Chapter Fifty-Seven: Traveling Abroad

In Shudi, cowpox has been planted very smoothly, and less than 50 people have died of fever after planting pox so far. Among these 50 people, most of them are old and in average health, and the number of people who have been infected with pox has exceeded 50,000.

The three major cement factories brought a lot of wealth, and with the establishment of dozens of oyster sauce mills, the recruitment work went smoothly and the quality of the recruits was excellent.

If the previous melee between the three kings was to survive and shrink and develop in the cracks, then after the annexation of Ninglu and Ninglu, the king of Shu was like eating feed, and he was rapidly fattening.

The huge wealth obtained by the king of Shu, in addition to being used on soldiers and horses, also invested a lot in the irrigation project of the canal, to solve the problem of grain cultivation for his own people, and at the same time to make reserves for his own granary.

This great war with the steppe Tatars did not seem to have had much impact on Shu. It's just that the number of merchants who have crossed the river has increased, and there are still some ordinary people who have crossed the river to plant pox.

But this situation, just wait for Daxia to finish the pox vaccination, it should be quickly alleviated, according to the spies, the capital is already starting the trial.

None of this has yet affected the sixteen people who are vomiting during the sea voyage, and these days of offshore sailing, although there are waves every day. Today's waves were particularly exciting, and shook all the passengers on the ship, except for the crew.

Group vomiting can easily bring about a chain reaction, plus the sea waves are rippling, and even Cuihua is no exception to sloshing. Dizzy, one person held a basin and vomited in the dark.

In the evening, the ships docked at the dock of an island, which was so well located that it was bought by a family to serve as a transit point for sea voyages, to provide supplies for ships going to and from the sea, and to dock at night. A few days ago, their ships were all resting at the docks.

On the ship, with the goods and crew of the freight, there were also fifty or sixty pedestrians on board. No one was spared vomiting during the day, and at night they couldn't eat with their stomachs empty, so they all held their heads and went to bed early.

In her sleep, Cuihua felt that she was still rippling in the waves, constantly shaking, dizzy, and in a trance.

When she woke up the next day, the dizziness did not subside much, and she began to doubt her body, when did she become so fragile?

Push open the hatch and breathe! Yet, this, what the hell, how is the ship drifting on the sea? You can't even see the coastline!

A spirit, patting his head and dangling, isn't it?!

Cuihua, who didn't want to face this change, but was helpless about reality, and other pedestrians were called to the hall by a strange strong man.

Facing more than a hundred pirates with short knives, the group's heads finally stopped being so dizzy, but began to hurt. There was a man who looked like a steward, still holding a pen and paper asking for pedestrian information and registration.

Most of the questions asked, what is their name, how old they are, and what skills they can order. And pedestrians, who don't know anything, are obviously diverted to the other side.

When it was Cuihua's turn, Cuihua was the first to come out and answer in order, saying that she was a restaurant chef and was very good at cooking.

The people below, drawing scoops according to the gourd, pulled out their skills one by one, Mr. Fan immediately went online with a Confucian posture, and also made an important description of his champion name.

The cubs are not in the scope of the assessment, the main thing is to see if the body is strong or not, it seems that the two cubs are very good, and the housekeeper is very satisfied.

Aunt Li is also a cook, and Lu Xiuniang and Sister Yuan reported the skills of female celebrities. Boss Li, Ding Jia, Zhao Leiting, and Mr. Fan's servants and guards all have the strength of their handles, and the porters are also.

Although I can't figure out what these people want them to do, it's better to know some technology than anything else.

After these people were registered, they were also classified and detained, one for those who knew how to cook, one for female workers, one for those with some knowledge, and one for the cubs.

Except for water and steamed buns, it doesn't matter.

The previous boat boss and his gang are estimated to be more and less lucky, and this vast sea is also a good place to kill people and sell goods.

After seven days and six nights at sea, he landed on the night of the seventh day. The entire boat was driven off the boat, but the number was clearly wrong. Under the torches, there were only more than 30 people looking at the figures.

In the dark night, they couldn't see the terrain clearly, but they only knew that their group walked for about 2 hours before they were taken to a cliff cave, without any explanation or shouting, and a group of people continued to be imprisoned.

After experiencing wolves, bandits, sieges, ground movements, and the captivity of the mountain fire clan, he was just a little panicked at first, and he looked at his mother calmly looking at them, and soon quieted down.

The quiet days have passed for a long time, and they have almost forgotten the fierceness of their mother.

The fierce Cuihua will be thinking, where is this ghost place? On the modern map of the country of flowers, is it the country of bangbang or the country of cherry blossoms? Their ship has been heading east. And the housekeeper who registered them obviously spoke an official language.

This is obviously not the same as the Wildfire Clan, this is a trained team, these men in black walk between them, the bottom plate is steady, she has no doubt, their short knives have seen blood.

But the shape of the handle of the knife was something she had never seen before, and the clothes were also different from the common Great Xia Dynasty, and in the dark, Cuihua blinked: Travel abroad!

Don't be afraid to go abroad, in my last life, I went to the North and South Pole and Africa! The kimchi of Bangbang Country, the Wagyu beef of Sakura Country, she is not too familiar with it!

After dawn, at breakfast, someone finally came.

It was a forty or fifty-year-old mother-in-law who came, probably because the sea breeze was too strong, and the furrows on her face were not shallow, and she had a walnut face! The triangular eyes are not good, and the cheekbones are prominent, this face is really not good.

With a sagmy face, he threw a basket of black-flour buns and a bucket of water.

After everyone finished dividing the steamed buns, they asked, "Who can do the work on the stove?" Thanks to staying in Ludi for a long time, I can understand her semi-official and semi-Lu dialect, Cuihua, Aunt Li, and three women are in the ranks, these three women are all thirty or forty years old, and they should be the servants brought by the ship's passengers.

The walnut-faced woman ordered the five people to come out of the queue and asked them to follow. As he walked, he said: "Don't look around, don't talk to each other, don't ask around, just do whatever you want!" ”

After an hour's journey west along the cliff road, we arrived at a house. The houses are all wooden and densely connected.

And what they were brought into was a large kitchen of hundreds of square meters, Walnut Face and a kitchen steward muttered in a language they didn't understand, and before long, each of the five was assigned a bucket of fish.

The island, the fish are not the main meat, the newcomer, you kill the fish for me! Let you cook? Inexistent! There are a lot of people in our big kitchen, all of them are chefs! There is a vacancy for killing fish and peeling shrimp!

Shrimp peeler. Cuihua: Why don't you use my knife to kill fish!
