Soybeans are seasick, it's not that she hasn't taken a boat, from Nanshan Town to Dongyang County, she basically has to take a boat for most of the day. Sitting down for most of the day, not to mention being bored, it is not for nothing that there is a time when the chest is tight, dizzy, and dizzy.

This is the first ship of their Ark, the ship is very fast, three days and two nights have arrived in Tongzhou, they want to load raw silk here and transport it to Dongyang County.

If it weren't for her monthly letter, she would have almost suspected that she had failed contraception and was pregnant.

These two days were the meals cooked by the guys on the boat, very simple, rice mixed with corn residue, not only delicious but also hungry. A large pot of miscellaneous fish is braised with some fresh river shrimp in it.

The taste is average, not tasty, and not unpalatable. These things don't cost money, and when the big ship is sailing, it is enough to eat with two nets.

Three big boats, one for Zhao Dashan and his wife, one for Sun Wu and his wife, and one for Ma Wen and his wife. Each boat also cooks its own meals and does not stop. Originally, the soybean boat was supposed to be cooking soybeans. She had nothing to do, so she took over the cooking.

Zhao Dashan knew that she liked to cook, but she didn't like to wash vegetables and dishes, so he specially arranged for a guy Kang Ping to help her with chores when she cooked every day.

Who knew that she would cook a meal for a day, and she would be seasick and dizzy, so she could only do it casually by the little guy Kangping.

On the boat, everyone is not particular, Zhao Dashan only has Sun Zheng and a fifteen-year-old guy named Kang Ping on the boat, and they usually eat together. There were also three guys, one to Sun Wu and two to Marven.

After eating for a while, the soybean felt that it was not good, ran to the side of the boat and climbed down, vomiting so much that it was dark. If it weren't for Zhao Dashan grabbing him from behind, she doubted that she would be able to fall headlong from the boat.

Zhao Dashan rinsed the soybeans, then hugged her and let her go back to the cabin to lie down.

He has no effective way to deal with seasickness, he can only say that it is good to get used to it.

When I arrived in Tongzhou, I felt that I finally felt a lot better when I stepped on the land. The ship is unloading, and it is all a specialty of Dongyang County. There is also a part of the goods of the Ark Cargo Bank, Zhao Dashan came this time, and he also built the first branch of the Ark in Tongzhou.

The store has been bought, but in fact, it is not a purchase, it is a rent, but Zhao Dashan's rent is different from other people's rents. This is Princess Cheng's shop, which falls under the name of her confidant.

King Cheng resold it to Zhao Dashan, no money, as long as the annual profit of the Ark Cargo Bank is one percent, and ten years is the limit.

It's more than one, it's not much, but Zhao Dashan's shop is not so easy to take. said that it is one percent, if King Cheng wants you to transport a batch of materials on the ship, will you transport it?

Yicheng is just the principal and interest that King Cheng gave to Princess Cheng, what really makes King Cheng reach out is that he can follow Zhao Dashan's ship to transport more things out and in.

Is Zhao Dashan losing? If King Cheng succeeds, he will definitely make a lot of money, and if King Cheng fails, he will just not make money. Mr. Ankang's eldest grandson Ke has been sent to Zhao Dashan's ship, which means that Zhao Dashan is a back road left by Ankang for his grandson.

Kang Ping is a black guy who is not amazing in appearance and not tall. He was most happy to be able to get a share of Zhao Dashan's boat, and the soybeans were so delicious to cook. Not to mention the delicacies, but it is also a delicious home-cooked meal.

Today, because of soybean seasickness, he made a meal, everyone didn't say anything, the rest of the meal can explain everything, even he himself was not full.

As soon as the big boat stopped, he was ordered by Zhao Dashan to follow the seasick soybeans to go ashore first and go shopping.

Although Kang Ping is young, his skills are good, and he is very relieved to follow Huang Dou Zhao Dashan. Kang Ping is also the eldest grandson of Ankang, who has learned literary and martial arts, reads well, and writes well.

Huang Dou took Kang Ping to Beishi first, and Beishi is full of groceries, because it is close to the wharf, various freight stores and warehouses are here, and horse-drawn carts and donkey carts are continuous.

The children were scurrying around their feet, unattended.

"Kangping, look." Huang Dou pointed to the shop not far away to show Kangping.

Kang Ping looked up, and there was a small shop in the distance, and the owner was standing at the door scolding.

The shopkeeper is an aunt, and she looks very good, but when she scolds, she is very scathing and vicious. A crowd of passers-by watched.

"Hey, Ah Xiang spilled again?" A local aunt passing by sighed.

"Grandma, what's going on?" Soybean asked curiously.

"This Ah Xiang has been open here for a few years, and she has good skills as a man, and she has nothing to say about cooking home-cooked food. The boatman often comes to eat, and Ah Xiang is a person who can do things, and the business in the store is not one of the best, and it is also considered the front row in this restaurant.

His man saw that the business in the store was busy, so he brought his nephew over to help, pay for the work, and teach him to cook. No, I went home for the New Year last winter, got a cold, couldn't afford to get sick, and died.

The nephew's parents wanted to get this store over, saying that Ah Xiang had no son, just two daughters. This matter has been troubled since the Chinese New Year. Grandma sighed, women, it's really not good to have a son.

"Won't you get rid of his nephew." Soybean asked curiously.

Ah Xiang can't cook, and his man's nephew has been studying with her man for more than a year, and he can barely support the shop. She doesn't use her nephew, and it's not appropriate for a widow to bring two daughters.

In fact, the nephew is not bad, and the niece and daughter-in-law are not bad, but the father and mother have a big heart and want someone else's store. I still have to give birth to a son, otherwise it's really ......," said the grandmother and walked away with a sigh.

Huang Dou looked at Ah Xiang, who had already finished scolding people and walked in, and walked in with Kangping.

The store was clean and there was no one, and Ah Xiang was standing behind the counter about it. Seeing someone coming in, he hurriedly walked out enthusiastically: "What does this lady want to eat?" ”

Huang Dou looked at the wooden sign hanging behind the counter at her house: "One lamb soup, stir-fried shrimp, bacon and vegetable moss, three bowls of rice." ”

After speaking, Huang Dou turned around and sat down with Kang Ping.

The proprietress reported the name of the dish and came over to pour tea for Soybeans and Kangping: "This is the chrysanthemum tea picked by myself in autumn, and the lady can taste it if she doesn't dislike it." ”

"Hmm." Huang Dou looked at the wild chrysanthemum in the cup that gradually stretched out: "This tea is good, the shopkeeper has a heart." ”

"Don't dare to be, see if the lady is not a local, come to play?" There was no one in the store, and the proprietress Ah Xiang simply stood aside and served.

"No, there is a boat at home, come and deliver the goods, my family is just a boater." The soybeans saw that the heat faded slightly, picked up the tea bowl and tasted it gently.

"That lady is really a heroine among women, there are many boats, but there are very few women who are so young. The lady is not like a boat businessman, but has the spirit of everyone. ”

"Don't dare to be, it's the same as the shopkeeper, it's just a meal forced by life." Huang Dou didn't look up, he couldn't see the boss's face clearly, and he could know that his words should have touched her a little.

"Yes, what the lady said is that it is indeed forced by life!" The proprietress lowered her voice.

"Shopkeeper, please sit down, there is nothing to do, talk to me." Soybean raised his head and smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Don't dare to be, the little woman will be cheeky to talk to the lady." The proprietress Ah Xiang half-bowed, and sat down at the end of the stool.

"Before entering the store just now, I saw the shopkeeper scolding, although I didn't understand it very well, but I also had a very pleasant feeling, I don't know if to ask, the shopkeeper is ......?"

"Alas, I don't hide it from my lady, my face has been lost at Tongzhou Wharf. I bought this shop with my dead ghost for more than ten years, and I originally expected to rely on it to support my family for the rest of my life.

Who knew that a cold wind killed him last winter, leaving us orphans and widows. My uncle said that I had no son and no incense inheritance, and asked me to transfer the store to my nephew.

Not to mention that the uncle's family only has this one son, and he can't succeed him. Even if I can, my two daughters and I are counting on this shop to support our family, and we can't transfer it to his name.

The nephew is still filial and has been helping in the store. But I can't do it for a few days, you see the birds at the door of my store, it's all uncles who come to make trouble. They also deceived me that I had no cooking skills, and it was inconvenient for a widow to hire a chef to cook outside. ”

"Have you heard of the fairy drunk hot pot in Dongyang County?" Huang Dou looked at the proprietress Ah Xiang.

"I've heard that the owner was still in charge last year, and some regular customers came to chat. We are all in the ship business, and the flow of information is fast. It is said that the price of the fairy drunk hot pot is not expensive, and most ship merchants will try it when they arrive in Dongyang County. ”

"Well, the gods are drunk and have a franchise store, why don't the shopkeepers change their business methods and not be controlled by others." As Huang Dou was talking, a young woman came over with a tray to deliver vegetables, her face changed greatly when she heard the words, she glanced at the proprietress nervously, put down the tray and began to put vegetables on the table.

I don't know if it was a mistake or deliberate, a big bowl of mutton soup slipped on the table, and with a "bang" sound, Kang Ping quickly reached out to block it, and the splashed mutton soup splashed Kang Ping's sleeve.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young woman hurriedly bowed her head and apologized, and took out an embroidered handkerchief to wipe it.

"No, you don't." Kangping stretched out his other hand, sat down, and slowly rolled up the sleeves of his shirt that had been splashed with mutton soup until his elbows, and then pointed to the table: "Wiped it." ”

Kang Ping is not very old, he is in the period of voice change, and he rarely speaks, but his little black face is still very imposing.

The proprietress and the little woman who delivered the food hurriedly apologized and cleaned up the table. Bring the mutton soup into the back kitchen and fill it up.

Huang Dou and Kang Ping finished the meal slowly and carefully, and when they were eating, there were already two tables of customers in the store, who should be regular customers, and the proprietress was greeting them warmly.

I didn't eat much soybeans for a meal, but I took an empty bowl, drank a small half bowl of mutton soup, and added a little rice to soak in mutton soup and ate it. Even the shrimp she usually loves to eat only tasted two and then put down her chopsticks.

She didn't get seasick, and the food in this shop was really average. The rest of Kangping Hula was eaten cleanly, and he didn't forget to mutter: "It's not as good as half of what you made, Madame." ”

Kang Ping's voice was not loud, but the guests standing next door listened to it and began to talk about it. Ah Xiang, who was standing not far away, was blue and red for a while, and embarrassed for a while.

Huang Dou stood at the door, Kangping checked out and walked out of the door, and the two walked towards the market one after the other.

The proprietress Ah Xiang looked at their distant figures, pursed her lips, and was busy receiving guests again.
