Chapter 169 Seafood and Spoils

A month passed, and all the crew members on the Jackdaw were almost happy on land. They spent a lot of gold coins in their pockets, and what's more, they were already in debt when they returned.

Zhang Heng doesn't know how that guy did it. Last time he went to sea, everyone got at least 40 gold coins. This money is enough for ordinary people to live a good life for two or three years. But on the bright side, These guys are now becoming hungry again, and they all miss the breath of the sea.

And it just so happened that Karina also brought back some valuable information this time, so the Jackdaw set sail again after a period of repairs and personnel replenishment.

At the same time, the businesswomen and black gladiators who remained in Nassau also took action.

Before the Black Merchants Alliance made a move, Karina launched an offensive first. She rented a warehouse by the pier, and then sent a message to the small and medium pirates on the island, expressing her willingness to buy them at a more favorable price than the Black Merchants Alliance. Get the loot.

This news has attracted the attention of many people on the island. Although Karina is a woman and has just landed on the island, with the help of Jackdaw's dream maiden voyage last time, as a partner, she has also begun to be recognized by more people. know.

Especially among small and medium-sized pirates, everyone knows that there are other channels outside the Black Merchant Alliance that can sell loot. For these people, the Black Merchant Alliance is not as polite as it treats those powerful pirates, because they can't get anything by themselves. Valuable things, so the purchase price given is very low.

Moreover, no agreement was signed between the two parties. Karina's choice of them as the target quickly achieved results, but the captain of the Breeze, Ma Long, looked at the long queue in front of the warehouse, but he couldn't laugh or cry.

Most of those guys were dressed in tatters and had various weapons. Although they all called themselves pirates, they looked more like beggars and punks to Malone.

One can imagine what kind of loot these guys have to offer.

An old pirate walked to the table tremblingly, and Malone even suspected that the other party was older than his great-grandfather who had been buried for many years.

The old pirate put a basket of crabs on the table under the puzzled eyes of the bookkeeper.

The latter had no choice but to point to the sign behind him that said second-hand goods exchange, and said politely, "Sorry, sir, we don't accept seafood."

"Be careful with your words, kid. When I was your age in Nassau, everyone knew everyone. Even Henry Morgan would be polite when he saw me. This is the spoils I snatched from the sea this time. "The old pirate warned.

"But... this doesn't change the fact that they are seafood, sir." The young bookkeeper said frankly.

Ma Long knew that guy, his name was Jim, and he personally recruited him onto the ship last year. It is not easy to find someone who can read and write, and the latter has been working hard. Some time ago, the news of Mr. Fagan's accident came out. , More than half of the crew on the Breeze ran away, and what Malone didn't expect was that Jim, the best person to find a job, stayed instead.

After making money this time, the first thing Malone did was to ask Karina to raise the wages of this South Carolina guy, but right now he was leaning against the gate of the warehouse, watching the latter work hard. Explaining the difference between seafood and spoils to the other party is beyond help.

"I snatched it from those fishermen, so it is a trophy. Your boss said you bought the trophy, and this is my trophy." The old pirate stared and said loudly, "Is there any problem?! "

Sweat dripped from Jim's forehead, "I think there may be some misunderstanding, sir."

The businesswoman on the side couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that the other pirates behind the team showed signs of impatience, she told the bookkeeper, "Give him five copper sopees, we'll accept this thing, let the next person quickly come over."

Jim also showed a look of relief when he heard the words, and he sent away the dissatisfied old pirate muttering about vampires, and the next pirate who came over took out two glass balls from his pocket.

"This is really a complete disaster." Malone muttered to himself, and then he said to Karina who came over to catch her breath, "Do you know that no matter which colonial port we pull these things to, they will definitely not be sold? ?Didn't we discuss this when you first came to Nassau, we didn't make any money on these guys, I thought we had a consensus, why are you spending energy on these guys now?

The captain of the transport ship sighed, and continued, "With all due respect, I think what we are doing now is just a waste of time. With this kind of money, it would be better to let a poor kid like Jim, who works so hard, work in the theater on the island." Be happy, look at him, I bet he's still a baby."

"Thank you for reminding me, I know how to tell if the goods are valuable, Captain Malone." The businesswoman said, "If you can find a second Jackdaw on the island to cooperate with us, then I will be happy to send all those guys over there Drive away, if you can’t, just keep your mouth shut, if you’re really bored, either go to a brothel to find a prostitute to fuck yourself, or come over to help.”

"I still prefer the former." Ma Long lowered his hands on his chest and was about to slip away, but he stopped after taking a few steps, "Is it my hearing problem, or did you really say fuck yourself just now?" These three words."

"Is there a problem?" Karina asked back.

"I just remembered the scene when Mr. Fagan took you aboard the Breeze for the first time. How old were you at that time, eight or nine years old? Dressed up like a china doll, you held up your skirt and kept it from Touching the deck of the ship, as if it was dirty there, I frowned the whole time, just wanted to end it quickly, I can't imagine that little lady back then would become what she is today, you really did it, Miss Karina , began to accept and integrate into this place, and faster than anyone imagined, your father will be proud of you." Ma Long said with emotion.

"It's still early. It's not easy to survive in this place. Especially our current opponent is still a giant. I have to rack my brains to gain a little breathing space."

The businesswoman paused, "But thank you, Uncle Malone, for not leaving our house even after what happened."

Ma Long waved his hand, "Mr. Fagan gave me this job when I was at my worst, and I will never forget this kindness, but now, I don't want to waste energy on meaningless things, so Let’s go to the brothel to find a prostitute to fuck myself.”
