Gong Changyu couldn't help but shudder, and glanced back at Zhou Xiaoyi, "Foodie lady Zhou Xiaoyi, you want to scare me to death!" ”

"So cowardly, and calling himself a general?" Zhou Xiaoyi grinned, and two tiger teeth were exposed.

"A woman should smile without showing her teeth, your tiger teeth are really ugly, like a tigress...... Why do you call me cousin? Gong Changyu asked.

"You were my cousin." Zhou Xiaoyi laughed solemnly.

"Why didn't you call your cousin when you were on the beach that afternoon?" Gong Changyu asked.

"I didn't recognize it...... I've got to drugged you, sit down! Zhou Xiaoyi pulled Gong Changyu, walked to the chair, pressed Gong Changyu's shoulders with both hands, and felt a little guilty when she saw that his arms were still bleeding.

It took a long time to give me medicine, and Gong Changyu also took Zhou Xiaoyi: "I should have been given medicine a long time ago, hey...... Let me ask you something, you live alone in such a big yard, aren't you afraid at night? ”

"There are no ghosts on this island, what is there to be afraid of?" Zhou Xiaoyi got a little tea, dipped the goose feathers in the tea, and gently cleaned Gong Changyu's arms, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It's fine. It's nothing compared to being wounded to the bones by swords and bullets on the battlefield. Gong Changyu replied with a smile.

"Brother Changyu, are they okay with aunt?" Zhou Xiaoyi raised her head and asked.

"My mother has been dead for several years since I joined the army, only my grandmother is still alive, and there are no relatives at home...... The military was busy, and I didn't go home...... Hey......" Gong Changyu sighed.

"Oh. So what have you been doing in the barracks all these years? Zhou Xiaoyi gave Gong Chang the medicine and asked curiously.

"With the Jingnan army fighting everywhere, because I offended the leader of the Jiang army, I was transferred to Lenghu Mountain to farm, and at the end of last year, because the blue wolf army set out from Yuexi County to attack Baocheng Mansion, it was reactivated by the imperial court and became a nominal four-rank general...... Gong Changyu said.

"How long has Baocheng Mansion been besieged?"

"The periphery has been besieged for more than two months, and it looks like it is about to enter Lixia, the war is snoring, and the blue wolf army has not retreated......"

"Then what are you doing in Nanyue?"

"Buy a warship."

"Brother Changyu, you are called an escape. A warship costs 100,000 taels of silver, can you afford it? ”

"If you can't afford to buy a new one, it's better to buy an old one."

"The daily expenses of maintaining a warship are too great, I advise you not to toss it and dispel this unrealistic idea as soon as possible."

"yes. But I've already paid 2,000 taels of silver from the beautiful Kenren*, so it's impossible to return it, right? Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"Huh? The beautiful Jianguo is so far away from Panyu, the beautiful and healthy people are not trustworthy, do you also believe these foreign devils? Zhou Xiaoyi was stunned.

"It's also oh, I said that I delivered the goods on Baisha Island this afternoon, and now I haven't come, is there a civil war in the United States of America?" An ominous thought flashed through Gong Changyu's mind.

"It's quite possible. So you might as well buy a warship from the nearest Franc man. Zhou Xiaoyi reminded Gong Changyu.

Speaking of the word Franc machine, Gong Changyu still understands something, but he can't figure out which countries the Franc machine country specifically includes: "Where is the Franc machine?" ”

There was a fleet of the Francophiles in Macao, entrenched there, but they still had to pay the land rent to the Governor's Office of Nanyue. According to Lilac Hua, a young man in the "Jun Zailai" restaurant, the Francophone people are much friendlier than the Eagle Strike Li people, and they are all openly and honestly engaged in business and trade with the Qing and Heguo.

Unlike the Eagle Strike Li people, Mingli said that he wanted the Qing and the country to communicate with each other, but secretly he wantonly smuggled large cigarettes from Bang Ge and other places to various counties and counties of the Qing and the country, taking real money and silver, destroying the bodies of the common people, and was strictly forbidden by the imperial court. As a result, the insatiable Eagle Strike Li twice launched a war against the Qing Hoa under the pretext that the tobacco trade was suppressed.

"Brother Changyu, the Franc Robot has a half-new and old warship in Taipa, Macau, why don't I take you there tomorrow to take a look?" Zhou Xiaoyi took out a nautical map and spread it out on the table.

Gong Changyu took a look at the map, which densely marked the place names of the islands and reefs, and then took a closer look, this navigation chart was drawn by the eunuchs of the Three Treasures during the Yongle period, and it was very old. couldn't help frowning: "Is there an latest version of this nautical chart?" ”

"No." Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head.

"Then how are we going to negotiate with the Franc Man?" Gong Changyu put his hand on the position of "Macau".

"This is not urgent. There are fishermen on Baisha Island who can speak the Francophone language and can help. Zhou Xiaoyi put away the map, "I seem to be a little hungry, I'll go get something to eat." Would you like to eat it? ”

"Hmm." Gong Changyu responded.

"Then you come with me." Zhou Xiaoyi held a candle and took Gong Chang to the kitchen.

So, Zhou Xiaoyi put on an apron and began to get busy. Looking at a large water tank in the kitchen and a variety of fish and shrimp (with cages), Gong Changyu was not very interested, and suddenly remembered the Tibetan mastiff that was killed by himself outside the house, and he hadn't eaten dog meat for a long time: "Xiaoyi, it would be nice if I had a leg of dog meat." ”

"Oh my God, you actually want to eat dog meat, where can I get it for you?" Zhou Xiaoyi shouted.

"Your dog is dead, won't there be dog meat when you roast it?" Gong Changyu smiled.

"That's not going to work. You can't eat my dog! Zhou Xiaoyi pouted and said that she didn't agree with anything.

"What to eat to make up for it, my shoulder hurts like this, you have to make up for my body." Gong Changyu stood up, "If you don't want to eat, I'll eat alone." ”

"You foodie! I have my own old dog, of course I can't eat it. Zhou Xiaoyi grabbed a piece of sashimi from the table, dipped it in the hot sauce, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"Zhou Xiaoyi, you are a veritable foodie, the fish fillet is not cooked, and you will have a stomachache if you eat it raw." Gong Changyu saw others eating sashimi for the first time, which was very strange.

"No, I'm used to it." Zhou Xiaoyi grabbed another slice on the plate and ate it with relish, "Do you want a slice?" ”

"It's disgusting to watch." Gong Changyu waved his hand and said.

"I want you to eat it." Zhou Xiaoyi pinched a piece and threw it into Gong Changyu's mouth.

The fishy smell of the fish fillet made Gong Changyu very uncomfortable, a little disgusting, he wanted to spit it out, but he didn't expect Zhou Xiaoyi to block his mouth with his hand: "If you want to eat, you can eat." ”

There was no way, Gong Changyu had to try to chew the sashimi, which felt sweet, cool, and a spicy taste, and then closed his eyes and swallowed it.

"How's it going, does it taste okay?" Zhou Xiaoyi said with a smile.

"It's ok. Sashimi doesn't seem to look so unpalatable either. Is there anything special about the material of the fillet? ”

"Yes. The perch, white carp, yellow croaker, blue carp, snow age, and grass carp are the top, and the grass carp is the top of the white carp. If these are fish, carp can also be. ”

"How's that going to happen?"

"To the first out of the water splasher, to its skin sword, wash its blood, fine for a living, red skin and white li, light can be blown up, thin as cicada wings, two by two, wo to the old mash, and to pepper root, the entrance ice melts, to the will. However, the thinner the fish cut, the better, sometimes further cut into thin strips, called the wisps...... "Zhou Xiaoyi is worthy of being a foodie, and she said a lot, Cantonese customs are too complicated to make sashimi, Gong Changyu heard it in the clouds."

Gong Changyu walked to the side of the big water tank, fished out a tilapia with a net pocket, threw it on the cutting board, and slapped the fish head several times with a kitchen knife, the fish's tail curled up, and soon stopped moving: "Foodie lady, what you said is too expert, I don't understand." Why don't you say I'll do it, and we'll do it once from start to finish? ”

"Brother Changyu, eating too much sashimi is not good for the stomach, you are a general, it is better to cook it when you first arrive on the island. I'll get you a steamed tilapia tonight, and then I'll get you a fried shrimp and stir-fry the squid. Zhou Xiaoyi picked up the fish scraper and scraped the fish scales with a brush......

Gong Changyu didn't cook when he was young, he would only eat ready-made meals, so he only had to add firewood to the fire and lay his hands. The two cooperated tacitly, and soon Zhou Xiaoyi, who was quick with her hands and feet, prepared the three dishes and put them on the table.

Smelling the fragrant dishes, Gong Changyu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and clip a lobster, the skin was not peeled, and he swallowed it in one go.

It's troublesome now, Gong Changyu is useless to drink water hard, and the lobster's "head thorn" is still in his throat, coughing vigorously, but it still doesn't help. He was so anxious that he stretched out his hand to pick it, but his fingers were not long enough, so he had to turn to Zhou Xiaoyi for help.

Zhou Xiaoyi saw Gong Changyu's embarrassed look, and couldn't help laughing: "Haven't you ever eaten lobster before?" ”

Gong Changyu shook his head: "I've eaten it...... But not as big as tonight......'"

"Oh, that's river prawns at home, silt. You open your mouth, let me see, where is it stuck in your throat. Zhou Xiaoyi walked to Gong Changyu's side, lowered her head to support Gong Changyu's chin with one hand, and held a candle with the other.

"Xiaoyi......" Gong Changyu stood up coldly, and hit Zhou Xiaoyi's chin headfirst, she felt that her teeth and tongue were touching together, and her tongue was bleeding.

"Brother Changyu, what are you doing here?" Zhou Xiaoyi was so painful that tears came out, and she spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

"Xiaoyi...... I didn't mean to......" Gong Changyuhan said with a smile, tugging Zhou Xiaoyi's hand.

"I think you did it on purpose, obviously when you see me standing in front of you, you will bump into my ...... when you get up," Zhou Xiaoyi complained.

"Foodie little lady......" Gong Changyu touched his throat, "I'm so uncomfortable...... Come figure it out for me. ”

Zhou Xiaoyi walked to the edge of the stove, found a vinegar bottle, lifted it and shook it a few times, but found that the vinegar was gone.
