Chapter Forty-Seven: Escape from Haizhou
Chapter 47: Escape from Haizhou
The ships entered Haizhou at dawn with the sea breeze, and there were many ship repair yards in Haizhou, which were lined up along the sea. The shipyards are all in the bay, sheltered from the wind and water, and the draft is very deep, which is a natural harbor. The captain steered the ship and slowly drove into a large ship repair yard.
As soon as the anchor landed, the people on the boat rushed up, it was true that they had not seen the land for a long time, and all of them had a feeling of going home, and they all disappeared in Haizhou City.
It will take a few days to repair the ship, and Wang Shan also wants to see the city, so he and the princess, Xiao Ruoshui, and Zhao Cheng slowly paced onto the dock and walked leisurely towards the city.
The captain and the people at the shipyard explained that the ship would be repaired within three days. During these three days, they had a holiday except for returning to the ship at night to rest.
Haizhou City is about three or four miles away from the wharf, and it is one of the most beautiful small cities in the south of the Yangtze River, with the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River and the atmosphere of the north of the Yangtze River. The side by the sea is mostly plain, but there are many hilly terrains, which also create many strange mountains and beautiful waters. You can see the smell of the sea, the smell of the mountains, and the smell of water in Haiju. It's something you can't see in other cities.
Wang Shan had only passed by in a hurry before, but he was not very unfamiliar with this city. So I took three people to the restaurant in the middle of the city, the morning meal is generally very simple, but here it is a lot of tricks, dumplings in northern Jiangsu, soup dumplings in southern Jiangsu, small snacks, sugar cakes are very delicious.
Wang Shan took three people to a noodle restaurant, which was not large, but there were already many people at dawn, and the four of them waited for a while before taking their seats. Xiao Er cleaned up the table and said with a smile, "What are the guest officers here for?"
Wang Shan said to Xiao Er: "Let's fill two soup dumplings, and then four bowls of chaos, and give four servings of dim sum." ”
Xiao Er left with a promise. After a while, it was served on the table. Filling soup dumplings is a specialty of southern Jiangsu, white appearance, a bite down, the juice flows out, the golden gold flows on the snow-white surface, plus the meat aroma of the entrance, it is indeed the second snack in the morning.
The chaos of Haizhou is also very mouthy, the meat filling of seafood, add a touch of Haizhou's local sea salt, do not add too much seasoning, just eat the freshness of seafood, with a few green coriander leaves, served up, it is very eye-catching.
In fact, the princess loves to eat dim sum, and she has to pack it away after a while, and wear it on the road to enjoy it slowly. That girl's mouth is not greedy, Wang Shan knows this.
After breakfast, Wang Shan came to the market with three people, and he said with a smile: "The crystal here is the best, you can pick one." ”
It is true that the people in Jiangnan are skillful, and the quality of the crystal is first-class, so the crystal jewelry and ornaments here are very spiritual. The four of them looked slowly, their eyes were spent, and they didn't know what to choose, everyone liked it, and everyone was reluctant. The princess chose a few ornaments, Xiao Ruoshui, and Zhao Cheng also chose a few favorite things.
Wang Shan walked slowly and stopped in front of an old man's stall. The old man looked disdainful, arrogant, and didn't look at the guests at all, and he looked like he loved to buy or not.
Wang Shan reached out and picked up a pendant, which was a monster pendant, not the shape of an ordinary dragon, nor the shape of an auspicious beast that we often see.
Wang Shan took it in his hand and looked at it slowly, and the three people surrounded him, and the princess said: "This thing is so strange, the tail of the snake, the head of the cow, and the body is still full of scales, what is this called?"
Wang Shan looked at the monster and said: "This is the Miao people's cow turned into a dragon, it is a mythical beast that is said to be a god of heaven, it is a mythical beast that separates heaven and earth, and it is said that heaven and earth were connected together before, and later the government sent this mythical beast to go down to earth to separate heaven and earth, so this is a mythical beast of the Miao tribe." Wang Shan looked at this divine beast and said slowly, he seemed to remember something, and picked out a few strange carvings.
The old man listened to Wang Shan's words, his disdainful eyes softened, and he watched Wang Shan pick up things, and his eyes kept staring at the things in Wang Shan's hand.
Wang Shan picked up the things and asked the old man, "How much is the total?"
The old man looked at Wang Shan with a smile on his face and said, "Dare to ask the guest officer, are you an official?
Wang Shan smiled and said, "No, I just heard it said, so I remember it."
The old man's eyes showed a hint of eagerness and asked, "Did you listen to a woman?"
Wang Shan sighed in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "It was said by a friend of mine who had been to Miaojiang, it was a man." ”
The old man looked disappointed and said: "Don't want the money, you take it, let's make friends, this is also fate." ”
Wang Shan smiled and said, "Uncle, how embarrassing is this? You can accept this." After speaking, he threw down five taels of silver, and without waiting for the old man to answer, he turned around and left.
The three of them followed Wang Shan closely, ignoring the old man's shouts, they also felt a little strange, but there were too many people to say, so they had to follow Wang Shan. Wang Shan walked out of Crystal Street with the three of them, and slowly turned to the place to eat.
After entering the restaurant, it was not until he reached the box that Wang Shan spoke: "We may be in trouble, there may already be people in Haizhou City who are eyeing us." The three of them were taken aback and said, "Is that the old man?"
Wang Shan nodded, sighed and said, "To be clear, it is targeted at me, I am estimated to be targeted now, and I am estimated to be involved in you." ”
Zhao Cheng took a sip of tea and said, "That old man is from Miao Jiang, he is looking for a woman, is he looking for a sister-in-law?"
Wang Shan looked at them and nodded, and said, "Hey, the first time I saw something from your sister-in-law's house, I wanted to buy it back to make her happy, but it turned out to be a burden to everyone." Wang Shan said with a guilty face.
He then said, "Otherwise, you will leave by boat first, and I will take care of everything here, and then go to Zhuojun to meet you, so that we can have less trouble." ”
When the princess heard this, she immediately jumped up: "No, we must be together even if we die, no matter what happens, we can't be separated." To die together. ”
Xiao Ruoshui said with a smile: "It's also a fight to come one." Coming to a group is also fighting, no matter what, we are not separated anyway. ”
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "If you want to dump us, there is no door, I will keep an eye on you."
A warm feeling welled up in Wang Shan's heart, and he was not hypocritical, so he directly ordered a seafood dinner. The seafood in Haizhou is boiled in clear water, just for the original taste of the seafood, but also to show freshness. The seafood with seasonings is generally not eaten by Haizhou people, for fear that it will not be fresh.
The seafood is very delicious, especially the shrimp, which is particularly delicious, after the princess finished eating, she quietly asked Xiao Ruoshui: "Am I much fatter than before?"
Xiao Ruoshui nodded and said, "It's okay, let's eat, anyway, it's not too heavy for me to eat again, it's a big deal that two people die together, and they are the right dead mandarin ducks."
The princess stretched out her leg and said, "Who is a dead mandarin duck with you?" ”
Xiao Ruoshui shouted exaggeratedly and said, "Then be a live mandarin duck." After saying that, he escaped from the box. The princess chased after her, ready to give her the old fist education.
Wang Shan and Zhao Cheng laughed, and the two chatted as they walked, they had to carefully plan how to escape from Haizhou safely. What they didn't expect was that there were already people in the capital who were already eyeing them, and there was more than one family, could they escape from Haizhou?
