Mu Yan returned to the carriage, still very angry, his chest heaving.
He said in a hateful voice: "Look at what she said? What kind of girl can I like? Who does she think of me?"
Li Yi and Kan Er were sitting on the shaft of the car, and they couldn't help laughing.
"Master, when you said that just now, it's normal for Miss Huo to misunderstand you."
As soon as Kan Er finished speaking, he heard a thud and something hit the car wall. He shrank his neck and pursed his lips.
While driving the car, Li Yi tilted his head toward the carriage: "Master, why didn't you explain just now? Gan San followed her just to protect her. And we agreed to give her Zhuangzi just to facilitate her actions, why do you want to break it? Have we heard about these things?"
There was silence in the carriage.
After a long time, something came out: "We have no connection with her, so why did we send people to protect her? How to explain? She is very careful to hide her life experience, so we'd better pretend not to know."
"yes."
As for why she wanted to hide the cane sugar...
He really wanted to know what she was going to do next. Her life was so colorful, and he wanted to see it too.
"Master, Madam Huo is buying land and property in Shuntian Mansion, should we buy some too?"
"Well, you go make arrangements."
"yes."
Yang Fu didn't expect that Xi'er would come back with five thousand taels of silver notes and the land deed of a village after just one trip.
After hearing what Huo Xi said, he was stunned for a long time.
"Then Master Mu will know what we do with Wu Youcai in the future?" Yang Fu frowned.
Huo Xi pondered for a while: "It doesn't matter if we know, he is on our side now. The more we earn, the more he will get. It's just that it would be great if we also had that kind of master, who can be with us to protect us all the way. It can detect whether others are following us."
"Where can we find such a person?"
Yang Fu felt that she was a bit fanciful. How could a family like theirs cultivate such a person?
"Yeah, how can we win over such a person?" Huo Xi was a little discouraged.
"Then why don't we use the villa given by Master Mu and find another way?"
Huo Xi shook his head: "I originally thought that we would take a boat for a few laps on the river, and then quietly transport it back to our house in Qionghua Lane, and then slowly think of a way. Now that we have this village, it is better than the house, and we can strike while the iron is hot. "
If you practice white sugar earlier, you can save some money.
Huo Xi took Yang Fu to buy things and ordered tools from a carpenter's shop.
The next day is the scheduled delivery time.
At the outer city dock, Wu Youcai did not come forward and only sent a steward. Huo Xi did not ask Zhu Ji to come forward again.
She only brought a few strangers with her. The two parties inspected the goods at the dock. Seeing that the goods and quantities matched, they unloaded and loaded the goods.
Wu Youcai's men directly let the cart pull 10,000 kilograms of fire salt and 200 Japanese fans back to the city.
Huo Xi asked the porters to load the goods onto the ship and sailed directly away from the dock. At the same time, he asked Yang Fu to notify Zhu Ji and ask him to follow Guangfeng Shui's ship north.
Huo Xi followed the boat into the Yangtze River along the Qinhuai River, then wandered in the Yangtze River for a long time, and then walked along the Qinhuai River towards Jiangjun Mountain again.
After rowing for a while, he saw his own boat waiting there. Huo Xi got on his boat.
"Sister! You are so slow. We have been waiting for you for a long time." "Xi'er, is everything going well?" Yang Fu glanced at the boat behind.
"Smooth." Wu Youcai didn't even make the slightest move, he handed over the goods easily, and no one followed him all the way.
Huo Xi took the water handed over by Yang and drank it in one gulp, then scratched the boy's nose: "Our ship is empty, but we can load it with cargo. Can we be faster than you?"
"No, it's dad who rows well!" Pi Xiaozi wrinkled his nose.
Huo Nian flattered his father, making Huo Erhuai so tight that he couldn't close his mouth. He rowed steadily and led the way for the other boat.
The boat belongs to Guangfeng Water, and the people are also our own.
"Sister, why did you buy so much cane sugar? There is still a lot of cane sugar at home."
"Sister is going to use it for business. When it sells for a big price and makes money, let's go buy some land and grow food then, okay? Let Nian'er and Mom collect the rent, okay?"
"Okay!" Pi Xiaozi clapped his little hands and was extremely happy. The family was going to buy a field again, and he could go to the countryside with his mother to collect rent again.
"Mom, take Nian'er with you next time." Hou came to Yang's side to look at her.
Yang smiled and took him into her arms: "Okay, my parents will definitely take Nian'er with them then."
After hearing Yang's answer, Huo Nian ran over to hug Huo Xi again. After a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he and Yang went to the stern of the boat to dry the fish and mend the fishing net.
Yang Fu came to Huo Xi's side: "Xi'er, with the things we bought, we can make white sugar from sucrose? Sugar that won't change the color of water?"
Huo Xi took Yang Fu shopping yesterday and told Yang Fu her plan. Yang Fu was half convinced.
Huo Xi didn't tell Shen Qianzhong about this. He only said that he would exchange the sucrose for other things, which would be of great use.
It's not that I don't trust him, I just think it's better to do less than to do more. Shen Luo is going to take the imperial examination, and he doesn't want him to know too much or be involved too much.
"Then why didn't you make it four years ago? It was much more difficult then than it is now. And at that time we also bought twenty shi of cane sugar in Huai'an." Yang Fu was puzzled.
"If this white sugar is produced, it will cause a sensation in the entire country. Our family has no background and cannot protect it. At that time, we will just sell prescriptions to build bridges for others."
Yang Fu nodded, he understood the principle of harboring guilt.
"So how do you sell it now? Are you not afraid of being known?"
"Now that the maritime ban has been lifted, we will not sell our products to our court. We have specifically sought out foreign merchants and sold them to them. They may not dare to speak out. Merchants know best how to run independent businesses. When they come to us, we will not recognize them.
.As long as it’s done more discreetly.”
"Is this person from Zhuangzi reliable? What if someone leaks it?"
"Don't be afraid. The deed of this servant of Zhuangzi is in our hands. When the time comes, we will take care of the final steps ourselves, without anyone noticing."
Yang Fu nodded. Although he was worried, he was willing to believe Xi'er. "By the way, what do you want me to do with Yan Ni on the ship? Shopkeeper Shen is still asking."
"I'm going to use it to make some cannons. When we're out on the boat, we can also use this to scare water thieves."
"Like the ones you did before?"
"Those are just simple fireballs, they can't be called cannons."
It's just a matter of putting some tung oil or liquor in a glass bottle, soaking cotton in it, opening the cork in case of danger, lighting a fire inside, throwing it onto the opponent's ship, and exploding a fireball. It's not very powerful, it just scares people.
This time she wants to find foreign merchants to do business and smuggle goods. She doesn't know what will happen to her, so she still wants to make something more powerful to save her life.
I don’t know if any words in this chapter will be blocked. If there is a Chacha, remember to tell Basho in the book review on Chacha.
