Finally, on the twenty-seventh day of entering the sea, the luxury ship carrying Li Hao and his wife, who had earned nearly 20,000 taels of silver, as well as a guard, a leather maker, and a steward they brought from the other side of the mainland, slowly sailed into the Dongling Wharf of the Dongling Port of the Qiansong Dynasty on the Dongyan Continent, and were about to return to their long-lost hometown.
The nostalgia was even more timid, and Li Hao and the others became very excited, which was not the same thing as the excitement of the businessmen.
Although it is not yet back to their real hometown, the two are also very close.
Looking from afar, dozens of huge ships gathered on the Dongling Wharf, some of the sails were hung up and set sail for a long journey, and some of the sails were anchored, waiting for a rest.
Nearby, there are many large and small fishing boats operating back and forth, and the whole wharf is a lively scene, far more lively than the cold Wangxue Wharf when you came.
Only then did Li Hao and the others realize that it was much warmer here than over there. It's already spring here, and maybe they don't need the leather they worked so hard to get from the snowy mountains.
This time, is it miscalculated?
Li Hao shook his head and sighed secretly: "How can this be? I knew it would have been over there, or that it would have been all done on the ship. ”
The fat man Jack suddenly stood beside him, and said with a smile: "Is Li Hao worried about his leather goods?" In this way, I will buy the rest of your leather goods for 10,000 taels, how about it? ”
……
Li Hao was speechless for a long time, still shaking his head and sighing, Jack's eyes changed from sluggish, and he turned flexibly: "Li Hao, don't worry, you don't need to transport this batch of leather goods back to Wangxue Wharf to trade, just after your Qiansong Dynasty can handle it, you just have to transport it to your capital." ”
Li Hao's expression immediately became excited, and he asked, "Is the temperature still very low over there?" ”
Jack smiled silently and asked rhetorically: "Li Hao, I'm very strange, why don't you even know the capital of your own dynasty, but you went to the outer continent to buy mountain goods?" Wouldn't it be a temporary idea for you to buy mountain goods this time? But I'm curious, if you don't know anything about it, how can you find such an experienced leather technician? ”
……
Li Hao and the two looked at each other, this was indeed extremely abnormal, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.
Boss Jack smiled and continued to speculate to himself: "Could it be that the father of the two bosses is a big boss who lived in that continent and escaped from his home to play?" ”
Li Hao touched his thin chin and said with a wry smile: "We know that we can't hide the resourceful and cunning Jack boss!" ”
Jack laughed proudly, and said, "Two bosses, if your batch of goods is unloaded from here and landed, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it is very not cost-effective. In this case, you can transfer here to Changyuan Wharf, and from there unload your cargo and land, which is much closer to your capital. When you go to the capital, go find a jewelry store in the Treasure Pavilion, the owner of which is also a regular customer of mine, and if you mention my name, he will take special care of you. ”
……
When the ship arrived at Dongling Harbor, Jack's boss said goodbye to Li Hao and went ashore to deliver the goods. Before leaving, he left two master guards to follow Li Hao and them to pick up the goods.
The passengers of the entire luxury ship basically all got off the ship, and they easily carried their bags to the boat, and most of them were big bosses who delivered goods like Jack.
Li Hao: They don't have many goods now, and there are many boats here, so you can take a big boat or a small boat.
Soon Li Hao chartered a small boat, commanded the hand to unload and transfer the ship, and Esacher also wanted to move, but was stopped by Li Hao with a smile, and let him feel at ease as his big housekeeper, and they themselves enjoyed the feeling of being a big boss with their hearts.
However, there was one thing that made Li Hao and Esacher feel a big headache, that is, they brought from the Aier Snow Field, the four tall and strong snow dogs became unsuitable, lying on their stomachs sickly, unable to eat meat, and their white hair was soaked with sweat, as if they had been fished out of the water.
One of them was the best dog brought by Esachell's own family, and his feelings were so deep that he couldn't stop crying.
They live in the icy snow-capped mountains of the plateau all year round, where the snow does not melt in all seasons, and suddenly when they come to the plain continent, the temperature rises sharply by dozens of degrees, and they immediately become unadaptable.
However, Jack's boss smiled and said that it didn't matter, and when they arrived at Changyuan Wharf, the situation would be better, but it really didn't work, so they took a boat back to Wangxue Wharf from there and let the dog Xuefeng go. With his words, Li Hao and they are a lot more relieved, he is a businessman who has been traveling to various continents for many years, and this situation should have been encountered.
Parting ways, sailing out to sea again. This time Li Hao and they were not as good as the last time on this small boat, not only the boat shook more violently, but the facilities in the boat were simple and the food was poor, which was completely inferior to the luxurious ocean-going ship, so that Li Hao, who had enjoyed the luxurious life in recent months, was also a little uncomfortable for a while.
Sure enough, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and if you want to change it back, it will be much more uncomfortable.
However, Li Hao and the others asked if they could arrive in Hong Kong in just two days, and their mood was much more comfortable.
Sure enough, from the coast to the north, the fur coat didn't feel hot when it was put back on his body, but the situation of the four snow dogs still did not improve, which made Li Hao and them at a loss.
Li Hao sighed, shook his head, and said, "Aisa, when you arrive at Changyuan Port, you might as well take them back to your hometown by boat." ”
"Even if I ask someone else to send them back, I won't leave you to go back now!" ”
Li Hao only mentioned it once, and did not persuade again. There are not many stubborn people in this era, but he has encountered a lot, and this is one of them.
"Li Hao, come and see, Huyi and they have eaten!"
Li Hao and the two were sleeping soundly, and there was an excited roar of Esacher outside.
Li Hao got up quickly, and sure enough, he saw that the tall snow dogs were slowly swallowing small pieces of meat, which were cut by Isacher.
Seeing Li Hao and them coming in, they whined a few times, struggled to get up, and were pressed down by Li Hao, gently stroking their soft hair.
With tears in his eyes, Esacher hugged the big head of a snow dog and whimpered: "Huyi, you are finally willing to eat, I know that you are the best, and you will not leave me easily!" ”
Late at night on the second day, in fact, it was already the early morning of the third day after leaving Dongling Wharf, and the boat quietly arrived at Changyuan Wharf, waiting to unload.
Although the wharf is silent, it is brightly lit, and there are still many strong men who brave the cold overnight to load and unload goods at the wharf.
The place is unfamiliar with the place, and the future situation is unknown, although Li Hao and the others have three first-class master guards, they do not dare to rush late at night at will, so they naturally stay on the ship to sleep and rest, waiting for the dawn.
The oriental fish are white, the cold fog is full, and the dock becomes lively and noisy, and the hands that come and go are busy panting and hot, and sometimes shouting excitedly to help.
Li Hao and the others were woken up, immediately got up to wash, and got off the boat to find a hand to unload the cargo. This could have been done by Isacelle, but his beginner language was jerky and could not cope with it.
"Is the big boss going to hire someone to unload the goods?"
Li Hao, who was gorgeously dressed and followed by bodyguards, stepped off the boat in style, and immediately a tall and majestic man greeted him with a smile.
Li Hao nodded coldly, did not reply, but continued to walk forward. It's not enough for someone to unload the goods, but you have to hire a cart and a horse to get there.
After all, this man had been mixing at the dock for many years, and immediately asked, "Does the big boss still want to hire a carriage?" How many goods there are and where to go, I can introduce them to the big boss. ”
Li Hao suddenly stopped, stared at him and asked coldly about the specific distance, and the cost of the carriage and horses. When this seemingly honest man's eyes flickered a few times, Li Hao, who was wooden, didn't bother to take care of him anymore and walked towards the other coachmen.
Not far from the wharf, in the simple shed, many strong hands with their hands in their sleeves, huddled together and waiting for work.
On the other side, there were wagons with and without canopies.
Li Hao watched coldly, and greeted a group of shivering and ragged men inside: "Are you taking the job now?" ”
Hearing that there was work to do, the group of people immediately surrounded them excitedly and became vigorous.
"Of course, we can do the work at any time."
One of the big men in ragged clothes rubbed his eyes, trotted over, nodded and stood far away, and replied to Li Hao, there are not many inferior people like him who are gorgeously dressed and have guards and attendants.
"Boss, we're fast and very cheap."
He stood bent slightly in fear, lest he lose his job.
When he heard that Li Hao was just going to hire them to unload the light mountain goods of the four-horse cart, the disappointment in his eyes was undisguised, because taking this job might not be enough for a few of them to eat a few trowels for breakfast.
The look of disappointment was fleeting, and the man immediately smiled and said, "Boss, how about twenty copper coins?" ”
"Twenty Wen?" Li Hao's indifferent face couldn't help but be surprised, the man just now asked for one or two first, and then sharply reduced by twenty Wen!
The man said in a panic: "If the boss is not satisfied, you can have a few less!" ”
Li Hao shook his head with a smile and said with a smile: "I'll invite you, Thirty Wen!" Do you have a driver to introduce? To the capital, four wagons were hired, and three were hired to carry passengers. ”
The man said: "Yes, yes! I'll help the boss find someone, and the price is guaranteed to be fair. ”
This man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, this big business went out through his handbasin, and it was indispensable for the soliciting fee of 20 yuan that he asked for before, and the two sums of money were easily accumulated, which was enough for their food expenses for a day!
Li Hao nodded, too lazy to leave again, just waiting here for him to find someone to come over.
Seven cars, seven drivers and bosses, Li Hao smiled inadvertently, it is really a scattered grassroots bottom, not a big car shop specializing in transporting goods.
When I asked about the carriage fee, it was really low, not enough for him to have a pot of cauliflower on a luxury ship!
In fact, it is not far from the capital, and it only takes more than a day to travel overnight, and it only takes three days to transport goods normally. It's not far, the carriage is almost fine, and he's not in a hurry anyway.
All this happened, as Li Hao's temporary housekeeper Isaac Cher Laulau remembered in his heart. He followed Li Hao down the mountain, tasted many delicious dishes that he had never eaten before, so beautiful that he almost swallowed his tongue, and naturally made up his mind to follow this kind and generous boss, and work harder to learn what he should do.
After asking about the price, Li Hao got into the humble carriage that rushed over. The quilt in the car was shabby, Li Hao frowned slightly, and shouted: "Bring a bearskin mat." ”
One of the guards sent by Jack to follow Li Hao immediately rushed back to the boat, took the leather cushions they used to sleep, and stammered Li Hao hard.
Xue Yue'er said with some tears and laughter: "Brother Hao, you are overkill, ask the master guards to do the work of this person!" ”
Li Hao said with a smile: "I didn't ask him to get it, he was ordered by Jack's fat man to deliberately ask us to come." ”
Xue Yue'er shook her head and smiled: "Who called you a stingy boss, even a few house slaves are reluctant to invite, and only they can do things in our team." ”
Li Hao smiled: "Who is the big boss?" I'm the second boss! The big boss is reluctant to spend money, but blames me, the second boss who can only pass on words. ”
Xue Yue'er said: "You still pass the word, I haven't asked a word, it's all up to you, my big boss is just a decoration!" ”
Li Hao laughed and said, "Then ask the big boss to speak, and the second boss to sleep!" ”
……
opened the curtain and looked curiously at Xue Yue'er, who was carrying the goods, and suddenly pointed to a young thin young man between his hands and said, "Brother Hao, that young man is strange and pitiful, let's take him with us to do things!" ”
Li Hao closed his eyes and lay on the thick bearskin blanket that still had the remaining warmth: "Yo, the big boss thinks that only the housekeeper and the guards are not enjoyable, and this will start to recruit family members." You're the big boss, you can do it yourself! ”
Xue Yue'er blushed, shook Li Hao, and said angrily: "I'm not coming!" You are sending a word, the second boss doesn't speak, and the big boss has no bottom in his heart! ”
Li Hao looked up for a while, shook his head and said, "Carrying such light leather goods on his back, and walking unsteadily, please come to dinner?" No! ”
Xue Yue'er pouted: "He must be hungry, you big boss has no sympathy at all now!" ”
"Teasing you! Look, you can hang a can of oil in your mouth! Li Hao smiled, stroked her mouth with a few wipes of beard and said, "Don't forget, you are now the identity of the big boss!" ”
"Oh!" Xue Yue'er lowered her head and whispered excitedly: "Isn't this that I have returned to the Qiansong Dynasty, I will change it back, is it okay to be the boss lady?" ”
"Will this change back? How to do it! Li Hao shook his head and said: "There are guards watching next to him, they will show their feet, absolutely not!" Who told you to dress yourself up like this! ”
Xue Yue'er pouted again: "It's still convenient to receive the goods at Aiil Snow Peak!" Who knew that we were now getting rich in January and becoming noticeable. ”
Li Hao smiled happily: "That's not that much, at least before you send a few or two guards back, you have to endure it like this!" ”
The mountain goods were few and light, and a few strong men quickly loaded them into the carriage, tied them, and excitedly divided the money and went back to rest.
Xue Yue'er sat at the window of the car and pointed at the thin boy and said, "That young man, come here!" ”
The thin boy pointed at himself in astonishment, confirming that Xue Yue'er was looking for him, and walked over in a panic. Next to him, the tall man who took the job, was a little uneasy, afraid that he would offend the big boss by talking nonsense.
Xue Yue'er smiled and explained her intentions, and the kid asked in disbelief, "The big boss wants me to be a housekeeper?" ”
Xue Yue'er smiled and nodded, and the kid immediately trembled with excitement, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The tall man in the lead immediately smiled and said: "You just follow the two big bosses first, I will help you spread the word at your house, work hard, and serve the big boss with your heart!" ”
The kid wiped his tears excitedly, took out the copper coin he had just shared and handed it to the man, asking him to send it home first.
With this kind boss, this kid thanked him excitedly, and without even signing the minimum deed of sale, he jumped into the carriage behind him and sat with the coachman who was driving the car.
Xue Yue'er took out a silver tael of five taels and asked Li Hao with her eyes, Li Hao shook his head with a wry smile and raised a finger.
