The return of Gordon and Allen indicates that the feast has begun, even if it is a very humble one, in this not-so-pretty bar, with no elaborate utensils and no well-dressed people.

A lot of meat was brought out of the back kitchen of the bar, and by the way, a roast goat, which was now on a large round table, surrounded by sailors.

The roast lamb is golden in the light of a kerosene lamp, the grease drips on the tabletop, constantly exuding an attractive aroma, and the skin is roasted crispy, which makes people appetize.

As is customary, Gordon tasted the roast lamb before announcing the official start of the feast.

"Well, that's delicious, that Smith!"

Gordon shouted to the chef across the round table as he tasted the roast lamb, and Smith ate it meticulously, slowly savoring the cooking and techniques involved.

"That's how mutton should be eaten, don't cook any mutton soup next time. ”

"Okay Captain!"

The happiest person at this banquet should be Kulic, who looked at the sailors who were eating meat, as if he saw his own dream.

The cheerful lads, who were loud and laughing, poured rum into their stomachs and sang songs congratulating Gordon on the great captain.

"Sailors, we're setting sail tomorrow morning, because of a special mission, so you'll have to be restrained tonight. ”

Such a hasty departure might have raised objections on other ships, but in the Jackdaw, a ship where the captain had absolute authority, the sailors simply replied aloud: "Yes, captain!"

The captain is always right, that's the consensus of all the crew.

The captain had a detailed plan for every step, and he was kind to all the sailors, giving them plenty of food and a lot of gold, so the sailors should repay their loyalty.

"Morgan, why don't you speak?"

Gordon leaned on the shoulder of his first mate on the side, looking at the person he had saved, and he had also saved himself.

There are too many causes and effects entangled between the two, and without Gordon, Kulic would have died in the sea a long time ago, and vice versa.

A stunned young boy, who doesn't know anything, will soon be eaten by people when he steps into the sea, and there will be no bones left.

"Captain, I only hope that you can go smoothly on the next voyage, almost all of my skills have been passed on to Allen, and you will have to rely on him in the future. ”

"Don't talk about that, drink. Gordon raised his glass, not wanting to make the mood sad, there are many things that need not be said, just remembered for the rest of his life.

Grunt......

The whole glass of ale was poured into Gordon's stomach.

"Morgan, you know, this time the voyage was a bit hasty, I can't send you home, as for your daughter, let's see you again, haha, what a pity. ”

"Where do you feel sorry for you like this?"

"Okay. Gordon put away his hearty laugh and said, "What a p......ity?"

"Gordon, you're enough!"

According to common sense, it should have been a slap on Gordon's head now, but this time Kulic didn't make a move, just a little silence.

"I heard you're going on an Eastern route?"

Judging by Gordon's construction of the big ship, the intention is obvious.

"Why not, it's a money-making journey. ”

"Then you have to be careful, watch out for the East India Company, and even more so for the pirates in Singapore. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Gordon's mouth, pirate, hehe, the so-called Captain Shao Feng? Anyway, he didn't see any difference between this pirate and others in the movie.

"The pirate leader is called Shao Feng, who has been at war with the East India Company for twenty years, and has eight hundred large ships under his command, not including the small ones that supply them. ”

Bang Bang!

The fork fell into the original plate with a crisp sound, and with it Gordon's jaw fell, is there any mistake, is it really a pirate?

"Are you kidding me, is this a pirate?" Gordon forced his chin up, his tone full of disbelief.

Kulić just took a big sip of ale, and replied helplessly: "Actually, I don't know, but I mentioned this in the intelligence of the Duolun Chamber of Commerce, it is said that the Chamber of Commerce was preparing to open up the Eastern Route ten years ago, and was wiped out by this group of pirates......

Well, Gordon took a deep breath, he finally knew why Jack always said that Singapore was a land of freedom, why Shao Feng was the most powerful of all the pirate kings, and why the French had been in contact with the Qing Dynasty since 1700, but only now reached a trade agreement.

Quietly take a sip of rum to suppress the shock, the ale can't save him anymore: "Can pirates be so rampant?"

Kulic's expression was noncommittal, outlaws, who can tell.

"Hello, Mr. Gordon!"

A young man he didn't know huddled next to Gordon.

"Sir, my name is David, David Brooke, I am a boatman, I used to work at Warner Shipyard, I heard that your ship does not have a shipwright......"

Because of this banquet, the sailors of the entire tavern looked at the sailors of the Jackdaw with great envy, and there were many people who wanted to join, but unfortunately the Jackdaw did not need more sailors, so almost all of them were politely refused, and then isolated outside, only this young man inquired about the boatman's problem, and then found an opportunity.

Gordon interrupted himself to introduce himself: "If you are really a boatman, then the most basic mathematics should be understood, what is the Pythagorean theorem?"

“......”

The boatman wants to be old and have more experience, so forget about this hairy young man, you see, the most basic problems are not known.

"I'm sorry, sir, I lied, I'm just an apprentice, and although I don't know how to build ships, I've repaired twenty merchant ships. ”

The young man bowed his head a little ashamedly, he had been an apprentice in the shipyard for two years, and he couldn't stand being called around every day, the same boring life, he was an apprentice just to be able to have a craft, and then join a certain sea ship and make a lot of money.

Warner Shipyard is not far from the Royal Dockyard, he was bored waiting for the Jackdaw to anchor in the repair dock, and then start the same work, but the merchant ship did not stop at all, and drove directly to the Royal Navy's maintenance dock, and from that time he knew that the captain must be a great man, a man of money or power.

"Son, my ship is not for you, you should go back to the farm to cut wool, or be a blacksmith or a factory, my ship has joined the ranks of privateers today, and we are at war with the ships of other countries, with pirates. ”

"Hahaha......"

The sailors looked at the reckless young man, who was no more than seventeen years old, and burst into laughter, so that the red-faced boy did not know what to do.
