Fight the Giants

  Chapter 250 Can't concentrate

   On this holiday, Huo Nian had a great time.

  My parents and sister left him in Beijing for half a month. This time, in order to make up for him, they almost responded to all kinds of small requests made by him.

  Even my sister didn't say to spank his **** anymore. He had such a comfortable time.

Thinking of Fang Qi saying that his family has a small lake where they can row boats and pick lotus, Huo Nian just said something to his parents, and his father rowed to Liuhe Town, and found a wild lake full of lotus, let him After a bout of lotus picking addiction.

   Picked a lot of lotus pods, and picked a lot of water chestnuts.

   That's a pleasure.

  Bring him to the school tomorrow, the students will definitely envy him.

  On this day, Huo Nian, his parents, and his sister were fishing on the boat, fishing in shrimp pots and crab pots, picking lotus, and went for a walk in Liuhe Town.

   Grinning his mouth, he hasn't closed it all day.

  When Yang Fu came back at night, he sat on Yang Fu, talking about the interesting things of the day, without stopping.

Huo Xi saw that he ate a full stomach of snacks and snacks today, and his belly was so full that he only took two bites of dinner, and seeing that he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, she couldn't help but said: "Nian'er, you these days Did you write big characters properly? Did you follow the copybook that my sister gave you before?"

  This time, my grandfather heard that Nian'er had gone to a private school, and he sent several copybooks along with the letter, all of which were written by my grandfather himself. It is most suitable for children to practice big characters.

  Before going to Huzhou, Huo Xi confessed that he had to practice big characters every day.

  Huo Nian was grabbing the lotus seeds his uncle peeled for him and was about to put it in his mouth, when he heard what his sister said, he was stunned.

  Looked blankly at her sister, then shook her head obediently.

   "Why not in capital letters?"

  Yang Fu also swallowed nervously, he forgot to ask Nian'er to write big characters every day.

  Huo Nian moved his **** towards Yang's side, his eyes rolled quickly: "Sister said you need to concentrate on writing big characters..."

   "Yes, you must concentrate." Huo Xi nodded, very relieved that he remembered what he said.

  Unexpectedly, I heard the little boy say weakly: "But I miss my father, my mother, my sister, and I miss you so much. When I think about you, I can't concentrate. If I can't concentrate, I can't write."

Well…

  Yang Fu almost laughed out loud.

  Seeing Huo Xi's serious face, he immediately held back, bowed his head and continued peeling the lotus seeds.

   Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai looked at each other, then lowered their heads to peel the lotus seeds.

  I picked half a boatful of lotus pods without knowing it today, and I can’t eat so much if I eat them fresh for a while. It's better to peel them out, dry them and store them, and cook porridge or soup later.

   They didn't dare to interfere with Huo Nian's study. It was Xi'er who took charge of sending Yang Fu to the school to study for a few years.

   Yang surreptitiously looked at Huo Nian while peeling the lotus seeds, with the corners of her mouth raised. Her son is smart, so Xi'er won't spank his **** if she says so.

  Huo Xi was also speechless to Huo Nian's rogue answer.

  I wanted to teach him a lesson, but seeing him blinking at you with his big eyes that looked like they had been soaked in water, I couldn't help but soften my heart.

  Thinking that he hasn't seen her and his parents for more than ten days, thinking of his happy and aggrieved look when he picked him up at noon yesterday, he couldn't say the words to reprimand him.

   He gave him a hard look: "Then from tomorrow, I have to write twenty large characters every day, and make up for what I owed before."

   "Okay! My sister is the best, I like my sister the most. Starting tomorrow, I must write twenty big characters every day, and write seriously. Okay?"

"Um."

  Seeing that her sister agreed, Huo Nian grinned happily again, and raised her chin towards Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai, feeling extremely proud.

  Come to Yang Fu's side, happily peel the lotus seeds, and accept everyone's feeding from time to time, very happy.

   "Sister, can I send some lotus pods to my husband and Fang Qi tomorrow?"

   "Okay. Bring some food from other places that your parents brought you this time."

   "Good! Fang Qi and the others must be very happy!"

  The next day Huo Nian got up early in the morning, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he happily entered the school with a big basket in his arms.

  Huo Xi sent him to the school, and went to the shop with Yang Fu.

  There are many smart people in this world. Since the news of the construction of Beiping City came out from the court, the prices of grains in the south of the Yangtze River have quietly increased, and a large amount of grains and various materials have been transported to the north.

  Every day, the pier is bustling with boats of all kinds.

  Guangfengshui newly returned five large ships, three of which were taken by Shen Qianzhong to the north, and two were also sent by Yang Fu to the countryside to collect grain and various supplies. In addition to the few boats that my family bought before, they went back and forth, and they never stopped.

  Yang Fu bought another batch of guys who signed the contract, and that's it, the two shops are still very busy.

   "Xi'er, the fan cloth we bought last time, those left in the capital, have been cleared out of the warehouse, and those fan cloths, except for the ones processed by others, are not left for sale."

   "Have you made any statistics, uncle? Except for the cost and our expenses along the way, what is the approximate profit?"

   "70% of our products are approved to small businesses and hawkers, and only 30% are sold in shops in the inner city. The profit of bulk sales can be doubled, and the profit of wholesale is less than double."

  Huo Xi nodded, it would be nice to have double the benefits in the capital.

  Of course, if it is transported to the north or other places, the profit will definitely not exceed. Of course, the throwing fee is also high, and there is also a lack of capable shopkeepers and stewards to **** and operate.

   I don’t know if my uncle can find some old people who can be used. There were a few useful ones around my mother before, but now I don't know where they were sold.

   "By the way, the Sahara we hired female workers to process last time have all been taken back. Xier, what do you think we should do?"

   "Everything is all right? We bought a lot last time."

  Those Saharas are some woolen fabrics, woven from the hair of various animals. They feel thick and rough to the touch. At the beginning, no one cared about a hundred pennies, and Huo Xi took them all.

   "Let's go, let's take a look."

  Huo Xi dragged Yang Fu to the warehouse. Looking at it, most of the warehouse was filled with these processed woolen fabrics.

  Different in size and thickness. Huo Xi started to check one by one, and saw that the Sahara had been re-dyed, cut, and processed, and now it has become much more upscale. I am overjoyed.

   "Let's ship them all to the north. Whether it's door curtains, curtains, car curtains, carpets, or tents, the north will need more than the south of the Yangtze River."

"Yes, I thought so too. This thing is dense and airtight, and it is excellent for wind, rain, dust, and freezing. Now that it has been processed, it looks like a world of difference from when I bought it. It will definitely be able to Get a good price."

  Huo Xi nodded: "I hope it can be sold at a good price, so I can buy more land and real estate in the north. Uncle, let's collect some grain and cloth next, and ship them to the north. Let Dad contact some boatmen."

"good."
