Standing next to Xiao Letian was Zai Chun, who was dressed in casual clothes and preparing to go ashore to play together. When he heard that there was a quarrel, the child immediately became angry and rushed forward before Xiao Letian could say anything. Tian ""Lai Novel"． 』⒉
"What's going on? What's the reason for the quarrel? Let me comment..."
When the chefs around saw that it was His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, they did not dare to neglect and quickly kowtowed and said, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
The cooks were all national chefs invited by Xiao Letian from Jiangnan and other places. There were also several famous Fuso chefs, plus several local Ryukyu chefs. Their awe for the imperial power was still very strong. Emperor Tongzhi was so frightened that he knelt down. He didn't even dare to raise his head from the ground.
A British captain opposite was also dumbfounded. When he knew that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was opposite him, he immediately stood at attention and saluted without even daring to blink.
The busiest person in supplying the fleet is Interior Chief Kim Sam-soon. He is in charge of the material consumption data of the entire fleet. All purchase orders and personnel rotation work are placed on his shoulders.
As soon as his Majesty came over, Jin Sanshun quickly laughed and said, "Your Majesty is really laughing. These British people are really too rigid. They know how to work according to the flow chart. They just don't do it when I ask them to add a ship to transport people..."
It turns out that the root of the problem lies with Xiao Letian's entourage.
Xiao Letian is very clear about the historical positioning of this visit to Europe. This is the first king-level state visit to Asia and Europe in thousands of years. Taking the opportunity to work with Prussia in France is one of his tasks. At the same time, promoting Eastern culture is also a top priority. .
Therefore, in this expedition team, there are not only soldiers but also a large number of entourage, such as China's top chefs, folk artists, jugglers, beautiful singers and bands, etc... There are even precious gifts from the East. A boat.
Soldiers have received strict military training. They have a hard-working spirit and a strong body. They can survive a long life at sea, but these attendants can't stand it.
Especially this group of chefs, because their skills are so good, all the British officials who ate were like greedy cats. The most exaggerated one was that a party of fifteen people ate fourteen servings of lousy fish fillets, and the chef in charge was very tired. They almost stuck out their tongues.
Nearly a quarter of the chef team of more than 100 people fell ill due to seasickness and heatstroke. Now that they finally saw Lu Di, these people were going crazy.
Jin Sanshun was in charge of these chefs, and he did not dare to offend these master chefs who were in charge of everyone's jobs, so he had to agree to everyone's request and be allowed to go ashore to rest for two days.
However, the Zhiyuan was not anchored on the trestle but anchored in the open sea. If you wanted to go ashore, you would need a ferry boat to ferry you. However, the British were too stubborn and refused to provide this boat. The group of people started to quarrel every time they went back and forth.
"Your Majesty! Please comment. They claim to welcome us, but they don't even provide a ferry boat. There are so many boats on the sea and there are so many boats that they can't even get out? Aren't they looking down on us Chinese..."
"It's just that these days we are just eating. You officers should have come to us to solve the problem. What you eat every day turns into fat pigs. You don't recognize this kind of kindness. Could it be that all our good food is fed to the dogs?" ?”
The British captain didn't understand the curse, but he knew it was not a good word. He said angrily, "No, no, no... We must follow the plan. The supply task for such a huge fleet is too difficult! We can't fight." Chaos rhythm..."
"Every ship is precious. We must ensure the supplies of your more than 40 warships within three days... What can I do!"
A group of people cursed in Chinese, and one person spoke in English. The whole scene was a quarrel between chickens and ducks.
Zai Chun was also confused. When he saw that both sides actually made sense, what should he do? You can't help but pity your own people, and you can't say that the British are wrong in supplying supplies. Zai Chun scratched his head and couldn't come up with an answer.
Only Xiao Letian looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. He had mixed feelings in his heart, "Okay! A group of cooks from the Qing Dynasty just walked around the sea and looked at the customs and customs of dozens of small countries. Dare to challenge the British!"
"Recall that when we were in China, the people were so frightened when they saw foreigners. Even the officials were cowered and at a loss. Wherever the foreigners seemed to be waiting for the citizens, even the officials had to be careful..."
"But now, a group of cooks are brave enough to reason around a British captain, and even dare to call them bastards! What a gap..."
"Why is this happening? It's not because of yesterday's shot. It's precisely because all the Chinese people saw that shot with their own eyes, that shot that tore the enemy's painting into pieces. This nailed a nail into the back of the Chinese people. A nail gives me confidence!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian smiled and stepped forward to rescue the siege. "Okay, don't make it difficult for the British. They have spent all their money on our supplies. Everyone will get on the ship with me. The Adventure King will take us to Gallegu." Fort ashore!”
"Xie Yuan! Xie Yuan..." The chefs who had been noisy just now burst into laughter. The captain was finally relieved, and he stood at attention and saluted Xiao Letian gratefully.
Three days of rest is very rare, and everyone knows that the next resting place after setting sail again will be somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
There are countless people looking for connections with Kim Sam-soon these days. Who makes Kim Sam-soon the chief of internal affairs? All vacation forms must be signed by him before they can take effect.
The soldiers who got the leave were smiling happily as they waited for the ferry to arrive. Those who didn't get the leave didn't have to worry. At least they had three times the military pay during the three days on duty.
When the Adventure King carried everyone to the land of Sri Lanka, the first batch of soldiers on leave had also begun to disembark.
As soon as we landed, the exotic scenery deeply attracted everyone. The blue sky, blue sea, reef beaches, and cliffs tens of meters high. The stone lighthouse built by the Portuguese five hundred years ago is still in use. The solid stone of Galle The fort is located on a high ground, and the shore defense artillery is pointed at the sea vigilantly.
There are thick green shades everywhere, seabirds are circling in the sky, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of fruits and the unique taste of Sri Lanka’s specialty citronella oil.
Zai Chun and Shang Tai looked at everything in front of them with wide eyes, especially the two big and round guards behind Shang Tai who were carrying cameras and tripods for him. They had a great time snapping pictures of everything they saw.
Just as a group of people were strolling freely on the streets of Galle, a sudden roar erupted from the pier not far away. A tsunami erupted. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that thousands of local people were besieging the Chinese who had just landed ashore like crazy. army.
"No! Master, look, our brother is besieged by the local people! What to do..." Zai Chun shouted.
