Chapter 2: Competing with the Sky for Freedom (Part 1)
The VIP column in the train is not only a ticket that can be bought with money, but the columns that can be bought with money are called business columns, but are different from the VIP column. Generally speaking, those who can enter the VIP column are both rich and noble, and they also have to be related. Of course, relatively speaking, the services, facilities, etc. of the VIP column are also the best in the entire train.
After Hao Qi entered the VIP train, he found that there were only a dozen people in the entire train car, and they sat in three places, obviously three families, or three relationships. He didn't look closely and walked directly to an empty seat by the window to sit down. Then he took out a novel from his backpack to pass the boredom of the journey.
There was nothing to say all the way. The train from the Yingguo border to Haitianguo had to travel on the road for about four days and four nights. During this period, all the food and drink were on the train. There was only one transfer station in the middle, there was no city, and there was only a small maintenance station, so these four days and four nights were basically only able to endure the train.
At dinner that day, Hao Qi ordered a special dish from Yingguo, called the Red Wine Squid Worm, which was called the Worm, but it was actually a marine crustacean creature. There were many on the coast, curled about the size of a thumb. Generally speaking, ordinary people can buy some in the market. The eating rules are similar to the shrimps in Hao Qi's previous life. The red Worm Squid Worm he ordered must be the size of an adult's small arm, which is very expensive, and the price is even more expensive than the lobsters in Hao Qi's previous life. Those who can eat are either rich or noble, and only VIP trains can order this train.
Of course, Hao Qi is very interested in eating. Sometimes he thinks, seeing all his wishes and traveling all over the world, is there a big reason for wanting to eat all over the world?
This red wine smoky worm was previously visited Yingguo as a martial arts group. When he asked about shipbuilding, he was treated once by the official Yingguo government. Of course, because it was an official receptionist at that time, Hao Qi could not eat and drink regardless of his image. It was one thing to like to eat, and it was another thing to be polite. At that time, Hao Qi just tasted it briefly, but the taste still made him interested.
When the red wine smoky worm was served, Hao Qi couldn't wait to open the metal lid and saw a red curly sea worm inside. A strong smell came to his nose. Hao Qi immediately moved his index finger, picked up the sea worm with a translucent glove, and directly tore his carapace open.
At this time, a burst of laughter came not far away. Hao Qi looked at him and saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old smiling at him with a red face. There were four or five young men and women around the girl. They all looked at Hao Qi with a forced smile. Hao Qi's face turned slightly red, and he knew that his posture of eating this sea swishworm might be a little wrong, just like in his previous life. Some foods must be done first, then what kind of steps should be eaten, otherwise they would probably be made fun of by the local old diners.
At this time, a handsome young man and woman stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Don't blame me, my little sister is just... just..."
The young man didn't know how to continue. After all, Hao Qi was laughed at, but the impolite person was indeed his little sister. Those who could enter the VIP list were both rich and noble, and he was also afraid of offending someone here. If the other party was narrow-minded, although he was not afraid of trouble, he would eventually make enemies, which was not good.
Hao Qi put down the sea worm and said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's okay, maybe I'm a fool. I'm not a Chinese. This is my first time eating sea worms. Is there anything here?"
Several young men and women breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl who laughed out loud just now also said generously: "This gentleman, this little woman was rude. This sea worm is actually a little different from other sea creatures. Its internal organs are actually concentrated in the back shell. If it is cut open when it is alive, the glands on the back shell will be destroyed, which will cause the smell to be smelly. Therefore, after the best sea worms are caught, they will usually keep them in clean water for a period of time to understand the filth in their body, and then they can be used as ingredients as a whole. When eating, the special diet will cut the cross marks in the soft part of the lower abdomen, and from there you can eat the tender meat inside. Only those who don't know how to eat will eat from the back shell."
When the girl said this, Hao Qi immediately understood that this was the same as the abalone in his previous life. Ordinary abalone was not expensive. Ordinary people could go to the vegetable market to buy a few and go home. They could eat it with boiling water. However, the high-quality dry abalone would be expensive. There are also various requirements for cooking and eating. Only wealthy people can afford it. The sea swarm worm seems to be the same.
He sat in the VIP column, eating the best food, but the eating action was the movement of middle and lower classes. No wonder these young and young girls, who were either rich or noble, laughed out loud.
After the girl explained, the young man who had spoken out before saw that Hao Qi was not angry, and he immediately said, "Brother, there are brothers in the world. Meeting is fate. Why not come and have a few glasses of wine with us?"
Hao Qi pondered for a moment and smiled, "But he was disturbing." He immediately sat in the position given up by one of the young men.
From the movements, clothing, and food, it can be seen that these young people are either rich or noble. They ordered a table of dishes, all of which were light and small plates, but they looked extremely exquisite. There were also a few pots of wine that were obviously brought with them, and a bottle of mutton fat and white jade. After taking a sip, Hao Qi felt the refreshing aroma of the wine, as if it was penetrated into his heart. With the deliciousness of this table, Hao Qi also ate it with praise.
As far as these young people talked, they were all children of the nobles of Yingguo. The purpose of this time was not Haitian Kingdom, but through Haitian Kingdom, he transferred to Baicao Kingdom and participated in the entrance examination of the National Medical University there. From some of their words, we can know that these young men and women are both heroes of Yingguo, with outstanding abilities and received special recommendations from the state. They are almost considered to be designated students of Baicao Kingdom National Medical University. They each brought more than a dozen servants and guards, but the servants and guards were not allowed to enter the VIP list, so their servants and guards were waiting in the business list.
"Although Baicao Kingdom is a small country, this national medical university is not simple. The dean is a high-level internal force who has been renowned for nearly a hundred years. His strength is far better than that of ordinary internal force realms. The professors in universities are almost all quasi-internal force realms, and there are also bachelors from three universities, which are internal force realms. A university has four internal force realms, and occupy half of the internal force realms of Baicao Kingdom, which is almost equivalent to the foundation of Baicao Kingdom's founding." A young man sighed.
Another young man drank a glass of wine and said with sigh: "Actually, I'm sure you are a marquis. Although my Zheng family is a marquis family, my grandfather is the only one in the family. My grandfather is already 120 years old this year. This is a big crisis. This time, the five-year enrollment quota of Baicao Kingdom, which is left in the country and divided by various countries. In the end, I won the country in the end, only ten students from three universities. My family spent the price of the boss to get it. This time, the family was fighting openly and secretly. Although I am the eldest grandson, I finally got a place through martial arts competition. I felt really cold in my heart..."
The other young people also had their faces with their faces. Obviously, the words of this young man reached their pain. Although they looked at the various aristocratic families and enjoyed life that ordinary people could not imagine, in fact, in this world where individuals with internal power and even the internal energy realm have more force than the army, these aristocratic families are also secretly nervous and dare not slacken their own strength at all. If the internal power realm strong people suppress the clan fortune, then these so-called aristocratic families will be destroyed soon.
When many young men and women were lamenting the cruelty under their glamorous appearance, Hao Qi was the only one who ate and drank without any scruples, and only treated the sorrow of these young men and women as a dish, but did not put it in their own hearts at all.
At the beginning, the young man who greeted Hao Qi was named Xu Haoming. He was actually paying attention to Hao Qi's expression and movements. Seeing that Hao Qi didn't care about the sorrow of the aristocratic family, he moved his heart and raised a glass of wine to toast Hao Qi. Then he said, "I wonder if Brother Hao Qi is going to Haitian Kingdom? Or to Baicao Kingdom? Or to other countries?"
Hao Qi drank this glass of wine, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "My destination is Haitian Kingdom. I heard that Haitian Kingdom's shipbuilding technology is the best country in the eastern region of the Blue Ocean, and it has navigation technology that penetrates the blue ocean, which can effectively avoid various sea beasts, so I plan to go there to see it."
Xu Haoming pondered for a moment and said, "Does Brother Hao Qi's family involve shipbuilding? Although Haitian Kingdom's shipbuilding technology is indeed the best country in the eastern part of the Blue Ocean, this country has been different from the political system of most of our countries since its establishment. This country is a commercial country with no nobles, and has very strict technical controls on the commercial and navigation fields. If Brother Hao Qi intends to obtain Haitian Kingdom's technology for his family, then it will be really difficult."
