Chapter 339 [Sheffield Manor 1]
Seeing that the women were so interested, Belsinger smiled and snapped his fingers. The human flesh Rosebrook, who was sitting not far away and eating a large plate of fruit, immediately appeared behind his master and listened to his master's instructions.
"Brook, you also know that we have a week of free time, and I also plan to take our family members to relax. Since we have come to Plymouth, a century-old seaport, of course we can't miss the characteristic buildings of this city. We plan to go sightseeing tomorrow!"
"But we are unfamiliar with the place, and we don't know where there are good views and good manors. You go find a local guide, don't fool us like Turkey did. When you are a guide, you must be careful to choose. Do you understand?"
The last time, the traitorous guide was hurriedly found by the human flesh mule Brook, who almost made the family suffer a great loss. Although he was not scolded by the master, the human flesh Rosebrook had learned a lesson that you can't be anxious about anything. If you are anxious, you will make mistakes.
Even if the master didn't tell him to, he wouldn't choose to find an unfamiliar guide in a hurry, so Brooke answered seriously.
"Don't worry, the master will find such a guide as soon as possible. We can go to the port to have a look tomorrow. The unique British naval lineup, I heard that there is a warship from the sailing period docked at the port. I have to see it."
Belsinger also knew that it was not so easy to find a good and high-quality guide. There was plenty of time. So tomorrow morning, we will visit the port and see what kind of scale the last battleship preserved in the sailing period is? What kind of construction is also unique. It will be very good to find a guide in the afternoon.
At more than 9 o'clock that night, Belsinger hugged Natasha and fell asleep. He woke up refreshed the next morning. After breakfast, he took the special car provided by the hotel to the port and visited the whole picture of the century-old military port. You really didn't say that you really saw the battleship of the sailing period, docked at the port. The cannons in the afternoon were very temperamental.
This is the most standard war weapon configuration during the British Empire, which lasted for a hundred years. I thought this warship with five rows of cannons was a battleship-sized sailing warship, but I didn't expect that after the tour guide's introduction, I learned that its scale was at best just the scale of a cruiser, with two fewer rows of cannons than those real battleships.
Five rows of cannons on the upper, middle and lower decks, that is, seven decks, with more than 65 cannons on one side, and a total of 130 iron pillars on both sides of the door. The caliber of the cannons is about ten centimeters. Of course, the level of the shells a hundred years ago was not very good, all of them were solid or shrapnel shells, and there was no way to compare with the current cannons in terms of range and destructive power.
I saw the appearance of this cruiser-sized sailing warship and then boarded the ship to visit the very luxurious captain's room. I saw the sophisticated instruments and various drawings needed for navigation a hundred years ago. I also visited the kitchen storage room on the battleship, the battle deck below, and the warehouse, etc., and the whole morning passed like this.
To be honest, in addition to being made of wood, this battleship is unique and completely restores all the configurations of the battleship hundreds of years ago. The most rare thing is that the battleship is in very good condition, and it can travel around the world without fear of falling apart.
More than a thousand photos were taken on the battleship, and more than dozens of films were consumed. When getting off the ship, Belsinger even spent two hundred pounds very luxuriously to buy a 100:1 model of this battleship. This 100:1 model is purely handmade, and all the parts on the ship can be switched on and off.
It is a very good adult toy, and I plan to give it to my unborn son as a gift. After visiting the battleship, I was tired like a bear. However, the unique naval cuisine in the harbor attracted everyone's attention. To be honest, naval cuisine sounds good.
But what good things can you eat when you are drifting on the sea? All the ingredients are pickled with salt. It looks very delicious in order to increase the shelf life, but it is not the same when you eat it. Bellsinger even began to sympathize with the officers and soldiers drifting on the sea. They ate all kinds of garbage. This meal was so depressing, but fortunately, it was no problem to fill their stomachs.
When I returned to the hotel in the afternoon, Brooke, who was quite efficient, came to me with a blond and blue-eyed handsome man who was 1.9 meters tall. After the two sides introduced themselves, they knew that this was a top student of the local Maritime Academy, who served as a tour guide in his spare time.
Brooke, who was doxxed, was hired back with a high salary. He was handsome and very humorous. He was also very knowledgeable. He had aspired to be a navy since he was a child, but because he was too tall, he was not suitable for activities in the narrow cabin. So the dream of the navy could only be shattered, but it was no problem to be a captain after graduation. He was also a local of Plymouth and knew the city of Plymouth like the back of his hand.
What my team lacked was such a high-quality guide. After the hiring fee of 10 pounds per hour was agreed, the tour guide asked Belle what he wanted to see? A more targeted tour bus can save the least time.
We had discussed it last night and planned to take a look at the local rural buildings and country manors in the UK and experience the leisurely life in the country manors. Upon hearing the news, Jack frowned and thought about it, then he smiled and said to Belsinger with a sudden realization.
"Mr. Singer, it's such a coincidence. I heard two days ago that Sheffield Manor is going to be open to tourists. You can stay for a week by paying 100,000 pounds. Sheffield Manor was the base camp of the Marquis and was very luxurious."
"It is the most classic and luxurious aristocratic manor in the entire Sheffield Manor Harbor City. I didn't expect it to be open to ordinary tourists. The price is so cheap. You can stay for a week for 100,000 pounds and enjoy the aristocratic service. What do you think?"
A Marquis's aristocratic manor, living for a week, eating and playing, actually only costs 100,000 pounds. This is too exaggerated. It makes people feel very incredible. When did a high-level aristocrat like the Marquis open his manor to tourists for business? Is the Marquis so short of money? It's impossible.

Seeing the Belsinger family open-mouthed in surprise, Guide Jack couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly as he explained to everyone, "Mr. Singer, please don't disbelieve me. I know the Sheffield Marquis family. Due to several generations of poor management, the family has now fallen into decline. Apart from the title of Marquis and the Sheffield Manor, it is just an empty shell."
