Chapter 221: Why Don't You Make It Canned?
"Shut up all of them!" General Zhao was a rough man, and when he saw that the scene was so chaotic, he immediately jumped on the stone pier at the gate of the city and shouted violently, and at the same time, he pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist with a 'cang' sound, and waved it twice. The people are afraid of the officials and the wicked, and the General Zhao in front of him occupies both, so when he came down with his voice, the scene immediately quieted down, and everyone's eyes looked at General Zhao on the stone pier.
"I'll stay honestly for Lao Tzu, I'll go see what the situation is, if anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame Lao Tzu for military law!" General Zhao is a meritorious person who has been promoted to the position of Zhongyun General, he does not know a single big character, and his temper is not very good, and his speech is even more vulgar, one sentence Lao Tzu, but although his speech is ugly, he is a loyal person, otherwise such an important place as Mingdemen will not be handed over to him to guard.
When encountering a ruffian like General Zhao, everyone didn't dare to make a mistake, and even the people who had friction and disputes just now stopped arguing and obediently waited for General Zhao to dredge the city gate.
After seeing General Zhao jump off the stone pier, he quickly found the reason why the city gate was blocked, and after understanding the situation, he immediately kicked the captain next to him, and roared angrily: "You fucking pig brain, won't you drive the convoy aside first and then make noise?" ”
Although the captain was kicked, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied, he got up from the ground and stood aside, he was right to stop Zhou Yu's goods from entering the city, but he didn't take into account that the other party's convoy would block the city gate, so it led to the current situation, if it is really investigated, this kick is considered light.
After kicking his own people, the burly General Zhao walked up to Zhou Yu menacingly. Pointing to his nose and saying: "Lao Tzu no matter which palace you are, now listen to my orders, all drive the car to the side of the road, if you block the city gate again, be careful that Lao Tzu burns your goods!" ”
Although Zhou Yu was one of the few stewards of the Qi Palace, he was still young after all, and it was the first time he had encountered a soldier like General Zhao. So he was also frightened, and hurriedly commanded the guys who were in charge of Wu's shopkeeper to drive the car aside. Then General Zhao commanded his soldiers to evacuate the people, and half an hour later. Finally, the Mingde Gate was restored to its access.
It was only then that Zhou Yu had the courage to find General Zhao and saluted, "General Zhao." Now the city gate is also open, but what should we do, these goods are all transported from Dengzhou thousands of miles away, but now they are not allowed to enter the city gate, so we can't let us transport them back, right? ”
General Zhao looked up and down at the family of the Qi Palace, and then looked at the big one behind him that was a little excessive, and his face showed a little embarrassment, although he scolded Zhou Yu just now, but he also admired the King of Qi Li Su. It was precisely because of this that he didn't hold Zhou Yu accountable just now, but now he was also a little curious.
"His Royal Highness King Qi, what the hell is this thing transporting, how can it be so big?" General Zhao asked.
"This ......" Zhou Yu just wanted to answer, but he remembered that the vicious General Zhao had scolded him just now. I couldn't help but be a little angry in my heart, as the saying goes, what kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is, Zhou Yu has learned Li Yu's careful eye very well.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's eyes rolled, revealing a malicious smile and replied, "General Qiqi, I can't say this thing clearly for a while." But if you're interested, you can check it out, there's nothing to do anyway! ”
Although General Zhao was a rough man, he didn't doubt it when he heard Zhou Yu's words, and he really wanted to know what such a huge cargo was, so when he heard that the other party asked him to see, he didn't shirk at the moment, and walked over the convoy to the huge cargo at the rear. When I looked at it from a distance just now, I only felt that this thing was very large, and when I got closer, I found that this thing was really not ordinarily big, almost the size of four or five houses, thinking that Zhou Yu and these people actually transported such a big thing from Dengzhou to Chang'an, which made General Zhao a little admired.
This cargo is in the shape of a long strip, and the front is large and the back is small, the length is about five zhang, and the widest part of the front is more than one zhang, and the whole body is wrapped in thick linen, so you can't see the true face of the goods at all. And when General Zhao came to the head of the goods, Zhou Yu immediately untied the rope on the hemp cloth at the head of the goods, and then gently opened a gap in the hemp cloth, just enough for General Zhao to see the true face of the goods.
"I'm a mother!" As soon as General Zhao saw the things inside, he was frightened, and he retreated four or five steps in a row, his eyes were round, and his face was full of fear, as if he had just seen the most terrible thing in the world.
If it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that he would have screamed and fled in fright, but this General Zhao not only crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, although he was not scared, but after standing still, he pulled out the horizontal knife with a sound of 'Cang~', with a resolute look on his face, it seemed that he wanted to and saw something desperately.
Seeing General Zhao's reaction, Zhou Yu was secretly refreshed in his heart, this was exactly what he wanted to see, of course, he didn't dare to show the slightest smile on his face, but reminded loudly: "General Zhao don't have to be afraid, this thing is dead, it won't hurt people at all!" ”
Originally, with the courage of a battlefield veteran like General Zhao, there is really nothing in this world that can scare him like this, but there are always exceptions to everything, the first thing General Zhao saw just now was a slightly open bloody mouth, and when he looked up, it was a terrifying head, almost as big as his house.
Seeing such a terrifying monster unexpectedly, it was already good to have a heart attack without being scared on the spot, not to mention that General Zhao could still muster up the courage to draw a knife, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. It's a pity that Li Su is not in this city, otherwise he would definitely award General Zhao a medal of courage.
In fact, after General Zhao pulled out the knife, he already felt a little wrong, and then heard Zhou Yu's explanation, and finally regained some composure, and then calmed down, walked over and looked at the monster under the sackcloth, and found that it had been dead for a long time, and finally completely relieved.
However, General Zhao then glared at Zhou Yu next to him fiercely, although he was a rough man, he was not stupid, at this time he naturally knew that this kid was deliberate, but this kind of thing can only be regarded as a joke between the other party and himself, and he will not embarrass the other party because of this kind of thing.
"Boy, count you ruthless!" General Zhao yelled at Zhou Yu viciously, but then asked, "What is this thing, and why does it grow so big?" ”
Zhou Yu also knew what it meant to be up to the point, and there was a limit to joking, so he didn't mind the other party's tone, and introduced with a smile: "General Zhao doesn't know, this thing is a whale in the sea." ”
"Whales? It turns out that this is the legendary whale! General Zhao was also taken aback when he heard this, if it was two years ago, he didn't know what a whale was, but now it's different, and even a few days ago he paid for a few bottles of canned whale meat, when the store introduced that the whale was several feet long, he didn't believe it at that time, but now when he saw the real thing in front of him, he finally believed it.
"It turns out that there are such big fish in this world!" General Zhao muttered to himself, but then frowned again, and asked with some puzzlement, "Since this is a whale, why don't you make it into a can and transport it?" ”
General Zhao's words stopped Zhou Yu at once, in fact, he had wanted to ask this sentence for a long time, but unfortunately except for his master, His Royal Highness King Qi, I am afraid that no one in this world can answer at all. It's just that Zhou Yu didn't know that behind them, in the square at the end of Vermilion Bird Street, there was also a person who asked the same question, and the object of the question was His Royal Highness King Qi that Zhou Yu thought in his heart.
"Hehe, not only did I have a whole whale brought in, but I also had a lot of other sea specialties, such as sharks, giant turtles, giant mussels, etc., almost everything they could find was sent by them." Li Su smiled and said to Yanbei who asked the question.
Li Yun and Li Zhen and Li Zhi have left, just now he agreed to let Li Yun go with him to beg the big island, Li Zhen and Li Zhi naturally did not want to, and as a result, they made trouble with him, and finally Li Yu really couldn't resist them, so he had to kick the ball to the emperor's father, telling them that if their father agreed to them to go, then he had no opinion, Li Zhi and Li Zhen heard it, and immediately pulled Li Yun to beg Li Shimin, and the dialogue between him and Yanbei was continued.
When Yan Bei heard Li Su's answer, he faintly guessed something in his heart, and asked a little eagerly: "Liulang, you transported so many sea properties, and then built a shed in this square, don't you want to put those things here to display, right?" ”
"Hahahaha~, Brother Yan guessed well, I really want to open a marine life exhibition here, so that more people can know the ocean and understand the ocean, so that our next plan can be better promoted!" Li Su said with a laugh.
Last time, Li Su published the article in the newspaper titled "Good Boy, Open Up!" In addition to opening a treasure map on the ocean to the upstarts of various families who support them, there is also the meaning of encouraging the people of the Tang Dynasty to march to the ocean, but reality is reality, and no one will impulsively run to the sea because of an article.
Li Su also knows this, so since then, he began to continue to popularize and publicize marine knowledge in the newspaper, but as the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, no matter how the newspaper boasts, it is not as good as putting a physical object in front of the people of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can really touch the ocean, fortunately, when he left Dengzhou, he had already instructed the steward who stayed behind to collect all kinds of marine products, whether it is animals or plants, as long as they can be found, all of them are preserved as much as possible and sent over together. Now it comes in handy.
After hearing this, Yan Bei thought about the cost of transporting the whale, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Li Su was really willing to spend money, in order to hold an exhibition, it is estimated that he would have to spend at least thirty or forty thousand yuan, and there was almost no income, it was painful to think about it. In addition, he was also shocked by Li Su's foresight, after all, he really didn't expect that when he was still in Dengzhou, Li Su had already prepared for this exhibition, did he really have the ability to predict the future?
