Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet
Chapter 232
Chen Ergou was originally just a prodigal son wandering around, never thought that one day he would settle down so early. Now that they have a new home, it is like a floating sail that has been put on a lighthouse. Sailing on a stormy night, you are not afraid of losing your way. The impetuous heart in the person's chest became much more at ease in an instant.
Many settings in the home were arranged by the previous owner. Because of the difference in living habits and aesthetics, some modifications are naturally required. He decided to do it himself and remodel the home. The focus is on the basement, where some collections and decorations are basically displayed. Although the security in this mansion area is very strict, he still will not entrust his protection to the security guards.
"Can the host buy a security system?" Goudan suddenly jumped out.
Chen Ergou raised his eyebrows, and the first thing he thought of was to see how much popularity he still had, "I didn't know you were still in sales business... Do you have any recommendations?"
"Of course, it is recommended that the host purchase the basement security protection system of Wayne Manor, the intelligent protection system of Stark Manor, the mechanism protection system of Crawford Manor, the home protection system of Mrs. and Mrs. Smith's family, the secret protection system of Undernight Legend Vampire Manor..." A large piece of dazzling The design comes to mind.
Chen Ergou was a little dizzy, and refreshed the upper limit of the system's water depth in his heart.
Everything makes people greedy, but looking at the asking price of millions of dollars, they shrink back instantly. He has tried his best to accumulate popularity, but so far it is only about 700,000. In this blockbuster recommendation, except for Mr. and Mrs. Smith's home system and the Crawford Manor's mechanism protection system, the rest can only be seen greedily.
Even a set of Crawford Manor system needs 600,000 popularity points. Shaking his head, he almost stripped him naked just to decorate the house. He thought it would be more cost-effective to spend money on this matter.
"Drip, the system comes with an automatic decoration service."
"..."
"Hey, okay. How long will it take to decorate this set of Crawford Manor?"
Goudan quickly gave the answer: "The lower limit is ten days, and the upper limit is up to you. Crawford Manor is not only a good place to house various cultural relics and treasures, but also a very good training ground. Except for fighting, all other Skills can be practiced very well. Climbing, jumping, balancing, shooting, hook-and-wire jumps..."
"Okay, okay, I'm tempted, let's just set it up. In the next six months, choose a time when there is no one to decorate slowly. But this basement can be decorated first."
"Received." 600,000 people's popularity was instantly deducted.
Under Chen Ergou's curious eyes, Goudan cast a ray of light, and several octopus-like robots walked out. A pair of compound eyes were scanning the basement, and immediately started to move. Each mechanical claw has a different division of labor, cutting, relocating, and digging are all complete, and the basement began to be remodeled silently.
"Remind the host that the stone, adobe, and cement for decoration need to be raised by the host!"
Chen Ergou was a little dazed, rubbed his face vigorously and said: "...This is a trivial matter. It is better to spend money than to spend popularity. You make a list and I will buy it later."
Chinese people still have a lot to pay attention to when they move to a new house, and a housewarming banquet is indispensable.
This time, there were many more guests. President Wang went on vacation, but Professor Clausen and his wife who were far away in the capital and Hu Ge who was filming in Hengdian also came.
This simple and elegant English-style mansion has a sense of sight of Crawford Manor in "Tomb Raider".
Hu Ge is holding the crystal "King's Sword". After being polished by the master craftsman system, the large piece of crystal that was originally slightly rough is really dazzling now.
There is also that large collection, which makes people's eyes blurred.
Thinking about the situation a few months ago, I was filled with emotion, and said: "Ergou, I am really happy for you. I thought you were a nice person at the beginning, but I still underestimated you. Gold always shines, and you are considered successful now." People. Even if I can afford such a house, it will take a long time for me to be heartbroken. You will walk in front of everyone in one day."
Chen Ergou is wearing a black home casual sweater,
With a pair of slippers on his feet, he behaved leisurely, and said with a smile: "It's just getting rich, not achievement. If you like, as long as you can move the things in this house, you can take them."
"Wow, so generous."
Li Shishi and Cai Yinong came out from behind with smiles on their faces. The former rolled his eyes around the two handsome guys and said with a smile: "Why do I have the illusion that two good gay friends are confessing to each other?"
The two looked at each other and rolled their eyes at her at the same time, ignoring the big beauty.
Li Shishi said angrily: "Hey, what is your reaction? Even the eyes are so tacit, aha, I must have guessed it."
Cai Yinong laughed and said: "Then you will suffer a big loss and lose two high-quality resources."
"Cut, rare."
"Xiao Chen, where are you, come to the basement." Clausen's voice came from downstairs.
Chen Ergou said: "It's Professor Wu, you can take a look around, I'll go there first."
Hu Ge said: "The voice is very urgent, you go over quickly."
Li Shishi said: "Let's go together, maybe we will find something good again."
"Okay, you guys go down the stairs, I'll go first."
When several people were wondering why he left first, they saw him jump over the fence, grab a rope protruding out of nowhere, and fall from the third floor with a volley. On the ground floor, after landing, he trotted two steps to stabilize his figure, and then walked unhurriedly to the basement.
"..." The people behind were stunned, "Why don't you be so exaggerated and play handsome at home."
There are traces of remodeling in the basement, which looks very messy, but it does not affect the people watching here at all.
Clausen-Wu, who had white beard and hair, was wearing white gloves, touching the engraved characters of the Golden Book, and said with a devout face, "Xiao Chen, I thought you were going to sell this book too."
"Of course not for sale, those are just for publicity." Chen Ergou said.
A diamond as big as the "Rose Star" is too extravagant. Although it is precious, he never thought of keeping it for himself. But this kind of book of gold and gemstones can't be sold at a high price, but it is extremely precious, and it is perfect as a collection.
"There are two books of gold, one is engraved with the "Pirate Code" that has already been displayed, and the other is this one, which contains some of Barbossa's life and the next clue of the sea chart..."
The "Pirate Code" is really nothing interesting, it's nothing more than the rules that Captain Barbossa made for his crew.
It's just that the outside world always has all kinds of fantastic imaginations about pirates because of the unknown. The management mode of these pirates is very democratic. The pirates must sign a pirate agreement before boarding the ship. This agreement must be based on the pirate code. In a way, the rules on a pirate ship are even more democratic than some joint-stock companies.
The captain is certainly the most powerful person in the pirate group, but his power is not absolute.
The crew has the right to elect a new captain. After all, they come out to make a living, with their necks hung on the knife edge, and whoever has the highest prestige can listen to them. The "Pirate Code" can be said to be the highest law of the sea.
The first article of the code stipulates that everyone on board has equal voting rights, and the second article states that everyone is fair, especially in terms of property. The captain shall have 25% of the whole booty, and the mate, a boatman and the bosun combined 20%.
There are also many detailed rules that stipulate gambling, reward and punishment systems, which restrict lower-level pirates and are more militarized.
Clausen said: "Even the pages of this golden book are carefully carved with gold material, which is very renaissance style. In that era, it was not easy to make such an exquisite golden book. It can be seen that the owner's Be careful. You have to keep it safe."
Chen Ergou nodded seriously, and asked him about how to save it better.
Clausen casually told him some details about the preservation of cultural relics, took out his portable magnifying glass, and began to examine the contents of another golden book carefully.
"It's all written in ancient Greek. It seems to be about the life and autobiography of the characters. I don't know much about ancient Greek, so I can't help you with the translation, but I can recommend a few people who are proficient in Greek to help you."
"That's not necessary. I know a little Greek."
"You still understand Greek!" Clausen was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for, tell me what's written in it."
Chen Ergou smiled, put on his gloves, opened the pages of the book, and began to slowly introduce the contents of the Book of Gold——
Eric Watts-Barbosa only lived to be 38 years old. He is known as the "Demon Poet", also known as "Little Devil". In fact, he himself was born in the British aristocratic class, the only son in his family, and he attended aristocratic schools since he was a child. He studied Greek and Arabic, and was especially fond of poetry.
It's a pity that because of being born a dwarf, he was discriminated against. I didn't feel anything when I was a child, but the dwarfism became more obvious when I grew up. Later, he couldn't pass the noble school, so he went to sea with his father.
Barbosa's father was a naval warship captain, and he followed his father to do odd jobs at sea when he was 13 years old. Although born with a disability, he is smarter than everyone else. After ten years of tempering, he has gradually developed into an independent character, and his prestige has become more and more important. If things go well, he may not be unable to inherit the family business.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and his father was killed in a sea battle.
Because he was born a dwarf, he was looked down upon by others, and his family property was occupied by other nobles. At that time, the sea was already dominated by ships, but it was still wiping the tail of the age of great exploration. Because the slave trade is getting smoother and smoother, the pirates are also more rampant, as if returning to the past, they are all in the final madness.
As an Englishman, he witnessed with his own eyes that Britain opened up countless colonies overseas and brought back countless treasures, gold, and antiques.
Any young man with a dream and courage flocked to the sea, and Barbosa decided to take the risk when he was desperate, and found a group of old sailors under his father's command to go to sea as pirates.
Because he was good at fighting, and knew the navigation of British, French, and Spanish merchant ships and warships, he quickly rose among the pirates and attracted a large number of subordinates.
While he was talking, Cai Yinong and several other guests also walked into the basement.
Chen Ergou just nodded to them, and did not stop talking:
The origin of the name "Demon Poet" is because Barbossa's behavior is moody, and he was born in England, but he is the most vicious in robbing British ships. Because of my childhood experience, I am very sensitive to any eyes. Often tear apart those who don't like it, whether pirates or captives.
Sometimes he likes to be arty and make his life full of aristocratic flavor. When the kindness broke out, he would treat the captives kindly, and even gave his old ship to the captives after occupying the ship, so that the captives could escape.
He was born in an aristocratic family and knew the routines among aristocrats. At that time, Britain and France were competing for the colonial rule of the precious land of Congo. He was looked down upon by the British, so he went to attach himself to the French and became a legal pirate of France. Backed by a big backer, his piracy career went smoothly. But the French are not vegetarians, and even look down on the dwarf captain, asking for money more and more ruthlessly, and finally annoyed the devil captain.
With the cover of a port repair, they captured a cargo transfer station in King's Bend in France from the inside, ransacked it and fled. They also successfully plundered a large French battleship "Victor" and used it as their flagship. With the help of Victor's heavy armed forces, they became one of the most feared pirates in the Atlantic Ocean and even the eastern Caribbean Sea at that time. .
The French and the English looked for him everywhere, but they could not find even a hair.
With the limelight of that battle, he became famous. At that time, three pirate captains joined with their ships and crews.
That was the most glorious moment in his life, which was supposed to be recorded in history, but then disappeared strangely in extreme events.
According to the Golden Book, it turned out that he was seriously ill at the most glorious time of his life, and his energy was not as good as before. The three new pirate captains were ambitious and wanted to hold a referendum to usurp the throne. In his heart, Barbossa has never looked down on pirates. He dreams of rebuilding his family one day.
On the surface, he pretended not to know, but secretly, together with his most sincere subordinates, he designed a treasure distribution operation, calling on the three captains to gather the treasure together to create a pirate paradise.
At that time, his net worth was the richest, and he used his own interests as a bait to successfully lure the three pirate captains into agreeing to share the treasure. Then he designed a trap, but he disappeared with most of the treasures, and no one could find him.
It wasn't until hundreds of years later that an oriental man accidentally discovered his tomb, so that his story could be seen again.
The story is not too long, and Chen Ergou also spoke intermittently, but fortunately, he roughly explained the content of this golden book.
Everyone listened with gusto, they didn't expect such a complicated story. As if being on the scene, I felt the deceitfulness of the era at the end of the great voyage.
Li Shishi asked: "How did Barbossa design the scene? How did the Fenbao operation become a reminder. Did you miss something?"
Chen Ergou flipped through the book, shook his head and said, "No. He is still an aristocrat at heart, maybe he thinks the means are not very glorious, and the book just mentions it briefly."
Clausen said: "If what is written in this book is true, and this Barbossa is not bragging. Then the real treasures he hides may not be small."
Chen Ergou said with a smile: "It doesn't matter how much treasure there is, I care more about the treasure hunting process. The chart is on the back, but I can't figure it out. I'm afraid I still have to rely on the professor's knowledge."
Clausen smiled and said, "I've seen the chart, and I have some doubts."
"Don't be in a hurry. If I come here, I won't leave so quickly. As long as you, the master, don't drive me away, you might as well let me stay for a few more days."
"Haha, that would be great."
With the addition of Clausen, the authenticity of those unidentified gold coins has also been revealed one by one.
He didn't forget the reward he posted on Weibo.
The public mailbox has been almost overwhelmed by fans watching. Fortunately, I have also received many phone calls and emails from domestic and foreign scholars, related researchers and enthusiastic people.
Enthusiastic researchers refer to British archaeologists' "Coins from the Delhi Sultanate Period in the British Museum", gold coins from the David Collection Museum in the UK, and Mumbai ancient coin auction catalogs, etc., and give a more accurate interpretation of the gold coin text .
According to the interpretation, the obverse of the gold coin translates as "Exalted Sultan, High Point of the World and Faith, Father of Victory, Muhammad Shah Sultan."
According to the interpretation of the British David Collection Museum, the Arabic text on the back edge means: "This gold coin was made in the city of Delhi in 898." (898 in the Islamic calendar is 1498 AD).
The secret of the gold coin inscription has been deciphered, and 5 people won the prize together. It was originally only a reward of 10,000. He simply paid 10,000 yuan each, and thanked several enthusiastic netizens for their help.
