Gu Zhang said proudly: "Master Yu told me that tea is usually filled with porcelain and then sealed and put into a wooden box. The wooden box is filled with soil or wet cotton, and beans are sprinkled in the soil. The sea is moist. It won't take long for the beans to sprout and fill the space. It's more secure than anything else."
"Put this wooden box 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 an eyebrow, which sounded very safe.
Gu Zhang added: "In short, there are many ways to go to sea. People on 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, Yu The master 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. It doesn't matter how good it is. It can be medium or low-grade. Those foreigners can't taste what it is. Good tea."
"As soon as the ship arrived at the port, there were many merchants waiting, and they were all sold out in a short time. There was no need to worry about selling,"
Gu Zhang said with a proud smile, "Xiao Fei, don't even think about going to sea. It's up to me to go. Master Yu said that women can't get on the boat. It's bad luck for a woman to get on the boat."
Gu Fei curled her lips, "Ignorance-"
Gu Zhang looked at her, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Fei haha. She said, "I said, you always eat quickly."
She quickly changed the subject, "Dad, you go out this time, collect more seeds. There is no seed in the Great Britain. We have so much land now, there must be something to grow. "
You can also buy some, gems, ivory, rhinoceros horns, spices, medicinal materials, dyes, etc. Try to stagger them with Mr. Zhu and his friends, so that they can be sold easily. By the way, if there is jade, buy some too, and it must be opened right away." The jade is useful to me."
Gu Zhang nodded, "Sure, you can write me a list later. I'm planning to learn from Mr. Zhou these days. I don't even know the quality of the other daily necessities that I buy out of the sea. , leave it to your eldest uncle and Jin Sheng."
He looked at Butler Qin, "Fortunately, Butler Qin still knows a lot."
Gu Fei nodded, needless to say, he must be the steward of the Yanyun Envoy's family. Lived many good things.
If 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 antiques, calligraphy and paintings in her room and said, "I plan to pawn these things."
Mr. Zhou looked at the pile of things, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Little Sister Fei, where did you go to rob or something? I'm afraid these things are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"
He looked at the antique calligraphy and paintings and shook his head, "You can't sell these things at a pawn shop, so let's do it. I'll ask the court officials from my shop to come over 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. I will explain it to my father and prevent him from cheating you."
Gu Fei smiled and said, "Well, thank you, Brother Zhou."
Mr. Zhou smiled shyly: "Thank you, whoever wants it . If I didn't follow you, I still wouldn't be able to do this business going to sea."
He whispered: "Master Zhu said that just by going to the Shipping Department to apply for a certificate, you can save 20,000 to 30,000 silver. Thank you, sister."
Gu Fei smiled and said, "Isn't it thanks to the prince?"
Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, thanks to the prince."
He said quietly, "But I still take you . "
