Chapter 107: The mouth-watering beauty and deliciousness
Three fast boats slowly leaned on the shore in the eyes of the crowd. The rope on the pulley was thrown to the boat. After a while, a long wooden box three meters long and eighty-centimeter-wide was hung on the deck and hung to the shore without stopping. When it landed on the shore, all the idle people watching cheered, and then six thick men walked forward and raised the box with a bar.
As the singing and dancing sounded, Dong Xiaoliang hurriedly said hello and ran downstairs to meet his cargo. After everyone's attention was directed to the three cargo ships loaded with seafood, the two loach ships quietly and inconspicuously leaned against the dock. A cloaked literati took a horse off the boat, looked around, and saw Zhao Xing standing at the window of the teahouse. He greeted each other. The literati bowed his head and led his horse into the teahouse.
The loach boat is a type of wheeled ship from the Song Dynasty. The "Water Margin" records that Gao Qiu used this ship to fight the Liangshanbo naval army. However, the loach boat was not popular in the Song Dynasty. The reason may be that the bearing technology was not up to standard, making the paddles of this ship not durable, and repairing and replacing them.
In theory, the lined stone bridges in Bianliang City are the most suitable for this kind of boat to pass through, but at this time, there are few loach boats in the river. However, this technology shines brightly in Zhao Xing's hands. He is rich, but there is nothing to lack of copper. The oars of the two loach boats were replaced by him with bronze products, which allows it to withstand long-distance travel and not easily rust. These two boats transported him personal belongings from Renhe County, Hangzhou, the starting point of the Bianliang Canal, the Jiangnan River, and brought him follow-up personnel.
The middle-aged literati Chen Qing, who was leading the horse, knew it as Su Shi's former aide Ma Mengde, who is now Zhao Xing's "main control".
After three years of separation, the broken literati obviously said goodbye to the shabby forever. He was wearing a pair of shiny black leather boots, a brocade robe, a large jadeite on his waist, and a large jadeite ring on his hands. The weather was a bit cold, and the outer cover was covered with plain white brocade, a large cloak inside the sable, and the hat was made of white fox fur, and two rubies were inlaid on it, which looked like two rabbit eyes.
The goods were still unloading on the dock. The two people transported from Zhao Xing came forward to salute him one by one. Not only Cheng Xia, Cheng Shuang, Cheng Wang, but also Cheng Zhuo came. They saluted Zhao Xing one by one, and then were led by Chen Gongchuan to Zhao Xing's new home. The thirty servants recommended by the tooth were responsible for carrying the luggage for them.
After everyone dispersed, Ma Mengde first handed Zhao Xing a wooden box and replied with relief: "Fortunately, Dongweng, everything has been done, everything is here."
Zhao Xing pushed open the lid of the box, and inside the box, a ruby ring pressed on a stack of paper. The gem was very big, but the color was dark red, and it was not very conspicuous. Zhao Xing first took out the ruby ring and put it on his finger, then looked at the ring face, gently unscrewed the gem, revealing the square seal under the gem.
Zhao Xing relied on this seal to deal with all industries. Ma Mengde took this seal to deal with trivial matters for him, and now the seal was back in his hands.
The few pieces of paper in the box are several copies of the document, the first was Su Mai's receipt. He had just received the settlement fee sent by Zhao Xing. In name, the money was used as a birth gift for his second son.
Zhao Xing carefully checked Su Mai's signature, and Ma Mengde added next to him: "Brother Boda (Su Mai) asked me to ask you... He was embarrassed to mention it again, but there was no one to ask for it, so he spoke to you."
"oh?"
"As a county magistrate, Boda caught thieves everywhere in the county town. The place was full of mountain roads, and it was all about trekking with two legs. It was really a bit unbearable. But now even if you have money, you can't buy a horse, so he wanted to ask you to think of a way to buy a few good horses for him... Now, Cheng Zhuo has been sent out by him, and he hopes that Cheng Zhuo can take the horse back."
Zhao Xing looked at the receipt signed by Su Mai, sighed, gently tearing it in half, then folded it again, turning it into four and a half... and finally turned into a pile of fragments.
"Since that's the case, let's lead him a pair of Mu Oma. Well, I'll find two horse boys for him from Japan and send them together... Don't let Su Weng know about this," Zhao Xing said slowly.
"Ha", Ma Meng laughed dryly: "When it comes to Japanese people, I have another thing to tell you. There are twenty Japanese girls sitting on the boat behind us, and there are more than forty people in Hangzhou, all of which were sent by the guy Busi of Nagato. I heard that he would send two Kanto samurai. I heard that these two identities are noble, so I have to arrange them in advance. He asked me to notify you."
Zhao Xing frowned. He had been to Japan and knew the customs of Japan. Those women came to "swallow the seeds" - modern times call this word "borrow seeds".
In the Song Dynasty, the Japanese had a custom, that whenever the Song ship arrived in Japan, the Japanese chose the most beautiful Japanese girls who could sing and dance to send them on the boat, asking the Song people to have a spring breeze. When the Song ship returned to China, many Japanese girls also asked to follow them all the way, for nothing else, just to be able to serve the Song people.
After they got along with the Song people and became pregnant, these pregnant Japanese girls were treated as treasures by the Japanese in the Song Dynasty and sent them back to their homes with fast boats. This was the national policy of the Japanese at that time, with the purpose of giving birth to descendants of the Song people to improve the race for Japan.
When such a Japanese girl gets married, her parents will proudly proclaim: "Which Song man has my daughter lived with? The children in her belly come from the Heavenly Kingdom and are the seeds of the Song man." Their parents also regard their daughters living with the Song man as the most times, and their favorite thing to show off is: "My daughter has lived with Song man XX, XX, XXX... in the same bed."
This history was not only recorded by the Japanese, but also recorded by the Song people's Qingbo Magazine: "The Japanese country drifted on the territory of the Song Dynasty, with three or twenty people in a row. All women were sent out. When they met people from Zhongzhou (China), they chose the beautiful ones to recommend their sleeping rooms, which was called "Du Zong".
The entire history of the Song Dynasty is the most satisfying history of Chinese perverts, because at that time, not only did the Japanese have the custom of "substituting species", but all the countries in Southeast Asia have similar customs, especially Vietnam, which is even more popular than Japan. Therefore, perverts living in the Song Dynasty were happy. They went to Southeast Asian countries to find one-night stands, not only did they not spend a single money, but they could earn a lot of extra money, because the Song people were willing to favor it, which was a reward for the foreign girls and had to be rewarded with gifts...
Then, what will the fate of the children born to these "specialized" women? Basically, before the women gave birth to children, the local daming (feudal lord) would marry these pregnant women home. They made a reservation! If a boy is given birth to a boy, he will be appointed as the family heirs; if a girl is given birth to a girl, she will be snatched by the princes to be hired as the next Daming official’s wife.
The ancient Japanese called the nobles "Chinese people" for no reason.
By the time the Mongols invaded Japan, the Japanese had actually completed a major blood change. The feudal lords in office at that time were basically descendants of the Song people, so they had a deep hatred for the Mongols who destroyed the Song Dynasty... Oh, this hatred was cursed by ff, so it was no longer a problem.
Zhao Xing knew the purpose of these Japanese women. He was not worried that he could not control himself by temptation, but because of Qin Guan. This guy was just a romantic ghost. When those Japanese women threw themselves into their arms, Qin Guan didn't let him go, and sprinkled his romantic seeds all over Japan... Wait, why are even Japanese men and Kanto warriors coming to join in the fun? What kind of world is it?
Is it glass?
Zhao Xing was still thinking there, with many doubts. Ma Mengde obviously had benefited. He reminded complacently: "Dongweng, everyone comes to kabuki. You can play and sing 'Tangle' without training. Everyone has twisted their waists..."
The Japanese also had a custom at that time, and the girls' parents regarded the favor of the Song people as supreme glory - of course, this was also a way for them to change their destiny. Because once their daughter became pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Song people, they could live in the ranks of quasi-noble without any struggle. In a few years of development, they would become a small noble. Therefore, the rejection of the Song people was a great insult to them, and some fathers even wanted to commit suicide to eliminate this influence.
In order to get the one-night fun of the Song people, those parents trained their daughters since childhood... So, these women are all skilled kabuki, and they are free labor. If you reject them, it is an insult to them.
Of course Zhao Xing knew this, and he didn't need Ma Mengde to remind him. But what he was worried about was that these women would destroy the inner house when they entered the inner house.
"Okay... please remind me," Zhao Xing frowned and said, "Tell them that they immediately came into contact with the upper class of the Song Dynasty, and even the prime ministers of the Celestial Empire. Although the servants in the courtyard were majestic, they were all ordinary people. If they dared to cast their eyes casually, don't blame me for being ruthless under the knife."
Ma Meng was a little embarrassed, and he smiled awkwardly: "Dongweng should make some rules. These Japanese girls are the most obedient people. As long as they tell them what they can do and what they cannot do, they should notify their parents if there is any violation. They will not dare to do anything randomly."
A horn on the dock interrupted the two of them's whispers. At this time, Dong Xiaoliang's goods began to ship. Zhao Xing turned his face and looked at Ma Mengde and asked, "Let's chase and take a look?"
Ma Mengde quickly changed the topic: "I just want to see the style of the capital."
Ma Mengde brought four horses, all of which were majestic Muao stallions. Zhao Xing rode a chestnut stallion. Ma Mengde wore a white cloak, but he rode a black horse. The black horse was a bit like the legendary one. Qingci, the Warring States general, rode "black clouds" the day before yesterday. Ma Mengde rode so brightly black and white on the horse to enjoy the attention of others. Zhao Xing rode a chestnut horse in a low-key manner, Cheng Xia and Cheng Shuang rode white horses with each other, and the red horse tail came to the front of Hele Tower with the entire queue.
It was a few days before the imperial examination, and the students were preparing for the exam, so there were not many "fresh candidates" on the street, and they were basically idle people from Tokyo Bianliang City.
The rich guys who are capable of booking banquets in Hele Building are not just those who are exhausted, and those rich bosses have set up this banquet, and they are not without their own concerns.
When the imperial examinations were issued, "catching son-in-law under the list" or "couple a man" was a unique custom in the Song Dynasty. Whenever the list was issued, there were more stewards in each government than juren under the list. They asked around which juren were unmarried, and then followed the juren to observe the other party's reaction after the juren was issued. Once the juren passed the juren, the stewards would quickly take out ropes from their arms like magic, tie up the new juren, and run into the house to get married with their own ladies.
Several prime ministers in the Song Dynasty were admitted to the Jinshi, which triggered a street fight. Several housekeepers and servants in the mansion took great action to compete for them. This also became a scene in Tokyo Bianliang City... After many years, the people in Bianliang City still talked about it with relish that their vision was not bad at all. Look, that person later became the prime minister?!
In other words, the rich men who booked a banquet at Helelou were actually booking a "wedding banquet". Dong Xiaoliang knew this very well, so he deliberately postponed the official opening date to the night of the listing... As a result, his restaurant became increasingly difficult to find.
Zhao Xing and Ma Ma quickly. When he arrived in front of Hele Building, six strong men landed the wooden box. The two "roadshow" teams he followed began to perform in front of the restaurant. In the midst of expectations, the six strong men pried open the wooden box, pulled open the ice floes on the surface of the wooden box, and took out a frozen seal to show it to everyone.
The crowd was filled with stuttering sounds. Suddenly, a crowd was surging. Several Japanese merchants came to the front of the building with local merchants, shouting that they would book seats. Dong Xiaoliang smiled hypocritically and refused the reservations of several Japanese. The local merchants translated the speeches of Japanese to the audience like "sent" and praised the Japanese for their experience of eating seal meat, the deliciousness of seal meat and the use of seal fur.
"It's past, it's past," Zhao Xing muttered, "It's even worse than it is!"
Seals were carried into restaurants, and then there were feudal dishes. This time, several boxes of cucumbers transported from the south by a fast ship (native to India, brought to my country when Zhang Qian returned from the Western Han Dynasty), eggplant (native to Southeast Asia, introduced to my country about the Jin Dynasty) and other vegetables. In addition, fresh items were carrots and onions known as the Three Treasures of Sailors.
Carrots were native to western Asia and were introduced from Iran to the European continent in the 10th century. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, carrots were introduced to our country with the defeat of the Mongolian army in the west. Zhao Xing went to sea this time and brought carrots back to China from Arabia.
After vigorously introducing the "carrots", the onions (Iran has a cultivation history of 5,000 years and was introduced to my country in the late Qing Dynasty), pumpkins (native to Africa)... These vegetables were carried into the restaurant like running water, making people full of expectations for this banquet.
Then there were a few sealed boxes. The guys didn't open these boxes and walked in with their heads covering their heads. The idle people in Tokyo were reluctant to see it and shouted at the top of their voices: "Dong Xiaoyuanwai, don't you say it's a big banquet of 'Dragon, tiger and leopard' in the sea? We have seen the 'seal', where is the tiger? Where is the dragon?"
There are other helpers who fan the flames: "Open the box, Dong Xiaoyuanwai, why don't you open these boxes? Open this box and let's see what rare things are inside?"
Dong Xiaoliang's face was sweating, and hesitating with his left and right blocking. Several gangsters held down the man carrying the box, pried open the box without saying a word, and opened the ice layer covered with the surface of the box.
There was a sound of air conditioning in the field.
In the middle of the box, under the ice layer, an extra-long moray eel coiled and curled in the box. Under its body, several layers of long and short moray eels were densely covered with.
A voice muttered to himself: "Eight feet are the dragon... Nine feet are...!? This should be the 'little dragon'!"
The voice was very light, but in an absolute silence, it was as loud as a bolt from the blue.
After being silent for a long time, someone whispered: "Can the dragon eat it... it's a long time... it's a thundering blow!"
