Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 94 The Dock
"Huo Xi, you can't do this. You've been on the water for half a year, right? Why aren't you used to it?" Qian Xiaoxia joked.

He was immediately gouged out by Yang Fu, "You can do it, didn't you just keep shaking?"

Apart from those boys who couldn't bear to go ashore to watch the excitement, there were also many adults like Mrs. Sun who followed.

When they saw it, they all smiled and said, "Let's not say that Huo Xi is a kid, we adults are not used to it either. I have been nested on the boat for three days, and I have never been off the ground."

Huo Xi came over slowly, smiled at everyone, and followed them towards the pier.

Looking at everyone, most of them are empty-handed.Only Yang Fu carried a backpack at her request.

Inside were cotton and silk swatches.And the fish balls made by Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai last night.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to put, so I have fried it.

Not expecting to pay back, it is just a medium, Huo Xi plans to inquire about some news while selling fish balls.

The more we walked towards the wharf archway, the louder the noise, and everyone was very excited.

Huo Xi walked and watched all the way, there were many vendors, selling food and various products, it was lively and lively, which attracted everyone in Taoyedu to look at it all the way, the slower and slower they walked, the team broke up.

When Huo Xi saw a stall selling tea, he bought two cups to quench his and Yang Fu's thirst.Seeing Zou Sheng and Qian Xiaoxia following him, he bought them a cup as well.

Qian Xiaoxia was looking for his mother to get a copper coin, so he got a cup of tea and was so happy that he decided not to be with his mother, but to follow the uncle and nephew.

As they walked, they looked at the stalls of various vendors, and pricked up their ears while walking.When you see something strange, you stop and look at it.

stop-and-go.

Later, when he saw various food stalls, Huo Xi felt hungry again, so he bought a lot of food along the way, and several of them shared the food.

At this time, apart from Qian Xiaoxia and Zou Sheng, there was also a man named Ma Xiang who followed his uncle and nephew.

Everyone has their own interests, and they all got separated during this walk.

Ma Xiang is older than them all, at eighteen.He and his brother Maggie were both of marriageable age, but neither married.

The family is poor, and there are only these two brothers left.

Before they set off, the two brothers were worried that they didn't have any silver to buy the goods and took them northward. They heard that the Huo family said that they could lend them money to buy the goods if they helped bring the goods, and they were not worried about not being able to sell them, so they could let the Huo family help them sell them.

The two brothers are grateful.When his younger brother Ma Xiang got ashore, he followed closely beside Huo Xi and Yang Fu.

He has grown up on his own, can act as an adult, walks with Huo Xi and Yang Fu, and can help protect them both.

Ma Xiang and Zou Sheng refused to eat Huo Xi's food, but they also shared the food.

"The pies in Huai'an are really big, with enough meat, they are delicious." Qian Xiaoxia opened and closed his mouth.

"Five cents a piece, is it delicious!" Yang Fu gave him a blank look.

"The capital still sells Liuwen, which is not as big as this."

"Sell Liuwen?"

"Yeah, it's near the fish market street. Have you ever eaten it? Don't you often go to town?"

"I'm not as hungry as you."

"There are a lot of rich people in the capital, and the cakes they make are small and exquisite. This is a wharf, and many people do hard work. How can they be full when they are so small?"

Huo Xi continued walking with them while talking.While gnawing on the pie in his hand, he observed the sellers and buyers around him.

"This is the rattan rope and hemp material brought by the capital. The quality is good."

"I have ginger and peppercorns brought by the capital..."

"I have lotus root noodles..."

Huo Xi was attracted.Did the capital bring it out?So he pulled Yang Fu and others to stand aside and stare.

"It turns out that they, like us, also came out of the transportation of grain this time."

Huo Xi nodded: "It should belong to Ship A and B." Ship C stopped behind them, and it should be behind them if they go ashore.

"They also sell goods." Yang Fu took Huo Xi's hand and whispered in her ear.

Huo Xi nodded, there is no shortage of smart people in this world.This time the fishermen were confiscated, but they didn't get a penny. Everyone tried to find a way to bring some goods and sell them. There is nothing wrong with earning a lot of money.

Huo Xi looked at it for a while, then walked forward, paying more attention to people talking in twos and threes.

These people are not just chatting, they are all selling their own goods, inquiring and negotiating prices.

Huo Xi and his group also encountered several waves of mysterious people, who approached them and asked if they wanted salted fish.

"We vomited from eating river seafood, and even asked the fishermen if they want salted fish." Qian Xiaoxia curled his lips, feeling that these sellers didn't win at all.

When I think of salted fish, dried fish, and Qian Xiaoxia that I can't eat all year round, I completely reject it.

Huo Xi smiled.No explanation either.

These people should not be selling salted fish, but selling private salt.

Huai'an is a big county for salt transportation, and salt smuggling is very profitable. Even if the salt smugglers were caught in this dynasty, they were first rode a hundred and then exiled for several years.But there are always people who stand up and take risks.

There is no food to eat, if you can make a fortune through smuggling salt, most people will follow suit.

Qian Xiaoxia and Yang Fu were still discussing who would buy salted fish, but Huo Xi didn't explain, just walked and watched.

A group of people walked to the busiest part of the pier.

The bustle of Huai'an Wharf is more than that of Guazhou Wharf, but nothing less.There were people coming and going on the pier, and the shops were constantly flowing, and Huo Xi was dazzled by the shop flags.

The archway with the words "Huai'an Wharf" is tall and beautiful, with three rooms and four columns.

"Wow, it looks so good."

When several people were staring at the archway, Huo Xi moved his eyes to the grain mountains on the pier.Looking at both sides of the wharf, all kinds of ships are parked, and some porters are constantly moving grain from the tank boats.

Huo Xi dragged Yang Fu, who was still unable to recover, to find a place with many vendors, put out a few packs of lotus leaves in the basket, and spread out one of them.

Following the example of others, he began to sell: "Sell fish balls, fresh and delicious fish balls, delicious and not expensive."

Huo Xi's childish crisp voice sounded.

Yang Fu was only taken aback for a while, and then followed suit.He has helped sell fish countless times, and under Huo Xi's training, he is very skilled in hawking and hawking to attract customers.

Qian Xiaoxia, Zou Sheng and Ma Xiang were all stunned.Aren't you looking at the archway? Why are you selling things here?He still looks familiar, as if he has been to Huai'an Wharf countless times.

Seeing that his uncle and nephew quickly surrounded a circle of people, they rushed to help.

"It's deep-fried, auntie, and it's not cheap."

"It's all made of fresh fish meat, without fish bones, and you can't get a few fish balls from a catty of fish. Ten cents and four are not expensive."

The fish balls looked big, smelled oily, and a basket of fish balls was sold out quickly.

Seeing Huo Xi carrying a purse full of copper coins, clanging, Qian Xiaoxia was envious and jealous.

He just asked his mother for money, but his mother only gave him two pennies and sent him away.Look at how much money Huo Xi can bring alone.

Angry.

Zou Sheng looked at Huo Xi, his eyes began to glow.Just now he wanted to help, but he opened his mouth, but he was too embarrassed to help, and only helped to see if anyone took advantage of the chaos.

Now he vaguely knew how he was different from Huo Xi and Yang Fu.

And Ma Xiang followed the children, and originally only wanted to be an adult and protect the children, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by the two children.

He is also thin-skinned, and he is too embarrassed to shout.

When several people wanted to ask Huo Xi to talk about their feelings just now, they saw Huo Xi running towards a middle-aged man.

　Good morning everyone
