Chapter 416 Is It As Sweet As You?
"Lady, please spare my life, please spare my life..."
"Since you have been working hard for the past month, I will spare your life. However, if I find out that you do evil again, the poison in your body will kill you at any time."
The pirate leader's heart skipped a beat, "Please, please give me the antidote, lady."
Su Ying glanced at him coldly, "Are you pushing your luck?"
The pirate leader's face tightened, "No, I don't dare."
Su Ying got off the boat without looking back.
The officers thought their boss was still having fun in the cabin, so they all went ashore to wait.
After Su Ying and the others left, the pirate leader ran to the cabin, pushed open the door, and saw the officer hanging in the room.
The officer had been beaten so badly that he was unconscious. The pirate leader did not want to offend the Jin government, so he quickly took the officer down and threw him onto a small boat, then sailed away without looking back.
By the time the officers discovered the problem, Su Ying and her companions had already disappeared.
Queque lay on Motu's shoulder, looking around curiously with her big eyes. This was her first time leaving the island and also her first time seeing the outside world.
There were so many people coming and going on the dock that no one would notice them.
"Are you hungry, Queque? Let's go eat something first?" Mo Tu said, looking at Su Ying.
Su Ying was also hungry. After being on the boat for so long, her legs still felt a little weak when her feet touched the ground.
"good."
There is a busy street outside the pier with all kinds of shops on the street. Motu chose a relatively busy restaurant and walked in.
The three of them walked into the restaurant lobby and sat down. As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over to greet them enthusiastically.
"What would you like to eat, my dear guests? We have fresh seafood every day, and today we got a big fish. Would you like to try some?"
After a month's boat ride and eating fish all day, Su Ying was really fed up. After asking Queque and the others what they wanted to eat, Su Ying ordered a few meat dishes in addition to seafood.
The restaurant's kitchen was efficient and soon all the dishes were served.
Su Ying took out some copper coins from her pocket and gave them to the waiter. "Brother, we are here to buy something. We are not familiar with this place, so we want to ask you, where in Jin is this place? Can we get to Chu from here?"
Motu raised his eyelids but said nothing.
The waiter got the reward and said quickly, "You are from overseas, right? We are in Haiyang City. The east, west, south and north are surrounded by sea except for the north which leads to the inland. It is far from the State of Chu. You have to go north. Go to the bookstore and buy a map. There are clear markings on it. Are you going to the State of Chu to do business or to look for relatives?"
Su Ying said, "There is something going on, but we only have a temporary pass to Jin State, so I'm afraid we can't go that far."
The waiter hissed, "This isn't a big deal. You just need to spend some money to get a passport from the government. But you need connections to get it done. Not everyone can get one."
"Is there any broker who does this?" Motu took out some copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table.
The waiter smiled even more when he saw the money. "Yes, yes. As you know, our Haiyang City is close to the sea, and there are many customers like you. If you need anything, I will find it for you right away."
"Thank you very much."
Su Ying found that the dishes in Haiyang City were sweet, and she didn’t like them very much.
"Although this chicken is a little bland, it's fried in oil and will suit your taste better."
Su Ying looked at the chicken that was pushed in front of her and looked at him in surprise.
Motu did not avoid her gaze, but moved closer to her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Ying stepped back a little and distanced herself from him, "You observe very carefully."
Motu smiled, his eyes full of charm, "I cooked all the meals you ate in the past month."
Su Ying took a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth, but she looked at him with a warning, "Don't look at me like that." With aggression, "I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you up."
The smile on Motu's face was really stiff, "Women are just boring."
When the three men had finished eating, the waiter came back with the broker, a middle-aged man with a goatee, known as Pepsi Gao.
"Where are you planning to go? There are several types of customs clearance. One is for a month, and the other is for a year. For outsiders like you who don't have Ding status in Jin State, the most you can get is a one-year customs clearance. If you want to stay longer, it's better to get a one-year customs clearance."
In a year, Su Ying should have left Jin State.
"How much silver is required for a one-year term?"
"Five taels of silver per person, it can be done tomorrow at the earliest."
They didn't understand the market situation, but five taels was within an acceptable range for Su Ying.
She took five taels of silver and told Gao Yanming that she would make up the rest after the matter was done.
Originally, the cost of making this thing was only a dozen copper coins, and this money was all favors. Pepsi Gao also agreed and agreed to hand over the customs clearance documents to them at this restaurant at noon tomorrow.
After the discussion, Su Ying and her friends left the restaurant and found a nearby inn to stay.
Seeing that Queque was in high spirits, Motu decided to take her to the street to play.
Su Ying also wanted to understand the situation here, so she followed them.
As a coastal city with developed commerce, Haiyang City is very lively, with the streets filled with merchants and pedestrians passing by.
Queque found everything new and interesting, so Motu followed her lovingly and bought her a bunch of little gadgets.
"Try it and see if it's as sweet as you."
Motu put a string of candied haws to Su Ying's mouth.
Su Ying took the candied haws and took a bite. She felt that what Motu said sounded awkward. "Human flesh is not sweet."
Motu: “…”
"Wontons. Delicious big meat wontons."
Queque looked at the street vendors with sparkling eyes.
"Brother, are the wontons delicious?"
Motu held her hand and said, "If you want to eat it, I will buy it for you."
"I want to eat."
Su Ying looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so she decided to have dinner here.
The three of them sat down on chairs. This wonton shop was a stall set up on the street, and a young couple was running the business.
Seeing the three people sitting down on the chairs, he walked over and greeted them warmly, "Dear guests, please take a seat."
"Three bowls of wontons, please." Mo Tu said, but then he felt that it was not enough and turned to look at Su Ying, "Is one bowl enough?"
Su Ying raised an eyebrow and glanced at the bowls on the next table and said, "Not enough."
As if he had thought of it long ago, Motu smiled and said to the boss: "Then give me five bowls first, and we can add more if it's not enough."
"Okay."
"Eat the wontons first. If you're still not full, I'll buy you something else on the way." After Mo Tu said this, he realized that there was a gentleness in his tone that he had not expected.
