Chapter 215 Recognition
Huo Xi made a coconut chicken hot pot for Huo Nian, and Pi Xiaozi was thinking about it.
Said that whoever wants to take the coconut has to get his consent. I was afraid of being stolen, so I insisted on staying on the boat to guard the coconuts. Huo Xi coaxed him to take him to ride a camel before agreeing to disembark with him.
In the next few days, the family went shopping at the pier again and bought a lot of things.
For example, the oily red cloth. Few people care about it, and it costs one, two or five dollars a piece.
This oilcloth can be used in many ways, such as the umbrella surface of the oil umbrella, or the awning of the car, but, your oilcloth is painted bright red, uh...
Imagine, in the distance, a carriage wrapped in a big red oilcloth is coming...
Uh, the picture is surprisingly beautiful, and the painting style is unique.
Seeing that no one wanted it, the price dropped again and again.
Huo Xi walked up and down in front of the stall selling oiled red cloth for several days, and didn't plan to ask for it.
Just when the price dropped to one tael of silver a buck, he made a decisive move and bought them all.
After I bought it back, I comforted myself that this thing can be used as a car canopy, and it can be made in a large area with a unique style of painting, but how about making it into a wedding canopy? Is it festive enough?
Sent to the north to make kang cloth, what about the table? Another example is that in a white snowy day, wearing a coir raincoat made of oil-red cloth and walking in the wilderness, you will not be connected with the four fields and you will not be able to recognize it, will you?
Probably, probably, it can be sold, right?
Picking up leaks, isn’t it because others don’t want it, and you think it’s good and you buy it when you think it’s valuable?
There was another leak, and it was almost not her turn to pick it up.
Several ships from Nanyang brought raw lacquer. In the past, the price of tung oil was about 40 yuan per catty, and the price of raw lacquer was usually twice that of tung oil. Now that there are more shipyards, the price of raw lacquer has already risen quietly.
Lacquer trees are not found everywhere. There is a saying called "a catty of lacquer with a thousand knife in a hundred miles", that is to say, only one catty of lacquer can be obtained by cutting a thousand lacquer trees in a hundred and eighty miles.
That's not easy.
This boat from Nanyang sells raw lacquer for six to seven cents a catty, and it's not attracting people to **** it?
Huo Xi only managed to grab a thousand catties at a price of six cents a catty through Nok.
The three ships that followed were packed to the brim, and they returned to the capital first with Huo Xi's letter to Shen Qianzhong.
Nock invited Huo Xihao to have a raw meal, and insisted on her helping to find some good things to bring back to the country, so he was eager for Huo Xi not to let go. Huo Xi wandered around Songjiang City, trying to find some good goods from the dynasty for these foreigners, and just happened to make a profit.
Taking Yang Fu to walk around the city and the pier every day, as long as there are local ships docking at the pier, Huo Xi will take Yang Fu to negotiate with people and act as a middleman.
In addition to buying a large amount of porcelain, silk, and tea from the dynasty every time, the foreigners also like the decorations such as medicinal materials, incense burners and incense tubes, wine glasses, wine plates, and tea cups.
There are also all kinds of ready-made clothes, silk fabrics, sweets and fruits, meat products, fruits, gold and silverware, copper and ironware, iron pots, various utensils, paper...
They even like livestock they have never seen before.
Isn’t it strange to see that camel surrounded by people several times a day? The rare birds and animals brought by foreigners were scrambled for by the nobles of this dynasty.
The rare birds and beasts of the Wei Dynasty were transported back, Java, Dashi, Guli, Managa, Sumatra, Luzon, Japan, didn’t the nobles of these countries fight for it?
Everyone has curiosity. The nobles have more money, and they like it even more.
In addition to these, there are also those who like to bring back various books from the Wei Dynasty, such as Wa Kingdom.
Huo Xi helped Noke make several deals, and he was so happy that he refused to walk properly, skipping around.
Huo Xi collected benefits on both sides, and also made a lot of money.
Knowing that Nok still wanted some silk and satin, Songjiang cotton and other fabrics, Huo Xi took Yang Fu to look for weaving workshops near Songjiang.
Songjiang is the largest cotton textile textile area in this dynasty. Weaving and spinning are all over the county.
There are private and government-run.
Government-run refers to government-funded and operated, unified acquisition, not allowed to flow into the private sector. It is mostly used for military uniforms and quilts for lieutenant generals, or for official careers.
But there are not many government-run workshops, and Wuchao heard that there are only two. But since the founding of Taizu, there have been several government-run weaving and spinning companies.
There are countless private ones.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu walked in Songjiang City, the suburbs of Beijing, and other places. Weavers can be seen hurrying to and fro everywhere on the road, or unmarried girls in their teens, or girls who have combed their heads.
I heard that these weavers can weave a bolt of cotton a day, and some earn more than a hundred cash a day. After a month, the diligent ones can supplement several taels of silver for their families.
No wonder the people in Songjiang are richer in appearance and clothes than in other places.
On the streets, there are men and women carrying cloth, carrying burdens of raw silk and cotton thread, carrying looms, and pushing carts to transport cloth, men and women.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu muttered while avoiding.
"This Songjiang city looks very wealthy, and there are very few people wearing patched clothes." Yang Fu walked all the way and watched, the life of the people in Songjiang is no worse than that in the capital.
Huo Xi nodded: "Look, Uncle, the teahouses, restaurants and restaurants on both sides of this street are full of people. The people in Songjiang live affluent lives and are willing to eat and drink." The happiness index is high.
"Yes, in Songjiang City, I dare not talk about other businesses, but the grain, oil, rice and noodle business is probably profitable."
Huo Xi agrees very much: "Well, if you have money in your hands, you are willing to eat and drink. When you are full, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. You just think about spiritual things, or watch operas, listen to books, or enjoy games. Those jewels and jades are stored in boxes. Businesses like decorations and head jewelry must be easy to do."
The two were talking about business matters all the way, Huo Xi was busy looking at the things on both sides of the street, and accidentally bumped into a woman.
The woman walked in a hurry, with her head down, and she didn't expect to bump into someone when she turned a corner. As soon as she dropped something, she squatted down to pick it up.
Huo Xi saw that she had bumped into someone, and was busy apologizing, while Bian and Yang Fu knelt down to help her pick it up.
The woman didn't lift her head, but shook her head, her mouth moaning.
Huo Xi was taken aback, and exchanged glances with Yang Fu, is this dumb? She bumped into a sick woman? I feel even more ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't watch the way. Is something broken? If it breaks, we will definitely pay for it."
The woman said with a forehead, shook her head again, and waited for the things to be picked up, then raised her head and smiled at Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
Looking at the other person, Huo Xi was stunned, as if someone had frozen him, unable to move his whole body.
The woman smiled at the two of them, got up and was about to walk away with her things.
After taking two steps, Huo Xi quickly got up and called out to her in disbelief: "Nurse?"
The man was shocked and turned around quickly.
Huo Xi had already recognized her at this time, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Nurse!"
The woman stared at her in a daze, trembling all over, shedding tears, and the things in her arms rolled to the ground again.
