When resting at night, this kind of cold hardwood bed board makes it difficult for Rong Yuanhang to toss and turn. The snoring in the room fluctuated with each other, especially one of the fat executioners, the nasal sound was even louder than thunder, and Rong Yuanhang was eager to get up and reward him a few times.
finally fell asleep in a daze, but suddenly felt that someone was moving his feet, and when he woke up, Rong Yuanhang was taken by surprise and screamed in fright: "Ah, I grass!" ”
More than a dozen people in a room were all awakened!
"Master, what's the matter?" Cailong lay beside him, and he stood up very quickly and took a defensive stance, staring wide-eyed and looking around alertly. The dart master and the executioners all looked at each other, their eyes showed vigilance, and some even took out self-defense weapons in their hands. They are engaged in the dart industry, they all lick the knife edge to live, as soon as the wind blows, they will be extremely sensitive, even when they sleep at night, the knife does not leave their hands, or press under the pillow.
Rong Yuanhang looked embarrassed, he knew that he had overreacted, pointed to a corner, and said, "It's okay, this guy climbed on me just now, I thought it was something." ”
Everyone saw that a mouse larger than a cat on the floor was jumping up and down restlessly, trying to leave this terrible environment.
"I'm grass, born by a thief girl, it turned out to be a mouse, as for screaming so loudly?" A dazed executioner cursed in his mouth.
"It's like I've been raped by a chicken......"
"Liu Zhongjia, keep your mouth clean, that's the son of Rong of the family, see clearly!" The dart master Bao Dazun stopped the man named Liu Zhongjia.
"Uh...... Sorry, I'm dazed, hehe. Liu Zhongjia smiled at Rong Yuanhang. He also ate other people's snacks before going to bed, even if he ate and drank the most, he had three bottles of beer for himself. At this time, because of his cheap mouth, he was embarrassed.
Zhou Chuanxin waved his hand, and a white light shot over.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......" The big mouse suddenly screamed, and saw a scimitar nailed to its body without bias, and the handle of the knife was still trembling.
"It's okay, Brother Rong, you can sleep in peace." Zhou Chuanxin pulled out the knife, twisted the rat's tail and threw it out of the door.
……
The next morning, the dart masters get up and go to the bathroom to clean up their personal hygiene, which is usually very idle at this time, and one of their most activities is gambling, using a magnetic bowl and three dice to become a gambling device. Everyone takes turns to make the bank, and they place bets in groups.
They were betting on silver and copper plates, but Rong Yuanhang didn't have that thing, just watched with boredom. I heard Zhou Chuanxin say that in two more days, you can reach your hometown Xianyang City.
At this time, an obese middle-aged uncle came in with a basket and shouted, "It's time to eat!" ”
The gamblers dispersed.
"Let's go, let's get some food." Someone said.
This fat uncle is the dart guy in the dart game, and is responsible for the food in the dart team. I saw that the basket in his hand was full of a pile of burnt yellow baked cakes, three pieces per person, and none of the people in the cabin were left behind, even Rong Yuanhang and Cailong got a share.
"Is this the thing again?" An executioner disgusted.
The other said, "Eat yours, it's good to have it, but if you don't eat it, let it be better for me." ”
"Don't you think about it."
……
The bread was baked with rice flour, and it was dry and hard. Rong Yuanhang tasted it and couldn't eat it anymore. He wanted to drink saliva, so he asked the fat man, "Uncle, is there boiling water?" ”
"Yes, yes," replied the fellow, smiling, and pointing to a barrel, "where it is." ”
Rong Yuanhang took a look, it turned out that the wooden barrel was filled with cold water, and a water scoop was placed in it, and whoever drank the water was used to hold it and drink it directly. When I asked, I found out that this was not boiling water, but fresh water, due to the lack of firewood on the ship, it was generally grilled with charcoal, and the water was not boiled at all, and everyone used the same water scoop to drink water, which was very unhygienic.
Rong Yuanhang was very helpless, he glanced at Cailong, and ordered: "Cailong, you go to the rubber boat behind to help me get a few bottles of mineral water." ”
"Yes, boss." Long Cai turned around and left.
"Also," Rong Yuanhang stopped him and said, "Cailong, this ...... Why don't you go to the sea and see if there's anything you can eat, it's best to get some lobster or tuna or something. Let's have a chilled lobster meat to eat, and by the way, grab some toppings. ”
"Okay, boss."
After Cailong left, Zhou Chuanxin leaned over and asked, "Brother Rong, why don't you eat?" ”
"I can't eat it, I'll let Cailong go to the sea to see if there are any fish to catch, let's get a sashimi to eat."
Zhou Chuanxin's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Brother Rong, this is the deep sea, the ship is still sailing, how can he catch fish?" ”
"It's okay, he's watery. You don't have to worry, hehe, send a message, don't eat too much, there will be delicious food in the future. Rong Yuanhang said.
"Young Master Rong, what's delicious to eat?" Dart master Huang Guoyi's ears are very sensitive, yesterday's snacks of Rong Yuanhang made him unforgettable, this time when he heard that he had delicious food, he actually walked over with a shy smile.
"Hehe, I don't know yet, I've already asked Cailong to go to the sea to catch it. I can't say what I can catch, or everyone waits? Anyway, as soon as he catches the fish, it must be enough points. ”
An executioner came over and said: "It turned out to be catching fish, there is not much firewood on the boat, and it is very troublesome to cook, unless we can ask Mr. Wu to open the favor and give us some firewood." ”
As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, they all gathered together. Some are worried that Cailong, no matter how familiar with the water, but this ship is in the middle of sailing, and they are afraid that they will throw him far away at once, leaving him alone in the sea.
It's just that Rong Yuanhang is very confident in his war pet, and believes that with the speed of Cailong, it will be very easy to catch up.
……
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, an executioner rushed in and said, "Come back, come back, come out and see!" ”
When they heard this, they walked out one after another. I saw that on the deck, Cailong was wet and dripping with water, and on the ground next to him, there were two big fish jumping around!
Both fish are the same species - salmon, they have a thick back, fine scales, both are as long as two meters to hang zero, it is estimated that the weight of the two fish together is more than 500 catties!
"Master, the water in this sea area is too deep, I didn't find lobsters, only these two salmon were caught, do you want me to take a look again?" Cailong ignored everyone's surprise at all, and said to Rong Yuanhang very seriously.
Rong Yuanhang laughed, waved his hand and said, "No need, this salmon is delicious, you go and bring my seasoning and mineral water." ”
Live salmon, of course, tastes the most beautiful, such a big fish, the whole boat of more than 90 people can eat enough. The other two boats that followed behind were not so lucky, and it was impossible for each boat to send meat.
Next, the fat uncle slaughters and slices the fish.
Rong Yuanhang and others in a dormitory cut a large piece and took it to the interior and made it themselves. Leave its salmon in addition to those sailors miscellaneous to get themselves. Although the knives that each man carries with him are polished and shiny and seem to be very clean, Rong Yuanhang still uses the multi-functional knife he brought, he is afraid that other people's knives will be unhygienic.
Slices of pink and tender salmon meat are cut into books with a little translucent, and then dipped in wasabi and soy sauce, which is very sweet and delicious. The food wiped sweat on everyone's foreheads, but they couldn't bear it.
Liu Zhongjia, the executioner, is the one who can grab the most food, the mustard brought by Rong Yuanhang, he deliberately dipped a lot of it without knowing the depth, and swallowed it with the meat slices, but the spicy taste suddenly came out of his nose, choking him so much that tears and snot dripped down.
"I see you're still greedy, now you're spicy, you deserve it!" Zhou Chuanxin laughed and scolded. When everyone saw Liu Zhongjia's embarrassment, they immediately laughed.
On the ship, Rong Yuanhang got along with everyone very happily, and after surviving for two days, the ocean-going ship finally entered the kingdom of mankind. When foreign ships enter the sea, there is a Cangba River that stretches for 12,000 kilometers. Thousands of sails on the river are competing for the shadows, hundreds of boats are competing for the stream, and it is a prosperous scene. The Cangba River spans several provinces, runs through the north and south regions of the Dayin Kingdom, and is also the main waterway transportation hub of the imperial court.
……
Xianyang Fucheng, as the capital of Shimen Province of Dayin Kingdom, has a very prosperous and developed business. As early as the previous dynasties, it has gathered the east and west cities and sub-cities of the state, and the three cities of Qingjiang County and Haishen County have been combined into one city. Surrounded by Haochi outside, the inner city yamen has the administrative department, the judicial department, the Shimen Division, the lifting division, the Confucian Temple, the Qingjiang County Office, the Haishen County Office, etc., which are integrated in the administrative heart.
Not to mention the hustle and bustle in the city, even the south gate outside the city is also a prosperous business district, which faces the Cangba River. Outside the Haojiang River under the city is also the cargo distribution center of the wharf. During the previous dynasty of Dayin, some people compared it with the imperial city of Luohe, saying: "The daily cost is tens of thousands of gold, the food is prosperous, and the number of songs and dances is several times higher than that of Luohe." It can be seen that it is a proof of prosperity. The ditches in the city are like water streets, and the city is like the main road, which is connected to the lake in the city. Convenient transportation. The prosperity of commerce is indispensable to the credit of this waterway.
The ocean-going ship berthed at the Cangba River Wharf at the south gate of the city. The ship was close to the shore, but it was suddenly filled with ships of all sizes, dense and mast-sted. You can't see the edge when you're in it. With so many boats, the wharf was not able to absorb enough, and the merchants and porters could only wait in line to land.
After a while, several officials dressed up boarded the ship. Rong Yuanhang can enter the city and enjoy the antique cityscape, but he doesn't want to have to wait in a long queue and have to be inspected by officials? I don't have any formalities with Cailong, and I don't have a household registration in this country.
Zhou Chuanxin said next to him: "Brother Rong, don't worry, they are people from the City Ship Lifting Division, and they only come up to inspect the goods on the ship, and then collect taxes according to the goods." It's okay, we'll be able to disembark soon.
