Chapter 62 Rich is amazing
It was Qingming Festival, and from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the common people, they all prepared incense, candles, paper ingots, and sacrificial sacrifices. They rode out of the city on a boat to visit the graves for their ancestors. It was said that they were sweeping the graves, but the songs were clearly filled with songs, and the sounds of the Xiaogu were heard. People stood in the spring breeze, looking around the green mountains, wandering around the smoke and water, and exploring the elegant and pleasant spring scenery of Jiangnan like ink paintings.
When the grave sweeping ended, people couldn't wait to pick up a beautiful grassland, lay bamboo mats and curtains, put the wine and delicacies brought from the city, sing and dancing, and return home drunk and full. It was called grave sweeping, but it was actually a grand spring outing.
Zhao Hao stood at the bow of the boat, watching the cruise ships shuttled down the river, and the tourists on the river were full of noise and joking. He felt that he had returned to the short holiday four hundred years later. In addition to watching people, he had nothing but changed from a fashion drama to a costume drama.
He met Tang Youde early this morning and took a boat out of the city with great enthusiasm, preparing to quietly enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, this kind of scene was the same along the way, which made Zhao Hao feel quite disappointed.
It was not until the flat-topped cargo ship sailed far away from Nanjing and went upstream along the Yangtze River that the annoying crowd disappeared. Looking at the sunshine on the flower fields on both sides of the river, the alarmed birds suddenly flew across the water, and took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the country, Zhao Hao finally felt very happy and turned his head.
But when he saw Boss Tang and the work he brought, his face turned pale and huddled in a corner of the stern, as if he was about to jump ship and escape at any time.
"Huh?" Zhao Hao asked strangely: "Is Boss Tang seasick?"
"Haha, it's not seasickness, it's people who are disgusting..." Boss Tang said with a wry smile.
Before, Gao Wu almost scared him to the whole store. Today, Zhao Hao actually brought ten more ferocious men with naked upper body.
As soon as these people boarded the ship, Boss Tang and his group were so scared that their legs were trembling.
In addition, the boat was sailing on the Yangtze River, and Zhao Hao looked at the river without saying a word. The dozen or so fierce people stood quietly beside him, and the atmosphere became even more strange.
At this time, a guy said, "If the boat arrives in Jiangxin later, I won't ask if we want to eat Bandao noodles, or wonton noodles, right?"
It completely scared Boss Tang and his gang.
If Zhao Hao hadn't turned around in time and showed his signature warm smile, Tang Youde would have knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Oh, haha..." Zhao Hao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he looked at the big men with scars on his body and tendons.
His original intention was to find some fierce men to shock the ignorant Tang Youde. But unexpectedly, Caijia Lane was actually hidden and there were so many ferocious monsters living in Caijia Lane.
"I have all been on the battlefield and killed Japanese pirates." Yu Peng whispered from the side and asked for credit: "I don't need to have never seen blood."
"Brother Yu is doing things well." Zhao Hao touched his nose and whispered: "It's just a bit too much. Let them put on their clothes and scare them..."
"Ah, didn't Brother Gao say that the young master likes shirtless?" Yu Peng was stunned and waved his hand quickly, "Put your jacket quickly."
The fierce men quickly put the coats wrapped around their waists, vertical brown, and other things on their bodies, blocking the terrifying scars.
The air on the cargo ship finally started to flow again.
Tang Youde walked to Zhao Hao with a wry smile and said, "Young master is so powerful now."
"Boss Tang, don't think too much, it's not targeting you." Zhao Hao comforted with a fake smile: "Aren't you afraid of going to the countryside for the first time and being bullied?"
"Young Master just put your heart back in your stomach. Now when we are not in contact with you, we are the God of Wealth. Who dares to bully him?" Tang Youde laughed and said, "When we reach the ground, these heroes might as well stay and see the boat, so as not to cause panic among the villagers and affect the collection of silk."
"Uh, okay..." Zhao Haosu kept his word. Since he had listened to Tang Youde's words, he would not make any decisions. However, he still asked a little strangely: "Why do you have to go up the river? Can't you collect silk outside Nanjing?"
"Customize can be collected." When talking about business practices, Tang Youde said with a smile: "But first, the price of silk in the suburbs of Nanjing is 20% more expensive than that in other places. Secondly, this kind of hoarding is the first priority to secretly absorb goods, of course, the farther the better."
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded, and the person said, "The face is like a pig, and the heart is loud." It probably refers to people like Fatty Tang.
"Besides, we didn't go too far, we just went out 120 to 30 miles. It would be almost time to collect silk in Dangtu County." Tang Youde smiled again and said, "Although we were slower to go upstream, it was a good wind and we would arrive tomorrow morning."
"Oh..." Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he heard that he had to spend the night on the boat. He thought he would be able to get ashore on that day and live in the countryside.
The cargo ship slowly moved upstream under the combined action of sails and oars.
At noon, the boss of the boat got off the net at the stern. After going out a few miles, he dragged the net on the net. The fish hanging on the net were jumping around on the deck, and they had a lot of harvest.
Zhao Hao looked curious and looked over to see the boss picking the fish from the net. He saw that in addition to the common crucian carp and silver carp in the river, there was actually an anchovies about one foot.
This thing is difficult to find at a price four hundred years later, and it has been extinct for many years due to indiscriminate arrests.
He couldn't help but feel a little excited, and he only regretted that he could not show off to others. This young master actually saw a wild shad, and it was so big!
Looking at the chick's cheeks rosy, the boss of the boat said regretfully: "It's a pity that it's Erchao's 'cherry red'. Let's steam it for the two distinguished guests."
When Zhao Hao heard this, he swallowed his saliva in vain. He was on the boat without any trouble, so he stood beside the stern stove, stretched his neck, and watched the person deal with the shad without blinking.
Seeing that he had never seen the world before, Tang Youde couldn't help but say, "When the young master was in his house in the past, let alone the 'cherry red' of the two tides, it was a tribute from the top tide. I guess he could enjoy it every year."
"Uh, that's natural..." Zhao Hao coughed dryly and sighed in a concealed manner: "I'm... thinking of people when I see things. Thinking of my ancestors this year, I can't even eat this 'cherry red'..."
While talking, a luxurious three-story passenger ship went downstream. When the two ships intersected, the water splashed on the deck, almost ruining Zhao Hao's food.
"It's great if you have money?!"
Tang Youde looked at the big ship with anger. After seeing the "Wu Ji" flag flying on the ship, he couldn't help but swallow the conversation. Because the flat-topped cargo ship he hired was also from Wu Ji.
He changed his words again and said, "It's great to have money."
The top floor of the three-story ship is an elegantly decorated spacious cabin. In order to facilitate the owner to enjoy the river view, the people at the bottom removed the four-sided windows and let the warm river breeze pass by.
The mahogany floor is covered with large carpets embroidered with peonies, precious orchids, and a Boshan stove with swaying cigarettes.
Ye, the boss of Wu Ji, who is full of pearls and jade, is wearing a Su-embroidered large-collared short jacket at home, kneeling beside the sandalwood table, twisting two silver chopsticks in his hand, and is focusing on dealing with the plate of shad in front of him.
Although this shad was good, it had too many thorns. She carefully picked out the small and chaotic fish bones and placed them in the Dingyao small cup beside her.
After picking out all the fish bones, Ye's side presented the plate of sausage to Zhao Liben.
"Please use it, sir."
Zhao Liben wore a big black veil hat, a loose Yunjin Taoist robe, a green gem ring on his hands, and a huge topaz pendant like a cut goose egg hanging on his waist, dressed in a leisurely and leisurely rich man.
He pulled the anchovies on the plate a few times, ate only a few pieces of meat, then put down the chopsticks, took a sip of the "Yao Zixuequ" in the cup, sighed with a loss of appetite:
"So what about the tribute chamois, the tribute chamois, you will get tired of eating too much..."
