In the highest three-story restaurant near the pier, Tao Bao and Gao Wu sat by the window and chatted while drinking tea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gao Wu casually asked while looking at the busy scene on the dock, "Miss Tao, do you often go out without an escort?"

Tao Bao took a chopstick from the bamboo tube on the table, pinched it with his index finger and thumb, and gently turned it towards the table, "It's more convenient to be alone, but it is in the way of bringing a guard." ”

Seeing that the chopsticks in Tao Bao's hand were slowly inserted into the table, the corners of Gao Wu's mouth twitched slightly, he knew that this was not a simple person, he had fixed his subordinates before, and now he used chopsticks to penetrate the table, and he didn't expect that he was a master of internal strength.

Gao Wu nodded and agreed: "Indeed, for Miss Tao there is no need for guards at all, the girl speaks English very well, she must have been to Great Britain, I don't know which fleet Miss Tao's family is?"

"It's not a fleet, I'm just running around with other people's fleets alone, and Great Britain only followed my grandfather once when I was a child, and I don't know what it has changed now, you just came from there, can you tell me about it?"

Tao Bao is now like an innocent and curious little girl, but with her proficient English, Gao Wu doesn't believe it.

"There is no change, it's still the same as before, by the way, Miss Tao, since you are alone, do you have the idea of joining the fleet? After all, it is not safe to always go to other people's fleets. Gao Wu asked with a smile.

There are people who can speak foreign languages proficiently, but they are not what their fleets can have, not only can they speak foreign languages, but the force value is also high, not to mention their fleet, even the big shippers in Guangdong Province do not necessarily have them, Tao Bao is a talent, Gao Wu naturally wants to win over his own fleet.

Tao Bao shook his head, "I'm used to being free, I'm not used to joining the fleet, but I want to go outside to see, executives, when will your fleet leave next, and where are you going?" ”

Although Tao Bao rejected his request, it is not bad to have a list to do, Gao Wu said with a smile: "Our fleet belongs to a team of the Shen family, there are two ships, generally for home use, the remaining warehouses are limited, next time to next year, after the year, the specific time and route is not clear, but the end point is still Great Britain, what goods do you plan to bring, there are too many but there is no place." ”

"Don't worry, it won't be too much, how do you calculate this fare?" Tao Bao asked.

"The import and export tax is self-packaged, and the freight is calculated according to the distance and the amount of goods, generally one hundred catties are calculated according to two hundred taels, and if you bring more people, the charge will be calculated separately. ”

Gao Wu said very clearly, Tao Bao also understood, it is not bad to take someone else's boat without a boat, although you can't do big business, but it is okay to do some small business first to accumulate capital and familiarize yourself with the route.

"There are not many people, just myself, bring two people at most, I have to trouble the senior management first, you leave a place for me first, I must go after the year." Tao Bao said sincerely.

"This is no problem, Miss Tao speaks a foreign language well, and I have to bother you to help me when the time comes, the people in our fleet can count the slap in the face of a foreign language, and she doesn't speak very well, and she usually relies on gestures. ”

As if remembering something funny, Gao Wu couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

Tao Bao raised the teacup, "It's no problem, I don't dare to blow anything else, I'm the best at speaking foreign languages, and when the time comes, you can come to me for senior affairs!"

Gao Wu also raised the teacup, touched Tao Bao funny, and drank it all, "It's the first time to drink tea like this, it's really a bit strange." ”

"How does it taste?" Tao Bao asked with a smile, causing Gao Wu to burst into laughter again, attracting the attention of the surrounding diners.

The two poured a pot of tea together and went downstairs together.

When he arrived on the main street, Gao Wu raised his hand to signal Tao Bao not to go any further, and asked with a smile:

"Okay, okay, Miss Tao, you stay, I should go back to the house to report to the head of the house, by the way, Miss Tao, where do you live? ”

"I live in the Lin family. ”

"The Lin family?" Gao Wu's eyes widened in surprise, "You are Miss Lin Family?"

After speaking, he slapped himself on the head again, "No, Miss Lin is still young." ”

"I am Miss Lin's daughter-in-law, and after the time is confirmed, the troublesome senior management will send someone to the Lin family to inform me. Tao Bao said with a smile.

Gao Wu suddenly realized, remembered what he had just said, smiled awkwardly, and left in a hurry in response to Tao Bao's words.

Tao Bao shook his head helplessly, and while it was still early, he asked for the way to the pawnshop.

"I have some jewelry to pawn, and I bother the boss to show me how much it is worth. ”

Tao Bao threw the small bag he had prepared in his hand to the high counter in front of him, waiting for the boss to quote.

When the shopkeeper at the counter heard that it was jewelry, he immediately lost interest, took down the small bag on the counter, prepared to see what it meant and then quoted according to the rules.

The bag was not ordinary gold and silver jewelry, but a variety of jewelry inlaid with gems that he had never seen, and one by one he took them out and put them in the tray, there were seven or eight kinds, and each piece was exquisitely shaped, the gemstone color was full, and the cutting surface was very shiny.

It's not much worse than the one used by the nobles in the palace, and there are even two pieces that look better than those used by the nobles in the palace.

Tao Bao waited for a long time and didn't hear the shopkeeper's offer, and his heart was a little empty, are these modern handicrafts worthless?

Just thinking about it, the shopkeeper's voice came out, "Do you deserve all eight of them?"

Tao Bao nodded without hesitation, "It's all done!"

"Is the guest dead or alive?"

"Die!" Since he can sell it for money, Tao Bao does not plan to take it back.

A sound of planning sounded, and then the shopkeeper's voice came out again, "Eight pieces of jewelry, seven thousand taels, dead?"

"Dangdang dang!" Tao Bao couldn't wait to take the money and run, what if the shopkeeper regretted it? These things can be sold for so much money completely beyond Tao Bao's expectations, I knew that there would be more goods in the first place.

But you can't be too greedy, seven thousand taels is enough.

Then a few silver tickets were sent out from the counter, as well as pawnshop transaction slips, Tao Bao saw that there was red clay next to the counter, and happily pressed his handprint on the transaction slip.

The list was handed to the shopkeeper, the silver ticket was held by himself, and Tao Bao hummed a song and happily shook back to the Lin Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that something was wrong, Li Bo, who was guarding the door, was not there, and was replaced by a kid Tao Bao had never seen, and the house was a little too quiet.

Walking all the way to the door of the hall, Tao Bao saw that the living room was full of people, both men and women, and Jia Min, who pretended to be sick in bed, was actually neatly dressed and sitting in the main seat.

And under her sat a man, dressed in ragged coarse clothes, and his hair was a little messy, and when he looked closely, he looked a little familiar.

I think I've seen it somewhere......

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, Tao Bao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then looked at the man carefully, that familiar face, isn't it Jia Yucun!
