A few days later, Huo Erhuai and Yang returned with Huo Nian from all over their property.
The young master of a landlord's family had developed an addiction to going to the countryside to inspect property and collect rent.
He chattered interesting things about the countryside, spread various local products to Huo Xi and Yang Fu, and invited them to eat.
Huo Xi looked at Pi Xiaozi's bulging belly, and then at his chubby face, feeling quite helpless. It seemed that this could no longer be called baby fat.
"You have such a small stomach, you can't eat anymore. If you eat Fu water, you won't be able to compare with Lu Song. You won't be able to float up and will sink to the bottom." Huo Xi teased him.
Pi Xiaozi was startled. He quickly lifted up the hem of his clothes and lowered his head to look at his belly. He saw that his belly was indeed bulging. He couldn't even see the baby bird when he looked at it this way.
With a sharp breath, my belly shrank back, and I could see the little bird again.
"Sister, look!" Just as he was happy and relieved, he couldn't see it again.
He sucked in and relaxed, his belly bulged and then retracted, then retracted and bulged again. Pi Xiaozi pouted and looked unhappy.
He looked at his father, his mother, and the various local products he brought back.
He knelt down and angrily pushed edamame, various tender melons, mulberries, loquats and other food towards Huo Xi and Yang Fu, "No, my sister and uncle will eat."
He glanced at the pile of food and threw himself into Yang's arms aggrievedly.
It's really delicious.
But I have a little belly, and I can’t even see the little bird when I lower my head. If the water sinks, I will lose to Lu Song and the others. I will be laughed at by them.
But those tender edamame beans are so delicious. He brought them back all the way so hard that he planned to eat them for a long time.
Tears immediately filled his eyes.
Yang and Huo Erhuai were so distressed to see him like this.
The couple comforted him: "Sister lied to us about Nian'er. Why is Nian'er so fat? Children are all like this. They are chubby. They will lose weight only when they grow up.
"
After coaxing them for a long time, they didn't get it right, so they glared at Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
Then he coaxed: "Your uncle was so chubby when he was a child. He was so chubby that he couldn't even see his feet and couldn't wear shoes. Look at your uncle now. Isn't he not fat at all? It will be natural when he grows up.
Just lost weight."
Pi Xiaozi raised his head from Yang's arms: "Really?"
Seeing Yang nodding, he looked to Huo Erhuai for confirmation, and Huo Erhuai nodded to him again and again.
Yang Fu rolled his eyes at his sister. When he was a child, he was blown by the river breeze every day on the boat and ate dried fish until he vomited. How could he be so fat that he couldn't even see his feet?
Seeing Huo Nian looking at him, he nodded seriously: "My uncle was fatter than both of you when he was a child."
Seeing everyone staring at her, Huo Xi touched her nose and refused to take back what she said: "My uncle is older than me. I don't know what he looked like when he was a child."
"Mom..." Pi Xiaozi felt wronged again.
"Really, really, I won't lie to you. Your uncle was really fat when he was a child." As he said this, he winked at Yang Fu.
Yang Fu surrendered immediately and came over to hug him. After coaxing him for a long time, he finally got better.
Huo Nian happily ate edamame and tender melons with everyone on the deck. She ate mulberries until her fingers and mouth were all black and purple.
It was scary to look at. He even put his paws on Huo Xi's clothes to say hello, making Huo Xi so angry that she chased him and beat him.
The next day, Huo Xi and Yang Fu hired a cart to transport the glutinous rice collected by Huo Erhuai and Yang to the shop.
The couple heard that Huo Xi wanted glutinous rice, so they traveled to many places and helped collect fifty or sixty shi.
He also said that he had found out where there was still more and planned to collect it in the next two days.
When we arrived at the shop, shopkeeper Shen was not there. He said that five boats carrying cloth had returned early in the morning, and he went to the dock to transport goods.
As soon as Yang Fu heard this, he immediately hired a car and went to the dock, while Huo Xi stayed in the shop to arrange for the glutinous rice to be put into storage.
When the glutinous rice is put into the warehouse, the trucks transporting cloth also come back one after another.
"Are the first shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper at the dock?" Huo Xi arranged for the clerk to enter the warehouse, but when they didn't see the two of them coming back, he asked.
"The first shopkeeper is at the dock, and the second shopkeeper follows the car to the warehouse in the inner city. He said he wants to store half of the goods there, but I'm afraid there won't be room here."
Huo Xi nodded.
Although some freight was cleared from the warehouse in the outer city and sent to the inner city, it could not hold five ships' worth of cloth.
While helping to load the goods, the accountant asked Huo Xi: "Should we notify our customers that the cotton linen has arrived and let them pick up the goods? This will also free up some space."
Although Accountant Ding didn't know that the real owner behind Guangfeng Shui was Huo Xi, he saw the attitude of the two shopkeepers towards Huo Xi and guessed that Huo Xi had a high status.
At this time, I asked for instructions.
Just as Huo Xi was about to nod, he saw a man standing at the door of the shop. He took a closer look and hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother He Feng? Why are you here free?" He was very happy.
He Feng smiled: "Come and take a look."
He glanced at the dozen trucks parked at the door and saw the movers coming in and out. He followed them for a long time and asked, "Is this a piece of cloth?"
Huo Xi nodded at him: "Well, we just got back a few boats. They were all made of cotton and linen."
"How many boats? That's a lot."
Huo Xi smiled sheepishly: "We only started the business of these worthless fabrics. Seventy percent of these boats are made of linen, and there is not much cotton."
After looking at the messy shop, I couldn't invite anyone to sit in, so I invited him: "Brother He Feng, may I invite you to sit in the restaurant?"
"Let's go to the tea house and be quiet."
"good."
Huo Xi responded, told Accountant Ding, and followed him to the tea house.
As he walked, he was puzzled. He Feng rarely came to the shop to see her. Even when he came, he came and went in a hurry. This time he actually took the initiative to go to the tea house with her.
The two chose a teahouse with a nice environment, asked for a private room, and sat down.
After Dr. Tea brought the tea and poured it, Huo Xicai asked: "Brother He Feng, are you taking a break today? Is there something wrong? If you need my help with anything, just ask."
He Feng picked up the tea and took a sip before speaking: "I have a business, I wonder if you can take it."
Huo Xi was very surprised: "Brother He Feng, do you want to introduce business to me? Thank you, brother He Feng."
He stood up and gave him a big salute.
Regardless of whether he can accept it or not, for a small business with only one shop in the capital, it would be a huge debt for a sixth-grade military attache to come and deliver the news in person.
He Fengxu helped her and motioned for her to sit down and talk.
"When I came here, I thought you might not be able to take it, but after just looking at it, I think Guangfeng Shui should be somewhat confident that you can take it."
Huo Xi was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "Brother He Feng, are you talking about cloth? The fabrics we make at Guangfeng Shui are all middle and lower layers. Seventy percent of what was shipped back this time is linen. Most people may not be able to see it. superior."
She also wanted to start a business in expensive fabrics, but she had no capital and no way to compete for a big business name.
"What I want is just linen. I also want cotton, but not much."
He Feng then explained the reason to her.
Huo Xi listened quietly at first. The more he listened, the faster his heart beat, and there was uncontrollable surprise on his face.
I don’t know if there will be a screen. I’m so scared right now that I don’t dare to write anything.
