Chapter 455: The Giant Seaman
He took out a little gold, and with a flick of his fingers, he pinched it into a palm-sized gold cake and threw it on the counter with a clattering sound.
The shopkeeper took the gold cake in his hand, and was a little surprised to see the finger marks on it, this is not a smelted gold coin, it is clearly taken from natural pure gold nuggets, and it was pinched like this, he stuffed the gold cake into his mouth, and bit it gently, and sure enough, there were a few tooth marks. After verifying the composition of the metal, he grinned and said, "The guest officer gave too much! half a piece is enough!"
Ji Wenming nodded and said, "If you have more, you will be rewarded!"
The diners who were originally waiting to see the jokes of the strangers saw that Ji Wenming's shot was a palm-sized gold cake, extravagant to the extreme, and they had three people at a table, and they ate more food than the ten people next to them, and they couldn't help but admire, not knowing that the other party was the son of that clan.
A young man in white looked at Ji Wenming and the black-faced boy and white-haired spirit fox beside him, and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, he stood up and said, "This brother, I see that you are very familiar, but the five old peaks talk about Yu?"
Wulaofeng's argument was only ten days ago, but he didn't expect it to have been spread to Quancheng, Ji Wenming did not change his appearance, but just put the golden silkworm boy on top of his head, turned into a small worm and lurked, but now he was recognized by his original identity, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said: "How do you know me?"
The young man in white smiled and said: "Sure enough, it's you! Brother Yu, the genius of the Dao Conference, the Dao Conference shines, and no one knows who knows in the great wilderness! I didn't expect to meet it here!"
The young man in white revealed the identity of Ji Wenming in one sentence, and several young people in the same costume beside him suddenly got up angrily and glared at Ji Wenming, and one of the sturdy young men said: "Senior Brother Wuhuai, is he really that Yu?"
A few days ago, the elder of the Tianya Sea Pavilion came back with the Canghai Mirror to convey the news, telling the story of the five elders of the Dao Conference, and focusing on the rebellion of the Yu Killing Division. Wu Huai is a true disciple of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, and he is the leader of the last Dao Conference, so he can get the news in advance, and see the appearance of Guo Yu through the Canghai Mirror. I thought that the great wilderness was vast, and the vast sea of people had no chance to see this person, but I didn't expect to see Ji Wenming in front of him in the market today, so I opened my mouth to test it, and sure enough, it was him.
The white-clothed young man said with a smile: "Senior Brother Qianbo, there is a black-faced boy and a white-haired spirit fox beside this person, these are all characteristics of Yu, if it weren't for him, who else could there be?"
Gongsun Qianniao looked at Wu Zhiqi and Fox Xinyue, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, it's time to get rich!"
Ji Wenming found that the other party was secretly hostile, and said solemnly: "This senior brother has also heard of my name, why did you stop me this time?"
Wu Huaiyan waved his hand lightly, comforting a few junior disciples and sitting in the position, he knew that Ji Wen's life was extraordinary, and his strength was amazing, he didn't want to anger him on the spot, in case he ran away, it would be difficult to find it, so it was better to pretend to be good first.
So he said: "It's nothing, it's just that I saw my brother's extravagant and extraordinary, so I got acquainted!
Ji Wenming thought that before he left in a hurry that day, several disciples of the University Palace were talking about his betrayal, even if it was passed on, it was probably not a good word, although this person did not question him face-to-face, but the eyes of several of his friends were not friendly. He is not a fledgling child, of course he knows the truth that he only talks three points when he meets people after many years of traveling in the Great Wilderness, so he snorted and said: "I have long heard that Dongsheng is prosperous, and I specially came here to travel, since the senior brother is fine, I will leave first!"
Ji Wenming turned his head and left, Wu Huai Yan hurriedly instructed a few juniors to follow him later, be sure to find his location, and then personally led people back to Tianya Hai Pavilion to pass the news, Yu's body has a bounty, and now he appears in Dongsheng Domain, if he is taken down, it is enough to make himself famous in the world, how can he let go of such an opportunity?
Out of the tavern, Ji Wenming found that someone was following him, and Hu Xinyue complained: "Brother Wenming, why do you confess that you are Yu? Now that you have been caught, I am afraid that you will be sad in the future!"
Ji Wenming said with a smile: "The manly man will not change his surname, and he will not change his name! Besides, after eating this meal, we will go to sea, and I am afraid that they will find us!"
The three of them went all the way to the east, and Ji Wenming had already inquired in the market, there was a fishing village near the sea, and there were ready-made boats here, but the fishing boats driven by the fishermen were relatively small, and they generally only operated within a range of dozens of miles on the seashore to ensure safety.
Seeing that the sea was vast, and the waves were three or five zhang high, Ji Wenming knew that the small boat could not withstand the wind and waves, and he had to find a big ship to cross the sea.
In this fishing village called Niwan Village, there is a family surnamed Mu, who is good at making boats ten zhang long, and only such a large boat can sail farther.
The three of them traveled very quickly, but they arrived at Niwan Village in half an hour. This village is close to the sea, looking up at the endless sea, there is a stone cliff more than ten miles away from the south of the village, splashing several zhang of white waves under the lapping of the sea, the stone cliff blocks the wind and waves, forming dozens of miles of mud and sand beach next to the village, children will always swim, play, and pick up shells in the mud and sand, so this village is called Niwan Village.
There are indeed dozens of big boats on the wharf of Niwan Village, which are more than ten times larger than the ordinary river boats, which should be the sailing giant boats made by the Mu family.
Finding the way and asking a few pedestrians, Xi Wenming found the location of the Mu family in Niwan Village, this family is a big family, most of the people in Niwan Village are descendants of the Mu family, the ancestor Mu Ye, started with making boats, and has developed to this day There are five generations.
Ji Wenming came to visit, and Mu Fan, the current old man of the Mu family, received the three of them. Boat making is the ancestral industry of the wooden family, with the maturity of technology, the manufacture of wooden boats is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has been able to manufacture more than 30 zhang of large boats, but the boat is big, the natural value is expensive, and ordinary fishermen rarely have the money to buy.
Ji Wen told him about his intention to buy the giant boat, Mu Fan was overjoyed, his family had several large ships in stock, and he had been unable to realize them, of course he was willing to sell them to Ji Wenming and others.
After negotiating the price, Ji Wenming paid dozens of gold cakes in advance on the spot as a deposit, Mu Fan wanted to make a new boat for him, but Ji Wenming asked for the boat to be picked up as soon as possible.
Mu Fan had no choice but to pull out the inventory of the boats, and took Ji Wenming to the beach on the spot to watch the goods and pick up the ships.
The wharf was filled with dozens of big boats, most of which had owners, and they had been set down by the wealthy of Quancheng, and even the Tianya Haige had also ordered one! The remaining two ownerless boats were placed in the wharf, one of which was 25 zhang long, which was originally set for Haiwei Building, but his family was in trouble, his business went bankrupt, and he had no funds to get the boats, so he was shelved here.
Ji Wenming looked at this giant boat, all of them are wooden tenon structures, strong and durable, and even waterproof treatment with raw lacquer, after entering the sea, it must be a hundred miles without fear of wind and waves, and there will be no risk of water leakage after sailing for several years, because it is cleaned up every day, it looks the same as new.
Ji Wenming wanted to buy the giant boat in full on the spot, but at this moment, dozens of people suddenly came in the distance, shouting: "Mu Fan, don't make a move, my son-in-law wants this boat!"
