"Zi~" As the potato slices entered the pot, there was a soft sound with the high-temperature grease at the bottom of the pot, and then a fragrance wafted out, and the Mayan girl who was in charge of cooking next to her quickly turned the potato slices while sprinkling special seasonings on them.

"Shisuke, come and do this!" Lu Wan, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, raised his wine glass and said to Feng Shijie with a slightly red face, looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he has drunk a lot. Behind them, two Mayan maidens are in charge of cooking for them.

Feng Shijie was not polite, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Lu Wan, and then the two of them drank it all, but the taste of the wine in the cup was very light, and there was a sweetness in it, not to mention that compared with famous wines like Wuwang Drunk, even the water wine brewed by ordinary hotels was better than this wine.

After taking a sip of this bland water wine, Feng Shijie stretched out his chopsticks again, picked up a piece of golden potato chips fried with fat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, a slightly spicy and sweet taste bloomed on his tongue, this feeling was really satisfying.

This is the bow of the Americas No. 1, and Lu Wan and Feng Shijie have nothing to do today, so they asked the two Mayan girls to cook a few side dishes, and the two drank opposite each other. The wine on the ship has long been drunk, and the wine they drink now is made by themselves from corn abundant in the Americas, because it has not been distilled, so the degree is not high, and the wine is orange and yellow in color, with a sweet taste, which is somewhat similar to the rice wine in the Central Plains.

"Shi Jie, our mission to find the Americas this time has almost been completed, and the supplies on the ship are almost ready, it is estimated that we will return in half a month at most. If you can go back, do you have any plans? "Lu Wan ate a few peanuts. Then he asked Feng Shijie seriously.

But after hearing this, Feng Shijie smiled and said, "What else can I plan?" Naturally, he returned to Luzon and then accompanied his wife and children. We almost starved to death at sea this time, and they were the ones I missed the most, so I don't think I will go to sea again in the future, I have been a rich man at home, and I will live a peaceful life! ”

Lu Wan was also a little disappointed when he heard this, he was a natural navigator, and even since he discovered Australia that year, Lu Wan had decided to use his life to travel the whole world. America is just one of his targets. However, if he wants to fulfill this ideal, he needs a good fleet, and Feng Shijie is undoubtedly a good helper.

And Feng Shijie is also an extremely smart person, when he saw Lu Wan's face, he guessed a few points in his heart, but at the moment he smiled and said, "What? Captain, do you want to explore other places after exploring Perfect Island? ”

"Yes, I want to explore the Perfect Continent and then take the fleet to the Great Food and Eastern Rome in the Far West. In particular, I heard that the Eastern Rome was also an ancient country with a thriving civilization, and the maritime industry also had its own unique characteristics, so I wanted to visit it for a long time. And if you have the opportunity. On the world map that His Royal Highness King Qi gave us, there are many places we haven't been to, and these will be my goals! Lu Wan also said unabashedly.

Feng Shijie was shocked when he heard this. He asked with some concern: "Captain, although you are in the prime of life now. But if you want to go through the whole world, you can't do it in a few years. If you wait until you are old and weak, will you still sail to sea? ”

Although Feng Shijie's words were a little harsh, Lu Wan also knew that the other party cared about him, so he didn't care about it: "I naturally know that it is a little difficult to travel all over the world, but I have already made up my mind a few years ago, and the family has also made arrangements, such as the concubines who have not given birth to children, I have sent them away, and the remaining wives and concubines and children have also made arrangements, it can be said that I have no worries, as for where I can go, even if I can't go, maybe one day I can't walk, then I will simply die at sea, anyway, in this life, It's inseparable from the sea! ”

Lu Wan's words made Feng Shijie also a little moved, and even an impulse to follow the other party for a lifetime surged in his heart, but his reason quickly suppressed this impulse, after all, he was not Lu Wan. Lu Wan can give up his family to fulfill his ideals, but he Feng Shijie cannot, because in essence, he and Lu Wan are two kinds of people, Feng Shijie is a man who cares about his family, especially after almost dying on this voyage, he cherishes his life and family even more.

Seeing Feng Shijie's silent appearance, Lu Wan also felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and immediately laughed and stretched out his hand to pat Feng Shijie's shoulder and said: "Shijie, our brothers are awkward, I also know your temperament, so I told you this today, not to embarrass you, but to have another thing for you to help!" ”

As soon as he heard that Lu Wan didn't want to say that he wanted to go to sea again, Feng Shijie's heart was also relieved, and when he heard that Lu Wan had something to help himself, he patted his chest and said: "Captain, if you have something, just give orders, even if it is difficult, I will help you do it!" ”

"Haha~, I'm waiting for your words, but it's not really difficult, I've been to the pine plateau where your home is located, it's not as hot as other places in Luzon, and there are towns, and education can keep up, so I plan to build a manor there, so your sister-in-law and nephew and others will move there, so you can help me choose a place, and if your sister-in-law and they encounter anything in the future, don't forget to help."

Hearing that Lu Wan was just asking for this, Feng Shijie immediately assured on the spot that as long as he was there, he would definitely not let Lu Wan's family suffer the slightest grievance!

Although the two have different aspirations, it does not affect the friendship between Lu Wan and Feng Shijie, so after discussing the matter, the two of them are you and I drink a cup of wine, they are used to drinking spirits like Wuwang Drunk, so they naturally have no feelings about this newly brewed light wine, so they drank several jars in a row, although they went to the toilet countless times, but they were not drunk, which has to be said to be a pity.

But what makes them satisfied is that the cooking skills of the two Mayan girls are really good, although some of the food native to the Americas tastes strange, but it feels good to eat it, such as the fried potato chips, they are not used to it at first, but now it has become a must-have dish when drinking, and the same is true for fried peanuts and turkey.

Although he didn't get drunk after drinking for a long time, Feng Shijie also felt a little dizzy in his brain, and then he suddenly remembered one more thing, and asked casually: "Captain, Kata and they have been away for a month, and they haven't come back yet, and they have brought so many goods, will there be any danger?" ”

Lu Wan laughed when he heard this: "Shi Jie doesn't have to worry, I just received news from the city lord of Mansa this morning, their people have already sent news from Calais City, Kata They have traded the goods into what we need, and now they are on the way back, as for the security issue, there is no need to worry, they are secretly carrying metal weapons, and there are also a few muskets, as long as they are not intercepted by a large number of Mayan regular troops, there will be no danger." ”

Hearing that Liu Kata was about to come back, Feng Shijie was relieved. Just over a month ago, the fleet had almost touched the situation within a hundred miles radius of Mansa City, and the animals and plants that Mansa City could help them collect had reached the limit, and some things could not be found here at all, so in the end, Lu Wan decided to send Liu Kata with a group of crews, and then go to a city called Calais a hundred miles away with the people of Mansa City.

Calais is not a cottage city like Mansa, but a real Mayan city, with a population of about 50,000 to 100,000, and Calais is the overlord of this area, and a small city like Mansa needs to pay tribute to Calais every year.

In addition, Calais City is also the commercial center of this area, not only the surrounding people to trade in the city, but also caravans from afar, transporting goods from distant areas to Calais City, some of the plants provided by Mansa City to the fleet in the past were obtained through Calais City, but their financial resources are limited, and the things traded are naturally not very much, this time Lu Wan sent Liu Kata out, and brought a lot of goods brought by the fleet, ready to trade on a large scale in Calais City, and there are a large number of people escorted, to ensure the smooth completion of the transaction.

"When Kata and them come back, we will have all the things we collected this time, and we will return by then, so I am really reluctant to be here." Lu Wan burped, and looked at the Mayan girl next to him with drunken eyes.

These girls in Mansa City are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and their length is more in line with the aesthetics of the Central Plains, so in the past few months since they arrived in the Americas, many crew members in the fleet have left romantic debts here, even Lu Wan himself is no exception, it is estimated that when they return to the sea, I don't know how many Mayan girls shed tears for the departure of the crew?

In addition, Lu Wan also knew that some of the crew members even made the local Mayan girls pregnant, although these Mayan women did not have any concept of chastity, but after all, they were still pregnant with the Han species in their wombs, so Lu Wan had already agreed with the city lord of Mansa that all pregnant girls would be moved to the port of Luvan, which was under construction, and would be funded by the fleet, and the children they gave birth to would also be registered and become real Han Chinese.

Of course, Lu Wan and they can't wait until those children are born to leave, and the matter of household registration will naturally be managed by someone later, after all, the built Lu Wan Port will become the bridgehead for Taiwan to land in the Americas, and the city of Mansa will also become their first ally.
