In early spring and March, the warm wind blows. This is the best climate on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. There is neither the strong winds of the northern continent in winter, nor the violent typhoons of the Caribbean in summer. The Kingdom's fleet traveled eastward along the coast for 400 miles in a calm manner, then entered the mostly closed bay of sandbars and arrived at an unusually wide coastal lagoon.

"Lord God! Such a big lake?!"

Puap stood at the bow of the boat, looked around, but could not see the end of the great lake. At this time, the tide was high, and the raging tide poured in through two gaps in the bay, and the tidal flats along the coast quickly rose to the surface of the lake. Thousands of seabirds took off from the tidal flat full of food, circling around reluctantly. The gray-earth warrior looked up, only to see the wings stretched all over the sky, soaring under the rising sun.

"Young, young!"

Dark Snake's eyes widened blankly, looking at the flying sky and listening to the chirping of birds. Didi held his finger in his mouth and stared wide-eyed, watching the sparkling waves in the lake.

"Fish, so many fish! Fat and big sea fish must be delicious!"

"Haha! This is the largest and most fertile lake along the entire coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, and even on the entire peninsula!"

With a smile on his face, Ticaro stretched out his hands and drew a big circle.

"A hundred and twenty miles from east to west, and a hundred miles from north to south, are all 'Great Lakes'!"

"Hey! It's so big!"

The old militia Chihuaco watched for a moment, amazed.

"What's the name of this big lake?"

"It's called 'Great Lake'!"

"What's the name of this lake?"

"It's called 'Great Lake'!"

Ticaro groaned with a smile and repeated again.

"For the Mayan tribes along the lake, there has never been a bigger lake than this lake. The big lake in their mouth is the only one! And their main belief is Chuck, the rain **** who is in charge of rainfall, lakes and abundance."

Chivako was startled, a little speechless. Afterwards, the Mayan businessman pointed at a Mayan fishing village on the sandbar and said with a smile.

"This sandbar separates the sea from the big lake, leaving only two gaps in the east and west. When the tide rises and falls, the current will be very fast and turbulent. When the tide recedes, there will be fish, shrimp and shellfish in the lake that have no time to escape. At that time, not only the birds in the sky will come down to peck, but the fishermen in the village will also rush over to pick up the fish and shrimps that can be seen everywhere on the smooth road.”

The so-called "Great Lake" is Laguérminos in Campeche, Mexico today. There are large mangroves and flying birds by the lake. The scenery is beautiful, and it is rich in delicious seafood.

"correct!"

The Mayan merchant Tikalo thought for a moment, then patted himself on the head violently. He swallowed, took the arm of the old militiaman, and said to everyone with a smile.

"Captain Qi, Captain Pu, Priest Tomat... The fishing village here produces a kind of giant prawns, which are extremely delicious! If the local fishermen catch them, they will deliberately keep this kind of prawns for more than ten days, and then raise them. In the sea, leave it to the fleet passing by along the way... let’s go! The fleet is about to go ashore to replenish fresh water, and the few of us are going to have a big meal!"

"What? Go ashore, what prawns do you eat?"

The old militia Chihuaco pursed his lips, hesitating a little. The experience of the past few days is still vivid in his memory, and he already has some shadows about going ashore.

"No, no, no!"

"Captain Qi, don't be afraid. In this fishing village, the ships of the merchant group often dock. There are only a few hundred villagers in total, and only a dozen or so soldiers can be considered fighters. There will never be any risk to the kingdom's fleet. !...Besides, the prawns in the village are really delicious!"

"Then what kind of prawns, are they really so delicious?"

Hearing this, Puap was a little moved. He patted the old militiaman on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Old man Qi, if you don't go, stay and watch the boat. I'll take a few people up to have a look..."

"Hmm... OK! You go! Bring dozens of warriors ashore for supplies. I'll stay and watch the ship..."

The old militiaman Chihuaco thought for a while, and the fleet really wanted to replenish fresh water here, so he nodded in agreement. Afterwards, he lowered his voice, leaned close to Puap's ear, and whispered.

fo

"Look at that bald fox!"

"Eh? ... good!"

Puap nodded blankly. The old militiaman looked at Priest Tomat again and asked with a smile.

"Priest Tomat, are you going ashore too?"

Priest Tomat nodded solemnly. He had two more copies of the "Ali Sutra" with pictures and texts in his hand, and explained seriously.

"I didn't go ashore to eat prawns. I wanted to spread the glory of the Lord God! Praise the Lord God!..."

"...Praise the Lord God!"

The old militiamen laughed and prayed. Then, he thought for a while, his eyes softened a little, and he said to Puap.

"Old Pu, bring Dark Snake and Didi with you! Try those prawns!"

"Eh? ... good!"

As the sun rose into the sky, the warriors replenished fresh water and all gathered in the fishing village on the sandbar. Dozens of Mayan fishermen carefully brought large jars of fish soup, grilled shrimp and fish, and handed them to the warriors with weapons. And the old village chief laughed with him, and with a few nimble villagers, he brought six clay pots of grilled lobster, and respectfully handed them to the leader of the gentlemen.

"Huh? Are there really such big shrimps?"

Huitu Puap reached out and grabbed the largest prawn from the clay pot. The prawn was more than forty centimeters long, almost as thick as his forearm, and it weighed several kilograms. Puapu smelled the fragrance of the lobster, poked the hard shell, and didn't know how to eat it for a while.

"Such a hard shell? How do you eat it?"

"Haha! This is simple! Twist off the head of the shrimp, sprinkle some salt into the shrimp body at most, and then just **** the meat out!"

"Huh? What about these two big pincers? How do you break them apart?"

Puapu stretched out his hand and stroked the pliers which were bigger than his palm, amazed in his heart.

"Hiss! What a beast in the sea! It can be easily caught by fishermen..."

"Oh, those pliers, don't bother to break them open, just throw them away. Anyway, there are plenty of lobsters, so everyone will be full! Come and taste this delicious food! You don't need to add anything, at most you can sprinkle some salt if you don't like it , Keep it delicious until you cry!"

Ticaro couldn't wait, twisted off a palm-sized lobster head, dug out a mouthful of white and tender fresh shrimp meat, and handed it to his mouth to chew slowly, with an expression of enjoyment immediately on his face.

"Ah! What a nostalgic taste...the taste of Maya's hometown!..."

"Huh! Really, really delicious!"

Puapu stretched out his hand, grabbed the forearm-long shrimp meat, held it in his hand and gnawed a few mouthfuls, and his face suddenly showed surprise. When the prawn meat is in the mouth, it is tender and fresh, with a natural sweetness and a slight salty taste, and the taste is very bouncy. The gray-soil warrior immediately put his head down and worked hard, and he ate two catties of lobster meat in one sitting, which was even more refreshing than smoking magic cigarettes!

"Delicious, delicious! Not enough, not enough! Ticaro, let them have two more cans of prawns!"

"It's delicious! It's delicious! It's better than honey!"

"Right! Dark Snake is right!"

Dark Snake held the prawn and tried hard to dig out the meat of the prawn, his eyes curved into crescent moons again. Didi next to him stuck out his tongue, whimpered indistinctly, and sucked the gravy from the shrimp shell.

"Woooooo! Daddy Qi is so kind! Going out to sea and sailing is happiness!"

As for the main **** priest, Tomat, he was concentrating on lowering his head, using the obsidian dagger in his hand to nimbly pick out the shrimp meat~lightnovelpub.net~ The proficiency of this technique and the precision of the movements are simply amazing! Beside him, there was already a pile of empty lobster shells.

"Okay! I'm going to tell the village chief to roast all the prawns!"

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ticaro glanced at the people who were concentrating on eating shrimp, and walked towards the village chief leisurely. In this isolated Mayan fishing village, no one speaks Nahua. The only people in the fleet who are familiar with the Mayan language are Ti Kalo and the guide he brought.

"...Do you know everything?"

"...Understood, the nobleman who is bigger than the sky, I will do it later!"

Hearing Tikalo's order, the old village chief bowed his head again and again, even lowering his head to his knees. Afterwards, he immediately greeted a few villagers and continued to prepare delicious food for the gentlemen.

The corners of Ticaro's mouth curled up and he smiled. When he turned around again, he already had a calm expression on his face.

"Ha, it's really delicious!...The taste of Maya's hometown is just around the corner!"
