Chapter 143 Fishing for sharks
The eldest sister continued to analyze: "Generally speaking, the most valuable thing about this indefinite task is that there is no time limit. It is not very meaningful to use it to do tasks during this period. More importantly, we need to accumulate funds to strengthen equipment and upgrade. By the way, I don't know if it can be upgraded in this game?"
Second sister: "If we can upgrade, does it mean that the world is virtual?"
Zhang Cheng was not satisfied with this conclusion: "In our previous world, we can also upgrade. For example, politicians can be promoted from street politicians to local councillors, state councillors, congressmen, and congressmen. Businessmen can be upgraded from small retailers to national general agents step by step. Workers also have the opportunity to be promoted to company managers, and teachers can also be promoted from elementary school substitute teachers to university professors. Professional athletes, blue-collar level, role players, all-stars, leading actors, and top-salary big names."
"Okay." said the eldest sister: "But that's not the point. The point is, I just asked the sailors, they were just hired to board the ship. I understand?"
Zhang Cheng understood, that is to say, the time is really wonderful when a group of people left the game for more than 20 days.
Bai Nuanmei couldn't help but say, "Time is so wonderful. We have been away for three weeks."
Sister: "I suggest that during this period, everyone pay attention to the speed of their nail growth, which is the most intuitive biological cycle. If our nails still grow at the original speed, we cannot spend too long here."
"clear."
White and beautiful mother: "Okay, now my elder sister and I will take a few sailors to buy some goods. These days they have studied the history of this era a lot. Okay, let's take the rest of the boat, don't always play around with it."
"clear."
Zhang Cheng felt that the only thing to pay attention to on the ship was the issue of sailor rebellion. Look, the sailors of Jack Sparrow, the Black Pearl, rebelled under the leadership of the first mate and threw Jack on the uninhabited island.
After watching several dramas, is Jack Sparrow a good captain? The answer is that although this person is a little bit 2, he is still a qualified captain - he can always take everyone to places he needs to go. But except for Bil Turner, who was sunk to the Atlantic Ocean, he still gets betrayed everyone.
Although it is not entirely attributed to his husky attributes, it is obvious that everyone still likes the tough and tough captain - the lame + hook + parrot is the best shape. Although the first mate uses a monkey instead of the parrot, the effect is also good.
In Zhang Cheng's opinion, the current captain has the problem of insufficient command. Fortunately, there is a team on the ship now.
The captain took people to buy goods. In theory, Zhang Cheng and others just need to patrol each position, but walking around consumes calories. Zhang Cheng walked from the bow to the stern and didn't want to go back. The boat was not big and there was anything good to see just two minutes later.
At the stern of the boat, Zhang Cheng saw a sailor fiddling with several ropes. In addition to the rope, there was also a wooden utensil in the shape of a wheel fixed to the stern of the boat.
Zhang Cheng asked the sailor at the stern: "What are you doing?"
Sailor: "Fishing. Supply the kitchen on board."
The sailor said. Pick up a hemp rope, tied a fish float made of a wooden stick near the tail section, and tied a pig iron hook cast as thick as a thumb at the end of the hemp rope - this cannot be blamed on the blacksmith. The technology of this era did not have a thin and strong steel hook. The sailor skewed a dead fish the size of a palm on the hook and threw it into the sea water at the stern of the boat.
Zhang Cheng checked and found that there were indeed extra hemp ropes on the ground, a bucket of dead fish the size of a palm, a dozen cast iron hooks and wooden sticks of varying lengths and thicknesses.
Zhang Cheng asked: "What fish can bite this kind of hook?"
Sailor: "The sharks are the ones who can bite this kind of hook near the harbor."
"Oh." Zhang Cheng also remembered it. It seemed that sharks like to gather in crowds. Whether they are slave ships that often throw dead slaves down or on tropical beaches. It is said that because of the existence of humans, the number of algae plankton increased greatly, causing fish to come here to feed, and then the sharks also came.
The reason is simple, but it cannot be cracked - the shark defense network can only be said to be a soothing measure, so several beachfront swimmers die every summer - but this has no effect on the nature of everyone's summer vacation.
"I'll try too." Zhang Cheng said, like a sailor, tied the rope to the pillars on the side of the boat, then put on the fish float, tied the hook, put on the dead fish that made the bait, and then threw it into the sea water.
The two of them threw more than twenty ropes down, and the rest was waiting at the fish float.
After a while, one of the fish floats moved, and the sailor said, "It seems that it is not a big fish."
Even though he said so, he still pulled the rope and felt that although it was a bit worthwhile to buy it, it was far inferior to the large shark. Zhang Cheng also worked hard, and the wheels of the two of them were useless. The four hands took turns to pull the prey up quickly.
Zhang Cheng was overjoyed to grab the back of the lobster, but the sailor disagreed: "There are fangs and claws, such big tongs, and the shrimps are not good at first sight."
Well, this era must have not yet had the first story of eating crabs - maybe there was a story, but it had not spread. After all, this world is not an era of information explosion. Zhang Cheng thought about it with a big lobster, and there were few farmed lobsters in later generations that were so big - let alone Ma Xiao, one of the harms of foreign paddy fields.
Zhang Cheng, who covered the lobster with an iron bucket, thought about it. In fact, foreigners eat really hard. The dark British Empire cuisine is to make fish, potatoes, and flour come and go. The French are so strong that they think foie gras and truffles are amazing delicacies. Zhang Cheng has also eaten French dinners twice, and it feels that that's the case.
The Italian Marco Polo at least brought Chinese noodles to the Italians. Although it was changed to Italian macaroni, there was no difference. The Russians are the ones who can eat potatoes with bread, butter, caviar, salt, and beef for a lifetime - it would be even better if there was vodka, and it was worthy of being known as a fighting nation.
Frying a few home-cooked dishes like Chinese is a real life for Germans or Americans. The development of technology has not brought much change. If there is any change, it is that many young Westerners have become microwave children. They can be taken out for a few minutes to put the food in and heat it up.
"It's biting the hook again." The sailor shouted and pulled it, and said, "This time it's a big fish."
Zhang Cheng helped the sailor pull the hemp rope onto the wheel, and then the two of them quickly shook the wheel and pulled the big fish up. The big fish that was pulled up was not the great white shark with fish fins behind the back as Zhang Cheng remembered, but a three-foot-long, flat body like a palm fan - of course it was a shark. When he pulled it up, the teeth in the mouth were still biting the hemp rope and iron hook. Such a fierce temperament is rare among other fish.
Zhang Cheng searched for the fish introduction I had seen before, remembered the name of this person and blurted out: "Fallen Shark."
