Chapter 1056 Doing Business Seriously ([-])

The pirate patrol boat followed all the way, but finally did not make a move. They watched from a distance that the big fat sheep of the ocean fleet sailed into the waters of the Hekou Bay in Liangshui Town, anchored outside the bay and waited, and put down the boat and sent people in to apply for berthing. .

Ma Zhiwen, a hundred households in Liangshui Town, thought that this year would be a good year with plenty of supplies. Early in the morning, he commanded his soldiers to clean up. The kitchen was busy preparing Chinese New Year dishes, but the soldiers on duty outside rushed in excitedly.

"Report!"

"What are you calling early in the morning? Have you eaten explosives? Say it!" Ma Zhiwen was taken aback and stared angrily.

"Ocean is here!"

"...What?!" Ma Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to realize, "The ocean ship?"

"Yes, the big fleet from last time, they are here! The big ship is at sea, and the small boat came in to apply for berthing."

"Quick, quick, go out and have a look!"

Ma Zhiwen ran out as soon as he moved, and for a moment, except for the busy guy in the kitchen at the back who didn't hear the movement in front, the others didn't know why their ears were so sharp, and they dropped the rag bucket in their hands in unison. The son ran wildly outside.

Cleaning is not as fun as watching the crowds, right?

Those who came by boat were still the same old faces, a first mate in charge of negotiations, and an interpreter with a strange tone.

The two sides shook hands and saluted in a friendly manner.

Ma Zhiwen enthusiastically invited guests from afar to talk in the barracks, and his soldiers hurriedly prepared boats to guide the fleet into the bay.

"What a coincidence that you are here, we will celebrate the [-]th year tomorrow!" Ma Zhiwen looked happy for the distinguished guests during the Chinese New Year, and asked his subordinates to go to the kitchen to tell them to cut a melon for the guests.

After listening to the interpreter's translation, the chief mate said happy holidays with surprise on his face.

People in the room were exchanging greetings, and more soldiers crowded on the pier to watch the fleet. Last time, there were only five large ships, Ocean One to Five. This time, there were not only five Ocean Ships, but five smaller ships followed Some ships, obviously this time sent more cargo, which made the soldiers very excited.

"I don't know what the five smaller ships behind are loaded with."

"Maybe it's cotton too."

"Ten shipments of cotton? That much?"

"Then what's the matter, we have as many military households as the Bai family army, and we can use another ten boats, and we can still sell them out."

"Yes. The more merchant ships come, the better."

The fleet of ten ships is moored in the waters where they stopped last time. The location where they stop is the location where the wharf will be built in the future. Not only is the water depth suitable, but also other supporting buildings can be spread out, and personnel and goods will have independent and reasonable turnover. route.

Because of the Chinese New Year, Ma Zhiwen sent out an invitation for the captain and others to have a New Year's banquet tomorrow.

The first mate accepted the invitation gladly, and said that he would definitely tell the captain, and when he learned that the fleet had entered the bay, he said goodbye and left.

Qi Ke, who was far away in the factory, learned from Zhaolin that the fleet had arrived safely, and finally set off with Zhaolin to return to the village with peace of mind.

The children playing on the pier were the first to notice that Qi Ke and Zhao Lin had returned, and they ran into their mouths while shouting. When Qi Ke and the two walked back to the village, they were greeted by the big guys.

Qi Ke greeted everyone with a smile and said happy new year, and walked slowly towards her own village. Along the way, villagers kept coming to see her, saying a few words before going home to work.

After going back to Zhuangzi to rest for a while, Qi Ke washed his face and changed his clothes, took two packs of New Year's gifts, went to the house of Lao Jiuye and Deputy Village Chief Lu, chatted about the news and daily life in the village in the past few months, and then went back.

The two village chiefs both wanted to invite her to celebrate the New Year with her, but Qi Ke declined. The reason was so straightforward that people have nothing to say. After a year of busy work, seeing too many people and things, and being exhausted physically and mentally, they wanted to take advantage of it. Close the door and take a good rest during the Chinese New Year.
