Chapter 21 Good Gathering and Good Dispersion (II)

Under the command of a pretty palace maid, baskets of the latest seafood caught by the islanders were carried in front of Wang Qiu by the servants.

First of all, there are a large number of Mediterranean spiny crabs, this thing is also called the thorn back beetle crab, an edible spider crab, the Italians call it v11kt (Temoriks), which means "long spiny bread" - although the appearance of the spiny crab is very hideous and ugly, it makes people look hairy, but the meat is very delicious, it is said to be very nutritious, it is a high-end dish in modern Western food, and the price is quite expensive.

Then there are large baskets of oysters and scallops, the Mediterranean coast is sparsely populated these days, the fishery resources have not been overexploited, and all kinds of edible seashells are everywhere, and they are not worth a few bucks. In addition, there are many sardines, cod and bonito, which are common in the Mediterranean, and these three types of fish taste good, but unfortunately their value is not very high in modern times, probably because they are too numerous and common.

Then there are a few small Mediterranean sharks, because sharks are cartilaginous fish, the meat is relatively rough, and they also contain a lot of urea, which smells like urine. Therefore, the Cretan islanders, who lack the means to cook well, generally regard it as junk food and do not want to eat it at all unless absolutely necessary. However, in the modern world, not only can shark meat be cooked very delicious by various means, but shark fin is even more fried by Cantonese people to sky-high prices.

Finally, there is the "bluefin tuna", which is famous in the modern food world. This thing is a high-end aquatic product in both the East and the West, and the price can reach thousands or even thousands of yuan a catty. In the Tsukiji Fishery Market in Tokyo, Japan, there was once a 342-kilogram bluefin tuna, which was auctioned at a high price of 3.49 million yen (about 220,000 yuan) - although this market is not universal, only those rare large tuna can be sold at such an outrageous price, but it also shows from the side that the price of bluefin tuna is expensive, even a bluefin tuna weighing two or three hundred pounds of ordinary size can often be sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Unfortunately, the Cretan islanders in the 14th century BC only had simple wooden boats tied with ropes, and fishing nets made by hand with natural plant fibers, and even few metal harpoons (iron tools had not yet been introduced, and bronze was too expensive for poor fishermen to use), so they could only use stone tools and bone tools to fish, so the fishing technology was far inferior to that of later generations, and there was no way to take those big fish, so they could only make a small tuna of less than 200 catties to make up the number.

In short, for the Cretan islanders who call the sea home, this seafood is a bargain, if not universal, for the poorest. It's just because everyone's seafood consumption is limited, and salt and spices are very precious in these years, and ordinary people lack the means to preserve seafood for a long time, so they don't catch it on a large scale. So the royal family gave an order, and immediately countless seafood was sent in an endless stream.

Wang Qiu had just received a large batch of goods half an hour ago, and now new seafood had arrived.

“…… Well, it's 11,320,000 yen in total...... It doesn't seem to be as many as I thought."

Watching the servants take turns stuffing the seafood into the [automatic pawn machine] and counting the stacks of banknotes spit out by the machine, Wang Qiu smacked his lips a little dissatisfied—of course, compared with the all-natural and pollution-free pure seafood caught by the Cretan islanders, Wang Qiu and the other traversers only paid some cheaper sugar, refined salt, stainless steel knives and chemical fiber cloth, and the islanders thought that they had gained a big bargain...... Just as Wang Qiu was thinking wildly, but now that this batch of seafood had been classicized, the leading palace maid seemed to be still looking forward to something.

“…… Oh, it's so hard. This beautiful girl, take this. ”

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Qiu smiled meaningfully, took out a few small boxes of cool oil, and threw them to the palace maid, which was regarded as a reward - although such cheap labor protection supplies are absolutely impossible to give away in the modern world, according to the "social experience of the wild world" boasted by a relative who had been to Africa in the nineties, those women living in a wild environment are often very fond of this kind of gadget that has a pungent fragrance and can repel mosquitoes. Moreover, ointments like this one mixed with spices are usually a relatively luxurious thing in any ancient civilization......

However, this palace maid obviously had other ideas, and I saw that while she stuffed the cool oil into the small bag on her waist, she looked at Wang Qiu pitifully, "...... That one...... Honorable lord, people have encountered that incident again in the past two days, and the bleeding below is very bad, sometimes all the way to the instep of the foot, which is really unbearable...... So please be kind and give you a little bit of that kind of knick-knack, which makes people comfortable, okay? ”

So, in the face of this unrestrained and unrestrained woman, Wang Qiu first nodded clearly, and then took out two packs of tampons from his handbag......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

――When a modern woman travels back in time, what are the things that inconvenience her the most in the first place?

Well, if you list them all, I'm afraid it will be endless. But there is one thing that is absolutely not missing - and that is the absence of sanitary napkins

In ancient times, the common countermeasures for women to solve menstrual problems turned out to be grass and wood ash until a very late age, and cotton menstrual belts were available. Not to mention the stuffing materials such as animal fur and grass leaves in ancient times, even if the menstrual belt that was washed and washed in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China is still a health concern, and it is easy to be infected with gynecological diseases that are difficult to treat, and it often leaks, and the absorption is not good.

So, Shizuka Jukawa, a female school doctor, launched a new tampon at the market, and first found a female slave to come out to demonstrate in public, and then distributed Ruoyu for free after the trial, which was immediately very popular with women on the island, and was in short supply for a while. So much so that those palace maids begged to come to Wang Qiu's side - after tossing and turning again and again, Wang Qiu had to develop the habit of carrying tampons with him.

Belch? Why do you need a tampon that goes deep into your body, rather than a sanitary napkin that is a little more disciplined?

Because in this sad world, the great Ming of "underwear ♀" has not yet been born, where should your sanitary napkins be padded?

In fact, until the Middle Ages in Europe, Western women wore nothing inside their skirts. The same was true of the court women of Minos, who, although not as addicted as the ancient Egyptians, were accustomed to accentuate their bodies with thin garments with scarcity cuts, so that they could endure the blessings of the gods at any time and at any time - in this age of high mortality, it was widely believed that the love of men and women was a blessing bestowed on them by the gods, and the ability to have many children was undoubtedly a symbol of good luck, and the openness to "sexuality" was simply staggering......

Therefore, after happily getting two packs of tampons, the palace maid immediately threw a wink at Wang Qiu, and then offered a fragrant kiss "poof". At the same time, he also pressed Wang Qiu's body, two balls of soft flesh rubbed on him, and even touched his hand between his legs, making Wang Qiu couldn't help but boil the blood of the little beast...... If it weren't for the fact that the time was not coincidental at the moment, her body was not cool, otherwise she would have to roll into Wang Qiu's arms immediately, do some "interesting games" with him among the flowers, and show a warm relationship of friendship

Hey, girl, can you not be so arrogant, and don't forget that your master is not far away

Wang Qiu squinted at King Minos in the pavilion not far away, and smiled bitterly and beat the overzealous palace maid away—no matter how undisciplined he was, he would not openly overthrow someone else's maid in someone else's house...... However, the rich and soft seductive fragrance in Fang Cai's arms, the energetic freshness**, and the warm and smooth skin are really a little lovely.

Just as Wang Qiu was slightly melancholy reminiscing about the beautiful woman's delicate body, a crisp voice with a sense of ridicule suddenly sounded in his ears.

“…… Yo, did the Great Love Sage kidnap the love of an ignorant girl just now? How much love debt have you owed these days? ”

“…… I dare not be Miss Carroll, but I have always been careful in this palace, and I have not yet shown friendship with any court maid or noblewoman," Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders and replied very calmly, "Is there anything wrong?" Princess Carroll? ”

The strange thing is that in the face of such a very ordinary casual question, Cairol was extremely squirming, and struggled for a long time with a red face before he opened his mouth, "...... Actually, it doesn't matter. Merely...... What you just gave to that woman, can you give me a few packs too? ”

Wang Qiu was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, and then looked at her with playful eyes, before nodding and smiling and saying, "...... Ah, understandable, Miss Carroll, you must have felt very uncomfortable being forced to be in that position with rough papyrus and reeds since you left the modern world

Especially after enjoying King Memphis's 'full excavation, ......"

Then, before Princess Carrol, whose face turned red like a boiled crab in an instant, could not help but beat him with her little fist in annoyance, Wang Qiu laughed and threw away the rest of the tampon.

Looking at this innocent golden chick, like a squirrel hoarding winter food, hiding a bag of tampons in her skirt, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel very funny: Hey, Miss Carole, remember that you should have been born in the Vietnam War era in the United States, where sexual liberation culture was in full swing and hippies were all the rage, why was your character shy and conservative?

In short, although in some self-proclaimed "anti-Mary Suvin" who claim to be intellectual, the little white flower of the Virgin is portrayed as useless, and is purely a pig teammate who adds to the chaos. But according to Wang Qiu's actual experience, in the absence of any conflict of interest, this "oldest Mary Sue in history" is still easy to get along with. However, there are two principles that must be followed - first, don't fall for her; Secondly, don't do anything bloody and cruel in front of her, especially don't drag her to the battlefield, otherwise you are simply finding guilt for yourself......

Fortunately, Wang Qiu was not infatuated with this Nile daughter, nor did she intend to let her experience the cruelty of slave society. Previously, Senior Sister Ma Tong bought a large number of female slaves in the Cretan slave market, and she also did not hide it from Carol, but told her very bluntly that this was to let the female slaves be wives for Japanese immigrants, so as to form families and reproduce. There is nothing Carole's objection to or disagreement with - because in Carroll's conception, this is basically equivalent to restoring the status of a slave girl to a free man, which is definitely a good thing that should be strongly supported.

- Although she still babbles a lot, which probably means that she must be gentle with these poor slave girls, etc......

It wasn't until Carol had put away all the packs of tampons that Wang Qiu slowly mentioned another serious matter to her.

“…… Miss Carroll, there is an old saying in the East that says, 'There is no banquet in the world that will never be dissolved.'" It's been nearly a month since we left Egypt and come to Crete, and King Minos is almost recovered, so we're done with our trip, so don't you think it's time to go home?" You and King Memphis have only just been reunited, and they have been separated for so long, so he must have missed you very much in Egypt."

“…… I miss Memphis too...... However, Minos is only getting better now, and I fear that if he leaves like this, he will feel very depressed if he has no close friends around him who can talk. Carol hesitated as he bit his fingers.

“…… That's not a problem, Princess Carol, even if you return to Egypt, you can still talk to King Minos often, well, as long as King Memphis is not jealous. Wang Qiu said with a smile.

“…… After returning to Egypt, can you still talk to Minos often? Carol blinked, "...... Is it an international call? ”

“…… Pretty much, but a little more advanced."

Wang Qiu snapped his fingers casually, and then took out a small gadget from his handbag, which looked a bit like a tablet with a bracket installed, but with a detachable solar panel, "...... This is a 22nd century visual communicator for camping, with a maximum communication distance of about 2,000 kilometers, and can be recharged by hand and solar energy. In addition, it supports remote game battles...... Once you have it, you will be able to sit comfortably in the luxurious royal palace of Thebes, and enjoy the affection of King Memphis every day while playing happily with King Minos......"
