Chapter 158: Set Sail Again

"Peppers and corn, it seems to be good, if this is not the Caribbean, it must be an island near the Americas, because these two crops are native to the Americas!" Zhao Jia looked at the food exchanged today, and said with great certainty at the moment, in addition to tapioca flour, the Taíno people also exchanged a lot of other foods, corn and peppers are part of it, which is acceptable to them, and there are also some unacceptable foods, such as bugs and lizards, which they can't eat.

"Yes, this transaction is very successful, not only let us be more sure of our position, but more importantly, we have laid a certain foundation of friendship with the Taínos, and now the ship's interpreter has been actively in contact with the Taínos, hoping to learn their language as soon as possible, learn some of the customs and habits of the locals, and according to the information obtained from today's exchanges with the Taíno leaders, their ancestors seem to have migrated here from the western continent." At this time, Yang Shiliang also smiled and said.

"Okay, you two don't talk about these boring questions anymore, the Tylenol peppers taste good, they are very spicy, I'll go make a few dishes to celebrate, I'm tired of the hot sauce on the ship, or fresh peppers are better!" At this time, Liao Yuan laughed and said, he is a greedy person, although his cooking skills are not as good as his junior brother Xu Yuan, but it is not bad, now there are so many fresh ingredients, plus he lost so much weight some time ago, and now he naturally has to make up for it.

Zhao Jia and Yang Shiliang heard that Yuan was going to cook in person, and their eyes lit up at the moment, and they helped with a smile, although there were also chefs on the ship, but their skills were much worse than Yuan, but some time ago, Yuan's illness almost lost his life, and they couldn't taste the food made by Yuan himself for a long time.

Zhao Jia's trade with the Taínos lasted until the evening, and even after the trade ended. The Taíno did not leave, but raised a fire on the beach to make dinner, and the men and women sang and danced, and had a party with Zhao Jia and the other Song people, and the Taíno women were very open, and they flattered some of the young crew members during the meal. The crew were all strong-blooded young men, and they had been on the boat for months, and this was the time of the fire, so the two sides hit it off, and after dinner, the pairs of dogs and men were out into the grass outside the beach to run errands.

For this kind of thing that you are willing to do, Zhao Jia and they will not stop it, because letting the crew vent their anger can also adjust their psychology, and many native tribes are willing to let the women of the tribe mate with outsiders and have children, such as the men in the Taino tribe who saw their women and the crew burrow into the jungle. Not only did they not have any anger, but they also encouraged loudly and cheerfully, which was a scene that Da Song did not dare to imagine.

Zhao Jia, as the commander of the fleet, naturally had many native women approaching him, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused, which was influenced by his father Zhao Yan, although he may not love only one woman emotionally, but as long as he marries the other party. He would be loyal to his wife and would never outside. At this point, he can't be as merciful as his good brother Li Cheng, just the women in the family are about to form a team of 100 people, if you count the women outside, there is basically no problem with a thousand people.

Zhao Jia didn't go, but he was a monk when he was old, so he naturally didn't go. But Yang Shiliang went, after all, he was a young man, and he was different from Zhao Jia, because he had not yet married, speaking of his age. should have been married a long time ago, and the family also told him many times, but Yang Shiliang didn't feel the woman, so he kept dragging it out and refused to get married, so his marriage was about to become his parents' heart disease, but Yang Shiliang was not as conservative as Zhao Jia, and he usually went out with Li Cheng occasionally to mess around, and now for these Taino women sent to the door, he naturally will not refuse, not to mention that although the Taino people are a little darker, their facial features are a little similar to the Song people, and they are more in line with their aesthetics.

After a night of romance, I don't know how many native women will be pregnant with the children of the Great Song Dynasty crew, but these are not what Zhao Jia cares about, what he cares about is that after this incident, the relationship between them and the Taíno people has become closer, so Zhao Jia and they are not in a hurry to leave, but continue to stay here to strengthen exchanges with the Taíno people, learn their language, understand their culture, and learn more about the American continent from the legends of their tribes.

In this way, Zhao Jia has been staying in the Taíno Islands for more than a month, and the interpreters in the fleet have basically mastered the language of the Taíno people, such as Liaoyuan itself, who is proficient in many languages, and is very knowledgeable, so he mastered the Taíno language earlier than the general interpreter, and he also made some analysis of the Taina language, so that other people can master it faster.

More than a month later, Zhao Jia and they finally decided to set sail again and continue to sail west to reach the legendary American continent, but the news of their departure made the Taíno people very reluctant, and the leader of the Taíno people even expressed their hope that they would stay several times, but unfortunately Zhao Jia They would not stop exploring the world by themselves, so in the end they still left resolutely, but on the day they left, all the Taíno people came to the beach to see them off, especially those Taíno girls, who were reluctant to give up, Because they had a wonderful time with the crew during this time, especially when these crew members generously gave them some clothes, porcelain, etc., which also made them even more reluctant to leave.

Zhao Jia's crew members were actually a little reluctant, but they had a more ambitious goal in mind, so in the end, they all resolutely got on the boat and left, but when the ship left, they stood on the deck and kept waving to the beach. Yang Shiliang is also one of them, during this time he hooked up with a beautiful Tailen girl, and also established some feelings, and even wanted to bring the other party on the boat before, but unfortunately the other party did not agree, which made Yang Shiliang very disappointed.

However, the fleet has just left Taino Island for only two days, Yang Shiliang and these people have recovered from the sadness of parting, the fleet continued to the south under the command of Zhao Jia, during which they encountered a lot of islands, as long as it is an island with living conditions, almost all of them have Taino people to live, although they do not belong to the same group as the previous Taino people, but the language and customs are figured out, which also facilitates Zhao Jia's communication with each other, so after sailing for another two days, the beautiful and rich American continent finally appeared in front of Zhao Yan and their eyes.
