"It's not that you can't, it's just that you need some conditions, such as fire oil and other accelerants. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Murong Tao explained, "But the phenomenon you mentioned does exist, but I've only seen it once so far." ”

Captain Franks looked at Murong Tao in surprise, but soon, there was a relieved smile on his face, "Sure enough, when you heard about the saint-level powerhouse, your face was still unwavering, I guessed that you must have surpassed me, maybe only one at the level will have such calmness as you, right?" ”

"Then you overestimate me, I just met it by chance, and it was similar to your experience." Murong Tao shook his head, "I'm not modest, I really haven't reached that realm yet, but I believe that I will definitely reach that height in my lifetime, do you believe it?" ”

"I believe it!" Unexpectedly, Captain Franks' answer was so direct and affirmative.

The two people, one big and one small, sat face to face in silence, silently, as if thinking about something, but the two people suddenly raised their heads in unison, glanced at each other, and actually laughed, this is probably the tacit understanding between the two people, right?

Early the next morning, everyone began to be busy transporting batches of basic materials to the Karrick-class business and war dual-purpose ships docked in the dock.

Because it is a merchant ship, the problem of the overweight chassis affecting the speed has also been solved by the ship boss, the original three-track sailing ship has added a diagonal sail at the tail, the first two sails are used to control the speed, because the previous ship is used to transport slaves, so the sail is a whole sail, and the speed will be much higher than that of the split sail, but once it encounters a battle, the sail is pierced by cannonballs or crossbow arrows, which will affect the speed, so this time the ship boss promised to change the two overall sails to be composed of three split sails, In order to avoid encountering such embarrassing things.

Although the sail operator can repair the damaged sail surface with the help of the ship's craftsmen after the battle, in the event of a sneak attack during the battle, or if the opposing reinforcements arrive, or if they are defeated, the split sails that are not destroyed can be used to escape.

On the ship, Murong Tao is no longer alone, he must be responsible for the lives of others.

In order not to attract the attention of the British Royal Navy on the other side of the strait, the ship's boss painted the hull of the ship into a unified model of Dutch merchant ships at Murong Tao's request, and at the same time purchased the flags of several countries from some channels to deal with some special matters.

The position of the muzzle is a big capital, in order to look at it from a distance, and you can't notice that there is a muzzle there, so that those who plan to covet this ship know that this is a normal merchant ship, and it is an unorganized merchant ship without frigate escort, and the pirates hurry over and eat it!

The reason why it is similar to the appearance of Dutch merchant ships is because the Dutch Republic will part ways with its old club, the Spanish Portuguese Empire, on April 30 this year and sign a 12-year armistice.

Of course, Murong Tao will not just be willing to act as a scumbag, his purpose is to take advantage of the opportunity for the Dutch Republic to survive from the fingers of the Spanish Portuguese Empire, and prepare to take the opportunity to develop capitalism, to find some bonds for him, then Britain across the sea from the Kingdom of France is one of his next targets.

Since it will take a long time for the flat-bottomed ship to appear, at present, it can only use ballast to ballast the Carrick-class three-track sailing ship to avoid capsizing due to the clearance of the ship's cargo, and the ship boss has already piled a large number of sandbags on the bottom of the ship before they came, because of the delicate relationship between the ship boss and Marcus, so Murong Tao did not interfere too much.

"Here are 20 boxes of pickled fish and 30 boxes of potatoes, because the fish is seafood, even if it is pickled, if it cannot be properly controlled, it will slowly rot, so this time I just brought 20 boxes to test the water, because cod and herring are very common in this area, and potatoes are grown in many cities, so the raw materials are not very troublesome." Marcus saw Murong Tao coming over, pointed to the wooden boxes carried by a team of sailors and explained, and then he leaned into Murong Tao's ear and said in a low voice, "It's just that tomatoes are a problem, just like what I said before, everyone else can imitate them, but the sauce is not a recipe and proportion, and it is difficult to imitate it in a short time, but this kind of tomato can't be left for too long, but if it is made into a sauce and transported, it will also be a problem." ”

"This problem is actually easy to solve, but it will be delayed for a few days before we can go to sea." Murong Tao remembered that the first invention of canned food dates back more than a hundred years, so it is better to use their process to make some contributions to himself first, as long as he gives a gag order to this process and technology, he can maintain the same confidentiality as ketchup in a short time.

Hearing that this huge problem had become so simple in Murong Tao's mouth, Bayard, who was checking the freshness of the raw materials on the side, was not calm, and pulled Murong Tao to the side where no one was around, his eyes were full of heat, Murong Tao knew that his appetite was almost over, so he whispered in Bayard's ear.

Marcus saw that Bayard's face went from surprise to horror at the beginning, and then from horror to surprise, and finally his whole face was happy to become a chrysanthemum, and a fat face was about to laugh, so he was embarrassed to cover his mouth and look left and right, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but try it, all the materials were easy to get, most kitchens had them, and paraffin wax was also easy to obtain, and this matter was really only available to him, a chef, but Murong Tao told him that no one could tell him except himself.

In fact, this storage method is invented by the Frenchman Nicolas Appel in 1795, his preservation method is to put meat and soybeans into the jar, gently stuff the cork, can not be tightened, and then put it in a hot water bath to heat, until the food in the jar boils for 30 to 60 minutes, take it out and plug the wooden stopper while it is hot, and apply beeswax or paraffin wax at the sealing place to seal, and the sealing time is greatly increased.

Murong Tao said to Bayard in a simple way, in fact, the principle comes from Appel's theory, that is, at present, Bayard can only be asked to keep secrets alone, the only trouble is that all the operations have to be completed by him, fortunately, he is a chef who likes to cook, although he is a little fatter, but he has not yet developed inertia.

I originally thought that I would delay for a few days, but I didn't expect that after lunch, Bayard returned to the dock with two apprentices in the tavern, one holding a jar in his hand, and Murong Tao and Marcus stayed in the captain's room.

After Bayard had the two apprentices set the jar away, he let the two of them return to the tavern.

Only then did he mysteriously push a jar to Murong Tao, Murong Tao looked at the jar whose seal had been wrapped in beeswax, and nodded, now I can't see if it can be kept fresh for a long time, and when it comes to the next port, open a jar and take a look, because with experience, Bayard can also make this kind of simple canned food on the ship, and the attendants who came with him carried the jars to the deck one by one, and let those sailors move them to the galley cabin.

"We're going to sea tomorrow, if there's anything you haven't done or want to do, hurry up!" Murong Tao was in a good mood, so he joked with Marcus, "Do you have a few old friends who want to comfort other people's fragile hearts at night?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey~!" Bayard laughed, "I can prove for Marcus that he has no interest in any other woman than his wife!" Not to mention the vulgar powder in those taverns, he has a habit of cleanliness! ”

Cleanliness? It's a spiritual cleanliness, right? A person who has been a boatswain all his life, not to mention coming from a mountain of corpses and a sea of corpses, at least he has not killed less, how can he have a habit of cleanliness?

Marcus was just a man with his hands on his chest, ignoring the two singing and harmonizing, his heart was probably already flying to Pavrel, and the thought of seeing his beloved daughter soon, his old face was full of relief.

"Why, who are you thinking about, smiling so much?" Murong Tao joked, "Hey, do you miss Martha again?" You're really a 24-year-old dad! ”

"What's the shame of thinking about my daughter? I just thought about it! Marcus admitted directly, "It's you stinky boy, don't beat my daughter's idea is true!" Otherwise, see if I don't break your legs! ”

Murong Tao looked out the window and didn't answer, he knew that Marcus wanted to miss his daughter, right? Although what he said was deliberately angry with him, Murong Tao had a last resort in his heart, he came here inexplicably, I don't know if there is a chance to go back, what if I have some feelings with the people here and change history? However, at present, it seems that the great process of history is still developing with the development of freedom. It's just that if history is really accidentally changed, will the old man still exist?

And, what about yourself?

To say that in the past three months, Murong Tao, who has been glued to Martha, has no good impression of Martha, a girl who knows how to be considerate. But he is very restrained, as soon as there is a sign of uncontrollable behavior, he will walk away directly, choosing to escape Sometimes he is protecting himself, and he doesn't want to harm others.
