Chapter 35: The Broker
Jin Qiwu was still leaning against the trunk of the tree with his eyes closed and his mouth open for breath, and his hands were kneading his stiff calves vigorously, but he was only halfway there, and he didn't know if he could hold on.
Yongxin looked at the figure disappearing on the steep slope, and couldn't hear movement for a long time, and his heart was uneasy, "Second uncle, let's go find my sister-in-law." ā
Jin Qiwu didn't open his eyes, and waved his hand: "Call someone first, and then look for it if you don't respond." ā
Yongxin seemed to think of something, his face flushed, coughed lightly, and shouted, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." ā
The echo echoed in the woods, and the trees rustled in the wind.
In the middle of the sound, a figure slowly appeared on the steep slope.
Yongxin was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
I saw that Jin Yun still had hay on her head and dust on her face. The most interesting thing is that her already thin body is holding a huge rabbit.
The rabbit's desperate struggle never affected the expressionless Jin Yun.
"Little sister, I'm afraid that such a big rabbit can be sold for a lot of money, you are really amazing." Jin Qiwu didn't care about being tired, he got up and wanted to pick it up, you must know that this is money.
Jin Yun would let him take it, staring at him with straight eyes: "This is mine." ā
Jin Qiwu smiled and explained, "I'm not afraid that you won't be able to hold it steadily." ā
"Sister-in-law, why don't you put it in the bamboo basket." Yongxin mentions yƬ said, although rabbits are common, they can be fertile like this, and it is still difficult to encounter.
Jin Yun also shook her head and refused, it was safe to hold food in her own hands, this was her experience.
If she hadn't wanted to see the docks, she would have turned around and gone back right now, so that she could taste the hare.
The hare, who had been a lot quieter in his arms, thought that he sensed some malice, and pedaled even more violently.
encountered good things when he went out, which gave Jin Qiwu more confidence.
He lifted his stiff legs and stepped forward step by step with determination and ambition.
When he came to Yuanli Town, Yongxin took the two of them to the deep alley again, and Master Wei's voice was still so loud, and when he saw them take out the pig iron, he didn't ask where it came from.
Directly on the counter ten taels of silver and two pieces of silver crushed silver.
"Don't take some goods?" Master Wei asked.
"There's still some left at home." Yongxin smiled bitterly and shook his head, how could anyone dare to come to the door now.
After speaking, he took out a piece of silver and said, "Master Wei, I think it's better to settle the account, I'm afraid I won't have time to come over at the end of the month." ā
Master Wei didn't answer, leaned back on the chair lazily, and said indifferently: "It's already deducted, your kid has made a fortune, will I still be polite?" ā
Yongxin's heart couldn't help but warm, such a small piece of medium-sized fine iron could be sold for twelve taels was already a high price, and Master Wei also offset the previous arrears.
Jin Qiwu was a little anxious, he pulled the sleeve of Layongxin's shirt and hinted at him with his eyes.
Master Wei saw it and asked, "What, where are you going?" ā
Yongxin saw that it was not early, so he said, "We are going to go to the dock to see if there is any work." ā
"Exactly." Master Wei took the medium-sized fine iron he had just received and handed it over: "There is a Kong family boat at the dock, you give him the iron, saying that it is surnamed Wei, and he will understand." ā
"The Kong family's ship? Master Wei, which boat is it, can you tell me more about it? "It's priceless, Yongxin doesn't dare to give it away.
Master Wei laughed, and the beams of the roof trembled. "There is only one Kong family shipper at the dock, and you will naturally know when you go."
Until he walked out of the alley, Yongxin was a little abrupt, he was busy on weekdays, and he didn't go to the dock much, but he only remembered that the crowd was crowded.
Master Wei's explanation is simple and simple, but he doesn't know who the other party is, so he is afraid of giving it to the wrong person.
The wharves of Yuanli Town are bustling with activity, and the streets are full of vendors and people carrying goods in a hurry.
Jin Yun looked at it, and the foreground was full of a clear sea, and she couldn't see the end, and the sea breeze blew the black hair on her shoulders, and she squinted her eyes comfortably.
There seemed to be no noise in her ears, and her hand couldn't help but caress the fat rabbit she was holding.
Although Yongxin is not full of economy, but still literate, before he arrived at the dock he saw a big flag hanging in the air, on which the word "hole" was written, strong and powerful, majestic.
Several people walked in this direction, Jin Qiwu knew his intention, and he couldn't help but look around, and the more he looked, his heart became lower and lower.
Not to mention whether there is a principal or not, it is definitely not possible to set up stalls, the streets on both sides are full of vendors, there are several different stalls for the same item, although there are many people coming and going, but there are few people staying in the stalls.
was looking at the goods, Jin Qiwu didn't try it, he knew that the bulging bag would definitely not be able to do it.
He wiped the beads of sweat that came out in a hurry, and the panic in his heart grew heavier and heavier.
Shu's eyes with hatred kept appearing in front of his eyes.
Jin Yun is tempted, and Jin Qiwu is like ashes.
Plus a Yongxin who stretches his neck and looks hard.
The three of them are unusual, and it is not good to attract attention.
Especially the thin little girl in the middle of the house, who was still holding a huge rabbit.
Xu is comfortable to be petted, the rabbit is tilted up, his eyes are closed, and his long ears are cute.
The closer he gets, Yongxin feels that his eyes are not enough to see.
I thought it was a ship, but I didn't expect more than a dozen large and small ships docked on the shore, and several of them were shocking.
I was about to move forward, and I didn't want to be stopped by someone.
"Stop, you can't go in front."
The person who spoke was very burly, and Yongxin fixed his eyes to see that they had almost walked into someone's private place.
He was a little embarrassed, and said a little nervously: "Someone dragged me to bring something to your shopkeeper." ā
"Boy, the head of our family is not something that can be seen casually." After this man finished speaking, he and the person opposite burst into laughter.
Yongxin didn't feel embarrassed, although they may not like what they said, but there was no sarcasm or embarrassment in their eyes.
"I don't know if the two of you can report it, it's Master Wei from the deep alley, Blacksmith Wei, who asked me to come over."
"Who?" One of them was stunned and asked.
Yongxin was a little shy, he had known Master Wei for many years, but he never knew his name, so he could only say again: "Master Wei in the deep lane." ā
The two of them had solemn expressions and asked with some stammering, "Wei ...... What did Master Wei ask you to bring here? ā
Yongxin hesitated a little, but was secretly pushed by the second uncle next to him.
Jin Qiwu was panicked and a little anxious, and he really didn't want to waste time on this matter.
Yongxin looked at the sister-in-law again, and the sister-in-law seemed to have given a lot of ideas at the near end, and turned her head meaningfully hoping that she could say something.
But he completely forgot about it, and his sister-in-law was much younger than his age.
Jin Yun didn't pay attention to her, playing with the fat rabbit's fluff, and absentmindedly looking around the scene.
"That's it." Yongxin couldn't make sure that there were no other hole flags around, and took out the pig iron in his arms.
The burly man took a look, stiffened his face, reached out and took it over to look at it carefully, and made sure that it was only a small piece of medium-fine iron.
If it weren't for hearing Master Wei's name, he would have the idea of being called out in the future, just such a small thing, and it was specially sent to the head of the family.
The little man next to him was more clever, he looked at the other party, and his mind turned to understand, and asked, "We received the things, and we will send them to the head of the family." I see that a few of them have a difficult face, so I guess there is something else going on when they come to the docks, right? ā
"Exactly, the second uncle in the family wants to see if there is a job, so as to fill the family." Yongxin said truthfully.
"Oh." Hearing this, the little man looked at the middle-aged man, who was of medium height, with a worried expression, obviously it was not hot weather, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were pouring out drop by drop.
He pondered for a moment and laid out the situation of the wharf one by one: "If you still have some silver taels in your hands, you can rent a commercial house by the wharf and do some small business." In this place, there are really not a few shops that will lose money. ā
Yongxin smiled, he didn't need to ask to know that the commercial house by the dock would definitely not be able to afford to rent.
The little man saw his expression, and did not sneer, but continued sincerely: "But as far as you are concerned, there is a job for you. ā
"What is it?" Jin Qiwu hurriedly asked, with hope in his eyes.
The little man has seen a lot of people, he looks at the middle-aged man a little wolf, his face is good, compared with the young man next to him, he does not seem to be a simple and loyal person, he does not hide his selfishness, and spit out two words.
"Broker."
