Chapter 14 Seven Sails on the Sea 04 The drunkard strayed
Hu Lu gave an order in his mouth and ordered the big boat to go around the island, and the small boat of the old man Yu was in front, and he didn't feel anything at first, but when he passed the island, the wind was strong, and the sails on the small boat were puffed up, and the waves were like sharp arrows, and he actually left a big ship far behind, and Gu Tuyun was dumbfounded.
The wind on the sea is strong, about half an hour, the original island has been left behind, Chai Ying Ruo looked into the distance, saw the waves and clouds, the mountains were raised, looking like this, it was like a piece of land!
"Is this a small country in the sea?" Gu Jieyun has also seen the mountain peaks in the distance, although it is not high, but under this clear sea and sky, he can see it very clearly, he knows that there are many such small countries in the sea, most of them are based on an island as the king, and pay tribute to Daming, but he never thought that he would one day come to such a foreign country!
"It's not a country here!" Hu Lu smiled and said: " This place was originally a desert island, no one came and went, only some natives lived on it, and there were no princes and princes, only a few toasts were divided, and then the past business travel, felt that this island was between the ocean and the Ming Dynasty, some convenience, and slowly became the place where the ship was moored, now most of the islands are merchants in the area of Guangxi and Fujian, nothing more than to do some transshipment business, even pirates often come here to sell stolen goods, and gradually become a big place in the sea, we want to inquire about the news, but I am afraid that we have to land on this island!"
Without waiting for the big boat to approach the island, the small boat of the old man Yu had already docked, and without waiting for everyone, he went ashore and dragged his wooden boat up, but for a while, even the people and the boat disappeared into the woods on the shore!
"Isn't Old Man Yu waiting for us?" Chai Yingruo was a little strange, Hu Lu glanced at her and said: "Old Man Yu has only lived on this island in the past two or three years, and he has been going back and forth on various islands in the sea before, living here for a few years, living there for a few years, and besides, his old man is doing things, and he has his own old man's ideas, so he may not be willing to make peace with us, and when there is something, just go to him!"
"Listening to the old man Yu's words, he seems to be from Hangzhou!" Gu Qiyun was a little puzzled: "Why don't you go back to Hangzhou to live, but you have no fixed place to live in the sea?"
"The ancestral home is Hangzhou!" Hu Lu did not hide the origin of this jade husband, and said after a while: "But according to his old man, his ancestors went to sea from the Southern Song Dynasty, and the place where he went was a big Western country, which is considered to belong to the Whirl, and it took a long time to arrive at sea, and then moved back, and the Central Plains was in frequent wars, so he stayed in the sea, and it was expected that after the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and his family was stranded overseas and did not return, that is, in his generation, he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors!"
Ren Tianbai was suddenly disappointed, he still wanted to go to the island, and asked some doubts in his heart from the mouth of this jade husband, who knew that as soon as they got on the island, they left everyone behind. A little unwilling to ask: "Then I don't know what about the name of this jade husband?"
"Young Master Nephew, this is stumped for me!" Hu Lu said a little embarrassed: "Except for Miss Nine and Steward Hu, those of us who serve outside, we only know how to call him an old man, as for his honorable name, we don't know, and when Young Master Nephew sees Miss Nine, maybe he will know!"
A few people were talking here, the big ship had arrived on the shore, and there were many boats parked around the wharf, all of which were businessmen who came and went to the sea to make profits, even those people on the shore were talking, and they were all playing the tone of the Central Plains, but the accent was more or less the tone of their hometown, so as soon as they stopped, they knew that they were from Fujian and Guangdong!
After all, this island is rich in products, and there are merchants, among whom some shrewd businessmen have already seen that this place will become a big wharf, but abandoned the original business in their hands, and transported some Central Plains native products from Fujian and Guangdong to here, even the houses, which are almost the same as the two Guangzhou, so that Ren Tianbai and a few people have the feeling of arriving in Lingnan!
Hu Lu led a few people to a big restaurant on the dock, and chose a secluded private room, and then ordered someone to pass the food up, everyone wandered on the sea for so many days, although they were not worried about freezing and hunger, but the things they ate were nothing more than fish and shrimp, and even the water was rare to drink once, at this moment this restaurant was arranged, all of them were chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and all kinds of vegetables were countless, and they were all the taste of the Central Plains.
"Hey, I said Hou Er...... Shall we drink again......"
A few people were full of wine and food, and they were about to rest for a while, when the curtain of the private room door was suddenly lifted, and a drunk man broke in with nonsense in his mouth! It surprised everyone, and Gu Caiyun said coldly: "This friend, have you gone to the wrong place?"
"Did you make a mistake?" The drunk man looked up at the private room, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and then turned his head to look at the people at the table, as if he was a little surprised, he looked at the faces of several people one by one, shook his head and said, "You are not Hou Er...... What the fuck is there......"
"Shop!" Hu Lu was a little helpless, and shouted outside, and after a while, a little second brother ran in, and when he saw this drunk, his face was a little strange and said: "Guest, you are eating at that table, why did you come here?"
"You don't care if he is from that table, send him out quickly, and when he wakes up, he will naturally know that he is from that table, don't disturb us here!"
Hu Lu took advantage of his face to command, and the little second brother hurriedly helped the drunk man to go out, and was about to go out, when Hu Lu said again: "Make another pot of good tea!"
"Wait a minute, the guest officer, this will be delivered to you!"
The little second brother answered, helped the drunk man out, and paused for a long time, Chai Yingruo said with a smile: "This is also a loss in this overseas, when you see it today, tomorrow you will go your separate ways, if you are in the Central Plains, see each other often, wouldn't it be a joke!"
"Guest, here comes tea!"
The little second brother outside shouted, came in with a teapot on the tray, and put it on the table respectfully, Chai Yingruo asked with a smile: "Did the guest find his place just now?"
"I can find it there!" The little second brother looked gloomy, and shook his hand again and again: "I don't know if it's the drunk man of that family, he doesn't know the way back when he goes out, and he broke into our store, and he disturbed a few guest officials Yaxing, and our shopkeeper said that this pot of tea is given by us, and we don't charge any additional money!"
"Then didn't you see him when he entered the door?" Ren Tianbai poured himself a cup of tea, took it and took a sip, he knew that in front of the restaurant, there was a junior who specially recruited guests, and when he met such a drunk, he often wouldn't let him in, and the business of this restaurant was not very busy at the moment, how could there be such a fork?
