Chapter 855 Wharf (4000 Supplements)
Haiquan Port.
A large number of cargo ships and fishing boats docked on the dock.
Some of them are ancient sail styles, while others are covered with a layer of steel, and the huge steam chimneys keep spewing black smoke outwards.
The sound of whistle and the sound of coolies at the docks and the shouts of various vendors mixed together to form a lively and noisy scene.
Qi Laosi was a tax filing officer at the port. He was full of energy and was shiny on his bald head. At this time, he saw another old sailboat coming from above the sea level from afar, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
The Haixuan slowly stopped on the shore, and a young man wearing a short shirt and buzz cut walked down.
"Who is the ship owner? Come and file your taxes!"
Qi Laosi rubbed his fingers: "There is also a parking fee. According to the tonnage of your ship, one yuan per ton per day, and if it is less than a day, it is calculated on a day..."
"Boat? Where is the boat?"
Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand coolly behind him.
He had a free ship owner and asked the Haixuan to send him back to the mainland, and then he escaped.
At this time, walking onto the solid earth, there are no more bumps on the ocean, which makes people feel much more at ease.
"That's such a big ship, do you think I'm blind?"
Qi Laosi almost exuded a fragrant smell, pointed at the location of the Haixuan, and was suddenly stunned.
I saw that the berth was empty, where was there a ship?
Huh!
Huh!
His teeth suddenly trembled a little, and he looked up at the sky again. He saw a sun hanging high, but the ship was really gone...
‘Ghost Ship?’
Qi Laosi suddenly remembered a Western legend in his mind, and his legs couldn't help but soften: "What should I do if this... is this good? That person... that person..."
Thinking of Zhong Shenxiu, he became even more scared. He turned his head stiffly and suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning.
In the original position, the sailor disappeared.
Moreover, in his mind, the impression of that person was vague and he could no longer remember what the other person looked like.
...
Zhong Shenxiu mixed into the messy crowd at the dock, then walked out swaggeringly, looking at everything around curiously.
The peddler carrying wonton burden...
The vendor shouting the secret drama of Western movies...
A lady wearing Western-style clothes, riding a bicycle, and ironing her hair...
Blonde, blue-eyed, or red-haired and blue-eyed foreigner...
The scholar with long hair, tied in a bun, and wearing a green dress...
Everything is intertwined together into a bizarre picture.
‘Why is this sense of familiarity so similar? Could it be that the same fruit can really bear on different branches?’
A flash of light flashed in Zhong Shenxiu's eyes, leaving this question in her heart.
Outside the pier is a small market.
Foreign cargo ships unload the goods here, and some goods are sold directly on the spot. In addition, there are many passenger flows, which makes them prosperous.
Zhong Shenxiu found a stall and ordered a piece of wonton noodles. While eating, he was watching the market scene and the various aspects of the world.
This wonton noodles is very authentic. The wonton is made of pork with 300% fat and 700% fat and then chopped, and then added egg noodles and boiled soup. The wonton tastes smooth and the noodles are chewy. Because it is on the beach, shrimps and other seafood are added to the soup, which is endless.
'According to Fang Lang's memory, this is the 'Great Zhou Dynasty', the sixth year of the Di Festival... There are many natural disasters and man-made disasters in this world, and all kinds of monsters and strangeness, and abnormal weather is endless... Forty years ago, an envoy from the West took a steamship and crossed the ocean. As a result, the East and the West converged, and various new thoughts emerged one after another, but the Great Zhou Dynasty became increasingly chaotic...'
‘I cannot use my body now, and must exist in the form of Fang Lang. The most urgent thing is to contact the extraordinary world first... It is best to find clues between the Ourobosnake and the Lord of the Sect...’
After all, Fang Lang is just a sailor, and among ordinary people, he is already well-informed.
But I still have too little understanding of the extraordinary world.
Zhong Shenxiu stopped at the dock market, and there were also relevant considerations.
The dock area is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the business is prosperous. It is also possible to encounter strange people and extraordinary items. Perhaps you can get the stepping stone to enter the extraordinary world with this.
Even though he could not use his body, Fang Lang had also cultivated into a paralyzed corpse and immortal, and he still had a certain sense of extraordinary power.
Zhong Shenxiu's eyes swept over the pedestrians in the market. After waiting for a while, his eyes suddenly fell on a rich child.
The other party looked 20 or 30 years old, wearing a decent suit and short hair, like a student returning from studying abroad, followed by a book boy.
'This man is not extraordinary, but he has some abnormal aura on his body. He probably has been exposed to related items...'
He made a judgment in his mind.
In Fang Lang's vision, the world is like gray and white. Only people or things with extraordinary aura can emit a different color.
At this time, he saw another person passing by.
The aura that the other party was touched was several times stronger than that of the foreign students.
Judging from the other party's dress, he seemed to be a peddler.
"That peddler!"
Zhong Shenxiu shouted, and asked the man in his forties and full of shrewd face to stop: "Come here... I want to buy something."
"Why!"
The peddler happily agreed and stopped in front of Zhong Shenxiu with a load on his shoulders: "What are you going to buy? I am here, whether it is needles, threads, foreign smoke and fire, all kinds of overseas wonders... and I can also give you a sincere price!"
Zhong Shenxiu looked at the pile of fragments and suddenly took out a small black bottle from it.
The peddler's eyes lit up immediately, and he gave him a thumbs up: "You really have vision. This is a mermaid's pink. It has the magical effect of strengthening aphrodisiacs and can make people unable to fall..."
"It turned out to be the mermaid's scale powder?"
At this time, the foreign student also came over and showed a look of surprise on his face: "When I was studying in the West, I heard a classmate from a mysterious society say that this mermaid is also called a mermaid. Its scales have the magical effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang. If you take it for a long time, you can live a long life!"
He looked at Zhong Shenxiu, then bowed and said, "I am the next surname of Qiming Yuan, I wonder if this brother can give up?"
Zhong Shenxiu looked at the bright eyes of the men around him, and couldn't help but sigh at the man's misery. Before he could say anything, the book boy next to him shouted: "Young master, don't, the master has instructed him, if you dare to go to Yixianglou to find those sisters, you will break your legs..."
"Bah, this is a scholarly thing, you don't understand."
Qi Yuan spat and pulled out several pieces of paper money.
The Great Zhou Dynasty originally used silver to trade, but later Western currencies were imported, and the court also made innovations to create the Great Zhou silver dollar with a value of 'one yuan'. In addition, there were copper jars as auxiliary coins.
For large amounts of money, just use paper money and anti-counterfeiting, so the circulation is quite convenient.
Zhong Shenxiu glanced at it and found that the stack was at least twenty yuan.
‘This person... is such a great boy!’
