The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 88 Another Big Ship

Wang Jingru and her team pulled up all three small boats, as they were there to save their lives.

This big ship was connected to the two big ships behind it with a big chain.

They now had three large ships, and Xuanyuan Lei and his men removed all the steel spikes and wires used to prevent pirates.

The people on the ship were divided into some of the people on this ship. Once they left this sea area, the pirates gradually disappeared in this endless sea, and were eaten by sharks without leaving any residue.

The ship continued to move forward. This time they were no longer afraid of encountering pirates. They also had enough guns, but no one on the ship knew how to shoot. Wang Jingru took out guns and taught them how to shoot and how to load bullets.

These people learned how to aim very quickly. Once they had mastered the use of guns, they were distributed to everyone from the cabin.

Each of them held a gun, and they all smiled foolishly, as if they had obtained some treasure. In their eyes, it was indeed a treasure, after all, their country did not have and could not produce such a thing.

Everyone was like a child who had gotten a favorite toy, and they even hugged the gun when they slept.

Xuanyuan Lei was a general, he knew what this gun meant. If every soldier in their army had a gun, there would be no need to fight on the battlefield. They had all seen the power of this gun, it was truly amazing.

They sailed on the sea for more than half a month without encountering an island. Even if they encountered an island, they could not get close to it due to too many reefs.

During the journey, everyone got used to the life at sea. After a month, they saw land and many fishermen. The fishermen wore very strange clothes, all of them were short-sleeved shirts and trousers.

Their three large ships attracted the attention of the fishermen and even more so the people on the coast.

Wang Jingru asked the big boat to dock. It seemed that this shore was specially used for docking boats. There were boats of all sizes parked at the shore.

Wang Jingru asked them to wait on the boat while she got off the boat to communicate with the local people. The local people spoke English, the same language as the pirates.

Wang Jingru chatted with the local people for a while. According to their description, people from nearby countries often come to their coast to barter.

It is equivalent to a port, and they will also use gold and silver to purchase local products.

The most popular items sold locally are sea fish, pearls, clothing fabrics, and various small gadgets.

Wang Jingru, Wu Tianyang and Xuanyuan Lei, the three of them entered the market here. Xuanyuan Lei and Wu Tianyang dazzled them as they walked along. There were many things they had never seen and couldn't even name.

But in Wang Jingru's eyes, these things are very backward. After all, some things are very advanced in modern times, such as clocks, which Wu Tianyang and Xuanyuan Lei do not recognize.

They didn't recognize the bicycles, as those in modern times were still very clumsy. There were also all kinds of crystal products, many things they had never seen before, leather boots, and the strange local costumes.

There were all kinds of accessories and daily necessities everywhere, including the pens they used. They wanted to buy anything that the Dayu Dynasty didn't have, but the locals still liked to barter.

They walked around the market and bought something they found interesting. Wang Jingru knew English and contacted the local person who managed the market.

He planned to barter with people at the market, but the items he had to exchange were a bit too much. If he didn't want to be ripped off, he could only find the local manager.

This foreigner was named Mai Wei. There were a lot of cloth and food in Wang Jingru’s space, but she didn’t know what people in this country ate and drank, and what crops they had.

He needs to get to know this place well. If he wants to integrate into the place, he needs to get along with the people here.

So Wang Jingru asked Xuanyuan Lei and Wu Tianyang to go back to the boat, and he strolled around the small town to see what each store sold. After he walked around, he found that there were no other vegetables in this place.

There are only some green cabbages and lettuces, nothing else. They eat fish from the sea, and they don't stew them, they only roast them.

Wang Jingru went to a local restaurant, where they had grilled meat and fish. What they called grilled food was a frying pan, and the most common food was eggs. The staple food was bread, which Wang Jingru didn't like.

But you have to eat it no matter how much you dislike it, otherwise you will feel hungry. Not to mention the eggs are okay, the meat is only grilled to medium rare. But I see that everyone is eating happily and looks like they are enjoying it.

After Wang Jingru had her meal, she got to know some local people and learned about their customs. They were poor and ate potatoes, but no meat. They would mash potatoes and sprinkle them with seasonings to make a meal.

Families with better conditions would fry an egg and eat it. Beef is also very expensive and not affordable for ordinary families.

Usually she just bakes some bread to eat. Wang Jingru has a lot of white flour and cornmeal in her space, and she was thinking about exchanging something with the local residents.

As for seafood, he didn't want to change it. They sailed on the sea, casting nets as they went, and caught a lot of dried fish.

Then we can only exchange some local things, such as their fabrics, which are different from Daewoo Dynasty's fabrics. We can exchange some of them back, and some lettuce seeds. Wang Jingru wants to exchange some of what they have here.

We would exchange two local rickshaws for two, two bicycles for two, and it would be even better if we could get some guns and ammunition, as it seems that all the wealthy local residents have guns and ammunition.

He also wanted to exchange clocks, crystals, various strange gadgets, leather shoes, and everything that was not available in the Dayu Dynasty. However, he had to go back and discuss with his husband and elder brother what to exchange.

After strolling around the small town for a morning, Wang Jingru returned to the boat. The local villagers were rich, so they had to be on guard. The boats could not stay on the shore at night but had to stay on the sea. People had to be sent to guard the three ships, with guns loaded and ready for defense at any time.

After having dinner on the boat, no one got off. When it was almost dark, they drove the boat to a place more than a hundred meters away from the shore and stopped on the sea.

Thanks to Wang Jingru's foresight, the boat was docked at sea. At night, some local villagers came to rob. Their boat was very large, while the boats of the local villagers were just small boats used for fishing.

So when they arrived at the seaside, they saw the boat parked more than a hundred meters away from them. They were so angry that they stood on the shore and cursed for a while before leaving.

They did not dare to act rashly because they saw during the day that everyone on the boat was holding a gun, and there were more than a hundred people on the boat. They spent the night safely.

Wang Jingru had a lot of food in her space and she planned to exchange it with the local residents.

I don’t know whether the local residents have eaten rice before, but regardless of whether they have, Wang Jingru plans to cook a pot of bacon rice.

After it was done, the aroma filled the air and spread from far away. All the foreigners on the shore smelled the aroma and came to their big boat, knocking on the boat and asking what they were making.

It's so delicious, can I exchange some? When Wang Jingru saw that business was coming, she quickly took all the raw rice and cooked rice off the boat.

When they arrived at the shore, they found a wide open space. Wang Jingru did not use a bowl. The local poor families used leaves, which were plucked from the banana trees by the sea. They washed them with water and used them to wrap their meals.

I exchanged things with them one spoonful at a time, and got a lot of miscellaneous things in return, which could also be bought with gold.

Some local people exchanged a golden spoon for a bowl of rice, and some people exchanged a small piece of gold for a bowl of rice. It’s not that the locals are stupid, it’s just that they have never eaten it, so they don’t know what it is, and it smells so good.

When they ate such delicious food, they gobbled it up in ravenous mouths. When they came back to buy more, it was gone. Wang Jingru cooked a pot of rice, but it was still not enough for the locals to line up to share.

The things they exchanged were very few, just a pair of leather shoes. The rest of the people were still used to using gold for shopping. There was little silver in their area, but a lot of gold.

Even the jewellery worn by the locals is all made of gold, and they wear a lot of jewellery. They even wear gold ornaments on their heads, necks, hands, feet and ears.

The local women were all glittering with jewels and gold. Wang Jingru was envious. Wouldn't it be tiring to walk with such a heavy head and so many gold ornaments on her body every day? Maybe this is the local custom!

The local people ate the rice and thought it was much more fragrant than bread. A local wealthy businessman found Wang Jingru and wanted to buy things from her or give her gifts in exchange.

Wang Jingru then started talking about business with him. Wang Jingru wanted to exchange some guns and ammunition, which was the most important thing. Of course, this also belonged to smuggling arms, but the rich businessman was also a capable man and was able to get guns and ammunition from the local underworld forces.

Wang Jingru said that this rice is very precious and difficult to grow. Even if I brought these out, they are all the food grown by the local villagers.

Wang Jingru said that this rice is so precious. Only people in our royal family can eat this rice. Ordinary people can't eat it at all.

This is the staple food of our royal family and nobles. After Wang Jingru said this, the foreign rich businessman felt that this rice was even more precious.

Looking at the plump and crystal clear rice grains, he became more determined to get them, because no one else had them but he had them, so he could sell them at a high price.

The wealthy businessman agreed to Wang Jingru's request. Wang Jingru had 1 kilograms of rice, and he planned to exchange it for 1 guns and 20 bullets.

Wang Jingru had an expression that said "I've been at a disadvantage" and was still hesitant and didn't want to exchange. The rich businessman quickly made a decision and they would exchange on the coast in two days, handing over the food in one hand and the gun in the other.

Then Wang Jingru took out the cucumbers and tomatoes in the space and exchanged them for ten bicycles and several hundred watches from a local shop selling watches and bicycles.

The shop owner received these vegetables as if they were treasures. The cucumbers were crunchy and delicious. The tomatoes were sour and sweet, very refreshing.

Before Wang Jingru left, the shop owner sold cucumbers and tomatoes at high prices and made a lot of money.

There are still a lot of fruits in Wang Jingru's space, which are not available here. Wang Jingru thought, she should replace the guns and ammunition first, and then replace the next batch of things.

Soon, the people who came to change things at night came, and it was at night. Wang Jingru asked everyone to be on high alert and ready. Guns were ambushed and people were ready.

Wang Jingru placed 10,000 kilograms of rice on the shore. She was not afraid of these people snatching it away because she could put the rice into the space with just a wave of her hand.

There were a lot of these people, all pulled by horse-drawn carriages, with guns packed in wooden boxes, and bullets also packed in wooden boxes.

Wang Jingru used her mental power to investigate. She found that there were enough guns and ammunition. She did not ask anyone to count them. Instead, she asked them to quickly transport the guns and ammunition to the boat. They also loaded bags of rice onto the truck.

After both parties moved all their belongings, they left. Wang Jingru didn't believe that it was so peaceful, so she asked people to get on the boat and drive it away from the shore.

As these people watched the boat leave the shore, they felt a little regretful. They shouldn't have let them load the things onto the boat so quickly.

The people they prepared had not yet attacked, but they did not dare to act rashly now, because what they had just sold were weapons.

These people left in anger, unwilling to accept the fact that they were not able to rob their fellow criminals.

On the second day, many merchants from the town came and stood on the shore waving to Wang Jingru, wanting to exchange some vegetables with her. Wang Jingru was also very generous in trading with them and exchanged some crystals and crystal jewelry.

They made ready-made clothes and cloth of various colors. Wang Jingru found that their cattle were very fat, much fatter than the cattle in their Dayu Dynasty. She heard that these cattle were meat cattle and they killed them to make steaks.

Wang Jingru secretly exchanged two old cows with them, one male and one female, and put the two old cows into the space. There are also diamond mines in the local area. Wang Jingru exchanged some for rice.

Wang Jingru took out the roasted sweet potatoes. Once they were cooked, the fragrance wafted far away. The local people had never eaten it before, so they were all excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Because the number of roasted sweet potatoes was limited, they fought each other until their heads were broken and bloody just to have a bite of sweet potato. Xuanyuan Lei said that the people here were really barbaric, fighting like this just for a bite of sweet potato.

Wang Jingru exchanged sweet potatoes for a lot of diamonds with them, and didn't exchange anything else with the local people.

Just as they decided to leave the next day, a robbery occurred that night. Wang Jingru and her group's boat was on the sea, but the local people also had three large boats and gathered more than 200 people.

These people were just like the pirates. They attacked Wang Jingru and her friends with guns. Wang Jingru was well prepared because she had already taught the bandits in the space how to shoot and load bullets.

Wang Jingru was thinking about preparing for an emergency, fearing that the fishermen on the boat might be killed. The sea is different from the land. Sometimes when you encounter bad weather, a storm, or high waves, you can easily lose your life.

Wang Jingru arranged all the people, picked up guns and started fighting with the people on the opposite side. This time Wang Jingru was really angry. In the past, she thought about not taking advantage of others and exchanging things with people.
