A shrill whistle was heard, and a patrol in the red uniform of the British royal army arrived at the tavern with muskets.

Just as the clash was about to begin, the port guards were notified, and they did not intervene when they came to the tavern early, but waited for everyone to participate in the brawl before rushing out of the side alley with muskets.

There were about fifteen men in a guard, and at the sound of the whistle, an officer whipped the outermost officer with a leather whip.

The red-eyed sailor turned his head and saw the muzzle of the black hole, and instantly became honest.

As more and more people quieted down, the crowd inside began to realize something, and the first person began to run away, and everyone present dispersed in a hurry.

Those who are caught will either be fined money or will be locked up in a small black room in the prison of the guard for three days, and will inevitably be beaten, which of course is not to be taken lightly.

Although the men of the guard were carrying muskets, it was impossible to shoot rashly in this case, and these people did not deserve death, and it would be a big problem to kill a few people.

So the guards began to pick up wooden sticks, and ropes frantically pounced on the fleeing sailors, and others shouted for support, and more guards participated.

These sailors are their bonus, and it seems to have become a long-standing custom to catch too much, and maybe they can add food this month.

About sixty people were involved in the fight, and twenty-eight, nearly half, were arrested.

And Gordon, of course, is the one who was directly arrested, as the instigator of the group, both he and Amos are the most wanted targets, Amos fell to the ground and lost the strength to resist, and Gordon was blocked in a corner after being tired of three guards.

As a good citizen, he can't attack these guards, and he doesn't want to expose his abilities, so he can only be captured.

Bang dang!

The iron doors of the prison were locked, and Gordon was lying bored on a bed of dry grass for the first time in his life.

There was a foul stench here, rats scurrying around, and it seemed to be a gutter.

However, he was not worried at all, a fight was not a big deal, and he would probably be fined fifty pounds for making trouble, which he believed would be taken out by Kuric, who had watched a good show on the side.

Not long after lying down, he heard the sound of the guard opening the door.

"Gordon, someone bailed you out, you can leave!"

Watching a person get out of prison, others who had not yet waited for bail began to cry wolf, and some even shouted that they were wronged.

He was joined by two other crew members who had been caught in a fight, both of whom were released on bail along with Kulić.

"Captain!"

He looked at the two sailors with blue noses and swollen faces, and patted his shoulder: "It's all good, go out and add food to you." ”

Before the port of Cayenne, Kuric had already announced that Gordon would take over the position of captain of the ship, temporarily assuming the position of first mate, and finally disembarking when he docked in Havana, and then returned to Liverpool on a passenger ship.

As the group left the magnificent stone prison, Kulich was waiting outside.

"You owe me all the money you ransome!"

He didn't object to Gordon's actions, but everyone had to pay for their actions, didn't they?

Gordon laughed: "If I take your daughter, will all this money be mine?"

Kurich paid attention to him the whole time when Gordon went to talk to that **, he has no prejudice against women, is kind, should not treat his daughter badly, and has the ability, and saved his life, which is really a good choice.

"Are you serious?"

This question made Gordon suddenly embarrassed, and his face couldn't help but twitch: "Of course it's a joke." ”

Kulich shook his head, some people begged him to marry his daughter, and some people refused their kindness, sure enough, people's hearts are too complicated.

The voyage was nearing its end, and there were less than five days to reach Havana, the largest city in the entire Caribbean, so on this day, Kulic gathered the sailors to buy a large amount of delicacies, and then returned to the Coco for a large banquet, also an early farewell banquet.

It's also about fairness and equity and for everyone to be able to participate.

Leaning on the side of the ship, Gordon began to talk to Kulić about the canned thoughts.

"You want to say that the rot of food is due to small, invisible bugs, and that you can save fruits and vegetables at sea by killing them?"

Gordon looked at Kuric's questioning expression and raised his eyebrows: "That's what I meant." ”

However, Gordon overlooked one thing, which was that it was still the eighteenth century, and microbiology had not yet begun to sprout, and even more than fifty years later, at the beginning of the first industrial revolution, the steam engine had just begun to appear.

Kuric looked at Gordon, and if it weren't for his normal complexion, he would have thought that he had taken the wrong medicine, or that his brain was feverish.

"Haven't you heard of it?"

"Heard of what?"

"The theory of microorganisms, of course. ”

Kulić shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.

Gordon took a deep breath, if he wanted to have a profitable fruit cannery, should he build his own steam engine, and then study how to seal the iron can, and then talk about it later?

But as the first person in the world to hear about this theory, it was necessary to convince him, and the best way to persuade him was to prove it with facts.

"Morgan, when you go back later, you can do a simple experiment, soak a fruit, or vegetable in sugar, put it in a jar, seal it with beeswax, boil it in water for about ten minutes, and then take it out again in a month, I'm sure the food inside won't rot, and if you finish this experiment, you can write to my home in Havana, and I'll tell you how to do it next." ”

Then Kulic was still disdainful and disbelieving, and was too lazy to waste time on the experiment, he couldn't understand what the experiment was about, and could he still help himself make more money?

Seeing that the latter didn't take it to heart at all, Gordon had no choice but to set up a gamble.

"If it doesn't turn out as I say it is, I'll come to my door and apologize and then meet your daughter. If that's what I'm talking about......"

"Then I'll give you another two thousand pounds!"

The two punched each other, indicating that the gamble was effective, and the man on the sea attached the most importance to the gamble and promises, because in this era, letters were far away, carriages and horses were very slow, and there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime.
