Chapter 643 The Second Kingdom Exploration, Delicious Lobsters to Keep You Full!

In early spring, in March, the warm wind blows. This is the best season along the Gulf of Mexico. There are neither the strong winds from the north in winter nor the violent typhoons from the Caribbean in summer. The Kingdom fleet sailed eastward along the coast, and traveled 400 miles peacefully. Then it entered a mostly closed sandbar bay and arrived at an unusually vast coastal lagoon.

"Lord God! Such a big lake?!"

Puapu stood at the bow, looking around, but could not see the end of the lake. It was high tide, and the surging tide poured in through two gaps in the bay. The mudflats along the coast quickly swelled into the lake. Thousands of seabirds took off from the mudflats full of food and circled reluctantly. The gray earth warrior looked up and saw only the wings spread all over the sky, soaring under the rising sun.

"Yo, yo!"

The dark snake opened his eyes blankly, looking at the flying sky and listening to the birds singing. Didi held his fingers, stared at the shimmering waves in the lake.

"Fish, so many fish! Fat and big sea fish, they must be delicious!"

"Haha! This is the largest and richest lake along the entire Yucatan Peninsula, and even on the entire peninsula!"

Tikalo smiled, stretched out his hands, and drew a big circle.

"One hundred and twenty miles from east to west, one hundred miles from north to south, it's all 'big lakes'!"

"Wow! So big!"

Old militiaman Chihuaco looked at it for a moment, amazed.

"What's the name of this big lake?"

"It's called 'Big Lake'!"

"What's the name of this lake?"

"It's called 'Big Lake'!"

Tikalo smiled and repeated again.

"For the Mayan tribes along the lake, there has never been a lake bigger than this one. The big lake they are talking about is the only one! And their main belief is also the rain god Chak who controls rainfall, lakes and abundance."

Chihuaco was stunned and speechless. Then, the Mayan merchant pointed to a Mayan fishing village on the sandbar and said with a smile.

"This sandbar separates the sea from the lake, leaving only two gaps in the east and west. The water flows very fast and violently during high and low tides. Whenever the tide recedes, fish, shrimps and shellfish that have no time to escape will be left in the lake. At that time, not only will the birds in the sky come down to eat, but the fishermen in the village will also come and pick up the fish and shrimps that can be seen everywhere on the open road."

The so-called "big lake" is today's Laguna de Términos in Campeche, Mexico. There are large mangroves and birds by the lake, beautiful scenery, and delicious seafood.

"Right!"

The Mayan merchant Ticarro thought for a moment and slapped his head. He swallowed his saliva, pulled the old militiaman's arm, and said to everyone with a smile.

"Captain Qi, Captain Pu, the fishing village here in Priest Tomat produces a kind of giant prawns, which are extremely delicious! If the local fishermen catch them, they will deliberately keep these prawns for more than ten days, and keep them in the sea water, leaving them for the fleet passing by! The fleet is just about to go ashore to replenish fresh water, so we can just go and have a big meal!"

"What? Going ashore, what prawns to eat?"

The old militiaman Chivaco pursed his lips and hesitated a little. The experience of the previous few days was still vivid in his mind, and he had some shadows about going ashore.

"No, no!"

"Captain Qi, don't be afraid. This fishing village is often docked by the merchant group's ships. They have a total of hundreds of villagers, and only more than twenty people can be considered warriors. For the kingdom's fleet, there will be no risk! . Besides, the prawns in that village are really delicious!"

"What kind of prawns are really so delicious?"

Hearing this, Puapu was a little moved. He patted the old militiaman on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Old man Qi, if you don't go, stay and watch the boat. I'll take a few people up to take a look."

"Okay! You go! Take dozens of warriors ashore for supplies. I'll stay and watch the boat."

The old militiaman Chihuaco thought about it and nodded in agreement. The fleet really needed to replenish fresh water here. Then, he lowered his voice, leaned close to Puapu's ear, and whispered.

"Watch out for that bald fox!"

"Huh? Okay!"

Puapu nodded blankly. The old militiaman looked at the priest Tomat again and asked with a smile.

"Priest Tomat, are you going ashore too?"

Priest Tomat nodded seriously. He had two more illustrated "Ali Sutras" in his hand and explained seriously.

"I'm not going ashore to eat prawns. I'm going to spread the glory of the Lord! Praise the Lord!"

"Praise the Lord!"

The old militiaman smiled and prayed. Then, he thought about it, his eyes softened a little, and said to Puapu.

"Old Pu, bring Dark Snake and Diddy with you! Let's try that prawn!"

"Huh? Good!"

The morning sun rose to the middle of the sky, and the warriors replenished their fresh water and gathered at the fishing village on the sandbar. Dozens of Mayan fishermen carefully brought large pots of fish soup, grilled shrimps and grilled fish to the warriors with weapons. The old village chief smiled and brought a few nimble villagers to carry six pots of grilled lobsters and handed them respectfully to the leader of the masters.

"Huh? Are there really such big prawns?"

Pu'apu stretched out his hand and grabbed the largest prawn from the pot. This prawn was more than 40 centimeters long, almost as thick as his forearm, and weighed several kilograms. Pu'apu smelled the fragrant smell of the lobster, poked the hard shell, and didn't know how to eat it for a while.

"Such a hard shell? How to eat it?"

"Haha! This is easy! Just twist off the shrimp head, sprinkle some salt into the shrimp body, and then suck out the meat directly!"

"Huh? What about these two big claws? How do I break them open?"

Pu'apu stretched out his hand and gestured with the claws that were bigger than his palm, and was amazed.

"Hiss! It's really a beast in the sea! It can be easily caught by fishermen."

"Oh, the claws, don't bother to break them open, just throw them away. Anyway, there are plenty of lobsters, and everyone can be full! Come on, try this superb delicacy! You don't need to add anything, just sprinkle some salt if it's too light, it's guaranteed to be delicious to tears!"

Ticarlo couldn't wait to twist off a palm-sized lobster head, scoop out a mouthful of white and tender fresh shrimp meat, put it in his mouth and chew slowly, and immediately showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Ah! What a nostalgic taste, the taste of Maya's hometown!"

"Huh! It's really, really delicious!"

Pu'apu stretched out his hand, grabbed the shrimp meat that was as long as his forearm, held it in his hand and nibbled a few times, and immediately looked amazed. The prawn meat was tender and fresh, with natural sweetness and a light salty taste, and the taste was very bouncy. The Gray Earth Warrior immediately worked hard and ate two pounds of lobster meat in one breath, which was even more refreshing than smoking a divine cigarette!

"Delicious, delicious! Not enough, not enough! Tikarlo, let them bring two more cans of prawns!"

"Delicious! Really delicious! Better than honey!"

"Yes, yes! Dark Snake is right!"

Dark Snake held the prawns and tried to dig out the prawn meat, his eyes curved into crescents again. Didi next to him stuck out his tongue, humming vaguely while sucking the gravy in the shrimp shell.

"Woo woo woo! Father Qi is so nice! Sailing on the sea is happiness!"

As for the chief priest Tomat, he was concentrating on lowering his head and using the obsidian dagger in his hand to flexibly pick out the prawn meat. The skill and precision of this technique are simply amazing! And next to him, there was already a pile of empty lobster shells.

"Okay! I'll tell the village chief to grill all the prawns!"

Tikalo smiled, glanced at the people who were concentrating on eating prawns, and walked slowly towards the village chief. In this remote and isolated Mayan fishing village, no one can speak Nahua. The only people in the fleet who are familiar with Mayan are Tikalo and the guide he brought.

".Do you know everything?"

".Got it, noble lord who is more important than the sky, I'll do it later!"

Listening to Tikalo's instructions, the hunchbacked old village chief bowed his head repeatedly, even to his knees. Then, he immediately called a few villagers to continue preparing food for the masters.

Tikalo's mouth curled up and smiled slightly. When he turned around again, he was already calm.

"Ha, it's delicious!. The taste of Mayan hometown is right in front of you!"

The Easter egg chapter is the second kingdom navigation map (Mexico part). There are also some Easter egg chapters with Mayan appearance in the front, which can be seen by the brave.っっ (Vote for lobsters!)
