Chapter 750: Nightfall
Of course, he would prefer to see those behind-the-scenes transactions, after all, water transactions are really more convenient than land transactions.
A boatman who was resting on the water's edge, saw two oriental faces, and there was a noble woman among them, and immediately knew that this was a tourist to patronize the business, originally at this time, there was generally no business, today was thrown out by his daughter-in-law, I didn't expect to be very lucky, met two rich tourists.
"Hey, do you need a boat?" The boatman actually spoke Chinese, although he was not very sharp, but he was able to express his meaning, and said with a smile: "I am the cheapest here, you, you two guarantee safety and comfort." ”
In fact, this shipman is an ordinary rude man, where can he know what Chinese, but practice makes perfect, before seeing his competitors because they know two sentences of Chinese, as a result, a month down, earn more money than themselves, and then practice at home every day, did not think it was really good, to zuihou the more he spoke, the smoother, in this area of the boat, is considered a top level of Chinese master.
Luo Ping looked at the ship, it was no more than five meters long and two meters wide, and the tent on the top of the boat was also an old product, and it didn't look very good.
The boatman couldn't help but feel a little weak when he saw the two nobles constantly looking at his guys, like him, who usually belonged to the type of Lala's private work, and the beautiful sightseeing boats in the distance were of a large group, and he was a little worried that these two disliked his ugly boats, so he quickly stretched out his finger and said that his side was half cheaper than that side.
In fact, he didn't say it, Luo Ping would also choose his boat, and he was willing to do it precisely because this boat was relatively simple and a little primitive not to mention, this kind of boat was driven in the Chao Phraya River, which was very inconspicuous, and basically no one would pay special attention to it. On the contrary, the few bright and beautiful ships in the distance were really a bit of an eyesore, and they were not conducive to Luo Ping's work.
The boatman was very happy when he saw the two getting on the boat, paddling the oars while communicating with the two in broken Chinese, telling the two where the water market in the vicinity is the most lively, where the water market is the most beautiful, or where to sell special products, where to have fun parties, etc., which is very good.
Qiu Yuji is not a person who has never seen the world, and for those so-called high-end atmospheric and high-grade places, he is really not very interested, and when he heard about the most lively and closest to the life of the floating market, he immediately asked the boatman to sail in that direction.
Driving in the Chao Phraya River, looking at the morning light slowly rising in the river sky, blowing the fresh river breeze, as if they are not in a big city, but living in a tropical rainforest, they have to make the two sigh that the so-called Venice is indeed worthy of its name.
The boatman's oarsing jishu is very good, it takes less than ten minutes to turn around several small alleys, and come to an unusually wide water surface, but this originally empty water surface is now densely parked with hundreds of small fishing villages.
The water market, known as the Tonensa Water Market, was built by the local government in the mid-19th century, and has become the most frequented and authentic water market for Bangkok citizens as the Stadium Water Market (once the largest water market in Bangkok) has gradually evolved into a tourist shopping center in recent years.
After coming out of the fork, Luo Ping and Qiu Yuji both felt a fragrant smell. They had already prepared to smell the mixture of fishy smell and rotten vegetables, but before they drove in, they smelled an indescribable fragrance, which was simply refreshing and stretched pores.
"This is the smell of durian?" After a long time, Qiu Yuji seemed to smell the smell of this, and asked with some suspicion.
"Ah, girl, it's so powerful, you can smell it from so far away." For the boatman who has been numbed by this fragrance, seeing that the autumn rain has not yet approached, he can smell what the fruit smells like, and praised the two, telling the two that durian is the most delicious season now (in fact, for Thai people who like to eat durian, when to eat durian is the most suitable season in their mouths, they have always called durian the king of fruits, and also called Thailand the kingdom of fruits. )
In fact, people who like durian feel refreshing and refreshing, but for those who don't like it, the stench is unbearable, and it is a food that vulgar people like, which can be described as distinct, and for Luo Ping and Qiu Yuji, there is no preference for this fruit.
"Please drive me in, we need to buy something to bring back." Luo Ping saw that the boatman was only willing to park the boat outside the market, so he took out a little tip and handed it over.
In fact, this is Luo Ping's misunderstanding, because the reason why the boatman stayed on the periphery was because he was afraid that these two distinguished guests would not like the atmosphere of the market, and most tourists in the past only watched from a distance and did not appreciate it closely, otherwise they would go directly to another water market, but since Luo Ping gave a tip, the boatman was not polite, and hurriedly paddled the two in.
I saw those on the boat with big hats (actually straw hats, relatively large straw hats, similar to the hats of Jiangcheng. Luo Ping felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, he had never been to Thailand before, he originally thought that only Vietnamese women liked to wear this and those sailors in Jackie Chan's movies wore this, but he didn't expect that in the Thai water market, this kind of hat can be seen everywhere.
"Hee-hee, am I pretty?"
Qiu Yuji was also playful at this time, bought two straw hats from a vendor, put one on himself, and then asked Luo Ping to evaluate.
Luo Ping was about to speak, but the boatman's eyes were straight, and he stayed there in a daze, and Zuihou was careless and fell into the river with a thud, but fortunately, in the current weather, it was not in the way to soak in the water for a while, and he quickly got up.
"The ancients said that it is good for you to sink the fish and fall into the geese, but you just wear a hat and make the man so beautiful that he falls into the water." After Luo Ping pulled the boatman up, he said to Qiu Yuji with a smile.
"If the girl is wearing a tube skirt, she is simply a princess." When the boatman got out of the water, he was still excited, as if he had seen the rumored goddess.
Qiu Yuji stuck out her tongue, which girl doesn't like to be praised by others, not to mention that the person standing next to her is still the person she loves the most, so the boatman who fell into the water got some tips and envied others.
In the next time, the autumn rain with a high level of interest, pulling Luo Ping in the water market constantly shuttled, the reason why Thailand is called the country of fruits, is not false at all, the major vendors, the most is a variety of fresh fruits, among which durian is the most, basically the two of them walked to a hawker's door, the hawker took the bamboo stick and began to beat the durian, signaling to choose the most haode durian for the two (with bamboo sticks to beat durian, you can judge the origin of this durian, maturity, moisture, etc., Experienced hawkers usually do this trick. )
Thailand's water market is generally from six o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, but the most lively time belongs to seven or eight o'clock in the morning, that is, the period when Luo Ping and Qiu Yuji came over.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, after Luo Ping and Qiu Yuji finished breakfast, they looked at the time, guessed that Long Xin and Anna had gotten up, and then went around by the boatman, and then went back to the hotel directly, the boatman was very happy, this trip down, basically worth the income of the past two or three days, when Zuihou sent the two of them ashore, a thousand thanks, especially for Qiu Yuji, the etiquette was really like seeing the queen, which made Qiu Yuji squeak and laugh non-stop.
When the two went back, Anna and Xiaolongxin were eating a buffet in the restaurant on the first floor, if it was a domestic hotel, there would be no buffet to eat at this time, and I have to say that the pace of life in other countries is slower than in China.
Since Thailand is subtropical, the temperature at noon is very high, even if Qiu Yuji wants to go out for a walk, he is frightened by the high temperature, and Zuihou has to choose to watch Thai dramas with the three of them in the hotel. (Originally, a few people were going to play mahjong, but later Anna reminded everyone that Luo Ping knew that gambling in Thailand is quite strictly managed, and generally high-end hotels do not allow mahjong or playing cards.) )
Taking advantage of Qiu Yuji and Dragon Heart being attracted by Thai dramas, Anna and Luo Ping were secretly planning tonight's activities in another room, as the so-called strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake, although Anna has been to Southeast Asia before, but it is all under the banner of the Henry family, and the real Shili does not, so this time she traded with these local snakes, and she did not dare to guarantee that the other party would not cheat, and this is exactly what Luo Ping was concerned about, so he would secretly leave some signs and small things on the water market in the morning.
However, these small actions are far from enough, they have to buy weapons this time, the other party will never come empty-handed, and it is very likely that they will directly swallow money and kill people when the time comes, this kind of thing is not uncommon, especially in the water market, even the international media have reported this kind of thing. Therefore, weapons and equipment are also a necessary means of self-defense for them.
After waking up at noon, it was already about six o'clock in the afternoon, and after everyone had dinner, Anna pretended to be coquettish and wanted to be alone with Luo Ping for a while, which made Qiu Yuji depressed for a while. However, thinking that he didn't pull Luo Ping out alone in the morning, it was difficult to say anything.
When night falls, the two who were both dressed casually before, have completely changed their outfits, they are all night clothes, once they enter the night, they are completely integrated with the surrounding environment, this kind of night walker is not an ordinary black clothes, but a kind of high-tech, which contains stealth materials, it is difficult to get their hands on it, and generally only senior military personnel have it, but when the Henry family still existed before, because of the relationship with the military, there were a lot of these things, and last time Anna simply brought it all over, Just in case.
