Chapter 356： Newfoundland Trade

The cooking of the fat brothers still needs to be practiced for a while, and Marin went to see his father-in-law Julius II and asked his father-in-law to change the name of the fat brothers and change their identity information. Even, a new set of life experiences needs to be fabricated.

Otherwise, these two goods went to France as spies, and they must be found out. Because of the previous inferiority of stealing employers ’things (in fact, the fat brothers had no money because of their mother ’s illness and had to use their brains to make“ quick money ”, but unfortunately they were caught), it is impossible for the French King ’s Palace to accept such inferiority Man became the royal chef of the palace. Otherwise, how many national treasures should these two goods go to in the palace of the French King? Therefore, Marin needs to give them a new identity, or even tamper with their past experience.

This kind of thing is naturally difficult for ordinary people. But there was no difficulty for Pope Julius II. Soon, Julius II gave the fat brothers a very glorious past experience-a noble chef ...

Unfortunately, the nobleman was poisoned by Caesar Borgia, and the brothers left temporarily ...

The nobleman really existed and it was indeed poisoned by Caesar Borgia. Julius II's work is still very rigorous, all channels have been arranged. Even if the French sent someone to inquire, there was nothing wrong with inquiring. Because the former servants of the noble family were all included by Julius II, and they would naturally do things as instructed. Of course, Julius II also had spies in Paris. If one day the fat brother was exposed, the nobleman's former servants would be killed in the first place to ensure that no one could find Marin and himself.

Next, Marin sent a letter to the Beihai Chamber of Commerce in Paris to prepare a large sum of money to bribe some of the officials of the French King's Palace, intending to use them to recommend the Fat Brothers to the palace. Then, we must fight for them to cook for Queen Anne. Although the Fat Brothers have not set off for Paris, the preparations there have already begun ...

In addition, Marin also sent two groups of horses to Perigord in northern Provence and Aquitaine to spend money to buy local officials and contract all the truffles in the truffle producing areas to obtain truffles. At the same time, according to Marin, training began specifically for truffle sows.

The French of later generations found that sows are extremely sensitive to the smell of truffles. Even if the truffles are buried deep underground, the sows can smell through the soil. Moreover, he will dig the soil and desperately want to eat truffles. Therefore, in addition to training the sow's ability to find truffles, it is also necessary to put a halter on the sow's mouth. Otherwise, after the sow chops out the truffle, she swallows the truffle in a single bit, which is a sad reminder. You should know that the power of the sow is very great. When it is qing, it can overturn the wall of the pigpen. If you don't put a bridle on your head and find truffles, you will definitely try to eat truffles in the first place, and most people may not be able to hold them.

...

Just when Marin stayed in Rome and helped the French to train two future "French chefs", the two battleships sent by Marin to Cape Breton Island also arrived smoothly, and soon joined Cape Breton The Indians on the island started a trade.

During this time, Garland also made a lot of preparations. For example, select a group of young people with good language talents to contact the Beautuk people on Newfoundland to learn their language. For a few months, although this group of people did not learn the language of the Indian Beotuks, they could basically communicate with each other through gestures and other methods, and were able to bargain.

When two warships full of immigrants and goods used to trade with the Beotuks arrived, Garland quickly organized trade with the Beotuks.

Garland sent his businessmen and language talents to land on Newfoundland, and opened a trade fair with the Beotuks by the sea.

At the fair, Garland's men took out iron pans, iron axes, swords, bows and arrows, glass beads, salt, small fishing nets and other goods, and stood there waiting for the Beotuks to get their furs in exchange.

Unlike Marin's imagination, the iron pot is not popular among the Beotuks. Because, the Beotuks have not used the iron pot, and do not know its benefits.

The most popular among the Beotuks are the European bows and small fishing nets. European bows and arrows are more powerful than the Indians' bows and arrows. Although Marin did not take out the most powerful English longbow, the bow and arrow he took out was also a medium-power bow, which was a medium-range bow. The Indian bows and arrows are short-range bows and arrows. Their bows and arrows and bow strings are even made of strong vines. Unlike European bows and arrows, bow strings are made of leather or animal tendons after soaking and tanning with drugs.

More importantly, the bows and arrows sold by Garland are all iron and can be used repeatedly. Unlike the arrows of the Indians, they were made of stone. When shooting prey, if you accidentally hit the animal's bones, the stone arrows will be damaged.

Especially when shooting a grizzly bear, because the grizzly fur is too thick and the bones are too hard, the stone arrow is difficult to shoot the grizzly bear. Even, hiding can not avoid the grizzly. When you meet a tiger, you can climb the tree and escape. Encounter grizzly, it is miserable, climbed the tree like chased by the grizzly. Because Grizzly is also good at climbing trees, they can often climb trees to dig honeycombs to eat honey ...

With iron arrows and strong European bows, and a little more manpower, the Beotuks have the confidence to hunt the Grizzlies. After all, it is dangerous to let the grizzly bears live nearby.

Therefore, a recurve bow with 12 iron-headed arrows, such a package, is the favorite of Beotuk people. For this, they are willing to pay the price of 12 **** skins. But the black-hearted Garland's men raised the price to 18. Moreover, an iron-headed arrow dared to ask for a **** skin. Unexpectedly, the Beotuks gritted their teeth and really agreed ...

At the fair, the second most popular is the small fishing net. Because the bazaar is opened by the sea, there are a lot of fishermen from the Beautuk who come to the bazaar trade, so naturally they like small fishing nets.

This small fishing net was also designed for the Beautuk by Malin Underground Order. Because the Beotuks use canoes for fishing, you ca n’t use a big net for him. Sure, the net is too big, there are too many fish, and it is easy to overturn the canoe.

Therefore, Marin makes people change the small inland fishing nets, which is very suitable for the needs of the Beotuks. A small fishing net, Garland's men also offered the price of 10 **** skins, and the other party also accepted ...

In addition, table salt, glass beads, iron axes and swords are also very popular. The Beotuks do not know how to cook salt. They are still in matriarchal society, far behind the Indians on the Mexican side. The Indians in Mexico already knew how to use pots to cook salt, but they didn't understand it. When salt is needed, they cook the sea fish directly, and even drink some sea water ...

With salt, they are much more delicious when they eat meat from terrestrial animals. Therefore, table salt is also a popular product in the market. The iron axe and sword are also popular among the locals. The iron axe can be used to cut down trees to facilitate the construction of houses, and the sword can be used to fight grizzly bears and white wolves on Newfoundland Island, which is naturally very useful.

The thing of glass beads is mainly loved by women of Beotuk. After all, the Beotuks are a matriarchal society, and women ’s status is higher, and the sale of glass beads is normal ...

All products, except for the iron pan, are almost sold. The **** skins that have been stored in the Beautuk village near the trading point for many years are basically collected.

To this end, the Beotuks took out the otter skin and continued to trade with Garland's men. However, the price of otter skin was cut very low.

Outside of trade, those translators who know how to communicate with locals tell the locals that if they catch the **** next time, the pear-shaped glandular sac on their body can also be dried and traded for the same value as **** skin. As for the use of the glandular sac, it is naturally used to extract the **** fragrance, which is an important raw material for high-end perfumes.

In addition, the next time you catch a beaver, it is best not to use a bow and arrow, you can catch the best. In this way, the integrity of the **** skin can also be fully preserved ...

The Beotuks naturally promised ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Moreover, they capture beavers and often do not need bows and arrows. As long as you have experience, find the beaver's cave, you can come to "catch the turtle in the urn" ......

...

The trial trade on the south side of Newfoundland was very successful, and the Beotuks also seemed very friendly. So, Garland ordered that the place called "Kona Brook" mentioned in the Marin letter next time hold another trade fair. Anyway, this time there are hundreds of tons of goods coming from the cloud, which can be traded many times.

Although the city of Corner Brook has not yet appeared, Marin outlined Newfoundland and outlined the approximate location of Corner Brook. Therefore, Garland only needs to send people to the west coast of Newfoundland to make a circle to find it.

You know, the time given by Marin is tight, and Garland is asked to find Corner Brook as soon as possible. Then, proceed inland and arrive at Bakins on the north side of Red Indian Lake, seeking to find the one million-ton lead-zinc mine in Bakken in spring. In this way, Marlin can use a large amount of tinplate and galvanized plate armor in the future. Think of pulling out a large vote of silver Saint Seiya wearing galvanized plate armor, Marin feels ashamed ...
