I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

He still remembers this girl.

Yesterday he was so confident that a jar of wine could sway him.

It made him curious about what kind of wine was in the jar.

Shen Ying had investigated the quality of the wines in the wine shops near the port. Clear wine was no longer a rare item. There were even sea caravans and Western Region caravans that brought wine.

I even learned to drink wine chilled.

As long as you have money, you can enjoy a lot of things.

There is no need to worry about Moutai causing any big stir.

"Please lend me a clean bowl, manager." Shen Ying patted the wine jar, pretending to be serious, looking very intimidating.

Using a special wooden spoon to scoop out an amount that would fill the bottom of a bowl, Shen Ying sealed the jar again.

The aroma of the grain wine was not exaggerated, but its clarity like clear water and the faint aroma of wine still made the manager's throat tighten.

The amount is at the bottom of a bowl, which looks a bit funny.

But if it is expensive wine, good quality wine, that is another matter.

He picked up the bowl and took a small sip.

It tastes sweet and not spicy, with a rich and lasting aroma and a mellow and harmonious taste.

The steward's eyes flashed and he drank it all in one gulp.

When he put down the bowl, his expression was normal, not too surprised. "It is indeed a good wine, but the quantity is really too little. If there are two more jars, I can give one to the ship owner and one to the president of the Chamber of Commerce. You can board the ship anytime you want."

Shen Ying put the wine back in her cousin's hand. "This jar is all I have. If the manager doesn't like it, then I'll just treat it as my trouble today. I won't disturb the manager from doing business. Goodbye."

Show off your acting skills in front of her and pretend she is blind.

Obviously I like it.

Shen Ying thought to herself that she was still a little impatient in order to achieve her goal.

If I had known this earlier, I would have bought liquor in the mid to low price range.

Once you start drinking Moutai, the starting point is too high.

The manager took two steps after him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, why are you so impulsive? I haven't finished what I'm saying. I'm willing to help you decide. Please put the wine away carefully. If you drop it, it will be more trouble than gain."

Shen Ying did not let her cousin give up, but said: "I want to see a satisfactory boat within two days, and the price cannot be more than double the price of ordinary boats.

When we get settled down and resume our old business, maybe everyone will have a jar of wine in the near future."

When it comes to making empty promises, she is not completely blank.

The manager laughed and told Shen Ying to take good care of the jar of wine. He would try his best to meet Shen Ying's needs.

Shen Ying returned to the inn. Her two cousins ​​stiffly and carefully placed the wine jars in the center of the table, shook their almost numb arms, and grimaced.

"How? Can we rent a boat?"

"Wait two days, we'll have the result in two days at most." Shen Ying went to the boat company in the morning and took Shen Youtian and his wife to the fishing village in the afternoon.

Some people in the village had boats that had not sailed out, so Shen Ying paid a handful of copper coins and took her parents on a boat trip.

In fact, it is just rowing out a few hundred meters and then rowing back.

After getting ashore, Shen Ying observed the expressions of the two people. Mother Shen was still a little frightened, but that was caused by her insecurity.

It seems that the two did not have a negative reaction to riding the boat.

Then other members of the Shen family came.

She didn't want to work so hard to get the qualification to take the boat, and then suddenly someone couldn't take the boat, which would cause a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, no one vomits as soon as they get on the boat.

Even Qi Yanchuan's family adapted well.

After arriving near the port, although the two families settled together, Shen Ying and Qi Yanchuan had not spoken a word for two days. At this time, they tacitly communicated about what they had done.

We also agreed to go to the fishing village together the next day to wait for the boat captain.

After agreeing on a time, the two separated again.

Shen Ying thought to herself, maybe there will always be something between the two of them, and they can never become friends who can truly trust each other.

Late night

A large ship, followed by several small boats, returned to the fishing village.

The captain Gao Ming is back.

The unshaven man smelled of fish, but he brought back a valuable harvest.

This time they were lucky enough to come across a batch of clam pearls, which could fetch a lot of money just by selling them as jewelry parts.

Among them, there is one black, one purple and one pink. I'm afraid they will become rich this year.

Hearing that there was another business coming to the door, and the person was very generous, Gao Ming considered for a moment. "Okay, then meet him."

As for money, nothing is too much.

You don't have to go to sea, you can make money by rowing a boat, why not?

You just have to avoid those people on the boat, and there's also the risk of encountering pirates.

The psychological price was raised again and again. When Shen Ying and Qi Yanchuan came, they asked for one hundred taels of silver, and also asked them to provide their own meals and hire their own doctors.

When they encounter pirates, they are willing to help but will not risk their lives.

"If you can agree, we can set off tonight." Gao Ming said directly.

The price sounds high, but it's not outrageous. It's just not commensurate with the service.

Shen Ying suggested taking a look at the boat first.

She is not a professional. She said this just to gauge the sturdiness of the ship based on other people's reactions and micro-expressions.

Qi Yanchuan started to check, knocking here and there, and asked Gao Ming a few questions.

After asking a lot of questions and saying something unknown, Gao Ming automatically lowered the price to eighty taels of silver.

By the way, he promised that if he caught any fish, he would give priority to the passengers on the boat.

When Qi Yanchuan went to talk to Shen Ying about this, the hands behind his back moved.

He was even wondering at this moment whether Shen Ying would say again, "I didn't expect you to have this trick", and then the relationship between the two would be thawed again.

He went back and thought about it. He realized that everyone has his own way of living, and there was no need for him to stand on a moral high ground to judge what others do.

Whether Shen Ying likes to fight or her feelings are superficial, it is her own choice and she will bear the consequences herself.

But Shen Ying just responded indifferently, saying that you can choose the room on the boat first.

Directly converting the bargaining success into your own benefit is also for your own benefit.

Qi Yanchuan let out a breath and said, OK!

Shen Ying still wanted to ask the shipping company first. If she had a choice, and they could both jump the queue and depart immediately, she would prefer the most professional one.

But the person in charge happened to be out.

Without leaving a single word to Shen Ying who was waiting for news, she directly returned the deposit of the inn to the Shen family. After the group replenished their fresh water, they went to the fishing village.

They had just finished dinner, and the sea breeze blowing on their faces was quite cool, with a slight salty taste. Shen Ying really managed to let Qi Yanchuan's family get on board first, and then according to the ratio of the number of people, she only asked Qi Yanchuan to pay ten taels of silver. The Shen family had more people and more livestock, so they paid seventy taels.

Of course, the money was not paid all at once, but fifty taels in total.

The fifty taels were given in front of the whole family. Shen Ying only said in a low-key manner, "Captain Gao, you and I know the price."

Finally, late at night, after about three hours, the boat slowly drifted downstream to the south.

Lanterns were hung on the boat. After another hour, the sky turned pale. The fishermen who were rowing carefully breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they had passed the port occupied by the ships.

Sailing in the early morning is risky, and you have to be wary of being caught by the boat crew.

"Remember, you are here to send off the bride." Gao Ming took advantage of the daybreak when everyone came out to walk around on the deck and quickly repeated the speech he had prepared earlier.

However, in Shen Ying's opinion, this argument is not convincing at all.

But she had to adapt to the local customs, so she specially prepared a red dress and acted with Qi Yanchuan.

The script was written by both of them.

He came to pick up the bride because he knew a little Yazhou dialect.

When she got married, she was the apple of everyone's eye in the family, and the donkey and other things were her dowry.

"Oh, and we need to prepare red ribbons for them."
