It turns out that these ocean-going vessels have to be inspected every time they make a trip, and the cargo on board cannot be put on the ground until it is inspected. This is only related to the owner of the goods, but the people of the Guanglong Dart Bureau are not subject to this restriction. As long as you don't have any contraband on you, you can get off the ship, just like a modern customs.

"Young Master Rong, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you go to the cold house for a few days and then make plans?" Zhou Kaishan saw that Rong Yuanhang was confused for a moment, and thought that he was born in a wealthy family in Nanbu Zhou, and now he was in trouble for a while, so it was better to lend a helping hand at this moment. Although it is not reported, it is also a gesture to send charcoal in the snow.

Zhou Chuanxin also persuaded: "Yes, Brother Rong, my home is in Xianyang City, near the main dart bureau, come to my house, the younger brother is still reluctant to part with the eldest brother so early." ”

Zhou Kaishan and his son warmly invited Rong Yuanhang to their home as a guest. The latter just wanted to learn about the customs of the world, mainly to investigate the products that can be brought back to the modern era for profit, as well as the local price situation. Then it would be best to have a local person to fetch food and lodging, and to know a little bit about the situation.

"That's a bother." Rong Yuanhang said with a smile.

"Don't bother, Gongzi Rong can condescend to the noble, and my Zhou family has honor."

After disembarking, the rubber boat remained on the ocean-going ship as its tail, but its mission was accomplished. Something worth more than 2,000 yuan, don't do it. Because in the face of so many people, it is impossible to bring it back to the main plane. As for the items on the ship, they can be moved as much as possible, and there is Cailong, an infinitely powerful follower.

……

In the early morning, the wharf is shrouded in a layer of mist, the bustling ferry port is full of sails, and the people on the riverbank are busy early. In the distance, an infinite tall city wall is like a giant dragon in the mist, making this prosperous and dream-like ancient city full of mysterious vicissitudes.

"Guest officer, are you sitting in a sedan chair?"

"Childe, will the little one help you with your luggage?"

"Do you want to stay in the hotel to rest? Our shop is clean and hygienic and the price is ....... ”

"Hero, do you want to travel by car?"

……

As soon as Rong Yuanhang and his entourage got off the wooden bridge erected between the ship and the port, a large group of bitter haha, such as sedan chair drivers and porters, surrounded them. Zhou Kaishan raised his hand to block the hard laborers who were too close, and said in his mouth: "No, no, borrowed and borrowed." ”

Out of the wharf, at the foot of the city wall, on the bank of the Hao River is a lively market, where the wine shops, tea houses, inns and restaurants, all kinds of catering industries are densely packed among them, dense shops are lined up one after another, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder.

"Buns! There are barbecued pork buns, glutinous rice chicken, lotus rong buns, freshly baked, ladies and gentlemen, you have to buy it while it's hot! "The vendor who bought the bun shop tried his best to sell it to passers-by. His voice was long, and he was singing.

Rong Yuanhang felt a little hungry at the moment, but he and Cailong didn't even have half a copper plate on them, and they were embarrassed to ask Zhou Kaishan and his son to buy it, so they could only salivate and sigh lightly.

This trip to the Liu family's caravan ran to the Tianshou Empire and crossed the ocean and sea, which took more than 100 days, and the Zhou father and son were already eager to rush home immediately. Where can you still take care of Rong Yuanhang's small situation?

The gates of Xianyang City are guarded by soldiers from the official inspection department, but their duties are limited to suspicious people or vendors who pull goods into the city to sell. Although Rong Yuanhang's dress was a little strange, he followed Zhou Kaishan and his party to successfully pass the customs and enter the city.

Entering the city, a sense of historical heaviness comes to the face, the magnificent city wall, surrounded by the towering city tower, is the blue brick house, the temple tower, the vertical and wide, can not see the edge. On the orderly street of eight streets and nine mo, red men and green women, tourists are weaving, the traffic is busy, and it is very lively.

Along the way, Rong Yuanhang swept the shops on both sides like a horse, and the small vendors on the roadside also occupied the road, and all kinds of shouts were endless. Small commodities are even more dazzling, there are fans for sale, small silk, handkerchiefs, emerald flowers, umbrellas, straw mats, iron pots, cutting boards, tea, pots and bowls, bamboo chopsticks, wine jars, incense burners, lamp grass, kitchen knives, etc., as well as sugar cane, dense fruit, lychee, persimmon cake .......

Due to its proximity to the pier, there are many seafood shops in the area, including fish gelatin, dried fish, dried shrimp, dried squid, abalone, shark fin, sea dragon seahorse, .......

"Holy! Good stuff! He saw an oversized pair of shark fins hanging from a seafood shop. Involuntarily walked over, looked back at Zhou Kaishan and his son, and quickly asked the shopkeeper: "Hey, boss, how do you sell this shark fin?" ”

A guy in the store nodded and walked over: "Which one do you want?" ”

Rong Yuanhang pointed casually, "This...... How do you sell this? He pointed to a large pair of shark fins. The shopkeeper said: "This is the signature product of our store, the Nine Heavens Giant Wing, the treasure in the wing." If you want it, the four taels and four coins and a pound of silver. ”

"So expensive?" In fact, Rong Yuanhang was not sensitive to this price, so he just replied casually, and pointed to other smaller shark fins and asked, "What about this?" ”

"This is a large flock of wings, one tael and six cents of silver per catty. Childe, according to Xiaoxiao, although the Nine Heavenly Wings outside are big and beautiful, the taste of this large group of wings is especially good. Jiutian wings are still a little coarse, and the gray taste is heavier, this kind of is different, the entrance is fragrant and smooth, the viscose is rich and refreshing, and the meat film is also thin. This sex-to-price ratio is the most unworthy. ”

Rong Yuanhang nodded, but his heart was pounding: One or two dollars and one pound of silver! If you buy it back and sell it in modern times, wouldn't it be a big fortune? Then I also asked about the price of abalone, and the most expensive three dried abalone were nine coins and a pound of silver. The most worthwhile is those dried prawns, which are only two cents of silver and one catty, and one or two silver can buy fifty catties!

This dried prawn is comparable to the price of pork, when he was on the boat, he asked Zhou Chuanxin those dart masters, a pound of fresh pork here is two cents of silver, a pound of pork 0.03 taels of silver, converted into RMB, but three yuan, whether it is mutton, beef or pork, it is about the same price. And these meats are all natural and pollution-free! However, dried prawns are only sold for half a cent of silver! In modern times, such a large shrimp can't be bought for 100 to 200 yuan. Rong Yuanhang couldn't help but sigh, the prices here are too low!

He knew that the current value of silver was four yuan per gram, and as far as he knew, one catty was sixteen taels here, and one tael should not be fifty grams, but thirty-seven grams, that is, one tael of full-colored silver was only worth one hundred and fifty yuan in modern times. But here, the purchasing power of a tael of silver is considerable.

For example, although the price of rice has risen now, it costs one or two or six dollars of silver per stone, but it is still much more than the main plane. It is only two yuan a pound of rice. Whether it is sparse vegetables, chicken, goose, duck, mutton, beef, pork, cloth, etc., these prices are clearly understood through the dart masters, and the others are not yet known, but it is enough to show that compared to the main plane city, the price here is so affordable that it makes him laugh!

"Brother Rong!" Zhou Chuanxin rushed over with a sweaty face on his face and said, "If I hadn't seen Cailong standing at the door, the younger brother would have thought that the eldest brother had lost it, so you were here?" ”

"Hehe, on a whim, come here to ask the price." Rong Yuanhang was a little reluctant to glance at the huge shark fin in this seafood shop. I secretly decided that I would buy it back when I got some silver in two days.

"Let's go, let's go home."

……

Zhou Kaishan's home is a two-entry courtyard covering an area of hundreds of square meters, and there is a small vegetable garden in the backyard, and there is a stout toon tree in the middle of the second courtyard, which is estimated to be a hundred years old, and the whole yard is relatively old.

As soon as Rong Yuanhang and Cailong followed Zhou Kaishan and his son into the laneway, they saw two horned children, a man and a woman, at the gate, playing and chasing. The eldest is about six or seven years old, a girl, wearing a floral shirt and homespun trousers, with a big patch on the knee under the trouser tube, and the two bun corners are tied up with cloth bands, looking beautiful and lovely. The youngest boy was only four or five years old, and he wore a brass longevity lock on his chest and a light red belly pocket. He didn't even wear pants, revealing a little dingding like an earthworm. When he laughed, he lacked two front teeth, and his willow eyebrows were big and his eyes were very cute.

"Brother! Daddy! As soon as the child and girl found the comer, their faces immediately showed surprise.

"Daddy! Brother! Oh, Daddy's back! The little boy rushed over excitedly, opened his arms and threw himself into the arms of Zhou Kaishan, who was squatting!

"Hey, little Shouyi, are you obedient!" Zhou Kaishan smiled heartily, and the stubble went straight to the little boy's face.

"Well, I can listen to my mother at home, Dad, did you bring something delicious back?" The little boy asked.

When Zhou Kaishan heard this, he immediately showed embarrassment, and said with a smile: "This ......, hehe, dad hasn't had time to buy it yet." But after a while, my father will give you money and let your sister take you to the street to buy delicious food, okay? ”

"Well, dad liared, you said you were going to buy it for me, Yi'er still remembers." The little boy was gone.

Rong Yuanhang, who was standing on the side, listened, and his heart moved, there were still a lot of snacks left in his trolley suitcase. He turned his head and ordered, "Cailong, bring something to eat." ”

"Slow, let's go into the house and talk about it, it's really rude," Zhou Kaishan stood up with his little son in his arms, and said to the child and girl: "Huan'er, go and inform your eldest mother and second mother, saying that there are guests coming!" ”

"Hey," the little girl named Huan'er flew home.

"Let's go in, Master Rong, please!"
