Chapter 340 Disputes on the pier
Li Shiwu and Wu Shi looked at Huo Xi with a smile, and were very pleased to see that she had grown taller and opened up a lot.
"We haven't seen you for a long time, and we miss you. We just received your message and there is another boat. Your uncle and I wanted to come and see you."
"The other thing is to take advantage of the convenience, and come to see the excitement of Ningbo Port. We haven't been here yet. If it weren't for the family being unable to leave, your uncle and aunt would want to come. Look at Yin'er and Yi'er..."
Mrs. Wu spat at the two grandsons.
Huo Xi turned to look.
Seeing Yin'er and Yi'er staring at the Fanren and Fanchuan on the pier, their eyes were straightened, and they couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing.
"It's exactly the same as Nian'er back then."
Mrs. Wu laughed when she heard this, and asked Huo Nian a few more words. Seeing that he was fine, she was relieved.
"It won't delay your business, right?" Li Shiwu was a little worried.
Huo Xi shook his head: "It's okay. Everything has been done. This shipment of goods this time is an extra surprise. The goods can be shipped, and I am not in a hurry to return to Beijing."
That's good. The two old people let out a sigh of relief, afraid of delaying the child's affairs.
Huo Xi asked Vanilla to accompany Wu Shi and Yin'er Yier to watch the fun, and asked two bodyguards to follow. She reconciled with Shen Qianzhong and Li Shiwu.
"This time, you are in a hurry. I brought you all the silk in stock. I was going to let your uncle Yu transport it to Songjiang. I also went to the shop in Jiaxing to bring all the stock in the warehouse. It is still two days away. The county purchased some. A total of 3,000 pieces. There is no time to dye them, and most of them are white silk."
Huo Xi nodded and looked at the cost of silk.
Shen Qianzhong didn't know the specific relationship between Li Shiwu and Huo Xi.
Only seeing that Li Shiwu got the news, he went out of his way, emptied the cloth, and contacted the merchants to buy goods. The shop in Songjiang was also handed over to the second son of the Li family.
Shen Qianzhong knew that the owner's family had a close relationship with the Li family.
said: "Three thousand horses is a lot. I never imagined that I could get so much in such a short time, thanks to the hard work of Uncle Li's family."
Li Shiwu said: "The matter of Xi'er is the matter of my whole family."
Turning his head to Huo Xi with a smile: "You kid is also a bit lucky to let such a capable person as Shopkeeper Shen work for you. You have to treat him like your own family, don't let him go."
Huo Xi nodded yes. Knowing that her uncle was teaching her.
Shen Qianzhong laughed: "If I hadn't met my boss, I wouldn't be where I am today. Maybe my father and son are still carrying bags at the capital pier."
Several people chatted and laughed a few words. I saw a lot of silk cloth and half a boat of porcelain. There are not many tea leaves.
"If you want to buy more tea leaves, you must have tea guides. Being able to buy these several hundred catties has already made a lot of connections." Li Shiwu felt a little regretful that he couldn't help Xi'er.
Huo Xi comforted him: "It's okay, I didn't have too much hope at first, these are enough. With these, I can exchange a lot of things with fans."
After reconciling the accounts, Huo Xi took Shen Qianzhong and Lei Da to find the two Boni figurines to exchange. Li Shiwu went to look for Wu and his two grandsons.
The two Boni men were very happy to see that Huo Xi had brought in another shipment. They took Huo Xi to pick up another shipment, and then helped to transport the goods that had been stored on their ship.
Huo Xi transported a total of three shipments. In exchange for some precious and exotic goods such as jewelry, jade and spiced sandalwood, two ships can be loaded.
Two Boni people asked for Huo Xi's address in the capital, and Huo Xi also gave it. The two Bo mud figurines were very happy.
In the future, if they come again, or people who are familiar with them come to Wei Dynasty again, it will be easy to have someone who is so sympathetic and understands their native dialect.
In order to express their gratitude, the two Boni figurines also gave Huo Xi several exquisite handicrafts.
Huo Xi didn't refuse and accepted it.
Changed hands to Li Shiwu and Wu Shi. The two declined for a while, but they happily accepted it.
"This lacquer box is so beautiful! What kind of carving is this, so white, is it jade?"
"No, it's ivory."
"It turns out that this is ivory. The teeth are so long, how big is the elephant!" Wu was very surprised.
"The elephant can carry people, and even a small house." Huo Xi smiled.
"Really? Sister Xi'er, that elephant can still carry a house on it?" Li Yin and Li Yi hadn't been out much before, but this time they went out, which greatly opened their eyes.
Seeing Huo Xi nodding with a smile, the two children screamed, "It would be great if we had elephants here, and we can let them help them carry things."
"The elephant walks too slowly, slower than a bullock cart. It's not worthwhile to use it to carry things." Huo Xi teased the two children, "What did Yin'er and Yi'er see at the pier? You two didn't Seasick, awesome!"
The two children were a little proud of being praised, chattering around Huo Xi about the strange things they saw on the pier.
The transaction was completed, and Huo Xi led Li Shiwu, Wu Shi and the two children to stroll around the pier and the city for a few days, and bought a lot of things, including presents for the two aunts and uncles.
Li Shiwu and Shi Shi came here once in a while. Now that the family life is better, they are willing to spend money. Seeing that the fan cloths brought by the Fan people are pretty and the price is right, they also bought a lot of fan cloth.
Enough watching the excitement, thinking about family matters, Li Shiwu and Wu wanted to go back to Huzhou.
Before leaving, Huo Xi led them to eat at a restaurant by the pier.
While eating, there was a commotion on the pier. Several people looked up.
I saw a woman leading two and a half-year-old children, pulling with a beard. The diners in the restaurant watched and discussed.
"That's a bit over the top. It's not money from his pocket. It's the ship owner who compensated her man, and she still keeps it. It's money for medical treatment."
"You want him to spit it out after he got it in his pocket? It's said that the head eats people and doesn't spit out the bones, and he takes care of the work on the dock. Those porters and porters listen to him in order to have a job. Big pier, can people not have any background?"
"Poor, I heard that her man had one leg broken, and he ate and drank on the bed. He didn't want to drag his wife and children down, so he hit his head against the wall several times. Tsk tsk."
People in the restaurant chatted and shook their heads and sighed.
Huo Xi raised his eyes to look at the woman with the child, and saw that she had just knelt down to the head, and was kicked aside by the head in a blink of an eye.
The woman saw that the head was about to leave, so she crawled over and grabbed the clothes of the head, and was summoned by the head to come over and pull her away. The woman held on tightly to the clothes of the head, pushed and pulled her with the head, but refused to let go.
Huo Xi couldn't help shaking his head.
No matter what time it is, the people at the bottom are living a difficult life, and there is no place to appeal for reasons.
Looking sad, I couldn't do anything, I just looked away and greeted everyone to eat. Li Shiwu's eyes were fixed on that side.
