tall and rhubarb

Gao Chang first gave some sugarcane seeds to the people on the small island, and after living on the island for more than a month, he successively used the vegetables on his boat to enrich the species of the small island.This place is really good, isolated from the world and away from disturbances, Gao Chang originally wanted to stay for a while, or it would be good to stay here until the end of the war.

The people on the island are very kind to Gao Chang and them. Whenever they eat, someone will often send them some home-made delicacies, expressing their gratitude to them for bringing sugar cane and other vegetable seeds to this island.

It's just that this small island is also divided into radicals and conservatives. The members of those radicals have been eager to move, always staring at Gao Chang and his ship.Gao Chang and Rhubarb didn't care about it, they had been cultivating for so many years, and they didn't pay much attention to the mutants, but Suobo and the others were different.

One day at noon, Gao Chang had lunch at the slug's house as usual, and then wandered to the leader's house with the whole family, saying that he was leaving that afternoon, and thanked them for their care during this time.

The old man was talking to a few radicals on the island, and he was caught off guard by Gao Chang. Although he himself did not support the proposal of the radicals to snatch the ship, they wanted the ship too much, so the two sides have been deadlocked .It's not because of the benevolence of this old man, but because when the strength of the enemy and the enemy are unknown, it is easy to suffer a loss if you make a rash move. Now that there are not many strong labor forces on their island, they can no longer make unnecessary sacrifices.

Recently, someone proposed to find and select two girls to marry Gao Chang and Da Huang, and tried to win them over. If they could stay, wouldn't it be easy to get the ship.This proposal has been approved by many people. Even if the plan fails, it will only be the loss of two girls. It will not be too late to talk about snatching the boat when they leave the island.

Now that the candidate has been confirmed, Gao Chang suddenly said that he was going to leave before he had time to announce it.The people on the island enthusiastically persuaded Gao Chang and the others to stay for a while. The outside world is so chaotic, and their island is like a paradise. Why did they leave.But Gao Chang insisted on leaving. He knew that he said he wanted to leave, and the guys on the island became nervous. No matter if they were conservative or radical, they were unwilling to watch the ship go away.

"I heard before that you seem to have stored a lot of shredded tobacco?" Gao Chang also learned their language a lot during the time on the island.

"Oh, yes, do you want to buy it?" Gao Chang's question was somewhat unexpected, because during the period of time he lived on the island, he did not reveal any intention to buy shredded tobacco.

"Yes, if it's convenient, I'd like to see the goods first." Gao Chang smiled. He didn't mention the deal before because he didn't want people to know that they still have so many good things on board. Now that they are leaving, it is natural Not much to worry about.

"What do you want to exchange with us?" This old man, who seemed amiable, suddenly changed his aura and changed his role to become a shrewd businessman. Sure enough, the old guy who has been engaged in tobacco trading for a long time No matter what, it's impossible to be a kind old man next door.

"I have some groceries on board." Gao Chang replied calmly.

"Let's take a look at your stuff first," the old man demanded unquestionably.

"Okay, go to the beach." Gao Chang was also straightforward.

After arriving at the beach, Gao Chang went directly to the boat and took two pieces of cloth down, and handed them to the islanders for them to watch in turn.

"My God, such a good fabric!"

"It's been a long time since we all wore new clothes."

"How much cloth do you think they have on board?"

"Maybe there are other things. There are a lot of candies."

The people on this small island hadn't seen such brand-new fabrics for many years. After being shocked, they all began to guess how many good things Gao Chang and the others had on board.

"How much fabric do you have?" The old man was also a little impatient.

"That's enough." Gao Chang grinned. At this time, there is no need to play low-key.

"Come on, let's go and see the shredded tobacco." The old man turned his back and led the way as he said that. Gao Chang raised his hand and threw the pistol he had just picked up when he picked up the cloth to Rhubarb, and asked him to stand guard here. Someone moved his family's ship.

With Rhubarb's skill, naturally there is no need for a pistol, but it's okay for them to be regarded as mutants. When the mutants win the world, they will be able to live their lives openly. If something else comes out, I'm afraid I won't be able to live a peaceful life in this life.

Gao Chang followed the old man who led the way and several other islanders, and climbed the mountainside of the highest mountain on their island. There was a natural cave there, and boxes of busy tobacco were densely piled up inside.

"A few years ago, the sea level gradually rose, so we stored the cut tobacco in several different warehouses. Only the cut tobacco in this cave was preserved, and the rest were soaked into the sea." The old man touched Neat and tidy wooden boxes, with a deep sadness in the tone, those buried in the bottom of the sea with those shredded tobacco, and their countless compatriots.

"How do you set the price?" Gao Chang opened a box and found that the stuff inside was really high-quality shredded tobacco. Such a box might have fetched a lot of money in the past.

The old man sighed and straightened his back again: "One piece of cloth can be exchanged for five boxes of shredded tobacco."

"Hehe, that's impossible." I happily shook my head with a smile. What's the difference between this price and the peaceful era? Now the world is different. These days, how many people would exchange food and cloth for shredded tobacco, such an impractical luxury? Taste?The era of huge profits in tobacco has long passed.

"Then talk about it."

"One price, one piece of cloth for one thousand catties of tobacco." Gao Chang dared to say.

"Young man, don't have too much appetite." The old man looked at Gao Chang with his sleeves covered, his expression seemed to be persuading him not to go to the road of death.

"Hmph, I'm already very polite. If I don't want these tobaccos, they can only rot in the cave. For the sake of our friendship for more than a month, I will give you another good thing as a gift. I advise you, too. Don't think about my ship, it's not yours, it's better not to think about it." Gao Chang sneered, and when it comes to this, he might as well open up his words, if he insists on being tough, he won't Mind getting some more blood on your hands.

"What good thing?" The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously compromising.

"Don't worry, if you say it's a good thing, it's definitely a good thing. You can ask someone to transport the ten tons of shredded tobacco I want to the seaside, and then I will keep my promise and give you a hundred bolts of cloth."

The old man wanted to say something, but Gao Chang had already left the cave first. He wanted to complete the transaction in a few short hours in the afternoon. Anyway, he would never continue to stay on this small island tonight. stay.

Back at the beach, in the salty sea breeze, Gao Chang also smelled a faint smell of gunpowder smoke. It seemed that Rhubarb had just shot, but there seemed to be no casualties.

"I have already discussed with your leaders. One hundred pieces of fabric will be exchanged for ten tons of shredded tobacco. Our ship will set off at four o'clock in the afternoon. When the time comes, I will give you as much shredded tobacco as you want. No matter whether the transaction is completed or not, we will They will all sail on time."

After Gao Chang finished speaking, he went to the boat to fetch some silkworm chrysalis, and gave back a small mulberry seedling by the way. A total of three mulberry seedlings were planted in the soil basket of the warm shed. Because the temperature was relatively low, they had not grown well. It is very lush, but it is enough for those baby silkworms to eat. After all, Gao Chang raised these silkworms just to keep them as seeds. The number is not large, and most of the extra silkworm chrysalis produced by breeding made Simba and the others beat their teeth. sacrifice.

Give silkworms and mulberry trees to the people on this small island, and they will be able to raise silkworms by themselves in the future. Weaving may take a while to figure out, but using silk and the cloth bought from Gao Chang and the others to make some quilts and padded jackets Such things are very convenient.

Since Gao Chang and the others came to this island, they not only brought them sugar cane and a lot of vegetable seeds, but now they also brought silkworm chrysalis to the people here. The people on the island originally wanted to rob ships. Thoughts also became a little unsteady, which was exactly the result Gao Chang wanted.

With Gao Chang's current strength, they don't have to worry about what these people think. If they plan to rob, they can wait until the other party puts the robbery into practice before killing them.But Gao Chang didn't want to do this. It's not easy for everyone these days. The people on this small island are not evil people. Considering their current living conditions, it is understandable to want to grab a boat.

Gao Chang tried his best to avoid unnecessary fights, but he didn't want these islanders to end up ruining their lives because of their petty greed. Once a conflict occurs, casualties are always inevitable.

Maybe it was Gao Chang's generosity that moved these people, maybe it was because the gun in his hand calmed them down, in short, the subsequent transaction went very smoothly.The men on the island kept carrying tobacco from the cave to the sea, while Gao Chang and Da Huang rowed a boat to move the tobacco to their ship.Those frail women and children gathered around Suobo and kept asking about the precautions for raising silkworms. They even set up an iron pot by the sea to boil water, and asked him to demonstrate the silk reeling process.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, Gao Chang and the others completed the transaction ahead of schedule. Ten tons of shredded tobacco were neatly stacked on the deck. After their ship left the island, they slowly sorted it out and moved it into the cabin.In order to thank the slug mother and child for their care during this time, Gao Chang filled him with a bag full of candies in a cloth bag, and put it on the ground almost as high as the slug, making the guy grinning and giggling non-stop.

Before leaving, the islanders gave Gao Chang a lot of things, including home-baked and dried fruit, and carefully sewn fish skin soft boots. Among them, the slug's mother even secretly stuffed three boots for Gao Chang. The chubby sea pearl said that it was thanks to Gao Chang for taking care of his son during this period of time.

The old man who was regarded as the leader by the islanders, after watching Sobo demonstrate the silk reeling technique to the islanders, directed the men to continue to carry [-] boxes of shredded tobacco up the mountain, and gave it to Gao Chang for free as a gift.As a leader, sometimes it is inevitable to make some decisions against his will for the benefit of the islanders, but he himself is not a stingy person.

When the ship gradually left the coast, Gao Chang stood on the high cockpit, watching the people on the shore who had not left, and kept waving to them to say goodbye.This way of ending the game couldn't be better, Gao Chang thought to himself.
