However, considering my weak energy, I am afraid that this sea trip will not be too safe.
【How long will it take for us to go to Blue Country?】
Reinhardt was surprised by her graceful and cooperative attitude. He looked at her with blue eyes for a long time before replying, "It will take about a month."
This time is still within the range of graceful estimates.
Ancient ships either relied on the wind from the sky or people to row them. This kind of merchant ship had many huge oars to row against the current. With such a heavy waterline, it was impossible to go anywhere fast. It took a month.
It's pretty fast.
It is said that it takes about more than a month to travel by land from Yue Country to Lan Country. This speed is not too slow when it comes to sailing.
Man Miao considered it carefully and said, "My family also knows some people in the Blue Country. If you can send me to the Blue Country, I think you will not regret your good deed today."
Hearing the obvious hint in her words that there would be generous rewards, Reinhard laughed, "This is my honor, madam. Will your husband join you in the Blue Country?"
Manmei squinted her eyes and looked at him with a decent smile. Reinhardt's blue eyes were not pure blue, but with a little bit of gray. At this time, she did not feel that telling the truth was a wise choice. Thinking back to
Recalling the situation when she first met them, she said, "Dear Sir, I am not married yet. The young man you saw in the restaurant is my fiancé, and the older man is my father. We will meet in the Blue Country."
[But I saw two young men in the restaurant.] Reinhard smiled and said, [Who is your fiancé?]
Shan Boyuan was also there at that time, and Manmei was secretly surprised that the foreign devil in front of her had such a good memory, but she had to continue explaining with a somewhat proud smile, [As you can see, of course he is the one who looks healthier.]
Reinhard laughed and said, "This is best, he matches you very well."
There wasn't much room for shade on the ship, so Reinhardt took her to the cabin.
The cabin is not very big, and compared to the size of the ship, it is already considered a first-class cabin.
Remember, even on modern luxury cruise ships, many second- and third-class rooms are not very large. After all, they are on the sea. This is especially true for ancient wooden merchant ships. The fact that Reinhardt can have such a large room shows his status.
, should be relatively high among the caravans.
Manmiao's clothes were all wet. Reinhardt very gentlemanly brought her some Chinese-style women's clothes. Seeing Manmiao's surprised look, he explained with a smile, "In my country, many ladies like exotic styles."
】
I think I bought the goods to take back to sell, and I just gave them to her. Manmei took them directly without being polite, thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, you will have a boatload of silk fabrics when you return."
A shipload of silk is just drizzle to Lan Ting, but in distant Europe, it is definitely a shipload of gold.
Reinhard smiled and turned around to go out, closing the door for her.
Manmei took off her clothes that looked like pickles and put on new ones. It could be seen that Reinhard was quite tasteful and could wear the clothes he chose. He was not like a modern foreign devil.
When I saw the clothes I bought in China, my jaw dropped, and I thought that Chinese people just dress like opera singers when they have nothing to do.
When she was changing clothes, she heard a whistle coming from the boat. Apparently there was no wind, so she began to row by hand.
I remember that slavery existed in Europe before, and many defeated prisoners of war would become slaves. Maybe the bottom floor of the cabin would be full of black slaves.
What kind of messed up book was this fucking thing written? The dynasties didn't match up, the geography didn't match up, and the history was even more chaotic. She deserved eight lifetimes of bad luck for being brought here.
Manmei swore inwardly as she changed her clothes and opened the door. When she came out, she saw Reinhard standing on the deck not far away. She walked towards Reinhard.
As I got closer, I realized that there was a black man kneeling at his feet, who seemed to be talking to him. Before he could hear the words, he saw the black man standing up and walking over. He probably hadn't showered in a long time, and he smelled bad.
It can probably kill mosquitoes.
When the black man passed her by, she covered her nose and took several steps back.
I have the impression that ancient Europeans did not like to take baths. In their view, bathing was for the purpose of curing diseases. They should not take baths easily when there was nothing wrong. You can imagine how smelly those people were at that time. In order to cover up the smell, perfume was invented.
The Chinese are much more advanced in terms of hygiene. In ancient times, officials took a break once every ten days, which was called mu rest, and it was clearly stated that it was time for bathing.
[These slaves were too dirty and made the lady unhappy. It was their fault.] Reinhard saw the graceful behavior and apologized for his slaves.
This has already happened, what can I say? Fortunately, I am not an Indian Asan. I have a male colleague who went to India on a business trip and ate curry for more than half a year. After coming back for more than a month, he still has a strong smell of curry.
The sunset in the sea is very beautiful, and it has two different feelings than when you see it on land.
Reinhard stood side by side with her on the side of the boat, blowing the sea breeze. There was no hairpin on her head, just blowing with the wind. Her hair kept flying in the sea breeze, like a naughty elf, caressing her gracefully from time to time.
cheeks and clothes.
Reinhardt has been paying attention to Manmei. She is very fair, as white as the girls of his race. It can be seen that she is a noble lady. Her fingers are smooth and delicate, and she has the elegance of a noble. Look at her looking at the sea.
I am fascinated by the sunset,【Do you like the sea?】
Manmei was surprised that he suddenly asked this question. After thinking about it, she replied, "I am in awe of the sea. Human beings always look so small in front of the sea."
Even in modern times, human beings cannot conquer the sea. There are tens of thousands of ships that have sunk into the sea in ancient and modern times. I don’t remember who said: People must have a sense of reverence for nature.
During dinner in the evening, the two of them ate alone in a small room. None of the businessmen who appeared with him that night came out. They were probably on other ships.
Manmei saw a lot of fish on the dining table, which she thought was normal. This was at sea, so there were a lot of fish, and there were also some rare vegetables and fruits. Manmei saw that they were all in season, and she knew that when these boats docked
, must have been purchased on a large scale.
Without vegetables at sea, it is easy to get vitamin C deficiency, which is called scurvy for short. This was a lingering ghost in the history of ancient European navigation. Later, lemons appeared that could withstand long-term storage.
