第一节湄洲屿
“台州黄岩县松门山弟子周颖思，讨海为业。龙腾小说网ltxs520.com前岁贩货倭国，海上忽遇风浪，几有船沉人亡之忧。端赖通贤灵女庇佑，红光护持，方得平安归航。弟子酬谢神恩，请建戏台、梳妆楼，以娱灵女。”在香烟袅袅中，青年男子低声祝祷完毕，转过身来点燃万响鞭炮。震耳欲聋的爆竹声中，福建路兴化军莆田县湄洲屿上“通贤灵女庙”的前殿恩波殿与梳妆楼正式宣告落成。这通贤灵女，本名林默娘，即是今日沿海诸省，乃至于南洋海外备受崇敬的“妈祖”。妈祖在元世祖至元十八年被封为“护国明着天妃”，等到清康熙廿三年更被晋封为“护国庇民妙灵昭应仁慈天后”。不过此时，祂还只是闽浙沿海讨海人口中的“神仙女”、“龙女”，莆田人则尊称为“通贤灵女”。虽然未曾受朝廷册封，却时常显灵。每当舟船遇风海潮汹涌时，舟船上的人祈求默娘保佑，如在桅樯上或风浪中出现“妈祖火”的红光，就表示祂已在暗中护佑，舟船即可安然脱险。
自石越守杭大兴市舶以后，两浙路变成为大宋朝海外贸易的重点地区，华夷客商云集杭州。以地利之便，此时大宋海商，自然也以两浙路居多。此间纵有像唐家这样的豪商，自拥船队，有舟数十。不过，更多的是，拼着身家造上一两条船，以求谋食海外的中小海商。此番鸠资修建恩波殿与梳妆楼的周颖思，正是去年在东海之上，托通贤灵女庇佑而幸免海难的两浙路小海商。家中不过有船两条，专走日本航线，带上些绢帛、棉布、蔗糖、瓷器、荔枝、茶叶，乃至转手南洋所产的香药，到日本交换黄金、硫磺、刀剑、纸扇等，再回到中国转售图利。其所经营蕃货之中，以倭刀最为名贵，享有“宝刀”称誉，连大文豪欧阳修都曾写过《日本刀歌》称赞。平素若以太刀相质，每把可赁六、七百匹绢。在这样的情形下，倭刀自然成为抢手商品。只是市舶务对兵器管制较严，而倭刀成本又高。周颖思家的船，每趟出海回来能带个十来把，就算是多的了。周颖思真正主要经营的货物是硫磺。当时整个大陆的硫磺产量非常少，自从朝廷发展火器以来，军事与民间的双重需求，不但导致了大宋每年动辄从倭国进口数万斤的硫磺，更是拉高了硫磺的价格。只是当时杭州市舶司官船每每自载硫磺贩卖，加上江南十八家联合商号的争食，能够落到像周颖思这样小海商手里的货源，其实有限得很。今日周颖思虽建庙还愿谢神，庆幸怒海余生，但心中对自家生意的前景还是充满忧虑。
“守愚，此次来莆田，除却酬神还愿外，可还有他事要办？可要顺道福州买些荔枝，贩往倭国？”
周颖思转头对身旁之人苦笑一下，说道：“现下市舶倭国颇为艰难，我本钱既非雄厚，船只又少，恐怕要考虑转航南洋，贩些香药。还是荫亭有以教我？”陈祖琛闻言答道：“改贩香药，不失为一条出路。不过，硫磺利厚，守愚舍得放弃？”
“硫磺，除倭国外，别无他处可求。我就两条船，难不成分走倭国与南洋，鱼与熊掌得兼吗？更何况，现下杭州市舶官船与江南巨商，几近垄断硫磺生意，就算我有意于此，恐怕也是时不我予！不过残羹剩肴罢了！”周颖思略显丧气地回道。
“守愚所言虽是，不过以天下之大，九州岛之阔，难道就无他处有产硫磺吗？”陈祖琛略带促狭地回答周颖思。
陈祖琛，字荫亭，福建路福州闽清县人。家中世业种植荔枝，不但以红盐法腌渍荔枝为果脯，远销外至北戎西夏，东南舟行到高丽、日本、流求、大食；又以荔枝酿酒，以其色泽金黄，甚受喜爱。只不过这陈家惮于舟波之险，都是卖予海商，不自己舟运贩卖的。周陈两家不单是合作伙伴，更有戚谊。虽然陈祖琛自己不敢出海，却喜欢听海商水手们谈论异地奇闻。每有熟识舟船入港，总会邀请海商或是老练水手到闽江畔自家宅中，飨以红糟鸡、淡糟香螺片、太平燕饺等等福州名菜。饭后甜点的芋泥，则必不可少。陈家厨子所做的“太极芋泥”，是用槟榔芋蒸熟后除去皮和筋，压成细泥状，拌上红枣肉、冬瓜条等果料再蒸透取出，加白糖、猪油等拌匀成芋泥，然后再用瓜子仁、樱桃在芋泥上面装饰成太极图案。这才出锅的热芋泥滚烫之至，却并不冒热气。颜色暗红发亮，油润光滑，犹如双鱼卧伏盘中，色香俱全，可是福州城里一绝。有美食相飨，佐以香甜的荔枝酒，哪还怕这些个油滑水手，不如竹筒里倒豆子般将海上奇闻一一吐出吗？！
就这样，陈祖琛肚子里一堆奇闻怪谈。每当谈起海上故事，那陈祖琛可是眉飞色舞，彷佛亲见一般。不知情者，还以为他是老于海上生活的积年海商。周颖思是见怪不怪了。就连他自己去年东海遭风浪，却在一片晦暗当中见到“妈祖火”指引方向一事，也让陈祖琛用南普陀寺里的两道斋菜：“半月沉江”和“丝路菇云”，给硬挤出来。虽然陈祖琛语多怪奇，不过谈起海上奇事，也不是漫无根据地信口开河。
“荫亭，你可知道当海上黑云四布，星光尽掩之际，何以视物？”周颖思知道他这位姻亲，最耐不得卖关子。若有奇事，非要追根究底。所以故意不顺陈祖琛的话接下去，反而以海上奇闻来勾引他，算是对陈祖琛的小小报复。果不其然，陈祖琛马上便按耐不住好奇心，赶忙追问：“何以？”
“海上夜黑不见一物，则击水以视。”
“守愚，你当我傻子？击水岂能视物！哈，某知之矣。你气我不告诉你去哪找硫磺，所以信口开河编造故事来诓我，对吧！”
“荫亭，你我自小一起长大，我可曾骗过你？”
“有！”陈祖琛冷不防地来这句，出乎周颖思预料之外。让周颖思气急败坏地反驳道：“哪有此事？”
“哼，你上回骗我说鱼脍佐以山葵泥是人间至味，哪知冲辣无比，害我眼泪直流，头皮发麻。”
