As the winter sun sets, the sea calms down after a naval battle, leaving only the blue sea that never fades.

At this moment, on the deck of Zhu Qinfeng's big ship, a long table has been set up. Several oil lamps were lit.

That's right, there will be a European-style dinner here.

Zhu Qinfeng sat at one side of the long table, his fiancée Lilu on his right, and then another beautiful black-haired lady. On the left of Zhu Qinfeng, there is Zhengliang, and next to Zhengliang is a burly white man, who seems to be about 27 years old. This white man also became acquainted shortly after Masa-ra got on the ship, and his name was Ander. Tanas. Feng. Habsburg. According to Ander's own introduction, he was a distant relative of the Spanish Habsburgs. And the last one is a merchant of the Ming Kingdom, Zuo Moyang. He is very young, about 23 years old. I don't know how he met Zhu Qinfeng, Zhengliang only knew that many of the food on the ship was supplemented by this businessman.

Speaking of which, the people on this ship can be described as a multi-ethnic collection. Zhu Qinfeng is a Venetian, Andre is a Spaniard, while Masahiro's current identity is a Japanese, and Zo Moyang is a Ming national. Fortunately, these people all speak Chinese, otherwise I really don't know how to communicate.

"Everyone, a toast to our guests visiting today" Zhu Qinfeng, as the host, stood up first, raised a wine glass full of pale red wine and toasted everyone.

The rest of the people also picked up their glasses and stood up, shook their hands in salute, and then drank the glass of wine in their hands.

The toast is over. Dinner began in earnest.

Several maids brought the dishes and placed them on the long table one by one. Seeing such a move, the political conscience couldn't help but be a little surprised. According to his understanding, the European aristocracy in the Middle Ages was very particular about eating etiquette. In general. Before each dish, they hand a shallow tray of water and a towel to wipe their hands. The feast was almost exclusively for men, and only the most distinguished guests were allowed to bring their families to attend, while the host's wife, in order to maintain her dignity and elegance, often had to hide aside and eat with her entourage. At this time, the social class division and male supremacy also affected table manners. The younger generations should serve the elders, the young should serve the elderly, and the men should take care of the women. Men should avoid feminine behaviour when eating, lest the dishes stain women.

The scene he saw now was very different from what he knew, but it was a good thing for him. After all, according to the etiquette he knew. It's too rigid when eating.

After the host and guests began to eat, the attendants and subordinates around the deck also began to eat, including Liu Le, who was a retainer of Zhengliang. It was also the first time for Liu Le to attend such a dinner party with different characteristics, and he was also very surprised. But there is one thing he is sure of, that is, as long as he follows Zhengliang. There will always be new and bizarre things happening in one way or another.

They toasted each other a few times again, and everyone's conversation began to rise.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, you are different from other guys" At this time, the master Zhu Qinfeng spoke first. "The other guys always look loyal on the surface, but on the inside they are very treacherous. But. You're interesting. ”

Everyone stopped eating and looked at Zhu Qinfeng. Looking forward to his next steps.

"You are a straightforward and treacherous guy," Zhu Qinfeng said after the most conclusive conclusion.

"Haha" The people around him laughed.

"Look, that guy" Zhu Qinfeng pointed to Zuo Moyang in the last seat and said, "That guy is very shrewd. Like that...... The fox that the Ming people call it. ”

"Haha" This time, even the people not far away laughed.

Zhengliang smiled secretly, although he was a little slanderous about Zhu Qinfeng's evaluation of himself just now, but he agreed with his evaluation of Zuo Moyang. After some contact with Zuo Moyang this afternoon, Masato found that this businessman of the Ming Kingdom was a slow and thoughtful person, and once he thought about it, as long as he spoke, it was like a surging river, and his eloquence could be described as quite good. …,

"What a cute little creature that little fox is, how can you say that?" Lilu, as the hostess, spoke at this time, and she wanted to defend the little fox. In fact, Masaro once thought that this was the legendary sea woman Lilu who appeared in later games. Because she is also Dutch, and she met Zhu Qinfeng in Amsterdam. However, that's all the information Masara got about this beautiful woman, so even now he can't tell that this Lilu is Bilero.

As soon as Lilu's words came out, everyone laughed again.

"Speaking of which, Mingguo can be regarded as my hometown," Zhu Qinfeng drank two glasses of wine and stirred up other topics. He then began to talk about his ancestors being descendants of Emperor Jianwen, and in order to escape the raid of the Three Treasure eunuchs, the family moved several times in Europa before settling in Venice. Then he began to tell the story of his adventures at sea.

"Hmph, as long as I am given enough numbers, I will definitely knock down the Nanyang Governor's Palace" When it comes to Nanyang, Zhu Qinfeng has always held a grudge because of the unfair treatment he received from the Spaniards on the Nanyang side, so he is thinking of ways to prepare for revenge. He even expressed his intention to borrow troops from Portugal to launch the Third Crusade to conquer the South Seas and drive the Spaniards away after returning to Europe.

Regarding Zhu Qinfeng's thoughts, Zhengliang can't express his opinion, after all, Zhengliang's current task is to take care of his own one-third of an acre of land before he can think about other things.

But just because Zhengliang doesn't have ideas doesn't mean that others don't have ideas. Seeing that others were belittling his country, Ander, as a Spaniard, felt unhappy, and sneered and said, "Your Excellency, you must not underestimate the force of the Spaniards. ”

Andel is actually not wrong about what he said. Now the Age of Discovery was about to begin, with the Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch, and the rising English engaged in a great battle at sea. The Spaniards were the most powerful existence in this time period, and even became the "Invincible Armada" for a period of time, which shows how strong their sea power is.

"You shitty damned nobleman, have you forgotten who drove you out, and only relied on Angel to eat with me at the last time?" Seeing that someone had objections to his idea, Zhu Qinfeng was immediately dissatisfied, so he half-jokingly laughed and scolded at Ander.

As a distant relative of the Habsburgs, Ander no longer has a noble title, relying on his early years in the military to serve as the captain of the Spanish musket team. Meticulous in military matters. Later, he was transferred to the Spanish American colonies, and had a fierce conflict with the governor of the colony (the native-born whites were treated unfairly), after reading Marco Polo's travels, he decided to go to the East to pan for gold, because the Ming Dynasty was closed and could not enter the Ming Kingdom, and happened to meet Zhu Qinfeng's ship in Macau, and his wife Angel. Lilico was Lilou's playmate when she was a girl, so he was persuaded by his wife to temporarily become the captain of the musketeers on Zhu Qinfeng's ship. In fact, as a man, he is still dissatisfied with his current situation, but a man can bend and stretch, and he has never expressed any dissatisfaction with this for the sake of his wife's food and clothing.

"I say, Ander! You don't know the way yet, do you? His Excellency has a large territory, and there is a lot of gold and silver there, so why don't you go to him to get a position? Zhu Qinfeng continued to jokingly say. He's kind of familiar with Andre, so it's okay to make such jokes.

Zhengliang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, what Zhu Qinfeng said about the territory was true, but there was a lot of gold from him? At least not for the time being, of course, there are indeed three hundred taels of gold in Wang Hai's ship below, this is true. …,

Compared with Zhengliang, who doesn't care, Andre on the side is different. I saw that his eyes lit up, and he glanced at Masahiro thoughtfully.

The dinner went smoothly and everyone was very happy. Zhengliang took the opportunity to invite everyone, especially Zhu Qinfeng, to visit the territory during the banquet. Zhu Qinfeng also readily agreed. At the same time, he also mysteriously asked Masahiro if there were many beautiful women in his territory, preferably virgins. But before Zhengliang returned, he was dragged back by Lilu on the side, probably to serve the family law. I don't know if Zhu Qinfeng can go to bed tonight? Masayo thought evilly.

After the banquet, Masarashi was alone on the deck to enjoy the scenery. At this time, Liu Le had already returned to the small boat on the side of the big ship to report the news, and conveyed the news to the political and good people there that the big ship would visit the Luo family's territory with them. After all, with this big ship as an escort, there will basically be no more danger along the way, so that everyone can sleep peacefully tonight.

"Your Excellency Zhengliang, hello!" At this time, a stiff Chinese voice came from behind Masahiro.

Masarashi turned around and found that it was Ander who had walked behind him without knowing when.

"Hehe, Ander, hello!" Masarashi said with a smile and a salute.

"Your Excellency, I have come uninvited, and I have come to introduce myself to you," said Ander. This afternoon, he already knew that Dao Zhengliang had a lot of territory in the place he was about to arrive. In addition, after some praise from Zhu Qinfeng in the evening. He suddenly felt that it was good to get a position with Zhengliang. After the banquet, the idea grew stronger and stronger, so he told his wife Angel about the idea. Lilico, Angel is actually aware that her man has always been unwilling in his heart, and now that her man has a dream, of course she supports it. After getting the support of his wife, he decisively came to Zhengliang to recommend himself.

"Self-nomination?" Masahiro was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party had come to visit him for self-recommendation.
