Chapter 143 Dinner on board

Walking into the dark cabin, Rhodes subconsciously covered his nose. The smell in the cabin was really unpleasant. The air was filled with the musty smell of wood, the smell of drunken vomit, and the smell of sweat and feet.

Rhodes now feels that although Quentin's ship looks dilapidated on the outside, the interior of the cabin is much better than this ship, imagining the days of living on the ship will be a disaster.

Walking into the room where we eat on the boat, the room is very small and full of people.

Rhodes stood at the door and saw the tall Baron sitting inside, and squeezed in his direction.

Seeing Rhodes walk in, Baron moved his body, leaving a place on the bench that was almost big enough for Rhodes to sit down.

"Leave quickly after eating, I really can't stand this place," Baron said.

"Where's the food?" Rhodes asked curiously, there was nothing on the table.

"Don't worry, you came just in time." A man dressed as a chef placed a bowl in front of Rhodes and Baron, and then he picked up a large spoon and scooped a little from the bucket on the cart next to him. Spooned into Baron's bowl, and then another spoonful into Rhodes' bowl.

Rhode stared at the bowl with wide eyes, trying to see what was inside.

It looked like a bowl of porridge, yellow mixed with black, and it was overcooked, and the smell made him a little dizzy.

"What is this?" Rhode couldn't help asking.

Baron also stared at it for a long time, and replied, "It seems to be porridge made by mixing rye and wheat, and the bran on it has not been removed."

Rhodes suddenly lost his appetite. No matter how badly he ate before, it would be much better than this. Even if he was asked to eat hard black bread, he would not accept it.

But this bowl of porridge seems not to have removed the bran, but to cook it entirely with bran.

Baron tried to pick up the spoon and put a little in his mouth, his expression changed instantly, as if he was trying not to spit it out, and finally he swallowed it with difficulty.

"I don't know what kind of messy things are added in it, it looks like fish scales of very fishy salted fish." Baron said with a sad face.

Rhodes looked at the sailors beside him as if they were still eating deliciously.

"What do you think of the taste?" Rhode tentatively asked the sailor next to him, pointing to the bowl in front of him.

"Very good, and fish. I can't eat such good things at home." The sailor replied while eating.

"Then what do you usually eat at home?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"The food at home is similar to this, but I don't want to add fish." He also ate the fish eyes in the bowl.

"Are you from the Roman Empire?" Rhodes asked again.

The sailor nodded.

Rhodes remembered that there were people from other countries on board, and he wanted to find a Nord to see if they could accept this kind of food.

He stood up, walked around the room, and found that everyone else ate deliciously, and he didn't try it himself. It was Baron who tested the poison. After thinking about it, it might be Baron's problem.

He returned to his previous position, and Baron was still staring at the bowl in a daze.

"I see that other people eat very deliciously." Rhodes said.

"You can try it yourself if you don't believe me." Baron was too lazy to argue with Rhodes.

Rhodes bite the bullet and picked up a spoon to scoop a little. A strange, salty smell came from his tongue, with a bitter taste, and the floating liquid in the porridge was still hurting his mouth.If Rhodes were to describe this taste, it would be like eating the scales of a pickled fish that had just been taken out of the tank and hadn't dried yet.

"How is it?" Baron looked at Rhode's expression and held back his smile.

Rhodes didn't have as much endurance as Baron, so he found a place to vomit it all up, and now he just wanted to rinse his mouth.

He couldn't figure out why the sailors on the ship ate such an unpalatable food. Could it be that they were so hungry that they could eat anything?
Rhodes suddenly remembered that after knowing that the captain of the ship was from the Roman Empire, before they set off, Michelle asked him to cook a lot of food. He thought Michelle didn't want to leave the room like last time, but now Presumably she had expected all of this a long time ago.

"Where's Hamer?" Rhodes hasn't seen Hamer since he entered the cabin.

"He felt a little uncomfortable smelling the smell of the boat, and then he became seasick. I was going to help him bring some bread, but there was no bread here," Baron replied.

"Let's go to the captain of this ship to buy some food, and then borrow the kitchen on the ship to cook for ourselves. We can't go without eating for the next few days." Rhodes thought for a while and said.

"I'll go with you." Baron nodded.

The two of them found the captain of the ship. At first, the captain of the ship was unwilling to sell them two grains.

Afterwards, Rhodes also talked to him for a long time. It is better to sell it to them at the same price after transporting it to River Valley City, and the money earned is still the same.

Rhodes wasted a lot of saliva but did not change the captain's mind. In the end, Baron took off his shirt and showed him what muscles are before the captain agreed.

The wheat, rice and other grains transported on the ship were not hulled. The captain thought that the transportation would not be easy to perish.

However, Rhodes found potatoes in it. After careful selection, he bought a box and planned to use potatoes as his staple food in the next few days.

He didn't even want potatoes with green skins. Potatoes that germinated were poisonous, and eating them might kill someone.However, it is said that even if it does not germinate, it has a certain degree of toxicity, but high-temperature cooking can decompose the toxic substances.

The plants on the earth also exist in this world, and there are many more plants than the earth that can be used as alchemy materials or magic materials.

In addition, Rhodes also bought some oil and some eggs, probably because he was afraid that the food would spoil, and there was no meat on board.

Rhodes went back to the room first, and took out the pepper and cumin powder he had bought in Gulfstream City.

The prices of these things on the earth are not cheap. It costs nearly a hundred yuan a catty to buy them in supermarkets, and it is even more expensive in this world. Rhodes didn't buy much, but he can still survive these few days.

Rhodes then made egg potato pancakes, cumin potato chips, and black pepper mashed potatoes in the ship's galley.

He made preparations before cooking, and asked Baron to stand guard at the kitchen door. When he was halfway through cooking, the aroma attracted half a boat full of people. Baron almost didn't stop them. Being able to lock the door, those sailors still had some self-knowledge and left here.

Although Rhodes also wanted to share, but there are too many people, even if everyone eats only one bite, it is not enough, it is better to eat alone with Baron.

In the end, the two of them rushed to Hammer's room when there was no one at the kitchen door, and called Michel to eat the dinner made by Rhodes together...
