Chapter 307 There is a surprise at the seaside
The city of Kyoto is crazy about the lotus cushions, while the city of Hangzhou in the south is as peaceful and peaceful as ever.
In the early morning, it was hazy and hazy.
Under the dim light, the colors of the flowers and willows are not clearly visible.
The sound of temple bells and drums can be heard from a distance, and through the morning light, one can also see the calm lake surface glowing with white light.
The singing and dancing on the flower boat had stopped, replaced by the noisy sound of vendors selling goods.
“What’s the price of mutton today?” A fat old woman stopped in front of the mutton stall and picked at the mutton on the chopping board.
The meat stall hawker didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Forty-two cents per pound. How many pounds, Mrs. Chen? In such a cold season, a bowl of hot mutton soup is the best way to warm your body. !”
Aunt Chen frowned, somewhat reluctantly: “Last one. Isn’t it still only 40 cents per month? Why has the price increased?”
“A lot of sheep were killed last month, so it’s cheaper. I heard that Yueyue has already entered the shipyard. There are thousands of dollars, but you can’t lose yourself!”
Hearing the hawker praising her son, Mrs. Chen couldn't hold it down no matter how hard she said: "My son's salary will be increased next month! Xing Laosan saw that my son was hard-working and smart, so he asked my son to replace him. Let’s start. Try to get the first sea ship before the end of the year.”
The butcher stall hawker knows that this business is stable!
"It must be Aunt Chen who taught you well! Chen Dalang is now starting to work, and he will work for a year or two before accepting Xing Laosan as his master! This shipbuilding craft can be passed on to future generations!"< br>
Aunt Chen was so happy that she pointed to the middle of the chopping board. The big piece of mutton said: "Give me this piece! I have to replenish my son's health. He has been very busy these days in order to get the ship to sea as soon as possible."
At this time, the meat Several more customers came to the stall. After hearing what Mrs. Chen said, they curiously inquired.
"The shipyard built a sea-going ship so quickly?"
"What does it look like? Fishermen living on the beach said that they could hear thunder-like noises from time to time, and they all rumored that this sea-going ship was made of He is trained in thunder and lightning and is not afraid of wind and rain on the sea. Is this true?"
Aunt Chen rolled her eyes at the person who asked the question: "This is true. Is it possible to inquire into secrets at will?"
Seeing the stern expression on the man's face, Aunt Chen softened her tone: "It's not that I'm unkind, but Su Erlang is in charge. If he knows, we will If the news leaks out, the whole family will be in trouble!"
No one dared to say more about Su Erlang's name.
The butcher stall hawker lamented: "Back then, the Xu family in Hangzhou was also very famous. Every time he stamped his foot, the whole place in Hangzhou would tremble. Now, the head of the Xu family doesn't even know where he is."
Aunt Chen lowered her voice and said: "Who makes the Xu family so ignorant that they dare to have ulterior motives for the shipyard! They don't even think about it. They don't have a deep background." Hou, how dare you come here to open a shipyard?"
The person next to you came over and said, "Isn't the owner of this shipyard so capable? The backstage of the Xu family in Hangzhou is Taishi Tong!" br>
A circle of people had already gathered around Aunt Chen. It was related to the mysterious shipyard. Who didn’t want to hear more news?
When the shipyard was first built, the Xu family wanted to take over the shipyard with great fanfare, but Su Erlang and his men dealt with it.
I originally thought that the Xu family would ask Master Tong to help him marry and seize her by force, but they didn't expect that the matter would go silent and nothing would happen.
Aunt Chen corrected: "We should not call her Mrs. Yongchang Hou, but the General, or the Governor! I heard from people in Kyoto that she is still the River Goddess, and gods always send her gifts! Food, clothing, and supplies. They are all extraordinary."
Everyone suddenly realized: "No wonder Su Er. Lang is so confident!"
"Looking at Su Erlang's stern look, it's like the reincarnation of Erlang God."
"Oh, standing in front of him, my legs are broken. I'm shaking. If he looks at me, I'll faint on the spot!"
"How can it be as scary as you said? Su Erlang is extremely handsome. If I were more than ten years younger, I would definitely marry someone else!"
Su Erlang is a man of the hour in Hangzhou. She is pretty and dignified, and with just a raise of her hands and feet, the Xu family in Hangzhou can be wiped out. Everything about him is in the spotlight.
At this time, Su Yunting was inspecting the shipyard.
He had a straight face and a serious expression, followed closely by the old Taoist priest.
"Our gunpowder ratio is perfect, but the only problem now is the materials! As long as we find the right barrel material, I guarantee that the firearm will allow the general to sweep across the entire grassland!"
The old Taoist priest wiped his sweat and felt in his heart A little bit weak.
During this period, he spent money like water, but Su Erlang didn't say a word.
As a result, we still haven’t made a perfect firearm!
When the people in the shipyard saw Su Yunting coming, they all lowered their heads, and the movements in their hands became more detailed.
Su Yunting quickly came to an inconspicuous beach, and saw only a few seedlings there, stubbornly holding their heads high and taking root deeply in the beach.
“All the ears of wheat have been left?”
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Su Erlang was asking about the wild rice seedlings: “All of them have been left.”
Su Yunting nodded slightly: "Tomorrow you will set off to Yunzhou and take these wheat ears with you."
"Ah?!" The old Taoist priest was anxious, "What should I do with the firearms?"
Su Yunting's eyes became dark and deep. Yesterday, he received a letter from his eldest brother.
The letter said nothing else, only two sentences.
[We are all one family within the four seas]
[Golden mountains and silver mountains are not as good as green waters and green mountains]
Combined with the description of all things in Yunzhou in the little sister’s letter , Su Yunting soon knew what A Niang wanted to do!
Su Yunting touched the sword on his waist. His whole body felt like a sword was unsheathed. The old Taoist priest shivered with cold.
Su Yunting: "Bring all the firearms with you, and these wheat ears, and be sure to hand them over to my mother-in-law! Pu Chang of the Mo family is in Fuming Town. You and he discuss the making of firearms. ”
Su Yunting faced the sea, his eyes full of He was determined to win: "After the New Year, I will go south with the sea ship. You set off now. Maybe you can still have time to spend the New Year in Yunzhou."
The old Taoist priest saw that Su Erlang had given up his heart, so he If he dares to waste time, he immediately calls on his young apprentice to pack his bags.
After the old Taoist priest left, Xing Laosan came over and said: "The yield of this small seedling is not high. The locals are too rare to grow it. Why does Su Lang value it so much?"
In fact, these small seedlings have existed for a long time. They do not grow in patches. Instead, they have a little bit in this corner and a little bit in that nook.
After Su Yunting discovered this, he immediately sent people to take care of all the small seedlings nearby until the rice seedlings matured, then carefully harvested them.
Xing Laosan and the locals were all puzzled by this.
Su Yunting: "When oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges; when they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges. Whether it is useful or not depends on where it grows."
