Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 115 The Taste of Hometown
The sea is vast and boundless, and the sea water of the deep sea is mixed with the burning red clouds in the sky. This magnificent and beautiful scene makes people's hearts agitated.
Chu Ci stood on the deck, looking into the distance.After a few days of adaptation, he has gotten used to this feeling of ups and downs, and finally he is no longer listless all day long.
"Master, the meal is ready, let's go down to eat!" Zhang Hu ran up from the cabin, seeing his master looking at the sea again, he was very puzzled, what is so good about this sea?
"Let's go." Chu Ci sighed.The reason why he was melancholy was entirely because the food here was really unpalatable.Every time he saw the food here and smelled the smell inside, he couldn't help feeling a little nauseous.
Seafood is cooked every day, and the seafood is not marinated with ginger cooking wine, so the fishy smell is not to be mentioned.He squeezed his nose every day to eat some, and his body did not collapse because of the pastries he bought when he went ashore for supplies.
Zhang Hu ate quite a bit, he was originally from the sea, so naturally he didn't care about the fishy smell.He has great strength since he was a child, so he eats a lot more than others.In a food box, except for Chu Ci who ate half a bowl of cooked rice, he ate the rest.
Chu Ci lived in this environment where he couldn't eat every day, and every time a ship docked for supplies, it was his happiest moment.That kind of non-perishable pastry, carrying up packs one after another, without caring about its price at all, made Zhang Hu, an honest man, stare blankly at it.
Because Chu Ci was too generous, he even encountered a thief once.When that person bumped into him on purpose, Chu Ci felt that something was wrong. When he touched his waist, the bag hanging on it was torn away.
As soon as he gave an order, Zhang Hu chased forward.When he caught up with the man, Zhang Hu stretched out his hand and grabbed the man by the back of the collar, then picked up the man and threw it to the side. He fell three or four meters away, and the little thief who fell yelled.
Chu Ci once again clearly realized Zhang Hu's strength, which was even more shocking than the first time he saw him resisting two bags of things at the pier, and his sense of security was instantly doubled.
……
Chu Ci staggered all the way, drifting on the sea for about a month.When he finally stood at the port of Haiping Mansion, he was relieved that he had finally survived.
"Dahu, let's go, the master will take you to a good meal!" Chu Ci strode forward, looking very high-spirited.
"Hey." Zhang Hu smiled honestly, and then followed Chu Ci with two big packages on his back.
Chu Ci was originally from the north, and this Haiping Mansion is already close to the capital, so things like eating habits must be completely close to the north.
There was still some way to Fucheng from the port. Zhang Hu looked around and found a row of carriages parked by the side of the road.He went over and asked, then walked back with a grin.
"What's wrong?" Chu Ci asked.
"Master, it's too expensive!" In Taiping County, they needed to take a horse-drawn carriage from the port to the county seat, and it only cost [-] Wen for a trip, but here it cost [-] Wen.
"I can't help it, let's do as the Romans do." Chu Ci walked towards the carriage, and a short coachman sat on the shaft, and when he saw a guest coming, he stood up.
"Brother, the two of us are going to the city, and the trip costs two hundred cash?"
"Yes, yes, two hundred Wen! My husband, come up quickly!" The coachman smiled enthusiastically.
Chu Ci and Zhang Hu got into the carriage, Zhang Hu was a little restless, he said: "Master, why don't I go down there, this carriage is so expensive."
"If you walk below, he will still charge us two hundred Wen. It doesn't matter, just sit down and see that it's still a long way to the city."
Chu Ci comforted Zhang Hu, then opened the curtain and looked out.The land outside is boundless, and the grain in the field has been taken home now.
In the past two years, he has gradually gotten used to the terrain with many mountains and forests in the south, and this time he returned to the open north, he couldn't help but become more cheerful.
Zhang Hu also poked his head to look out, his mouth was open all the way.He has always lived in the south and has never been to the north. Seeing the completely different environment from his hometown at this time, he couldn't help shouting: "Master, look, there are so many lands! What kind of rich man must be to have such a large area connected to the land?" One piece."
His family's fields are here and there, and some are still in the mountains.If the fields can be on the side of the road, it will be very convenient for both sowing and harvesting.
"It's not owned by any one family, it's because everyone's fields are connected together." Chu Ci explained.
The two rode in the car while admiring the scenery. After walking for about an hour, they finally saw Haiping Fucheng.
When there was still some distance from the gate of the city, the coachman stopped.
"You two, we have to pay for the carriage to enter the city, so let's get off here."
Seeing that the road was not far away, Chu Ci didn't make things difficult for him, so he got out of the carriage with Zhang Hu.This seems to be the parking place they agreed upon. Apart from this carriage, there are many other carriages parked here. The drivers are sitting or standing, shouting loudly to attract guests.
"Guest, the amount of money seems a bit wrong?" Chu Ci counted out two hundred Wen and handed it to the coachman and turned to leave, but he was stopped by the coachman.
"Brother, why don't you count it again? You can't make a mistake if you count it twice." Chu Ci said gently. He had encountered this kind of situation before. People with little education often counted wrong situation.
"I know there are two hundred wen here, but you should give me four hundred wen!"
"What, didn't you say [-] Wen for a trip? Why do you need [-] Wen?" Zhang Hu exclaimed.Two hundred Wen is already too expensive for him, but this meeting even requires them to pay four hundred Wen.
"What two hundred Wen a trip? Our brothers agreed on the price earlier, two hundred Wen each! You two brought such a big package, I didn't charge you any more!"
As soon as the man changed his simple and honest appearance at that time, he raised his brows and slanted his eyes, and instantly changed into a treacherous appearance.
Chu Ci looked coldly at his haughty look, and looked at the people around him who had all stood up at this moment, ready to go, and knew that they were tricked, and that they were a gang!
First trick people into the car at a low price, then get off at a distance from the gate of the city, and then increase the price temporarily, so as to deceive more and less, and deceive them, outsiders.
"Big Tiger!" Chu Ci yelled, and called back Zhang Hu, who was about to push and shove, "We'll give you the money."
"Master!" Zhang Hu looked anxious.
"Don't talk about it. It's getting late now, go to the city and resettle early."
Chu Ci took out another two hundred Wen from his purse, counted it to the coachman, and then led Zhang Hu forward.
Zhang Hu started to cry with red eyes: "Master, it's all my fault, I didn't ask clearly. I should have gotten out of the car and left if I had known."
A big man would cry awkwardly, but Zhang Hu only has the brains of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and his behavior is slightly different from normal people, but his eyes are clear and he has a simple taste.So Chu Ci looked at the essence through the phenomenon. In his eyes, the tall and strong Zhang Hu was like a young boy who was bullied and cried.
"It has nothing to do with you, it's their problem. Even if we asked clearly at the time, it was only a matter of one sentence for him to repent."
Zhang Hu lowered his head with red eyes and said nothing, not knowing if he listened.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, Chu Ci took out the documents for judging people and handed them to the guards at the gate.
After the guards at the gate took the documents and read them, they saluted him and let the two of them in without searching.Ordinary people need a guide to leave the province. Zhang Hu is considered a servant of Chu Ci for the time being, so he can go in directly.
After Chu Ci entered the city, he became a little interested when he saw the house structure in front of him that was completely different from that in the south.These houses are all open and closed, completely different from the exquisite and compact ones in the south, and the roofs are also higher than those in the south.
He learned the lesson just now, found a restaurant with more customers, and then carefully looked at the prices of the vegetables above, and then found a seat in the lobby to sit down.
"Guest officer, what do you use?" The second brother pulled down the rag on his shoulders, and wiped the table for Chu Ci and the others attentively.
"What delicious food do you have here? Serve us two or three dishes with meat and vegetables, and then two plates of steamed buns."
"Okay! Guest officer, how about white meat and blood sausage for meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, and roasted fungus with scallions for vegetarian?"
"Okay." Chu Ci didn't eat very well all the way here, and at this moment, just hearing the familiar and long-lost name of the dish reported by Xiaoer, he couldn't help but salivate.
If it wasn't for that reserve, he might have stretched his head to look at other people's tables.
"Zhang Hu, sit down, what are you doing standing there?" Chu Ci turned his head and saw Zhang Hu was still standing there with his head down, so he patted the stool beside him and told him to sit down.
"Master, my father told me before he left that if I didn't do something good, I couldn't eat. I caused the master to pay so much money, and I want to save the money."
"You... sit down quickly, this is the master's order!" Chu Ci laughed, and then watched Zhang Hu sit down on the stool like a little wife.
"The master is going to enlighten you now. Just now you said that you caused the master to pay me two hundred coins more, right?"
"Ok!"
"The master ordered three dishes for this meal, look at the dishes on their table, the master can eat three by himself?"
Zhang Hu looked at other people's tables and saw that the plates were as big as their soup bowls, so he shook his head quickly.
"Is it because the store won't charge you if you can't finish it?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Hu shook his head.
"Then if you don't eat anymore, master, what I can't eat will be wasted? You are causing me to pay more money, master!"
Zhang Hu thought about it carefully, and then said: "Master, I'm going to ask them to remove two dishes!"
"You idiot..." Chu Ci was dumbfounded, "What is the identity of the master, how can he only eat one dish? Anyway, if you think about it, you have to watch the dish fall, and you don't eat it later."
"No, I want to eat! Can't pour!"
"Oh, that's right! Losing two hundred coins is already a disadvantage. If you make yourself unhappy in the future because of what you have already lost, wouldn't you suffer even more? We have to be happy." !"
"Can……"
"But what? Are you smart or the master? Do as I say. And, one day, the master will ask him to spit out the money for us!" A gentleman takes revenge, and it is not too late in ten years. no good ending.
Zhang Hu thought about it hard, and felt that the master was so smart, what he said must be right, and he had to do what the master said.
After a while, the second brother came to serve the food.
Chu Ci took a piece of blood sausage and put it into his mouth, his eyes lit up, it was the taste!The sauerkraut relieves the greasy taste of white meat and blood sausage, and after one bite, the taste buds are instantly opened.
He boldly grabbed a big steamed bun, took a bite, and felt happy again, he had to be so chewy!
He ate with relish, sending mouthfuls of steamed buns and vegetables to his mouth.
Seeing how delicious his food was, Zhang Hu ate it not to be outdone.In the end, the three big pots of vegetables and the two plates of steamed buns were made clean by them.
The guests next to him seemed to be watching a food broadcast, and their appetite improved unconsciously.For this meal, there were no leftovers in the entire lobby.
Chu Ci stood on the deck, looking into the distance.After a few days of adaptation, he has gotten used to this feeling of ups and downs, and finally he is no longer listless all day long.
"Master, the meal is ready, let's go down to eat!" Zhang Hu ran up from the cabin, seeing his master looking at the sea again, he was very puzzled, what is so good about this sea?
