Reborn As a Pirate

Chapter 21: The apprentice of a misnomer

   "The raw material is... marinated grilled chicken breast."

   "Toast, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, cream, strawberries...and bread and carrots."

   "How to... Cut off the grilled sides of the toast, spread the butter, and put it on the bottom... Put lettuce and tomatoes, put the bread... The chicken breast and bacon should be stacked together, and then another slice of toast."

   "Along the diagonal...cut!"

   "Finally paste strawberries, sprinkle shredded radish, and insert thin wooden strips... The perfect Grandma Rowling's secret Royal Club sandwich, done!"

   In the kitchen of the Attis Beauty, little Pierce carefully packed the legacy recipes left to him by Grandma Rowling, put the sandwiches on the plate, picked it up, and opened the hatch.

   Today is a sunny day, with gentle sea breeze and gentle waves.

   Lorraine was lying on the deck, doing mapping operations against the huge sea charts that were all around him.

   Pierce walked up with a sandwich, and asked curiously, "Mr. Captain, isn't Hooker's chart ready? Why do you want to redraw it?"

"Because of precision." Lorraine added a smooth curve to the map, put down his pen, and looked at Pierce. "Hooker's chart provides us with 24 locations of black ports, covering Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, and Prussia. , Britain, France and Spain, great value for money."

"But this set of pictures should be inherited or snatched. Because there are different handwritings on the label, and the base map is very old. Judging from the coastline and the signature, I guess it is probably the civil map of the Dutch Maritime Administration in the early 16th century. draft."

   "You can even see this?" Pierce's eyes widened.

Lorraine smiled and took the dinner plate: "In order to get familiar with the evolution of the coastline, I personally drew a total of 17 versions of military strait maps from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Hooker's set also contains strait maps, so it can be roughly compared. ."

"Wow……"

   Leave it alone on the map and try to find a different Pierce, Lorraine put down the dinner plate, pinched a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth.

  The taste of the sandwich is superb.

   Lettuce and tomato neutralize the greasiness, highlighting the saltiness of chicken and bacon. The fresh cream and the toast are radiant and smooth, making the taste changeable and having a long aftertaste.

   Lorraine chewed a few bites and praised: "Little Pierce, is Grandma Rowling's secret recipe again?"

   "That's right." Pierce didn't look up. "Sir, what's the difference between the pictures?"

   "The most obvious change is Dunkirk, in the Strait of Calais." Lorraine ate three large pieces and rubbed his stomach. "Did you send it to Henna?"

   "Ms. Yesra is practicing throwing knives. I put it in her cabin."

   Lorraine nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly his expression changed: "Wait, Bacon!"

   Pierce stood up with a chuckle: "God! I'll come as soon as I go!"

   Watching little Pierce's embarrassed figure rushing into the stern compartment, Lorraine chewed on the sandwich, except for a bitter smile, only a bitter smile.

   Three days after the auction ended, the visit to Sir Fermi achieved good results. Karen Scott has not yet come to install the harpoon.

  Pidick asked Ramos to send news that Karen was working on resignation procedures at Bell Dockyard. In other words, although the two have not yet met, the Pictik family has solved the biggest obstacle for Kren to board the ship for Lorraine.

  There are also auction results...

In order to purchase these three items, Lorraine paid a total of 615 pounds, 18 shillings and 10 pence, which is almost 616 pounds.

  The after-tax income of tin ware and spices is only 281 pounds.

   In order to relieve the financial pressure of the business group, after careful consideration, Lorraine had to temporarily add a set of Doucai porcelain tea sets in the auction the next day.

   This operation did not conform to the normal procedures of the auction, but considering the porcelain provided by Lorraine, Ramos ran to all nine auction VIPs except Lorraine overnight, and obtained unanimous understanding and recognition.

The    tea set was thus on the stage of the auction, and in the morning of the next day, the bidding was no less than that of the Meritus, and it was finally sold for 323 pounds after tax.

   The money became Lorraine's life-saving straw.

With money in his hands again, he made all-out efforts in the afternoon and won three bids one after another at an average price of 1.5 pounds per barrel. He bought a total of 150 barrels of third-class whiskey, refilling the bottom of the Attis Beauty. cabin.

   After the whole round of transactions, he still has close to 160 pounds in cash. In most cases, this amount is enough to deal with the problems that merchant ships will face.

   The destination of the next stop to Northern Europe is also confirmed.

   In the Boken Fjord of the Kingdom of Norway, there is an unnamed black port near Stavanger, the fourth largest city. Hook also named it Stavanger.

   It was a black port for Vikings, and Lorraine was full of expectations for the next meeting with his compatriots.

   In this way, everything is ready, and his task in Elgin is only to recruit Karen...

   Lorraine took a deep breath and picked up the protractor again. The latitude and longitude of a new port hadn't been calculated yet, and Ramos's shout suddenly came from under the ship.

   "Lorraine!"

   After all, they are young people, and both sides have also served together in the Royal Navy. After a few days of getting along, Lorraine and Ramos have established a friendship that is enough to call them by name.

   Ramos shouted under the boat: "Put down the boat board, look who I brought here!"

   Lorraine looked up suspiciously, and saw a tall and sturdy white-haired young man standing beside Ramos.

   This man has a very tall nose, pale complexion, a pair of amber eyes in the deep eye sockets, thick brows and sword eyes.

He is wearing a beige half-sleeved shirt and brown cotton trousers, and a huge half-person-height hammer is tied to his back~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He is carrying a large wooden box in his hand, and the wooden box is stained with oil. But it gives people a strange feeling of cleanliness and tidiness.

   And he is very tall.

   Ramos and Lorraine are similar in height, he is already over 180 centimeters tall, but he is a bit shorter beside him.

   Looking at his sturdy arms, Lorraine suddenly jumped out a name, Karen Scott.

  The boatman apprentice whose name doesn’t fit the truth, are you finally here?

   Lorraine quickly put down the boat board.

   The young man and Ramos boarded the ship in stride, and soon stood opposite Lorraine.

   Ramos smiled and introduced: "Lorraine, this is..."

   "Viking?" Lorraine interrupted Ramos and asked with his head up.

   The youth grinned: "German, but my homeland is the Kingdom of Finland."

   "No wonder...As far as I know, neither Prussia nor the Holy Roman Empire can be as tall as you." Lorraine reached out and squeezed the young man's cast iron arm, "and strong."

   The young man bulged his biceps like a mountain bag in front of Lorraine: "No way, the boatman was originally working hard, not to mention I'm an excellent sailsman."

   "How good is it?"

"second to none."

   Lorraine laughed and shook his head, and stretched out his hand to the youth: "Lorraine, Lorraine Anason Drake."

   "Karen Scott, a boatman apprentice no one wants." Karen stared arrogantly into Lorraine's eyes, "Captain, is there a shortage of people on your boat?"

   "If you are talking about a master craftsman-level boatman and an unparalleled sailing hand, it's missing."

   There was a snap, and the two big hands were firmly held together.

   Lorraine smiled and said, "Mr. Scott, congratulations, you have been accepted."
