Chapter 103: There is a cloud platform at sea
"The mountains are on the lush Cangwu Sea, and the abbot of Penglai is invincible. I have heard that plants and trees are all immortal medicines, so I want to stay with my wife and my wife forever..."
When Wu Haogu was riding a passenger boat on the pier of Suchenggang, Yuzhou Island, Wu Haogu, who was standing on the deck with Pan Qiaolian, suddenly became poetic and chanted the first four sentences of Su Dongpo's "Second Rhymes Chen Haizhou Shuhuai" loudly, and also improvised and made some minor changes.
Su Dongpo's original sentence was "I want to abandon my wife and keep the city", which means that even if I abandon my wife and children to go there (the fairy mountain on the sea) to guard the gate. However, Wu Haogu changed it to "I want to stay with my wife and keep forever", indicating that I am willing to live in seclusion with Pan Qiaolian here.
Pan Qiaolian seemed to be touched by the fairy island in front of her and Wu Haogu's poems. Her beautiful eyes stared at her sweetheart with affection and said softly: "Brother Dawu, you won't be like Master Su, you are just talking big and making people happy, right?"
She said this because there are four lines at the end of Su Dongpo's poem, "I sigh before my elegant ambitions are empty, but my old friends are like faces. I wake up from drinking but remember the children's affairs, and I will never climb the ducks."
The general idea is to go to Xianshan to see the gate, all of which are just for the sake of face and nonsense.
"Eighteen," Wu Haogu looked at Pan Qiaolian, who was still charming and charming in men's clothes, and smiled and said, "Why would we choose a beautiful place to buy it when we visited Yuntai this time, and how about building a manor there in the future as a seclusion?"
"Yes." Pan Qiaolian focused heavily, but after nodding, she felt that it was inappropriate. There were still a lot of people watching behind her and Wu Haogu!
Moreover, they have no status at the moment, so why are they living in seclusion in Xianshan together?
"Brother Dawu, you coax me again." Pan Qiaolian's ears were so embarrassed that she stomped her feet hard, and then she walked along the springboard on the bow deck of the ship like a gust of wind to the dock of Suchenggang.
Sucheng Port is right next to Sucheng Town, and Sucheng Town is the county seat of Donghai County. It is located on the southwest corner of Yuzhou Island. It is surrounded by lush Yuntai Mountain on both sides, which is actually a bay that has accumulated into land.
However, this land has been formed for a few years, because in the Han Dynasty, it was a prosperous town and port. Therefore, Sucheng is also an ancient city. The city we see in Wuhaogu was built in the Tang Dynasty and has become a bit broken. Moreover, because the city is too small to accommodate residents and merchants living here, it has long become a large market outside the city, with shopping malls and wine shops everywhere, and many inns opened.
Because Sucheng Port is the main port to enter and exit Yuzhou Island, and it is also the source of wealth for all inns here in Sucheng. In order to grab business, the informed waiters of each inn were staring at the dock. When they saw a large passenger boat approaching, everyone's eyes shone and flocked to it.
Seven or eight waiters rushed to Pan Qiaolian, who was the first to get off the boat, and tried his best to recommend his own benefits. Wu Haogu looked at the bow of the boat and felt familiar. At the entrance of the train station and bus station in later generations, the salesmen of the small hotel were soliciting customers. However, these waiters of the Song Dynasty were gentle and respectful. Although they were talking about their own benefits, they did not slander other families, and they would not reach out to pull them up in the next life.
In addition, Wu Haogu, who had lived in the Song Dynasty for a long time, also knew that the introductions of these waiters were basically credible.
In all walks of life in the Song Dynasty, except for the calligraphy and painting, other industries were generally honest.
Wu Haogu couldn't help but sigh again. Today's era is a peak of Chinese civilization! Unfortunately, the peak of this civilization cannot withstand the impact of the barbaric Hu cavalry. Since the Jingkang year, Tianqing has really destroyed the Qinghua of many ethnic groups?
It makes sense that there is no Huaxia after the fall of the Song Dynasty. At least the revived Huaxia has lost too much...
Wu Haogu was a little lost in his heart until the sound of Hua Manshan sounded in his ears before he came to his senses.
"Dongweng, there is a famous Xiankeju here. The three words on the signboard are also written by Mr. Dongpo. The best Xiankeju is fish sashimi, which are cut from the ready-made yellow croaker caught in the sea. They are shining through the light and melt at the entrance.
In addition, the river snails in Cymbidium are also awesome. The cooked food is extremely delicious. You will never forget it after eating it. And you will guarantee that you will not die."
The so-called fish sashimi is sashimi, which is a traditional Chinese delicacy and was very popular during the Tang and Song dynasties.
However, there is no Norwegian salmon at the moment. In theory, bluefin tuna is very rare. Therefore, the "big yellow croaker sashimi" is the most common fish sashimi in coastal areas. The squid is a puffer fish. Needless to say, it is delicious, it is easy to eat people... So Wu Haogu
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Since the Xianke Residence is the best, I will go to the Xianke Residence today. I will have a great time to eat fish sashimi and river sap!"
The waiter of the Zhike Residence, who was twenty-four or five years old, suddenly smiled and bowed to his companions around him, then shouted: "Xianke Residence, welcoming guests!" Then he made a gesture of soothing and pointed to a three-story restaurant near the pier.
Wu Haogu also got off the boat and walked towards the restaurant with Pan Qiaolian. Behind them, Ximen Qing and others also got off the boat one by one and headed towards the restaurant.
This restaurant is built on the water. It looks like three floors high, but in fact it is only two floors above and below. There is a raised stone foundation at the bottom, which is obviously used to prevent the tide.
"Woman, is the building of Xiankeju so high? Is it for waterproofing?" Wu Haogu asked the waiter who was greeting in front when he went upstairs.
"It's not all for waterproofing," Xiaoer said, "It's built higher, so you can see the scenery. Isn't it all for viewing the scenery when I come to Yuntai Fairy Island?"
"That's right," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "then we have to choose a private room with excellent views... Is there?"
"Yes, yes." Xiaoer said, "but there is a threshold for such a private room. If the wine and food orders are less than ten pieces..."
"How come it's not enough?" Wu Haogu smiled, "There are so many people here, and they have a good appetite. Just serve good wine and good food."
The farmland here in Haizhou is only a few crores per mu, and ten crores can be worth two or three crores of land! This consumption limit is quite low.
However, for Kaifeng calligraphy and painting merchants like Wu Haogu, ten or eight pieces of silk are not considered money at all. Not to mention the present, even before Wu Haogu became famous, the price of asking him to give calligraphy and painting works would be ten or eight pieces of silk at a time, and this would not be available to Kaifeng Prefecture City.
If you go out to see the city, you have to pay more according to the distance. The other party will take all the carriages and horses on the way.
Therefore, Wu Haogu was a person who was used to being big-handed in this life, and he was a person with ten or eight pieces of silk, which was really no problem.
"By the way, do you have any horns here?" As soon as Wu Haogu said this, Pan Qiaolian, dressed in a man's clothing beside him, immediately stared at him with big eyes.
Wu Haogu quickly explained: "Eighteen, we don't need a gang to accompany us, but today there are many friends..."
The waiter who was leading the way in front looked back at the two behind him and smiled immediately: "If you like **, there are also some in Sucheng Town, and you can arrange a small shop immediately."
"No, no," Wu Haogu shook his head repeatedly, "You can lead the way quickly."
"Okay, OK."
In a blink of an eye, the waiter had already led Wu Haogu and others to the second floor of the restaurant. The restaurant was very large, with more than a dozen private rooms on the second floor alone, all around the window. In the middle was a big hall with a large cabinet and three wine cabinets, forming a square, with a paper and pen in charge, and a beard who was a hot wine. He was a woman in her thirties, with a plump waist and a blond hair, obviously from European race, and somebody came from the Song Dynasty. However, the face of this blonde woman was far inferior to that of Madam Mo, with loose skin and no luster.
Like Madam Mo, this woman was dressed as a Song Dynasty man. When she saw the visitor, she hurriedly greeted her and spoke in authentic Song-style Chinese language.
