MTL - My Wife is the Villain King Shark-Chapter 5
Jiang Chaosheng raised his head and glanced at the sky subconsciously. There was no pie in the sky, but fish in the sea.
They dispatched two boats in total. One boat had about ten people, and there was not one boat next door. Jiang Chaosheng's cabin was almost full, and fish kept jumping in from the sea. If you jump down again, the people on the boat will have no place to sit, and the carrying capacity of the boat is limited. The water surface is gradually flush with the waterline, and even begins to cross the waterline.
"No more loading! The boat will sink!" Ah Lang, who was sitting in the same boat as Jiang Chaosheng, sat up, grabbed the fish with both hands and threw it out.
"Another boat is approaching." Jiang Chaosheng calmly commanded, "Throw the fish into another boat, and when the weight is almost the same, go to Wangzhou." In this way, when they sell this wave of supplies, they can also have a deeper understanding of local prices. understanding.
He looked at the sea without the fish jumping out, the waves disappeared quickly, leaving only a circle of spreading ripples. The sea looks clear, but it is actually bottomless. Unless it sinks into the sea, it is impossible to see what is happening in the depths.
Ji Xuanbing didn't intend to use fish to smash Shen Engong's boat. Almost as soon as Jiang Chaosheng's voice fell, he stopped and plunged into the deep sea, only intending to follow silently behind.
Staying in the sea, Ji Xuanbing is the real master of the sea, and no one can hurt him. Although he wanted to repay his kindness earlier, when it came time to meet, Ji Xuanbing hesitated. Will the benefactor dislike the merman, and will he regard him as an alien? !
Human beings have a saying that those who are not my race will be punished. Even if the benefactor is a good person, what if the people around him become greedy. At the moment when the young man's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything fell on the sea, Ji Xuanbing felt a little timid and subconsciously chose to retreat.
It is strange to say that Ji Xuanbing has never known what it is to be afraid since he was a child. Even in the face of an opponent who is much taller and stronger than himself in his childhood, he can rush up without hesitation and use his sharp claws to pierce the opponent's head. Throat.
Ji Xuanbing put his hand on his chest, bang bang bang, his heart was beating so fast just now, this is a very unfamiliar feeling to mermaids, and this scene of rapid heartbeat also happened when he saw his benefactor. The first side, but then was not the same as it is now.
When the back of the boat was far away, Ji Xuanbing showed his head slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he quickly followed.
The oars opened the current, and it took almost two hours for the boat full of sea fish to row to Wangzhou. Wangzhou is indeed several times prosperous. The wharf in Qiongzhou is very small. The wharf outside Xiaohai Village is just a staircase extending from the shore into the water. It is made of wood, and it is worn and old, and even moss grows in some places. The wharf in Wangzhou is a long embankment made of logs and large stones, and the docked ships are large and small.
The number of people traveling on this small pier alone exceeds the population of Xiaohai Village.
"Further, there is a big port, where all the big ships pass." A group of people unloaded the goods under the leadership of Ah Lang, tied the boat to the dock, and then paid the relevant fees. The latter stood at a high place to introduce the situation to Jiang Chaosheng: "Like the big ship when you came, you can enter the port from the port, and it is very convenient to carry the goods."
"Alang, why are you here?" A dark-skinned young man saw Alang's face. He bumped the young man with his arm, laughed heartily, and showed white teeth.
"A Zhou!" A Lang completed a series of difficult high-fives with the opponent in a short period of time, and only when he subconsciously cooperated with the opponent did he realize Jiang Chaosheng's existence.
A Lang embarrassedly scratched the slightly curled hair on the top of his head: "Introduce to you, this is my friend A Zhou, the boat of the boat. Their family used to be from Qiongzhou, and now they live in Wangzhou. "
He introduced Jiang Chaosheng in Mandarin, which he had mastered a lot: "This is King An."
Ah Lang couldn't help laughing: "Your friend's name is too easy to take advantage of, it's actually called An Wang."
Ting Zhu felt uncomfortable: "Bold!"
He was aggressive: "What is taking advantage? My master is Prince An, who was appointed by the emperor of Lan Kingdom, and he has the most precious blood in his body. It is the master who is kind and doesn't care about you. People like you should salute the prince according to the rules. ."
The others didn't speak, but silently surrounded him, as if Jiang Chaosheng was the main one.
Ah Lang hurriedly said: "He came from Kyoto, and was sent by hundreds of officers and soldiers in a big boat. It is the real King An."
Up to now, he didn't know Jiang Chaosheng's full name, and he just followed others to call each other Prince An. Prince An was a title given by the emperor, and it was also a warning. It didn't mean peace and tranquility, but beat this ambitious son and told the other party to keep his own feet. , can not delusional supremacy.
The young man named A Zhou couldn't laugh anymore, his wide open mouth turned into a line, and instantly turned from cheerful and outgoing to bitterness and hatred.
Jiang Chaosheng waved his hand with a smile, and put his index finger between his lips: "Shh, Tingzhu, we are just guests who come to buy things. Don't be afraid, little brother A Zhou, the boy is a little reckless with his wholehearted protection of the master."
"You are familiar with Wangzhou. Today, there are a few more people who need to work on the matter of selling fish and buying goods."
"Your Highness." Tingzhu couldn't understand why the master was so good at talking. From his point of view, the people from Wangzhou were just a small local official, and the people in the capital always felt that they were a little more noble than other places. As long as you are polite to the biggest official in Wangzhou, the other party must have connections and have the ability to offer the best things with both hands. Why are you so friendly to such a lowly poor boy?
"Listen to Zhu." Jiang Chaosheng warned, "If you don't want to stay by my side, for the sake of your past relationship, and pay your redemption money, I will let you go." Possibly no savings.
Listening to Zhu immediately drooped his brows and eyes: "It's my fault, brother A Zhou, please forgive me."
He was young and handsome, and looked similar to A Zhou's younger brother. The latter immediately accepted his apology: "No no no, you are not wrong, I am too offensive." He glared at his good brother, If you really want to blame it, then blame the guy Ah Lang for not clarifying things first.
Jiang Chaosheng tapped the listening bamboo gently with his fan: "I don't want to blame you for outsiders, but you are too reckless." The protector's heart is good, and this mouth needs to be taught a lesson. It's all for him to speak so ugly. pull hatred.
Internal and external are inherently inconsistent, and being polite to A Zhou is because the other party is an outsider. Hearing Zhu came to his senses, a little happy and a little guilty, but now there is no resentment in his stomach, and he honestly admits his mistake: "It's my fault, but Zhu knows it's wrong."
"Let's not be an example." Listening to Zhu's recklessness, but being straightforward and reckless has the use of being straightforward and reckless. In the end, he was young. If the other party was a few years older, Jiang Chaosheng might not have the patience to tolerate each other like this.
It is true that the high-profile position is fast, but on the one hand, Jiang Chaosheng does not like high-profile, on the other hand. Brothers still have to settle accounts, the emperor is far away this day, the city lord of Wangzhou City will let him take advantage of it in vain. He is only a prince, not an emperor. Whether the forces behind Wangzhou City have enemies with him is another matter.
Thinking about the complicated political struggle, Jiang Chaosheng has a headache. If he gets involved in this kind of thing, his retirement life will be completely ruined immediately. Thinking about it, Jiang Chaosheng is too happy to say: "It's getting late, and the fish is sold out. Find a place to eat and go back after buying the seeds."
It was not a coincidence when they came, there was no particularly good stall selling goods, only a corner. Although the fish were fresh, they were not equipped with suitable utensils for holding them. Even if they rented equipment to buy fish at Ah Zhou's house when they landed, some of the delicate fish that had left the water died on the spot.
Jiang Chaosheng didn't prostitute A Zhou for nothing. The money is small, and it is not good to owe favors, or let the people under him develop bad habits.
People who buy fish pick and choose, skillfully picking at thorns: "Your fish are dead, won't you be taking sick goods, it's worthless."
"Auntie, we just caught this fish. It's absolutely fresh, and it's easy to die." Ah Lang knew the market and firmly disagreed with the price given by Auntie Yu.
"If you can't sell it, keep it at home." Since it is a rare fresh product, Jiang Chaosheng doesn't mind keeping it for himself, so he will find a local restaurant to spend money to process it.
"Auntie definitely believes in you, this fish is sold at the price you said!" Auntie glanced at Jiang Chaosheng, her voice was twisted, but her movements were quite neat, and she directly picked up a few big fish and walked away.
The traffic flow of their booth is very poor, just because there is one more Jiang Chaosheng watching Yulang, inexplicably many people crowd here, and then more and more people are curious.
Jiang Chaosheng basically doesn't talk to the guests. When someone comes to ask someone else, he will answer for him, but the fresh fish on the stall is still sold out in an instant, and the price is not particularly low. The man next to him was so envious that he didn't have such a face!
As a port city, there are a lot of people going to and from Wangzhou City, not to mention twenty people, even a hundred people. However, Jiang Chaosheng's group still attracted the attention of many people. It has nothing to do with the black-skinned brothers A Lang and A Zhou, and it has nothing to do with the sharp-toothed Tingzhu. It is entirely because Jiang Chaosheng underestimated the lethality of his appearance.
He is not the tallest and strongest in the crowd, but he is undoubtedly the focus of dozens of people, and he can be seen in the crowd at a glance.
But such a handsome man is not as cold as snow in the mountains, just out of sight, his eyes are warm, and he has a three-point smile when he sees everyone, like the spring breeze in February, the scorching sun at noon. melted. However, Jiang Chaosheng's eyes never stayed on anyone's face for too long. When he turned his eyes away mercilessly, after a while, those who were swept by gentle eyes could wake up.
The local A Zhou introduced a restaurant with a good taste and a big place, which can accommodate more than 20 customers. Originally, it wasn't even a meal time, and there were not many people in the store. As soon as Jiang Chaosheng came, the customers were full in the blink of an eye.
This side is also close to the sea, and the weather is hot. Jiang Chaosheng ordered a refreshing kelp seedling and shrimp soup, a lot of refreshing cold noodles, and some cold dishes, such as cold jellyfish and the like, which tasted very good.
When it came to Jiang Chaosheng's table, the portion of the dishes was very rich. Jiang Chaosheng asked for rice, and the rice was served in a small bowl, while others were flat. Jiang Chaosheng's rice bowl was not only bigger, but piled up as high as a hill.
"No more small bowls." Not to mention that the guests are good-looking, the proprietress is willing to give more, just because of his ability to attract guests, she will have to keep the guests for a while.
After finishing the meal, he went to the market for a walk. Jiang Chaosheng bought a lot of seeds, added some seasonings, and bought a lot of farming tools. I even bought several cattle, which are in large quantities, and the big companies have boats to deliver them. The boss also took the initiative to give a lot of discounts, the kind that is quite conscientious, Ah Lang, who is good at bargaining, didn't come in handy at all. Jiang Chaosheng didn't bring much money. After paying all kinds of deposits, he basically spent it all.
"Go back when you're done shopping, everyone has worked hard today."
Jiang Chaosheng didn't intend to make a high profile, but just like this, he was targeted. Originally, the identity of King An was not a big secret, but after a little inquiries, his basic situation was found out.
The delivery ship that arrived in Qiongzhou the next day, in addition to the goods bought by Jiang Chaosheng, also brought a lot of red boxes, and there were several matchmakers who followed the layoffs.
"I don't know if Lang Jun is married or not. It doesn't matter if you are married. I'm here to propose marriage on behalf of someone else." There are not only one matchmaker, but there are several.
"My second miss saw it first and bought Lang Jun's fish." "My miss and Lang Jun have dinner together!"
"Your young lady is ugly and worthless! Where does she match up with Lang Jun?" "My young lady has a lot of wealth and a generous dowry!"
They all want to get rich commissions, squeeze around, and simply attack each other.
"Bullshit, I'm the one who came first!" The sea shark was furious, setting off a huge wave
Ji Xuanbing, who was originally trapped by complicated emotions, did not expect that humans could be so direct. He completely forgot about the twists and turns and began to tangle. The people on the shore are rich, and they can compare to him! There is a saying in human beings that the first strike is the strongest. Otherwise, he will also send an aquarium who can change shape to come ashore to propose marriage to the benefactor?
