Volume 1 When the Wind Rises Chapter 148
Tang Xiuyuan and Liu Ximing sat in front of the tent and chatted for a while, Tang Xiong strode over and interrupted the two: "Master, everything has been packed up and you can go." ”
"Okay, let's go."
Tang Xiuyuan slowly stood up and walked outside the barracks, Hou Liangzhu had already resigned from his side, and he was ready to get on the ship directly at this time, Liu Ximing naturally followed them to the dock.
"Virtuous nephew, Yuquan will ask you, and I will have the opportunity to invite you to Wuhan to stay for a few days in the future." When Tang Xiuyuan came to the boat, he firmly grasped Liu Ximing's hands and asked again.
"Uncle Shi rest assured, there is a little nephew, no one can touch a single hair of Brother Yuquan."
With an order from the bow, the Tang family's fleet began to set sail slowly, slowly sailing towards the center of the river in the snow-white sails.
Liu Ximing stood at the dock and watched the back of the fleet in the distance, but he didn't notice that on the other side of the dock, there was another ship that was also preparing to sail, and a graceful figure wearing a gauze hat at the bow of the ship was also silently watching him.
"Miss, why don't we solve this kid first?" A woman next to the graceful figure said loudly, she was wearing a goose yellow gauze skirt, her appearance was very pretty, revealing a youthful atmosphere, but the words she said were enough to make ordinary people frightened.
The woman wearing the gauze hat shook her head slightly: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, now the first thing is to find out the details of that person, see if that thing is there with him, and let's go back and avenge the revenge of the senior brother." ”
"Hmph, that's a bargain."
~~~
Liu Ximing looked at the fleet for a while, and then blew a gust of river breeze by the river, and when his mind calmed down, he turned his head and instructed Su Yan and the others: "Zhiding will take a few people, and then go and talk to the previous group of businessmen, and dispose of the goods as soon as possible." Li Biao and the others followed me to find the Tessie missionaries. Tomorrow at the latest, we're ready to go home. ”
"Haha, I can finally go back, this Chongqing city has to climb every day, and I'm tired to death." Li Biao shouted with joy.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, Liu Ximing thought to himself, this is because there is no Chongqing hot pot yet, if there is, you kid may not want to leave.
Thinking of hot pot, his saliva is about to flow out, as a Sichuan person, not eating chili peppers for a long time is simply torture, but fortunately, chili peppers and other things should have spread to the southeast coast in this year, just ask Julius and others to help him get some.
Julius and they lived in an inn in Dongshuimen not far from Chaotianmen, after all, there were few people in Sichuan, Li Biao stepped forward and asked casually, and the innkeeper immediately remembered the location where these people lived.
Even this little second took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the way in front of Liu Ximing and others, Liu Ximing thought that this little second picture was a reward, but he didn't expect him to lead the way while turning his head and asking mysteriously:
"A few masters are friends of these people, and I heard that people like to eat people's hearts raw, I don't know if it's true?"
"Hahaha", Liu Ximing almost burst out laughing, seeing Xiao Er's innocent expression, he said mischievously: "It's not just eating people's hearts raw, this person eats everything when he is hungry......"
"Squeak"
Liu Ximing was scaring Xiao Er with his teeth and claws, and the door in front of him suddenly opened, and Julius pushed the door out in a robe.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while, the shopkeeper scratched his head, smiled at Liu Ximing embarrassedly, and turned his head and slipped away pretending to look around.
Liu Ximing also blushed a little, but the arranger behind him was heard, is this considered racial discrimination.
He was about to explain two sentences, but who knew that Julius laughed first: "It's not in the way, China is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it's normal to not understand the customs of Westerners such as us, but we don't eat people......"
"And what do you eat?" Li Biao interjected with some curiosity and asked.
"In my hometown of Venice, people like to eat cuttlefish noodles and pea soup, but unfortunately I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time."
Hehe, you don't eat human flesh, but it doesn't mean that you don't eat people, Liu Ximing sneered in his heart.
However, when he heard that Julius was a fool, Liu Ximing was not so resistant all of a sudden, after all, he was the best pig teammate, and he felt inexplicable joy just by hearing the name.
Seeing that Julius fell into nostalgia for his hometown cuisine, Liu Ximing simply invited: "Since Mr. Ai misses the flavor of his hometown, let's find a place to eat first, although Chongqing is not as close to the sea as Venice, but there is the Yangtze River passing by, and the aquatic products are also very delicious." ”
"Liu Gongzi actually knows Venice?" Julius was a little surprised.
"I know a little bit about it, I often wander in my dreams, Venice is known as the city of water, and the scenery of St. Mark's Square is even more beautiful." Liu Ximing is also a person who has played the Age of Discovery, and the Venice art map 8 is about to vomit, and he has a deep impression of the condensed Venice map.
Julius was now convinced that the young man knew Venice, and as for the fugue in which he spoke......
"God willing, this is a great miracle", said Julius, drawing a cross on his chest with his right hand, and looking at the mysterious young man in front of him with a feverish face.
"Ahem, eat first", Liu Ximing was numb by this fanatic, and hurriedly led everyone to find a restaurant.
But this did not resist Julius's enthusiasm, he pestered Liu Ximing along the way and kept talking about European affairs, where did Liu Ximing know so much, so he had to throw out some familiar characters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo from time to time to pretend to be forced, which caused Julius to be even more amazed.
"Liu, I didn't expect you to know so much about Europa, this must be God's revelation to you, you are destined to serve God."
Just sat down in the restaurant, Julius didn't care about Xiao Er's surprised eyes, and brainwashed Liu Ximing with a bright eye.
Liu Ximing had some headaches, "Mr. Ai, I am a disciple of Confucius, the master has clouds, worship ghosts and gods and stay away, although I agree with the teachings of your religion, but it is not okay for me to believe in religion." ”
Julius smiled undeterred, he had become accustomed to rejection after so many years in China.
He said in a different way: "Liu, think about it carefully, how could a mortal encounter such an adventure as yours, and why did you dream of Europa, where the light of the Lord shines, can you imagine anyone so great except the all-knowing and all-powerful God?" ”
That's because you don't know that there is something called TV, Liu Ximing complained in his heart.
"Hahaha, let's talk about this later, if it is really as Mr. Ai said, all this is God's arrangement, then I will throw myself into God's arms sooner or later, right, and it will not be worse than this moment and a half. Recently, what are Mr. Ai's plans in Chongqing, he will return to Shunqing tomorrow, if there is any help, you can try. ”
Liu Ximing's words worked, and Julius thought so, since God arranged it like this, there must be a deep meaning in it, and now it is better to have a good relationship with Liu first.
"Liu, you are really a good friend of ours, these days I want to visit the local officials first, see if we can get their consent, let us build a church here, accommodate believers, if you have a way to help us make an appointment, it would be great."
Julius looked at Liu Ximing hopefully.
Liu Ximing twitched his cheeks, he was originally a fox and a fake tiger, where to find some officials for him to know, so he had to haha: "Mr. Ai doesn't know, my family's roots and connections are all in Shunqing Mansion, and I don't have much contact with Chongqing officialdom, and there are some other reasons, the prefect here and my family are still a little discordant, but I can't help you." ”
"That's a pity, but it doesn't matter, before coming here, Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, Zhang Fujun, wrote a letter for me, and then see if it can be useful."
Damn, I know.
Liu Ximing had waves in his heart, fortunately, he grabbed a chance in Hou Liangzhu's big tent yesterday, and he could be regarded as a favor.
Liu Ximing and others selected this Wangjiang building location is very good, sitting on the third floor just overlooking the Yangtze River, ordered the dish for a while, several special dishes have been on the table, pepper fish, steamed elbow and other dishes not only look good, taste also delicious, eat a few people have endless aftertaste.
"Sichuan cuisine has a strong flavor, which is very different from Fujian and Zhejiang, and it does have a unique flavor when eaten."
I don't know where Julius learned the Chinese etiquette, and when he eats, he is even more elegant than Liu Ximing, and he can see that Comrade Liu is a little ashamed of himself, and the road to pretending to be forced is obstructive and long.
