Xiao Han, Xiaodong and others have always been careless, although they have heard of some famous names about the car and boat shop, and they should be killed even if they are not guilty.
But whether in Guanzhong, Hanzhong, or Yangzhou, where would a blind thief offend them?
So they didn't care about these at all, and they didn't think deeply about it. They had to board the ship as soon as they were greeted by others.
"etc!"
Just when Jiayi at the front had jumped onto the plank and stepped into the big ship with one foot.
Wang Wu, who had changed his clothes, hurriedly came from behind. When he saw Lao Lin standing on the bow of the boat, his eyes immediately rolled around and he said loudly: "Hey, boatman! No, how do you pay for the ferry?"
You haven’t said it yet? Are you thinking of Jiang Center and then quote a sky-high price? This will put us in a dilemma?"
"Oh, you think too much about this guest!"
When Old Lin heard this, he immediately cried out that he was wronged. He patted his chest and said, "If you don't believe me, go and find out. Others don't dare to say. My old Lin family has been ferrying here for hundreds of years.
I’ve never done anything like this before!”
"Tch, where should I go to inquire at this time?!" Wang Wu grinned and pushed away the idiot standing in front of him, intending to go forward and have a good argument with him.
To be honest, as a veteran who has been around Yangzhou for many years, he knows Lao Lin and has been on his boat, so he naturally knows that Lao Lin's boat is reliable!
But the problem is, I am not traveling alone this time, but with Xiao Han as a guide!
In front of the boss, if you have a chance to perform, then you have to perform! If you really don’t have a chance to perform, then you have to find an opportunity to perform!
Otherwise, how can you show your usefulness and make the boss remember you if you are just like a passerby?
Therefore, Wang Wu simply showed his appearance when he was a gangster, and walked to the boat step by step. Xiao Han was afraid that he would accidentally wander into the water again.
"Old man, it's not that we don't believe you! It's true that our young master has a delicate body. If you do something bad, we won't worry about it. But if you startle my young master, it will be a big sin! So if you have anything to do, please tell me in advance.
It’s better to go down!”
Seeing Wang Wu's behavior, the smile on Lao Lin's face immediately became a little forced.
If Wang Wu was alone today, he might turn around and leave. Want to go to the river? Swim across it!
But now that there were so many people in front of him, including carts and horses, Lao Lin didn't want to let go of this big business, so he suppressed his unhappiness, waved his hand generously and said: "Since the guests are afraid that I will cheat you, let's make it clear first.
Okay! Seeing that the queue of guests is quite big, this boat will take two trips to complete. How about this? It costs two dollars in total. Is this a fair price?"
"What? Two strings? Old man, your price is not low!"
At this time, Wang Wu had regained the feeling he had when he was a gangster. Hearing this, his bull's-eye eyes widened. Just as he was about to roll up his sleeves and bargain with him, he heard a pleasant female voice faintly sounding from behind.
"Haha, the money for two ships is not high! Now during the Chinese New Year, it is not easy for my husband to still be traveling around! This is the money for three ships. If there is more, just treat it as my hard-earned money."
"ah……"
Wang Wu, who was originally careless and ready to show off his saving skills in front of Xiao Han, heard this voice and poured a basin of water on the candle, instantly becoming mute!
When he was called here in the morning, he knew that there was a female dependent in the jade car in the team, and she was also the only female dependent Xiao Han brought with him on this trip.
Although I don't know her specific identity, and it's hard to inquire about other girls' affairs, but the one who can be taken by the Marquis is... the boss's wife?
Thinking of this, Wang Wuqiang resisted the urge to look back at "Mr. Hou's woman" and quickly lowered his head and shut up.
"Here, my family pays for it in front of the boat!" After Zi Yi finished speaking, a servant walked over to Wang Wu with three guan of money and handed it to Lao Lin.
Lao Lin was originally quite unhappy with Wang Wu, and even had some prejudice against this team.
But now when I saw his behavior and even gave Gui Gui an extra reward, my unhappiness disappeared long ago and I quickly refused to the servant who came over with the money:
"Oh, how did this work?! Two dollars is enough, not so much."
The two people declined again in front of the boat. Wang Wu looked around carefully. When he saw an impatient look on Xiao Han's face, he immediately had an idea and put his hands on his hips and shouted:
"Hey, old man! Just take it if you are told to do so. After all this nonsense, my young master is still waiting to cross the river! Oops..."
However, I don’t know if Wang Wu had a bad day today. He obviously acted based on Xiao Han’s face, but as soon as he finished saying this, he hit Xiao Han again on the head.
"You, speak politely to the elderly!" Xiao Han scolded while rubbing his wrist!
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Wu was knocked. Although it didn't hurt, he still showed his teeth and cracked his mouth, and bowed to Lao Lin repeatedly: "Old man, please hurry up?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Even Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh out loud. Only Xiaodong and Lengzi behind them stared at Wang Wu indignantly!
Originally, it was their job to show off and make Xiao Han happy! But now, Wang Wu jumped out and stole their limelight! No wonder today, they all looked at Wang Wu with his nose instead of his nose and his eyes instead of his eyes.
But no matter what, after a little incident, Xiao Han and others got on the boat safely.
Lao Lin's big boat is said to be a big boat only compared to other ferries.
Needless to say, the five-toothed ship on the Yangtze River was not even comparable to the ship Xiao Han took when he came to Yangzhou!
So much so that the team had to be divided into two batches in order to pull out all the people.
After getting off the cable, the ferry swayed slightly and left the dock with the water waves.
On the boat, Lao Lin steered the ship, while his two sons turned the sails according to the wind direction from time to time, and their cooperation was quite skillful.
Xiao Han, Xiaodong and Jiayi were the first group to cross the river.
Several people got on the boat and sat under the simple shed for a while. After getting used to the rocking of the ferry, Xiao Han, who couldn't sit still, stood up and started walking on the boat.
There was only such a big space on the ship. After a short while, Xiao Han turned to Lao Lin. Seeing how interesting he was at steering, he stopped and started chatting with him.
It seems that all drivers are talkative, and the old Lin in front of Xiao Han is no exception.
After chatting for a while, he heard that Xiao Han was going to the south to do business. Lao Lin habitually asked him what kind of business he was doing and why he set off so early.
Of course, Xiao Han couldn't tell Lao Lin that he was going to Chang'an to buy grain for disaster relief, so he just vaguely said that Chang'an encountered a disaster last year and grain prices soared.
So he was planning to go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy a batch of grain, and take advantage of the lean season in spring to transport it to Chang'an to sell it and earn more money for his family.
