Yun Zhao chuckled: "Now that you're back, you can eat and drink to your heart's content."

"This is a must!"

Qiu San Niang answered without hesitation.

Her ship was still behind, and it was estimated that it would take another half a day to arrive. She had already made arrangements, and the first mate, second mate, and crew knew exactly where the cargo should be unloaded after the ship docked.

She has plenty of time to wander around.

After the two went ashore and entered the city, they first went to a clothing shop. Qiu Sanniang bought a new set of clothes and changed out of Yun Zhao's ill-fitting robe.

Then wander through the streets and alleys, savoring the unique delicacies of southern Vietnam.

Glutinous rice chicken, pig's feet with ginger, fish ball noodles, bowl-shaped rice cake, roast suckling pig, almond tofu, chicken biscuits...

There are many things Yun Zhao has never tasted.

"I had no idea there were so many delicious foods in Southern Vietnam."

As the two sat on the second floor of a beverage shop, Yun Zhao sighed.

Qiu Sanniang glanced at him: "You usually only eat at restaurants, right?"

Yun Zhao nodded.

He spends most of his time at sea and very little time in the city. He rarely wanders around and only knows a few big restaurants in the city, so he naturally eats at those restaurants.

After finishing her drink, Qiu San Niang smiled and said, "From now on, I'll be your local guide and take you to eat all the delicacies of Southern Yue."

Just as she finished speaking, a whooshing sound came from outside the window. She looked over instinctively and saw only thick smoke spreading outwards.

"Is that a fire alarm? Is there a fire over there?"

Yun Zhao laughed: "No, it's a steam train. The line just opened at the beginning of the year. It can take you directly from Nan Yue to the capital in two days."

Qiu San Niang's eyes lit up.

Can it carry cargo?

"Yes, but you need to book in advance. The train has twelve carriages, but only two are used for cargo."

Qiu Sanniang immediately asked him to take her to the train station.

Yun Zhao naturally obeyed without question.

After seeing the colossal machine that was as tall as a building and as long as a street, Qiu Sanniang exclaimed from the bottom of her heart: "I have traveled all over the continent and I have never seen any country with such machinery. Our Great Xi is really amazing."

Yun Zhao wholeheartedly agreed.

Since Yi Shuihan took power, Da Xi has changed every day. Every industry has undergone tremendous changes, and the lives of the people are getting better day by day.

I heard that Wei Yan also invented a gasoline internal combustion engine that can replace the steam engine. It can be used not only on trains, but also on horse-drawn carriages and ships.

It is said that gasoline internal combustion engines produce less smoke, run faster, and can be much smaller in size.

At that time, their navy will no longer need to row by manpower, and can switch to machinery.

After he told Qiu Sanniang all this, Qiu Sanniang couldn't wait to see it for herself:

"Once my fleet docks, I'll take some things to the capital to see Qingyin. You haven't been back to the capital for a long time, have you? Would you like to go back together?"

The last time Yun Zhao returned to the capital was when Yun Shu got married. Now that Yun Shu is about to give birth, he naturally wants to go back to see her. His request for leave has already been approved.

He nodded and said, "I'm going back."

After finishing, he paused for a moment, then asked somewhat nervously, "After we return to the capital, would you be willing to come home with me to see my grandmother?"
