The one hundred and thirty-first piglet is coming
Sai Jinhua ** Yun was completely stunned, but the other people in the room were watching the excitement like no one.
In Feng Laosi's words: "Even if you are a little woman, you can still run out of his palm, and don't you look at these people who are all around him now?" The guy here is not a human sperm, my third child and I were forced by a bunch of hungry wolves, Albert was attracted to a beautiful Europe, and the remaining two stupid people were frightened by his ruthlessness, what are you capable of? ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Captain Aiken appeared at the door wearing a straight captain's suit, entered the door without any politeness, and elegantly raised his big-brimmed hat to the lady who was staying, nodded, and then said to Gao Hongsheng, who was looking at him, "Madame is disturbing." Gentlemen, something urgent needs to be taken up now, don't you know how convenient? ”
Brooke preemptively translated Captain Aiken's words, and Gao Hongsheng waved his hand at Aiken indifferently and said, "Aiken, what's wrong?" It's okay, this lady will be our translator from now on. While answering, the identity of ** Yun was directly determined.
**Yun looked at Gao Hongsheng without turning a corner, he really couldn't think of how this person could be so domineering, and even directly introduced his identity to others without his consent, didn't he worry about his death and didn't agree? But even if he dies, he still has to find trouble with his family, what kind of person is he?
"Gentlemen, a deal has been made, and isn't one of our bottom compartments empty? Now a couple of Americans have come over and want to use our bottom compartment to take some piglets to the Philippines and transfer them from there to Brazil, and of course we can just bring the piglets to the Philippines. A piglet they pay us two pounds, how about gentlemen? It's a good deal. After Aiken introduced Brooke, he hurriedly translated.
"How many piglets are there? How many can we pack? Hong Jincai didn't understand what a piglet was, but instead became a piglet of a domestic pig and asked first.
"What piglet is so valuable, two pounds for shipping alone? How many piglets do you have to buy? Feng Laosi also asked curiously.
"There are more than 180 piglets in total, and our shipyard can hold more than 300 piglets, if you want to load them, you can wait an extra day or two to make up for them. A very good deal. Aiken replied earnestly.
"So let's decorate the piglets enough for this distance, it's really a good deal, let's take it." As soon as Hong Jincai heard that it was a deal of more than 300 pounds, he also gained momentum, and he directly wanted to follow the deal.
Gao Hongsheng thought about it for a while, smiled and said, "Aiken, we took over this business, um!" Just fill it up, I just have some things to take care of here. ”
"Yes, sir. You talk next, I'll go out first. Aiken said hello and turned to leave the cabin.
Seeing Aiken go out, Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai said with a smile: "It's really good to have a boat!" Waiting for the sale to come to the door, it seems that we want to live in the cabin is not to think about it, decorate the piglets for so much money, if the other warehouses also contain piglets, how much money? ”
Indeed, the bottom compartment is the worst place in the environment, not only is there no ventilation, there is no light at all, but it is also extremely damp, and generally the place is filled with some coal and other things that are not afraid of moisture, otherwise it can only be empty.
Now that a single bottom warehouse can come out with a benefit of more than 300 pounds, it is simply like giving money away for nothing.
In fact, Aiken is still a somewhat conscientious captain, but the report says that there are more than 300 vacancies, and if it is a black-hearted captain, at least five or six hundred people will be installed for you in the bottom compartment of the bare ship.
At that time, the fast sailing ships loaded with piglets shipped to the Americas were generally only more than 500 tons, but they all carried three or four hundred piglets, and less than two-thirds of them were lucky enough to survive along the way.
In fact, it is also a process of elimination, and only the strongest people can survive in that situation, which is also one of the methods commonly used by slave traders to select slaves.
Feng Laosi and Hong Jincai knew what the "piglets" here were, and if they knew that it was Chinese, they would have jumped up a long time ago. Gao Hongsheng didn't break it, mainly because he was afraid that these two people would mess things up, and wait for someone to send it to the ship, otherwise what if the grass startled the snake and the people disappeared?
But the problem is that Sai Jinhua, a person who is messing around in Shanghai, knows that after listening to the conversations of several people, she immediately turned her face when she saw Gao Hongsheng's indifferent attitude and the attitude of laughing with a few other people.
Teng stood up suddenly, stared at a pair of apricot eyes, and asked loudly with a flushed face: "Gao shopkeeper, are you still from the Qing Kingdom?" How can you help foreigners harm the country, don't you know what a pig is? ”
Sai Jinhua's sudden reaction stunned everyone, I really couldn't understand why she reacted so much? It's just a few hundred piglets, what's the big deal.
Albert, Brooke and John certainly understood what the piglets meant, but in this era, the ships that traveled abroad were all shipped, and everyone was emptying the bottom warehouse to ship the piglets, so it was not a secret to make up for the cost of freight, so the fierce reaction to Sai Jinhua was also a little surprised.
You must know that when I talked about her future situation just now, I didn't react as much as I do now, why did I react so much because of a little piglet?
Gao Hongsheng smiled faintly at the ** Yun who stood up and said: "I am not from the Great Qing Kingdom, I am Chinese, of course I know what the piglets are, do you want to know their fate?" You just stay on the ship, it seems like nothing to wait two more days, and you just arrange the things at home, which is a thousand pounds of settling-in money, you can take it. ”
After speaking, he ignored Sai Jinhua's angry expression, took out a wad of pounds from his arms, and intently checked the banknotes in his hand.
"I don't want your pounds, I can go with you, but you must save those piglets." Sai Jinhua **yun shouted loudly at Gao Hongsheng.
Gao Hongsheng raised his head and looked at the staring ** Yun, stuffed the pound in his hand into his arms, and then clasped his ears and eyes with his little finger, tilted his head to her and said, "What are you shouting!" I'm just telling those piglets about their fate now, do they believe it? On the contrary, they will think that I have cut off their financial means, and when the time comes, what do you say? ”
**I don't know what to do at once, yes! I, the wife of the minister of the four countries who had been to Europe, of course knew the fate of those piglets abroad.
But if you tell them now, they have a few who believe.
You must know that they have all signed an agreement, and it is said that if they give 15 taels to more than 20 taels of silver a year, that is a lot of money, which is enough for their families to live well for a while, and after a few years, they can buy a few acres of land and become farmers again.
But you can't watch them jump into the fire pit, after all, they are all Chinese!
The ** cloud, who had no master of the six gods, had no choice but to look at Gao Hongsheng with pleading eyes, hoping that Gao Hongsheng could come up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds.
