Chapter 293 Millennium second child
Hearing Huo Xi's question, Wen Xingning nodded.
Huo Xi was a little puzzled: "Isn't Yuezhou close to Ningbo Port? Why did you choose Songjiang for this trip?"
Wen Xingning saw that Huo Xi and others were interested, so he smiled and said: "I want to make friends with you all. Can you allow me to bring the food back to the boat for my elders, and then I will talk to you?"
Seeing the other party nodding, Wen Xingning took two portions of food and rowed away.
Going back to his boat, he handed his father Wen Tao a piece of hot food: "Father, this is the hot food I bought from that house."
Wen Tao brought it over, opened it, and saw that there were seafood, meat, eggs, rice, vegetables, and chicken soup. It was very rich.
Nodding slightly: "I don't know who it is, not only has the ability to protect itself, but also prepares food so well. It's not easy to get a bite of hot food when you are traveling on a boat."
Wen Xingning nodded: "I see that the other party is young and very thoughtful. He doesn't look like an ordinary merchant, and he acts in a very orderly manner. I intend to make friends with the other party."
Wen Tao was silent. Several generations of his family have been firing kilns in Yuezhou, and the sea ban will be lifted this year. The family said that they will open shops in Ningbo Port and Songjiang Port to do business with Fanren. He brought Xingning to Songjiang with a boat full of porcelain.
A shipment of goods was sold cleanly, and the price was not bad. I just didn't expect that the trip went smoothly, but on the way back, I encountered water thieves.
Fortunately, there was no danger.
Nodded: "Although the water thief is not targeting us, once he succeeds, there is no guarantee that he will not attack us in the next place. Now that family has given the water thief a hard blow. If it scares the water thief, it will be safe. I have inherited the favor of that family. Since our family wants to open a shop in Songjiang Port, we have many friends and many ways."
"Yes. Where is it now?"
Wen Tao glared at him. The other sons were obsessed with learning skills, and thought this son was smarter, so they brought him out. Unexpectedly, he was still so blind.
"The family is having dinner now, you go over at this time?"
Wen Xingning chuckled and said, "Then I'll go with dad after dinner."
Opened my own portion, picked it up and ate it, nodding repeatedly: "It's delicious." It's much more delicious than eating dry food, and it speeds up the speed of cooking.
After finishing his meal, he waited a little longer before rowing the boat to approach.
Yang Fu dragged him onto the boat. Invite him to speak in the cabin.
Wen Xingning entered the cabin and looked it over: "Aren't you a merchant ship?"
Yang Fu said with a smile: "Our boat has always been a fishing boat."
"Fishing boat?"
Wen Xingning looked around, are the fishing boats so powerful now, using earth cannons to blow up water thieves? Or are water thieves also robbing fishing boats now?
"Those two are also fishing boats?" It doesn't look like it.
Yang Fu smiled and shook his head: "No, that is our company's cargo ship. Our family started out fishing. This boat has always been used for fishing. In the early years, our family used boats as their home."
"A boat as your home?"
No wonder the house is complete, with pots and pans, rice noodles, grain and oil, and cooking hot food is naturally very common.
"It's the first time I know such a fisherman who takes his boat as his home. Your boat is not small, and fishing is a bit wasteful."
"I live on a boat while fishing, so I naturally want to buy a big boat, so that I can live more spaciously."
Seeing the other party talking enthusiastically with Yang Fu, Huo Xi sat aside and looked at him.
Looking at his early twenties, he still has a childish face. It seems that he is going out to do business for the first time, or it is the first time to go out to do business for the first time. His face does not have the smoothness and sophistication of other businessmen.
Can't help but smile.
Then he said: "Before this, we wanted to go to Ningbo Port. I heard that there are many merchant ships coming from there. We just want to go there to see the excitement. It's just that we go from the capital to Ningbo Port more than we go to Songjiang Port. Nearly half of the distance. I just don’t know why Brother Wen is so far away?”
Wen Xingning looked at Huo Xi.
He said with a smile: "Ningbo Port is quite close to our Yuezhou. The Hui people planned to do Fan people's business, and they first opened a shop in Ningbo Port. Later, the elders of the clan said that Songjiang Port is a gathering place for ships from south to north. Not only the boats of Fanren stopped, but also many boats from the north went south to Songjiang Port, so I decided to open another shop in Songjiang Port. This time, I brought a boatload of goods with my father to try the market. .”
Huo Xi nodded, and asked him again: "Then do you have a shop in the capital?"
"Yes. We also have a shop in the inner city called Wenji Porcelain Shop."
"Wenji Porcelain Shop? Is it yours? Before we came to Songjiang, we went to your shop to buy porcelain." Yang Fu said pleasantly.
"Oh? Really. Next time you only need to report my name, and I'll ask the shopkeeper to give you a 10% discount."
Huo Xi turned his head to look at him: "It's only 10% off? We are doing big business. This time, we bought a boatload of porcelain and shipped it to Songjiang to exchange goods with Fanren."
Wen Xingning opened his mouth wide: "Do you buy porcelain with Fanren for exchange? Then next time you tell me in advance, I will ship it to you directly from Yuezhou, and give you the lowest price."
Huo Xi and Yang Fu looked at each other and laughed: "Okay, then we recognize you as the young master."
Wen Xingning scratched his head: "I'm not a young master. My grandfather and a few relatives are in charge of the affairs of the clan. But now I'm out to run business, so I can also be in charge."
The pleasantries became warmer.
Huo Xi also learned more about porcelain from Wen Xingning.
There are many kilns in various places in this dynasty, and in addition to official kilns, there are also many private kilns.
Each kiln mouth has its own characteristics, in addition to the different glaze colors fired, the shape and decoration of the utensils are also different. Some are rich in monochrome porcelain, and some are rich in colored porcelain.
Some kiln mouths are rich in daily-use utensils such as bowls, plates, cups, saucers, jars, bowls, and pots, and some are rich in vases for ornamental display.
Some kilns are good at folding branches and flowers, and some are good at landscapes with figures.
Some kilns burn all kinds of utensils, while others specialize in firing one type. For example, there is a kiln in the Yuezhou area that is rich in various tea sets, and it is called "zhan kiln".
It is famous for producing all kinds of tea pots, teapots, tea cups, etc.
Some kilns have their own secret techniques, such as firing glaze colors that others cannot. For example, Lang Kiln can produce a kind of red glaze, and the ruby red produced is dazzling, and even many people are rushing to buy it at a high price.
"Then what is the main fire in your family?"
"Our family mainly burns celadon porcelain, supplemented by white porcelain, and mainly burns some daily-use utensils and wine utensils."
"Wine vessel? Then you can accept customization? For example, drawing for you, and let you help to make it."
Wen Xingning nodded: "We also accept customized ones. But the hall number of our kiln needs to be printed on the deposit."
Huo Xi nodded to express his understanding.
Porcelain at each kiln mouth almost has its own base price. Or year number or hall number, or something else.
Mark the bottom line, one is to promote, the other is to mark the identity, and the third is of course brand protection. The more famous you are, the more you pay attention to brand protection. The more valuable something is, the more it needs to be marked.
Huo Xi was thinking, Fan people like the porcelain from our dynasty quite a lot, but if you don’t have things from other countries, once the curiosity period is over, it’s better to look at things from your own country.
Wouldn’t it be more popular with foreigners if we burned some or painted some patterns and shapes of foreign countries?
It's like Huo Xina's two fried chicken bigwigs in the fast food industry. A certain Lao is the world's number one, but in China, he was turned into the second in a thousand years by a certain gangster.
It’s not that a certain group has integrated into the local market according to the tastes of Chinese people.
Huo Xi thought about the possibility of doing this.
