At a position near the window, Geert and Pablo were feasting at the moment, and couldn't help shouting while eating.
“Delicious~ delicious, so delicious~”
“This Daming cuisine is so delicious~”
Geert and Pablo were like gluttons. They had never eaten any delicious food in their lives. The dishes on exquisite plates were so delicious, but the portions were too small. The two of them ate them in a few seconds.
Finished a dish.
"Haha, eat slowly, eat slowly, we are here in the Ming Dynasty, we will keep this delicious food until you can finish it."
Wang Dashan, on the other hand, was drinking wine very elegantly while overlooking the night view below.
The night view of Tianjin has become more beautiful, and there are more and more bright places at night. The roads continue to extend, and the shops on both sides of the road are brightly lit, extending to the end of the field of vision like giant dragons.
"It's an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness~"
"This European looks so ugly when he looks like this."
"Yes, yes, barbarians are barbarians after all, and you can see it when you eat."
"I heard that some descendants of the Yin Shang arrived in our Ming Dynasty today, but I don't know what they look like~"
"You don't know. I happened to be here in Tianjin Port today and saw those people who are descendants of the Yin Shang. They look similar to us. There is no difference. They are much better-looking than these Europeans."
"Yeah~"
"I heard that they are envoys from two kingdoms who are descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They have been arranged to live in the inn by people from the government. The emperor is also planning to find time to receive them alone."
"I heard that they are here to recognize their ancestors~"
"Really?"
"We, Ming Dynasty, and these natives of Golden Continent are really one family?"
"I heard it is, otherwise why would they look so similar, and they are also called descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."
"..."
In Wanghai Tower, other people looked at Gilt and Pablo and talked a lot. Are those who can come to Wanghai Tower to eat, those who have status and status? Seeing the two of them? Everyone also asked.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Huh~"
“So full and delicious~”
After a long time, Gilt touched his round belly with satisfaction. Damingren's food was really good, he swore. He had never eaten any delicious food in his life.
"Mr. Gilt, try our Ming Dynasty's fine wine."
Wang Dashan smiled and poured him wine.
Geert picked up the wine glass, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the plate he had just eaten, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of a rich Eastern country, even the things used for eating and drinking are expensive porcelain. What if these things could be brought back to Europe? They could easily be sold at very high prices.
But here? It is only used to hold food and drink. It is very common and very ordinary.
Take a gentle sip, and the aroma of wine fills your heart. It's slightly sweet and has endless aftertaste.
“Good wine~”
“Compared to our wine? Not bad at all~”
Gilt couldn't help but admire him.
"Drink more if you like~"
Wang Dashan smiled and continued to fill it up for him.
Here, Pablo also touched his belly with satisfaction. He was too full and felt a little stuffed.
"You Ming Dynasty are really too rich~"
After eating and drinking enough, Gilt and Pablo were in the mood to take a closer look at the Wanghai Tower. Needless to say, the decoration inside the Neptune Tower was very luxurious.
Decorated with various glass ornaments and lit with whale oil lamps, it looks magnificent and luxurious like a palace.
This made Gilt couldn't help but sigh. The Ming Dynasty was really as rich as described in Marco Polo's travels. This was just a restaurant, but it was already so luxurious.
The exquisite porcelain, the luxurious clothes people wore, and the dazzling array of decorations all told them about the wealth of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Dashan smiled and shook his head slightly, recalling in his mind the scene when he was about to starve to death several years ago. Time passed by, and no one thought that Ming Dynasty would develop to this point.
The prosperity of Tianjin is obvious to all, but there are still many poor places in the Ming Dynasty. Tianjin is the richest place in the entire Ming Dynasty.
“So beautiful~”
"Oh God~"
"This is definitely the most beautiful night I've ever seen."
Soon, Gilt and Pablo saw the night view of Tianjin outside the window and were immediately amazed.
Looking down at Tianjin, Tianjin is brightly lit at night. Residential buildings are brightly lit, streets and shops are brightly lit, and the same is true for every road.
In Tianjin, which is unified and centrally planned, everything is in order, neatly planned, dotted around, and has a large concentration of people. At night, there are many lights, and everything is bright as far as the eye can see.
"Haha, of course the night in Tianjin is beautiful."
When Wang Dashan heard the admiration from the two of them, he nodded very proudly.
As Tianjin people, they are extremely proud of this.
Nowadays, Tianjin people walk with wind, and when they see outsiders, they can’t help but raise their heads a little too high.
"Oh God~"
“Tianjin is bigger and more beautiful than rumored~”
"Even the capital of the Holy Roman Empire is not one-tenth of its size. It's so beautiful~"
Pablo couldn't help but sigh and said.
He has been to many places, including almost every major city in Europe, but he has never seen such a prosperous and beautiful city as Tianjin.
During the day, I could only feel its prosperity and hustle and bustle. At night, when I looked down from a high place, I finally understood why the people of the Ming Dynasty were always so proud and confident when talking about the city of Tianjin.
After seeing Tianjin at night, you will be deeply conquered by it. Compared with it, other cities are as ridiculous as the light of a grain of rice competing with the bright moon.
"If I have the chance, I will also go to Europe to see your European cities."
Wang Dashan smiled and said.
"Mr. Wang, I have to say that your Tianjin is really beautiful and very big. Compared with it, our European cities are too small and insignificant."
Although Gilt is unwilling to admit such a fact, this is the reality. Compared with Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty, there is really no comparison between European cities.
"Haha, our Tianjin has only developed in these years. It was very small before."
Wang Dashan smiled and replied, then waved to the waiter and said: "Check out~"
"A total of twelve taels of silver~"
The waiter came over, calculated it carefully and said.
"Twelve taels of silver?"
Hearing what the waiter said, Wang Dashan didn't finish his words, but Gilt and Pablo were stunned again. These three people actually ate twelve taels of silver for a meal. This was too expensive.
"Here you go~"
Wang Dashan smiled and counted out twelve one-tael banknotes from the bag. Wanghai Tower in Tianjin was notoriously expensive, and it was one of the best restaurants in the entire Ming Dynasty. The consumption was extremely expensive.
Even as a captain with a high income, he only comes here once or twice for luxury.
"Okay, three guests, please go slowly~"
The waiter at the shop took the check and sent it off respectfully with a smile.
After leaving Wanghai Tower, Wang Dashan took Gilt and Pablo and walked along the street very leisurely. They took a walk to eat, and at the same time visited the night market in Tianjin.
On both sides of the cement road, the buildings are brightly lit, and the shops below are also very busy. Under the illumination of whale oil lamps and the reflection of glass lamps, the shops are very bright, and people are shopping inside the shops. Come and hang out.
"God, if those European women came to the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely use up every last silver coin in their wallets."
As he walked and looked at each shop, Gilt couldn't help but sigh.
There are many shops selling cloth here, and all kinds of cloths with exquisite patterns and colors are very beautiful under the light.
In addition to these shops that sell cloth, there are also shops that specialize in selling ready-made clothes. In one store, beautiful ready-made clothes are placed in glass frames, coupled with full-length mirrors, which are very beautiful. .
He had no doubt that if a European noble lady came to Ming Dynasty, she would spend all her money.
"Such a huge mirror~"
“And these exquisite glass products~”
"These porcelain~silk, satin~"
"These are the perfumes used by Ming Dynasty people~"
"If this mirror is transported to Europe, it will be enough for someone to become rich overnight~"
Pablo's eyes were shining. When he came to Tianjin, he saw too many things. Many things were very common and common in the Ming Dynasty, but when he arrived in Europe, they were all priceless things. .
With many sighs, they returned to their inn.
The inn also prepared hot water and soap for them. Gilt took a beautiful bath and felt extremely comfortable. Then he lay down on the comfortable big bed and felt the comfort and silky smoothness of the Daming mattress. Satin and silk.
He was completely sleepless, so he came to the desk, took out his thick notebook and started writing this.
Today we finally arrived in Tianjin during the Ming Dynasty. The prosperity and wealth here far exceeded my imagination.
Before coming here, I heard a lot of rumors about Tianjin, read Marco Polo's travels, and tried my best to imagine the wealth and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
I have always felt that the people of the Ming Dynasty were bragging, and the contents of Marco Polo's travels were exaggerated and contained a lot of exaggeration.
It wasn't until I came to Tianjin and saw the prosperity and prosperity of Tianjin with my own eyes that I realized that Ming people are very humble. Tianjin is far more prosperous and wealthy than I imagined. The nights here are as bright as the day, and everywhere is magnificent... …
