Golden Fishery

The dinner that Butler took Qin Shiou to was a snack street, not a high-end restaurant in a big hotel.

Of course, this is not the same as a street full of food stalls in St. Johns, but a street full of exquisite small restaurants with various flavors.

For lunch and dinner in the next few days, Qin Shiou and the fishermen ate on this street, tasting delicious food from all over the world.

At Whale Restaurant, he drank Miami's local vanilla juice and ate Asian-style black bean snapper and coconut rice.

In the Pigeon Restaurant, a small restaurant that specializes in Swiss continental cuisine, he tasted Swiss-style lamb chops, tender steak Sabina and whole duck roasted in orange sauce.

When we arrived at Wishing Restaurant, we tasted dishes that mixed Latin American flavors and tropical flavors. The watermelon cilantro sesame shrimp and charcoal-grilled scallops with smoked mushrooms and herb sauce tasted great, and Qin Shiou and the fishermen ate them all.

But the good times are always short-lived. After four days ashore, Billy called: "Qin, you found something useful, come and have a look."

Qin Shiou bid farewell to Butler, and took the Farewell to return to the waters of Bermuda to see the "useful things" that Billy said.

Billy acted swiftly and decisively. In just over four days, he completed the basic salvage of the two sunken ships, and almost all valuable items were salvaged.

As soon as he boarded the salvage ship, the first thing Qin Shiou saw was a large pile of gold and silver coins being processed by the staff.

Just as he was worried, these gold and silver coins were all corroded and disfigured. Most are several pieces glued together.

Billy came to hug Qin Shiou, Qin Shiou handed him the thermos box, and said: "It contains our Chinese roast duck. Hurry up and eat it. I guess you may not eat very well at sea these few days."

Hearing this, Billy smiled and said, "Good man, I love you so much, you don't know what the hell I'm eating these days! Burgers, sandwiches, pizza, pasta, damn it, all That's it. All that!"

Open the thermal box, Billy is not heating. Roll the roast duck directly into the pancake and eat it with the sauce. In addition to roast duck, Qin Shiou also brought sixi meatballs and Mexican grilled steak and other delicacies, all packed in the snack street, and there are still a lot in the refrigerator.

These items may be frozen and reheated. The taste will be less, but it is also much better than burgers and pizza.

Qin Shiou looked at the gold and silver coins, turned around and shook his head: "It seems that these things can't be sold for much.

"

With his mouth full of steak, Billy cursed vaguely: "Damn the United States, damn the mint, they must have cut corners! Fuck, the copper and iron content in these gold and silver coins must exceed the standard, otherwise they wouldn't rust like this !"

Qin Shiou said: "How much can gold and silver coins sell for?"

Billy swallowed the steak, thought for a while, and said, "Twenty million, right? We have to look at Little Black's channel. If the channel is good, it's possible to double it to forty million. If it's all auctioned, it's only 20 million." .”

"Canadian dollar?"

"Dollars."

Qin Shiou said in amazement: "Can it be worth so much?"

Billy laughed. He took Qin Shiou to the captain's cabin, opened a safe, and inside were stacks of neatly arranged gold and silver coins. These coins were well preserved, with occasional rust. But the overall condition is good.

"I'm talking about these. They have been around for more than two hundred and fifty years. One is worth at least ten thousand dollars!" Billy said proudly.

But then, he became unhappy again: "Fake, if the salvaged gold coins are well protected, then my good buddy, we have harvested more than 500 million US dollars this time!"

Billy gritted his teeth as he spoke, and scolded the Mint for being so evil that it cheated taxpayers with copper and iron pretending to be gold and silver.

Qin Shiou was satisfied, and said, "That's not bad, buddy, isn't twenty million dollars enough?"

Billy laughed and said, "Of course not enough, Qin, of course not enough! God also knows this, so he brought us another good thing, come, come and open your eyes with me!"

Qin Shiou thought that the good things Billy said were gold and silver coins, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The two went to the deck, and there was a large box five or six meters long, two meters wide and high, covered by a waterproof tarpaulin. Plastic wrap wrapped around a large wooden sculpture.

The whole body of the wooden carving is black, about four meters long, like a thick boa constrictor, but it looks weird, with a head like a crocodile, but with ears like a horse, teeth like a blade, and a sharp horn on its head. There are rough scales, and under the jaw is a circle of lion's mane-like carvings.

"What is this?" Qin Shiou asked, he saw that this thing was completely different, it was dark and scary, and he couldn't see where it was worth.

Billy stroked the box excitedly and said: "You won't believe it when you say it, buddy, this is a bump! Do you know bump? Oh, of course, I'm talking nonsense, you must know this thing, yes, This is a collision angle, the collision angle of five hundred years ago!"

It can be seen that this thing should be quite valuable, and Billy was so excited that he babbled nonsense after seeing it.

Qin Shiou signaled him to calm down, and asked him to talk about what's so great about a bump: "Of course it's great! Dude, of course it's great! Do you know when this bump appeared last time? Da Vinci and Columbus were still alive at that time!"

Billy patted the box and asked Qin Shiou to look at it when he got to the middle: "Look, what's engraved on it?"

Qin Shiou took a closer look, and there was a line of English letters engraved on the back of Zhuangjiao: .

"What do you mean?" He really didn't know the meaning of this sentence in English.

Billy said: "This is the name of the ship that hit the horn! No., the name of the most famous flagship of the Norwegian King John's sea fleet in the 15th century!"

"I checked the information and there was indeed such a ram on the ship. It was very famous at that time. The ram was called the 'king's demon'."

"However, this ship sank to the bottom of the sea in a fire in 1495, and the ram disappeared. I thought it had been burned. It was a turbulent era at that time, and wars were frequent. The ship caught fire in the port. It was a A natural disaster*, the fire destroyed all the ships in the port, frustrated King John's plan to unify Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and changed the history of the Middle Ages in Europe!"

"Now, man, we stand with the witnesses of history! Especially when it not only witnessed the Great Fire in Denmark, but also witnessed the rise of the US Navy!"

Qin Shiou understood this way. The ram was fished from the pirate flagship Allah's Sword. It was estimated that the pirates obtained it by some means. They installed it on the flagship to scare the enemy, and it turned out to be theirs now. loot.

"Then how much is it worth?" Qin Shiou still paid more attention to this. (to be continued)
