Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 1386 David Belmondo
The captain's cabin wasn't large, but it was decorated with many ornaments.

There are many specimens, including animal heads and several types of fish.

Judging from these specimens, the captain was a hunter who also enjoyed making specimens of his prey.

The captain was short and stout, very sturdy, and his bronze complexion suggested he was someone who frequently spent his time at sea.

However, what caught Xu San's attention the most was his red beard and peaked cap, which made him look like a captain.

The red beard reminded Xu San of that legendary pirate.

In the 16th century Mediterranean, Redbeard was a name that struck fear into the hearts of many.

According to Xu San's memory, Redbeard was two people, a pair of pirate brothers from the Ottoman Empire.

Barbarossa Orruci and Barbarossa Hayreddin.

Although there were two people, the legendary pirate in people's mouths was the younger brother, Barbarossa Hayreddin.

The older brother loves to explore and seek out the unknown world, while the younger brother prefers to conquer using force.

At the time, they wielded considerable influence, even affecting the political landscape of North Africa.

The elder brother, Orruci, was an adventurous and politically ambitious pioneer, while the younger brother, Hayreddin, was a more strategic and capable builder and commander who successfully integrated pirate forces into the imperial system, profoundly changing the balance of power in the Mediterranean at the time.

However, Xu San disliked the pirate species.

The idea of ​​getting something for nothing always gives people a sense of emptiness, and besides, he has never had many good female partners in Europe and America.

Captain Redbeard was very enthusiastic; upon seeing Xu San, he immediately strode forward and shook hands with him.

He introduced himself by swinging his arms up and down, "Hello, Mr. Edogawa, I am the captain of this Madeira, David Belmondo." "Hello, Captain Belmondo!" Xu San thought for a moment and asked, "Are you French?"

“My father is French, my mother is Portuguese, and I take after my mother, so I’m Portuguese!” David replied simply. “Is it my surname that made you guess I’m French?”

Xu San nodded. "I know a Frenchman whose surname is also Belmonte."

“There are many surnames like this in France!” David replied, then brought up the issue of surnames again, asking, “This is the first time I’ve encountered the Japanese surname Edogawa. Is it a noble surname?”

David thought Xu San's speech and manners were quite impressive, which is why he asked that question.

"I guess so, but it's fallen on hard times!" Xu San replied vaguely.

David gestured for Xu San to sit down, then picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of black tea.

The tea table wasn't large, and it was covered with a red checkered menu, giving it a somewhat rustic feel.

Xu San picked up his teacup and took a sip.

not bad.

It's probably Sri Lankan black tea. This type of black tea has a noticeable astringency, a refreshing taste, and a typically darker color. It's very popular in Europe.

Unprocessed tea leaves are more suitable for making drinks like milk tea.

"No sugar?" David asked, watching Xu San drink his black tea straight away.

"In the East, putting sugar in tea is considered heresy." After saying that, Xu San thought for a moment and added, "Except for Indians!"

“Indians?!” Da Shuo seemed to be recalling some unpleasant memories. “Their eating habits are really terrible. They waste all those good spices.”
