Chapter 329 News
Jiangnan Road, on an unknown inland river.

In the winter months, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is not cold, but it is not warm either.

On a cargo ship with a not-so-low draft, Du Qingning rubbed his stiff neck, thinking to himself: "After seven or eight years, I still can't get used to sleeping on the wooden boards in this cabin."

On the corner of the window was a charcoal basin that had been extinguished long ago. Du Qingning put on his clothes and went to the stern to solve the three emergencies before walking to the bow.

"Yo, the boss is up?
Wait a minute, this porridge will be ready soon. "

The wife of the boat owner raised her face and said to Du Qingning with a smile.

"Please trouble sister-in-law, I'm really hungry."

After a while, the three miscellaneous men who followed Du Qingning came over sleepily.

"Master, be well."

Du Qingning looked at the appearance of the three of them, and cursed with a smile: "I told you to play less of that brand. You two must have played half the night again yesterday."

"Hee hee, boss, don't play anymore, brother should be able to reach the ferry today, right?"

The boss of the boat came over with two not-so-small fresh fish at this time, and after hearing this, he replied directly: "So that the owner can know, after another two hours on the boat, we should be able to reach Yangzijin."

While talking, the boat boss handed the fresh fish to his wife. The boat lady quickly picked off the scales and internal organs of the fish, and sliced ​​it into very thin fish fillets. .

When Du Qingning saw it, he said, "I have the excellent clear sauce sold in Chang'an City, and it's the most delicious when dipped in it."

After finishing speaking, Du Qingning went back to the cabin to get the soy sauce that he had bought from a shop called the supermarket in Chang'an City.

Because they are all old friends who have been friends for five or six years, there is no division of places. Du Qingning and three helpers, the five members of the Chuan Boss' family, but only the Chuan Boss ate together.

Seeing this, Du Qingning hurriedly took more plates and shared some out. The boss of the boat refused all the time, but seeing that Du Qingning was sincere, he accepted it.

"Boss, did you buy this in the capital of Chang'an?
The boss has a good heart, and today I can get rich with the boss, and I can still eat things sold in the capital. "

This fresh fish sashimi is really fresh and sweet, and it is even more delicious when eaten with this soy sauce.

After hearing what the boss of the boat said, Du Qingning also started talking, but after eating another chopstick, he said: "Isn't that right?
Chang'an City is really big, not only big, but also full of people, very prosperous.

When I went back this time, I realized that the city had been expanded for the third time, and the original capital is now called the inner city. "

"I see that the boss has quite a lot of goods this time, which is deeper than before."

The boat boss just ate two chopsticks of sashimi dipped in soy sauce and stopped moving his chopsticks. He just ate the porridge in his own bowl.

"Hey, boss, you don't know, the boss has bought a lot of things this time, all of which are things that we don't have in the south.

Hee hee, the girls from the Western Regions in the West City look really good, they are completely different from the girls in the south.

They are all white and have big eyes. "

Following the current, we finally arrived at the Yangzijin Ferry, where there are densely packed boats on the edge of the pier.

The boat that Du Qingning was on wasn't the biggest, but it wasn't a small boat that couldn't hold much, it was the middle-of-the-road kind.

Although there are many boats, there are officials and family members on sampans going back and forth to maintain order, and there are even street patrols on horseback with knives patrolling the shore.

Under such conditions, don't dare to make trouble.

You must know that this area is under the jurisdiction of the Du family's army. They have established rules, and those who disobey have already become dead souls under the knife.

Although the boss arrived at noon, Du Qingning still waited until the sun went down before landing.

After declaring the goods, paying taxes, hiring laborers to move things out of the ship, and paying the laborers and boat fees, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance who came to pick up Du Qingning arrived.

"Old Du, you are back, your tigress asks my wife eight times a day, and my wife asks me sixteen times a day.

It's not that I came late on purpose, the road was very congested, and my boss left the house at noon. "

After arriving at the warehouse with the goods and returning to the chamber of commerce, there were already seven or eight members of the alliance sitting and waiting for Du Qingning.

As soon as Fu entered the door, Du Qingning called out to the old man above him: "Master, grandson, Qingning is back."

Someone at the side hastily put a futon in front of the old man, Du Qingning knelt down, and after kowtowing three times, he heard the old man say: "Okay, good, good, just come back safely. Get up quickly, and talk to everyone about the capital city." Son."

Only then did Du Qingning sit down, and the servants also served tea. He drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then began to speak directly: "Every time I go to the capital of Chang'an, it makes me feel like it has changed.

This is the third time it has been expanded, it has grown a lot, and the inner city seems less crowded.

Not only did I spend all the money I brought with me this time, but I also took out the money from selling our goods to buy them.

Therefore, this time I brought back a lot of things, the draft was deep, and because I was a regular customer, the owner of the boat only increased the boat fare by [-]%.

In addition to the newly opened shop called the supermarket, there are many new things in the shops in the capital.

Moreover, I found a branch of our League in the capital city. This branch has been doing well for so many years. Some of their in-laws are officials in the household department, and they passed me an inside message. "

At this time, the banquet table also arrived, and when it was done, there was no wine. One of them said: "Qing Ning, let's talk about things first, and I will reward you well later."

Du Qingning quickly stood up and responded: "Yes, thank you uncle for your compassion."

"The one you mentioned, but the one from Du Yaozong who went out from Taizong's time?"

Mrs. Du, who is in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, which is dominated by the Du family, thought for a while and wanted to ask aloud. After receiving Du Qingning's affirmative answer, he only nodded and signaled Du Qingning to continue.

"This news is related to two things, one is that starting next year, the imperial court may use troops against the Western Regions.

The second is that someone in the capital invented a new way of curing diseases, which required a lot of cloth to make clothes, and the objects that covered the face and head.

Later, I paid some more money and went to the shop that my grandfather told me earlier to buy some news. "

Speaking of this, Du Qingning took out something wrapped in oilcloth from his arms, and after unfolding it, he found that it was folded paper.

After Du Qingning handed the origami to Mrs. Du with both hands, Mrs. Du started to read it by candlelight.

After Mrs. Du finished reading it, he passed it on to the remaining six or seven people one by one.

Afterwards, Mrs. Du directly appointed Du Qingning and said, "Since you got the news, then you can handle it.

After that, you go to buy cloth, and collect it from remote places first, so that people won't see the clues.

However, no matter how much our family collects, we may not be able to ask for more in the capital next year.

And according to the news, not only in the capital, but also in other places where there are garrisons, these cloths should be hoarded for use.

The New Year is approaching, when the time comes, we will see how many gifts each family gives to our Du family, and then decide whether to tell them the news. "

 Babies, try not to eat raw river seafood, as it is difficult to guarantee that there are no germs and parasites.

  However, I once followed others to eat raw marinated small seafood, and I have to say that the taste is really delicious.

  But after eating, I am always afraid of parasites.

  In addition, the name of the ferry, I just picked it up, if there is any similarity, it is a coincidence.
