Great Zhou Empress
Chapter 74 The Pirate Indus
Zhao Wutong is considered to be a family of pirates. In fact, this kind of statement is also very strange. There is no genealogy in their family, so it is impossible to tell what the ancestors who were more distant did.She also heard from her father that her grandfather was a pirate, and her father was also a pirate. In her generation, she was still a pirate, so she became a family of pirates.
She actually has an older brother, but in the survival of the fittest pirate life, her elder brother was weak and died of illness when she was very young. On the contrary, she is a girl with a very strong body, so her father taught her Kung Fu very seriously. When I was young, I took her to wander and run on the sea, and the sea was her whole world.
She doesn't remember who her mother is, her father only said that she died early, but in order to take care of her young, her father would always snatch some women from the coastal villages to take care of her on the boat, and would give her back when she was younger. Breastfeeding, her father asked her to call those women "Mom".She has seen almost twelve "mothers" since she was about ten years old.
Although she is from a family of pirates, Zhao Wutong has a pure nature. She has a good relationship with each of her "mothers". The kindness in women's nature also makes them treat Zhao Wutong very well.Therefore, Zhao Wutong knew that they actually had their own families and children in the village.The young Zhao Wutong felt sorry for them being separated from the children, as if she had no mother since she was a child but always missed the imaginary mother, so she deliberately said that she hated them after a period of time, and let her father call these "mothers" sent back to their village.
That year, her father encountered a huge storm and never came back, so she took over her father's entire fleet and subordinates. The pirate group is also a small empire, with all kinds of people, and she is also quite cunning. After cleaning up a few dissatisfied ones at the beginning, he led his subordinates to deal with the big ones. At the same time, the bolder ones opened up new routes and expanded the fleet's commercial territory again, and only then did they secure their position.
As she herself said to Xue Zhijing before, she is both a pirate and a businessman.
In this era, although there are ocean-going ships that can ride the wind and waves, with a maximum capacity of 1000 people, compass that can indicate the direction, and rich nautical charts left by the predecessors, the sea is still the most mysterious and terrifying place.
You never know whether the wind and waves will meet unexpectedly, whether your boat will be broken or capsized when this wave hits you, and you don’t even know whether you will encounter rocks or land that cannot communicate. people.
There are too many risks, so merchants who do ocean trade are often not just ordinary merchants, but more like a tight group, like a gang.They have to be more adventurous, ruthless, and decisive than businessmen on land in order to do such a high-risk thing well.
In addition, although the Shibo Department of the Dacheng Dynasty collected one-tenth of the tax on the surface, it often received half of the tax when encountering some luxury goods. The amount of tax often tortured the sea merchants terribly.
Naturally, a large number of smuggling businesses were born.
At sea, the law of the jungle, such as big fish eating small fish and small fish eating dried shrimps, is also very obvious.
And Zhao Wutong's fleet does this kind of thing. She has several ships, specializing in the trade line between Nanyang and Dacheng. Except for the bottom line of not killing people easily, she has no taboos about other things.
For example, Xue Zhijing was sold to the Liao Kingdom in exchange for ironware.
She looks pure and pure, and she looks like a very good woman at first glance. Those who don't know her can't tell that she is a pirate. As she gets older, she learns to be mischievous and black-bellied from the pirates. Few people have thought of pursuing her, but because they grew up among them, Zhao Wutong wants to like fragrant and soft girls more.
Besides being a pirate leader, she also has another hobby, which is "food".
In her memory, only when "mother" is around, can there be delicious food. At other times, she can't get enough food satisfaction, so in her heart, food not only represents the desire of appetite, but also represents the A yearning for intimacy.
She often stays for a few days when docking, looking for some delicious food locally, and if she sees a chef she likes, she "invites" them to her fleet, or kidnaps them to her fleet.However, few chefs can stand their life on the sea. They either vomit heavily, or their cooking skills are greatly reduced. Of course, there are some weird ones. They seem to like their pirate life. They want to change their careers to become pirates instead of chefs. , This makes Zhao Wutong so angry.
So the game that Zhao Wutong told Xue Zhijing was, "You cook me some delicious food from your palace. If I am satisfied, I will let you go. If I am not satisfied, don't even think about going down, just stay on the boat." Be me Mrs. Yazhai."
Suppress your uncle!
Xue Zhijing cursed again in his heart.
Poor Xue Zhijing, who is so gentle and refined in his daily life, met such a hooligan as Zhao Wutong, and his temper exploded.
Well, there's no other way, Xue Zhijing can only agree to Zhao Wutong's game request because he can't help himself now.
For some reason, Xue Zhijing saw a hint of surprise in Zhao Wutong's eyes.
Surprise?
Zhao Wutong excitedly took her to see the food ingredients on board.
In the boathouse, in addition to storing fresh water, there are also a bunch of chickens. They are all kept in wooden boxes, noisy and full of animal smells. There are even two sheep in the boathouse. With a cow, Zhao Wutong said it could drink milk, and a pig also raised a cow.Those who didn't know thought her boat was for selling livestock.
Xue Zhijing suddenly wondered, if she said she wanted to make roast lamb for her, would the pirate leader kill one of the sheep.
It's a pity that her technique of roasting mutton is not very good, it would be great if Xiao Liege was around, her technique is a must.
Xue Zhijing's heart skipped a beat, why did he suddenly think of Xiao Liege again?
Hey ~
In addition, there are some dried meat, bacon, salted duck eggs, pickles and dried vegetables.There are also quite a lot of fruits, but they are all dried fruits, such as plums, betel nuts, olives, dates, grapes, lychees and so on.
There are so many types of fruit, they enjoy it even more than the royal family of the Liao Kingdom. They really are people who go to sea, and the more places they go, the more supplies they can get.
"Well, have you thought about what to do?"
Zhao Wutong excitedly asked Xue Zhijing, Xue Zhijing suddenly saw the fishing net on the deck, and said, "Can you get some fish from the net? Let me grill the fish for you."
Grilled fish?
When it comes to food, Zhao Wutong will not be stingy, Xue Zhijing mentioned it, and she immediately called the sailors to drop anchor, and then let the boat go to catch fish.
When sailing at sea, fish is often eaten, and even everyone doesn’t like fish very much, so they often like to raise some animals on land. There are some marinated meats in the cabins on the bottom floor to meet the needs of different tastes.
When the sailors went fishing, Xue Zhijing went back to the cabin where she woke up before, and took the treasure pouch from her waist.
The bag of treasures is made of sheepskin. The outside is wet with water, but the inside is not wet. The small bottle of seasoning inside is even tighter. When the sealed stopper is opened, it still smells of fresh spices.
OK, just rely on it.
"Give me back my dagger, I want to use it!" Xue Zhijing said to Zhao Wutong.
Zhao Wutong took out one of the daggers hanging around his waist, turned his hand and handed it back to Xue Zhijing, Xue Zhijing frowned slightly, isn't it this?
But when she took a closer look, the word "Strong" was clearly written on the dagger.
"Is this the last time you snatched it from me?"
Zhao Wutong looked at her jokingly, and said with a smile, "Steal? This is my trophy. I will lend it to you first. If I am satisfied with what you made, I will consider whether to give this trophy to you. "
Xue Zhijing gave her a bitter look, "What about my current dagger?"
"I didn't see it when I rescued you, maybe it fell into the sea."
It is also possible that she fought with the previous sailors with a dagger at that time, and then jumped into the sea directly, and the possibility of falling into the water is very high.
Looking at the dagger engraved with the word "Strong" in his hand, Xue Zhijing felt that this time he really had to win it back.
This was the first gift Xiao Liege gave her, so it must be kept as a souvenir.
Over there, Zhao Wutong's men caught a net of fish and threw them on the deck.
They are all sea fish, and they are quite strong. They are alive and kicking on the deck, and some of them have golden scales that look like they are wearing a layer of armor.
There were some fish that Xue Zhijing didn't know, so she didn't dare to deal with them lightly, so she picked two yellow croakers that she was familiar with.
The meat of this fish is tender and delicious.
Xue Zhijing went to the kitchen with the fish.
The kitchen on the ship was treated, the whole kitchen was covered with fireproof mud, there were two stoves against the wall, and there were various cooking tools on them, Xue Zhijing searched for a long time, only found a small iron frying pan, It seems that they rarely cook.
I searched on the stove, but only found a small crock pot of white lard and a small pot of sesame oil.
It seems that because of the high cost of cooking, the amount of oil used alone cannot bear it.
In order to save space, charcoal is burned inside the stove.
For two fish, Xue Zhijing considers one to be braised in soy sauce and the other to be grilled.
Braised in brown sauce is her best method. After all, she has been studying abroad for many years, and her cooking skills have been forced out.The counting of roasting was learned from Xiao Liege, and I feel pretty good about myself.
Xue Zhijing was very skillful at removing scales, gills, dissecting fish and taking internal organs. Zhao Wutong leaned his head over and praised her skillful technique.
"I said, your hands are beautiful. Let me tell you, I know a female chef in Jiankang City, and her skills are also very beautiful. Her best skill is a dish of braised pork. The pieces of meat are square and square, and each piece They all look exactly the same size, it’s amazing.”
Xue Zhijing tilted his head and looked at her a little strangely.
The pirate leader Zhao Wutong, with the face of a woman from a good family, opened eyes that hadn’t eaten delicious food in 800 years, and watched her drooling as she cut the fish. This feeling really makes people feel goosebumps pimple.
Xue Zhijing ignored her, finished the follow-up work, and then the husband grilled the fish.
The fish is threaded from tail to head with iron sticks, placed on the empty stove, and a charcoal fire is lit underneath to let it roast slowly.
Carefully open the seasoning in the treasure bag, sprinkle it on top according to the steps, and then spread some oil on it, and soon, the initial fragrance will come out.
This Zhao Wutong will not leave here.
She said with a shy face, "Oh, don't make it too delicious, I still want you to be my wife."
Squeeze you big head ghost!
Xue Zhijing, who knew her gleeful nature, didn't believe her words at all.
She actually has an older brother, but in the survival of the fittest pirate life, her elder brother was weak and died of illness when she was very young. On the contrary, she is a girl with a very strong body, so her father taught her Kung Fu very seriously. When I was young, I took her to wander and run on the sea, and the sea was her whole world.
