Chapter 44 Sitting on my boat, there will be meat to eat
The ship sailed on the stormy river, and all the sailors assembled in the cabin, except for the helmsman and lookout.
Two hammocks lay a year-old girl, two teenagers, their faces pale and their eyes blank. It seems that it is not easy to be tossed by seasickness. There was also a guy lying in a hammock with a burlap tourniquet on his head and a fixation plate tied to his arm.
In addition to the three people in the hammock, there were three other people standing straight, and one of them couldn't help but rub his hip bone with his hand.
Zhao Jiaren said to the young people with a straight face: "I promised you to wait before. As long as you wait to follow me, you won't have a chance to come to Yangzhou in the future. But these people couldn't control themselves when they arrived in Yangzhou, and they fought with others after eating. I've said many times that we have to be disciplined. You are not allowed to get off the boat and fight with the locals, but you know it all, and you have talked about it. How to forget when you're done! This time, the board is to let them remember. ”
Seeing the brothers on the same boat crackling and stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, and now they are going to continue to be mentally tortured, the sailors are also a little serious. Then they listened to Zhao Jiaren continue: "Playing the board just to make them remember. The flesh suffers, but it is not to hurt them. The few who hit the board this time need to practice well in the future, and the pain will pass, and they can't be injured yet. This time it was a little harder. ”
These words stunned some sailors, made some sailors want to laugh, and made some sailors' expressions become serious. Zhao Jiaren didn't want to continue the topic. Punishment must be done in moderation, and it is wishful thinking to hope that a single punishment will solve the problem once and for all.
Everyone disbanded, what should they do, Zhao Jiaren walked to the pair of teenagers. These two guys looked like they were both fifteen or sixteen years old, and they should have been a hundred times more energetic at this time. Zhao Jiaren sighed in his heart, hoping that Jia Yidao's Wenzhou official family was a guy who counted.
Zhao Jiaren said goodbye to Jia Nidao and was about to go home, and Jia Nidao's housekeeper knew that Zhao Jiaren had come to Yangzhou by boat, so he asked Zhao Jiaren to take the two teenagers back to his hometown in Wenzhou. The father of the teenagers is seriously ill and hopes that the two dolls will be able to rush back as soon as possible.
Hearing this plea, Zhao Jiaren immediately said that his boat was super bumpy, and the little guy was afraid that he couldn't stand it. If he fell ill, Zhao Jiaren felt that he couldn't afford it. The butler had a look of disbelief on his face, and said that the little guy had a lot of experience in boating, and it was so easy to faint. Hearing that the little guy rushed back to see his seriously ill father, Zhao Jiaren relented and agreed.
It turned out that Zhao Jiaren's boat was far more turbulent than other ships, and the so-called experienced boys and girls were seasick. Zhao Jiaren hopes that Jia Yidao's housekeeper is not the kind of cautious goods, and Zhao Jiaren needs to maintain a long-term good relationship with Jia Yidao.
Seeing the two little ones just had ugly faces and were not in danger of life. Zhao Jiaren put on his coat and went on deck, and the advantage of the schooner was that it could use the 'zigzag' route to go against the wind. Accordingly, it takes a lot of effort to maneuver the sails and the course, and the people on board need to take turns steering the sails in rainy days.
Those on duty were busy on deck, and those on duty lay in hammocks near the hatch. Relying on the inner little girl's strong spirit, she asked the young man next to her in a low voice, "Big brother, let's spit dirty on people's floors and let people clean them." Will we be beaten too? ”
When seasick, where can you estimate so much, the two teenagers vomited on the ground. Every time they vomited, the ship's sailors cleaned the ground of the vomit. Hearing his sister's frightened words, he was also speechless when he was a brother. Even in Jiafu, Jia Rudao, who lives at the top of Jiafu, is only treated like this. The two of them were mere servants, and they were punished for soiling the ground.
The two babies were already seasick, and they were frightened, and they didn't know when they fell asleep. When they awoke, they saw that it was pitch black outside, and near the hatch, the torches were burning weakly. The hammocks were full of people, and everyone was sleeping.
After all, he is a teenager, and his body recovers as soon as he wakes up. The two teenagers' heads were no longer dizzy, and their stomachs were no longer churning. 'Goo...... ......' their bellies growled.
In the Song Dynasty, when you are hungry, you will endure it. This is a compulsory course that every teenager has to go through. However, the sense of smell, which was catalyzed by extreme hunger, smelled an indescribable fragrance, and his stomach growled, and his saliva continued to swallow into his stomach.
At first, the two of them used reason to forcibly suppress their hunger, and then the elder brother suddenly turned over and sat up, and said to his sister, "Let's go and see." ”
This very courageous statement is not strong, even if you can't eat it, can't you see it?
My sister didn't dare to go now, but when she saw her brother walking forward, she finally got up decisively. Lying here quietly and enduring the pain, the pain not only did not subside, but intensified.
Following the guidance of the aroma, the brother and sister arrived in the next cabin. When the door was open, I saw a pot hanging from the stove in the house, and the source of the aroma came from the pot. Several people were gathering around the table to serve bowls of food, and when they heard movement at the door, everyone's eyes fell on the two brothers and sisters.
The fire was dim, and it shone from below, and the brother and sister were frightened by the scary-looking faces. However, the stomach honestly groaned...... ......' sound.
The rest of the room was amused. Zhao Jiaren asked, "Aren't you dizzy now?" ”
The elder brother didn't dare to answer, but the younger sister replied cheerfully: "Back to Zhao Guanren, I don't faint anymore." ”
"Then come in." Zhao Jiaren greeted, and then said to the people next to him: "Give them a bowl of rice." ”
The elder brother was a little uneasy, but the younger sister pushed the elder brother, and the two sat down at the table. Soon, a bowl of rice, a bowl of hot stuff coming out of the pot was placed in front of them.
After taking a bite, my brother almost swallowed his delicious tongue. It was a pot of chicken broth with salt in it, seasoned with peppercorns. Not only did they have soup in their bowls, but also a few pieces of chicken. After his brother's eyes gradually adjusted to the dimness, he saw that there were a few pieces of meat that were very fat, and he was afraid that others would see that he had made a mistake, so he quickly lowered his head, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, he realized that it was not a large piece of chicken, but an oyster. And this oyster is grilled over charcoal, which is very different from the one that is directly stewed. The two umami flavors converged, and the elder brother suddenly found tears in his eyes.
Zhao Jiaren didn't see it, and he didn't care about it. After the local earthworms were raised in Fuqing, the number of chickens and ducks increased dramatically. Hens and ducks can lay eggs, while roosters and ducks can only eat meat. It doesn't cost a lot of money to buy this meat for the people on the ship.
After eating, Zhao Jiaren called the people in shift, and he went to sleep with the previous wave of people. The well-fed teenager was also ordered to go back to the hammock and continue sleeping. It's not far from Wenzhou, and if you can deal with the troubles of these two Jia like Taoists as soon as possible, you can return to your own affairs as soon as possible.
It took only six days for Zhao Jiaren's ship to sail from Yangzhou to Wenzhou. The boy's home is from Wenzhou, and he is quite happy to see his hometown.
More than a month later, in the seventh month of the Song calendar, the two teenagers finally returned to Jiafu in Yangzhou. The housekeeper was not worried that Zhao Jiaren would do something to abduct people, and it would be surprising if something happened to the two.
It wasn't until he listened to the little guy's story that the butler was surprised. In the rainy day, it is not uncommon to walk from Yangzhou to Wenzhou for half a month. Zhao Jiaren completed the course in only six days, which is almost the same as flying. The housekeeper couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this was not to report to Jia Yidao. This kind of news of the clippers is meaningless to appease the two Huai. The steward felt that the clipper would be of great use to him.
However, if you want to contact Zhao Jiaren, it is not so easy to see now. Zhao Jiaren can run from Yangzhou to Wenzhou in six days, and the housekeeper can't do it anyway.
