Qiu Niang wondered: "Two...Two taels of silver?" She wondered if she was a bad listener.

"Yes." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "It really can't be done. It can be cheaper by five dollars. One or two and five dollars is the lowest price. It can't be lowered anymore."

Qiu Niang was suspicious, and she looked up and down the middle-aged man, wondering if the middle-aged man had a brain disease.

"This boat... is really yours?" Although Qiuniang felt it was impolite to ask, she still asked.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Does the lady suspect that I stole this cruise ship? Don't worry about that. This ship is indeed my own, but as long as you take out one or two five dollars, it will belong to you. Up."

"Sister Qiu Niang, did you bring any money?" Qin Xiao finally asked.

"There is a belt." Qiuniang took out her embroidered money bag, feeling as if she was in a dream, she couldn't help handing the money bag to Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao rushed to the middle-aged man and said: "Give him a silver or two. This big brother, we have taken a fancy to this boat. It is sold for one or two silver."

The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Since Young Master Qin has spoken, one or two is one or two."

Qin Xiao hesitated when seeing Qiuniang. He took the money bag from her, opened it, and took one or two years old silver and handed it over. After receiving it, the middle-aged man took out a deed letter from his arms and handed it to Qiu. Mother said: "This is the deed book. With this deed book in hand, you can prove that the cruise ship belongs to you." When Qiuniang took the deed book, she pointed to the north and said, "Go ahead two miles. Yushi Wharf, your cruise ship has a special docking position there. We have paid the docking fee for three years, so starting from today, you can park the boat there anytime within three years without anyone I will ask you to collect pennies."

Of course, cruise ships cannot be carried home. There will be docks in the rivers of Kyoto. After the cruise ships dock, they will be guarded to ensure the safety of the cruise ships. However, they need to pay a docking fee. Because the docking is not fixed, the docks are based on the day Fees, every time you stop, regardless of the length of time, you will be charged two cents. The price is not too expensive. However, you have to draw five or six hundred cents in a year. If you change it into silver, it costs about five cents. There are many ships. Half a month’s earnings.

Now Yushi Wharf has paid the docking fee for three years, which is nearly two taels of silver, one tael to buy the ship, but the other party has paid the docking fee of two taels of silver, and Qiuniang is a little confused.

The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, took the one or two silvers into his arms, arched his hands, and turned away.

When the middle-aged man has gone far away, Qiuniang thought for a moment, turned her head to look suspiciously at Qin Xiao, she is naturally not stupid, this time buying a boat is very strange, and she hasn’t understood it until now. Qin Xiao glared at him and said, "You made the ghost?"

"What?"

"Don't think I don't know." Qiuniang said slightly annoyed: "You two have joined together to lie to me. That person is not stupid or stupid. He looks very shrewd. This boat is worth twenty taels. No matter how stupid he is, he can’t sell it to me for a couple of silver. You paid the silver first, didn’t you?"

Qin Xiao touched his ears, just smiled, noncommittal.

Qiu Niang glared at him again and turned away. Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Sister Qiu Niang, don't be angry. If I buy you money directly, you will never agree. I I have inquired that the business of cruise ships has been prosperous recently. Old ships are hard to find, and the tide is rising. It is really difficult for your money to buy a boat. A boat is too important for you and Brother Gu. If you delay it, yours The situation can only be more and more difficult."

Qiu Niang knew that he was telling the truth, so she sighed.

Sigh.

"I have no choice but to do this." Qin Xiao said: "With this boat, even if I leave Beijing, I will leave with peace of mind."

Qiu Niang knows that Qin Xiao is really kind, and it is not easy to get angry at him, so she can only say: "I told you before, we don't...!"

"I understand!" Qin Xiao interrupted immediately: "I know how you and Brother Gu are. But Brother Gu and I are friends. What are friends? It is to help each other when they are in trouble. I was in a predicament before. If it weren't for Brother Gu, the consequences would be disastrous. At that time, he would have regarded me as a friend." Slightly approached Qiuniang and whispered, "I was injured by an arrow that night. If it weren't for you, I would have died. On the street. You all stretched out your hands when I was in trouble. Now that Ms. Qiu Niang is in a little trouble, I stretched out my hand to help. Is there anything wrong?"

Qiu Niang lowered her head, thoughtful.

This boat is really too important to the Gu family. Of course Qiuniang cannot accept Qin Xiao's silver or two, but this boat really does not know how to refuse.

"I lent this boat to you." Qin Xiao said: "You use it first. Next time I return to Beijing, if you earn money, you can buy another one by yourself. Anyway?"

Qiu Niang was startled, thinking that if Qin Xiao borrowed the boat, it was not unacceptable. After thinking about it for a while, she said: "You tell the truth, how did you get this boat? If you don’t tell me, I won’t borrow it. ."

Qin Xiao knew that Qiuniang had actually agreed to borrow the boat in her heart, but she couldn't save her face, she looked for steps, and smiled: "Then I said, you will accept the boat."

Qiu Niang nodded and gave a soft hmm.

"I went to the boathouse five days ago and found them to order the best cruise ship." Qin Xiao said: "I asked them to deliver the goods within five days and sell it to you for a couple of silver ."

"Five days?" Qiuniang glanced at the cruise ship and said: "This cruise ship cannot be built without ten and a half months."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Five days and five nights, that is ten days."

Qiu Niang looked at Qin Xiao, she was very happy, and knew in her heart that if it weren't for the big price that Chuanfang couldn't refuse, Chuanfang would not be able to build such a cruise ship in five days.

She didn't know what to say for a while.

Qin Xiao tied the reins of the Black Overlord to the tree and didn't talk nonsense. He jumped on the boat and waved to Qiuniang: "Sister Qiu Niang, let’s hear the boat at Yushi Dock first, and wait until tomorrow. Start work, and later we will buy some good wine and food to go back, and we will celebrate together when Brother Gu returns home."

Qiu Niang sighed faintly, got on the boat, circled the cruise ship, and looked at it inside and out. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and the pretty face that had been a little troubled gradually relaxed. , Picked up the poles on the boat, a little bit in the water, the cruise ship went to Yushi Wharf.

Yushi Wharf is not far away. I entered the wharf. It was only in the afternoon. Most of the cruise ships were doing business outside. A few cruise ships sparsely docked. As soon as Qiuniang’s cruise ships entered the wharf, Compared with the cruise ship, it stands out from the crowd, and immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Qiu Niang couldn't help but straighten up her full chest. There was still a bit of triumph between her eyebrows, she just felt that she was really handsome at this time.

The watchman at the pier enthroned Qiuniang’s cruise ship and issued a ticket. When picking up the ship, you can get it with the ticket. And as the middle-aged man said before, the ship can dock at any time within three years. At Yushi Wharf, there is no need to pay a penny of copper.

Naturally, Qiuniang knew that Qin Xiao not only bought it

I got the ship, and I have paid for the docking fee for three years. I smiled bitterly in my heart, more grateful.

Docked the cruise ship and landed ashore, Qiuniang turned her head from time to time, as if she was worried that the ship she had just acquired would fly.

The two are going to the Black Overlord, but they have to pass a long street.

This is Fenglefang, which is also one of the most prosperous cities in Kyoto. There are many restaurants, but the most famous restaurant in Fenglefang is Qingfenglou. Qingfenglou is not only the most famous restaurant in Fenglefang, but also One of the five famous buildings in Kyoto.

Xihucuyu at Qingfenglou, it is said that every fish is salvaged from West Lake, then raised in the water, and sent to Kyoto quickly.

Therefore, many officials often hold banquets in Qingfeng Building.

The street where Qin Xiao and two of them walked is passing by the Qingfeng Building in the Eaves Painting Building.

As she passed Qingfeng Tower, Qiuniang couldn't help but glanced inside, but she quickly looked back.

Qin Xiao patted his stomach suddenly and said: "Sister Qiu Niang, I'm hungry."

"I'll go back and cook quickly." Qiuniang said hurriedly, thinking that Qin Xiao gave herself a boat today, and she should be extravagant for everything she said. Buy some good dishes, show his hands and make some dishes for Qin Xiao Good food.

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "When I rush home, I will be hungry. There is a restaurant here. Let's go in and eat a few bites and fill up our stomachs."

"Eating here?" Qiuniang hurriedly said in a low voice, "It's very expensive. I heard that the people who enter and leave are officials and wealthy rich men. A meal will cost at least four or five taels of silver. I also heard that some people can eat hundreds of taels of silver for a meal. This is not a place where we can go in."

While speaking, a few people with big bellies came out of the restaurant, and immediately two carriages approached. Several people got on the carriage drunk, and the carriage quickly left.

"We can't go to the palace. Why can't we enter the small restaurant?" Qin Xiao said with a low voice and chuckles, "Let's taste the taste of the wine and dishes here, go, let's go in." Without any explanation, he went into the restaurant. Qiuniang was a little helpless. Seeing Qin Xiao going inside, although she hesitated, she still followed. She just walked towards the magnificent restaurant, she was really a little nervous.

Fortunately, Qingfeng Building won’t be forbidden to enter because you’re a commoner. The visitor is a guest. Qin Xiao took Qiuniang and sat down at a table on the first floor. This restaurant has three floors, the first floor It is an individual guest, the second floor is seven or eight elegant rooms, and the third floor is said to be a place where only dignitaries can go up.

Qin Xiao was dressed in common clothes and Qiuniang was dressed up as a boat girl. After the two sat down, many guests from left and right looked over, and soon showed contempt.

Many of the guests on this floor are literati and gentlemen, and some are merchants from other places. In the eyes of these people, people like Qin Xiao and Qiuniang shouldn't have appeared in the restaurant.

Qin Xiao was upright, ignoring the weird gazes around him, but Qiuniang looked a little embarrassed, fidgeting, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands, afraid to look at other people.

"What do you two have to eat?" Xiao Er came up and pointed to the cutting board hung on the wall. It was made of pieces of bamboo. He invited a literati with excellent calligraphy to write on it. After the name of the dish, there are thirty-two pieces of bamboo, with thirty-two special dishes written in Qingfeng Tower. There are eight rows from top to bottom, each with four dishes. The more dishes on the top, the more expensive they are.

Qin Xiao really didn't know this rule. He saw that the Xihucuyu fish steak was the first in the first row, and he raised his finger to him: "Give me all the top four dishes."
