Chapter 1583 Decadent Youth
The effect of storing books in the tripe was unexpectedly good, although everyone was surprised, because this was to make people eat beef. Something that had never happened before suddenly happened, and the believers found it difficult to accept.
Some believers even collapsed on the spot, but after recovering, they were ready to listen to God's will and send the cow to heaven.
Eat it, in fact, beef is really delicious.
The believers who ate it once couldn't stop. Since it was God's will, they could only obey it. It is estimated that eating beef will become a Hindu tradition in a short time. Obviously, Duran's action was very successful.
Dongfang Bubai knew that he had overestimated the IQ of the locals. They actually believed Duran's nonsense, which was simply incomprehensible.
But this is also a good thing. You must know that eating beef was still illegal in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many cows in India, so you can eat as much as you want.
When the Ming army arrived, many private fleets also came here to do business through the routes officially opened by the Ming Dynasty.
What surprised Duran was that Linghu Chong, who had not seen him for a long time, was also on the ship. Although he didn't know what happened, he seemed to have become the son-in-law of Heimu Cliff and the husband of Ren Woxing's daughter Ren Yingying.
This time, Linghu Chong came to show his value as a son-in-law, but he only drank and slept, and didn't look like he was working hard.
A prodigal is really a prodigal.
The crew members were not dissatisfied with him as a leader, because Linghu Chong didn't look like a leader at all, and often gathered to drink, which could be said to be a bad example for a group of people.
The supervisor of Heimu Cliff was anxious when he saw this situation, because they were here to work, not to go on vacation.
However, Linghu Chong didn't care, and didn't care that he had come to a foreign country, and he still looked careless. But there was one serious thing, that is, his wine was almost finished, and he found that he couldn't find a place to drink.
Hinduism does not allow believers to drink, but compared to beef, the prohibition on drinking is much more relaxed for ordinary believers, but alcohol cannot appear in the open, and can only be brewed secretly.
The problem of alcoholism among the lower class is not small.
Linghu Chong didn't believe that no one drank in this place, and he had to find wine to drink. He didn't know the doctrine of Hinduism, and of course he wouldn't take it seriously even if he knew, because he was such a rule-breaking person.
After learning a few simple sentences from the translator, he went to find some wine to drink.
"Wine? Do you have any?" Because the translator had never seen wine here, Linghu Chong didn't know how to translate wine, so he just said "wine" in Chinese. However, he had a wine pot and took it out for people to see: "If there is any, I am willing to buy it with money."
Here he is. Duran had been wondering how quickly Linghu Chong would destroy other people's beliefs and anger the Hindu believers. Sure enough, he was very quick.
Even if they drank wine, they couldn't take it out openly. How could they dare to agree to Linghu Chong's question? Agreeing would be a mistake.
In one day, Linghu Chong had become an alien in the eyes of the believers around him. You know, although the people of the Ming Dynasty did a lot of shameful things in secret, they were very disciplined on the surface. Linghu Chong was the first person in the Ming Dynasty who dared to openly disrespect the teachings of Hinduism.
When Dongfang Bubai knew that someone actually bought wine from the locals in broad daylight, he immediately had Linghu Chong locked up, and apologized to the local Brahmins, saying that this was Linghu Chong's personal behavior.
Linghu Chong was puzzled. He felt that he had done nothing wrong, so why was he locked up?
Dongfang Bubai could only send someone to popularize knowledge for him, so that he would know that the problems in this place were very complicated and that he could not always follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty. Duran expressed his willingness to meet Linghu Chong.
"There is Hinduism here, which controls almost everything. Even the king must strictly abide by the religious rules. They are not allowed to drink, so buying wine like this is a contempt for their doctrine." Duran showed a sincere look as soon as he arrived.
Linghu Chong did not buy this. Except for his master and his wife, he thought that everyone else was a brother. They could drink and eat meat together, but he would never listen to these great principles.
"It's not a serious matter. It's too much for you to lock me up, right?" "Even if you lock me up, you should bring my wine pot." He obviously looks like a foreigner, but his behavior is not serious at all, which is really inconsistent.
"Drinking will cause trouble."
"No." Linghu Chong decisively denied: "Besides, I don't have any job. I just come to make up the numbers."
Fortunately, he found a rich wife, otherwise it would be hard to think about how someone like him could survive. Could he rely on friends for help? Today at the Zhang family, tomorrow at the Wang family, you keep changing who you eat with?
"You really don't know how lucky you are. If you are divorced by Heimuya, I will be worried about you. What are your specialties? How will you make a living in the future?"
"You know me well?" Linghu Chong was surprised.
"Of course, this is the first time that a civilian group has come to India, so of course your identities must be investigated clearly. I am a member of the court."
"Are you a Jinyiwei?" Linghu Chong was shocked. Even he didn't dare to deal with Jinyiwei. He had heard that Jinyiwei was omnipresent. Even his father-in-law told him to be careful when he met strangers in a new place and not to talk nonsense. It is very likely that the other party is Jinyiwei who came to ask questions.
"I guess so. You were originally a disciple of Huashan Sect, but the sect was reformed two years ago. You left Huashan because you didn't like the new atmosphere and traveled around the world. You met Ren Yingying, the eldest lady of Heimu Cliff, and the two fell in love and got married. Of course, your father-in-law is very dissatisfied with you, but your martial arts are good, which is a rare advantage." "But good martial arts are not popular these days. Heroes also need to eat. Before you met Ren Yingying, you relied on your friends in the world to make a living and didn't have a stable job at all. Am I right?"
Linghu Chong still looked indifferent, "The bridge will naturally be straight when it reaches the bow of the boat. I have wine tonight and I will get drunk tonight. I never think about such long-term things."
"You are really free and easy." Du Lan thought to himself that this is a prodigal son: "Reflect on yourself, and if you want to buy wine, it's best to find someone to buy it secretly. They have wine but they just don't dare to take it out."
Linghu Chong's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Thank you."
People like Linghu Chong can become a nail to penetrate the local group because he is thick-skinned and can make friends. So Du Lan should make good use of this person, maybe it will have a miraculous effect.
After Linghu Chong becomes popular, he will be recruited into the Jinyiwei, and that will be it.
After being imprisoned for three days, Linghu Chong was released, and then he immediately went to buy wine according to Duran's method. This time he really bought it, and he also made a few drinking buddies, and agreed to exchange winemaking experience together.
It must be said that Duran is still very accurate in judging people. Linghu Chong is indeed a talent in making friends with wine.
