Chapter 304: Sea Whale Boat
Hua Wenxiang is already a Danqing realm cultivation, the speed of the wind flight is extremely fast, less than two hours has crossed the continent to the Luxiong Continent, due to the appearance of people not far ahead, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Hua Wenxiang decided to rush on foot.
Now it is less than twenty miles away from the ferry port of Luxiongzhou, and if Hua Wenxiang's pace is a little faster, it will be able to arrive at dusk.
The young man has often sighed these days that he had only achieved the Great Perfection of the Crimson Realm when he first came out of the forest, and now he had entered the Danqing Realm, and even he didn't believe in this kind of cultivation speed.
Those great monks who used to envy him are now on an equal footing with him, and the punch he once envied is worth a thousand catties, but now he can hit it casually, and he now has many things that he once envied.
Suddenly, the young man had some regrets, but it was a pity that the ferry to Luxiongzhou did not pass by the Agarwood Palace, otherwise he could go to see Tu Yuelian.
In the few letters I received last time, Luo Bei has not yet left the sword mound, and Ruluo has not yet left the Xuanwu Forbidden Land, I don't know if the two of them have come out now... Dong Qian also wrote a letter to Hua Wenxiang, telling him to hurry up and go to the Tower of Babel to play with her.
Luxiong Island is close to the Tianxiang River, the people here in addition to fishing in the river for a living, can also make a living by dumping goods at the ferry, because of the developed shipping industry here, the living conditions of the local people are extremely superior.
Along the way, Hua Wenxiang did not rest, so before dusk, he came to the ferry port of Luxiongzhou.
There are more than 10 ferries in Luxiongzhou, the largest of which is called "He Yan Ferry", as the name suggests, the starting point and end point of this ferry are Zhong He and Beiyan respectively, Hua Wenxiang is to take a boat at this ferry.
Although it is winter now, the Tianxiang River does not freeze all year round, so the fishermen of Luxiongzhou have a livelihood all year round.
Hua Wenxiang went to a shop to buy a ferry ticket, and there was a boat dispatch table posted on the wall of the shop, "There are still two hours before the departure time, it seems to be early." ”
At this point, the ship that was waiting had not yet arrived, and there were only a few smaller boats on this side of the dock.
Hua Wenxiang wants to take the sea whale boat belonging to the Shengchang Imperial Court, and this ship is only the sky boat of the Dong family.
The Sky Boat is the largest ship in the world, and this ship generally only goes from Shangyi to Beiyan and Xiang'an, and Hua Wenxiang plans to take this ship when she goes from Beiyan to Shangyi.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the sky gradually darkens.
Hua Wenxiang, who hadn't eaten anything outside for almost a year, bought a roasted sweet potato at a small stall and sat down on a big rock on the dock and ate it.
Soon after the sweet potatoes were eaten, I saw that the Tianxiang River not far away was becoming more and more agitated, and the flowers were warm and fragrant, and a behemoth was slowly sailing.
The ferry is as big as a mountain, shaped like a blue whale, with hundreds of windows lit up and people moving around every corner of the boat.
Where the ferry passes, the water of the Tianxiang River is divided into two halves, the waves are rolling, surging backwards, the bright boat will light up the dark Tianxiang River for several miles, this huge ferry is like a scenery in the dark night at this time, people can't help but cast their eyes.
When the big ship docked, the boatman placed the stairs smoothly on the shore, and there were three places to get off the ship alone, which showed the size of the ship and the number of passengers. The passengers disembarked one after another.
This side of Luxiong Island is the terminal station, so at this station, all passengers have to disembark.
After tea, the steward of the ferry checked that there was no one in the boat and began to let the people waiting for the boat at the dock board the boat.
At this time, there were already three long queues on the dock, and Hua Wenxiang found a relatively small team to line up.
When everyone got on the boat, the steward ordered the wooden ladder to be brought back, and then the big boat turned around and went back to Beiyan.
Hua Wenxiang stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the rolling Tianxiang River in front of her, shocked, if this kind of big ship guessed correctly, it must have been launched with blood soul qi... How did such a big ship be built? The person who designed this ship is really powerful, the Dong family's Sky Boat is bigger? How big is that......
The young man who was working on the ferry for the first time thought about it as he walked around on the boat.
The speed of the ferry is not fast or slow, and the speed of ordinary horses on land is comparable, but taking this kind of boat is far more comfortable than taking a carriage, but the price of this boat is also ridiculously expensive, from Luxiong Zhou to Beiyan, the price of the boat is five hundred taels of silver, and ordinary people can't afford to sit at all.
It took two hours to finish the big boat, and this whale boat is really no different from a small city, with gambling houses, restaurants, theaters and other places.
Hua Wenxiang found his room with the help of the ferry ticket, it will take at least three days to get from Luxiongzhou to Beiyan, and he will stay here for the next three days.
The rooms in the ship are not provided for free, and they need to be rented for money, and an ordinary room costs one hundred taels of silver a day, and it costs three hundred taels for three days.
There are open areas for passengers to sleep on, separate for men and women, and many people choose to sleep here.
It is certainly not the poor who can ride the whale boat, but it is not necessarily the rich either, and the reason why these slightly wealthy small merchants take the whale boat is simply because they need to transport goods, which is really a last resort, and often such people will live in the public area of the ferry.
Hua Wenxiang meditated in the boat for two hours and then had no intention of meditating, he is now a cultivator in the Danqing Realm, even if he doesn't eat for two or three years, it doesn't matter, but Hua Wenxiang really can't forget the delicious food in the world, and still wants to eat happily.
The young man pushed open the door and went straight to the restaurant.
There are several restaurants in the boat, Hua Wenxiang picked the largest one to eat, just came to the restaurant and heard the sound of Lang Lang on the high platform, Hua Wenxiang itself is not bad for money in his pocket, even more so after joining the Qing Sect, this trip, the senior sister Chen Mu gave him five thousand taels of silver tickets, which made the young man who has always spent money more wanton.
The people who came to eat in the restaurant here were all distinguished guests, and the second child of the restaurant knew that he was a boy when he saw Hua Wenxiang dressed well, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Hua Wenxiang looked at the menu, gasped, the dishes here are more than ten times more expensive than the outside, but they are expensive, the same is not less, a table of dishes finally cost more than 100 taels of silver.
Xiao Er saw that the flowers were so generous, and he poured tea and water more and more affectionately, but he felt that he couldn't eat so many meals, and in the end he had to waste it...... This kind of boy just spends money like running water and never cares about waste.
A table of dishes came up quickly, and Hua Wenxiang asked Xiao Er, "Is there any Xianjia wine?"
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then said enviously: "Yes, but there is only one, five hundred taels and one altar." ”
He dreamed of being this kind of rich man who spends money without blinking.
Hua Wenxiang took out another five hundred taels and handed it to Xiao Er, "Then bring me a jar to taste first." ”
He doesn't like to drink bad wine, he only likes to drink fairy wine.
The people at the surrounding tables kept casting their eyes, and everyone admired and envied the warm fragrance of the flowers, but there was also a hint of expression towards the ignorant between admiration and envy.
The things in the sea whale boat are extremely uneconomical, even rich people like them don't often spend money here, but Hua Wenxiang spends money so lavishly, it will inevitably make people think of him as a big wrongdoer.
Vegetables and wine came up one after another, Hua Wenxiang first took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, but the wine was spit out by him as soon as he entered the mouth, "What kind of fairy wine is this? Why is it so unpleasant!"
The little child next to him was startled, this was the first time that someone dared to talk nonsense in the sea whale boat, and explained: "This is indeed a genuine Xianjia wine, what's the matter? ”
Several tables of people around them looked at each other at the same time, they had eaten here several times, but they had never drunk the Xianjia wine, and when they heard Hua Wenxiang say it today, they were glad that they had not ordered this Xianjia wine before.
Hua Wenxiang realized her gaffe, then took a few bites of food and said in a low voice: "How can your immortal wine taste the same as ordinary wine?"
Hua Wenxiang also frowned slightly after tasting all the dishes on the table, although this dish is not very unpalatable, it is definitely not delicious, and it does not meet the price of the dish at all.
Xiao Er, who was serving Hua Wenxiang on the side, saw that the others were not bad, so he came over and whispered: "Childe, the things in our sea whale boat are definitely more expensive than the outside, but you have also seen that the environment on our ship is incomparable to the outside." Childe, this is your first time on a whale boat, right?"
Hua Wenxiang nodded.
Xiao Er smiled: "Then you should buy a lesson this time, don't spend money so blindly next time, I don't think you are bad for money, don't make trouble here today because the wine is bad, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses." Our whale boat is not a place to make trouble. ”
Hua Wenxiang saw Xiao Er's kind words and persuasion, so she was a little angry, "Okay, I didn't want to make trouble." ”
It seems that there is really a plan to spend money in the future, and today's unjust money should be spent as a lesson.
Xiao Er smiled and nodded, then stepped aside, waiting for Hua Wenxiang's greeting. For guests like Hua Wenxiang, who consume nearly 1,000 taels at one time, the restaurant sends children to serve alone.
"If the little brother doesn't drink that wine, can you give it to me?" A middle-aged man at the table next to him looked at Hua Wenxiang with a smile.
The middle-aged man was unusually handsome, dressed in white, and carrying a large sword wrapped in bandages, as brilliant as an immortal.
Hua Wenxiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't notice when the middle-aged man was sitting next to him, and Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, was the same as all the guests, all of whom didn't notice the arrival of the middle-aged man.
After taking a look at the middle-aged man, the woman in the restaurant, whether old or young, looked straight at her. How can there be such a good-looking man in the world?
Hua Wenxiang decided at a glance that the middle-aged man's cultivation was above herself, and put on a very vigilant look.
It's just that the middle-aged man's smile is kind, and he is very close to people, or the middle-aged man's expression is not angry and arrogant, which makes people can't help but respect him.
Hua Wenxiang looked at the middle-aged man, and when she saw that handsome face, she was suddenly shocked, the middle-aged man in front of her looked like a person, no, not like, but god-like!
The middle-aged man is simply carved out of the same mold as Luo Bei!
