Xu Qing taught the rules and winning methods. Fu Xitang lost miserably at the beginning, but after seven or eight games, he found the essence, and then he lost and won.
Duanmusheng looks careless, but he's not stupid. Three men fight on the mahjong table. If it wasn't for Li Changting, Xu Qing would have lost.
The experience of the game is too bad to play!
Xu Qing does not play, Fu Xitang's cousin Fu Wenhan top up, there are two on two meaning.
Xu Qing looked around with relish. Fu Xitang wanted to cover the card and said to Xu Qing, "can you stop standing behind me? I'm afraid you'll cheat."
Xu Qing rolled his eyes: "am I that kind of person?"
Fu Xitang didn't believe her: "you've lost like a bear. It's hard to guarantee that you won't retaliate."
Xu Qing You really know me!
"Forget it, I'm hungry. You fight. I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."
After watching Xu Qing go, Fu Xitang was relieved.
Xu Qingting was surprised by the fact that there was a kitchen on the ship. However, when he thought of so many crew members, he could not eat dry food. Therefore, for such a large merchant ship, every ship had a kitchen and at least two cooks.
Xu Qing goes to the kitchen and raises his sleeve to prepare lunch. Since Xu Qinglu's hand, Fu Xitang brings his younger brother to eat and drink every day. What's the use of the small stove in Xu Qing's room? After that, he just goes to the kitchen to cook.
The two cooks are now familiar with Xu Qing. They often exchange cooking skills with each other. They use brown rice and beans that the crew don't like to eat to make some durable and delicious snacks.
It's going to fall. It should have been cooler, but they are going south. When they get to the place where cocoa is traded, it will be hotter. It's as hot as summer all year round.
Ten days later, they came to a dock in the southernmost part of Lanzhou, where they replenished clean water and fresh food. When they left here, they completely walked out of DAHAO's territory.
Xu Qing, Li Changting and Duanmu Xiang also got off the boat for a stroll. They were on the boat for ten days. They wandered every day. After a long time, they longed for the feeling of being able to stand on the ground.
The three drank three coconuts at the roadside. These coconut vendors didn't even look at the stands. Six coconuts only cost a cent. Seeing that they were from other places, they asked them to take more coconuts when they liked them. Then they went to work on their own.
If the people on the other side of the capital saw it, their eyes would be shocked.
However, coconuts are really not worth money here. The coconut trees here are wild and long, and they can be picked everywhere from the beach. In addition, the population of Lanzhou is very small, so we can't eat them all.
Most of them could have been sold to other places, but the weight of a coconut here is not good luck on land, it can't pull a few at a time, it's expensive by water, and the fresh-keeping period of coconut is too short. If it's not too fast, it will be broken half way to the north.
Rich people specially use ice to keep coconuts fresh, but they can't transport them much at a time. As a result, there is a huge price difference between the north and the south.
Lanzhou people hear that a coconut is worth several Liang silver in the capital. They all wish they could fly there with wings and coconuts. They don't make so much money in a year.
But if you really like to eat coconuts, it's better to come to Lanzhou by yourself and pick them casually and eat as much as you like.
When Xu Qing came here, he got up with the idea of coconut powder. Last time Fu Xitang helped her to transport a boat of coconut powder to Hezhou City. It was more than 1000 Jin. However, seeing the potential of coconut in the capital, there was not much for the shops in the capital except for several other shops.
She thought that she would let the people here make coconut powder first, and then bring it back to Hezhou when she came back. For the sake of cooking for Fu Xitang for so many days, he would be embarrassed to ask her for shipping expenses.
Xu Qing doesn't need too much, but more than 1000 catties, enough to last until next summer's Coconut market.
Coconut powder as a finished product, the price certainly can not be the same as coconut, coconut peel is not an easy job, not to mention grinding, filtering, drying, do not dry powder, a few days will be bad.
Xu Qing asks Fu Xitang where he bought coconut powder for her before. Fu Xitang says that there is a boss who specializes in making coconut powder. He has been doing it for decades, but he has nothing to say.
Xu Qing and Li Changting went to see the boss.
1500 Jin is a big customer here, not to mention the introduction of Fu Xitang. The boss is very happy to receive the order.
Xu Qing took a look at the place where the boss made coconut powder. There was a sun farm, and he didn't even have a personal picture.
"I always make coconut powder with a list. If I don't have a list, I won't make it. Otherwise, it won't last long. It's too hot here." The boss explained, "if you place an order, I'll be able to get you all hands tomorrow."
Xu Qing asked: "how long can it be done?"
Boss: "if you're quick, I'll find more people, five or six days at most, but the price will be higher. If you hire more people, it will cost more. Coconut alone is not worth a few money at all. What I pay is labor cost."These coconut powder are pure coconut powder, which is different from those used by Xu Qing in his previous life with other accessories. They are more likely to break down, so we have to make good use of the time.
She thought about the time when she would come back, and said, "I have to go out to sea. It will take me more than a month to come back. Don't worry about it now. Otherwise, it will be broken before I come back. Let's make a time first."
The boss nodded: "of course, after a while, the coconuts are all ripe. At that time, the coconuts can be made into coconut powder for two or three months. I'll start to make it in more than 20 days. You're on a big merchant ship. It's fast. It won't take a few days to go to Qingzhou. It won't be bad."
Only the Fu family can afford this kind of big merchant ship. Most of their coconuts are sent to different places by the Fu family. Can they make a profit by selling them.
But the Fu family had too much business and didn't like to spend a lot of energy on coconuts. Their boats had more important business to do.
Xu Qing felt that there was no problem. He immediately signed the contract and paid the deposit. He also agreed that if she came back late and could not wait for the coconut powder to break, she would be responsible for seven boss three.
On the other hand, Fu Xitang also bought a lot of things. The crew went to the beach and picked hundreds of coconuts by themselves. Coconuts were eaten on the road. It's good to drink them as water. They didn't pick too much, just enough for a few days.
When Xu Qing saw what Fu Xitang had bought, he asked suspiciously, "why do you buy so many raisins?"
Fu Xitang: "wine making."
Xu Qing: "will you?"
Fu Xitang: "generally, but your husband said he would teach me."
