Chapter 1358 Foreign businessman

Now that she believed it, she didn't feel sorry for her son who was too tired to lift his arms, and told her wholeheartedly: "I remember that your third uncle used to study and also remembered to exercise. You will also get up in the morning to practice swords, and go to the house after breakfast." School."

"Hiss... mother..." Chu Bo resisted the exercise very much. At this moment, his hand was shaking and he couldn't hold the vegetables stably.

But this time Mrs. Song was obviously persuaded by Chu Jin, and persuaded him instead: "Didn't you listen to your elder brother Ah Jin? You are too fat and easy to get sick. In the past, when I saw you breathing after a few steps, I thought it was a I usually do too little work, so I am too fat."

Chu and Liu also said: "It's good for boys to exercise some skills. Even if they don't pass the exam as a scholar, they can be a government servant if they learn martial arts."

Yamen servants also eat from the imperial court, which is equivalent to modern civil servants with fixed salaries.

"Yes, yes, yes." Song Shi nodded again and again.

Chu Bo was suppressed by the two mountains, and he didn't even have a chance to resist. From then on, the painful days of martial arts began.

anyway.

After breakfast, Chu Jin and Chu Lin set off to meet foreign businessmen in the county.

Chu Bo’s children continued to go to school.

Chu Liu and Chu Zhiwen followed the Chucaiwang couple to the county to see the shop and the output of the Zhuangzi.

Chu Jin sat at the front of the car, talking to Chu Lin.

"Uncle, what rare goods does that foreign businessman you know have?" Chu Jin asked curiously.

Chu Lin has dealt with many foreign businessmen, and this question is easy for him: "Generally there are shells, pearls, various glazed products, and seeds, gems, spices, ivory, medicinal materials, etc. that only come from abroad."

"It takes us ten days to take a horse-drawn carriage to Lihaikou. The waterway is closer, and it only takes five days. Therefore, we can meet foreign businessmen from time to time. However, they usually go to sea in September and October, and only in March and April. There's more merchandise coming back."

"Then where are we going today?" Chu Jin became interested.

Chu Lin smiled and said: "I plan to cooperate with them, and I plan to invest some money in it, and order some gems by the way."

The rouge shop has a good business. It is a woman's business, and gemstones are also a woman's business. Jewelry made of gemstones has always been popular, but there are not many gemstones in China, so they can only be shipped overseas. As long as there is no shipwreck in the middle, you can buy them back Everything is worth it.

Chu Jin nodded, "So that's the case. By the way, my mother likes those fresh seeds the most. I'll go and have a look later. If there are any seeds we don't know about, I'll buy them."

"This is indeed the case. In the past, I also helped the third sibling to pay attention, but it is rare to meet a foreign businessman once a year." Chu Lin felt a little regretful after finishing speaking.

While the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived in the county.

Chu Lin drove the carriage to an alley.

Asked the coachman to wait at the entrance of the alley with the carriage, he took Chu Jin to the door of a house, and knocked on the door.

In a short while, someone opened the door, and it was a boy who opened the door.

Seeing Chu Lin, he immediately recognized him: "So it's Master Chu, our master has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

"Thank you." Chu Lin arched his hands, and led Chu Jin in. He entered the main room and saw two people, a middle-aged businessman with a big belly, and a foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Master Chu, please hurry up." Zhou Hong cupped his hands towards Chu Lin, and hurriedly stood up to welcome him over.
