Chapter 94: pier

  Chapter 94 Dock

   "Huo Xi, you can't do this. You've been in the water for half a year, right? Why aren't you used to it?" Qian Xiaoxia joked.

   Immediately, Yang Fu gave him a hard gouged look, "You can do it, didn't you just keep shaking?"

   Apart from those boys who couldn't bear to go ashore to watch the excitement, there were also many adults like Mrs. Sun.

  When they saw it, they all smiled and said: "Let's not say that Huo Xi is a kid, we adults are not used to it either. I have been nested on the boat for three days, and I haven't been off the ground."

  Huo Xi slowed down, smiled at everyone, and followed them towards the pier.

  Looked at everyone, most of them were empty-handed. Only Yang Fu carried a backpack at her request.

   There are cotton and silk samples inside. And the fish **** made by Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai last night.

   I'm afraid it won't be easy to put, so I have fried them in oil.

  Don't expect to get back the money, it's just a medium, Huo Xi plans to inquire about some news while selling fish balls.

  The further you walk towards the wharf archway, the louder the noise, and everyone is very excited.

  Huo Xi walked and watched all the way, there were many vendors selling food and various products, it was bustling and bustling, which attracted everyone in Taoyedu to look at it all the way, the slower and slower they walked, the team broke up.

  Huo Xi saw a stall selling tea, so he bought two cups for himself and Yang Fu to quench their thirst. Seeing Zou Sheng and Qian Xiaoxia following him, he bought them a cup as well.

  Qian Xiaoxia was looking for his mother to get a copper coin, so he got a cup of tea and was so happy that he decided not to be with his mother anymore, so he followed the uncle and nephew.

  As they walked, several people looked at the stalls of the vendors, and pricked up their ears while walking. When you see something strange, you stop and look at it.

stop-and-go.

  After seeing various stalls selling food, Huo Xi felt hungry again, so he bought a lot more along the way, and several of them shared the food.

   At this time, apart from Qian Xiaoxia and Zou Sheng, there was another man named Ma Xiang who followed his uncle and nephew.

   Everyone has their own interests, and they all got separated during this walk.

   Ma Xiang is older than all of them, at eighteen. He and his brother Maggie were both of marriageable age, but neither married.

  The family is poor, and there are only these two brothers left.

  Before departure, the two brothers were worried about not having enough money to buy goods to take them to the north. They heard that the Huo family said that they could lend them money to buy the goods if they helped bring the goods, and they were not worried about not being able to sell them, so they could let the Huo family help them sell them.

  The two brothers are grateful. When his younger brother Ma Xiang got ashore, he followed closely beside Huo Xi and Yang Fu.

  He himself is eighteen years old, he can act as an adult, walk with Huo Xi and Yang Fu, and he can also help protect them.

   Huo Xi bought food, but Ma Xiang and Zou Sheng refused, and they also shared the food.

   "This Huai'an pie is really big, with enough meat, it's delicious." Qian Xiaoxia opened and closed his mouth.

   "Five cents a piece, is it delicious!" Yang Fu rolled his eyes at him.

   "The capital still sells six pieces of paper, which is not as big as this."

   "Do you sell Liuwen?"

   "Yeah, it's near the fish market street, haven't you eaten it? Don't you often go to town?"

   "I'm not as greedy as you."

   "There are a lot of rich people in the capital, and the cakes they make are small and exquisite. This is a wharf, and many people do hard work. How can they be full when they are so small?"

   Huo Xi continued walking with them while talking. While gnawing on the pie in his hand, he observed the sellers and buyers around him.

   "This is the rattan rope and hemp material brought by the capital. The quality is good."

   "I have **** and pepper brought by the capital..."

   "I have lotus root powder here..."

  Huo Xi was attracted. Did the capital bring it out? So he pulled Yang Fu and others to stand aside and stare.

   "It turns out that they, like us, also came out of transporting grain this time."

  Huo Xi nodded: "It should belong to ship A and B." Ship C stopped behind them, and it should be behind them if they go ashore.

   "They also sell goods." Yang Fu took Huo Xi's hand and whispered in her ear.

  Huo Xi nodded, there is no shortage of smart people in this world. This time the fishermen were confiscated, but they didn't get a penny. Everyone tried to find a way to bring some goods and sell them. There is nothing wrong with earning a lot of money.

  Huo Xi looked at it for a while, and then walked forward. This will pay more attention to people talking in twos and threes.

  These people are not chatting, they are selling their own goods, asking and bargaining.

  Huo Xi and his party also encountered several waves of mysterious people, who approached them and asked if they wanted salted fish.

   "We vomited from eating seafood, and even asked the fishermen if they want salted fish." Qian Xiaoxia curled his lips, feeling that these sellers didn't even look at them at all.

  When I think of the salted fish, dried fish, and Qian Xiaoxia that I can’t eat all year round, I completely reject it.

  Huo Xi smiled. No explanation either.

   These people should not be selling salted fish, but selling private salt.

  Huai'an is a big county for salt transportation, and the smuggling of salt is very profitable. Even if the smuggling of salt is caught in this dynasty, it will be a hundred rods first, and then exiled and distributed for several years. But there are always people who stand up and take risks.

  I can’t even eat food. If you can make a fortune through smuggling salt, most people will follow suit.

  Qian Xiaoxia and Yang Fu were still discussing who would buy salted fish, but Huo Xi didn't explain, just walked and watched.

   A group of people walked to the busiest part of the pier.

  The bustle of Huai'an Wharf is more than that of Guazhou Wharf, but not less. There were people coming and going on the pier, and the shops were constantly flowing, and Huo Xi was dazzled by the shop flags.

  The archway with the words "Huai'an Wharf" is tall and beautiful, with three rooms and four columns.

   "Wow, it looks so good."

  While several people were staring at the archway, Huo Xi moved his eyes to the grain mountains on the pier. Looking at both sides of the wharf, all kinds of ships are parked, and some porters are constantly moving grain from the tank boats.

  Huo Xi took Yang Fu, who was still unable to recover, to find a place with many vendors, put out a few packs of lotus leaves in the basket, and spread out one of them.

  Looking like others, I started to sell: "Sell fish balls, fresh and delicious fish balls, delicious and not expensive."

  Huo Xi's childish crisp voice sounded.

  Yang Fu was only taken aback, and then followed suit. He has helped sell fish countless times, and under Huo Xi's training, he is very skilled in hawking and hawking to attract customers.

   Qian Xiaoxia, Zou Sheng and Ma Xiang were stunned. Aren't you looking at the archway? Why are you selling things here? He still looks familiar, as if he has been to Huai'an Wharf countless times.

   Seeing that his uncle and nephew quickly surrounded a circle of people, they rushed to help.

   "It's deep-fried, aunt, it's not cheap."

   "It's all made of fresh fish, without any fish bones. You can't get a few fish **** from a catty of fish. Ten cents and four are not expensive."

  The fish **** looked big and smelled oily, and the basket of fish **** was sold out quickly.

  Seeing Huo Xi carrying a purse full of copper coins, clanging, Qian Xiaoxia was envious and jealous.

  He just asked his mother for money, but his mother only gave him two pennies and sent him away. Look at how much money Huo Xi can bring alone.

  Good mood.

  Zou Sheng looked at Huo Xi, his eyes began to glow. Just now he wanted to help, but he opened his mouth, but he was too embarrassed to help, and only helped to see if anyone took advantage of the chaos.

   Now he vaguely knew that he was different from Huo Xi and Yang Fu.

   And Ma Xiang followed the children, and originally only wanted to be an adult and protect the children, but unexpectedly, he was taught a lesson by the two children.

  He is also thin-skinned, so he is too embarrassed to shout.

  When several people wanted to ask Huo Xi to talk about their feelings just now, they saw Huo Xi running towards a middle-aged man.

   Everyone, good morning
