Chapter 108: The Attentive Joseph
Located in the south of the city on the bank of the Tuotuo River, it is the most important cargo distribution center of the capital of the Great Qin kings.
In the early morning, Joseph the sailor was ready to start his busy day. "Chief, where's today's goods?"
"It's already on the ship, we just need to follow the ship today, and we don't need to load the goods ourselves. ”
Joseph asked, "It's really strange, and there is such a good thing." Didn't Rand say that he was going to ship two ships? I should be busy again. ”
The captain replied, "This time it's a big customer, and even the boat has been bought, so we just have to be responsible for driving the ship." I'll tell you, get on the boat, stay on deck, don't run anywhere, don't look around. ”
Joseph looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he whispered, "Boss, the black goods shipped this time?"
The captain slapped Joseph on the head and said, "Why are you asking so much? You just have to remember that this boat will come down and you will be paid three months' wages." ”
Joseph gestured three fingers and said in surprise: "Three months? ”
The captain continued: "So you kid remember clearly, after getting on the boat, honestly, take care of your eyes and mouth. ”
Joseph nodded vigorously, this is three months' salary, and it is okay if he keeps not talking.
"That'...... Captain, where are our employers going?"
"Thirty-six Nation Commonwealth. But we only need to get off the ship by Ripulis, and we don't need to go abroad. But we have to be responsible for teaching the employer's men how to sail the boat before that. ”
Joseph asked, "Captain, the ship is gone, how can we come back?"
The captain slapped Joseph on the head again, "You are stupid, if we have money, we will buy two new ships, maybe the employer originally planned to buy a new ship in Riplis, and when the time comes, won't the old ship still be our own." ”
Seeing the golden glint in the captain's eyes, Joseph was sure that the employer had given him a lot of money.
With the high-pitched sound of the horn, the two cargo ships left the southern pier of the city and merged into the southbound ship stream under the golden morning sun.
Lei Feng walked out of the cabin, holding the side of the boat with his hands, feeling the cool river breeze, and the gloom in his heart seemed to be blown away a lot.
Joseph saw Lei Feng from a distance, and from Lei Feng's clothes, he saw that he must be the young master of a noble family, so he ran forward and said: "This little young master, the wind is strong in the morning, and this river wind does not dare to blow for a long time. ”
Interrupted by Joseph, Lei Feng turned his head to look at the man who suddenly appeared, and said with a smile: "It's not in the way, I'm okay." ”
Seeing Lei Feng's kind attitude, Joseph knew that his opportunity might come, and said: "The little young master is fine, then I don't know if the little master has had breakfast, if not, I will go and ask the kitchen to make one." ”
Joseph didn't say that it was okay, and as soon as he finished speaking, Lei Feng's stomach growled twice. Touching his stomach, Lei Feng said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really a little hungry, so I'll trouble you." ”
Joseph hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble, it is my Joseph's honor to be able to serve the little master." Wait a minute, I'll be back shortly. ”
Not to mention, Joseph's speed is really fast, from leaving to coming back with a plate, it doesn't even add up to 5 minutes.
A pie, a plate of cut fruit and a glass of milk. It's simple, but it's very thoughtful.
"Little master, why don't I help you get to the room. ”
Lei Feng picked up the pie and took a bite, although the taste was not as delicious as at home and the academy, it was also distinctive. "Just eat here. ”
"Okay, then you eat slowly, I'll take it. ”
Lei Feng didn't refuse, and slowly finished his breakfast with the scenery on the riverbank.
After eating breakfast, wipe your mouth clean with a napkin. Lei Feng took out a gold coin and placed it on the dinner plate.
"I was satisfied with the breakfast, thank you. ”
Looking at the cute golden elf on the plate, Joseph couldn't believe his eyes. He was indeed so attentive to the reward of the thunderstorm, but at most he only fantasized that it would be great to be rewarded with a silver coin, a gold coin, oh my God~ Who can pinch me, I'm not dreaming, right?
"Who's pinching me?" Joseph screamed and turned around angrily when he felt a hard pinch in the back. "Forehead, boss, why are you here?"
Captain Santu put his face on Joseph's face and whispered, "You kid can take my breakfast and pat me on the back, so what do you let me eat?"
Joseph sneered and said, "Boss, haven't you always taught us that customers come first?" I saw that this little master was hungry, so I casually brought breakfast, I didn't expect it to be yours, how about I pay you mine?"
Santu picked up the gold coins on the tray and said, "Go back to dinner, the gold coins will be confiscated, and you will spend the money indiscriminately." ”
The gold coins flew away, and Joseph walked to the kitchen in despair.
Santu put the gold coins in his pocket and said to Lei Feng with a smile: "Little master, breakfast has been delivered, do you have any other orders?" ”
Lei Feng said: "After they have eaten, you will start arranging for people to start teaching them to drive the boat, we don't have a lot of time." ”
Santu thought for a while and said, "Little Master, it's not a big problem to arrange someone to teach them to drive the boat, it's just ......"
Lei Feng asked, "What's the difficulty, just say it, do you want to increase the tuition fee?"
Santu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, how can I collect your money again, you have already given enough money." It's just that those servants of yours, who wear some loose clothes, are not suitable for working on a ship. ”
Lei Feng also knew that the clothes were too wide to do some work, but if they didn't wear them, those half-breed orcs with orc characteristics on their bodies would reveal their identities. Although the orcs have not yet announced those words to the mainland, revealing their whereabouts will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Lei Feng thought about it for a while and decided to let those half-blood beasts who only needed to hide their ears to hide their identities learn to drive boats.
Lei Feng said: "I will let them change into suitable clothes, you can rest assured of this." ”
Santu laughed, "That couldn't be better." Little master, then I will be out of company first. ”
Lei Feng also smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Santu." ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's my honor to serve you. ”
When Santu led the people and saw Lei Feng and the "baggage" behind him, his heart was in a mess. In the past, I only heard that the servants of the aristocratic family wore uniform clothes, but I didn't expect that they had to wrap their heads uniformly.
Sang Tuqiang said with a smile: "Little master, the servants of your family, the dress is really uniform." ”
Lei Feng said, "This is a custom in their hometown, and I think even a servant should be respected, shouldn't it?"
Santu praised: "The little young master is really kind-hearted, they are really blessed to be able to follow you." ”
Lei Feng shook his head and said meaningfully, "It's really a blessing to hope they follow me." ”
Santu didn't understand something, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately organized people to start teaching.
For the first time, the half-blood beasts began to learn the skill of sailing a boat, and they were very serious, for fear of missing any of the places to pay attention to. Because this time they are going to live for themselves.
Thunder Wind's words to them in the cabin still echoed in their minds: "My name is Thunder Wind, you should all have seen me, and you know the differences between me and the beasts, I brought you on the ship, not to expel you, but to lead you to true freedom." ”
"The destination of these two ships is in the remote islands of the West Sea, which is the deserted refuge of my choice, where we will spend a long time until you have the strength to protect yourself. ”
"Don't be so unconfident, I believe you will be able to, do you still want to live the dark life you used to have, and are you still willing to be powerless in the face of fate?"
"Think about your relatives, think about the pain you have had, the opportunity to become stronger is just around the corner, don't you even have the courage to give it a try?
"Today, I will arrange for you to learn how to sail a boat, this is the first step for you to become stronger, and it is also the first step for you to control your own destiny. ”
Lei Feng looked at the hot learning scene, and then looked at the same scene on another ship. The corners of his mouth curled.
Joseph ran over with a chair and said courteously, "Little master, sit and watch, don't be tired." ”
Lei Feng pointed to the words "captain's only" on the back of the chair and said, "Aren't you afraid that your captain will teach you a lesson again?"
Joseph smiled and said, "The little young master said that he is actually very easy to get along with, and besides, this is also for you, isn't it? ”
Lei Feng smiled and sat down in his chair. Joseph quickly brought another low table, set up drinks and snacks, and finally found a large parasol, which he himself acted as an umbrella post.
Thunderwind looked at Joseph with a little tears and laughter, and took out a gold coin and handed it to him under his expectant gaze.
Joseph quickly took it, put the gold coin in his arms like a thief, and then said with great gratitude: "Thank you for your generosity, God will definitely bless you with a smooth journey." ”
Lei Feng picked up the drink, raised his hand, and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." After speaking, he drank all the drinks in the cup and exclaimed: "I originally thought it was juice, but it turned out to be wine." It tastes so good. Do you know what kind of wine it is?"
Joseph replied, "Little master, this is the treasure of our captain, the tears of the goddess of the forest, and it has cost the old nose money. ”
"Oh, then I can't take advantage of you, how much?"
"Don't see it, our captain is reluctant to drink it, this bottle is just blended, and it is less than a gold coin. ”
Lei Feng poured himself another glass, looked at the emerald green liquor in the glass, and said, "It can have such a taste when it is blended, and it must taste better when it is not blended." Where do you sell it?"
"You are asking the right person, this wine is actually made by Bangzi, but Bangzi and Daqin have not traded for a long time, so there are few on the market. Our captain bought it from a merchant from Yagi Province. ”
Hearing Bangzi Kingdom, Lei Feng became worried about the situation in Daqin again, since the "White Mountain Revenge War" four years ago, the situation between Bangzi and Daqin has become a fire and water, all trade channels have been closed, and many caravans that need to pass through Bangzi to enter Daqin have been blocked from Bangzi.
And it is even more impossible for Daqin's goods to be sold all over the mainland. Only in the case of self-sufficiency should commercial ties with the Sith, the Thirty-six Confederates in the Southwest, Yagi and other countries be strengthened.
But in this way, the 36 countries in the southwest, which were originally suppressed, have a chance to breathe. Add an orc. Thunderstorm has a feeling that mountain rain is coming.
