Chapter 214: Buying Sea Cucumbers
After getting used to the bumps of the sea boat, Zhou Chong was a little uncomfortable when they first came ashore, and it was precisely because of this that Zhou Chong decided to rest in Weihaiwei for two days before leaving, and in the other two days, he could let the Meng commander prepare the vehicle for them and put all the gifts back so as not to be damaged by the bumps on the road.
Except for Sila, Jinxuan and these women are all on the boat for such a long time for the first time, and their physical fitness cannot be compared with Zhou Chong's men, when they first got on the boat, Jinxuan and Bai Mengwan were a little seasick, and it took two days to get used to it, but even after adapting, their rest was still affected when they were on the boat, so they were not in good spirits after getting off the boat, and Jinxuan had no appetite when eating, and occasionally wanted to vomit.
Zhou Zhong can't do anything about this, after all, in his opinion, Jinxuan and they don't go out easily, and this time they leave their hometown by boat, they will definitely have symptoms of seasickness and water and soil adaptation, fortunately, their symptoms are very mild, but they don't need to see a doctor, and they can slowly adapt to it for two days.
On the first day of arriving in Weihaiwei, Zhou Chong almost slept in bed all day, before he was staggering on the boat, he couldn't sleep well at all, this time he finally made up for it, Jinxuan was about the same, the next morning when she had breakfast, Jinxuan still didn't have any appetite, and Zhou Chong fed her by hand, which made Jinxuan barely eat some.
Seeing that Jinxuan was uncomfortable, Zhou Chong wanted to accompany her at home, but what he didn't expect was that although Jinxuan had no appetite during the meal, after sleeping all day, her spirit recovered, and she felt that it was too boring to stay in the house, plus it was the first time to go out. Hence the offer to go outside. Zhou Chong wanted to persuade her to rest at home. But I didn't expect Xie Lingyun to come at this time, and after hearing Jinxuan's proposal, she also applauded repeatedly, and Zhou Zhong had no choice but to agree to take them out of Lu for a walk.
Since they are going out, Wang Jinxuan and Xie Lingyun are naturally inconvenient to wear women's clothes, but fortunately, they have already prepared men's clothes, which is to enter the capital in the future to facilitate going out and playing. I didn't expect to use it in the small place of Weihaiwei first.
When the two women changed into men's clothes, Zhou Zhong also notified Wu Shan to bring a few good hands in brocade clothes, of course, they are also in civilian clothes, otherwise if they go out in flying fish suits, I am afraid that half the street will run out. In addition, there were several servants and maids such as Wangcai and thrushes and abacus, and Zhou Zhong took these people out of the door.
Weihaiwei is just a small place, not to mention the degree of liveliness compared with the capital, even Zhouzhong's hometown Songjiang is also several times more lively than here, but Weihaiwei is more lively than Zhou Chong's new Nanyang Town in Shuangyu Port, after all, the population here is much more than Nanyang Town.
Although Weihai is a small place. But it also has its own characteristics, after Zhou Zhong went out with a group of people. I immediately asked someone, and soon came to the most lively street in Weihaiwei, only to see that there were not only shops on both sides of this street, but also vendors selling various local specialties. It is worth mentioning that this street is also the closest to the wharf, and many maritime merchants who stop at the port come here to buy some local products.
Speaking of Weihai, one side of the mountain, three sides of the sea, plus the sea ban here is also relatively loose, many people are relying on the sea to eat, so there are many people on both sides of the street selling all kinds of sea fish, such as small and small yellow, shrimp, crabs, etc., but Weihai is the most famous is the sea cucumber here, there are fresh and dried sea cucumbers, all kinds of people can pick, many of them from other places will buy some sea cucumbers back, that is, you can eat yourself and take it to give away, and even many businessmen buy in large quantities, It seems to be ready to be sold to other places.
In addition to seafood, the fruit people here in Weihai are good, the most famous of which are figs and apples, it is the season for fresh fruits to go on the market, the whole street is full of fruits, Jinxuan has no appetite when eating, but she likes these fresh fruits very much, so she and Xie Lingyun each bought a small bag of figs to eat while walking, the figs are stored for a very short time, so you can't buy too much, but they have bought a big bag of other fruits for people to send back, ready to go back and distribute them to the bracelets, In this way, they will not lack fruit on the road.
"Xianggong, my father is old, and he is alone in the capital, let's buy more sea cucumbers for him as gifts!" Jinxuan, who was eating figs, saw the vendors selling sea cucumbers on both sides of the street, and whispered in Zhou Chong's ear.
"Well, it's okay, although the sea cucumbers here in Weihai are not as good as those in Liaodong, they are much stronger than those in our south, let's go to a few shops and take a turn, the sea cucumbers there should be better than these bulk vendors!" Zhou Zhong also nodded after hearing this. Although the southern sea cucumber is larger than the northern one, it cannot be compared with the northern sea cucumber in terms of food value and price.
Although Zhou Chong and Wang Jinxuan's statement was low, Xie Lingyun also heard it very clearly, and at the moment, she also smiled and said: "Sister Jinxuan is still thoughtful, my father has not been in good health recently, just taking advantage of this opportunity, I also personally went to pick out some sea cucumbers for him to replenish his body!" ”
Although Xie Lingyun's expression was not unusual, when she spoke, Zhou Zhong obviously felt that she had increased the tone of the word "personally", which made him also shocked, and immediately reacted and said: "Uncle Xie has worked hard to form the Haimeng at this time, and it is all because of me, so of course I will send the sea cucumber this time, where is Lingyun, you personally choose?" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Chong secretly wiped a cold sweat, just now he only cared about giving gifts to Wang Lun, his father-in-law, but he forgot that Xie Lingyun next to him was about to become his wife, and Xie Da was also his father-in-law at that time, so naturally he couldn't favor one over the other, so Xie Lingyun would remind him just now, fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he wouldn't know how much Xie Lingyun would nagging him in the future.
Sure enough, when Xie Lingyun heard that Zhou Chong was going to give his father a copy, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he no longer entangled with Zhou Chong at the moment, but turned his head and discussed with Jinxuan how to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of sea cucumbers.
Seeing Xie Lingyun's performance, Zhou Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took them into the relatively large seafood shops on both sides of the street, the main business in these shops is all kinds of dried seafood, among which sea cucumbers are the majority, and the quality is also excellent.
Originally, if Zhou Chong was alone, I am afraid that he would have paid for the goods a long time ago, but with the two women Jinxuan and Lingyun, no matter how good the sea cucumber is, they can find fault with it, so they have turned a few houses in a row, but they have not been able to find the sea cucumber that satisfies them, Zhou Chong can't say anything about this, after all, this is bought for the two old fathers-in-law, and the two of them must be satisfied first.
Just when Zhou Chong and the others came out of a seafood shop again, and were about to go to the next one, they suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a somewhat sneaky appearance walking in the corner of this store. I wonder if you're interested? ”
Hearing that the other party took the initiative to come up to sell sea cucumbers, Zhou Chong immediately asked Wu Shan and them to step back, and walked forward with a smile and asked, "Oh, I don't know what to call it, is your sea cucumber better than the sea cucumbers in these stores?" ”
Seeing that Zhou Zhong showed interest in his words, the thin middle-aged man immediately said with some excitement: "Childe is polite, the villain's surname is Yu, because I am at home Er, so others call me Yu Er, as for the quality of the sea cucumber in my hand, it's not that I brag, among the people who sell sea cucumbers in Weihaiwei, my sea cucumber quality is the best!" ”
Regarding this Yu Er's boasting, Zhou Zhong just smiled indifferently and said: "Okay, since Brother Yu dares to say this, it makes Zhou very curious, but I don't know where your sea cucumber is, can you let us take a look?" ”
"Of course, Gongzi Zhou, please come with the villain, my sea cucumber is in the courtyard in front, only a few steps away from here!" Yu Er said and pointed to a somewhat dilapidated mansion in front of him, which seemed to be where he stored his sea cucumbers.
Although Zhou Chong had Jinxuan and Lingyun with him, there were a few brocade guards such as Wu Shan, so he didn't have to worry about any danger, so he smiled and asked Yu Ertou to lead the way, and then they followed towards the courtyard.
"Xianggong, I don't feel that this Yu Er is not like a good person, is he lying to us?" At this time, Jinxuan suddenly fell into Zhou Chong's ear and whispered, although she had no experience, she was very smart, coupled with a woman's intuition, which made her very suspicious of this Yu Er.
"Sister Jinxuan is right, this Yu Er does have a problem, you see that he is dressed ordinarily, his shoes are still patched, and the yard in front is so shabby, if his sea cucumber is really that good, then he should have some savings anyway, how can he be so shabby?" At this time, Xie Lingyun also opened her mouth to analyze, she had seen all kinds of people in the mall, and naturally saw the problem of Yu Er at a glance.
"Hehe, Lingyun's analysis is very reasonable, but it can't be generalized, some people are naturally stingy, even if they have money, they are not willing to spend, so we can't just look at the appearance, maybe there is really a sea cucumber we need in this Yu second-hand, and even if the other party is not a good person, at most he wants to get some tricks to cheat money, anyway, there are so many of us, this yard is facing the street, and I am not afraid of the other party's strength, so why don't we follow and see what this Yu Er wants to do?" Zhou Zhong said with a smile.
It's just that what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that when they entered the courtyard, they really saw Yu Er take out some sea cucumbers of quite good quality, but Zhou Chong soon found out that this Yu Er was indeed a liar, and the deception was quite clever, if it was someone else, I was afraid that he would really be deceived.
