Chapter 30 Adopted
It was bright before the sky knew it.
The captain didn't wait much, and there was a thin morning mist in the air, so he began to set sail, passing by the rest of the merchant ships that had already been sitting around. No one spoke on either side, as if it was last night's incident.
The captain had no complaints about the other merchant ships not coming to help. For him, if he had encountered such a thing, he would not have intervened rashly. After all, he would have to take risks with his own lives.
There are high cliffs on both sides of Longtu Ridge, and the entrances and exits are relatively wide, but the part of Longtu Ridge is relatively narrow, so the water flows very fast and forms a strong mountain wind. There are many reefs below, forming many undercurrents, so it is not that old people dare not easily pass through Longtu Ridge.
Only in the morning, the wind is relatively low and the boat is easy to control, so it is easier to pass through.
The captain steadily operated the rudder in the captain's room and issued instructions to the sailors below. The ship was like a dexterous swallow, lightly avoiding the reefs below. Sometimes when encountering undercurrents, the entire ship would be shocked, but under the captain's operation, everything was fine.
When Jia saw that he couldn't help here, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. Jiayi was unwilling to make this kind of big pot dish, mainly because there were too many people, so the amount of dishes was too much, which was too tired. However, for Jiayi last night, he risked his life for Jiayi. In addition to giving money, Jiayi could only make a delicious meal to reward them.
Jiayi has no choice but to choose from, and he still needs to be large in quantity. After thinking about it for a long time, he should give them some noodles.
He first took out a few fish, which he caught yesterday, but was not Jiayi. The battle last night did not affect the kitchen, so the fish were still alive. Jiayi took out a double-eared iron pot, which was a wok style that Jiayi had commonly used in his previous life, but such pots were not common here, and Jiayi brought them himself. There was no iron pot on the boat, although this was a boat from the Chamber of Commerce.
Take out the pot and heat it. Jiayi pours oil into the bottom of the pot. After the oil is heated, add some salty fat meat cut into diced rice, boil out the meat oil, then add some onion, garlic, chili, and stir-fry it, then add the cut and washed fish. Fry until both sides turn yellow, and then add some wine to remove the fish. Finally, Jiayi takes out a small bottle of syrup and adds a little bit of it to the fish. The sugar can add freshness to the fish. Next, add clean water to start making soup.
The soup made after the fish is fried will appear milky white and taste good.
Next, Li Jia started to knead noodles, and he had to cook more than 20 people, and there were a lot of dough. Jia glanced at his small body and directly blessed him with a brute force technique. If there was no magic blessing, he would probably have to have lunch when kneading the noodles.
Even if Jiayi continues to practice Tai Chi and has magic blessings, his arms will be sore after kneading the dough. If he didn't know how to cut the noodles, Jiayi would be ready to make the noodles directly. At least it seems that cutting the noodles will save some effort than rolling the noodles thinner and cutting them into shreds.
......
Jiayi was competing with the dough, and on the other hand, Rodney swam ashore and brought the knocked-out bandits together again.
When Jiayi released the big fireball last night, the landing point was relatively low, and Rodney stood in front and was hit by the fireball into the river. He saw Jiayi's magic in the water so powerful that he didn't dare to continue to cause trouble, so he secretly ran away from the water.
Rodney sat on a large stone with water dripping on his hair. He endured the pain behind him. Although he was thrown into the water last night, it did not mean that he was not injured. Fireball Technique burned his back. Now his back is beyond recognition. The only thing he should be thankful is that it is not even facing the direction of Fireball Technique.
Looking at the messy water bandits sitting or lying in front of him, Rodney said: "This time we suffered heavy losses, it was all the employer's information. I will definitely ask the employer for the loss this time. Don't worry, follow me, I will give you all the commission this time."
"This time the loss is so heavy, why do you still have to follow you?" said a person in the crowd, his tone as if he was complaining, but the voice was just right for everyone to hear.
"Who, stand up and speak." Rodney stood up, widened his eyes and swept across the crowd.
Seeing that no one responded, Rodney said, "I don't even dare to stand up, and I don't have the right to speak."
"Who said I dare not? You shouldn't have lost such a terrible loss this time... Ah!" The water bandit couldn't help but stand up. Before he finished speaking, Rodney jumped over and had a sword. The water bandit's big head was taken over by Rodney.
"Now, who do you have any other opinions? I said that I will give you all the rewards this time." Rodney said with a bloody sword.
No one is born, it is like being immersed in the magic of silence.
I don’t know where Rodney’s sword came from. Generally speaking, they are throwing their armor and abandoning their armor when they run away, especially when they dive to escape. It is not convenient for them to carry weapons. Many people throw away the weapons. But I didn’t expect Rodney to carry them.
There were 40 or 50 people gathered here, which was more than Rodney's original one, but the overall strength did not increase much. On the one hand, there was still several people in the team mixed together, without cohesion, let alone organizational discipline; on the other hand, the living here were some mediocre water bandits, and the powerful water bandits were all rushing to the sand in front, and then killed by Jiayi's crossbow arrows and sailors, and the rest were all ordinary goods.
After being scared by Rodney, he lost his composure and had to follow him.
This time, Rodney suffered a huge loss. Although the personnel seemed to have been expanded, his most important flagship was burned, which almost burned more than half of Rodney's wealth. Even if everyone is integrated, there is no good way to supplement the ship's losses.
They are water bandits, and even if they have money, they cannot buy good ships, especially those fast-speed warships. Moreover, most of the water bandits' weapons are thrown into the water, so it is a considerable expense to configure weapons for the young people.
Now, Rodney can only suppress them with violence first, and then talk about the rest. As long as you successfully robbery a few times, your morale will probably be back. At the same time, let those who don’t accept him take the lead and use a knife to kill all the opponents. Rodney is from the Knights. Although he is only a knight attendant, he is considered a regular army and is always much stronger than these water bandits.
......
By the time I passed through the Dragon Throat Stream, the sun had reached a 45-degree angle. Jiayi did not bring a clock, so he could only estimate that it was around 9 o'clock.
After the boat passed the Dragon Throat Stream, the sailors were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. After experiencing a big battle, they concentrated their energy through the Dragon Throat Stream in the morning. They were exhausted very much in terms of both physical strength and energy.
Kissin came to the kitchen and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Master Jiayi, I heard that you personally made breakfast for us, but I didn't expect you could cook."
Jia took a piece of cloth and uncovered the gurgling fish soup and said, "You ask your captain, you know that we sometimes have to travel outside, so cooking is not a problem for us."
Jiayi tasted the fish soup and felt that it was almost done. He brought the fish soup aside. Fortunately, the soup pot was big enough, otherwise the fish soup would not be enough.
"Kissing, come here, have we passed the Dragon Throat Stream?"
"Yes, I just happened to hear you were cooking and just come and have a look."
"That happens, have you seen these doughs and dough? Roll the dough into the same dough with that stick, and then cut it into such thin strips." Jiayi had cut a small pile of noodles, but it was not even half of it. When he saw Kissin, he happened to be employed, and he couldn't even take care of his injuries.
Kissin had no objection. Not to mention how many people Jiayi saved last night, he was very eager to establish a good relationship with a mage. The sailors had speculated about the real reason for the attack of the water bandits, but they were not sure. Moreover, even if they were confirmed, they would not say anything to Jiayi. Not to mention the gap in identity, Jiayi was a good thing they had never encountered before when the sailors paid and cooked. As for the death of several sailors, it was really normal.
Jiayi is still simple now. After seeing it a lot in the future, he probably won’t take human life seriously. In fact, there are signs now that he usually kills the enemy directly.
Now, if Jiayi comes forward and says he wants to attract some followers, he will ensure that everyone will be moved, including the captain.
