Drift [Gone with the Wind Drift Doujin BL]

"I gave your mother and sister a large piece of silk a few days ago, and this afternoon I promised them to go and see what the two ladies did with that piece of silk." Scott changed the subject, and He hurriedly poured the coffee down his throat, "You go back to the hotel and rest first, I'll go to the market in Charleston and Queen Street, and bring them some gifts."

"No." Rhett suddenly uttered a syllable, which seemed very abrupt.His big, bony black hands grabbed Scott's wrist, "I'll go with you."

"Rett!" Scott almost exclaimed, "You haven't slept for at least twenty hours, don't think I can't see your dark circles because your skin is dark like an Indian."

"Haha, don't you think dark circles are actually sexy?" Rhett continued to eat the food on the plate quickly.Scott couldn't help but wonder how Rhett could find time to crack a wisecrack in between chewing and swallowing, as the bread, ham, and fried eggs on the plate disappeared so quickly.

Men are purposeful animals, and shopping is full of efficiency and purpose. Usually once they understand what they need, they will get what they need to buy within 5 minutes.

But today was different. Scott and Rhett strolled slowly on Queen Street, chatting and looking left and right.

In Queen Street, shops are next to each other, satin and cloth, hardware, boots, tobacco, cigars, hats, jewellery, china, seeds, medicines, wine, books, gloves, sweets--anything, it seems, can be found in Charles. In addition to the slower pace of life, Charleston is almost busier than Atlanta.There are also many shopping customers, chic buggies, coachmen in uniforms sitting in open carriages, fashionable passengers... There are also many people walking on foot like Rhett and Scott.

Rhett was very good at shopping, for they dealt in hats, lace, trinkets, and silks with a finer eye than the most fashionable Parisian girl.Rhett would have been called a sissy if he hadn't been so tall and manly.

Looking around aimlessly, he felt strangely calm.Scott heard Rhett's low voice: "This morning, watching the time go by, and the Federation warships are close at hand, my heartbeat is very calm, Scott, this is incredible. I was thinking , if it were you, what would you do, what would you do with this damn sticky problem. But on the other hand, I'm glad you're not there, and if you get caught by the Yankees, you don't have to fight their guns or surrender. "

There was a salty smell on the sea breeze, something like Rhett's coat and hair.

Charleston, the city that gave birth to legends like Ritter, is an ancient city, one of the oldest in the United States.It is located on a long, narrow triangular peninsula between two large tidal rivers that converge in a wide harbor that runs straight to the Atlantic Ocean.

It was first settled in [-], and the early places were full of romantic tenderness and indulgence, which were very different from the brisk pace and puritanical self-denial and strict life of the New England colonies.The sea breeze here blows palm trees and wisterias all year round, and the flowers bloom all year round.The soil is black and fertile, and there are no stones in the field, which cannot hurt the plow; the rivers are rich in fish, crabs, shrimps, turtles, and snakes, and there are endless wild animals in the forest.This is a rich place, a paradise of pleasure.Ships from all over the world are moored in the port, carrying the rice grown by the Charlestonians on the vast farms along the river; they also bring the world's most high-end luxuries and adornments for a few people.This place is the wealthiest city in America.

Due to the unique climate and natural resources, it is further promoted to use money to pursue sensual enjoyment.Every house had a cook and a ballroom, and every lady had brocades imported from France and pearls from India.Various academic groups, music and dance clubs have sprung up, and science and technology colleges and fencing colleges have emerged as the times require.Enlightenment education and sensual enjoyment work together to create a gentle and elegant civilization, which strengthens the acceptance of knowledge and education to dilute the color of incomparable luxury.Charlestonians paint their houses darkly in the colors of the rainbow and decorate shady porches where the sea breeze blows with the scent of roses.Each house has a study room with globes, telescopes and walls filled with books in multiple languages.Every noon, when everyone eats, there are always six dishes, which are served on antique silver plates that are quietly shining and passed down from generation to generation for people to enjoy.Conversation at the table is the best condiment to a meal, and witty words are the ideal condiment.

Shopping in Charleston is indeed one of the great pleasures in life.

They finished shopping on Queen Street, packed up their purchases and sent them home, and then went to the Charleston market.The market is like a bazaar, an oasis of light, warmth, color, and life in the invisible fog before dawn.On each side of the market there is an archway that opens to the street. It is tall and wide. Torches are inserted on the brick columns supporting the archway, illuminating the smiling faces of black female vendors, as well as the bright aprons, headscarves, and all kinds of baskets and clothes in front of them. Goods on a long green wooden table.The market is crowded with people, and most of them are shopping from one stall to another, and their mouths are never idle, chatting and laughing with other customers, or arguing endlessly with vendors.

It seems that this ridiculous custom of bargaining is popular in any country and at any time.

"This flounder is good. I am very partial to this kind of fish with slanted nose and slanted eyes. The meat is firm and delicious, and it is even more rare after adding seasoning sauce." Scott picked out a large and flat fish from the silver basin .

Rhett's eyes were brighter than fish scales with water: "It just so happens that I like flounder very much."

Scott ignored Rhett.He packed the fish and oysters he picked, tied the legs and feet of the flailing crabs with ropes, and picked vegetables at the vegetable stall with his hands and senses like an expert.

Rhett looked at him amusedly and said, "You're such a food expert. Remember when I was eating at a restaurant in New Orleans, and there were a lot of people returning wine that day-the wine was not stored properly, it was sour, but You're the only one who returned the carrots and onions!"

"That's right, the carrots are not fresh, and the onions don't smell like onions. The waiter didn't take it seriously, he looked like a country bumpkin and nouveau riche."

"He adjusted the napkin on his arm and it fell on the floor."
