- The sea area where Lao Wang's family is located is called Qinghai in the water.
When Zhang Ying came here, he finally understood why it was called Qinghai in the Water.
Because this sea is really blue.
Looking at the sky at a glance, the blue sea and the cyan sea are clearly separated, like a piece of cyan jasper placed on a blue silk.
The reason why this sea can look like this is because there are dense seaweeds growing under the sea surface. All kinds of green seagrass are stuffed under the sea surface, forming a large sea grassland.
Such a grassland, looking down from the sky, it is a green sea. So this place is called Qinghai in the water.
The abundance of seaweed must have attracted a large number of fish and shrimps to live here. People who live here can live well by relying on abundant catches.
In Qinghai, there is a big city gathered by human beings. This big city was built from driftwood, using millions of huge driftwood to form a huge wooden city floating on the sea.
This is the city where the old Wang's family is located - Driftwood City.
Zhang Ying fell from the sky into Driftwood City. As soon as she landed in the city, she heard two old women arguing.
"You are a shipworm, what's the point of living in this world, why don't you die?" An old woman cursed at another old woman.
Another old woman retorted fiercely: "I am a shipworm. I will bite the coffin boards of your ancestors and let their corpses be eaten by fish and shrimp. I will also bite off your house. Let you sleep on the streets with your dead ghost son!"
The quarrel between the two old women naturally attracted a group of people to watch. Hearing them scolding so badly, many people shook their heads and said, "No way, no way. Why are you talking so badly?"
However, they didn't seem to want to stop them.
The two old women are the "kings of strong mouths" on the street, how can they admit that they are cowardly, and all kinds of "shipworms", "dead mothers" and "scumbags" emerge in endlessly.
It's just scolding, the two old women are separated by a distance of one foot, and they never make physical contact. You can tell at a glance that you have a lot of experience.
With this distance, if you scold the opponent so much that you lose your size, you can have a buffer distance when you want to hit someone, and you can escape quickly.
Moreover, this distance also allows the spectators around to see clearly. In case someone vomits blood with anger, it is not their responsibility to stand so far away.
Those who point to the other person's face when they curse, and stay only a foot away from others, have never experienced severe beatings by society.
Zhang Ying has not been in contact with ordinary people for a long time, and has not seen such a fierce scolding battle for a long time. He was almost attracted by this scene, and he didn't even have the intention of leaving.
For a long time, the two masters were evenly matched, scolding dryly, and finally stopped tacitly, and went home separately.
The people who watched the excitement dispersed, and some people had a learned smile on their expressions. More people are reminiscing about this fierce scolding battle.
They are all ordinary people, ordinary days are as dull as water, and such excitement can be reminisced for at least several days.
After Zhang Ying watched the excitement, she also left to move on. According to what Lao Wang said, horse brains belong to the poor's jewelry in Driftwood City. As the name suggests, it is something that only the poor will wear.
Of course, for a wealthy businessman like Lao Wang, the vast majority of people in Driftwood City are poor. Walking on the street and stepping on the wooden road, Zhang Ying saw many women with hairpins and earrings dotted with agate on their heads.
The tiny agate is actually not gorgeous in color, nor is it as shiny as crystal, but just that little bit of color becomes the embellishment of ordinary women.
After walking for a while, a stall selling small jewelry attracted Zhang Ying's attention. The owner of this stall is a young man, he is very dark and his skin is not very good, he should be often exposed to the wind and sun.
However, the agate on his booth still attracted Zhang Ying's attention.
His booth was surrounded by a lot of girls and daughters-in-law, all of whom were probably attracted by the agates on his booth. Unlike other agates, his agate is more gorgeous and the color is more beautiful.
It is very rare for a small agate to have this degree of color. But Zhang Ying's keen eyes could see that these small agates were separated.
There are large agates that are not for sale, and have to be divided into small ones for sale. This stall owner is a bit interesting.
He walked slowly to the side of the booth and began to pretend to be picking agate jewelry.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Ying, a big man, stepped in, the other women frowned slightly, and quickly chose their favorite jewelry, paid for it and left.
 He opened the door, almost bumping into her tall nose.
She held the pearl with a complex expression, then bowed to the door of Zhang Ying's room, and then walked away carefully.
On the other side, after Zhang Ying left, the jewelry peddler closed his stall and went home.
He returned to his home, which was a very old wooden house that occupied a large area. Pushing open the door and entering the house, an old woman is busy arranging meals.
Relying on Qinghai, the staple food here is fish, shrimp, shellfish and aquatic plants. These things are very cheap, and eating fish here is a sign of being poor.
Obviously, the hawker's family conditions are not very good.
This old woman brought 10,000 fish meat mixed with sea rice. The sea rice here is not dried shrimp, but real sea rice, which is the fruit of a kind of seaweed. The cooked rice is very sticky, like cake.
The hawker took the sea rice, looked at the sticky bowl of rice in front of him, and suddenly said: "Mom, if there is a chance to make a fortune in front of you, should I give it a go?"
When his old mother heard this, she immediately said nervously: "Son, don't do anything stupid. Although your family is poor, you are the last only seedling of the Wang family! If something happens to you, how can I complain to your dead father?" Confession!" (Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
