384 Keelung 2
The prosperity of Keelung Port exceeded Mengfei's imagination.
By the time they had completed the formalities at the dock, it was already completely dark, but the distance from the pier to the port, and the air lanterns hanging on the road along the way, made the people walking on the main road not worry about getting lost or not seeing the direction clearly.
Even at night, the wharves were crowded with bare laborers, shouting trumpets or being silent, shuttling between the ships that were parked in the harbor, and countless packed goods were piled up on the wide road.
Originally, Meng Fei and they just thought that they could spend the night, and the "Youjian" inn, as a representative of good quality and low price, has always been the top priority choice for many Shang merchants when they walked in the counties and cities of the Hongchao.
However, looking at the wharf to the port, along the way, the various shops and tea shops that did not close at night, Meng Fei, who was already full of curiosity, discussed with the two brothers Bi Yong, and simply went to see the so-called big world in the city.
Of course, it is not distressing to spend money on their own, the captain and these outsiders spend money, they have to be careful in their calculations, in order to buy people's hearts, the captain and the bookkeepers will naturally not let them spend the night on the ship, but it is not appropriate to follow them to those extravagant places, so Meng Fei They first helped the captain and the bookkeeper them, and after opening a room in the "Youjian" inn, they went to the most brightly lit place in Keelung County.
From the first street, Meng Fei did not close any of the shops they saw, and from time to time there were customers coming out of these shops, and even the Western-Yi people who were originally rare in the mainland, but only heard of in rumors, Meng Fei and they saw no less than three groups in this short distance.
One of the groups even collided with Mo Wu Bi Gefei and them because they were in a hurry, and before Meng Fei and them could exit, the other party took the first step to say a few words, which made Meng Fei and them dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the light is dim at night, and I didn't find you!"
Although the other party's pronunciation was a little weird, but the Chinese language that was similar to the tone of the Beijing's pronunciation, Meng Fei and the others actually didn't have much effort, and they could also distinguish the content of the words.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Meng Fei, who originally thought that he must not be timid in front of outsiders, hurriedly waved his hand and replied with a polite tone.
"Goodbye."
The other party saw that Meng Fei and they were indeed fine, and he had other things, so after saying goodbye to Meng Fei and them, he turned around and left.
"Big brother, these foreigners still speak our language!"
Bi Yong didn't scream in surprise until the other party stepped out of sight and disappeared into the night.
"What's so strange about this, if they don't know our language, how can they deal with us!"
Although Meng Fei was also a little surprised, the behavior of the foreigner he met by chance was no different from that of an ordinary Han person, but compared to the fuss of his companion Bi Yong, Meng Fei was much calmer.
As the name suggests, Chunxi Tower should be a place with ancient characteristics, but at the first glance of Chunxi Tower, Meng Fei and they were still dazzled by the various scenes in the building.
In this era, when glass products were still considered a luxury art venue, in the hall of Chunxi Building, a huge ceiling made of glass was hung, and countless lights shone aggressively under its reflection.
The walls and floors are colored with porcelain enamel, reflecting the light, and it is said that the people of the Hong Dynasty called tiles, and people stepped on them, as if they stepped on the mirror, and they were particularly slippery.
Han people dressed in Hanfu, local natives with tattoos tattooed on their faces, swarthy and short-looking Dongwai people with a pair of clogs, and even Westerners who have long been known in our land as Han people, gathered together in this building that is only three or four stories high.
Countless young women dressed in light veils, dressed seductively but not frivolously, with enthusiastic smiles, shuttled through the halls, walking with a fragrance.
"Yo, two masters, it's really magnificent, it looks like the master who can achieve great things!"
Facing a woman with the charm of a, she walked over step by step with an embroidered fan, and warmly entertained the guests who had just stepped into the gate of Chunxi Building, who was shocked by the sight and lost a little face.
At first glance, the woman who was the bustard's mother in Chunxi Lou did not look down on each other because of Meng Fei's previous ugliness, but quietly resolved the embarrassment of the other party.
"Two masters, please!"
"Girls, come out to greet you!"
"Hey!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
As soon as the bustard's mother greeted, a group of young women who were beautiful and red, and the flowers and branches were showing up, and they helped Meng Fei in front of them, raised the embroidered fan in their hands, and looked at Meng Fei and them with half covered faces.
"Big brother, look!"
Meng Fei and Bi Yong are not the first brothers of Fengyue Place, but in the face of the group of warblers in front of them, Yanyan is also a rare little moved, Bi Yong even quietly grabbed Meng Fei's low-hanging sleeves, and with a slight movement, signaled Meng Fei to look to the left of the woman's pile.
There were a few women there, but they were dressed completely differently from the other girls, and even their appearance was very different from the black-haired and black-eyed girls, who turned out to be the blonde and blue-eyed exotic foreign girls.
Even without Bi Yong's reminder, Meng Fei had already seen this foreign woman with obvious differences, but at the same time, he also found that among this group of women, there were not only foreign foreign girls, but also the woman wearing a strange costume and carrying a wide ribbon around her waist - those women should be the women of Dongwei.
Meng Fei had heard the old people in his family talk about the appearance of the Dongwei women around the Dongwei people in the Central Plains during the Jiajing period, but it was the first time to really see this shoe woman with his own eyes.
"The old man is the steward of this Chunxi Building, and everyone else calls me Mother Feng."
"If you two fancy any girl, and our girl is willing to spend an unforgettable time with you, then you can do it yourself, our girls here are very familiar, they will take two guests to your favorite place to have fun."
"However, the ugly words are said in front, if our girl has no chance with the two guests, and she refuses the two guests, she can't be annoyed by this, our Chunxi Lou has always done things that you and I want, and we must not use force!"
"Otherwise, we have to invite the guests to leave my Chunxi Building!"
While introducing the girls around Meng Fei to Meng Fei, Mother Feng also did not forget to remind Meng Fei of the rules of Chunxi Building.
"The rules of this Chunxi Building are now established by His Majesty the Hong Dynasty himself, and there are soldiers from the Keelung County Public Security Bureau outside the door to maintain order."
"So, two adults should think twice before acting!"
