0382 The Braggard

An inconspicuous Brigentina slowly shook into the port of Mombasa with clear waves.

She looked like an old boat, and although each part seemed very new when separated, even the hull plates showed obvious color difference, not to mention the canvas of the same texture but colorful.

The owner of the ship is obviously a relatively affordable pragmatist, paying attention to the maintenance of the ship's condition, and he is willing to replace the parts if there is a slight difference.

But he should also have the identity of a traveler, because the processing methods of the same shipyard are rarely changed, and the finished products processed will not be so different in any case.

According to the truth, such people are the most generous...

The bow of the ship hit the shore, and the pilot hurriedly greeted him with the warmest smile. Before the ship board was put down, he was already waiting on the plank road.

There was a man and a woman coming down from the ship. The man was a handsome gentleman who seemed to have Western European blood. However, the pilot was the most knowledgeable and knew very well that no race on the Iberian Peninsula was surprising. Only those who could judge their hometowns by their appearance were those ancient nobles with a long history.

All nobles are stingy. This person is not a noble, but the second good news today.

As for women...

A woman is definitely not a peninsula, and she cannot even be a European.

Her yellow skin was white and translucent, completely different from the lowly and dull burnt yellow skin of the Indians in the New World.

Her petite body is elegant and exquisite. She is wrapped in a long silk skirt with tightened curves. It is neither protruding nor curled, but just by holding the slender waist of the wind and swinging willows, she easily captured all the sight on the dock.

The pilot even felt that the noisy pier became quiet the moment the woman got off the boat.

He would not know that what attracts Xiao Sanmei is actually the unique rhyme of the East in this era.

Civilization and barbarity, openness and conservatism are woven into silk like latitudes, cut into battle and deliberately simplified the modified flag suit. It is matched with Xiao Sanmei's unique appearance that can be appreciated by the East and the West. Because she acted separately from Pierce, she made this charm look particularly thrilling.

The pilot quietly moved his eyes away and tried to refocus his attention on the gentleman.

He is fighting against his black slave.

"Hashim, thoroughly check the lights on the ship, and then watch the sailors clean the inside and out of the cabin. We clearly signed the contract for those lazy things, but they did not wax them every day at sea! If this carelessness hurts my baby, tell them that the dismissal is light, and these savages can't take a copper plate from my hand!"

"Yes, lord." Hashem lowered his head and expressed his respect and restraint as much as possible. "After doing this, I will take care of your baby as usual. No one will have a chance to board the ship until you come back."

"Sare the ship?" The gentleman seemed to have heard some superb joke, and took off his whip from his waist and whipped Hashem's feet. "You are a slut! This is Mombasa, the land that is shining with our Portuguese authority! My baby will be very safe here, you just need to worry about my breakfast tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, if I can't eat the crispy egg tart on time, I will make your brain into egg tart!"

"But I have no way of knowing which hotel you will stay in..."

"Of course it's the best!" the gentleman roared hysterically, "Take my wine off the boat, go to the best hotel, find the best room, I will definitely be there."

"Yes, Master..."

He taught the slave who wanted to cheat and cheat. The gentleman turned around happily, rolled his whip and walked down.

The pilot had been stunned for a long time and forgot to react to the gentleman's approach.

When he woke up, the gentleman had already got off the board, only three or five meters away from him. He shuddered suddenly, thinking that a slander was inevitable.

Who knows...Ding!

The unique clear sound of the brittle gold, with the special aftertaste of trembling in the wind, pulled him out of his fear half.

He subconsciously reached out and bent over, and he clamped it with only two fingers before the gold coins fell to the ground.

"Beautiful reception, sir!" the gentleman cheered.

The pilot quickly picked up the gold coin with both hands, lowered his head and bowed: "Sir, you... your gold coin."

"This is your tip, sir."

"The Port Authority stipulates that pilots are not allowed to tip, sir."

"Refusing to accept tips?" The gentleman reacted for a long time and suddenly realized, "Sir, how long have you been doing this business?"

"Nine months, sir."

“It seems you need to get more contact with your customers, chat with them, and listen to their thoughts.”

"Please understand the hardships of a civilized man working hard outside. On the sea, the boat is an isolated island. There are not even a civilized Portuguese on this island. They are all perverts from France, Spanish farmers, and desperadoes on the British Islands!"

"I have to turn myself into a wild wolf. If I weren't fierce enough, those little bones would have swallowed me alive. How could I come from the horses and cats to this beautiful port of Mombasa?"

"Are you from Makao?" The young pilot was immediately attracted by attention, "Makao is the one in Dongfang..."

"Beautiful salt drying land, a milestone of civilization. The Portuguese were the first powerful nation in the white world to conquer the Qing Dynasty in the East. Only Portugal can make that powerful empire that is wider than the entire Europe willingly hand over its land!"

"Uh... maybe, right? But I seem to hear that we are just allowed to live in the south of that bay..."

"It is the South!" The gentleman spoke in the thick and unsightly dialect of Beya, and repeatedly emphasized with a fanatical expression and body, "We have our own governor, our own territory, we respect God in the church, and convene the courts with Portuguese law... When did the people living in the guest have such treatment? We are the masters there!"

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Piloters are most afraid of dealing with such crazy believers. They are moody and kill people at any time. Even if they make a big mistake, they will confidently say that they are in God's will.

So he quickly changed the subject.

"Sir, is this beautiful lady beside you..."

"She is Xiao. I saved the life of Governor Makao's Eastern Governor in a hunting game. Xiao is his gift to me, my bodyguard."

"Such a beautiful and delicate lady... a bodyguard?"

The gentleman immediately smiled lewdly: "24-hour protection is the real protection. But unless you are willing to fencing, the only ones in this world who can do this are Qing and Japanese women. Either go to Makao or Nagasaki, or even if you search through the slave markets all over the world, you will not be able to get what you want!"

The pilot was envious.

This time, it was not perfunctory envy, but real envy. He praised from the bottom of his heart: "You are so lucky and brave, you actually saved the life of the Governor Makao Oriental. I heard that they brought at least 500 people when they went out."

"The legend is true!" The gentleman jingled and popped up another gold coin, which fell accurately on the pilot's open clothes. "They are powerful and there are armys following them when they go out, but that time he provoked the sea dragon. That huge beast like an octopus could only shut up with cannons, so his guards were powerless, and they all depended on my cauldron to help, so they escaped by chance."

"Wow……"

"Even if my adventure story can't be finished for three days and three nights, you can come to me at any time. Now, the young man, tell me where is the best hotel in town?"

For the sake of two gold coins, the pilot thought desperately, "The best hotel of course belongs to the Gondor Chamber of Commerce. Their black gold hotel is a small independent castle near the sea, not only luxurious but also sturdy."

"Is there... huh? Interesting project?"

"interesting?"

"A true Portuguese woman, be enthusiastic and loud! Money is not a problem. Saving the Oriental Admiral brought me not only a female bodyguard who even the king would envy, but also gold coins that I can never spend in my life!"

The pilot looked at the gentleman like a monster: "If you want the best prostitute, she runs a drugstore in town..."

"Are they Portuguese? It's been more than a year, and in my heart, only Portuguese women can be called perfect women."

"Portuguese prostitutes... There is a ready-to-wear shop to the south of the Town Hall Garden. The closest hotel is the Town Hall Park Hotel. Although it is also good, it is far from the black gold of the Gondor Chamber of Commerce."

"I think I can set up a room in both places." The gentleman laughed and raised his hand to pop up the third gold coin, "My name is Minsey Hausen, remember me, young man. By the way, please convey to the lowly black slave on the ship. Don't forget my egg tart, that is the only value God allows him to live!"
