Since we have decided to go for a walk on Lake Beringa this Sunday, let’s prepare what we need to bring while there are still two days left. Bockaar said that there is only one day and there is no need to consider staying overnight, so we don’t need to buy...
Then his words were interrupted by Erikson: "Why not go out on Saturday night, do night fishing directly on the lake and camp on the boat? Although the small fishing boat is two meters shorter than other fishing boats, the four people are still there
It can rain. As long as it doesn’t rain, we can even have a barbecue party or something on the boat..."
What a good idea! Viricero was the first to express his agreement. Bockaar thought about it and thought that this is also very good. As long as the boat is okay, safety will be no problem. Now that summer is here, the weather is starting to get hotter. I drive the boat in the evening.
There are quite a few fishermen spending the night on the lake, and there are also some people who specially rent boats for night fishing on the lake and return to the dock in the early morning. If you are lucky, you can earn more from fishing at night than a fisherman who works hard during the day.
Claude was a little reluctant. He didn't want to waste his time practicing meditation by going fishing on the lake at night. Although it would be fine if he stopped practicing for a day or two, Claude understood that truth very well.
Wasted in fun.
Damn it, it was too late to understand this truth in my previous life. Although the old people often said it, I never took it to heart. I didn’t wake up until two months before the college entrance examination. But it was too late at that time. No matter how much I reviewed, I couldn’t
I didn’t get admitted to Beida Qinghua University. I remember my head teacher at that time once said to myself, it’s a pity. It’s not that you are not smart, you just worked too late. If your grades can be improved by more than 20 points, you can go to those two schools.
University...
No, why did I think of the time when I was taking the college entrance examination in my previous life? It was too far away. Then I traveled through time more than ten years after I graduated from college... What did I want to say just now?
Claude came to his senses after being pulled by Erikson's arm, and heard Erikson announce: "Very good, everyone just agreed, then we will set sail on Saturday afternoon!"
"Ah, when did I agree?" Claude said in his heart that I didn't agree.
"When we asked you just now, you just acquiesced if you didn't say anything." Erikson replied cheerfully: "We are very reasonable. It's okay if you don't agree anyway. Three to one, you are a minority, you have to obey us.
One, because we are the majority..."
Claude was speechless and could only smile bitterly. Forget it, just think of it as a night of mischief with them. They are all good friends. Don't make everyone angry because of his practice of meditation.
Bockaar began discussing with Erikson what to prepare and buy.
Claude thought he was unlucky but could not show his unwillingness to make everyone unhappy. So he offered to cover all the barbecue ingredients for Saturday night and the food and drinks on Sunday, so that everyone did not have to pay from public funds.
Money. Just treat it like he’s treating everyone to a big dinner.
After Boker helped Claude sell the Sullivan gold coin for twelve gold crowns, Claude agreed to treat everyone to a big dinner. But the problem is that there is only one place in White Deer Town where you can really have a big dinner, the old tavern.
.But that is a place where our fathers often go. If Claude takes his friends to have a big meal there, he will definitely have to be punished again when he returns home. If it is serious, the money may even be used by Morsan.
Sir, it will be confiscated.
Although Bock'ar's father promised to keep Bock'ar a secret, it would be easy for Claude to show off by taking his friends to the old tavern to eat and drink. After all, the prices in the old tavern are not cheap. The price of a big meal.
There are not one or two silver towers that cannot be reached. If you spend so much money to eat and drink there, no matter whose father you are, you will get to the bottom of it. It is difficult to guarantee whether Bokoal’s father will reveal it to Mr. Morsan without mercy.
The truth.
Twelve gold crowns are equal to sixty silver thalers, which is equal to six thousand yuan. In this era when the per capita monthly income is only one or two hundred yuan, it can be said to be a huge sum of money. This is Claude's personal wealth.
It was equivalent to two years' salary of his father, Mr. Morsan. However, when he had no money, he wanted to sell the Sullivan gold coin, but after he actually sold it and had this huge sum of money, he realized that he didn't have anything he wanted to buy at the moment...
The friends also knew that Claude was rich now, and this proposal also perfectly solved the problem of his promise to treat everyone to a big dinner. So they all agreed, and Claude waved his hand in a big way, choosing the most expensive one.
The best buy, buddy, I’m not short of money now...
It’s just that the final result of selecting the ingredients made everyone a little embarrassed, because in Bailu Town, the most expensive ingredients are aquatic products. Four people want to barbecue on the boat, and they also want to catch some fish at night and grill them directly, so this aquatic product can
Cross it off on the ingredient list.
Next is meat. The four-person family is a wealthy family in the town. They are not poor families who can only eat meat every once in a while, so they are not very greedy for meat. Although they still bought some beef and mutton.
, but the price is only three doriazos, which is enough to fill the stomachs of four people. As for the grilled chicken wings that Erikson is more greedy for, they are pet food that no one eats and can only be fed to dogs. Five
I bought a bunch of them for Sunar.
Finally, there are fruits and bread. Bailu Town itself is rich in fruits. A large basket of blueberries only requires one riaso. Even if you add other melons, plums, apples, etc., it won’t cost much. But for the sake of freshness.
It’s best to buy it on Saturday afternoon. Save it and buy it early. It’s easy to get rotten. The same goes for bread, but you have to talk to the bakery first, pay a deposit, and then pick up the customized honey milk bread...
After doing the math, Claude found that the price was really cheap. With so much food and barbecue ingredients, it was only close to one silver thaler. However, Bockar gritted his teeth and prepared to buy four bottles of blueberry fruit wine, which was a bit expensive. One bottle
It costs one riaso and three sunars. The small barrel of rye that Verricro suggested to buy to quench his thirst only costs eight sunars, but the barrel requires a deposit of one riaso, which must be returned.
of.
Claude, who is rich and wealthy, has forgotten one thing, that is, his father, as the administrative director of White Deer Town, only earns three silver thalers per month, which is equivalent to the salary of only one riaso per day, while his mother manages
This family does not spend more than five or six sunars on food every day. He spent more than one silver thaler on food for one night and one day, which is already considered extravagant and wasteful.
After finishing the food list, Bockaar discussed with Erikson the purchase of some odds and ends needed on the boat, such as charcoal for barbecue, fishing lines and hooks, and fish skin lanterns for attracting fish during night fishing.
.In addition, there were gunpowder, guns and match ropes for the matchlocks that everyone brought. So after lunch, the four of them climbed the wall behind the school again and walked to the Old Monk Fishing Gear and Boat Supplies Specialty in the slum area.
"I want ten units of the standard type universal dry powder No. 2." Claude said to Bockal, and Bockal nodded. Now their two Obash type II standard matchlock guns use this type of dry powder.
The gunpowder is twice as expensive as the matching gunpowder. Well, it means that after using a good one, it is difficult to tolerate using something inferior. As the ancients said, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is probably the truth.
Bar.
But Claude thinks this is nonsense. Who would use the bad ones when there are good ones? If human society uses the bad ones but not the good ones, how can society progress and develop? It is precisely because everyone wants to use the good ones.
Have the motivation to think about how to improve the situation and enable yourself to use good things. It is in this situation of never being satisfied that human society moves towards civilization step by step.
"Wait a minute, Claude, I think we should buy two units of granular standard No. 3 supporting gunpowder? It is said that this can allow our matchlock gun to reach a maximum range of 380 meters. The lake is open, we can try
Test the gun without worrying about accidentally injuring someone..."
After hearing what Bockal said, Claude also wanted to try the longest range of his favorite gun. Although this granular standard No. 3 gunpowder costs five sunars per unit, buying two units only costs one ria.
So, okay, Claude nodded: "Then buy two units."
Next to him, Verricro burst into tears. His old-fashioned Galli Type III matchlock gun could only use the standard dry powder No. 1 gunpowder. It could not even use the standard universal dry powder No. 2 gunpowder, let alone granules.
The model is equipped with standard No. 3 gunpowder. If it is forced into his old matchlock gun and used, there will be a great possibility of the chamber exploding, because the chamber pressures generated by the explosion of these three kinds of gunpowder in the barrel are very different...
As for Erikson, he ignored the interaction between the three people. Anyway, he was not going to bring his arquebus on the ship. His father, Captain Otruny, told him that on the sea, long-distance firefights
Relying on artillery, a matchlock gun is useless no matter how far it is fired. It is almost impossible or rare to stand in a queue and fire together like on land. The two ships are within fifty meters apart.
They have already joined forces with each other to jump off the ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, the matchlock gun is really useless in the battle between ships on the sea, especially since the ship is still moving and floating on the waves, which makes the hit rate of the matchlock gun a joke. Even if it cannot hit within ten meters
It is also normal for the opponent. As long as the arquebus in your hand is fired, don't worry about whether it hits the opponent or not, and don't rush to load the blunderbuss. The only way is to first draw out the dagger, pick up the ax and strike at the enemy.
The right choice.
The last time I went on an adventure to Bailuzhou, I brought this blunderbuss with me. The only thing that four people could use for hunting was Verricro's old matchlock gun, so Erikson brought this blunderbuss for protection. Moreover,
This blunderbuss did not disappoint Erikson. Without this blunderbuss, Claude might have died under the kiss of a boa constrictor.
But now the plan is to go to Lake Beringa. There is no danger. Claude and Bockar's two new matchlock guns are enough. The frustrated Viricero is no longer prepared to take them with him.
That is the old-fashioned Galli Type III matchlock gun. Anyway, I am going to hunt water ducks in the reeds by the lake. The target is small and long-distance. I am smart. With my old-fashioned matchlock gun, I might not have a chance to get closer than 100 meters.
It would be better to borrow Bockard's matchlock gun.
Claude once again stood in front of the three wooden trellises placed in the inner room of Valkuri, and once again carefully looked at the items scattered on them. First, he used his mental power to cover the entire wooden trellis, and then he was disappointed to find
There is no abnormality in any of the items above.
Claude was disappointed three times, and then he came back. Vericro asked curiously: "I thought you were going to buy toys and accessories for your younger brothers and sisters again, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon. Why,
Nothing you like?"
Claude nodded: "They are all old stuff, the same as last time. There are really no interesting items."
Vaculi heard Claude's words, raised his head and said: "I don't collect those groceries very much now. The ones on the shelves are all left over from the past. I heard that another grocery store opened in the slums, that's the one
The car is driven by chubby Julian. I still want to call him over some time and ask him to collect all my three racks of things. They take up too much space in the house."
Claude didn't know who Julian was, but Eriksson and Bockaard obviously knew who he was.
"Julian is back?" Erikson was surprised.
"He's not leaving? Is he still running a grocery store at home?" Bockaar asked Vakuri.
Vakuri nodded.
"Who is Julian?" Claude asked.
"Julian was a traveling merchant, always traveling here and there. He took his donkey and sold miscellaneous goods through the streets." Bockaar said.
"Julian is a good old man." Ericson said: "He likes children and drinks. He often tells stories to a group of children on the dock. He has traveled to many places and knows a lot. The stories he tells
It sounds very good. Especially the maltose he sells is very delicious. I wonder if he still makes it now..."
"A few years ago, Julian said he was going to the royal capital, but I didn't expect him to come back..." Bock'ar added.
