Chapter 838: In the West in the Middle Ages, cities did not have public toilets!
Port Royal?
Isn’t that where the first part begins? I just don’t know if the plot has started yet?
Because Hao Shuai asked again: "So the governor here is Governor Weatherby Swann?"
"Yes, sir!" replied the Sheriff.
"Very good~~ Then if you can tell me what interesting things happened here recently, then these two gold coins will be yours!"
After saying that, the two gold coins in Hao Shuai's hand glowed charmingly under the setting sun.
"Sir, nothing has happened in Port Royal recently. If I want to talk about something interesting, it is that Commodore Norrington captured an interesting pirate today, and the pirate also saved Miss Elizabeth." The Sheriff's eyes were fixed on the gold coins, and he mouthed
Li said.
"Interesting pirate? He also saved Elizabeth? Isn't this the beginning of the plot?" Hao Shuai was a little surprised at his luck this time. Could it be because he brought Serena here?
Thinking of this, Hao Shuai's mood instantly improved and he nodded slightly to the Sheriff: "Thank you for your answer, this is your reward."
Hao Shuai gently stretched out his hand. The Sheriff's breathing became rapid and he quickly held his hands in a gesture of receiving.
The next second, the sound of gold coins colliding was heard, and the sheriff's eyes instantly narrowed. These were two charming gold coins.
"Oh, my God, thank you for your generosity, sir. Sheriff Butler, I am always ready to serve you, distinguished gentleman." The sheriff said humbly.
Although the Sheriff is responsible for managing the entire dock and is also responsible for collecting taxes, the taxes belong to the Governor, and he can only receive the Weibo salary every month.
And despite the fact that the Great Eagle Empire is now rich and plundering everywhere, most of the wealth has fallen into the hands of the upper class. As a low-level sheriff, he is not even qualified to drink soup.
Therefore, let alone gold coins, he didn't even have a few silver coins. No wonder the Sheriff looked like he wanted to lie down and kiss Hao Shuai's shoes.
After grasping the time node, Hao Shuai and Serena left the dock and walked towards the city.
…
Dilapidated houses, dirty streets, the smell of fish and biological excrement intertwined in the air. Most of the pedestrians on the street were in ragged clothes. Occasionally, they passed by a team wearing red uniforms and tight pants, carrying old-fashioned muskets.
lobster soldier.
This is what Port Royal looked like in the 18th century.
Although he had expected it, when the pungent odor hit Hao Shuai's nose, he couldn't help but cursed inwardly, "Oh Shete!"
On the contrary, Serena next to her was not surprised by this.
According to Serena, after the Middle Ages, Europeans regarded bathing as the source of depravity. The originally very popular bathing culture was due to rumors that bathing would expand pores and facilitate bacterial invasion. This rumor made Europeans reluctant to
Then take a bath, there are many people who never take a bath throughout their lives, including European monarchs such as Charlemagne and Queen Victoria.
Because they did not bathe often, in order to cover up the odor on their bodies, they needed a lot of spices, and Asia produced spices, so colonialism slowly formed. Maybe China's vast land and abundant resources limited the pace of external expansion.
Moreover, people in this era will not tell you about public morals that prohibit open defecation. Even nobles and kings do the same. Even kings defecate anywhere.
It is said that the French court had no toilets or toilets, so the nobles settled in the bushes.
Anyway, Hao Shuai looked at the dirt all over the street and couldn't stand it. In the end, he wrapped his whole body with true energy to prevent him from stepping on the excrement that might fall from the sky at any time.
He also switched his breathing to internal breathing, otherwise he was really afraid that after taking two more breaths, even his invulnerable body would not be able to withstand the environment here.
Pedestrians on the road saw the bright clothes of Hao Shuai and the two men, and almost all dared to approach them. Even the lobster soldiers passing by would salute the two.
"Darling, what are we doing now?" Serena asked curiously when she saw Hao Shuai walking aimlessly on the street.
"Wait~~" Hao Shuai said: "When the night is dark and the wind is high, interesting things will happen here."
"Are you just going to wait?"
"How about we go sit in a tavern? I'm quite interested in taverns of this period." Hao Shuai suggested.
In the Western world, Hao Shuai always felt that this tavern played the same role as the inns in the Eastern martial arts world, serving as a news distribution center.
After all, I have come here, and I still want to see something and satisfy my curiosity.
"Darling, to be honest, I hope you won't be too disappointed after reading it." Serena reminded her kindly.
"How would you know if you don't look?"
Hao Shuai looked at the street and found the sign of the tavern, which was a wooden sign with a wine glass painted on it, simple and clear.
Jingle Bell
Pushing open the door of the tavern, the wind chimes suddenly rang.
The noisy environment, tobacco, alcohol, sweat, and the low-quality perfume sprayed on the women's bodies all mixed together to form a strange smell. Especially during this period, Europeans did not like to take baths. It was simply a biochemical poisonous gas.
The sound of the tavern band playing in a corner has been drowned out by the noise, but the few performers are still entertaining themselves, playing violins and accordions, and playing on their own.
For a moment, Hao Shuai wanted to turn around and leave, but looking at Serena who was smiling but not smiling next to him, Hao Shuai still had to go in anyway.
The moment Hao Shuai and the two entered the tavern, the originally noisy tavern quickly fell silent. Although the music continued, all eyes were fixed on the two people standing at the door.
Hao Shuai didn't bother to pay attention to everyone's gazes, and took Serena to the bar and ordered a glass of the famous rum.
Rum is a distilled liquor produced from sugar cane molasses. It is also called sugar wine, rum, and rum. It originates from Cuba and has a sweet taste and fragrant aroma.
Moreover, rum developed and became popular during the slave trade period, and later replaced whiskey and gained the title of "pirate wine".
Hao Shuai actually came to the pirate world, so naturally he had to follow the Romans and drink a glass of original rum.
"Hey~ look, what did I find? Two fat sheep, suspected of being nobles, appeared in a cheap tavern. Could it be that they are two young ladies who eloped?"
"Hey, you have to be careful what you say. Just look at their clothes and you will know that they are not ordinary nobles. If you offend them, you may die without knowing it."
"I'm just talking, but that girl is so pretty~~I really want to~~hehe~~"
While Hao Shuai was waiting for his drink, the tavern finally became noisy again, but this time the focus of everyone's discussion was on Hao Shuai and Serena.
Fortunately, they only talked about it, but in fact no one dared to take action.
This is Port Royal, not a boundless sea, nor a chaotic pirate gathering place. If you offend a noble here casually, the royal soldiers on the island will teach you how to be a good person in minutes. The lightest one is a whip, and the most serious one is a whip.
Just start shooting you.
