It's just that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind.
As soon as the man turned in, Li Neng, who was the first to guard there, covered his mouth and nose, which stunned him and instantly put him to the ground.
Huo Xi opened her mouth, and sure enough, mist smoke is a must-have item for traveling in the world. Next time she will also look for some to take with her.
He broke away from Gong Ziyi's hand and went to look, squatting down and looking around: "You won't wake up, will you?"
"Don't worry, what Li Neng has in hand is good."
Huo Xi looked at Li Neng with burning eyes. Do you want to ask him for something?
Gong Ziyi understood the look in her eyes and poked her on the forehead, "Don't even think about it, I'll just do it for you."
Huh, if you don’t give it, you won’t give it.
Looking at the man who was put down on the ground, Huo Xi kicked him. He didn't know how many people were in the hands of this group of people. He really wanted to throw him into the river.
"Let's go." Gong Ziyi didn't bother to look at the man.
"He has seen our appearance. Aren't you afraid that he will wake up and look for you?" Huo Xi was a little worried. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
"Am I afraid of him? It's better to find him. There will be a whole litter."
Huo Xi tilted her head and looked at him. She was taking advantage of others. Now she was not afraid of revenge? Who is this person? A rich man? An official? A child of a noble family?
"Are you leaving Huai'an too?" he asked tentatively.
"In a few days."
In a few days, are you still not afraid of retaliation? Tsk tsk, this look of fearlessness makes people jealous.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, Huo Xi did not want to explore. In order to avoid causing trouble, they should leave Huai'an Pier soon.
There should be no interaction with this young master.
The three of them walked to a sheltered place.
Gong Ziyi took out half of the banknotes from his wallet, thought about it, and took it back. He took out Li Neng's wallet and counted 2,500 taels from it: "Just in case, you take us
of banknotes.”
Huo Xi took it unceremoniously, counted out another five hundred taels and handed it back to him, "I don't have that much money for silk. This time you put in a lot of effort, and you take the lion's share."
Gong Ziyi didn't refuse and took it: "Okay, that's good enough. I'll give you a big gift when you leave."
"What kind of gift?"
"They say I'll give it away when you leave. Children worry so much about whether they grow taller or not."
Huo Xi curled her lips at him, put the banknote in her arms, patted it, and walked back. After walking for a while, she saw Huo Erhuai and others who were looking for her.
After asking about the situation, everyone let out a long sigh of relief when they knew that Huo Xi had taken care of the matter.
"Let's go quickly. To avoid a long night of dreams, let's return now." Huo Erhuai held her tightly.
"Everyone is still strolling on the pier. I wonder if they have bought anything good." Because of her family's affairs, everyone's rhythm was disrupted.
"Don't worry, dad will tell them. If that doesn't work, let's go ahead and wait for them in front."
Huo Xi nodded. She took the bundle from Huo Erhuai's arms, found a place, and put on her fisherman's clothes again.
Everyone is a little uncomfortable with it.
Gong Ziyi was also a little uncomfortable with it. Just now, she was still a soft little sister, and now she has turned into a poor fisherman boy again?
He looked her back and forth: "As promised, I will go on your boat to have a look."
Before Huo Xi could say anything, Huo Erhuai responded readily: "Go, go, whatever our benefactor needs us to do, just ask. If it weren't for our benefactor, we wouldn't be able to get our money back."
"Don't call me my benefactor. I'm just taking advantage of the rough roads. I want to board your ship just out of curiosity."
Huo Erhuai and others only thought that the other party came from a wealthy family and had never seen the life of a fisherman. They wanted to see the excitement, so they enthusiastically led the way.
I kept following him all the way back to the place where everyone parked the boat.
Because they heard that the Huo family was about to leave, Yu Jiang, Ma Xiang and others went to the pier to buy things. Even if they bought linen, they had to buy some food for the return trip.
Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu were the only ones who followed Gong Ziyi back to the Huo family's boat.
Uncle Zou, who was helping the Huo family look after the boat, saw them coming back, asked them a few words, and then returned to his boat.
Gong Ziyi looked back and forth at the Huo family's boat: "Are you fishermen so united?"
"We all stopped at a ferry at night. Everyone knows everything about it."
Gong Ziyi nodded while looking at the Huo family's boat, "Your boat is much bigger than others. Is it new?"
"Just changed it."
"It's quite new." It seems that the Huo family is living a good life.
I saw half a boat full of linen on the boat: "Did your family buy linen from Hui'an?"
Huo Xi raised her eyebrows: "Yes, it's cheap, just what we poor people need, but you don't like it."
"How do you know I don't like you?"
Seeing Huo Xi looking at him, she also looked down and said, "I don't wear linen now, but that doesn't mean I don't do the linen business."
"With little profit, you will definitely look down on me." Huo Xi was sure.
Even the steward is dressed in fine cotton. How can his family do this low-profit linen business?
Gong Ziyi glanced at her and didn't know where she came from, so he just looked around the ship.
In order to thank Gong Ziyi for helping to recover the payment, Yang Fu took out all the delicious food he had hidden in his heart and put it in a basket: "To give it to you, we made it ourselves."
Huo Xi looked into the basket and saw that there were butter, shrimps, dried fish, chicken and duck meat, and snacks to go with wine. They were not expensive, but they were all what her family could get at the moment.
"Look at your uncle, then look at you," Gong Ziyi curled his lips. The little guy dismissed him with a few dry words of thanks.
Seeing the children chatting happily, Huo Erhuai said: "You guys chat, Dad will go ashore to buy some food, and then see if there are any good things. Buy some for your mother and Nian'er, and fetch some purified water. We will return it along the way."
Use it."
Gong Ziyi then said to Yang Fu who was following him: "You should go too. I'm afraid your brother-in-law won't be able to get it back by himself."
Yang Fu was stunned for a moment, looked back and forth between Huo Xi and Huo Erhuai, and finally followed Huo Erhuai off the boat.
Huo Xi looked at Gong Ziyi, wondering what this man wanted to do after sending her father and Yang Fu away.
"you……"
Want to get to the point? Huo Xi tilted her head and looked at him.
Gong Ziyi hit her on the head, this little thing.
Clearing his throat: "Your uncle said that your family also owns a floating grocery store and sells a lot of things, right? Who do they sell to? Is it a good sale?"
Huo Xi glanced at him leisurely.
"Sold to fishermen and villagers along the river, we have rice, flour, grain and oil, and daily necessities. We sell whatever we need and whatever we can make money from."
“Sell whatever you want to make money?”
Huo Xi looked at him and nodded.
"You have many fishermen? How is your relationship?"
"It's a lot. If you just look back and see that ships are constantly bringing grain to Huai'an, you will know that there are many fishermen in the south of the Yangtze River."
Gong Ziyi glanced back and saw that there were so many grain transport ships that he could not see the end of them.
"I heard that your fishermen have a kind of fishing salt, and the price is quite low? Do you usually sell a lot of salted fish?"
