Fight the Giants

  Chapter 67 Be Courageous (first order required)

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu counted the inventory together.

   While checking, she asked Yang Fu to write it down in the notebook. When encountering a word that Yang Fu didn't understand, she took it and memorized it.

  Yang Fu has also learned a lot of characters these days, starting with memorizing the names of family members and the goods on the ship. I learned a lot of characters.

  Take a charcoal pencil, and record the numbers in the notebook that Huo Xi cut for him.

  Buy and bid for daily groceries, and the money he earned let him follow suit. Now Yang Fu can count the inventory by himself and record the family account.

  Huo Xi thought about Huo Zhong's words today, and then looked at the groceries on his own ship, and decided not to take them with him.

   It’s not that you can’t take it with you, it’s just that these goods are sold to fishermen and are not worth much. Putting it on the boat also increases the load.

   There are still these unsold wines, all of which are ordinary wines.

  It’s just the fifty-three bolts of silk left in the cabin, which have to be taken to Huai’an. And I have to collect some more cloth to take with me.

  There are many weavers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cloth is cheap. Merchants who transport it to Huai'an and sell it to the north will definitely make a fortune.

  But I'm afraid I can't carry so many on my own ship.

  Tea pepper pepper is light and the price is not bad. But now I don't have that channel, and I don't know how the shipment to the north is going.

   This time I went to Huai'an, mainly cloth. Explore first. There is no loss if you can't sell it. It can be shipped back and sold.

   "Father, mother!"

   "Hey, what's the matter?"

  Huo Xi recruited them to the stern and told them what Huo Zhong said at the pier today.

   "Really, can you carry goods over there?" Yang and Huo Erhuai couldn't believe it.

Huo Xi nodded: "We packed food when we went, I'm afraid we won't be able to bring much, the main thing is to bring back some groceries from the north on the return trip. If the brought back sells well, we will have enough money for this trip. Maybe we can still make money point."

   "Really?" Yang's eyes widened with joy, and Huo Erhuai also had a look of surprise.

  Ordinary and honest ordinary people, how could they think of doing some business secretly? As soon as I heard that the ship was recruited by the government, I was so frightened that my legs went limp and I lost my mind.

   Huo Xi said that besides capital, the most important thing is courage. Smuggling and smuggling are the most profitable. If you don't earn back your foot money, you will be sorry for the hard work of this trip.

   And this is not smuggling, the government allows it.

   It's just that most people have no guts.

  Looking at the three hatch covers of his house, he said again: "Father, mother, our top priority now is to rent a house quickly and unload our boat first. Then go find some cotton cloth and come back."

   "Yes, yes, yes. Let's rent a house first!"

   "Xi'er, do you only accept cotton cloth?"

   "Yes, this time we only accept cotton cloth. No linen."

  The hemp material is too common, and when the weight is almost the same, it is still a profitable cotton business. Of course, silk and satin are more profitable, but I'm afraid I can't get access to those resources. If you can't make a shot, I'm afraid it will hit your hand.

  First use dozens of pieces of silk on board to explore the way.

   "Okay, let's go to Qianjin Village to rent a house."

  Huo Xi shook his head: "Father, I don't want to rent a house in Qianjin Village."

   "What?"

"Think about it, we have to receive the goods now, and we have to sell the goods when we come back. The goods that come in and out can't be cleared out at once. I'm afraid it will take a long time to sell them. I'm afraid that there will be too many people in the village. Let's go directly to the outer city to rent a house."

  After hearing what Huo Zhong said today, Huo Xi didn't want to go to Qianjin Village to rent a house.

   Wait until the goods received from the north are returned, and they will be sold in the capital. Store the goods in the capital for easy access.

   "Okay, let's listen to Xi'er."

  It was past noon at this time, and her family's boat was already in the outer tributary of the Qinhuai River, and if they turned back to the capital, they might have to go back to Taoyedu in the dark at night.

   "Let's go to the village along the river to collect the cloth first, and go to the city early tomorrow morning to rent a house, so that we can put the collected things in the house."

  The family rowed the boat to each village to collect cotton cloth.

   After buying cloth and wine for so many days, I searched around and found out which village has more weaver households and what kind of goods they have.

  By the time of sunset, a boat full of cotton cloth had been collected, and there was no place to stay.

   When the boat was rolled back to Taoyedu, there were boats coming back one after another.

  Qian Xiaoyu and Qian Xiaoxia's boat is also there.

   "You guys came back so early today?" Yang Fu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at Qian Xiaoxia in astonishment.

  Didn’t the two brothers say they were going to go fishing with all their might and save money to buy a big boat? Facing his family's big boat every day, he gets red eyes.

   Every day, I row the boat to far away waters with few people. These days, I have caught a lot of fish and sold them for a lot of money.

  Qian Xiaoxia hopped onto the Huo family's boat a little listlessly, and hooked Yang Fu's shoulders: "My brother and I played ten nets today, but seven or eight nets were empty. We should return early."

  Huo Xi glanced at him. He must have been distracted by the call for ships. He lost his former energy and luck.

  Qian Xiaoxia hooked Yang Fu listlessly, "Yang Fu, I'll sleep with you tonight", as soon as he hooked Yang Fu into the cabin, his eyes widened instantly.

   "You guys, why do you buy so much cloth?"

  There is not even a place to step down in this cabin, how can there be a place for him to sleep?

   His jaw almost hit the ground.

   Turning his head to look at Yang Fu with difficulty: "What is your family doing? Fishing boats turned into merchant ships, resisting conquest?"

   "You're the one who resisted the conquest! My family doesn't have any extra heads!" Still resisting the conquest, can ordinary people's arms twist the official's thigh?

   gave him a blank look. Too lazy to talk to him.

   "Then what is your family doing? Your boat is so big, I'm afraid it has to transport twice as much food as ours, and you still have so much stuff, aren't you afraid of being thrown into the water by the guards?"

  Yang Fu rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think people in our family look like idiots?"

   "They don't look like you do."

   "You are the one!" The two chattered.

  Huo Xi couldn't stand it anymore, took a tangerine and threw it to him, Qian Xiaoxia immediately moved to Huo Xi's side: "Huo Xi, is there any more? Give me another one, I'll give it to my brother."

   The last time he got a tangerine from the Huo family, he has been reading it until now.

Delicious! Originally, I wanted to sell more money, so I also bought a few catties to eat. Who knows that the ship will be requisitioned. Guess his mother won't let him eat enough at night, so he still wants to eat tangerines? fart.

  Huo Xi glanced at him, got something to eat, and was still thinking about his brother, not a person who eats alone.

   Then he took another one for him.

  Qian Xiaoxia is very grateful, and gave it to his brother.

   Soon returned to Huo's boat. While peeling off the skin, he slowly tore off the white fascia of the orange petal, and then put it in his mouth, chewing slowly like eating an elixir.

   It's almost invisible.

  But thinking about it, Huo Xi felt heavy again. Life is hard for fishermen.

   Fishing for a day is a day of copper coins, and a day of copper coins can be exchanged for a full day of food.

   Really live every day.

  Like Qian Xiaoxia's elder brother Qian Xiaoyu, his family's life is still good, and he can't find any good marriage. It is even more difficult for those who are worse than his family.

  From ancient times to the present, men have no house or place to stay when they get married. Who will marry you! Even the male bird knows how to build a nest first in courtship.

   Can't help but secretly sighed.

   Seeing Qian Xiaoxia asking questions, he said, "When your parents come back later, I'll talk to them. I want to discuss something with them."

   It’s on the shelves, please support us a lot, thank you~ I love you
