Chapter 200: Shangguan ship

The steamed stuffed buns in the inn tasted good. Xiao Lingchuan ate a lot, and he wasted a lot of energy last night. Li Haitang was afraid that he would not be full, so he kept a few more.

"Husband, eat more."

Li Haitang didn't look at Zhang Ruyi on the opposite side, and picked up food for her savage husband.

According to the buddy's suggestion, if you want to buy the first-class cabin on an official ship, it is best to find a middle-aged person, who will spend a few hundred cash, and you don't have to wait in line, and you are guaranteed a ticket.

There is nothing wrong with saying three hundred and sixty lines, and the champion will come out of every line. Li Haitang can be regarded as having seen the ancient scalpers.

They will be on board tomorrow, and they will be delayed for five or six days on board. In case the food on board is unpalatable, they can only eat some dry and hard pancakes.

It's hot, and if you can't keep eating, it will break down in one day.

"We'll bring some dried fruit and pastries to relieve boredom on the boat, and we'll buy some pate from the inn with the guys."

It’s hot, and I always like to eat something strong. There is a pot on the boat. They buy some green vegetables, add some sesame oil, vinegar and sesame sauce, and make a spicy soup.

If you want to eat noodles, you can mix noodles with meat sauce, make do with it for a few days, and go to Licheng to eat it.

Early the next morning, after dinner, a group of people came to the pier. The middleman who helped buy the tickets saw them coming, and heaved a sigh of relief. There were only two tickets with cabins. After the sale, the boat would set off immediately. The middleman was very afraid. A group of people can't catch up, wasting money for nothing.

The sky was slightly bright, people were coming and going at the dock, ships were moored around, and men wearing coarse clothes and patches could be seen everywhere. They worked as coolies on the dock all year round, transporting goods, paid a lot of money, but worked extremely hard.

There was a lot of people, hawkers selling food and gadgets carried small baskets and sold them to the boat passengers. Seeing a group of people dressed well, they surrounded them with winking eyes.

"???? Little lady, let's buy some haw jelly. Go downstream. The boat is fast. If you get seasick, drinking bitter medicine soup is not as good as haw jelly. We sell it at the pier all year round."

Holding a basket, the aunt showed the hawthorn cake she made to the passengers who were about to board the ship. It was crystal clear and appetizing.

On the left????A piece of hawthorn cake costs a few pennies. Li Haitang bought a few pieces at random. This thing is sweet and sour, and tastes good. It won't go bad after a few days.

On the official ship, the yamen servants were in charge of transporting them. After checking the tickets, someone specially assigned them to take them into the cabin. The group of people bought the best cabin, but there were only two cabins, and Lan Yi was squeezed together with Zhang Ruyi.

When Li Haitang entered the cabin, the space was cramped. After putting down the two small couches, there was only room for two people to pass through in the middle. Fortunately, a separate clean room was set up in the corner.

The official ship runs on the water all year round. The cabin is dark and humid. There is only a small air vent on the top, and weak light penetrates in. It is threaded and horizontal on the wooden floor.

There is a fairly clean small cabinet in the corner, on which teapots and tea bowls can be placed, and it can also be used as a dining table.

"? Combine the two small couches into one, husband, I don't want to sleep separately from you."

The best cabin is like this, the environment below can be imagined, there is no independent space, and hundreds of people are crowded together.

You have to go to a special toilet to go to the toilet. Some people are seasick and vomit, body odor, and various smells of food mixed together, it must be sour.

Li Haitang has a slight obsession with cleanliness. She covered her mouth with her hands and yawned. Fortunately, Zhang Ruyi insisted on bringing bedding. She changed the bedding and installed warm-colored gauze curtains on the outer layer, making the cabin look much more cozy.

There are many mosquitoes by the water, and they are poisonous, and the gauze is light and light, which does not take much weight. In addition, she also brought mosquito-proof incense, and a tea set is all prepared by herself, so don't worry.

It takes several days to live on the boat anyway, so you can't just fool around. The weather is dry and hot, and there are many mosquitoes, which are most likely to infect diseases such as malaria.

The husband and wife had just finished tidying up, and with a long sound, the boat sailed away.

The first-class cabin is on the second floor. There are tables, chairs and benches on the deck, and a large umbrella for shading on it. You can sit and fish, look at the distant river view, and enjoy a leisurely time.

Lu Yuanqing brought a few books and sat in a shaded place to read, drinking tea from time to time, leisurely.

On the other side, Zhang Ruyi played chess with the blue clothes. Looking at the bitter face of the blue clothes, she knew that Miss Zhang had inherited the fine tradition of Zhang Zhifu. A sense of joy after a catastrophe.

The wind on the river was strong, blowing sleeves flying, and the water surface was magnificent. Under the sunshine, it was shimmering. Looking at the mountain villages and fields in the distance, Li Haitang had a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery.

"Husband, I like our days on the mountain the most."

In this season, the front and back of the small courtyard are green, and they can build a warm sun room on the branches of two trees.

The sun room is decorated with flowers and plants, and the window screen is made of fine yarn. When you open the window, you can see the smart little sparrows.

Watching the sunset in summer, watching the falling snow in winter, cooking a pot of sake, drinking with the couple, there is prosperity in the tranquility.

"When we return from Licheng, we will go home. The grapes in the mountains are about to ripen."

The wind on the river messed up Li Haitang's black hair, Xiao Lingchuan used his hands to pin her short hair to her ears with gentle movements.

When the grapes are ripe, they have been together for almost a year. Time flies too fast, and when it is almost there, there is still time to recollect, and they slip away unknowingly.

"That's right. When we make wine, we should use the water from the cold pool behind the mountain. The wine we make has its own fragrance."

Li Haitang nodded hastily. There are a lot of wild grapes in the mountains, and she has transplanted a few in her yard. She asked the savage husband to remind herself that she must not forget.

In other words, it seems that I haven't seen Mrs. Li for a long time. This time is different from the past. With her status in the Northland, Mrs. Li dare not come to her door, otherwise she will be drowned by spit stars.

"Brother Xiao, Mrs. Sister-in-law!"

The conversation between the husband and wife was interrupted, Xiao Lingchuan looked over after hearing the reputation, and when he saw the person coming, his face was soft, this person was his brother Ji Qiu who he knew from the darts.

"Brother Ji, what a coincidence, where are you going?"

Li Haitang recognized that Ji Qiu was the three hands who taught his savage husband how to pick locks. He is also a hard-working man. He came out to beg for a living at home when he was sixteen or seventeen. He worshiped a little thief as his master.

Two years ago, Jinpen washed his hands, and now he is in the wine business, which is a serious business.

Years later, in the border town, Ji Qiu paid a visit to deliver the congratulatory gifts for their marriage.

Ji Qiu only reached the crown this year, younger than Xiao Lingchuan, he is handsome, with a smiling face when he sees everyone, Li Haitang treats him like a younger brother.

"I just arrived in Yong'an last night. I wanted to go to Lucheng to see you, but I was told that there was a small business mistake and I had to go back to Licheng." Ji Qiu was very happy to meet the husband and wife, and he was not polite, so he sat down Come down, take the cup and pour tea by yourself.
