On the couch, Qian Duo clutched the brocade quilt and hugged him, huddled in the corner away from Zhao Mengqi like a quail.
Zhao Mengqi tilted his lips and smiled maliciously, "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
"You, you... don't come here!" Qian Duo stuttered, shivering, and squeezed her delicate body tighter.
This kind of pitiful weakling rarely appeared on Qian Duo. Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but find it interesting. He pretended to look at her seriously for a while. When Qian Duo almost suffocated, he smiled disgustedly and said, "Just let it go." A hundred hearts, I haven’t reached the point where I’m hungry yet, look at you, your face is covered with putty, and you look like a cat with a painted face, who can eat it..."
"What do you mean!" Chan Duo was furious for no reason and felt extremely insulted.
This girl is a firecracker, she will explode at the slightest moment.
Zhao Mengqi was just teasing her and had no real intention to bully her, so it was natural to stop. "Okay, don't do anything scheming in the future. You are not this material. If I am really angry with you, I will teach you a lesson on the spot." It's useless for you to do all this, but it makes that stupid girl Jian Niang really worried about you."
After saying that, he stood up and went out, leaving Qian Duo alone for a long time.
"He's not angry with me?"
"Then I was hungry for two days in vain?"
"Ugh...I will never trust Zhao Fei again...anyone named Zhao is not a good person."
In the afternoon, the official ship entered Wujiang County. After passing Pingwang Town, it was already evening. It was raining lightly and the visibility was too low to sail at night, so it sailed into the lagoon next to the canal and anchored for the night.
The waterway "Diotang" from Anjizhou merges into the Jiangnan Canal at Pingwang Town. It is considered a small hub, so many ships come to anchor in this lagoon.
The locals were driving small sampans, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables, wine and food, and hawking them on the lake. Zhao Mengqi's boat was an official ship, which meant rich people. So soon after putting down the anchor, there were more than a dozen people. A small boat surrounded him.
"My lord, please drink a pot of the finest Pingjiang clear dew to relieve your fatigue."
"The little one here has the Taihu whitebait and white shrimp that were just caught today. They are of good quality and very cheap. They only cost five cents a pound."
"Here are the anchovies! There is still a peach blossom atmosphere here, and the flavor here is better than that of the sea bass. The Yangtze River anchovies at this time are the most plump. Once they are steamed in a basket, Mr. Dongpo will not be able to sit still."
The people of Song Dynasty are indeed elegant. Look at this trafficker and lackey who can recite a few lines of poetry and use it to advertise himself.
This person shouted, and immediately there were those who were not convinced, "Guanren, Guanren, I have the most authentic Songjiang seabass here. The thought of water shield seabass is talking about this seabass. It is made into fish meat. It is extremely delicious. Give me one." The prime minister has not changed, and today the price is only five cents per catty!"
"Physalis, cooked cakes, soy sauce meat, and salted vegetables are the most practical if they can satisfy your stomach..."
"Storax wine can regulate the five internal organs and dispel all diseases in the abdomen. Officials all like to drink it. Please bring some."
"Dingsheng cake, rice-haired meatballs, pickled fish, smoked fish, the craftsmanship of the slave family is no worse than that of Lin'an City..."
Zhao Mengqi stood on the side of the ship and watched these hawking activities. He found it very interesting. When he took the train in later generations, especially when he stopped for meals, he also encountered many vendors hawking local specialties.
The most impressive time for him was when he was traveling from Shandong. He couldn't resist the enthusiastic shouts and alluring aroma. He spent fifty yuan to buy two Texas braised chickens. As a result, he was so painful after taking one bite. I deeply doubt that there is half a pound of salt in a pound of meat.
Since then, he has never bought bulk cooked food on the road, no matter how delicious and delicious it seems, but now he does not stop everyone from buying it.
The side of the official ship is higher. When buying and selling, after the negotiation is completed, a basket is hung down, with money in it, and the goods are lifted up.
Although there are ingredients on board, it is also necessary to replenish some fresh food, especially wine. People who run on the boat like to take a few sips to relieve fatigue and dehumidify.
In addition, good things like Yangtze River shad would be hard to eat in the wild no matter how rich you are in later generations. At this time, if you were not on the Yangtze River, only the rich and powerful could afford it. Now it only costs five cents a pound, so Zhao Mengqi couldn't help but be tempted and bought a lot.
On a black-painted merchant ship not far away, several people were hiding behind the portholes. Seeing the hanging basket here constantly moving up and down, they couldn't help showing pride on their faces.
It was noisy for a while, and after confirming that there was nothing more to buy on the official ship, most of these traders rowed their oars to find the next customer with a satisfied smile.
With so many top-quality ingredients, even though there was no royal chef, Imperial Physician Chong actually had amazing cooking skills, which made everyone feast and praise him repeatedly.
But what Zhao Mengqi was most satisfied with was the drunken shrimp he made with his own hands using Taihu white shrimp. This delicacy was one that he liked very much but did not dare to try easily in the future when pollution was becoming increasingly serious.
Eating fish and shrimp raw was still very popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. You can never get tired of fine food and fine meat. The meat here is sashimi, and it is basically indispensable in most banquets at this time.
After the meal, everyone had some activities to eat for a while. At the time of Haishi, they all went to rest. The lights in the cabin were extinguished one by one, leaving only four dead wind lanterns at the bow and stern of the ship, which swayed with the breeze on the lake and emitted a dim sound. Light.
After midnight, the night rain gradually became heavier. The raindrops hit the lake surface and the hull of the boat. The two sounds mixed together were like hypnotic music, making people sleep particularly sweetly.
Most of the boats moored in the lake didn't even light their wind lanterns, and were completely in darkness. The official ship Zhao Mengqi was the morning star in the night sky.
However, in the bottom cabin of the black merchant ship, the lights were brightly lit. There were more than a dozen people in the cabin, all staring, waiting for something.
"Probably, it's time to straighten out your ugliness, right?" Ding Zhigao muttered, looking very nervous.
Jiang Manhai, however, was an old man, calmly sipping his wine, "The night is long, there is no need to rush. When the rain gets heavier and people sleep harder, it will be more stable."
"King of heaven, does the Mongolian sweat medicine really work?" Ding Shouweng was also worried about gains and losses.
"Hehehe, it works very well. I have used it many times. It works every time and never fails. Even afterward, few people find anything unusual..."
Jiang Manhai, who is as lustful as his soul, will find ways to pick flowers if he finds out that some people have beautiful wives and daughters, as long as they are not in a deep house.
No one noticed anything unusual? Could it be that it's too small? Otherwise, even if you are bitten by a mosquito, you will still notice it when you wake up.
Ding Shouweng cursed, but asked, "Shall we build the boat first later?"
Jiang Manhai shook his head, "No, the boat is making too much noise at night. If we board the boat and are discovered, it won't be too late to dig in again."
At this time, a muscular man who was completely soaked and wearing only a pair of sinus pants stepped out of the cabin with his bare feet.
"Brother, I checked carefully. There was no big movement in the official ship. They must all be asleep. This is the perfect opportunity to take action."
Jiang Manhai was very satisfied, "Okay, well done. When it's done, Zhou Lan, you should be credited with the first credit! Pass the order and ask the little ones to move. Remember, the movement should be quiet. If anyone makes a mistake, don't worry." I blame you for feeding him to fish!"
More than a quarter of an hour later, more than forty small sampans emerged from the corners around the lagoon. The four wind lanterns on the official boats guided them as they gathered quietly in the rain.
