"That castle is so magnificent!"

"This group of Japanese slaves can actually live in this magnificent castle!?"

"Didn't the Japanese slaves be beaten down by us, why let them live in such a magnificent castle and snatch them back!"

"Feng Shuo, drive the people who yelled just now back to the cabin!" Liu Yifeng said with some unhappiness: "The opportunity I fought for to breathe on the deck was for them to work, not to see the scenery!" ”

Feng Shuo was also unhappy with those lazy people for a long time, and directly took Ao Bai and others to carry out the order.

The efficiency of the people who carried things on the deck suddenly became much higher, and they held back in the cabin for more than 20 days, they were really grateful to Liu Yifeng for the opportunity to come out and breathe, and no one wanted to go back to the suffocating cabin.

Liu Yifeng held a booklet and a pair of charcoal strips in his hand, walking among the mountains of cargo on the deck, and from time to time asked the crew what kind of cargo they were, how many they were, and how much they were missing, acting like a ship's steward.

You know, he's a man!

In the minds of these Daming crews who spend half of the time in Dongshan Prefecture every year, the people are about equal to the cargo, but no one in the whole ship feels abnormal about Liu Yifeng's actions.

This is not something that can be done by playing mahjong with the captain and getting acquainted with most of the crew. For such a thing as counting supplies, the low-level crew members on the ship are not qualified, only the high-level crew members can do it.

Liu Yifeng was able to win this job for four reasons, one is his strong negotiation ability, and the other is that he is literate and can do arithmetic.

Arithmetic, in particular, is a skill that only a specialized master can have. But as long as Liu Yifeng is given enough white paper and charcoal strips, his arithmetic speed is not weaker than that of the two masters who dial the abacus. After all, he is a senior in engineering, and advanced mathematics is his compulsory course, and it is not as difficult as college entrance examination mathematics to calculate materials or anything.

So these two masters, who were so tired that they were about to vomit blood, jointly found the captain and applied for the job for Liu Yifeng.

"Liu Yifeng, what do you eat at night?"

"Braised pork, are all your flour refined wheat?"

"These cans are refined wheat."

"The refined wheat and the coarse wheat are kept separately, if the captain finds that the refined wheat is damp, you will look good."

"Okay."

"What's the staple?"

"Chestnut rice. Check the bags of refined wheat or coarse wheat, peppercorns, star anise, and garlic again, and I don't think you want to eat the worms. ”

"Understood!"

Garlic granules, star anise or peppercorns in flour jars can effectively inhibit flour worms, which is the wisdom of ancient people, and even in later generations continue to use.

"Keep this charcoal well, so you don't get wet."

"Got it. Liu Yifeng, what is a chestnut? ”

"A kind of food, where is your hometown, haven't heard of chestnuts?"

"I live in Cangzhou, but I haven't seen chestnuts."

"No wonder, chestnuts mainly grow in the mountains, anyway, it's a good thing, you wait to eat it."

It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to grow chestnuts on a large scale, and almost all chestnuts were wild. People whose hometown is in the mountains are accustomed to the existence of chestnuts, but in the North China Plain like Cangzhou, chestnuts were indeed rare in that era.

This made most of these crew members recruited from North China very curious and kept inquiring.

"Alright, don't ask, just wait and eat. Li Hongji, bring a few people over and move the charcoal down. ”

Japan, a country where 9% of the land is mountainous, chestnuts are not uncommon.

Soon, news of eating braised pork with chestnut rice in the evening spread among the crew. Although the treatment of the navy is very good, and there is fish and meat in the meal, the braised pork is already a dish at the level of the lower restaurant, and most of the crew members showed a simple smile.

This is also the third reason why Liu Yifeng can get his current status on this ship: the food cooked by this kid is really delicious!

Braised pork is a dish of the Song Dynasty and was invented by Su Dongpo. However, because there were too many ingredients and ancient chefs generally had a view of the door, the cooking techniques did not spread, and even in the Ming Dynasty, the braised pork did not reach the level of home-cooked food.

After the inventory was completed, Liu Yifeng returned to the cabin with the booklet, and the two masters were drinking a plate of fried peanuts with a cup of you.

The wine was rewarded by the captain, the peanuts were fried by Liu Yifeng, the laziness was stolen by the two masters, and the gang was checked by the captain.

"Hello Captain."

Liu Yifeng also walked to the door of the cabin only to find that the captain was following him, but the cabin door had been opened, and the fact that the two masters inside were lazy could no longer be concealed, but he still greeted loudly.

Although there is no change in the current situation, at least buy a favor and let the two masters know that they have done their best.

The two masters hurriedly packed up the liquor and peanuts, but the captain pushed Liu Yifeng away and walked in.

"I'm giving you a bottle of wine for you to drink after you're done, not for you to drink now!"

After speaking, he glared at Liu Yifeng fiercely, because it was with him that these two masters would be lazy. But then again, it was also with Liu Yifeng's supply work at the port this time that it could end before dark.

He is responsible for this.

The standard configuration of his Nanyang-class treasure ship should be 4 masters, but the masters who are willing to be hired to run Dongshan Prefecture are a minority after all, and everyone likes to run Nanyang.

After all, Nanyang is close to the Ming Dynasty, and it can run all year round, and it is relatively safe than going to Dongshan Prefecture, and the number of Han people who settle in Dongshan Prefecture is far beyond Dongshan Prefecture. These two masters owed too much debt and had no choice but to accept their employment.

But the work that should have been done by four people had to be done by two people, and it was impossible to stay in the port for too long each time the supply was replenished, so every time the supply was docked, the two of them would be tired like dogs.

This is also the fourth reason why Liu Yifeng can get his current position, after the two masters proposed to ask Liu Yifeng to help, the captain agreed after careful consideration.

This bottle of wine is his habitual reward to the two masters every time he stops for supplies, but he didn't expect to meet Liu Yifeng, a freak this time, and under the premise that the two masters are lazy, he actually relied on Liu Yifeng to complete the inventory of the goods alone.

To be honest, if it weren't for Liu Yifeng's fact that he had already drawn a bet with the Maritime Safety Bureau, he would just be a small captain of a Nanyang-class treasure ship, he really wanted to keep Liu Yifeng on his ship, but unfortunately he didn't have this right.

After teaching the two masters, he turned his head to look at Liu Yifeng: "Liu Yifeng, you really don't feel sorry for the cub selling the master's field, I will let you and the chef cook a delicious meal, you applied to the Maritime Safety Bureau for so much food!" ”

"Captain, I asked, the next time everything goes well on the shore will be a month later, I want the brothers to have a good meal, so that everyone can go to Dongshan Prefecture with high morale."

The captain is actually fake angry, and he belongs to knocking Liu Yifeng. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the temptation of braised pork was really too great, he might not have beaten Liu Yifeng, but whipped him directly.

The men from the five trading houses disembarked at Kurochijo, and the people from the Maritime Bureau disembarked in Edo, and the voyage after that was entirely the task of the navy.

According to custom, the steward or master of the trading house would entertain the crew of the treasure ship at Blacktooth Castle, and the Maritime Bureau would open up supplies at Edo Castle for the crew to eat, but it was up to the navy to cook the food.

For any Nanyang-class treasure ship, the chefs who are generally invited will only make some basic food that can be swallowed, and it is basically impossible to make them make some delicious food.

The chef of this treasure ship basically only grills smoked fish, hot cakes, and boils kombu fish soup. The crew only ate more meat than the people, and in essence they ate the same kind of thing.

Liu Yifeng's existence made the crew finally eat something good, and these days those chefs have simply become Liu Yifeng's assistants. In the morning, when the captain told Liu Yifeng to take the ingredients on the list given by the Maritime Safety Bureau, he had chosen what to do.

After hearing about the braised pork, the captain was satisfied, and he didn't pay attention to the fact that there were a lot of noodles, seasonings, soybean oil, green onions and garlic on the list, mainly because he didn't know how to cook.

These materials are what Liu Yifeng is going to entertain his more than 200 younger brothers, and he wants to make noodles.

But after all, the amount of more than 200 people was placed there, and the captain only asked Liu Yifeng to make a good meal for the crew to eat, but he didn't think that these people were goods in his eyes, so he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

"Captain, the people are also laborers, and they have been locked in the cabin, they will be sick, and you don't expect that the people from the Dongshan Prefecture Maritime Safety Bureau took over and found that dozens of people died."

"There were so many deaths there, a dozen at most."

"That's a few. It's better to let them come to work as laborers every time they come to the shore, so that everyone can be more relaxed and they can breathe. ”

The captain has been a little convinced, it usually takes at least 2 days to count the materials, but today it can be done in 1 day, in addition to Liu Yifeng's help, more than 200 young and strong laborers are also a reason.

"Captain, you don't have to worry about what I do, I will take responsibility for any basket. It's been so long, when do you think I've had a problem? ”

The captain wanted to leave Liu Yifeng more and more, and he found that this kid was really a talent, and he didn't know how he got mixed up to go to Dongshan Prefecture to be a people's husband.

In the end, after Liu Yifeng patted his chest and sat down with some assurances and sent a few high-level sycophants, the captain agreed to Liu Yifeng to give the people a good meal.
