Chapter 33 The Luo Family in Qiongzhou

"Okay, good, copper coins are copper coins, I'll go back and get them for you, okay? Then I'll ...... these two fish first" At this time, someone on the big boat behind was shouting, and the middle-aged man turned around and answered, with a smile on his face again.

"One hand of money and one hand of goods, two clear money and goods, I will wait for you for a quarter of an hour, and I will not wait for the obsolescence!" Hong Tao couldn't understand what the people on the big boat behind him were shouting, but he didn't want to take it away without giving him a piece of fish and meat.

"Good, good...... It's the first time I've seen a guy like you, and you don't look at the flag on the ship, do you know the Luo family in Qiongzhou? The middle-aged man made Hong Tao happy, he really didn't have a way to take Hong Tao's hob meat, at this time, Bo Xiaoer and Bo Xiaosan also finished the rolling hook and hurried over. No one wants to mess with the four Tan family members at sea, they are poor and worthless, and if they do, they will fight with you.

"A quarter of an hour...... Hong Tao has never heard of the Luo family in Qiongzhou, even if he has heard of it, it is useless, who will run from Qiongzhou to Zhenzhou to retaliate because of a few fish, isn't it because of eating too much.

The middle-aged man directed the sailor to row the boat back again, and then another person climbed down from the boat, and two baskets were continued, and the boat rowed back again. Hong Tao has been watching their every move, as long as the big ship has signs of raising the sails, he will let Bo Jiao raise the sails and run away, fortunately, the big ship is still motionless there, and there are a few more figures on the stern, as if they are also staring at this side.

"Oh, 50 times, can you count? Count them all! The fish are mine, right? When the bows of the two small boats touched the bows, the middle-aged man put a bamboo basket on Hong Tao's side with a bang, and the sound was quite heavy, and there were a circle of copper coins in it, which seemed to be a lot.

"Xiao Jiao, put the copper coins in the cabin and put these shark fins in a basket for them." Hong Tao picked up a string of copper coins at random with the tip of a harpoon, took it to his hand and looked at it, confirmed that it was copper, and then ordered Bo Jiao to start working. But the man who got down from the back of the big ship made him more vigilant, the middle-aged man in his 30s was wearing a cyan satin robe embroidered with flowers, no hat on his head, only a piece of silk wrapped around his head, his face was not black, but it was not white, and the three strands of beard were quite stylish, just holding his hands behind his back, staring at himself with good eyes, as if he was looking at an object.

"I have two big fish in that boat, do you want them? Count you cheaper! Seeing that Bo Xiaoer and they also rushed over, Hong Tao remembered that it was better to sell the catch to them together, it was not easy to catch up with such a big head, no matter what purpose they wanted to buy so many fish, it was true that the money was in hand anyway.

"Hahaha...... You're so cunning, these fifty times buy you a lot of fish, you still think we're cheaper? The middle-aged man made Hong Tao happy, he was afraid that he had never seen such a wealthy Tan family, and looked back at the person behind him.

"Yes! If you help me get on the ship, I'll give you another fifty pieces!" Do you dare? The green-robed man behind him finally spoke, his accent seemed to be lighter, his speed was not fast or slow, and he had the momentum of a big leader.

"Then forget it, we keep these two fish for ourselves, thank you a few, if you want to buy big fish in the future, just go to Zhenzhou and wait, there will be one in a few days!" Hong Tao is not the master who wants money and does not want to die, and he is sent on the boat, don't talk nonsense, what if you don't let me come down? But he didn't want to lose this big customer, so he had to leave a little clue.

"Little brother, I am from the Luo family in Qiongzhou, and I will not plot against your fish, but I listen to your accent a little deaf, presumably you are not a local, nor are you an inescapable northerner. I am a maritime merchant, I like to make friends with some strange people, just now I saw you fighting alone to kill the shark, very brave, so I was curious, I want to invite you to the boat to talk about it, what do you think? The green-robed man hugged his fist at Hong Tao this time, and said a reason in a crepe manner, and then looked at Hong Tao very sincerely, waiting for him to react.

"Wait, I'll ask my brother first......" Hong Tao didn't think he was talking nonsense, he was a broken fisherman, what could people do to him? But for the sake of insurance, he still has to consult the second brother to see what this Qiongzhou Luo family is.

"The Luo family is a big official in Qiongzhou, and there are also big ships in Zhenzhou, and they are the largest merchants on the island." Bo Xiaoer's answer disappointed Hong Tao, and he didn't know what the Luo family was doing.

"Second brother, let the third brother take Xiao Jiao to find Brother Huang Lang first, you follow this big ship in a boat, I'll go up and have a look, if possible, maybe I will find a big customer for us, and we won't have to sell fish in a scattered way in the future." Hong Tao thought about it, since he is the largest maritime merchant on Hainan Island, then he can chat, what he is not afraid of is chatting with merchants, as long as there are interests, merchants are good partners, this truth is the same in any dynasty.

"Good...... Why don't I go up with you? Two people can also take care of it! Grandpa, let me look at you......" Bo Xiaoer agreed with Hong Tao's method, but he was not very relieved that Hong Tao would get on the boat by himself, and he still remembered Bo Fu's instructions.

"No, if something happens, you can run first in the boat, it's better than being tied up together! Don't worry, I'll have no problem dealing with four or five by myself, it's a big deal that I jump into the sea to swim, you pick me up and I'll leave, I am also a member of the Tan family when it comes to swimming, and their natives can't catch up with me. Hong Tao couldn't talk too much to Bo Xiaoer, so he could only fool him.

"I've kept you waiting, I've arranged it here, let's go, I'll drag this fish for you!" Hong Tao is also simply, since you have thought about it, then do it! He stepped over the bow of the boat, reached out and grabbed a shark's tail from the sea, and sat down on the gang.

This big sea ship is not small from a distance, but it is even bigger when it gets closer, and the height of a three- or four-story building is that you have to tilt your neck to see the side of the ship. The way to get on the boat is also very special, there is no gangway, there is no gondola, just climb up with a rope net on the boat gang. Don't look at the blue-robed humanistic crepe, his hand is quite neat, faster than Hong Tao to climb.

"It's too stuffy in the cabin, so let's sit on the roof, okay?" When he got to the deck, Hong Tao's eyes were not enough, what was the sailing ship of this era like, today Hong Tao was the first time to observe it closely, and he didn't know what many small details were for, but he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he could only ponder in his mind. At this time, the man in the green robe stretched out his hand to the stern of the boat and made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead to lead the way to climb up the wooden stairs.
