Cooking on an ocean sailing ship is very different from that on land, because it is an enclosed space, and the only ingredients that can be used are those that were originally carried.

From this point of view, the chef who manages the logistics of the ship has a great responsibility.

After about two months of sailing, if the ingredients supplied at the beginning were wrong, they would not just be unhappy and unappetizing. In order to last long on the trip, most of the sailors' food was specially treated. Smoked pork and bacon drained with a lot of salt are the main components, along with plenty of firm hard biscuits.

What kind of supplies to bring, and how much to bring, these details are very nerve-wracking to consider. Novice chefs who are not calm enough will always subconsciously want to bring as much as they can because of a sense of crisis. However, the space and budget of the ship are limited, and if it carries too much supplies, it will make the sailboat too slow to escape from the pirates.

Like any traveler, they have to be careful about what they carry. In addition, due to long-distance travel, whether the item can be stored for a long time has also become one of the important criteria.

But as mentioned earlier, this issue involves more than just appetite.

The preparation of the ship's nautical food is a matter of life and death.

Captain Francisco was a talkative man, and because it was extremely unlikely that he would meet anyone else on this part of the voyage, he and his sailors often communicated with the passengers.

Nine times out of ten, the development of this character is still related to the profession. After all, in the confined space of a ship sailing on the ocean, if everyone is silent and cannot speak unless necessary, the human spirit will be affected by this oppressive and tense atmosphere, and become neurotic.

The captains and sailors were mostly bohemian, chic and funny. And considering that the time of the meal is the time when the sailors and passengers gather most often, and can also talk, the chat with Captain Francisco naturally takes place most often at the meal.

Since it's a conversation while eating, it's only natural to talk about what you're eating.

Through his mouth, the girl learned a lot from Lady Roan and Kaleva, who always kept her notebook by her side.

The reason why the Oriental Moon and several other ocean-going sailing ships chose to go to sea in winter may seem risky to the uninitiated, but if you have enough knowledge, you will understand that this is actually a more stable option.

Summer weather in the North Rigalo Sea is much smoother than in winter, and the frequent summer storms in the Möbigas Inland Sea rarely affect the shipping lane. Summer travel is more advantageous than winter in terms of the difficulty of sailing and the overall experience, but our Sage did not choose to wait half a year longer - he was not in a hurry, and this choice was clearly made for his own purposes. The young lady and the young porter did not ask any questions because they did not know the difference between summer and winter sailing, because they did not know how to distinguish between summer and winter sailing.

It wasn't until Captain Francisco mentioned it in the chat that it dawned on them what Henry's choice was for.

The Northern Passage is indeed easier to follow in the summer, and in fact the vast majority of ocean-going sailing ships from Parniera or Suao Marina also depart in the summer. But there was one thing that Captain Francisco mentioned that made people feel very surprised and stunned.

Ships that sail on this route in the summer have a loss rate of up to 4 percent.

Pirates and various other weather conditions accounted for only 10 percent, and the vast majority of the remaining ships that did not return died from food-related causes.

The truth of scurvy, also known as sailor's disease, has been detected in the circle of a small number of sailors. It is associated with certain fresh vegetables and fruits, and can be contracted on ocean voyages when only salted fish and salted meat biscuits are eaten. In less than a week, the teeth will loosen and bleed, and the bones of the whole body will be painful, and if there is no improvement in half a month, it will deteriorate into paralysis or death.

This is also occasionally the case for sailors in the Mobigas Inland Sea. However, there are still many small islands in the calm sea, and it is not difficult to obtain fresh vegetables and fruits through trade in the inland sea, which is full of merchant ships.

In contrast, the route to the East takes more than a month to complete, even in the best weather.

Although in the northernmost part of the North Rigalo Sea, the weather is cool even in summer. But in the more than half a month since the departure from Suao Marina to this side, the sweltering heat was enough to completely rot the fresh fruits and vegetables carried on the ship. As a result, ships sailing out in the summer to avoid the difficulties caused by weather conditions have led to the crew and passengers having to eat shelf-stable foods that lack the necessary nutrients.

Eventually, he became ill and lost his judgment and ability to operate, and the ship was destroyed and sank.

And the cold of winter, under this premise, has become a help. The Oriental Moon has a large clay jar on a wrought-iron shelf for storing fruits and vegetables, and sailors will salvage ice floe from the sea and put it into it as they travel, and it will melt slowly even in the warm cabin in this cold weather. The melted water flows out of the outlet at the bottom of the jar when the wooden cork is removed, and the ice floes melt into fresh water, which not only keeps food frozen and fresh, but also provides fresh water for various daily uses.

Among the large quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables that the chef stockpiles are lemons, which will rot quickly if they are too hot to withstand the heat during the summer trip. But in winter, when kept fresh by freezing, they can last all the way, providing sailors and travelers with the necessary nutrients to avoid getting sick.

Most of the people who choose to travel in the summer are novices, while those who go to sea in the winter are the most experienced captains.

What may seem like a risky move is actually a more prudent choice based on a wealth of knowledge.

It's ironic, but just as mercenaries are often called "adventurers" among the people, the psychological impression of a certain profession by ordinary people often deviates from the truth.

The so-called adventure is not the kind of indifferent heroes in the hearts of the people. In contrast, if you have a lot of contact with them, you will find that these so-called adventure industries are actually very cautious and have a lot of things to pay attention to.

After all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. It is an immutable law in the world that a young man with no enthusiasm will either transform or die early.

Acquiring knowledge through communication and learning, the two young people grew up rapidly.

And this journey, which was not destined to be smooth sailing, is finally beginning to show its terrible side.

The year 1332 in the Rigal calendar, the year 1531 in the Padrosi New Calendar, and the 4th of January in the first year of the United Kingdom Calendar on the West Coast. At a time when the undercurrents of various forces were surging in the far south land, our sage group, who knew nothing about it, encountered unbelievably abnormal weather.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the deep blue waters of the North Rical Sea began to roll one after another.

The cables and sails were blown wildly, and the sea, which had been sunny just half an hour before, was completely covered in dark clouds.

I don't know before and after, I don't know up and down, I don't know the difference between heaven and earth, I don't know where I am.

The darkness shrouded in the surface of the sea shrouded in only a faint glimmer of light, and it looked as if some kind of abyssal beast was about to leap out of the sea and engulf the Eastern Moon in one gulp.

The sailors shouted loudly, and quite a few of the passengers were called out to help. The rain did not fall, the clouds were huge but there were not a single drop of rain in the sky. The sturdy sail was so strong that it almost broke the mast, but Captain Francisco remained calm, and he did not ask for it to be lowered for fear of the mast breaking, for he knew that once lowered, they might never be able to leave the sea again.

Bright yellow lanterns poured out of the cabins in the darkness in a row, and these windproof and rainproof glass lanterns were lit and hung to ensure that people had a grasp of what was going on on deck. But the rough waves make it difficult for them to be fixed in one position, and the light flickers and flickers, echoing the lightning. The water crashed down the bow and poured up to the deck, then poured in through the windows of the lower vents, drenching the sailors below who were running with their fixtures.

The rain-soaked deck caused a running sailor to fall straight to the, and when he got up, he felt his mouth hurt and bleed, and when he looked closely, he found that his front teeth were embedded in the foredeck of the Eastern Moon.

"I'll pay you a gold slot when you go back, now, fix the cable!" Captain Francisco's words A bolt of lightning suddenly swept over the mast of the Eastern Moon, and everything was as bright as day in an instant, and the captain in his cloak and round-brimmed hat and holding his cat Kuro was majestic, and had no intention of giving in to the storm.

He stood firmly on the command platform on the second floor as if there were nails under his boots, the sails full of wind and the huge cables that had collapsed straight were full of tension. But before the crowd had time to admire the heroic gesture for half a second, a sailor in the bow of the ship, who could see clearly ahead by lightning, shouted loudly.

"The Great Wave is coming!!"

These were his last words, and after reminding everyone, he was thrown out by the ship that had rushed to the top of the waves in an instant, and fell into the cold, rough water.

"It's—it's all about—it's tight—" The roar was then drowned out by the crashing of the waves, and the entire ship was tossed and flung around. Henry, Mira, and Caleva were supposed to return to the cabin in this situation, but they were left on the deck where the waves were constantly crashing because they risked being thrown off if they let go.

"One God, the Great God protects us, the One God, the Great God protects us—" The missionary clung to the pillar in the flickering cabin and prayed. "Hey, be careful—" But he forgot to pay attention to his surroundings, and by the time he was reminded, it was too late, and an empty wooden wine barrel shook too violently from the fixed hemp rope and struck the missionary's face.

"Ahem-" His eyes went black, and he let go of the pillar and crashed into the inner wall of the cabin, fainting.

It was dark, and noisy voices came and went.

Amid the sound of thunder and crashing waves, the roar and running of people was so small.

Small, but resolute.

The sailboat was pushed to the apex by the waves, like a tiny crab on a sand dune.

And then it fell again.

The cabin was in shambles, but with an unyielding will, they managed to make it through.

Things are gradually starting to settle down.

When he regained consciousness, the first thing the missionary felt was a warm touch on his face.

This is the feeling that a warm towel makes. Someone was wiping his face, and after a few wipes, the touch was gone, and immediately a chilly sensation was gone, and then he heard the sound of shaking in the basin and wring out the towel.

This was a rare experience during the trip on the Eastern Moon, because of the limited fuel on board, they rarely had the opportunity to wipe their bodies except for heating and cooking, and they had not bathed since their departure.

This made many Imperial passengers accustomed to daily bathing very uncomfortable, but they had to endure it if they were able to endure it.

"Uh-" The missionary opened his eyes, and the lantern fixed high in the cabin had calmed down, casting a steady orange glow. Looking at the man's white hair, his own figure was clearly reflected in those beautiful eyes. He was stunned, because he had been smashed on the head and had just experienced life and death, he was driven by his confused mind and subconsciously blurted out:

"Is it an angel—"

"......" Mira gave him a reluctant look, then stood up to pour the water into the wooden barrel used to clean the deck. On the other side, Captain Franciscos, who happened to walk into the cabin, touched the head of the kitten Kuro and glanced at the girl Luoan: "Angel, maybe it's really true." ”

The reappeared light illuminated the hull, and the storm-weathered Eastern Moon added a lot of scars, but nothing truly fatal. Her tenacious construction and materials, combined with years of meticulous maintenance, combined with a crew who know how to make the most of these advantages, avoid any accidents.

After paying the price of the death of one crew member and the wounding of two passengers and three sailors, she finally survived the appearance of the rainbow.

There was still lightning and thunder in the sea behind them, but they had already crossed the coldest areas.

Ice floes on the sea are getting smaller and smaller in size.

The orange setting sun set from the rear of the ship, and the light cast through the frosted glass windows into the dimly lit interior of the cabin.

The Loan Maiden, the Sage, and the young porter, as well as many others on board, all turned their heads to look over there.

Western.

Already far behind.
