Chapter 1 The Kaleidoscope Age(2/2)
Different from other ships, this kind of sea-going ship is an exploration ship used to sail in dangerous sea areas with dense whirlpools and extremely changing sea currents. Its function is to go deep into dangerous sea areas and find stable routes.
"Beep--" The steam ironclad in the distance discharged the gas from the internal boiler and made a long sound.
After stepping off the treasure ship, Lorraine Hill felt that there were a lot of fine cinders on the pier under his feet. That kind of fine black powder was not easy to clean off.
Looking into the distance on the island, you can still see two chimneys standing tall, emitting thick black smoke.
The shops on the street were crowded, and most of them were sailors who had disembarked from the ship and came to dine or drink tea.
Compared with the conservative, introverted and quiet scenery of the inland, the seaport cities with developed commerce and trade have a more open and rough dock culture. Many dock workers who carry goods will stand shirtless and drink by tea shops.
water, and then wipe the sweat with a towel placed on your shoulders.
"Steam tea, delicious and novel steam tea~"
In front of a shop on the street, there is a big bronze metal thing, which is shaped like a ball. There is a stand underneath for burning firewood. There are several meters with rivets on it, and there are several raised nut covers on the top.
One of them was also jacked up and kept spinning, making regular whistle sounds.
Looking at this slightly novel alchemical creation, Lorraine Hill couldn't help but walk over, and at this time, someone was already asking about it in front of the stall.
"How do you sell this, or what exactly is it?" A passing customer asked curiously.
"Hey, I won't be able to explain this for a while, but you'll know after you look at it. It's not expensive, five copper coins a cup." After saying that, the man placed six cups in front of the case, and then unscrewed the large bronze sculpture.
From the small faucet next to his belly, a stream of boiling liquid spurted out.
The strong man skillfully held the cups alternately, filled each cup, and then quickly turned the faucet off.
The six cups in front of me are currently filled with amber tea, and the air is filled with a hot and refreshing aroma of tea. Looking inside the cups, there are countless tiny bubbles floating and exploding, expelling more tea.
aroma.
"Look, everyone, this is our unique steam tea. It tastes extraordinary. Drink it while it's hot and bubbles. It's like a fairy-like enjoyment." He boasted, and then attracted more people's attention.
It was the first time for many people to see this thing, and they were very surprised and novel. Many people also started to pay money to taste it, and then showed expressions of surprise.
"How about it? Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it! It's really fresh." Several guests replied with their mouths smacking.
"Very, good, drinkable." One of the businessmen from the Western Continent also gave a thumbs up.
Looking at this scene, Lorraine Hill, who was standing behind the crowd, showed a funny expression.
How should I put this? It's like mixing soda and tea. It seems a bit nondescript to her, but in the eyes of these people now, it may be novel and acceptable?
New technologies always bring new ideas. Although most of them are similar to the past historical trajectory, there will always be unexpected developments. Perhaps in the future, cola has not become popular yet, and this kind of soda tea will take the lead.
Already.
Lowering the sunhat on her head, Lorraine Hill, wearing a light green dress, slowly retreated from the crowd.
"Sister Luo Lan, where were you just now?" Ye Ling found the girl in the crowd at this time. She had run away alone just now.
"Let's go and see some new things. Let's go shopping first. The fleet will stay here for a few days."
It has to be said that in the harbor of the Pearl Islands, there is now a scene that makes people feel a huge sense of fragmentation. You can see oriental women wearing skirts, and you can also see elves in short skirts and hunting suits.
There are Western mercenaries wearing breastplates or half-body armor, there are also Eastern warriors wearing scale armor and carrying maces on their backs, there are alchemists wearing monocles and carrying various metal gadgets, and there are also those wearing fluttering clothes and warm jade at their waists.
Practitioner.
In this era when technology has not yet fully diffused and cultures from all over the world have not yet fully communicated, this short period of time when the old and the new coexist, and various cultures coexist, are as colorful and vivid as a kaleidoscope.
