Chapter 21 Trimming

Because John captured the pirate ship and formed a fleet with Bonnet's merchant ships, some of the pirates who had been thinking of Bonnet retreated - no one knew how strong a caravan could capture a pirate ship was, not to mention that he was not very dominant in the artillery bombardment.

The voyage after that was less twisty and twisty, except for two worlds shattering and reorganizing along the way. John looked at the sight and knew that Edward had arrived safely at his destination. Of course, halfway through John, he also tried the impact of the broken and reorganized world on other people, and sure enough, after the breaking, Bonnet and they were still able to communicate with John normally, but the reorganization would make everyone ignore John's existence.

Very interesting. It seems that the world is indeed built on a fixed memory, and every time the world is reorganized, everyone in the world will act according to the memory of that time, and because John did not really live in the past, that is to say, there was no John in the original memory, because their memory was overwritten, or shrouded, this miraculous phenomenon occurred.

One day, John saw an archipelago on the lookout, which was numerous and scattered haphazardly across the sea. Bonnet consulted with John, and decided to go to the archipelago for two days to find out if there were any animals that could be hunted to replenish food, and of course it would be best if fresh water could be found, so that the ships could replenish the fresh water.

At night, everyone took out the prey caught on the beach, including bobcats and turtles, and some crabs, shrimp and shells that were caught by diving in the shallow water. Since the island was small and there were no large predators, John watched as the sailors disemboweled the prey one by one, piled the entrails on the other side, and then peeled off the skin, washed and cut the meat into strips, and cooked and dried it over a raised campfire, and, of course, the fish, which were also common food in seafaring.

John watched as the sailors picked up a shell, gently pried it open with a knife, carefully picked out the entrails with the tip of the knife, and then put it to his mouth and sucked it hard, sucking the whole flesh of the shell into his mouth.

Watching their movements, John also picked up a seashell and wanted to learn to give it a try. When he was in the Ter'an Continent, the radish used to say how delicious the shellfish was, but at that time, John did not see shellfish for sale in the market, so naturally he never had the food that this radish never forgot. Now that he had the conditions, John wanted to try it too. However, because it was the first time, John was not proficient, and he didn't master the strength of the first shot, and directly smashed the shell.

Looking at the shell meat that fell from his hand to the ground, John fell silent. The sailors around him saw it clearly, and they all laughed when they saw John's movements: "I didn't expect Boss John to have something that he is not good at!"

John put down the knife in his hand, and the sailor next to him came up and taught John how to eat the shellfish: "Cut this place off with a knife first...... Yes, that's it. Then you can use the blade to insert it and pry it...... Well, it's opened. These are the internal organs of the shells, which are very dirty and cannot be eaten, so pick them out and eat the rest. John did as they did, and did take out the shells. Then John sucked the whole shellfish into his mouth and chewed it slowly, it was indeed relatively tender, and it was a good food without seasoning. No wonder the radish has been obsessed with it.

Standing up, John picked up a bottle of rum in one hand, pulled out the grilled fish that was inserted next to the campfire with the other, walked over to Bonnet, who was sitting on the side, and sat down next to him: "Bonnet, where is our destination?

Bonnet took the grilled fish from John's hand, and ate it to himself, regardless of John's eyes: "Oh. Thank you, friend, I'm hungry...... Well, we're not going to England, we're going to Barbados, my hometown. ”

"Aren't you English?" John asked, looking at Bonnet, remembering what he had said earlier.

Bonnet took a bite of the fish: "Yes, that's right, that's right, the British Commonwealth of Barbados Islands." Spit out the fish bones, Bonnet continued: "There are sweet bananas and soft cotton, and plantations of sugar cane, like my estate. ”

John listened to Bonnet with interest. In his knowledge, it is not yet known in the past. Britain also has colonies here. Listening to Bonnie always say that he was English, he thought he was from England or Scotland, and wondered why he sailed so far to Havana to trade goods. Unexpectedly, Bonnet's estate is in the Caribbean.

"Now are you going home? with these goods. John pointed to the docked cargo ship, "Where can your tobacco fetch a high price?"

Bonnet looked at the cargo ship: "In Barbados, there will be merchants who will buy it somewhere, but tobacco is more profitable than white sugar, so I would rather take white sugar to Havana in exchange for tobacco, and then sell the tobacco to those consignees, and then double the profit in one trip." Not to mention your goods this time. He pointed to John's boat. John picked up the bottle and took a sip: "Those are yours now." "What?" asked Bonnet, who didn't react for a moment. John glanced at the pirate ship, "The cargo is yours now." "Okay, okay, mine. Bonnet shrugged, "But I haven't given you the money yet, have I?" "That's yours too." ”

John was chatting with Bonnet here, and the sailors over there suddenly let out exclamations. This intrigued Bonnet, who stood up and walked over: "What's wrong with the boys?"

One of the sailors looked at Bonnet and John approaching, waved what was in his hand, and said, "Boss, John, a companion found this in the sea." With that, he walked over and handed the thing in his hand to Bonnet. Bonnet took what the sailor handed him, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a gold necklace encrusted with rubies.

Bonnet looked at the gold necklace in amazement, and now Bonnet could find some blood stains on it, and there was a hint of fishy smell on it. Seeing this, Bonnet asked, "Where did you get this? This necklace is not cheap." ”

The sailor pointed in the direction of the campfire: "When we were killing the fish just now, we found it in the belly of the fish." We suspect that there may be other undiscovered treasures around here, either on these small islands or still sleeping at the bottom of the sea. With that, the sailor looked at Bonnet, "Boss, how long will we dock on these islands?"

Bonnet knew that the sailors wanted to hunt for treasure on the island, and if he set out soon, they wouldn't be able to do so. Thinking of this, Bonnet thought for a moment: "In this way, I will give you a week, and in a week we will set off." According to the rules, half of the treasure you find is mine. ”

"Of course, of course. The sailor nodded and turned to the campfire: "Everyone, the boss gives us a week and only collects half of the harvest!"

Hearing this, the sailors cheered as well.
