Source of "Taoist Priest, Times Have Changed":

After the wave boat came back, it was time for them to travel.

It happened that there was also a fleet from Changbo Island going to Ryukyu today. The Changzhou brothers said that they were going the same way so that they could travel together.

Nowadays, the land of China is full of wars, warlords are dividing the country, bandits and robbers are emerging in endlessly, and public security is very poor.

The situation at sea is even worse than on land, and there are countless pirates.

Changzhou said that the official navies of neighboring countries had turned into pirates and took the opportunity to rob merchant ships.

The mainland was not to be outdone. The former navy also turned into pirates. They escorted their own merchant ships while plundering the merchant ships of other countries. They were all very clever at it.

Therefore, it is still necessary to form a fleet to be reliable when sailing on the sea.

This fleet is very reliable. There are seventeen ships in total, including three Guangfu ships.

The largest of the three Fuchuan is also a retired warship of the former Navy. Its scale is several times larger than the wave-rider.

There are many buildings on it, including the head gate, the ceremonial gate, the official hall, the entrance hall, the back hall, the treasury, side rooms, and study rooms. This arrangement is just like that of a mansion on land.

The other two Fu Ships are smaller but not much smaller. They are directly warships. The whole ship is divided into four floors. The lower floor is equipped with earth and rock ballast. The second floor houses soldiers. The third floor is the main operating place. The upper floor is the battle site. Cloud

Song saw a machine gun mounted above and a naval gun fixed on top!

At close range, there are also weapons such as bows and arrows and repeating crossbows. In this way, whenever pirates are encountered, the two warships will tower over them and fire their bows, arrows and artillery. Yun Song feels that they are invincible at sea.

Changzhou applied to join the fleet, but was rejected by the captain, the head of the fleet.

This was not beyond Yunsong's expectations.

There is no way the fleet would be willing to accept the Wave Treader. After all, the Wave Treader is a ghost ship.

But it's also easy to convince the fleet.

Yun Song asked Changzhou to pass two sentences to the helmsman of the fleet:

"First, the fleet now has seventeen ships. The number seventeen is neither yin nor yang, so it is not a good number. If you add the wave-rider, it will be eighteen ships. The number eighteen is very auspicious."

"Second, the wave rider is fast, and the fleet will definitely not be able to get rid of it. Even if the fleet refuses to accept them, they will drive the wave rider and hang it behind. If the wave rider makes any movements, the ship will

The team won’t be able to find it.”

These two words struck a chord with the giant python in the fleet, and the helmsman of the fleet had no choice but to let them join.

Taking advantage of the good weather, they set sail.

Because they have to travel across the ocean, most of the fleets are large ships, so the ships are quite far apart during the voyage. They just need to ensure that they are in the same fleet and cannot communicate with each other.

The Wave Treader is driven by ghosts, so its speed is naturally faster.

So inadvertently, the wave rider sailed to the front of the fleet.

At this time, the crew of the flagship Super Fortune ship was waving flags. Hu Jinzi raised his monocular to look at it and said:

"They said we were driving too fast and asked us to slow down and that they would not follow our route."

Changzhou took a sip of wine and said: "It's normal. The helmsman of this fleet is called Gu Yunsan. He is a scout and suspicious by nature. He will never follow our route because he doesn't know that we will give them to them."

Take it somewhere."

Yunsong could understand Gu Yunsan's worries, so he pulled up the sail against the wind to slow down the wave-riding boat.

He asked Changzhou: "Is Gu Yunsan a magician? So powerful? Can they really find pearls from under the dragon's chin?"

The two Danmin brothers laughed, and the eldest brother Changzhou said: "How is this possible? That is a dragon. Retrieving the dragon beads alive is something that can only be done by the gods in the sky. Let alone the detectives to retrieve the dragon beads, they went to get close to Longdu.

Can’t get closer!”

Ci Tong said: "Yes, the Detectives are actually exaggerating. Their greatest ability is to extract venom and fangs from the mouths of sea snakes. They can actually extract the fangs from the mouths of live snakes. You must know that the fangs of live snakes are very valuable, so they can

I rely on this skill to make a living."

Fuchuan are large and slow, and their advantage lies in their stability, so they are mostly used to transport fragile goods such as ceramics, or as passenger ships.

However, now passenger ships made of giant steel ships from the West have been introduced to China, so the Fuchuan passenger ship has been gradually eliminated.

They drifted on the sea for a whole day, and then they didn't drive very far.

The weather was pretty good during the day, but the situation changed drastically at night.

The weather suddenly became gloomy and the clouds closed over the moon.

The Dan people were indeed good at sea navigation. The two brothers sniffed and stretched out their hands to scratch in the air for a while. Then they looked at each other and shook their heads: "There will be no rain tonight."

Now that night has fallen, they have to make a fire and make food.

They caught some fish and shrimp in the afternoon, so they had seafood for dinner.

The Danmin brothers were masters of this art, and they took the initiative to take care of the dinner.

The Dan people live at sea all year round and therefore eat a lot of seafood. They eat almost three meals a day without seafood.

They pay attention to the natural taste and original flavor, and do not like to add strong seasonings such as chili, cumin, Sichuan peppercorns, pepper, and star anise to their meals. At most, they add some minced garlic and chopped green onion for seasoning.

However, in order to cater to the tastes of Yunsong and others, they made a Danjia special dish called salted fish pot.

The two of them brought a lot of things with them when they boarded the boat, including pieces of salted fish.

There was fatty pork on the ship. They cooked the salted fish and fatty pork together. First, they cooked the soup over high fire and then simmered it over low fire. One dish took an hour to cook.

After stewing for a long time, the salt of the salted fish penetrates into the fat, and the oil in the fat revives the suppressed delicious aroma of the salted fish.

The two ingredients complement each other perfectly and are indeed very suitable for the sea environment.

After the dish came out of the pot, they did not rush to eat it, but first offered sacrifices to the gods.

Dan people mostly believe in Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of the South China Sea. Whenever they go to the sea, they must offer incense and offerings to Avalokitesvara before eating.

Yunsong felt quite ashamed when he saw it. He was not as pious to his Taoist ancestors as his brother Danmin was to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

So he snatched away the salted fish pot and gave it to Taozu to taste first, and then recited an article from "The Sutra of Taishang's Willing to Eat":

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Naturally cooked food, I am here to bless you. One grain spreads in the ten directions, and the river sands are like dust. Hunger and thirst are forever eliminated, and the feast of food is in the Yaochi."

The merits of today's general and the ghost are incredible..."

"Fusheng Supreme Heavenly Lord, Taoist ancestor, please eat first and start eating."

Dinner is also being had on other ships now.

To make a living at sea, you have to eat seriously.

There is no way, sailing on the sea is hard work, very demanding on physical strength, and the sea water everywhere you look is very boring. As the saying goes, "the smoke of the world is the most soothing to the mortal heart", the crew members need a meal both physically and mentally.

gourmet food.

Suddenly the sea breeze picked up, carrying all kinds of aromas.

At this time, the helmsman ordered that each ship anchored and they would temporarily dock here tonight.

It is difficult to sail at night on the sea, and it is easy to get lost.

Changzhou looked around and nodded: "Gu Yunsan, the great helmsman, is well-deserved. The place he chose is a good place to anchor. There is no higher ground on the seabed in the surrounding sea area than here within at least ten miles."

The big ship anchored and the small boat was lowered.

At this time, the fleet became lively, and everyone took a small boat to socialize like a gangster. You bring a bottle of wine, I bring a pound of meat, and then everyone eats and brags together.

Usually when the ship goes to sea, the crew members are trapped on their own ships as if they are in prison. Dinner after anchoring is the only chance for sailors to get out of prison, so they are very enthusiastic to make friends.

But no one got on the wave boat.

Yun Song and others didn't care, they stewed rice in the pot, and everyone squatted together to eat and drink with a big bowl of rice.

The salted fish pot tastes really good, and the soup goes best with rice. The group of people ate it with smiles on their faces.

Changzhou also enjoyed the meal very happily. He said: "Actually, there are also particularities in eating on the sea. Our brothers took the initiative to cook just now because we were afraid that you would be spoiled."

Yun Song asked with interest: "What's the point?"

Just as Changzhou was about to speak, Mangzi suddenly said displeasedly: "Are you a starving ghost? I am just a loser. You are a loser than me. How can you eat this big bowl of rice so quickly?"

A man dressed in shorts bowed and apologized, and kept raising the bowl in his hand to signal him for another bowl.

See this guy.

The expressions of Hu Jinzi and others changed slightly.

This is not the person on the boat.

The Changzhou brothers looked even more ugly. The two of them quietly put down their rice bowls and prepared to touch the shark knives pinned behind their backs.

This knife is made from sharp shark teeth. It is not big in size, but it is extremely effective in suppressing evil!

Yun Song quickly pressed their shoulders with quick eyes and hands, and said to Mangzi: "Give this brother another bowl of rice and two more pieces of meat."

Mangzi didn't think much, took the rice bowl and scooped out a bowl of rice for him and asked: "Which ship are you from? You are very brave, you dare to come to our ship, okay, you are a man, let me eat it for you

You can also order our rice."

The man didn't answer, he kept slurping rice and broth with his head lowered.

The atmosphere on the ship was a little cold.

Both the Diamondback Beetle and the Skywarp Ape are going to touch something.

Yun Song shook his head decisively and said in a low voice: "Eat your own food, whoever wants to add more can do it, no nonsense."
