Chapter 214 Long-lost taste

In the end, an agreement was reached, and Huo Xi took [-]%.

All the spices of Nok are rounded, including pepper, cloves, and Piper splendens, as well as ambergris, benzoin, and agarwood.

In the end, the carts hired by Huo Erhuai and Yang's couldn't fit, so they rushed to hire several more.

"You said, the little liar smiled just now, did he squeeze it out?" Mu Yan put her hands behind her back, watching Huo Xi and others push the cart away.

"Master, are you being too cruel? If we don't do anything, it will cost [-]%? We are not short of money now." Kan Er couldn't bear to see Huo Xi faltering while pushing the cart.

"You think it's too much money? Don't claim that monthly money."

"Don't, master!" Kan Er was terrified, and hurried to pull Mu Yan's sleeve, but Mu Yan brushed it away in disgust.

"Master, my good master!"

Kan Er surrounded him with an apologetic smile: "What I mean is, we swallowed up a lot of the Jun family's property in the southwest, and now we are not as short of money as before. It's not easy to be a lady Huo, and I don't have all the wealth you have today." Bring a lot of banknotes."

"There are so many people in the Southwest, and they all reach out to me for money. I support so many people, how easy is it for me?" Mu Yan glared at him.

Kan Er was poor at words, so he couldn't help but look at Li Yi.

Li Yi ignored him and turned his eyes away.

"Young master, please be reasonable. Mrs. Huo has a lot of people to support, and there is also Shangyong. Not long ago, she sent 1000 taels of silver to her. She was afraid that people would find out and secretly say what kind of aunt it is. , you get [-]%..."

Seeing the young master staring at him, he quickly swallowed his words and rubbed his nose embarrassingly.

"In the future, if there is any news, let her know. Now the government is lifting the sea ban, wanting to develop sea trade, and talking about building the city of Beiping. There is endless debate. When the news is confirmed in a few days, tell her something." Mu Yan said something lightly.

"Okay. Mrs. Huo is always one step ahead of the business opportunities that others can't see." Kan Er was very happy, so he said that the young master is soft-hearted.

"Young Master, why did His Majesty build Beiping City? Could it be that everyone's speculation is true, that His Majesty really wants to move the capital?" Li Yi frowned.

"Moving is so easy? How many connections are involved in this?" Mu Yan's eyes were cold.

"The generals objected one wave after another. If the capital is set in the north, there will be a flat plain. Tatar, Wala, and Wulianghana are all ethnic groups on horseback. The Wu Dynasty ruled the Han people for a hundred years. Isn't it a lesson? As for the civil servants, The aristocratic family has a lot of entanglements. I am used to living in the south, but can I get used to going to the north? And there are disputes."

On Huo Xi's side, Huo Erhuai, Yang and others pushed a dozen or so carts back to the berth of their own ship, and loaded the goods onto the ship.

The guys from Guangfengshui who came with the boat all came up to carry the cargo.

Before they finished moving the things, Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai followed the staff to transport the rest of the goods with the car.

On her own boat, Mrs. Yang was also sorting out the things she bought.

It's a rare visit, and I bought a lot of things for my family, except for the dozens of coconuts, boxes of decorations, food, and fabrics.

Mrs. Yang liked those mirrors very much, and bought several, saying that she would use them for herself and keep them as gifts.

Those mirrors are glass mirrors of lower quality. Although they are not as good as the ones Huo Xi has seen, they are much better than the bronze mirrors and glazed mirrors of this dynasty.

Huo Xi also bought some, and planned to sell them at the shop in Sanyuan Alley.

Mrs. Yang was yarding things, Huo Nian stepped forward and back to help, and watched the strange things by the way, while Huo Xi set up the ledger to keep accounts.

I bought a lot of things, I saved boxes of decorations, hand towels and sent them to Sanyuan Lane to sell as high-quality goods.Rattan and palm bamboo are sent to the shipyard.

The silk in the cloth is sent to Sanyuan Lane, green cloth, floral cloth, Zhubu, burlap, fur, etc., a small half of which are sent to shops in the outer city, and the rest are sent to shops in the north, or sent to Tianjin Port and Hebei Province along with spices. Peking City.

Kingfisher feathers are sent to Qionghua Lane in Sahala, where the female workers process them before selling them.

There are also a few barrels of Suhe sesame oil from Dashi Kingdom. At that time, I will find exquisite porcelain bottles, disassemble them and sell them in twos and twos.

With Mr. Mu's 10,000 taels of silver, I bought a bit more spices, so I didn't put them in the capital to compete with big merchants, and shipped them all to the north.

Huo Xi was thinking about it while remembering it.

"Sister, sister..."

Pi Xiaozi came to shake her: "Sister, what are those strange things? You told the brothers of the Mu family that they were the fruits of the Fan people, but Nian'er saw that they were all thick-skinned."

Huo Xi poked him with a smile, Pi Xiaozi, just now, he can't hold back anymore.

"Go to the bow and get the woodcutter, and a big bowl of water."

"Okay!" Dendenden ran away.

After a while, he ran back again: "Sister, here it is."

Huo Xi took the knife, brought a coconut, and sat on the deck, holding the coconut halfway in one hand, and holding a hatchet in the other, and chopped it on the coconut coat.

"Mother come mother come!"

Yang stepped out of the cabin with concern, snatched the knife from her hand: "This hatchet is sharp, tell mother what to do."

Huo Xi directed her to put the coconut on the deck, and asked her to half hold the coconut in one hand, and split the coconut with a knife in the other hand, and then inserted the knife into the gap, with the tip of the knife pointing outwards. With the other hand, I half-hold the coconut and turn it in...

The gray-brown coconut coat has been separated from the coconut shell.

The brown coconut velvet is still attached to the coconut shell and the coconut shell, and it comes off with a light hand. After the coconut velvet is cut off, only the round coconut shell is left.

From the three coconut eyes on the head, split a small piece of coconut shell with a knife, and you will see the coconut meat. Then open the small piece of coconut meat with the tip of the knife, and the coconut water will spray out.

"Nian'er bring the bowl."

When Nian'er heard it, he quickly stretched out the bowl, squatted down, and stared intently.

Seeing my sister pick up the coconut upside down, and the water flowed into the big bowl, she cried out, "Wow, there's water!" and licked her lips.

Huo Xi was afraid that the water would deteriorate if it was left for a long time, so he picked it up and took a sip.

sweet!Sweet in the throat!

Just like the taste in memory.Long ago almost forgotten.

"Sister, what does it smell like?" Pi Xiaozi licked his lips and approached.

Huo Xi smiled and fed it to him. Pi Xiaozi gulped down several mouthfuls and let out a contented ah.

"It's so sweet, it's delicious! Mother drink it!" She took it to feed Yang Shi, and Yang Shi took a few sips of it, and she was full of praise.

"It's no wonder that people have to take them all the way on the boat. If there is no water on the way, what kind of coconuts can be used as water. However, this is only used as water. Let's buy it and eat it as a surprise. You still need to spend money Buy that much."

Wrap Fanren's coconuts into rounds, dozens of them in size.

Huo Xi smiled: "Mother, there are many ways to eat this coconut."

"Sister, sister, I want to eat."

Huo Xi directed Yang to hold the emptied coconut in the palm of his hand, and tapped it lightly in the middle with the back of the knife. After counting, the coconut cracked from the middle. The upper and lower halves.

Exposing the thick milky white coconut meat inside.

Yang scratched a piece of coconut meat with the tip of the knife, and Piboy couldn't wait to pick it up, put it in his mouth and bit it, and looked at Huo Xi: "Sister, it's a bit hard."

"Chew slowly, eat it after chewing, isn't it sweet?"

Pi Xiaozi nodded, and gave his mother a mouthful, and his sister also gave him a mouthful.

Huo Xi smiled: "This meat is old, it's a bit hard to eat like this. Squeeze it into juice and grind it into juice, or grate it into shreds, and make it into shredded coconut. It can be used as stuffing for buns and dim sum. It's also delicious."

"Sister, Nian'er wants to eat!"

"Okay, then wait for my sister to go to the blacksmith's shop to get some grating tools, and then we can eat. I will buy a chicken tomorrow, and I will cook something delicious for you."

After hearing this, Pi Xiaozi looked at the dozens of coconuts with anticipation.
