Chapter 999: Poetry and the Distance

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!

To some extent, the cost of canned glass bottles is actually no cheaper than the pears or meat inside.

In this era, no matter how mass-produced, the cost of glass bottles is not low.

However, it is not without solutions.

The approach taken by the cannery is recycling.

That is to say, the cans are sold, and when they are finished, the glass bottles will be recycled at a price of five cents each.

For many people, it is expensive to buy a can, but it is acceptable to return the bottle after eating.

For ships that go out to sea, cans and bottles can still be recycled, as long as you remember to bring back the glass bottles when you return to the voyage.

But usually, these glass bottles are thrown back into the sea.

Because for the returning ship, every loading space is very precious, some can be piled up with gold and silver, and some can be used to store spices, this glass bottle takes up a lot of space, even if it is recycled, the value is not high.

The profits of sailing to sea are too great, especially when the fleet finds a new route.

At this time, Zhang Chen curled up at the stern, his wife and six-year-old child squatted in the corner at the same time.

He is one of the most ordinary military households, an ordinary Xiao Ding from Laizhou Weili, Shandong Province. There are three members of his family, all of them are pale and thin. more revealed.

He took six cans, and he looked very defensive, as if he was afraid that others would snatch them away.

Looking at this crystal clear thing, the woman was still wiping away her tears as soon as the thing was put away.

This is going to guard again.

I still don't know how hard it will be. I heard that when Emperor Taizu Gao, a distant relative of mine went to Yunnan with the Duke of Qian, and then guarded there. It didn't take long before there was no news. After inquiring, Fang Zhizhi had already contracted a bad disease and died, but there was a child who was later rebelled by the natives and died in the rebellion.

This is a very long time ago, but for many women, leaving their homes and guarding the far west is almost a disaster.

Although rumors of getting rich overseas can be heard from time to time, this thing is far away in the sky after all.

"Okay, don't cry, you mother-in-law know how to cry." Zhang Chen looked impatient.

The woman was still weeping, wiping her tears, and said: "I heard that on this journey, three or four adults will die, and the dog is still young... On this boat, if you offend the Dragon King, you will be called out every day, and you will be called out." The ground is not working, and I don’t know what it looks like.”

Zhang Chen is very irritable. In fact, he is more scared than her in his heart, but now, he can only embolden himself: "Mr. Bing, didn’t the Duke of Lu also board the ship himself, he is not afraid, what are we afraid of? Ah, why can’t we untangle this.”

As Zhang Chen said, he twisted the lid of the can desperately, grinning with all his might.

The mother-in-law cried again: "At home, I can still have a bite of hot rice, but on the boat, I eat this."

Zhang Chen was extremely irritable: "Is that our home? How many acres of land do we have? It's the land of a hundred officials above, what does it matter to us?"

Boom...

The can was finally opened.

Seeing that it seemed to be full of meat soaked in sauce, Zhang Chen poked his head, his son Gou'er hurriedly came up to it, salivating, wanting to eat.

Zhang Chen looked cautious, and said sullenly, "I'll eat first."

Let's talk, he took out something that looked like a piece of meat with his fingers, and then he gently took it in...

Suddenly... the taste of the sauce was surprisingly good.

Usually, there is really not much food in the guard. Most of the food grown has to be paid to the officials of the hundred households. It will be good if you don’t starve to death for half a year and starve for half a year...

Immediately, what Zhang Chen felt was a fresh and tender taste. He took a bite and shivered involuntarily. The piece of meat slipped into his throat before he could chew it.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt distressed, because...he had never eaten such a thing in his life.

"Quick, dog, come and taste."

Zhang Chen quickly picked up the sliced ​​meat in the can and carefully handed it to his son.

The dog hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, he was so hungry, he chewed desperately, like a hungry wolf cub.

"Delicious, delicious." The dog stared at the can while eating.

On the whole ship, people who had already started to eat canned food became enthusiastic.

Some people, even eating meat for the first time, squatted down and lowered their heads, and there were crackling and snapping sounds everywhere.

Zhang Chen took a piece for his mother-in-law...

After giving another piece of dog, he carefully tore off half a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hot tears fell from Zhang Chen's eyes unexpectedly.

The stimulated taste buds, as well as the twitching of the stomach, made him feel hungrier as he ate more. Most importantly, he saw the contented face of the dog, his wife, chewing slowly, tearing a small piece of meat , and what was left was stuffed into the dog's mouth.

"I want to eat this, this is a pear." The dog excitedly pointed to another can.

"You can't eat it, you can't eat it." Zhang Chen even covered the canned meat he opened earlier. This is his habit. A person who is used to hunger must learn to live if he wants to survive.

Store food, you can eat half full, just taste the taste, who knows if there is another meal?

Their ancestors have come here for generations, it was like this in the past, and it is the same today!

"Hurry up and eat, you're full."

Under the leadership of Liu Jie, the Confucian scholars beat the gong and said: "Go back to your own cabin to sleep when you are full, and you will leave the port soon. Don't worry, there are hundreds of people on this ship, and the canned food is enough. If you are not feeling well, go to the second cabin on the left to find Dr. Liu. If you have children, if you are of the right age, you can go to the first cabin. You just need to add water from the can, and each person only has one scoop of water per day, so don’t waste it.”

The crowd surged up.

Children are also taught to read on board.

You can even get medicine when you are sick.

The most important thing is that this kind of canned food is still available for the next meal.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became active.

"Duke of the State of Lu, Lord Wandai, Lord Lord Wandai!"

Zhang Chen was also trembling with excitement, like everyone else, he also murmured.

No one can understand how they feel at the moment.

Because in this world, there are not many people who treat them as human beings.

They have lived a life of disgrace all their lives. Only when there are thieves or going to border towns will the military officers show their usual miserly smiles, let everyone have a good meal, and then put swords in you In their hands, let you hold your head and fight for them.

Zhang Chen's mother-in-law has already opened a can of pears at this moment. Since there are still more for the next meal, then... if the dog wants to eat, eat it.

Zhang Chen still seemed very cautious, leaving two cans: "Keep some, be prepared, there is no harm."

But when he saw the dog holding up the canned pear and drinking the sugar water in it, and still licking his lips, Zhang Chen smiled gratifiedly.

"Damn it, Mr. Lu Guogong wants us to sacrifice our lives. This life has betrayed him. Go back to the cabin later and take a rest. I will register the dog with the gentlemen and let him read Studying, other things, don’t worry about it, you mother-in-law, I see, this trip must be close to death, but this life, even if it’s a risk!”

The dog was holding a slice of pear, looking at Zhang Chen with bright eyes, and said, "Father, you eat."

Zhang Chen's eyes were red, and he ate the pear. The sweet feeling made him burst into tears.

This is really... a day like a fairy.

The big ship slowly left the harbor under the traction of the tug boat, and then hoisted its sails. The sailors and sailors all chanted or howled hoarsely.

The shocked military households huddled together, looking at the land that was far away from their eyes, the land was getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, the surroundings! There is only an endless ocean left.

Everyone... their eyes were moist.

Zhang Chen hugged his ancestor's spiritual tablet and cried hard. He kept wiping away his tears, but the tears still gushed out like broken beads.

My ancestors, countless ancestors, have stayed here, my child... is not filial, he knelt on the deck, facing the direction of the land, and choked up.

When he stood up, he looked at the ignorant dog, stroked his head, pointed to the direction of the land and said, "Dog, you remember, your roots are here, and no matter where you are in the future, you will remember it." Living! "

The dog blinked and nodded ignorantly.

As the sun set, it sprinkled countless brilliance.

The scum king of the world is not in office, ready to sail.

Fang Jinglong stood on the deck. He couldn't bear to look at the couple on the pier, who was holding a child. He wiped away his old tears and wanted to cry, but when he looked around, he saw the generals, Xu Jing, etc. Everyone looked at him with red eyes.

Fang Jinglong didn't let his tears flow out, he held his head up, facing the sea breeze, and pressed the sword on his waist, the python robe on his body, and the beam crown on his head, under the blowing of the sea breeze, they were extraordinarily heavy.

He said confidently: "I have been ordered to go to sea, to explore the Golden Continent, to uphold God's will, to fight against disobedient ministers, and now the army is sailing. From now on, all three armies will be controlled by me, and you will obey orders."

Everyone put away their tears, turned towards Fang Jinglong, and clasped their fists: "Yes."

Fang Jinglong said: "Come with me."

"Obey!"

As Fang Jinglong said, he still couldn't help looking back with infinite nostalgia, the land that gradually disappeared in the line of sea and sky has slowly disappeared.

In his ears, he seemed to hear his own grandson howling like crazy.

My heart... hurts like a needle.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that it seemed... that he had forgotten a traditional item, and that he had...didn't recite poetry!
