Li Shiwu and Wu smiled and looked at Huo Xi, and were very pleased to see that she had grown taller and wider.
"We haven't seen you for a long time, and we are all thinking about you. I just received your message, and there is a boat, so your uncle and I wanted to come and see you."
"Furthermore, it's convenient to come and see the excitement of Ningbo Port. We haven't been here yet. If we couldn't get away from home, your uncle and aunt would want to come. Look at Yin'er and Yi'er..."
Mrs. Wu cooed at her two grandsons.
Huo Xi turned around to look.
Seeing Yin'er and Yi'er staring at the people and ships on the pier, their eyes widened and they couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh.
"Exactly the same as Nian'er before."
Wu laughed after hearing this, asked Huo Nian a few more questions, and felt relieved to see that he was fine.
"It won't delay your business, right?" Li Shiwu was a little worried.
Huo Xi shook his head: "It's okay. Everything has been taken care of. The shipment of this cargo this time is an extra surprise. The cargo can be stored, and I am not in a hurry to return to Beijing."
That's good. The two old men let out a sigh of relief, fearing that they would delay their children's affairs.
Huo Xi asked Xiang Xiang to accompany Wu and Yin'er Yi'er to watch the fun, and asked two escorts to follow. She then reconciled with Shen Qianzhong and Li Shiwu.
"You are in a hurry this time. I have shipped all the silk I have in stock for you. I originally planned to ask your uncle Yu to transport it to Songjiang. I also went to the Jiaxing shop to bring all the stock in the warehouse. In two days,
The county purchased some, a total of three thousand pieces. There was no time to dye them, so most of them were white silk cloth."
Huo Xi nodded and looked at the cost of the silk.
Shen Qianzhong did not know the specific relationship between Li Shiwu and Huo Xi.
As soon as Li Shiwu got the oral message, he spent all his money to move out the cloth and contact merchants to buy goods. Songjiang's shop was also handed over to the second son of the Li family.
Shen Qianzhong knew that his employer had a close relationship with the Li family.
Said: "Three thousand horses is a lot. I never expected that we could get so many in such a short time. Thanks to the hard work of Uncle Li and his family."
Li Shiwu then said: "Xi'er's matter is my family's matter."
He turned to Huo Xi and smiled and said, "You kid is lucky enough to have someone as capable as Shopkeeper Shen work for you. But you have to treat him like one of your own family members and don't let him go."
Huo Xi nodded in agreement, knowing that her uncle was teaching her.
Shen Qianzhong laughed: "If it hadn't been for meeting his employer, how would Shen be today? Maybe my father and son would still be carrying bags for others at the pier in Beijing."
A few people chatted and laughed a bit. They bought a lot of silk and half a boatload of porcelain, but not much tea.
"If you want to buy more tea, you need a tea guide. Being able to buy these few hundred kilograms has already made a lot of connections." Li Shiwu felt a little regretful that he could not help Xi'er.
Huo Xi comforted him: "It's okay. I didn't have high hopes. These are enough. I can exchange them for more things with my friends."
After checking the accounts, Huo Xi took Shen Qianzhong and Lei Da to find the two Bo Ni people to exchange goods. Li Shiwu went to find Wu and his two grandsons.
The two Boni people were very happy to see that Huo Xi had shipped another shipment of goods. They took Huo Xi to pick out a shipment of goods, and helped load the goods that had been stored on their ship.
Huo Xi transported a total of three shipments of goods, in exchange for some valuable rare and exotic goods such as jewelry, jade, spices and sandalwood, which could be loaded in two ships.
The transaction was completed, and Huo Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
The two Bo Ni people asked for Huo Xi's address in the capital, and Huo Xi gave it to them. The two Bo Ni people were very happy.
When they come again in the future, or someone who is familiar with them comes to Wei Dynasty again, it will be easier to have someone who is so close to them and understands their hometown dialect.
In order to express their gratitude, the two Bo Ni people also gave Huo Xi several exquisite handicrafts.
Huo Xi didn't refuse and accepted it.
It was handed over to Li Shiwu and Wu. The two refused, but happily accepted it.
"This lacquer box is so beautiful! What kind of carving is it? It's so white. Is it jade?"
"No, it's ivory."
"It turns out this is ivory. The teeth are so long, so how big the elephant must be!" Wu was very surprised.
"That elephant can carry people, and it can even carry a small house on its back." Huo Xi said with a smile.
"Really? Sister Xi'er, the elephant can still carry the house on its back?" Li Yin and Li Yi had not been out much, but this time they went out, which opened their eyes a lot.
Seeing Huo Xi smiling and nodding, the two children screamed: "It would be great if we also had elephants here. We could let them help carry their things."
"The elephant walks too slowly, slower than an ox cart, so it is not cost-effective to use it to carry things." Huo Xi teased the two children, "What did Yin'er and Yi'er see at the pier? You two didn't
Seasick, awesome!”
The two children were somewhat proud of the praise and chattered around Huo Xi about the strange things they saw on the pier.
After the transaction was completed, Huo Xi took Li Shiwu, Wu and their two children for a few days of shopping at the dock and in the city. They also bought a lot of things and bought gifts for their two aunts and uncles.
It was a rare visit for Li Shiwu and Mr. Shi. Now that his family's life was better, they were willing to spend money. Seeing that the fan cloth they brought was quite beautiful and the price was right, they bought a lot of it.
After seeing enough of the excitement and thinking about things at home, Li Shiwu and Wu wanted to return to Huzhou.
Before leaving, Huo Xi took them to have dinner at a restaurant by the pier.
While eating, there was a commotion on the dock. Several people looked up.
I saw a woman leading two and a half-year-old children, who were playing with a pair of beards. The diners in the restaurant were watching and talking.
"That's a bit too much. It's not like the money was taken from his pocket. It was paid to her man by the captain of the ship, and she's still holding on to it. That's the money she used to treat her illness."
"You have put it in the pocket of the head, and you still want him to spit it out? It is said that the head eats people but does not spit out bones. He always does the work on the dock. The movers and porters all listen to him in order to have a share of the work. They do this.
How can a big dock not have some background?"
"It's so pitiful. I heard that one of her men's legs was crushed. He ate, drank, and defecated on the bed. He didn't want to drag his wife and children down, so he banged his head against the wall several times. Tsk tsk."
People who knew about it in the restaurant were talking a lot, shaking their heads and sighing.
Huo Xi raised his eyes and looked at the woman with the child, and saw that she had just knelt down before the head, and was kicked aside by the head in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the leader was about to leave, the woman crawled over and grabbed the leader's clothes, but the leader called for a lot of effort to pull her away. The woman tightly held on to the leader's clothes and used the head to push her away.
I tried to grab her, but she wouldn't let go.
Huo Xi couldn't help but shake her head.
No matter when, the people at the bottom are living a difficult life, and they have no place to appeal if they have reasons.
Seeing how miserable he was, he couldn't do anything. He just turned his eyes away and invited everyone to eat. Li Shiwu's eyes were fixed on that side.
