Chapter 3508

The Longchi Wharf in Qingzhou is now one of the largest wharves in the north. There are merchant ships going from south to north to west. Naturally, there are also many merchant ships going to the north, south and west, especially the merchant ships going west. Straight out of Dajin, to Silla, to further places...

Over the years, Dajin Maritime Trade has developed rapidly. I heard that a caravan has reached a place called Tianfang as far as possible, and brought back a large number of beautiful gems, dates that have never been seen before, and even sweeter white sugar. and something warmer called cotton.

Because Zhou Man likes to collect species she has never seen before, and the best transported plants are the main ones among them, so the merchants who go to sea like to bring back these never-before-seen seeds for her.

Going abroad means that they don't have the chance to use the opportunity to see a doctor once a week. Their family members can also use it, and they can use it as a favor.

Therefore, Zhou Man has received a lot of overseas seeds during these years of rapid development of sea trade.

She planted part of it to Keke for collection, and the rest to Zhou Dalang and Zhou Lizhong for trial planting. Now the best plant is cotton, which is really good, but the yield is not high.

Now the best quilts in Beijing are stuffed with cotton and silk floss, which is softer and warmer.

For this reason, Zhou Man also searched for cotton in the encyclopedia, and learned that there will be no shortage of this thing in the future, so the included points are not high.

The cotton in the future world is very mature. It is whiter and larger than the ones they planted, and it is tougher and softer when pulled.

Zhou Man searched for cotton in the shopping mall at that time, but unfortunately he couldn't find any seeds for sale after searching for a long time. It is said that this is a special product of a planet. Yes, free gift, no points required.

This thing is not expensive, and alliance members who are not short of money will not do this if they have nothing to do.

In the end, Zhou Man still found a familiar flower shop owner, and asked him to buy some cotton seeds with several pots of original peonies and chrysanthemums from her to hang on the shop.

The Encyclopedia will never take the initiative to tell her what is lacking in this world and what more valuable things can be used. She needs to discover and think about everything by herself.

What Zhou Man understands is that when the time comes, she will find out by herself.

But now, she wants to find more opportunities to discover, "When I'm overseas, I'll walk all the way, Keke, you just scan all the way, and collect everything that we don't have in Dajin, and then look at the encyclopedia. Is there a better one, and then buy it from the mall, so that we can save a lot of detours."

Keke didn't want to attack the host, but he still had to say: "The host should find a boat to go to sea first."

Zhou Man was full of confidence, "Longchi Wharf is very big now, finding the boat in the sea is not a matter of shouting."

She finds it very simple.

The ship docked at Qingzhou Wharf, and Zhou Lang, who had received the news in advance, waited to pick them up at the wharf.

Seeing that they got off the boat in good spirits, they breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward and said, "I was worried about you getting seasick."

Bai Shan smiled and said: "I'm really dizzy, it's been a few days since I got better."

Bai Shan is fine, he has been out at sea before, but it was the first time for Zhou Man and the others to sit on a sea boat for such a long time, and they felt a little dizzy.

They have been going out by boat a lot these years, but there is still a difference between a boat in the river and a boat in the sea, and the boat in the sea is more bumpy.

From Yangzhou to Qingzhou, this can be regarded as getting used to it in advance.

When Bai Erlang got off the boat, he felt that everyone was shaking, he shook his head and said: "I have to go back to sleep."

Their courtyard at Longchi Wharf has been well-maintained, and they are not far away, so they can sleep when they go up.

Zhou Zhoulang had a deep understanding of this shaking feeling, so he didn't say much, and directly led them back to rest.

After years of development, Longchi Wharf has developed into a town as prosperous as Qingzhou Fucheng. At this time, there are many cars and people on the street, and there are many foreign faces, which are very lively.

Zhou Man and Bai Shan haven't been here for many years, and they are very pleased to see the streets they used to be familiar with become so prosperous.

There used to be a lot of houses built on the mountain where there was only one other courtyard, Zhou Zhoulang said: "Fortunately, you bought that piece of land back then, did you see that now these villas and other courtyards are all built on the boundary line that you bought at the beginning?" .”

The Longchi Wharf became lively, and the nearby land prices rose. Later, the county magistrate divided the land on the mountain and sold them piece by piece, filling the gap for the expansion of the Longchi Wharf.

Not for the princess’s courtyard on the mountain, but for the Longchi Wharf, it is worthwhile for wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen to build a courtyard on this mountain.

Because many other courtyards have been built in the villa, and the road on the mountain has been built wide and flat, their chariots and horses entered the courtyard smoothly.

The servants who stayed in the other courtyard had been waiting for a long time, and when they were picked up, they were sent to their respective courtyards.

Zhou Man took a shower, washed his hair and changed his clothes before sitting refreshed on the second floor of the courtyard and looking down at the sea in the distance.

Zhou Zhoulang came to them with a food box, and seeing that she was alone, he asked, "Where is my brother-in-law?"

"It's taking a bath." Zhou Man's eyes fell on the food box in his hand, "What's delicious?"

Zhou Zhou Lang smiled and said, "I know you're seasick, and I'm afraid you can't eat anything else, so I asked the kitchen to cook porridge for you."

He opened the food box and brought out a bowl of porridge and a plate of dim sum, "Vegetable and shrimp porridge, the dim sum is also your favorite chestnut cake, try it."

Zhou Man took a piece of dim sum and asked, "Where's Bai Shan's?"

Zhou Zhoulang pointed to the food box and said, "Don't worry, I can't lose him, there's still a bowl in here."

"He likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Zhou Zhoulang: "...Then I ask the kitchen to make another plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

After finishing speaking, he regretted it himself, "Isn't this chestnut cake quite sweet, why can't I eat it?"

Zhou Man: "It's natural to eat what you like the most."

"All right, all right," Zhou Zhoulang turned and went downstairs, and called someone to the kitchen to order sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

Then I went back upstairs, "The letter you sent was not clear. It only said that I would find you a boat in the sea, but it didn't say where you were going."

Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "We want to go to Tianfang."

Thursday Lang took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, "Why didn't you say you were going to heaven?"

He said: "There are not many caravans on the air route of Tianfang. It takes a year to go out. If you are unlucky and encounter strong waves, you may not be able to return for two or three years. Why are you so courageous? It is the first time to go to sea. Do you dare to go so far?"

Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and said: "I really want to go to sea, otherwise I will go to Silla for a while first, after you really get used to life at sea."

Zhou Man: "...Don't lie to me, from Longchi to Silla, it only takes two or three days by boat, not far from Yangzhou."

Zhou Zhoulang: ...so sometimes talking to smart people is annoying, so you can't fool around at all.

See you tomorrow
