In the intoxicating blue sky, large white clouds of different shapes floated, moving rapidly towards the southeast under the blowing of the sea breeze; The old clouds were blown away, and the new ones were emerging from the western sky in an endless stream.

The wind is not too strong, and the waves are not very high. Next to Xiaozhu Island, a sizable fleet of boats is constantly undulating with the waves.

The largest of the fleet is the "Golden Phoenix", followed by the three No. 2 Fu ships; In addition to these four big guys, there are also two Haicang ships and a sand ship like the "Dawn" - these three ships are the old ships that Chu Fan acquired in Tianjin and Dengzhou during this time.

All the boats did not hang a single sail, and they dropped anchor next to Xiaozhu Island and waited quietly.

On the "Golden Phoenix", Yang Dijiao leisurely lit a cigarette and looked at the western sky through the curling green smoke.

He was waiting for Chu Fan.

The fleet had departed from Dengzhou the afternoon before yesterday, loaded with 1,263 people, as well as 100,000 fairy grass cigarettes and coal and raw and cooked iron that had been secretly collected during this time--coal, this iron was a forbidden thing, and it really took Chu Fan a lot of thought to smuggle it out to sea.

There are so many people and goods that the side of each ship is pressed low.

Departing from Dengzhou, we arrived at this small bamboo island that night - here we had to load Chen Erdan's T-shaped whistle on the boat.

When he arrived at Xiaozhu Island, Chu Fan got on the "Dawn" and headed northwest.

Although Yang Dijiao didn't know what he was going to do, judging from the fact that he took Jiang Xuanjing away, this trip should be related to the robbery of Mi Xing.

Looking up at the sun hidden behind the clouds, Yang Dijiao estimated that it was almost the hour, why couldn't he see the shadow of the "Dawn"? - When Chu Fan left, he said that he would come back this morning at the latest.

After taking another puff of cigarette, Yang Dijiao choked. The spicy sensation filled his lungs and made him cough violently.

After beating his chest and coughing for a long time, Yang Dijiao finally stopped, looking at the half-burned pale yellow cigarette in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

This smoke smells so good!

And I don't know how Chu Fan got it, the taste is much softer than smoking dry tobacco. It's not as domineering as the tobacco leaves in Quanzhou - no wonder it can be popular in the Japanese country in a short period of time, and there is really a way!

He didn't know that these cigarettes produced in Dengzhou had been re-roasted twice, and spices were added - in order to prepare spices, Chu Fan spent a lot of time and energy, and he also tried his best to find substitutes for many chemical products that were not available in this era.

Of course, the spice preparation is made by himself. When it was handed over to Lu Du, it was already all finished products - this was Chu Fan's last chance to control the Dengzhou Tobacco Factory, even if he knew the re-roasting process and process, if there was no spice formula, the quality of the cigarettes would be greatly reduced.

Of course, Yang Dijiao didn't know these details, he was only interested in the huge benefits that cigarettes could bring.

Although the price of these 100,000 immortal grass cigarettes is much cheaper than that of the Wa Kingdom, the profit is also very lucrative - according to the rules set by Chu Fan. The "wholesale price" of the Dengzhou Tobacco Factory for the six of them was 5 cents of silver per cigarette; Chu Fanding's "retail price" has more than doubled, with eight Jiajing Tongbao per pack of cigarettes. A cigarette is 80, which is more than 1 yuan of silver, and the profit in the middle is 5 or 6 cents of silver, and 100,000 cigarettes are 5 or 6 thousand taels!

Of course, Chu Fan said that this batch of cigarettes was used to pave the way. According to the thick "promotion plan" he wrote, most of the 100,000 cigarettes will be given away for trial.

However, Yang Dijiao can be sure that the uncles and brothers in the business of the Yang family in Fujian will never do it so honestly - not only will they not give it away for nothing, but they will also sell it at a higher price!

There is no other reason. The reputation of fairy grass cigarettes has long been famous in Fujian and Zhejiang, who doesn't know that now fairy grass cigarettes have been sold crazy in the country?

And the profit between the wholesale price and the retail price does not belong to the East India Company, but all of them belong to the six of them, so it is strange that those uncles and brothers will put the silver in vain and not make money!

Their Yang family is like this, and most of the others are the same.

Therefore, it is really difficult to estimate how much Yang Dijiao can earn in the end of these 100,000 cigarettes, anyway, it will never be only 5 or 6 thousand taels!

This is still the first batch, Chu Fan has already promised the six families, at least two batches of 300,000 cigarettes will be provided to them this year, and the number of cigarettes in the future will depend on the production of Dengzhou Tobacco Factory, but it will not be less than 2 million.

After putting the cigarette back in his mouth and taking another puff, Yang Dijiao followed Chu Fan's example, flicked his middle finger, and the cigarette butt drew a wonderful arc and fell into the sea - as soon as he thought of the big boxes of silver in the future, he was excited in his heart, Luo Yuan's Yang family will soon become the leading wealthy businessmen in Fujian and Zhejiang!

This Chu Fan Chu Gongzi is really a fairy who turns stones into gold!

It's just that why hasn't he come back yet? Yang Dijiao couldn't help but feel anxious - could it be that something had happened?

Heaven forbid! Mazu apparitions! Don't let Chu Gongzi have an accident! The future fortune plans of the Yang family and even the six families are all pointing to him!

On the "Golden Phoenix", there is not only one person who prays for Chu Fan, but Yang Dijiao.

In the large cabin where Yan Ruxue used to live, Zhang Zheng lit three incense sticks and reverently inserted them in the Xuande furnace that Chu Fan had glued with fish maw glue, and behind the Xuande furnace was a Guanyin priest carved from pure white Hetian jade.

"Save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva, the believer Zhang's incense and bath and ask for help...... My son Chufan, I don't know what happened the day before yesterday to go to the northwest, and ask the Bodhisattva to protect him all the way safely and return as soon as possible...... Don't let him fall into an accident and ...... any troubles" Zhang Shi was muttering a prayer with his eyes closed, but then he suddenly opened his eyes and aggravated his tone, "Not only can there be no rubbing, but even the oily skin can't be rubbed!" ”

Not only did she kneel and pray, but the idle tea behind her also knelt reverently, the difference was that the little girl was praying silently—her eyes were closed, and her long eyelashes were shaking; The red lips like pomegranates kept moving, and I didn't know what I was praying for.

Although this cabin is large, it looks quite cramped after being filled with furniture and utensils that have been moved out of the Chu family's new house - Chu Fan originally intended not to bring a single thing, and went to Niudao to buy a new one, but the Zhang family was reluctant to let her old things, Chu Fan couldn't resist her, so he had to let her stuff this good cabin like a utility room, and she couldn't even see the porthole.

"Bang!"

The two were praying when the door was violently slammed open, and Niu Niu rushed in like a wind.

Zhang was startled, turned his head and looked at Niuniu, who was rolling like a mud monkey, and he was angry - the "Golden Phoenix" was full of children about the same age as Niuniu, and now she could take advantage of it, and she played with her friends all day long, and her clothes could not be kept clean when she washed them ten times a day.

"You damn girl!" Zhang stood up, shouted angrily and dragged Niuniu over, and couldn't help but say that he gave her two blows on his buttocks, "Roll around all day!" Look how dirty you are! ”

"Mother! Don't fight, don't fight! Niuniu twisted her body to dodge, and shouted, "I'm here to tell you, brother is back!" ”

"Coming back? Where? Zhang immediately stopped his hand and looked out the door with joy.

Niuniu led her out of the hatch, and Xian Cha followed behind and came to the side of the boat to take a look.

Sure enough, a little sail shadow was visible in the western sky, and the "Dawn" was galloping towards the fleet like a water spirit with only wings. (To be continued.) )
