Chapter 214 The Long-lost Smell

Chapter 214 A long-lost taste

In the end, an agreement was reached, and Huo Xi got 30%.

The spices of Knock are all rounded up, including seasonings such as pepper, cloves, and peppercorns, as well as modulating aromas such as ambergris, benzoin, and agarwood.

In the end, the carts hired by Huo Erhuai and Yang couldn't hold it, so they hurriedly hired several more.

"Do you think the little liar's smile just now was squeezed out?" Mu Yan put his hands behind his back and watched Huo Xi and others push the cart away.

"Master, are you too cruel? We don't do anything, but we need 70%? We are not very short of money now." Kaner couldn't bear to see Huo Xi pushing the cart and walking unsteadily.

"You think it's too much money? Don't take the monthly payment."

"No, Master!" Kan Er was frightened and hurriedly pulled at Mu Yan's sleeve, but Mu Yan brushed it away in disgust.

"Master, my good master!"

Kan Er surrounded him and smiled apologetically: "What I mean is that we have swallowed up a lot of Jun's properties in the southwest, and now we are not as short of money as before. It is not easy to be a young lady, and all the wealth is not what you are today.

Bring a lot of banknotes."

"There are so many people in the southwest, and they all reach out to me for money. How can it be easy for me to support so many people?" Mu Yan glared at him.

Kan Er was at a loss for words, so he couldn't help but look at Li Yi.

Li Yi ignored him and looked away.

"Master, please be reasonable. Madam Renhuo has a lot of people to support, including Shangyong. She just sent a thousand taels of silver there not long ago. She was afraid that people would know, so she secretly said who her aunt was.

Po, you take 70%..."

Seeing the young master staring at him, he quickly swallowed his words and touched his nose awkwardly.

"If there is any news in the future, please reveal it to her. Now the DPRK and China are imposing a maritime ban, developing maritime trade, and talking about building the city of Peking. They are arguing endlessly. When the news is confirmed in a few days, I will reveal it to her."

Mu Yan said lightly.

"Okay. Madam Huo is always one step ahead of business opportunities that others cannot see." Kan Er was very happy and said that the young master is soft-hearted.

"Master, why does Your Majesty want to build the city of Beiping? Is everyone's guess true and His Majesty really wants to move the capital?" Li Yi frowned.

"Is it so easy to move the capital? How much does it have to do with it?" Mu Yan's eyes were cold.

"The military generals raised objections one after another. If the capital is located in the north, there will be a flat river. The Tatars, Walas, and Ulyanhanas are all peoples on horseback. The Wu Dynasty ruled the Han people for hundreds of years. Isn't this a lesson? As for the civil servants,

We are a big family with many branches and branches. We are used to living in the south. How can we get used to it when we go to the north? There will be disputes."

Huo Xi, Huo Erhuai, Yang and others pushed a dozen carts back to the docking point of their own ship and loaded the goods onto the ship.

The guys who came with Guangfeng Shui on the ship all came up to move and store the goods.

Before the things were moved, Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai followed the man in the truck to transport the remaining goods.

On her own boat, Yang was also sorting out the things she had bought.

It was a rare trip and I bought a lot of things for my family. In addition to the dozens of coconuts, boxes of ornaments, food and fabrics, I also bought some.

Mrs. Yang liked those mirrors very much and bought several of them, saying that she would use them for herself or keep them to give away.

That mirror was a glass mirror of poorer quality. Although it was not as good as the quality Huo Xi had seen, it was much better than the bronze mirrors and glazed mirrors of this dynasty.

Huo Xi also bought a lot and planned to sell them in a shop in Sanyuan Lane.

While Yang was stacking things, Huo Nian stepped forward to help with a little help and took a look at Xiqi, while Huo Xi spread out his account book to keep records.

I bought a lot of things, including boxes of ornaments and handkerchiefs, and sent them to Sanyuan Lane to be sold as high-quality goods. Rattan materials, palm bamboo, etc. were sent to the shipyard.

Silu in the cloth is sent to Sanyuan Lane, green cloth, floral cloth, red cloth, beaten cloth, fur and so on. A small half is sent to the shops in the outer city, and the rest is sent to the shops in the north, or sent together with the spices to Tianjin Port and

Peking City.

Kingfisher feathers are sent to Qionghua Lane with female workers to process them before selling them.

There are also a few barrels of Suhe sesame oil from the Dashi Kingdom. Then I will find exquisite porcelain bottles and disassemble them into two and a half pieces to sell. A bottle is as big as a palm. I can make a lot of money by selling it for three to five taels of silver.

With Mr. Mu's ten thousand taels of silver, I bought a lot of spices, so I stopped leaving them in the capital to compete with the big merchants and shipped them all to the north.

Huo Xi thought about it in her mind while writing it down.

"Sister, sister..."

Pi Xiaozi came to shake her: "Sister, what are those strange things? You told the Mu brothers that they were fruits from the Ban people, but when Nian'er looked at them, they were all thick-skinned on the outside."

Huo Xi smiled and poked him, Pi Xiaozi, just now, he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Go to the bow and get the woodcutter and a big bowl of water."

"Okay!" Dendenden ran away.

After a while, he ran back again: "Sister, here it is."

Huo Xi took the knife, brought a coconut, sat on the deck, holding the coconut in one hand and a hatchet in the other, and chopped it on the coconut coat.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on!"

Mrs. Yang hurried out of the cabin with her heart in mind and snatched the knife from her hand: "This hatchet is sharp. Tell mother what to do."

Huo Xi then directed her to place the coconut on the deck, and asked her to half-hold the coconut with one hand and use a knife to chop it with the other hand. She split the coconut garment into petals, inserted the knife into the gap, and pointed the tip of the knife outward.

The other hand holds the coconut halfway and turns it inward...

The gray-brown coconut coating separated from the coconut shell.

The brown coconut velvet is still connected to the coconut casing and coconut shell. It comes off with a gentle cut. When the coconut velvet is cut away, only the round coconut with shell is left.

Then use the knife to split a small piece of coconut shell from the three coconut eyes on the head, and you will see the coconut meat. Then open the small piece of coconut meat with the tip of the knife, and the coconut water will spurt out.

"Nian'er, bring the bowl."

When Nian'er heard this, he quickly stretched out the bowl, squatted down, and stared at it carefully.

When my sister picked up the coconut and turned it upside down, the water flowed into the big bowl. She shouted, "Wow, there is water!" and licked her lips.

Huo Xi was afraid that the water would deteriorate if left for too long, so she picked it up and took a sip.

Sweet! Sweet in the throat!

Just like the taste in memory. It's so long ago that it's almost forgotten.

"Sister, what does it taste like?" Pi Xiaozi licked his lips and came over.

Huo Xi smiled and fed him something to drink. The boy drank several sips and made a satisfied sound.

"It's so sweet and delicious! Drink it, mother!" He took it to feed Yang, who took a few sips and was full of praise.

"No wonder Fan Ren has to take it all the way on the boat. If there is no water on the way, what kind of coconut can be used as water to drink. However, this is just used as water to drink. We just bought it to eat as a surprise. You still have to spend money.

Buy so much.”

Wrap Fanren's coconut into a round shape and make it dozens larger.

Huo Xi smiled: "Mom, there are many ways to eat this coconut."

"Sister, sister, I want to eat."

Huo Xi directed Yang to hold the coconut that had been emptied of water in the palm of his hand and tap it lightly in the middle with the back of the knife. After a few times, the coconut cracked in the middle. He split it with the knife in the middle.

The upper and lower halves.

Revealing the thick milky white coconut meat inside.

Yang cut a piece of coconut meat with the tip of the knife. Pi Xiaozi couldn't wait to take it, put it in his mouth and took a bite. He looked at Huo Xi and said, "Sister, it's a bit hard."

"Chew it slowly and eat it until it's chewy. Isn't it sweet?"

Pi Xiaozi nodded and fed his mother a mouthful, and his sister also fed her a mouthful.

Huo Xi smiled: "This meat is old and a bit hard to eat like this. Squeeze it into juice and grind it into juice, or grate it into shreds to make coconut paste. It can be used as filling for steamed buns and snacks. It is also delicious."

"Sister, Nian'er wants to eat!"

"Okay, let's eat after my sister goes to the blacksmith shop to get some grating tools. I'll buy a chicken tomorrow and make something delicious for you."

After hearing this, Pi Xiaozi looked at the dozens of coconuts with a look of anticipation on his face.
