Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 10: gambling

The sharp whistle recalled that the patrol team in the British royal red uniform came to the pub with muskets.

When the conflict was about to start, someone notified the port guards. They came out of the tavern early and did not intervene. came out.

There are about fifteen people in a guard team. When the whistle sounded, an officer took a leather whip and slapped the outermost personnel.

The red-eyed sailor turned his head and saw the dark muzzle of the gun, which instantly calmed down.

As more and more people quieted down, the crowd inside began to realize something. The first person started to run away, and everyone present dispersed.

Those caught will either be fined, or will be locked in a small dark room for three days in the guard's prison, and will inevitably be beaten. Of course, this kind of crime is not good.

Although the guards were armed with muskets, it was impossible to shoot rashly under such circumstances. These people would not be guilty of death, but killing a few people would be a big problem.

So the guards began to pick up wooden sticks, and the ropes rushed towards these fleeing sailors frantically, and some people shouted for support, and more guards participated.

These sailors are their bonuses. If they catch more, maybe they can add meals this month. It seems to have become a long-term custom.

About 60 people participated in this group fight, and in the end 28 were arrested, nearly half of them.

And Gordon, of course, is the one who was directly arrested. As the instigator of the group fight, both he and Amos are the most wanted targets. Amos fell to the ground and lost his resistance, and Gordon Deng was blocked in a corner after exhausting the three guards.

As a good citizen, he can't attack these guards, and he doesn't want to expose his abilities, so he can only capture them.

Bang!

The iron door of the prison was locked, and Gordon lay bored on the ground bed made of hay. This was the first time in his two lives that he was in prison.

There is a stench here, mice are running around, and it seems to be a drain.

But he wasn't worried at all. Fighting wasn't a big deal, and he would be fined fifty pounds for making trouble. He believed that Coolidge, who was watching a good show next to him, would definitely give it out.

Not long after I lay down, I heard the guard opening the door.

"Gordon, someone has bailed you, you can leave!"

Watching one person get out of prison, other people who have not waited for bail began to cry, and some even shouted that they were wronged.

He went out with him and the other two crew members who were caught in the fight were both released on bail by Coolidge.

"Captain!"

He looked at the two sailors with bruised noses and swollen faces, and patted his shoulders: "They are all good, go out and give you some extra food."

Before he docked at the port of Cayenne, Coolidge had already announced that Gordon would step down as the captain, and he was temporarily in the position of chief mate. He would disembark when he finally docked in Havana, and then take a passenger ship to return to Liverpool.

When several people left the magnificent stone prison, Coolidge was waiting outside.

"The money to redeem you is what you owe me!"

Although he doesn't object to Gordon's actions, everyone has to pay for their actions, right? Otherwise, how can long memory.

Gordon laughed: "If I take your daughter, is the money all mine?"

Coolidge paid attention to Gordon the whole time when he went to chat with him. He has no prejudice against women, is kind, should not treat his daughter badly, and has the ability to save his own life, which is really a good one. s Choice.

"Are you serious?"

This question made Gordon suddenly embarrassed, and he couldn't help but twitch: "Of course it's a joke."

Coolidge shook his head. Some people begged him to marry his daughter, and some people refused his kindness. Sure enough, people's hearts are too complicated.

This voyage is coming to an end, and there are less than five days to reach Havana, the largest city in the entire Caribbean Sea, so on this day, Coolidge summoned sailors to buy a lot of food, and then returned to the ship and held a A large banquet is also an early farewell banquet.

This is also to ensure fairness and justice, so that everyone can participate.

Leaning on the side of the boat, Gordon began to tell Coolidge about the idea of ​​​​canning.

"You want to say that food rots because of tiny, invisible bugs? As long as you kill them, you can preserve vegetables and fruits at sea?"

Gordon looked at Curic's questioning face and raised his eyebrows: "That's what I meant."

However, Gordon overlooked one thing, that is, it is still in the eighteenth century, and microbiology has not yet begun to emerge, and even fifty years before the beginning of the first industrial revolution, the steam engine began to appear. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Coolidge looked at Gordon, if it wasn't for his normal complexion, he would have thought he had taken the wrong medicine or had a brain fever and was confused.

"Haven't you heard of it?"

"What have you heard of?"

"Of course it is the theory of microorganisms."

Coolidge shook his head and said he had never heard of it.

Gordon took a deep breath. If he wanted to have a profitable fruit canning factory, would he have to build a steam engine himself, and then study how to seal the tin can?

But Coolidge, as the first person to hear about this theory in this world, needs to convince him, and the best way to convince him is nothing else but to prove it with facts.

"Morgan, when you go back in the future, you can do a simple experiment, soak a fruit or vegetable in sugar, put it in a jar, seal it with beeswax, boil it in water for about ten minutes, and then take it a month later. Come out, I can be sure that the food inside will not rot, and if you complete this experiment, you can write to my home in Havana, and I will tell you how to get the next step."

Then Coolidge still looked disdainful and didn't believe it at all, and was too lazy to waste time to conduct the experiment. He couldn't understand the meaning of this experiment at all. Could it help him make more money?

Seeing that the latter didn't care at all, Gordon had no choice but to make a gamble.

"If the result is not what I said, I will come to the door to apologize in person, and then meet your daughter. If it is what I said..."

"Then I'll give you another two thousand pounds!"

The two of them punched each other, indicating that the bet was effective. Men on the sea attach the most importance to gambling and promises, because in this era, letters are far away, horses and horses are slow, and there is only enough love for one person in a lifetime.
