The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 146 English Country Love Story 8
Jia Huan's sudden return made the Bennet family very happy.

Mrs. Bennet hugged Jia Huan and called herself "Baby".

This child is giving her face too much.

Speaking of her daughter becoming a friend of the princess, and being able to enter the palace every week to accompany the princess, the surrounding people are envious, which greatly satisfies Mrs. Bennet's vanity.

Therefore, even seeing Jia Huan still dressed in men's clothing and riding astride a horse like a man, Mrs. Bennet didn't say anything.

Mrs. Bennet loudly ordered Mrs. Hill to prepare sumptuous food to celebrate Catherine's return home.

The other sisters gathered around Jia Huan, asking him about the affairs of the palace and about Princess Victoria.

They are very yearning for the upper class, but also very curious.

Jia Huan briefly told them about some things in the palace. In fact, she wrote letters to her family every week, which had already written a lot about the palace and Victoria.

She even helped to find a governess who could teach the girls court manners, sent him to Longborn, and taught the Bennet girls for a while.

No way, the remuneration of such a tutor is too high.

The governess taught at the Bennet home for three months.

The eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Bennet family are very smart, three months is enough for them to learn all the court etiquette.

As for proficiency, they need to practice by themselves.

The remaining two young girls can learn from their older sisters.

Therefore, the behavior of the four girls in front of Jia Huan is very elegant, which surprised Jia Huan.

That bluffing Lydia turned out to be elegant?

Incredible.

It's not that he's prejudiced against Lydia, but Lydia is really a rowdy master.

Jia Huan never associated elegance with Lydia.

The whole family had a hearty dinner.

After dinner, Jia Huan followed Mr. Bennet to his study.

Jia Huan told the truth about his going to sea.

Mr. Bennet did not speak for a long time.

After a while, Mr. Bennet said: "Since you have already made up your mind, I will not say anything. This path is your own choice, so go on firmly. I will support you. As for On your mother's side, it's better not to let her know what you did."

Jia Huan nodded in agreement.

"At present, only Princess Victoria, Colonel Howell, my father and I know about going to sea."

Mr. Bennet is a little flattered, he has a common secret with the two big men!
Mr. Bennet looked at his fourth daughter responsibly.

This daughter is indeed different from her child.

She is not a disgrace to the Bennet family as others think, on the contrary, she may become the glory of the Bennet family.

Jia Huan stayed in Longborn for half a month, accompanying Mrs. Bennet and a group of sisters.

Because she is not of social age, she cannot go to the dance.

Those who were curious about her all came to Bennet's house to see Jia Huan in the name of visiting.

There are many people in the Bennet's house every day, chattering and making a lot of noise.

Mr. Bennet couldn't stand the atmosphere, and spent most of his time in his study.

He only shows up when a man comes to visit.

After half a month, Jia Huan couldn't wait to leave Longborn.

Damn, those passionate women are really scary!

Back in London, Jia Huan came to his ship and found that the crew was almost ready, only...

"Captain, I had already contacted a fruit merchant and ordered a batch of lemons from him. But someone bought the lemons before us." Davis, who was appointed as the first mate by Jia Huan Frustrated, "We will have to stay for a while before we can go to sea."

At this time, everyone already knew that if they did not eat vegetables and fruits containing vitamins during long-term voyages, they would get scurvy.

Therefore, the standard configuration of the navy is to load lemons on board, and other people who go to sea will also prepare a lot of lemons before going to sea.

Jia Huan: "No, set sail according to the plan."

Davis: "But..."

Jia Huan: "Let people buy tea, vegetables, and then soybeans."

Davis: "But tea is too expensive, and vegetables cannot be stored for a long time."

Jia Huan: "I have a way to store vegetables for a long time. You can find a few people and I will teach them that way."

Davis felt that Jia Huan was unreliable, but Jia Huan was the captain of the ship. He had to find a few handy people to meet Jia Huan, and then asked someone to buy some vegetables.

Jia Huan led those handy people to start making kimchi.

Several people:"……"

Hey, this method seems to be able to store vegetables for a long time.

They learn how to make kimchi very hard.

In fact, there are not many skills in it at all. Jia Huan demonstrated it once, and these people learned it.

After Jia Huan taught them how to make kimchi, he taught them how to grow bean sprouts.

Looking at the bean sprouts that grew out, the eyes of these people straightened.

Davis, who came to watch after hearing the news, also straightened his eyes.

He turned his head and looked at Jia Huan with admiration.

The boy knew so much at such a young age, no wonder he was able to become the captain.

Jia Huan waved to the crew: "Let's go!"

"set off!"

The crew responded loudly, and the ship set sail.

Jia Huan held the teacup and sipped the tea in small sips.

Tea is very expensive, so I bought very little, only enough for Jia Huan to drink alone.

There is no way, Jia Huan's other money is used to buy goods shipped to the East.

The money he has accumulated over the years is very little. Part of the money for buying goods is supported by Victoria, and part is given to Jia Huan by Mr. Bennet. Jia Huan and Mr. Bennet split half of the money he earns.

When they arrived in the ancient eastern country, they bought more tea there and distributed some tea to each crew member so that they could drink a cup of tea every day.

It is best to buy some persimmon leaves.

The amount of vitamins contained in persimmon leaves far exceeds that in tea, and it is a must-have for sailing better than lemons.

It's a pity that people don't know it yet.

This road is also considered smooth.

During the period, there were two storms and waves, but they were not too big. Given the strength of the warship, it was natural to get through it safely.

They also encountered pirates, but were easily defeated by them.

The crew of this ship are not ordinary sailors, they are all retired navy, and they have a lot of sea combat experience.

In addition, the warship was equipped with artillery, and the pirates came here to deliver food, but they were robbed by Jia Huan instead.

They also rescued several merchant ships that were threatened by pirates.

The owner of the boat was very grateful to Jia Huan and sent him a generous gift, and asked to follow Jia Huan and their boat for protection.

None of these ships were loaded with opium, so Jia Huan naturally did not refuse them.
