Chapter 5
Jiang Chaosheng subconsciously looked up at the sky. There is no pie in the sky, but fish will fall in the sea.
They dispatched a total of two boats, one boat had about a dozen people, and the other boat had none. Jiang Chaosheng's cabin was almost full, and fish were still jumping in from the sea.If you jump down again, the people on the boat will have no place to sit, and the carrying capacity of the boat is limited, the water surface will gradually become level with the waterline, and even begin to submerge the waterline.
"It can't be loaded anymore! The boat will sink!" Ah Lang, who was sitting in the same boat as Jiang Chaosheng, sat up, grabbed the fish with both hands and threw it out.
"Come over with another boat." Jiang Chaosheng commanded calmly, "Throw the fish onto another boat, and go to Wangzhou when the weight is almost the same." In this way, they can have a deeper understanding of the local prices when they sell this wave of supplies. understanding.
He looked at the surface of the sea where there were no fish jumping out, and the waves disappeared quickly, leaving only circles of spreading ripples.The sea water looks clear, but it is actually bottomless. Unless it sinks into the sea, it is impossible to see what is happening in the depths.
Ji Xuanbing didn't intend to smash Shen Engong's boat with fish. Almost as soon as Jiang Chaosheng finished speaking, he stopped and plunged into the deep sea, only intending to follow behind silently.
Staying in the sea, Ji Xuanbing is the real master of the sea, and no one can hurt him.Although he wanted to repay his favor earlier in his heart, when it came time to meet, Ji Xuanbing was a little hesitant.Will Engong dislike Merman, or treat him as a different kind? !
There is a saying among human beings that those who are not of our race must be punished.Even if Engong is a good person, what if the people around him become greedy.At the moment when the young man's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything fell on the surface of the sea, Ji Xuanbing felt a little timid, and subconsciously chose to retreat.
It's strange to say that Ji Xuanbing never knew what it means to be afraid since he was a child. Even when he faced an opponent who was much taller and stronger than himself in his childhood, he would rush forward without hesitation and use his sharp claws to pierce the opponent's body. Throat.
Ji Xuanbing's hand rested on his chest, bang bang bang, his heart was beating so fast just now, it was a very strange feeling to Yuren, this kind of heartbeat scene also happened when he met his benefactor The first side, but it was different back then than it is now.
When the back of the boat was far away, Ji Xuanbing showed his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed.
The oars cut through the current, and it took almost two hours for the boat full of sea fish to row to Wangzhou.Wangzhou is indeed several times more prosperous. The pier in Qiongzhou is very small. The pier outside Xiaohai Village is just a section of stairs extending from the shore into the water.The wharf at Wangzhou is a long embankment made of logs and big stones, where ships of various sizes are docked.
The people who come and go on this small pier alone exceed the population of Xiaohai Village.
"A little farther away, there is a big port, where all the big ships pass." A group of people unloaded the goods under the leadership of A Lang, tied the boat to the pier, and paid the relevant fees.The latter stood on a high place and introduced the situation to Jiang Chaosheng: "Like the big ships when you came, you can enter the port from the port, and it is very convenient to move goods."
"A Lang, why are you here?" A dark-skinned young man saw A Lang's face, he bumped the young man with his arm, laughed heartily, showing his white teeth.
"A Zhou!" A Lang completed a series of difficult high-fives with the opponent in a short period of time. He didn't realize Jiang Chaosheng's existence until the subconscious and tacit cooperation with the opponent was over.
A Lang embarrassedly scratched the slightly curly hair on the top of his head: "Let me introduce to you, this is my friend A Zhou, the boat of the boat. Their family used to be from Qiongzhou, and now they live in Wangzhou. "
He introduced Jiang Chaosheng in the mandarin he had already mastered a lot: "This is King An."
A Lang couldn't help laughing: "Your friend's name is too good at taking advantage, it's called An Wang."
Ting Zhu felt uncomfortable: "Bold!"
He was aggressive: "What do you mean by taking advantage? My master is King An, who was conferred by the emperor of the Lan Kingdom. His blood is the most precious. It is the master who is kind and doesn't care about you. People like you should salute the prince according to the rules." .”
The others did not speak, but silently surrounded them, as if Jiang Chaosheng was the main one.
A Lang hurriedly said: "He is from Kyoto. Hundreds of officers and soldiers sent him in a big boat. He is the real King An."
Up to now, he still doesn’t know Jiang Chaosheng’s full name, and he only follows others to call him Prince An. King An is a title given by the emperor, and it is also a warning. It does not mean peace and tranquility, but beats this ambitious son and tells him to keep his own place. , can not delusional supremacy.
The young man named Azhou couldn't laugh anymore, his open round mouth became a line, and he changed from cheerful and outgoing to bitter and bitter in an instant.
Jiang Chaosheng smiled and waved his hand, putting his index finger between his lips: "Shh, Tingzhu, we are just customers who come to buy things. Don't be afraid, little brother A Zhou. The boy is dedicated to protecting the Lord, and he is a bit reckless."
"You guys are familiar with Wangzhou. Today, I need to help a few people to sell fish and buy goods."
"My lord." Ting Zhu didn't understand why the master was so easy to talk to. From his point of view, this man from Wangzhou was just a small local official. The people in the capital always felt that he was more noble than other places. Master As long as you are polite to the biggest official in Wangzhou, the other party must have connections and the ability to give the best things with both hands, why are you so friendly to such a lowly poor boy.
"Ting Zhu." Jiang Chaosheng warned, "If you don't want to stay by my side, for the sake of old love, I will let you go out after paying your ransom money." After so many years by the original owner's side, Ting Zhu is not Possibly no savings.
Ting Zhu drooped his brows and eyes immediately: "It's my fault, Big Brother Azhou, please forgive me."
He was young and handsome, and looked similar to brother A Zhou, who immediately accepted his apology: "No, no, no, you are right, I offended too much." He glared at his good brother, If it's really to blame, it's also to blame this guy, A Lang, for not explaining things clearly first.
Jiang Chaosheng tapped the listening bamboo lightly with his fan: "I don't want to blame you because of outsiders, but you are too reckless." pull hatred.
Internally and externally, they are inconsistent, and they are polite to Ah Zhou because the other party is an outsider.Tingzhu came to his senses, a little happy and a little guilty, and now there was no resentment in his stomach, and he honestly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault, Tingzhu knows his mistake."
"Don't take this as an example." Listening to bamboo's recklessness, but being straightforward and reckless, there are uses for being straightforward and reckless. After all, he is young. If the other party is a few years older, Jiang Chaosheng may not have the patience to tolerate him like this.
It is indeed fast to make a high-profile identity, but on the one hand Jiang Chaosheng doesn't like high-profile, on the other hand.Brothers still have to settle accounts clearly. The emperor is far away today, so the lord of Wangzhou City will let him take advantage of it for nothing.He is just a prince, not an emperor. Whether the forces behind Wangzhou City have enemies with him is another matter.
Thinking about the complicated political struggles, Jiang Chaosheng felt a headache. If he got involved in this kind of thing, his retirement life would be completely ruined immediately. Thinking about it, Jiang Chaosheng was so happy that he was gone: "It's getting late, the fish is sold out. Find a place to eat, and go back after buying the seeds."
It was not a coincidence when they came, there was no particularly good stall selling goods, only a corner left.Although the fish is fresh, but there is no suitable equipment for storing the fish. Even if I rent the equipment to buy fish from A Zhou's house when I arrive at the shore, some delicate fish out of the water hang up on the spot.
Jiang Chaosheng didn't prostitute A Zhou for nothing, the money was small money, it would be bad if he owed favors, or let the people under him develop bad habits.
People who buy fish pick and choose, skillfully pick and choose: "Your fish are all dead, so it's not worth the money."
"Ma'am, we just caught this fish. It's absolutely fresh. It's easy to die." A Lang knew the market and firmly disagreed with the price offered by the fish-buying lady.
"If you can't sell it, keep it for yourself." Since it is a rare fresh product, Jiang Chaosheng doesn't mind keeping it for himself, and find a local restaurant to spend money to process it.
"My aunt will definitely believe you, the fish will be sold at the price you said!" The aunt glanced at Jiang Chaosheng, her voice was twitching, but her movements were quite neat, and she directly picked up a few big fish and left.
The traffic flow of their booth is very poor, because there is an extra Jiang Chaosheng Kan Yulang, there are a lot of people crowded here for no reason, and then more and more curious people.
Jiang Chaosheng basically doesn't talk to customers, and if someone asks others, he will answer for him, but the fresh fish on the stall are sold out in an instant, and the price is not particularly low.The man next to him was so envious, why doesn't he have such a face!
As a port city, there are a lot of people coming and going to Wangzhou City, not to mention twenty people, even a hundred people.However, Jiang Chaosheng and his group still attracted the attention of many people.It has nothing to do with the black-skinned brothers A Lang and A Zhou, and it has nothing to do with the sharp-toothed Ting Zhu. Jiang Chaosheng completely underestimated the lethality of his appearance.
He was not the tallest and strongest one in the crowd, but he was undoubtedly the focus among dozens of people. He could be seen even in the crowded crowd at a glance.
However, such a handsome man is not as cold as snow in the mountains, just beyond reach, his brows and eyes are warm, and he smiles with a three-pointed smile when he sees people, like the spring breeze in February, the scorching sun at noon, and he can see it in his heart accidentally. melted.However, Jiang Chaosheng's eyes never lingered on anyone's face. When he looked away mercilessly, after a while, the people caught by his gentle eyes could wake up.
A local, Azhou, introduced a restaurant that looks good and has a large space, which can accommodate more than 20 guests.Originally, it wasn't the meal time yet, and there weren't many people in the store. As soon as Jiang Chaosheng came, it was filled with customers in the blink of an eye.
It's also near the sea, and the weather is hot. Jiang Chaosheng ordered the refreshing kelp seedling shrimp soup, a lot of refreshing cold noodles, and some cold dishes, such as cold jellyfish, which tasted very good.
At Jiang Chaosheng's table, the portion of the dishes was very generous. Jiang Chaosheng ordered rice, and the rice was served in a separate small bowl. Others served a flat bowl. Jiang Chaosheng's rice bowl was not only bigger, but also piled up as high as a hill.
"There's no more small bowls." Not to mention the good-looking customers, the proprietress is willing to give more, just because of his ability to attract customers, so she should keep the customers for a while.
After eating, he went to the market for a walk. Jiang Chaosheng bought a lot of seeds, added some seasonings, and bought a lot of farming equipment.He even bought several cattle, which were so large that the big trading houses would send them by boat.The boss also took the initiative to give a big discount, which was quite conscientious, and A Lang, who was good at bargaining, didn't come in handy at all.Jiang Chaosheng didn't bring much money, and after paying all kinds of deposits, he basically spent it all.
"Go back after shopping, everyone has worked hard today."
Jiang Chaosheng didn't intend to make a high profile, but just this once, he was targeted.Originally, Wang An's identity was not a big secret, but after a little inquiry, his basic situation was found out.
The ship that arrived in Qiongzhou the next day brought not only the goods bought by Jiang Chaosheng, but also a lot of red boxes. Along with the layoffs, there were also several matchmakers.
"I don't know if my husband is married or not. It doesn't matter if he is married. I am here to propose marriage on behalf of someone else." There is not only one matchmaker, but there are several.
"My second young lady saw it first and bought Lang Jun's fish." "My young lady and Lang Jun had dinner together!"
"Your young lady is ugly and unremarkable! How is she a good match for your husband?" "My young lady has a wealth of wealth and a generous dowry!"
They all wanted to get a generous commission, crowded around, and simply attacked each other.
"Nonsense, I was the one who came first!" The sea shark was furious and set off a huge wave
Ji Xuanbing, who was originally troubled by complex emotions, did not expect that human beings could be so direct. He completely forgot about the twists and turns and began to get entangled.The people on the shore are rich and can compare to him!Human beings have a saying that the first strike is the first to be the strongest.Or else he would also send a shape-changing aquarium ashore to propose marriage to benefactor?
