Chapter 286: Recruitment
And this fat man's request is so simple, as long as he can eat enough every time.
It wasn't until later that Ye Feng realized how insidious this request was, because the fat man's appetite was really not covered, and he could eat fifteen of them at a time for half a pound of bread, and ordinary pirates could only eat more than two if they died.
And he was able to drink a large barrel of rum every time, and it was because of this that people who knew him called him a barrel!
Later, the comptroller Lorev calculated carefully, and found that although the barrel did not pay dividends, the food he ate every time he calculated that it cost more than 100 gold pounds in a month.
You know, it's just because he only eats low-quality food that can barely fill his stomach, and if it was those expensive high-quality foods, then he would have starved to death!
Fortunately, the strength of the barrel in close combat did not disappoint Ye Feng, and in every engagement, he directly rushed into the enemy with his rough skin and thick flesh to slash left and right, and his thick fat was simply stronger than ordinary armor.
Moreover, the fat man's physique is also different from ordinary people, and general injuries do not need to be treated with medication, as long as they eat a big meal and sleep well.
After getting off to a good start, Yefeng once again picked up his spirits and interviewed the next pirates, but unfortunately, after a few hours of interviewing, he never met the pirates who met his requirements.
It was almost late at night, and there were only a few pirates going on to interview, so he announced that he would continue the interview tomorrow.
Of course, Nightblade is also very good at being a person, and in order to make up for the remaining pirates who have not yet been interviewed, he directly asks the remaining pirates to each have a glass of lambs, which is a potato rum that is about half the price of regular rum.
That way, the remaining pirates won't have anything to complain about.
Then, after paying the money, he returned to the Verne with Demballa and Sinnet.
When they returned to the Verne, they found that although it was already late at night, the number of pirates returning from the Verne was not very large.
Presumably they are still fighting on another battlefield by now!
After smiling helplessly, Nightfront walked straight to the captain's room and lay down, but just in case, he summoned the hunter before he fell asleep.
With a hunter who is proficient in concealment, it is really not easy for the average killer to assassinate him.
Besides, his health is now as high as nearly 1,000 points, and no matter how strong the assassin is, it is impossible to kill him in a short period of time.
I don't know if it's because this time the ship is docked in a calm harbor, this time Ye Feng slept surprisingly soundly, you know, in the previous days of sailing at sea, because the wind and waves at sea can be said to have been non-stop, causing the ship to swing all the time.
Although this swing is accustomed to ordinary pirates, it is really unaccustomed to him who rarely touches the sea, which has led to his sleep quality not being very good in those days.
After waking up, Ye Feng walked out of the captain's room, and the warm sunlight shone on the human body, giving people a lazy feeling!
Looking at the time, I realized that it was already more than 9 o'clock in the morning, and for people in this era, 9 o'clock can be said to be very late, because most people get up around 6 o'clock.
Then, after questioning the pirate men standing guard, he also learned that most of the pirates on the ship had returned to the Verr at about 3 or 4 o'clock, and except for a few pirates who did not return all night, most of the pirates had already returned to the battleship.
After a brief breakfast, because it was already docked, the breakfast at this time was much more hearty than the usual meal on the sea.
The toasted bread is sweet and soft, and it is very different from the bread that can be said to be hard and you can't bite it, and with the carefully grilled bacon, it tastes quite good.
After satisfying breakfast, Ye Feng didn't plan to call the sea apes this time, and prepared to go to Turtle Island by himself.
After all, at this time, the average pirate has just fallen asleep! Most of the pirates only come out around late in the evening, so it can be said that he has nothing to do until this time.
That's why he had the idea of strolling around Turtle Island.
After instructing his subordinates to be on guard, Yefeng walked alone to the market on Turtle Island.
Compared with later generations, today's bazaars can be said to be very simple, most of the items to be sold are directly sold on the roadside made of earth, and only a small number of wealthy merchants have a relatively high-end house as a place to sell.
Walking through the noisy market, Yefeng's nose is constantly persecuted by all kinds of mixed smells, which are formed by the smell of animal feces and human sweat.
However, after walking for a while, he was a little disappointed, because most of the things on the market were very commonplace, such as chickens, ducks, and all kinds of vegetables.
And even in the blacksmith shop, most of the weapons and equipment in it can be said to be very unsatisfactory, which is almost compared with the general white-level equipment, and even so, the number of military weapons is very small, most of them are made of agricultural iron.
At this time, after continuing to walk for a while, a shop with scissors and a long needle logo suddenly appeared in front of him.
When he went in, he realized that it was not a place to cut his hair, as he imagined, but a tailor's shop of that era.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Feng was not in a hurry to leave, but called the boss and asked him to cut out a few blank black canvases, and after cutting, he asked the boss to embroider a white skull in the upper left corner of the black canvas.
For Koh Tao Island, a place where pirates gather, it was really common for the owner of the tailor shop to embroider canvas flags with skull patterns.
Therefore, the owner of the tailor shop naturally sewed according to Yefeng's request, and soon, the owner of the tailor shop handed over the four black canvas flags sewn with the style of skulls to Yefeng.
In the end, the price of 4 canvas flags is not expensive, only 2 gold pounds.
I have to say that compared with the businessmen of later generations, the businessmen of this era are really simple!
After wrapping up the four black canvases and putting them away, Nightfeng left the tailor's shop, and then he walked to the other end of the market, and his target this time was a paint shop at the other end of the market.
The quality of the pigments in this paint shop is not inferior even compared to the pigments of later generations, and the most important thing is that the pigments of this shop can remain unfading for a long time even if they are immersed in seawater.
And the reason why he knows so many things about this paint shop is that after asking the owner of the tailor shop, the boss recommended it, because the owner of the tailor shop has always used the pigments of this paint shop.
After walking to the paint shop at the other end of the market, Yefeng pushed the door directly into the store, only to see that on the wooden shelves in the store, paint boxes of various sizes and colors were neatly placed.
To his slight surprise, he actually felt a faint and invisible aura of magic inside these paint boxes!
It turns out that the reason why the pigment of this paint shop can stay in the sea water for a long time without fading is because the shopkeeper has mixed some magic plants in the paint.
Of course, not just anyone knows how to make paint from magical plants, and the owner of this paint shop knows this because he studied under an alchemist for several years.
Although he did not acquire most of the skills of an alchemist due to his limited talents, he did learn to distinguish basic materials such as magic plants.
But immediately, Ye Feng's brows furrowed slightly, because since the pigments in this paint shop were mixed with magic plants, it also meant that the price of the pigments would definitely not be cheap.
Sure enough, under his inquiry, the boss directly gave a high price of one gold pound of paint for a box, you know, a box here is almost the size of a paper beverage box, and the amount of paint in the box can be imagined.
According to Ye Feng's idea, a box of paint is definitely not enough for him, because he needs a variety of colors of paint, and the boss must not be able to give him additional paint of every color.
Finally, after thinking carefully for a while, he still bought more than 20 boxes of different colors of paint, which is more than 20 gold pounds to spend.
After paying for the paint and leaving the shop, Nightfeng was not ready to continue shopping, so he went straight back to the Vere.
Although it was already the third pole of the sun, when he returned to the Verre, he found that there were not many people on board at this time.
It seems that they should all continue to chat with Zhou Gong!
Although Nightfeng wanted to wake up all the pirate men who were still asleep, he thought that he had dismissed this idea again, after all, it was undoubtedly a very unwise thing to do, because it would greatly increase the disgust of his men.
After all, no matter who it is, if you have a rare opportunity to sleep in, you won't want to be woken up for no reason, after all, strictly speaking, what Yefeng is about to announce is not very important!
