Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Tianji nodded to show that he understood, and then responded: "I understand, I will arrange it right away."

This was their fourth port of call on this voyage, and half of the items on the ship had been exchanged.

Of course, in addition to food, they also exchanged for many strange and weird things.

No matter where you are, the truth that things are valuable is always the same.

Gu Lin knew very well that he could sell these things for a good price.

The merchant ship slowly approached the shore. There were many cargo ships parked on the shore and many businessmen gathered on the dock. They spoke a language that Gu Lin and others could not understand, but this did not affect the transaction between the two parties.

After Gu Lin's men went down to check around, they came back and told him the general market situation.

Gu Lin then ordered some people to take the goods on their ship and go down to trade with others. Kaiyang stayed on the boat, while he and Tianji took the others to stroll around the city.

When they see some rare objects, they will try every means to exchange them with each other.

Especially those seeds that the sister specifically asked them to find, they found some along the way.

Before going out to sea, Gu Lin asked Gu Qingzhi what she wanted. Unexpectedly, after thinking for a long time, she only said that she wanted seeds, no matter what kind of seeds, grains, vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, medicinal herbs, etc.

It's no wonder that they did find some fruit and vegetable seeds along the way, and also saw a lot of grains, fruits and vegetables that were not available in Da Qi.

Among them is a thing called sweet potato. According to local people, this plant has high yield and is resistant to barrenness. It has a faint sweetness when eaten raw, and has a soft and glutinous texture when cooked, and can fill you up.

After hearing this, Gu Lin's heart moved. If this thing was really that good, wouldn't it be able to solve the problem of food scarcity in Da Qi?

According to local people, the planting method of this plant is also very simple. Just cut it into small pieces and bury it in the ground. After the seedlings grow up, they can also be propagated by cuttings.

Gu Lin mobilized the Qixing Letter Department to investigate the matter among the local residents, and brought back a large amount of sweet potatoes within a limited time.

Three hours later, the merchant ship slowly left the port.

The noisy dock suddenly became quiet again.

The kitchen staff cooked a delicious feast with the fresh meat they bought, and stored the remaining meat and vegetables.

Gu Lin specifically asked the kitchen staff to steam the sweet potatoes and eat them to see if they could really fill his stomach.

We have eaten a lot of things we have never seen before during this period, and we have high expectations for this sweet potato. After all, the locals say that this thing is the same as grain.

Gu Lin was very interested in this kind of food because it was said to make people feel full after eating it.

So, after it was steamed, the kitchen immediately sent him a large plate of it.

When he saw the sweet potatoes in front of him, he found that their skin was reddish-brown.

After being steamed, the skin falls off with a slight push, revealing the yellow flesh inside.

It smells sweet and soft, with a refreshing sweetness.

The taste is very good, soft and sticky, and each one is very big.

After he ate three large ones, he felt full.

Then he took out the remaining sweet potatoes and shared them with everyone.

Judging from everyone’s reactions, this new food has received good reviews.

However, he had also heard from local people that this food should not be consumed in excess and is best eaten with other grains.

Although he didn't understand the reason, he still asked the kitchen to cook some sweet potatoes with every meal in the future.

After all, in the local area, this kind of food is indeed much cheaper than grain.

They have already purchased a large amount of sweet potatoes, and they just need to select some of the good quality ones to bring back home and plant as seeds.

The remaining ones can be eaten later.

In addition, the members of the Seven Stars Tower on board are all specially trained experts.

In preparation for this voyage, Gu Yan also specially asked Yaoguang to find and train a group of people with excellent swimming skills.

These people then boarded the ship.

Before going out to sea, they specially learned skills for survival at sea, so fishing was naturally not a problem for them.

However, if you only eat fish and shrimp every day during the months of drifting at sea, it will inevitably feel too monotonous.

Therefore, when the dried meat they brought was almost finished, every time they arrived at a port, Gu Lin would ask the kitchen staff to purchase large quantities of meat and vegetables and store them.

In this way, they could mix the fish and shrimp caught from the sea with the stored food, and the food turned out to be surprisingly good.

Tianji is also very well organized. Sometimes, if he is lucky, he can catch a lot of fish and shrimp with one cast of the net.

If they can’t finish it, they will find a way to pickle it.

Before setting off, Gu Yan gave Tianji a method of drying salt, but Tianji didn't quite understand the purpose of it at that time.

It was not until he had been drifting on the sea for more than a month that he realized the importance of this method.

At least now, they can achieve self-sufficiency in salt, so pickling fish is naturally not a problem.

These pickled fish can even be exchanged with the indigenous people for other necessary supplies.

When sailing at sea, safety is always their top priority.

After a sumptuous meal, Tianji divided the people in the Seven Star Tower into two groups, one group to rest, and the other group to stay on the ship and remain on alert so that they could respond to various emergencies in a timely manner.

It is common for merchant ships to encounter accidents while sailing on the sea.

For example, you may encounter extremely bad wind and rain, or be harassed by large marine animals.

What the crew hated most were the pirates who committed all kinds of evil.

In the first half of the voyage, they did not encounter any pirates, but when they were halfway through the journey, they ran into a group of pirates on the road.

Tianji complained speechlessly: "It is said that the caravans that went out to sea in the past few years have never encountered pirates. Why is our luck so bad this year?"

Kaiyang drew out the long sword he carried with him and responded, "No point in talking, let's just start the fight! Kill every pirate that comes, if they come in pairs, kill them both!"

There are a large number of pirate ships in front of us, roughly estimated to be about a dozen, with about a hundred people on each ship.

Gu Lin’s ship was relatively large, with more than 300 people on board, all of whom were elites trained by the Seven Stars Tower.

However, with a dozen pirate ships facing more than thirty merchant ships, the merchant ships seemed to have no advantage at all.

After all, the other side is a vicious pirate.

The leader of the merchant ship is a member of the Zheng family, who has rich experience in sailing.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but lament to the staff beside him: "Sir, it seems that the loss of this voyage is heavy!"

This group of pirates looked very vicious. If they were after money, it would be easy to deal with them, but I'm afraid they would not care about their lives, or even their lives.

It's not like I haven't heard of such things before.
