Chapter 564: Arriving in the Lion City
"Brother Shi, we can't eat something good, eat this worst food every day, there is nothing else except fish, you see I have lost a lot of weight!" Dunzi picked and picked at the food in front of him, looking like he had no appetite.
They rented a restaurant on the ship, but the food cooked in this restaurant was only available to the crew free of charge, and the shipper's people had to pay if they wanted to eat here. However, the money of the two of them is really about the same, so the meals are all saved, and the food is the cheapest dish, that is, a bowl of rice and a small fish per person, which makes the always mouthy Dunzi naturally a little unbearable.
"Bear with me, when we get to the Lion City to sell the goods, brother invites you to the restaurant for a big meal!" The stone also knew the problem with the pier, so he smiled and comforted. They spent a total of 300 yuan on the purchase of cane sugar this time, and after transporting it to the Lion City, they would probably have a net profit of 50 or 60 yuan, although it didn't seem like much, but after all, it was the first money they earned in business, so they naturally wanted to celebrate.
Dunzi also knew that they really didn't have much money in their hands, so after complaining, he still lowered his head and ate all the rice and fish in front of him. The stone also picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, and it turned out that the fish was not very unpalatable except that it was a little salty. But then he laughed at himself, if it was a few years ago in Jianzhou, there would have been a fish at home to celebrate the New Year, but after staying in Taiwan for a few years, he thought the fish was too unpalatable, and it seemed that he and Dunzi were really not satisfied!
In fact, in this fleet that went to the South Seas, it was not only the stones and piers that felt that the fish was unpalatable, but also on Li Su's Qi Wang, Chou and Li Su were also eating fish with a bitter face. And the ugly pair of ghost elf's big eyes have been staring at Li Su, only when Li Su eats a bite of fish. She'll take a bite.
"Good daughter, children eat fish and meat is good for growth. It will be smarter in the future! Li Su frowned and swallowed a piece of fish meat, and at the same time did not forget to preach to the ugly, but his appearance provoked Yanyan next to him to cover her mouth and giggle.
Speaking of which, it is very similar to Li Su in all aspects, for example, both of them are more afraid of heat, and the taste of eating is similar, they like to eat sweet and sour food, but they don't like to eat fish. It's just that fish was made on the boat today, and Li Yu thought that eating fish would help children grow and develop, so he gave his share to Ugly. Let her have to finish eating. But Chouchou was unwilling, and in the end the two compromised, as long as Li Su ate a bite of fish, Chouchou would also eat a bite, so now the father and daughter are competing.
However, Li Su reluctantly ate half of the fish in front of him, and he couldn't eat it anymore, so he simply threw the chopsticks and said, "Okay, let's eat here today, let's continue tomorrow!" ”
Ugly and ugly was almost full at this time. was going to admit defeat, but when he heard his father say this, he immediately showed an expression of unyielding and said: "Go on, just continue, I want to see how long your father can last?" ”
Ugly and ugly finished. She turned around and left like a female general who had won a battle, while Yeon-yeon, who was next to her, followed with a smile. However, Li Su, who was originally pretending to have a bitter face, sighed after seeing the ugly and ugly leave. Then he took a few sips of tea and suppressed the fishy air in his mouth.
At this time, Wen Xin, who had been smiling and looking at their father and daughter next to her, came over and said with a smile: "Husband, you really feel ugly, in order to coax her to eat a few pieces of fish." I would have come up with such a solution! ”
But after hearing this, Li Su smiled and said: "My daughter is good, not as troubled as my son." And I also know that I feel sorry for my parents, let's try to give Ugly another sister this time! ”
Li Su said, reaching out to wrap his hand around Wen Xin's slender waist, not caring at all that there were maids watching next to him. However, this made Wen Xin a little embarrassed, and he pushed it a few times but didn't push it away, so he sat in Li Su's arms and didn't struggle anymore. However, the three daughters of Luzhu, Wen'er and Hua'er next to him saw it in their eyes, but they all secretly covered their lips and smiled.
This made Wen Xin feel even more shy, and waved his hand at the moment, letting Wen Er and the others go down, and after the green beads that went out at the end closed the door, Wen Xin's whole body was loosened, and he shrank in Li Su's arms and couldn't come out, and Li Su also held Wen Xin so quietly, and there was a warm warmth in the room.
After a long time this time, Wen Xin, who was leaning on Li Su's shoulder, suddenly lightly opened his lips and said: "Husband, the affairs of Luzhu, Wen'er, and Hua'er should also be done, they are all not too young, and it is not okay to drag it out like this." ”
Li Su was stunned for a moment when he heard Wen Xin's words, but then he felt a little headache, Wen'er and Hua'er are his personal maids, destined to be her women, and it is absolutely impossible to marry outside, and Luzhu is Wenxin's wedding girl, naturally the same fate, but Li Su feels that it is enough to have Wen'er and Xijun, so he has never thought much about Wen'er and the three of them.
It's just that now the three daughters are all twenty-three or fourteen years old, but they are still virgins, although they don't dare to say anything, they usually behave normally, but occasionally look at Li Su's gaze, and there is also a bit of resentment.
Li Su frowned and thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Since this is the case, then when we return to Taiwan this time, I will accept them as concubines, and I have indeed wronged Wen'er and them over the years!" ”
Hearing Li Su's promise, Wen Xin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wen'er and Hua'er didn't talk about it first, Luzhu grew up with her, although she was called a master and servant, she was actually about the same as a sister, so Wenxin has always wanted to give Luzhu a name, but Li Su didn't say anything about Luzhu, and even Wen'er and Hua'er around him hadn't moved, so Wenxin didn't remind Li Su, fortunately, now he finally gave the three girls a home, and it was not in vain that they had been guarding for so many years.
However, after discussing Wen'er and their affairs, Li Su's eyes suddenly turned, and he looked at Wen Xin with a smile and said: "I almost forgot about my husband, Wen Xin, you said before that you want to have another daughter, it seems that we have to work hard!" ”
Li Su said, without waiting for Wen Xin to react, picked her up and walked to the bedroom next to her. As a result, Wen Xin only had time to let out a scream, and then his mouth was blocked by something, and he could only make a 'woo' sound, and after a while, the room was full of spring.
The fleet traveled very fast, all the way south, and only stopped at Linyi for a while, then replenished some vegetables and fruits and hit the road again, this time until the Lion City in the Straits of Malacca. In the port, Li Su's fleet was naturally warmly welcomed by officials such as Lu Qing and Wang Kuang.
Speaking of which, the Lion City was originally served by Lu Qing as the governor, and the military and political power was grasped, but after the elimination of small countries such as Mo Luoyou, the entire Strait of Malacca finally calmed down. At this time, the military and political power of the Lion City was not suitable for one person, so later Li Su transferred the king of Linyi to the Lion City and became the assassin of the Lion City, managing the government affairs of the Strait of Malacca.
The Lion City is located on a small island at the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula, separated from the Malay Peninsula by a very narrow strait. However, at present, the Lion City has not been able to encompass the entire island, only occupying the southeast of the island, and the rest of the island is still in a state of undeveloped.
After Li Su accepted Lu Qing and Wang Guo's welcome, it was not early, and there were female dependents on the ship, so he didn't come to visit the Lion City, but asked Wang Guo to arrange for the people on the boat to rest on the shore. And during the meal, Chou Chou took Yanyan to find Wang Guo, which startled him, because he had not received any news beforehand, and now he suddenly saw his daughter, naturally he was very surprised.
However, after being surprised, Wang Guo also seemed very happy, after all, he had not been home for nearly a year, and now that the New Year is approaching, homesickness is even worse, and now he can see his beloved little daughter, which naturally dilutes a lot of homesickness, and at the same time he is more grateful to Li Su.
And when Li Su entered the port, the merchant ships that followed them also entered the port, and these merchant ships were also very popular, as soon as they docked at the port, there were immediately tooth people who came forward to ask about the goods and types on the ship, and whether the ship owner had a shipping direction, etc., generally speaking, as long as the ship owner agreed to ship, these tooth people will lead the buyer to see the goods in the shortest possible time, and wait until the buyer and seller do this business, they need to pay a certain commission to the tooth people.
Stone's small merchant ship also encountered the Tooth Man's inquiry, but when he heard that his ship was only carrying some ordinary cane sugar, they all left with a cold expression, which made Stone a little strange, thinking that these Tooth People did not look down on the business on their ship, and they were also a little angry at that time.
But then the captain of the ship, who was nosed with a lees, told him that because they had so little sugar, they could find a few shops in the city that sold sugar, and the tooth people thought that the owner of the ship must know this, and therefore would not hire them, so they were so cold.
After hearing this, the stone understood, thanked the captain at the moment, and then got off the boat with the pier. Although it is getting late, the Lion City, like Keelung and other places in Taiwan, does not have a curfew at night, so when it gets dark, the port is full of lights, and most of the merchants will not close too early, so they have time to find a few buyers.
And when they really walked into the Lion City, they suddenly found that they seemed to be in a foreign land, although there were many Han people around them, but a considerable part of them were all Hu people, these Hu people were black and white, tall and short, and the clothes were even stranger, even if they saw a lot of Hu merchants in Tainan, but compared with here in the Lion City, it was a bit of a big deal.
And it was at this time that Li Su, who had eaten dinner, suddenly had a whim, because he arrived in the Lion City a little late, so he didn't have the opportunity to visit the Lion City, but he just slept on the boat during the day today, and now he is in good spirits, it is better to go out to see the night view of the Lion City, and by the way, you can also see the most real side here.
If you think of something, you will do it immediately, Li Su immediately asked people to prepare, but he hadn't gone out yet, but he was already blocked at the door. (To be continued......)
