Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 32: Shopping

Gordon laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Very good, my first officer, you have finally come to your senses."

After lunch, the uncontrollable sailor decided to have some fun, either to spend a day in the pub and then go shopping for something interesting, or to go straight to the red houses.

Gordon was very disgusted with this aspect after going through Carroll's incident. He just took Coolidge, Allen and Mickey to go to the exchange to see things, buy some clothes or books in the market, and know what they have. Everything was destroyed in the battle, and if possible, get the crew to buy light guns, machetes, there were gaps in the last battle.

Food and water are also things that must be replenished. You must know that the pirates of Barbossa have no taste in what they eat, and they can't feel their thirst when they drink water, so they hardly prepare these things.

Gordon walked to a clothing store. Although the clothes in it were not very luxurious, they looked at least not bad.

The bell that opened the door reminded the boss of the arrival of the guest. A boss wearing a white robe and a golden wig walked in. He looked very gentle, and even had a curly beard, which made people feel a little happy.

Gordon stared at the boss, which was actually a very rude behavior, but the man smiled slightly: "This is a very popular look in London."

A group of rude sailors walked into his shop without causing him any discrimination, not to mention that there is a master like Coolidge who is not bad at first sight, and the leader Gordon is even more extraordinary. big world.

You must know that some sailors came in and started to touch the east and the west, such as Mickey and Allen.

"Cough cough..."

Gordon has never seen anything in the modern city. These things are far worse than the famous brands of later generations. Even the retro is a bit novel. Seeing the two guys in the back look like douchebags entering the city, he couldn't help pretending to cough as a reminder.

"Alan, do you think you can afford it if you sell it..."

But the two people behind didn't understand the meaning of the captain's cough at all, and continued to discuss in a low voice.

Because they opened a red robe that was placed in the window, and the label on the base actually had twenty silver coins. This represented almost half a year's salary for them. Although the captain would solve the most basic problem of eating, he still had to rely on himself for drinking and having fun. If he could save twenty silver coins a year, he was already a miser among misers.

Allen looked at the sign and felt that his eyes had been blinded. The money was enough for him to drink wine in the tavern for a month without stopping. He drank himself to death in it, but he never thought that someone would use it to buy one Clothes, the most expensive clothes he had ever worn were only 35 shillings, which was equivalent to less than two pounds. It was given by a partner who was a maid in the Duke's house when he was coming of age. Of course, it was also the person he wanted to pursue. .

"I can't afford it, I only buy this kind of clothes when I'm full."

Gordon's face was already twitching, and the shopkeeper forcibly ignored this behavior. He could only pray that the two old-fashioned sailors had washed their hands.

"What would the customer want? My name is Klink, the owner of this shop."

Gordon shook hands.

"Let's take a look first, you're busy, I'll call you if you need to."

Klink nodded, then called to the back, "Gemma, come out to receive guests!"

A little boy about thirteen years old rushed out from the back of the store, with a thin body and very simple clothes, but he looked very clean.

"Guest, this is Gemma. You can ask him if you have any questions. I'll go to the back to sort out the supplies first. I'm sorry."

There was no child protection law at this time, and even if there were, it would not be in control of La Guaira in the Caribbean Sea. Child labor is generally performed by children from poor families, who have already worked in various shops at the age of twelve or thirteen, or are blacksmiths. Shop, tailor shop as an apprentice, although you can't make much money, but at least you can support yourself and learn a craft, right?

Gemma came up with a 90-degree bow: "Welcome to the store, what do you need?"

Seeing such an enthusiastic child, Gordon also smiled: "I need to buy some decent outfits for myself and my subordinates, the ones with better workmanship and darker tones."

Gemma listened to Gordon's words, but didn't know what the dark tone was: "Sir, that dark tone..."

"Black, brown, gray or dark red."

After understanding Gordon's request, Gemma's eyes brightened a lot. Even if this person buys the cheapest clothes, he can get one or two silver coins in four sets. Maybe he can have an extra chicken leg for dinner. If Mr. Link is in a good mood.

With a smile on her face, Gemma began to look at various clothes with Gordon and Coolidge.

"Sir, this is the latest Chinese clothing from London, usually worn by wealthy grandfathers. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is the latest style, because you know that the cost of sea trade has increased, so the selling price is also slightly higher. It was a lot more expensive, with thirteen silver coins.

When Coolidge was the captain himself, he did not treat himself badly. It is not surprising that he often added two good clothes for himself when he was on the London route, so he knew these prices very well.

"Huh, isn't it right? The selling price in London is only six silver coins, and the cost is only three silver coins. The shipping cost of ocean trade is so high?"

But Gemma didn't panic at all: "Sir, due to the appearance of sea fog these few days, many merchant ships have not arrived at the port and suffered heavy losses, so the price has increased. There were only eight silver coins before!"

Coolidge was noncommittal, while Gordon watched the rich expressions and bickering of the two people. It was very interesting. The dark red suit suits his taste, but the folds at the edges and the feathered hat make it feel a little too cumbersome. After thinking about it, I gave up and continued shopping.

The area of ​​this small shop is not large, but it has more than 100 pieces of clothes on display. There are various styles, and the tailors are very skilled.

In the end, the four Gordons spent twenty-three silver coins here, and left in the welcome voice of Clink and Gemma who were full of smiles.

Gordon came out wearing the newly bought clothes. His current clothes and other clothes were put in a cloth bag and carried by the coolie Alan. There was no way. There was a captain, a first mate, and A boatswain has the lowest status.

Then they went on to the shoe store, and even to the expensive perfume store, because Coolidge felt that the stinky pirates on the Black Pearl really made him unable to stand the environment, but fortunately the Black Pearl was larger in size and had a large The deputy room, so that Curic would no longer have to sleep under the deck.
