Chapter Thirteen Ports
Because of his new sister, Zhao Heng slept in the car at night and woke up very early the next day. Zhao Heng developed a good work and rest schedule at the police academy, so he woke up very early.
Zhao Heng pushed the car door open, and a stream of cold air blew into the car. Although the temperature outside was less than zero, it was only five or six degrees, which was still very cold.
Zhao Heng quickly put on his clothes. When he got off the car, he saw the morning sun rising from the sea level in the distance. Zhao Heng looked at the desolate Haidian Island and the dilapidated house not far away, and then he thought of himself.
It was in the Ming Dynasty, and today is the second day of time travel.
Zhao Heng was not familiar with the surrounding environment and did not dare to go far. He could only run a few laps around the house to exercise. He happened to see a thin figure coming out of the woods. It was Zhao Heng's new sister fetching water.
Zhao Jing was holding a kettle in her hand, pouring water into the wooden vat in the courtyard, and then went out to make the second pot. Zhao Heng saw the child holding a five-pound kettle to fetch water. How long would it take to fill a full pot?
Cylinder?
Zhao Heng stopped Zhao Jing. When Zhao Jing saw Zhao Heng, he quickly put down the kettle in his hand, knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the young master!"
Zhao Heng said with a smile: "You are my sister. We don't like kowtow in our family. Don't kowtow all the time in the future!"
Zhao Jing stood up and nodded. Zhao Heng went to the trunk and took out a folding outdoor bucket, handed it to Zhao Jing and said, "How much water can a kettle hold? It's faster to use this."
Zhao Jing was very curious about this foldable bucket and wondered how it could be made of cloth without leaking.
With the tools at hand, Zhao Jing quickly filled the water tank and then started to clean up the yard. The movement in the yard woke up the Zhao family one after another. The first one to get up was Zhao Zhikuan. He came out of the tent and saw a bald child.
While cleaning the yard, he asked: "Zhao Heng, who is this? A villager sent by the village chief?"
Zhao Zhikuan thought Zhao Jing was a villager sent by the village chief to help, but after learning that she was the newly adopted daughter of his son and daughter-in-law, he stopped asking.
Zhao Fuxiang was the last one to get up, and he quickly ran towards the woods after leaving the house. Seeing this, Sun Jing knew that this guy had gone to poop, and quickly reminded: "Husband, the excrement must be dug and buried deeply.
!ā
Zhao Heng was very curious when his mother said this and asked: "Mom, why do you have to bury it deeply? Is it to maintain hygiene?"
Sun Jing shook his head and explained: "Our bodies are full of microorganisms and bacteria, some good and some bad. For example, E. coli can cause intestinal infections in the stomach. People in this era are far less resistant than later generations. If we don't pay attention, we
If the bacteria you bring spreads, its power is comparable to that of a nuclear weapon!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng quickly asked: "What about the viruses on our skin?"
Zhao Heng is afraid of bringing back other deadly bacterial viruses, such as SARS. In the Ming Dynasty without antibiotics, it was not difficult for these two viruses to kill half of the world's population.
However, Sun Jing gave Zhao Heng a reassuring answer. Although viruses and bacteria are powerful, they can only survive for about half an hour at room temperature. Especially under sunlight, they basically lose their activity in ten minutes, so there is no need to worry too much about skin and bacteria.
Viruses on clothes, but because the temperature inside the human body is suitable, viruses can live for a long time, so the family's excrement must be buried deeply. After seven days, the viruses and bacteria originally carried in the body can be metabolized, and then there will be no harm.
.
Sun Jing was talking about basic public health knowledge, and Zhao Fuxiang came out of the woods at this time and said hummingly: "We must get fresh water today. I drank some well water here last night and started to feel bad. Let's
Is there any more medicine?"
Sun Jing found a piece of coptis for Zhao Fuxiang to eat, and then said: "The first task today is to make a filter based on the water purification tank in the computer. The well water here is not bad. After filtering and boiling, there should be no problem.
Already."
After Zhao Fuxiang took the medicine, he said: "Zhao Heng, help your mother make the filter at home. I'll go to the city later and have a look. It's best to buy some tools and food. It's not a problem to eat instant noodles all the time!"
Zhao Zhikuan heard what his son said and asked, "What are you going to exchange for money in the city?"
"Dad, yesterday I was digging through the trunk and saw a dozen pearl bracelets. Did Mom buy them?"
When Ma Guilan heard what her son said, she quickly said: "Yes, these freshwater pearls are very cheap. I plan to buy them back and give them to my old sisters!"
After Sun Jing heard what her husband said, she also said: "By the way, I also bought a few strings of black pearl necklaces. They are very expensive. I plan to go back and give them to the hospital leaders. You can take them together and see if you can sell them for money!"
Zhao Fuxiang took a bunch of bracelets and two mineral water bottles and then said: "There are only a thousand people in that Haikou institute, so I guess it won't be worth much. We'll talk about the necklace later. Let's take a bracelet and two bottles today."
Go and see your luck!ā
After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he tidied up and was about to get up and go to Suocheng. Sun Jing asked: "Husband, aren't you going to eat?"
Zhao Fuxiang looked at the instant noodles in the pot and said, "I'm going to vomit after eating the instant noodles. I won't eat them. You can eat them!"
After Zhao Fuxiang finished speaking, he got up and left home and walked into Baisha Village. At this time, the villagers in Baisha Village had already gotten up. They did not have the tradition of taking a New Year's holiday. If they did not get food today, the whole family would be hungry.
When Xu, the village elder, saw Zhao Fuxiang entering the village, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Master Zhao, where are you going?"
"By the way, Lao Xu, is there a market in the city? I'm going to buy something."
In Haikou, a small town of a thousand people, there was no market like that of later generations. Instead, there were a few hawkers buying vegetables. After hearing what Lao Xu said, Zhao Fuxiang became frustrated and asked, "Are there any pawn shops or the like in the city?"
After hearing what Zhao Fuxiang said, Lao Xu knew that he was going to pawn something, so he quickly said: "There is no such thing in Suocheng, but there is one in Fucheng, but it is too far away and I can't come back in one day. If Mr. Zhao wants to sell something, he can go to the store outside Suocheng."
Check out the West Market, there may be someone there who can collect things."
Zhao Fuxiang asked a few more questions about other things, such as what to buy, etc., but Lao Xu couldn't answer them. He probably didn't know these things even if he was a small village leader.
Zhao Fuxiang left Baisha Village and came to the Nandu River Ferry. Fan Tong saw Zhao Fuxiang coming and ran out of the beacon to greet him.
"I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Zhao. Why is Mr. Zhao out so early today?"
Zhao Fuxiang followed the rules of the Ming Dynasty and cupped his hands, and then said with a smile: "Chief Fan Dun is so dedicated. We are new here and we lack various utensils at home, so I am going to go out and buy some!"
"I see, but Mr. Zhao don't go to Suocheng. There is basically nothing there. The West Market outside Suocheng is a good place to go."
Fan Tong also said that the West Market seemed to be a prosperous market, and Zhao Fuxiang was going to have a look soon.
Zhao Fuxiang had already boarded the ferry and turned around and asked: "Fan Dunchang, how much did the bottle I gave you yesterday cost?"
Fan Tong was stunned when he heard what Zhao Fuxiang said, and immediately replied: "I sold it for one tael of silver, why does Master Zhao still have it? If Master Zhao wants to sell it, he can sell it to the villain, and the villain is willing to buy it!"
Zhao Fuxiang was very good at it. Hearing what Fan Tong said, he knew that this guy must have been sold for more than one tael of silver. Zhao Fuxiang laughed and said, "Nothing, just asking. Don't bother Mr. Fan Dun!"
Seeing Zhao Fuxiang sitting on the ferry to the other side, Fan Tong secretly cursed this fat guy named Zhao for being so cunning. In fact, he went to the West Market yesterday to sell the bottle for three taels of silver. He originally wanted to get a few more from the Zhao family.
Who would have thought that someone would find out.
Suoxi City, Haikou is not far from the west gate of the city. It is not far from Yuxiufang in Haikou. Yuxiufang is later Shuixiankou Street in Haikou City. It has been the port of Qiongzhou Prefecture since the Song Dynasty and has been the most popular place in Haikou since ancient times.
Busy area.
Although Qiongzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty was a remote military state, the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture governed 470,000 people. These were Han people in the plains. Adding in the hidden populations in counties and ethnic minorities in the mountains, there were estimated to be millions on the entire Hainan Island.
population.
There are many good ports in the coastal section of Haikou. Starting from Zhenhai Village, which is the farthest away, and ending at Baishajin, there are more than a dozen large and small ports scattered along the entire coastline that stretches for more than 30 miles. The various functions of the ports can be seen from their names.
For example, Lielou Port, Shashang Port, Yanzao Port, Uyashi Port, etc.
Zhao Fuxiang was going to Shashang Port. Because it was the closest to Fucheng, it was also the most prosperous and had the largest number of merchants. Most of the goods in high demand on the mainland landed here.
Zhao Fuxiang stood on the road and looked at the busy port, and found that it was even more prosperous than Suocheng. There were a large number of bungalows built near the seaside, selling all kinds of goods. At the same time, various people were shuttled between the shops and
between ports.
Zhao Fuxiang had short hair and was wearing a jacket. He looked so different when standing on the street. When the merchants on the street saw this guy, they all started talking, why is there a monk in strange clothes?
The commercial street in front of the port is not big. Zhao Fuxiang walked around in ten minutes and came to the door of a shop called Furuihao. The clerk at the door saw the guests and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Just as he was about to say hello, he noticed that Zhao Fuxiang
He looked so impressed that he couldn't help but be stunned.
The store owner was still well-informed, so he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Excuse me, what does this master have to do? Do you want to purchase something or beg for alms?"
Begging for alms? If Iām not a monk, why should I beg for alms?
Zhao Fuxiang didn't care about his title and said with a smile: "Brother, I have something I want to sell. Can you take it from here?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. It's not that he didn't accept anything here, but he was afraid that Zhao Fuxiang's whereabouts were unknown, and it would be troublesome if he received dirty things from thieves.
"Master, do you have any ultimatum or rules?"
Zhao Fuxiang didn't know what a stipend was, but he took the household registration card he just applied for yesterday with him and quickly took it out and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was relieved when he saw the official documents. After reading it, he asked: "It turns out that you are not a monk, but a Han who came back from Luzon to visit relatives! I wonder if you have any good things from Nanyang to sell? Our Furui ship is in Guangzhou.
