Chapter 344 Ignorance

Gu Zhang said proudly: "Master Yu told me that tea leaves are generally placed in porcelain and then sealed and placed in a wooden box. The wooden box is filled with soil or wet cotton, and beans are sprinkled in the soil. If the sea is moist, the beans will not last long." It sprouted and filled the gaps, which was safer than anything else.”

“This wooden box is then placed inside a big wooden box. The big wooden box is nailed to the ship and will not move no matter how bumpy it is.”

Gu Fei raised his eyebrows, which sounded very safe.

Gu Zhang added: "In short, there are many ways to go to sea. People in a boat need to eat, drink, and buy a lot of things. They need to buy some live chickens and ducks, and they have to grow vegetables on the boat."

"However, Master Yu also said that although going overseas is risky and troublesome, you can still make a lot of money. Porcelain, tea, and silk are easy to sell, and it doesn't matter how good it is. It can be medium or low-grade. Those foreigners also eat There’s no telling what good tea is.”

"As soon as the ship arrived at the port, there were many merchants waiting for it. They robbed them all in a short time, so there was no need to worry about selling them."

Gu Zhang said with a proud smile, "Xiao Fei, don't even think about going to sea. I can only go. Master Yu said that women cannot get on the boat. It is unlucky for a woman to get on the boat."

Gu Fei curled his lips, "Ignorant—"

Gu Zhang looked at her, "What did you say?"

Gu Fei chuckled and said, "I said, you should always eat quickly."

She quickly changed the subject, "Dad, you go out this time and collect more seeds. There is no seed when you come back. Our family has so much land now, there must be something to plant."

"You can also buy some gems, ivory, rhinoceros horns, spices, medicinal materials, dyes, etc. Try to keep them away from Mr. Zhu and the others so that they can be sold easily. By the way, if there is jade, buy some too. It must be freshly opened. Jade, I can use it.”

Gu Zhang nodded, "Okay, write me a list later. I'm planning to learn from Mr. Zhou these days. I don't even know the quality of these things. I'll leave the rest of the food and daily necessities for the sea to your uncle. Go and do it with Jin Sheng.”

 He looked at Butler Qin, "Fortunately, Butler Qin still knows a lot."

Gu Fei nodded, the steward of the outer courtyard of the Salt Transport Envoy's family. Needless to say, he must have seen a lot of good things.

Once you see these things enough, you will naturally understand them.

Gu Fei waited until her father finished eating and left, then called Mr. Zhou over, pointed at a pile of antique calligraphy and paintings in her room and said, "I plan to **** all these things."

Mr. Zhou looked at the pile of things and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Sister Xiao Fei, where did you go to rob or something? These things are probably worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

He looked at the antique calligraphy and paintings and shook his head, "This thing can't be sold in a **** shop for a price. How about this? I'll ask the ministers from my shop to come over in a while, register them all for you, and take them to my father's antique shop."

“I think these are good things and should be sold at a good price.”

"Don't worry, I will give my father an explanation and won't let him cheat you."

Gu Fei smiled and said, "That's good, thank you very much, Brother Zhou."

Mr. Zhou smiled shyly: "Why are you thanking me? We are all following each other. If we hadn't followed you, we wouldn't have been able to go to sea."

He whispered: "Master Zhu said that just by going to the Shipping Department to apply for a voucher, you can save 20,000 to 30,000 silver. This is all thanks to my sister."

Gu Fei smiled and said, "Isn't it thanks to the prince?"

Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, thanks to the prince."

 He whispered again, "But I still accept your favor, sister."
