Reborn As a Pirate

　　【C.E.1776, April 28, breeze, four sessions】

　　 [East longitude: 356.6, north latitude: 57.7, Blackport, Elkin, Scotland]

　　【Specialties: Whiskey, Woolen, Beef】

　　 [Today is a special day for the new Drake Chamber of Commerce]

　　【We have the first permanent port, Port Elgin in Scotland】

　　 [Only in the official documents of Mr. Piddick, it is called Ergen Port]

　　 [Regardless of her name, we have opened up the market, so that this small chamber of commerce with a total of three people, a standard Kirk type and more than four hundred pounds of capital, has officially stepped onto the track of development]

　　 [The exquisite porcelain of the mysterious East is indispensable]

　　【Missing the East】

　　 [When can I go back and have a look? 】

　　 [It’s 1776, it’s okay to listen to people shouting, it’s just a money rattail, it’s too ugly...]

　　 [Going back and forth, it’s time for the Chamber of Commerce to consider the next development direction]

　　 [Triangular trade is a good model for offshore trade]

　　 [Take Alkin as the fulcrum, the other two corners, which one should I choose? 】

　　 With the dim yellow oil lamp, Lorraine carefully wrote his voyage diary on the swaying waves.

　　 Sailing diary is the basic homework for every captain of a sea-going ship.

　　 When they were at sea, they recorded the wind direction and ocean currents. When in the port, they recorded the latitude, longitude, and specialty products.

　　 Of course, daily experience and thinking are indispensable.

　　Because of the existence of this important information, no matter what era, the nautical diary is the most precious privacy and wealth of a captain, and its value is more than that of the chart for their own use.

　　 The captains also protect the contents of the diaries most closely.

　　 In addition to carrying them with them and keeping them secretly, they often use secret words in key information when writing diaries.

　　Lorraine’s secret language is pinyin, and the pinyin of swashes is mixed with English in the same font. At least in contemporary times, there is no possibility of his diary being deciphered.

　　 After writing the diary, Lorraine closed the book and put it into the secret cabinet of the captain's room. On the bed, he shook away the charts of the North Sea and the Cantabrian waters, stunned compared to the list of lots sent before nightfall.

　　 This is the privilege of the VIPs of the auction. They can know the details of the sale two days in advance and decide whether to attend or not.

　　 Lorraine therefore had a chance to become familiar with the rules of the auction.

　　 Elgin’s auction will be divided into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Special goods will be auctioned in the morning and bulk goods will be auctioned in the afternoon. The auction will last two days.

　　Lorraine's spices and pewterware are also on this list.

　　 Four hundred and seventy catties of spices were auctioned for nine times in units of 50 catties. In the afternoon, 14 pieces of tin ware were auctioned separately and in the morning.

　　 According to Lorraine’s own estimation, these goods can probably bring him a profit of between two hundred and thirty to two hundred and seventy pounds after tax. From the perspective of no business, this amount is not high.

　　 He is struggling whether to clear out his stock of porcelain and sell it.

　　 I am depressed.

　　 There are not many porcelains in the hands of Barry. There are only seven sets in total, but each one is actually an advanced tea set.

　　 Three sets of cloisonne, two sets of bucket color porcelain, and two sets of blue and white porcelain. Tea sets of this level of craftsmanship can naturally be sold, and they can easily be sold at a high price of more than two hundred pounds.

　　 But judging from Mr. Piddick's reaction, these things are obviously better for gifts. They are used to exchange for gold pounds, which is really a violent thing. The cow chews the peony.

　　 Korolin is short of money again.

　　 To open an exchange, to buy ships, to recruit sailors, to realize the benign import and export of goods, and to reserve enough funds for the operation of the Chamber of Commerce to form a capital chain...

　　 He scratched his hair irritably: "Damn it, you will be poor if you are poor. It's a big deal to stay at the auction house for a few more months! Before opening the eastern route, use one of this kind of good stuff, one less!"

　　 "Why do you use one piece less?" Hina interjected in unknownly.

　　 Lorraine raised her head and saw that she was wrapped in a gown like she did during the day, but in the dead of night, she took off her veil, and arrogantly showed a delicate face. Against the backdrop of the moonlight, her jade-like eyes were shining.

　　 Lorraine smiled and shook his head: "It's time to change the guard?"

　　 "Yes." Henna nodded, "Pierce is still young, his post is one hour, and then you."

"I won't abuse him." Lorraine beckoned to call Hina in. "The auction will be in two days. Elkin's specialty is whiskey. I'm going to fill up the cabin, in the snow and ice of Scandinavia. No worries about selling spirits."

　　 "Selling liquor?" Henna tilted her head, "Do you have a Norwegian port route?"

　　 "No. So in the first auction, we have to take the chart first. With it, we have the next anchor point..."

　　...

　　 Two days are fleeting.

　　 On April 30th, the black market auction in Port Elgin was held as scheduled in the small theater at No. 42 Fanhua Street.

　　 A horse-drawn carriage gathered like fish, and hundreds of businessmen were in groups.

　　 Today Lorraine put on a decent tuxedo, a wig, a top hat, a black umbrella that was folded in his hand, and shiny pointed leather shoes under his feet.

　　 He jumped out of the carriage outside the theater and turned around, showing the back of his hand like a real gentleman.

　　 Henna was taken aback.

　　 She is wearing a light black gauze gown today, covering her hair and her pretty face.

　　 Appropriate folds of yarn give the gown a layer of shades, which not only can cleverly hide the peculiar jersey in the gown, but also make the graceful posture looming and fascinating. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 Her big eyes hidden behind the veil flickered and stared at Lorraine, until she saw Lorraine's smiling and encouraging gaze, then she poked out her brown plain hands from under the gown and gently put them on the back of Lorraine's hands.

　　 Such a wonderful scene naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

　　 A strange young English gentleman, holding a young, light brown African woman...

　　 Seeing her skin color seems to be Egyptian, is it a mixed-race descendant of Carthage or Macedonian, a distinguished royal family member?

　　 They held their breath and watched Lorraine holding Henna and approaching the Pidic couple.

　　 Mrs. Piddik covered the feather fan and stretched out the back of her hand to Lorraine. Lorraine nodded to greet the lady. His slender fingers hooked the lady's fingertips to her lips and made a kiss about a centimeter apart.

　　Henna's big eyes began to flicker again, entangled whether to follow the lady's appearance, and handed her hand to the half-hundred old man opposite.

　　 She is not willing to...

　　 Lorraine saw her entanglement, and turned her head to Zhuangruo intimately, and whispered: "It's just a compliment. The girl doesn't need to kiss her."

　　 Henna breathed a sigh of relief, and gave a small salute to Mr. Piddick.

　　Mr. Piddick laughed heartily: "Mr. Drake, every time I meet, you always surprise me. Who is next to you?"

　　 "Henna, Henna Jesra, she is the watchman on the ship, my most trusted partner."

　　 "Lang Cai, female appearance!" Mr. Piddick praised, "Your box is on the 7th, next to me. I sincerely hope that you have found your favorite goal."

　　 "I did find it." Lorraine gestured to Mr. Piddick, "I just hope that the competition will not be too fierce for a while. If the asking price is too high, it would be a shame."
