Chapter 727, Night in Tianjin
Tianjin Wanghai Tower.
In a location by the window, Geert and Pablo were feasting at the moment, and they couldn't help but shout as they ate.
"It's delicious~It's delicious, it's delicious~"
"This Daming's dish is so delicious~"
Geert and Pablo were like gluttonous, they had never eaten any delicious dishes in their lives, and the dishes on beautiful plates were so delicious, but the amount was too small, and the two of them ate a dish in a few moments.
"Haha, eat slowly, eat slowly, here we are Ming, you can't finish this food."
Wang Dashan is very elegant, drinking a little wine while overlooking the night view below.
The night view of Tianjin has become more beautiful, there are more places to brighten up at night, the roads continue to extend, and the shops on both sides of the road are brightly lit, like a giant dragon extending to the end of the field of vision.
"Insulting Sven, insulting Sven~"
"This European used to look like this, and this food appearance is too ugly."
"Yes, yes, barbarians are barbarians after all, and you can see it when you eat."
"I heard that there are some descendants of Yin Shang who have arrived in our Daming today, and I don't know what they look like~"
"You don't know, I happened to be here in Tianjin Port today, and I saw those descendants of Yin Shang, who look similar to us, there is no difference, and they are much better looking than these Europeans."
"Yes~"
"I heard that it was the envoys of the two kingdoms of the descendants of Yin Shang, who were arranged by the people from the government to live in the post station, and the Son of Heaven was ready to find time to meet them alone."
"I heard that they are here to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors~"
"Really?"
"Are we the Ming people and these natives of the Golden Continent really a family?"
"I heard that it is, otherwise how can it look so similar, and it is still called a descendant of Yin Shang."
“……”
In the Wanghai Tower, the others looked at Geert and Pablo and they were also talking about it, and those who could come to the Wanghai Tower to eat were all people with status and status, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw the two of them.
"Whew~"
"It's so full, it's delicious~"
After a long time, Geert touched his round belly with satisfaction, and the food of the Ming people was so good that he swore that he had never eaten any delicious food in his life.
"Mr. Geert, try our beautiful bar."
Wang Dashan smiled and poured him wine.
Geert picked up the wine glass, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the plate he had just eaten, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is worthy of being a rich oriental country, and even the expensive porcelain used for eating and drinking tea can be sold at a very high price if these things can be brought back to Europe.
But here it is only used for food and drink, which is very common, very ordinary.
Take a sip gently, a smell of wine fills the heart, slightly sweet, and the aftertaste is endless.
"Good wine~"
"It's not bad compared to our wine~"
Geert couldn't help but admire.
"Drink more if you like~"
Wang Dashan smiled and continued to pour him full.
Here, Pablo also touched his stomach with satisfaction, he was too full to eat, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
"You Daming are really too rich~"
After eating and drinking, Geert and Pablo were in the mood to take a closer look at the sea tower, and the decoration inside the Neptune Tower was naturally needless to say, very luxurious.
Adorned with a variety of glass ornaments, the oil lamps are lit, which looks resplendent and luxurious like a palace.
This made Geert also can't help but sigh, Daming is really as rich as depicted in Marco Polo's travels, this is just a restaurant for eating, and it is already so luxurious.
Fine porcelain, as well as the luxurious clothes worn by people, and these dazzling and dazzling various decorations, so everything tells them that the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Dashan smiled and shook his head slightly, remembering the scene when he was about to starve to death several years ago, time flies, no one thought that Daming would develop to this point.
The prosperity of Tianjin is obvious to all, but there are still many poor places in Daming, and Tianjin is the richest place in the whole Daming.
"It's so beautiful~"
"Oh God~"
"It was definitely the best night I've ever seen."
Soon, Geert and Pablo saw the night view of Tianjin outside the window and were immediately amazed.
Overlooking Tianjin, Tianjin is lit up everywhere at night, residential buildings are lit up here, streets are lit here, shops are brightly lit, and roads are the same here.
Tianjin with unified and centralized planning, everything is in order, the planning is neat, dotted, and a large number of people are concentrated.
"Haha, of course the night in Tianjin is very beautiful."
Wang Dashan nodded very proudly when he heard the admiration of the two of them.
As Tianjin people, they are extremely proud of this.
Nowadays, Tianjin people walk with the wind, and when they see outsiders, they can't help but raise their heads slightly.
"Oh God~"
"Tianjin is bigger and more beautiful than rumored~"
"Even the capital of the Holy Roman Empire is less than one-tenth of it, it's too beautiful~"
Pablo couldn't help but sigh.
He has been to many places, almost all major cities in Europe, but he has never seen such a prosperous and beautiful city as Tianjin.
During the day, you can only feel its prosperity and hustle, but at night, looking down on the past from a high place, this moment finally understands why the Ming people are always so proud and confident when they talk about Tianjin City.
After seeing the night of Tianjin, you will be deeply conquered by it, and other cities are as ridiculous as the light of rice grains and the bright moon.
"If I have the chance, I will also go to your Europe and see your European cities."
Wang Dashan smiled and said.
"Mr. Wang, I have to say that your Tianjin is really beautiful and big, and our European cities are too small and insignificant compared to it."
Although Geert is reluctant to admit such a fact, this is the reality, and there is really no comparison between European cities and Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha, we Tianjin has only developed over the years, and it was very small before."
Wang Dashan smiled and replied, then waved his hand to the shopkeeper and said, "Checkout~"
"A total of twelve taels of silver~"
The shopkeeper walked over, calculated carefully, and said.
"Twelve taels of silver?"
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Wang Dashan didn't finish speaking, but Geert and Pablo were stunned again, these three people had a meal, and they actually ate twelve taels of silver, which is too expensive.
"To you~"
Wang Dashan smiled and counted out twelve silver tickets of one tael from the bag, Tianjin's Wanghai Tower, which is notoriously expensive, is also one of the best restaurants in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the consumption is extremely expensive.
Even he, a high-income captain, only occasionally comes here once or twice to have the luxury.
"Okay, three guest officers, you go slowly~"
The shopkeeper accepted the cash ticket and said with a smile.
Out of Wanghailou, Wang Dashan took Geert and Pablo to walk on the street very leisurely, which was regarded as a walk, to eliminate food, and also to visit the night market in Tianjin.
On both sides of the cement road, the buildings are brightly lit, and the shops below are also very busy, under the illumination of the oil lamps and the reflection of the glass lamps, the shops are very bright, and people are strolling around the shops.
"God, if those women in Europe come to Daming, they will surely use up the last silver coin in their wallets."
While walking, looking at the shops, Geert couldn't help but sigh.
There are many shops selling cloth here, and all kinds of cloth with beautiful patterns and colors are very beautiful in the light.
In addition to these shops that sell fabrics, there are also shops that specialize in selling finished clothes, and in one shop, beautiful ready-to-wear garments are placed in glass frames, and a full-length mirror is very beautiful.
He had no doubt that if a European lady came to Daming, she would definitely spend all his money.
"Such a huge mirror~"
"And these beautiful glassworks~"
"These porcelain~silk, satin~"
"The perfume used by these Ming people~"
"This mirror is transported to Europe like this, it is enough to make people rich overnight~"
Pablo's eyes flashed, and when he came to Tianjin, he saw too many things, too many things, and many things were very common and common in the Ming Dynasty, but when he went to Europe, they were all priceless things.
With many exclamations, they returned to their inn.
The inn also prepared hot water and soap for them, Geert took a beautiful bath, the whole person felt extremely comfortable, and then lay down on the comfortable bed, feeling the comfort of the Daming mattress, silky satin and silk.
Sleepy, he went to his desk, took out his thick notebook, and began to write.
Today we finally arrived in Tianjin, the Ming Dynasty, where the prosperity and wealth far exceeded my imagination.
Before I came, I heard a lot of rumors about Tianjin, read Marco Polo's travels, and tried my best to imagine the wealth and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
I have always felt that the Ming people are boasting, and the content of Marco Polo's travels is also exaggerated, and there is a lot of exaggeration in it.
It wasn't until I came to Tianjin and saw the prosperity and wealth of Tianjin with my own eyes that I knew that the Ming people were very modest, and that Tianjin was far more prosperous and rich than I imagined......
