Chapter 335 Arriving in Yuezhou
Early in the morning, everyone saw the maid bought by the ship owner looking up at the sky on the deck, muttering and focusing.
Can't help but look sideways.
Such a thin little girl still knows how to watch the stars and the sun? I don't know how much she learned from her grandfather who was a boat master.
Genius turned white, and the two boats set off. At this time, the wind is not strong early in the morning, and the boat is not moving fast.
After eating breakfast, Huo Xi also went to the deck to breathe.
"Master, today is a sunny day. But there was a torrential rain in the afternoon, but it came and went quickly." Vanilla said to Huo Xi.
Hearing this, Huo Xi looked up at the sky.
At this time, the wind is not strong in the morning, the sky is clear, the clouds are thin, and there is heavy rain in the afternoon? How did you get it?
Boss of the ship and others also looked up to the sky.
They could tell that today was a sunny day, but they didn't see the torrential rain in the afternoon. The boss of the boat desperately sniffed the cloud and water vapor around him. After sniffing for a long time, there was only the fishy smell of the South Canal water in his nose.
"Are you sure, girl?" Everyone teased Vanilla.
Vanilla was a little embarrassed to see everyone looking at her. She felt that her judgment was right, but with so many people looking at her, she didn't know how to justify for a while. She looked at Huo Xi timidly.
One is afraid that if I say something wrong, the other is that the master will not believe her and feel that it was a waste of money to buy her and that she is useless.
She is eager to prove to the girl that she is useful and not bought for nothing.
Huo Xi smiled: "Whether there will be heavy rain in the afternoon, let's just check in the afternoon. Besides, depending on the weather, it is not always accurate."
The boss of the boat hurriedly nodded and echoed: "Exactly, I can see it twice out of ten times. It's not bad. If it rains this afternoon, I won't be able to see it."
After speaking, he ordered a group of sailors and men: "Since it rains in the afternoon, we will cover the cargo piled on the deck with tarpaulin later."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
As soon as she heard that the girl was willing to believe her, Vanilla let out a long sigh of relief.
Even if the sun is shining, I don’t want to go back to the cabin. I just stay on the deck and help with small things diligently. There is also help in the kitchen. It was liked by everyone.
In the afternoon, as expected, dark clouds rolled up in the sky, and the clouds came densely and densely. The clouds were extremely low, as if they were covering the ships.
"Boss, this girl Xiangcao is amazing, I'm afraid there will be a torrential rain. The rain is probably not light." The boss of the boat hurried to report to Huo Xi.
Huo Xi raised his head to observe, and asked Xiang Cao beside him: "How long has it been raining? Do you want to go to the shore to take shelter? Will there be a strong wind?"
Vanilla sniffed at various places on the deck: "The moisture is very strong, I'm afraid it's raining heavily. But it should come and go quickly. The wind is not strong."
Hearing that the wind was not strong, Huo Xi was relieved.
The boss of the boat is also relieved. Since it is raining and it is not accompanied by wind, there is no need for Tete to anchor on the shore.
Just directing a group of sailors to take their positions, the sailor pulls the sail, and the helm steers the helm. The sailors also drop stones to the sides of the ship to prevent the ship from losing balance when the wind blows.
Several bodyguards are also helping.
After a while, it really rained cats and dogs. There was wind, but not too much, and the boat was undulating with the waves in the middle of the canal. Huo Xi felt the ups and downs of the boat even in the cabin, but fortunately, the range was not large.
A group of sailors were calm and composed under the command of the boss of the ship, and each kept his duties.
Half an hour later, the rain collected and the clouds dispersed. Sure enough, it was torrential rain, which came and went quickly.
"Hey, this girl is pretty good, I'm afraid she really got her grandfather's true biography." The boat boss and the others praised while looking around.
When she was young, she wanted to learn from her grandfather how to read the weather. Grandpa said that there were no women on board the long-distance boats, and no ship owner would hire a female sailor.
Later, I saw that she was willing to learn, so I taught her carefully, saying that maybe someone will have a discerning eye, and if they learn it, it is also the same ability to make a living.
Isn't she appreciated by the master now?
secretly looked at the girl beside him.
Huo Xi glanced at her with a smile: "That's right, when our voyage is over and we give everyone rewards, I'll give you a big one too."
Every time a ship returns safely from a long journey, many ship owners usually give some rewards to the sailors. It is also a means of winning people's hearts.
When Vanilla heard it, the corners of her mouth raised: "Thank you, Master!"
Since then, I have been more dedicated. If Huo Xi had nothing to tell her to do, he would stay on the deck and sleep late at night, looking up at the stars and the clouds.
After doing this for three days, at Shenshi on the third day, we arrived at Yuezhou Wharf.
Because he sent a letter to Wen Xingning in Yuezhou early when he came, Wen Xingning sent someone to wait on the pier. As soon as Guangfengshui's boat arrived, someone went to notify Wen Xingning immediately.
As soon as the boat docked at the pier, Huo Xi took Shen Qianzhong to the city for a stroll. Lei Da and Vanilla followed.
Yuezhou is a famous porcelain capital in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of its rich kaolin, most of the porcelain fired are white porcelain and celadon. In Yuezhou City, from the pier to the city, there are all kinds of shops selling porcelain.
There are endless merchants coming and going on the road, and the streets and shops are bustling with activity.
"Boss, this popularity is really strong. There are still many fans."
"It's not far from Ningbo Port, and it's convenient for Fan people to come here to choose porcelain."
"Exactly. Buying porcelain at the production site is much more cost-effective than buying it at a pier shop." Shen Qianzhong and Huo Xi walked all the way talking, seeing beautiful porcelain and couldn't help but start buying it, which is better than selling it in the capital. It's cheap.
Both Lei Da and Vanilla couldn't see enough.
Lei Da was a man transferred back from the southwest by Mu Yan. He has been staying in the southwest, and he has never seen any kind of people.
This is the first time I see a fan who looks very different from Guochao people, even though he is a bodyguard, steady and self-restraining, he can't help staring at the fan.
And Vanilla is staring at Fanren even more.
When she stayed on the boat with her grandfather, she floated in the canal. There was no sea ban at that time, so where did she see any kind of people?
Fortunately, the two of them were not the only ones staring at the Fanren like this. The people of Yuezhou also stared at the Fanren like they were looking at rare objects.
Huo Xi couldn't help laughing.
After wandering around for nearly an hour, Wen Xingning led his servants to find it in a hurry. After searching on the street, I met a few people who were carrying and hugging.
strode forward: "Little Huo Xi!"
"Brother Wen." The two greeted each other, and Huo Xi introduced Shen Qianzhong.
"You bought a lot here." Wen Xingning joked. Look at these people's hands are not idle.
Huo Xi looked at what she was holding in her hands, and smiled: "I can't help it when I see something good."
"Let's go, first settle down in the eldest brother's mansion, and then I will take you to my kiln to see."
Huo Xi didn't want to waste time, and said, "Let's go to your kiln to have a look while it's still bright."
"Okay, brother, I will lead you there now."
