After being warned by the indigenous people near the colony, the hunting team avoided the active area of ​​the indigenous people and hunted a lot of prey before returning.

They returned to the Plymouth Colony in New England, where they had wooden houses and fireplaces built by English immigrants.

"Little guy, let's have a cup of hot tea. Speaking of this tea, it will be shipped from your China to London, and then the London cargo ship will be sold to us Plymouth." Governor Bradford handed Ling'er a cup of steaming black tea.

"Thank you grandpa." Ling'er took the black tea and sat on the wooden bench. The flames of the fireplace warmed his stiff body slightly.

Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Chenggong and others were also sitting in the wooden house to cook the fire. Outside was the most primitive snowstorm in North America.

"Does these black teas come from our China?" Zheng Chenggong held a cup of hot tea, with only a few tea leaves floating on it.

"That's right, and the price is very expensive when it comes to London," said Bradford. "I heard that Chinese merchants entered London in recent years, and the supply of tea increased, so the price has dropped. The demand for tea in New England is very large, and a small handful of tea often has to make several large cups of tea before they can be poured out."

"I didn't expect that the demand for tea is so high. I want to become a tea businessman when I go back." Zheng Zhihu was aware of the potential business opportunity and couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard that the English people were so eager for tea.

"After all, there are few drinks here, and nothing is better than tea and wine. I ask the townsmen to prepare some food for you. Not to mention that your hunting helped us catch a lot of prey, you are also Her Majesty's honorable guests. Sir Pennington asked us to treat you well in his personal letter." After Bradford finished speaking, he pushed open the wooden door and went to find someone to prepare the meal.

“It’s not easy for English people to live here.”

After Zheng Chenggong was left with only his own people in the wooden house, he leaned against the wall of the wooden house. He could hear the whistling sound of a blizzard outside the wooden house slapped against the wooden wall.

At this time, New England had several colonies, that is, several towns, and it was not as prosperous as the local towns in England.

"It's not easy to build a civilization on a new continent where there is almost nothing," said Zheng Zhihu. "Whether it is their New England or our Kingsoft Town, there is a huge shortage of supplies, and the disease we bring has caused a large number of indigenous deaths and triggered a fight for land."

"Our hospital Knights' life on Malta Island is also very difficult. We need to go out to sea to plunder Ottoman ships. Every time we go out to sea, people will be killed or captured." Hannah added firewood into the fireplace, her big eyes with a light blue luster, and her tone was quite heavy.

In the 17th century, when materials were not rich, many groups were expanding for living space, and no place was not engaged in war. Perhaps there was no need to worry about food and clothing. Only the powerful and powerful forces of various forces were not worried about food and clothing.

Ling'er seemed to feel the atmosphere was a little depressed: "Are we going to stay here this winter?"

Zheng Zhihu held a roll of tobacco in his hand: "If you want to set off for Europe in winter, it's OK, but not to mention the difficulty of replenishing supplies, it is easy to get frostbite in the sea and cause unnecessary casualties. I think the group of people in the scientific expedition team should be interested in New England and some species around them, and they are such a group of people."

"I suggest you better take the Barbados route to London City, the Atlantic route to the north is too dangerous." At this time, Bradford returned to the wooden house.

"Why do you say that?" Zheng Zhihu asked.

"There is a current from further north on the Atlantic route to the north. Icebergs will appear from time to time on the route. If your wooden sailboat is hit by an iceberg, it will be really destroyed," Bradford said.

"Iceberg..." Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Chenggong and others realized that this current was likely to be the Labrador cold current, and the iceberg from Greenland posed a huge threat to the Atlantic route.

Especially when sailing on the northwest route with higher latitudes in winter, it is undoubtedly a difficult adventure.

"If we want to arrive in Europe as soon as possible, we may need to return to Barbados and take a warmer southern route," said Zheng Chenggong.

"Indeed, it may take two months to arrive in London next spring, which is not enough to relieve the threat of the iceberg. We are likely to sail from Barbados to Europe." Zheng Zhihu did not dare to take the risk of taking five ships to the dangerous northwest route.

"Don't rush to leave New England, at least we will be replenished and inspected here before the end of this winter. Our food supply is not a problem. There are rich roasted turkeys today." Bradford was still very enthusiastic about the guests who had told the Queen to greet him.

After a while, some townsmen brought in what he said, roasted turkey, some bread, potatoes and other food, as well as a lot of beer and tea.

Bradford also invited several managers of the Plymouth Colonial to have a meal with this group of guests from the East.

"I think if a piece of land has a more effective development method and can create more wealth, then the land will eventually be carried out in this way. The indigenous people occupied a large amount of land. They are the indigenous people of this land, but the way they use the land is too inefficient. The land can only be more valuable in our hands." A colony manager published his high argument on the dining table.

Their group had a pretty good meal, and the drunken people slapped the table while talking loudly about what happened recently in the colony or the adventures on sailing.

"If you are tired, go down and rest first, I'll deal with them." Zheng Zhihu saw that Ling'er was tired because she was young and had been involved in hunting in the snow, so he signaled to Zheng Chenggong and Hannah and asked them to take Ling'er down.

"These Englishmen can really talk after getting drunk, and they probably don't have any entertainment activities in the colony." Hannah led Ling'er to push out the wooden house.

As soon as they came out of the wooden house, a howling blizzard swept over, causing Hannah's Kyushu Army Navy standard coat to fly.

Hanna was blocking Ling'er, while Zheng Chenggong stood up again to help Hanna block the strong wind. His height was now higher than Hanna.

"You seem to have grown a lot taller." Hannah was 1.7 meters tall, and she looked tall among men. When she entered the naval martial arts hall, Zheng Chenggong was even shorter than her. But before she knew it, Zheng Chenggong was now surpassing her.

"People always grow." Zheng Chenggong replied.
