Red Chamber: After lying down completely, Daiyu fell in love with her

"This was discovered when our fleet passed through a continent. We found that this thing is a kind of food, and then we picked more."

"That continent is really far away."

Hearing this, Jia Jue also understood that the Westerner in front of him should have been to South America.

It was probably the potatoes he found there. Obviously, he just used this thing as food and didn't think of planting it.

Maybe they don't know how to grow at all.

"How much of this food do you have left on board?"

Jia Jue asked the Westerner.

Hearing this, the Westerner took another mouthful of noodles and said:

"This is the last one. Our ship sank in a storm, and I was the only one who survived."

Chapter 241 Fooling Westerners, Get Potatoes

At this time, the Westerner has not realized the importance of potatoes, they just use them as food.

But Jia Jue is different. God Dynasty has potatoes, so he no longer has to worry about famine.

But there is only one potato at present, which really bothers him a little.

For this kind of thing, of course, the more the better, but judging from the current situation, we can only cultivate it by ourselves temporarily.

However, this thing still needs a cultivation cycle. Seeing that there is no oil on the Westerners, he can only give up.

After all, he prefers South American sea charts to potatoes.

Obviously, this Westerner did not.

Jia Jue played with the potato in his right hand and said:

"I wonder if you have a sea chart of that continent in your hand?"

Hearing this, the Westerner obviously tightened his face, he was afraid that Jia Jue would ask this question.

Haitu's East "April [-]" West is priceless, and it cannot be solved by a small bowl of noodles.

After all, having a sea chart is like having a compass. According to the sea map, you can directly find South America.

"My lord, we have lost the chart during the voyage."

"So unfortunately, I don't have the chart you mentioned."

The Westerner said to Jia Jue respectfully.

He had a good impression of Jia Jue, he not only treated himself to a bowl of noodles, he didn't snatch his chart, but asked.

But he really didn't have this kind of thing on him, if he had, he would have given it to Jia Jue for something to eat.

That's right, just change things to eat.

Now the biggest wish of Westerners is to have a full meal.

Jia Jue had no choice but to give up when he heard that the Westerners had no charts on them.

After throwing down a few taels of silver, he was about to leave. The Westerner was overjoyed when he saw the silver, and he could tell that the young man in front of him was extraordinary.

But he didn't know what reason he had to keep Jia Jue, and in the end he broke his heart and said to Jia Jue:

"My lord, although I don't have a chart, I know how to go to my hometown. There is an urgent need for silk, porcelain and other items. Maybe I can help you."

Hearing this, Jia Jue frowned slightly.

Seems like a good idea.

You must know that the Li family in Jiangnan made their fortune by importing and exporting silk and porcelain. This business is simply huge profits.

Although you can often meet pirates, you may lose everything.

But if you can return safely, you can make more than ten times the profit.

This is also the reason why many desperadoes in coastal areas choose to go to sea.

As long as he can come back smoothly, the profits he can make will be enough for him to live comfortably for several years.

Jia Jue said to the Westerner with some doubts:

"You don't have a sea chart, can you recruit your own country with your memory?"

Hearing Jia Jue's question, the Westerner obviously became embarrassed.

It really can't, after all, when he came to Shenchao, he didn't take the route opened by their country.

Now it is obviously impossible for him to find the position of his country in the vast sea by feeling.

Seeing the Westerner shaking his head, Jia Jue was disappointed for a while.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

Turning around and asking:

"What country are you from?"

The Westerners were also unambiguous, and quickly said that they came from the British Empire.

Good guy, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.

He happened to have a sea chart of the British Empire in his hand. When he was in Shenjing, he copied the house of Zhongyong Hou Zhao Qing, and met the golden-haired woman Liena, who promised to get the sea chart and send her home.

This is not killing two birds with one stone.

"If I give you a sea chart, can you sail to the British Empire smoothly?"

Jia Jue asked the Westerner with a majestic posture.

The Westerner nodded hurriedly. He had a premonition that this was his chance.

At least if you grasp it yourself, you may soar into the sky.

The Westerner's name is Peter, and like Lena, he has a dream of sailing.

"I have a sea chart here. If I give it to you, can you guarantee that the goods will be delivered to your hometown?"

Jia Jue shook the paper fan in his hand and said.

When Peter heard this, there was a look of shock in his eyes.

He didn't expect that the young man in front of him actually had a sea chart, which was really an unexpected surprise.

In this case, not only can he return to his hometown, but he can even make a small fortune?

For Peter, allegiance has never been in his eyes, only wealth.

"really?"

"Do you really have a chart in your hand?"

Peter asked Jia Jue excitedly.

Hearing this, Jia Jue saw through the caution in Peter's eyes.

Since he has the confidence to hand over the chart to the Westerner in front of him, there is naturally a way to suppress it. Jia Jue nodded confidently.

"My lord, my name is Peter, and I would like to be a member of your subordinates."

Hearing that Jia Jue had a nautical chart, Peter immediately made another gesture.

Who wants to stay in a foreign country when they can go back to their hometown.

Although the gods are rich, Peter is always a stranger here.

For today's situation, let alone.

After learning everything, Jia Jue asked Xu Chu to take Peter back to the Lin Mansion, while he went to the cloth shop to find Lin Daiyu.

The person who agreed to go shopping with her today will naturally fulfill his promise.

When I came to the cloth shop, I happened to see Daiyu picking and choosing.

Jia Jue walked over and patted Daiyu on the head lightly, saying:

"You little girl, you are so busy choosing for yourself, you didn't choose some cloth for me?"

Daiyu felt the pain in the back of her head, and said to Jia Jue with a charming face:

"Third brother, she is a big girl now, you can't beat her on the head."

"If you do this again, I won't make clothes for you."

Hearing this, Jia Jue felt embarrassed, and said:

"You little girl is really clever. I'm just short of time. You made me lose my clothes."

After speaking, he began to ask the maid Xueyan behind him.

Xueyan just covered her mouth and chuckled without speaking, and the scene burst into joy.

Half an hour later, Jia Jue and Daiyu walked out of the cloth shop.

The two wandered around for another afternoon, but Jia Jue was exhausted.

3.6 Back in the Lin Mansion, after hearing Xu Chu's report, he arranged for the Westerner Peter to live in a courtyard in the Lin Mansion.

Now that he doesn't have a chart in his hand, Jia Jue decides to leave that Peter alone.

The most important thing now is to deal with the Li family in Jiangnan.

In the evening, Jia Jue brought Xu Chu and Qingniao to the living room.

Lin Ruhai had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Jia Jue coming in, he just nodded slightly.

Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with the prospective son-in-law in front of him.

Look at Lin Can who is kneeling beside him, the disgust in his eyes has never been hidden.

Jia Jue walked to the middle of the hall, picked up a cup of tea and drank it naturally.

Turning to Lin Ruhai and said:

"Uncle, how are you getting ready?"

Lin Ruhai nodded lightly, everything was ready.

Chapter 242 Lin Ruhai's poison was actually caused by the Li family

Hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Jia Jue had the bottom line.

After all, Jia Jue was very relieved when Lin Ruhai was on duty for many years as the censor.

Who made him his father-in-law? If you don't believe him, who can you trust.

Thinking of the word father-in-law, I feel a little bit of joy inexplicably.

Lin Ruhai noticed Jia Jue's eyes and always felt very uncomfortable.

Jia Jue shouldn't have to prepare everything, he is drinking tea in this hall honestly and leisurely.

But now is not the time to dwell on such details.

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly and said:

"I won't go at night, you can go by yourself."

"Lin Can's life doesn't need to be taken deliberately, everything is his creation."

Only at this time did Lin Ruhai reveal his heroic side.

It is absolutely impossible to be able to sit on the throne of Jiangnan patrol salt censor without two brushes.

Jia Jue nodded lightly and said:

"It all depends on his good luck, but if the Westerner in the house wants to look after me, I will be of great use."

Lin Ruhai wondered in front of him, Westerners are not uncommon in Yangzhou, you can just pick one up on the street, why Jia Jue is so precious.

Although 26 was somewhat puzzled, Lin Ruhai still nodded.
