The next day, after lunch.
"Yuzhu, find me a set of clothes."
"Yes, Young Master."
Yuzhu walked to the wardrobe and asked as she rummaged through it, "Young Master, are you going out?"
"Yes, I'm going out for a walk."
He looked at the long black robe that Yuzhu found. There was a faint 'Zhou' word on the waist.
"Change it."
Yuzhu was stunned and asked, "Young Master, is there anything that you don't like?"
"No." Zhou Fu shook his head. "Find something inconspicuous."
Yuzhu understood and replied, "Okay, I'll change it now."
After a while, she took out a dark gray coat. Although the color was dim, one could see that the material of the coat was exquisite.
Zhou Fu changed into it, took some money, and walked out of the house.
He did not let the servants follow him. He went out of the alley and found an ox cart.
This kind of ox cart was similar to a taxi.
It had a comfortable and stable carriage that could allow people to rest.
The Zhou family's house was located in the southeast of Ning An City.
In Ning An City, there was a large river that ran through the east and west.
Therefore, on the east and west city walls, there was a huge arched hole that allowed some merchant ships and transport vehicles to enter.
Of course, it was not for ships to enter and exit at will.
Both sides of the river and the city wall were not only heavily guarded, but there was also a huge water gate that could be lowered at any time.
"Young Master, we're here."
Zhou Fu handed a few coins to the coachman. The coachman took the money, thanked him, and drove away.
"Is this the dock in the city …"
Not far away, a large river about a kilometer wide lay in front of him.
Zhou Fu stood on the south bank. A few hundred meters away, there was a platform that was thousands of square meters in size. Part of it extended into the river.
There were several straight paths that extended from the platform.
On one side of these straight paths, some ships were docked.
Many bare-chested men were yelling as they unloaded bags of goods from the ship.
Then, small carts pushed the goods ashore.
Behind the dock, on both sides of the street, there were many shops and restaurants.
Among them, there were more than ten restaurants close to the street.
Sea Return Restaurant was a restaurant that was four stories tall. It was situated on the street and its location was pretty good.
Although it was already past mealtime, more than half of the tables on the first floor were still occupied.
"Yo ~ Young Master, are you here to eat or stay?"
When Zhou Fu walked in, the restaurant's waiter came up to greet him.
"Let's eat."
"Alright ~" The servant said, "Young Master, it's much quieter upstairs. What do you think?"
The upper floor was definitely better than the main hall, but there was a price to pay. There was a minimum price for the upper floor. If one couldn't afford it, they would have to pay extra.
"No, just the first floor. Find a quiet place."
As soon as he said this, the smile on the servant's face faded a little. After all, he would have extra income if he lured Zhou Fu upstairs.
"There's a window seat inside, please."
After Zhou Fu sat down, he sipped his tea while listening to the conversations around him.
"Motherf * cker, I've encountered it this time.
I just brought back a few ships of grain from the north. I thought it would be enough to break even.
Who knew that just as I arrived, someone bought the goods before I could unload them. "
The person who spoke was the owner of the ship. He looked a little sad and didn't look happy at all after selling his goods.
He continued, "I thought it was a good thing, but when I got off the ship and asked around, I almost fainted from anger."
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of laughter came from the side, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"You're talking about the disaster in Heyang City right?"
The owner of the ship slapped his thigh and sighed, "Motherf * cker, isn't it!
If I knew about this earlier, I could have earned more. These bastards only know how to bully honest people like me. "
The owner of the ship's words caused a wave of laughter. Honest people? No one would believe that.
"You don't have to be angry. You're not the only one who was fooled."
"Oh?"
This sentence made the owner of the ship interested. He asked, "Is there a lot?"
"As long as there are ships transporting grain from the outside, none of them were left behind.
Some were even more unlucky. While they were on the road, the Red Sea gang or the Giant Whale bought their grain.
At first, those people were happy. But when they got off the dock, they were all cursing! "
"Hahahaha!" The owner of the ship laughed, "Hearing you say that, I feel much better."
People, if they were the only ones who were unlucky, then they were really unlucky.
If the same unlucky thing happened to a group of people, then he would feel much better. Not only that, he would also laugh at those who were even more unlucky than him.
Just like this owner of the ship. "I didn't expect that there would be someone even more unlucky than me. Being bought off halfway, hahahaha!"
"What are you laughing at!"
On the other side, a middle-aged man scolded.
The owner of the ship wasn't someone to be trifled with. He turned his head and scolded back, "I'm talking, it's none of your business."
The person who explained to the owner of the ship said, "This is the one who was even more unlucky than you."
Pu ~
The owner of the ship spat out a mouthful of wine.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
He didn't expect that the owner of the ship was right next to him. Even if the owner of the ship had a thick face, he still felt embarrassed.
"This brother, it was a slip of the tongue. I apologize to you."
The owner of the ship took two wine bowls, filled them with wine, and walked over.
This matter wasn't a big deal, but it was a bit embarrassing. The man took the wine bowl from the owner of the ship and sighed, "This brother is right.
By the way, how much did you sell it for? "
The owner of the ship reported a number. The man's face turned even uglier. He raised his wine bowl and clinked it with the owner of the ship. He drank it in one gulp, and then his whole person looked even more depressed.
At this time, the people around them could see that the man was selling himself cheap.
"F * cking Red Sea gang!
They cheated me so miserably! "The man gritted his teeth and said.
"Be careful with your words. This restaurant is the territory of the Red Sea gang." A man at the next table reminded him.
The man frowned and said in a deep voice, "Red Sea gang?
Isn't the owner of Sea Return Restaurant surnamed Zhou?
How did it become the Red Sea gang? "
"That owner surnamed Zhou is from the Zhou family of Heyang City.
And that Zhou family has some dealings with the Red Sea gang. It's said that the Red Sea gang has quite a big business in Heyang City. "
That person continued, "A month ago, Heyang City met with a disaster. That Zhou family was naturally the first to bear the brunt, so this …" What followed was a burst of self-evident laughter.
"So that's how it is." The man's expression was a bit strange. There was a sigh, and there was also disdain.
"Sirs, sirs."
The owner of the restaurant walked over and cupped his hands, "Please do a good deed. Don't talk nonsense about these things."
The situation in front of him was happening every day recently.
But every time he heard it, he felt uncomfortable. After all, he used to be a member of the Zhou family.
"Who the f * ck didn't watch their mouth and farted here!
Who dares to talk bad about the Red Sea gang? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? "
An arrogant voice came from the second floor. Everyone looked over and saw three men in dark red martial arts attire walking down.
