Chapter 2788 The graceful story (66)
When Yaoyao, Yun Zhen and others arrived at the dock, they happened to encounter a boat docking. Yaoyao was very excited and said, "Grandpa Jiang, please ask me what cargo is loaded on the ship? If there is any good one, let's buy some and bring it back to Beijing."
Jiang Fangfei looked carefully and said, "Miss, this is not a ship in a business, but a ship that helps others transport goods. The goods in this ship are all from the owner's house and will not be sold casually."
Just like several large commercial banks such as Oceanwide Trading Company have their own merchant ships, many vendors do not have the financial resources, so the goods are transported by rental ships, and this ship is specially used to deliver goods.
Brother Fu also said: "Even if you are willing to sell it to you, the price is not low, it is not cost-effective."
The price of selling in large quantities is much cheaper, and the price will be higher if you buy it alone. For example, the goods purchased by their foreign goods shops are the lowest prices.
Yun Zhen said: "Sister Yaoyao, that waiter said that the East City is not only complete and expensive, but we will go there later."
Dongshi is very close to the wharf and less than a quarter of an hour walk. Of course, Dongshi also emerged because of this big wharf. Part of the goods on the merchant ships were directly taken away by merchants who came to pick up the goods, and part of them flowed to Dongshi.
Yaoyao swept around. There were wealthy businessmen, as well as men wearing short clothes, porters and movers with arms and legs exposed. At this time, the porters and movers rushed towards the merchant ship, fearing that they would not be able to get business if they were too late.
Nie Yin said: "Yaoyao, there is nothing to see here, let's go directly to Dongshi!"
Yaoyao also felt that there was nothing to see in the pier, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to Dongshi, but if you don't take the carriage, let's go there!"
The roadside is so lively that you can walk while enjoying the scenery. Of course, the scenery here is mainly about people and servants of all kinds.
Halfway through the road, I ran into a stall where the stall owner was frying quails. She smelled the fragrance and couldn't walk anymore. She felt like she was hungry again.
Nie Yin:...
When I came just now, I said that I couldn't hold on anymore and I was hungry after only half an hour of coming. How could he believe this?
Brother Fu said it more directly, saying, "Sister, eating like this will not only make you lose your stomach, but may also gain weight. If you get fat, you will become a fat girl and become unfavorable."
Yaoyao said without thinking: "Where can you gain weight by eating two quails? Besides, if you gain weight, you will lose weight. What are you afraid of?"
Let’s eat first, and you are considering whether you are fat or not.
Yun Zhen felt that just a quail would be fatter after eating it. With his support, Yaoyao ate the quail smoothly. After eating it, she still wanted to eat it again, but unfortunately she was stopped by Nie Yin: "Just taste it, it will make you feel stomachache."
I left the stall with regret. Soon, I didn't have long left and met a candied haws. Yaoyao bought six strings in one go. Except for Yun Zhen who picked up one, the other two were unwilling to ask for it.
Brother Fu said, "It's too sweet, so greasy."
Nie Yin felt that candied haws were something that only children could eat: "If you can't eat so much, just put them on it, and you'll eat them later."
Yaoyao said deliberately: "It's such a hot day, we will soon walk on the street with the sugar wrapped in the face, and it will melt."
No matter what Yaoyao said, Nie Yin and Brother Fu'er didn't eat it. In the end, there was no way. Yaoyao ate another one by herself, and left one for her to take it back.
As soon as she entered Dongshi Yaoyao, she saw a large group of people surrounding her. She wanted to go to watch the fun. After running for a few steps, she didn't expect that A Qian would catch her collar.
Yaoyao smiled and said, "I don't run away, I just want to see what happened before."
A Qian looked at the crowded streets and took out a long blue silk from his sleeve, tied one to his wrist and wrapped it around his wrist.
Yaoyao said with a bitter face: "Aunt A Qian, what are you doing?"
"Prevent your mind from getting hot and running away alone."
Just now, I grabbed Yaoyao with quick eyes and hands, but I was not so lucky every time, so I still held it safe.
"Aunt A Qian, I'm not a dog."
Seeing that A Qianzhuang didn't hear her words, Yaoyao could only ask for help from Nie Yin and Fu Geer. Unfortunately, they turned their heads to avoid her gaze for help. Yun Zhen wanted to help her, but unfortunately A Qian didn't listen to her.
A Qian said with a smile: "If you are a dog, you will not use ribbons, but iron chains."
Brother Fu looked not far away and said to Yaoyao: "Let's go and see what's wrong there? If it's too late, it might be dispersed there."
Yaoyao stopped getting involved in the matter of her wrist being tied up in an instant, and she hurriedly said, "Then let's go and see what's going on over there?"
After walking over, the guards squeezed everyone away and let Yaoyao, Nie Yin and others see the situation inside clearly. Then they saw an old woman with wrinkles on the ground with two children, with the words "selling oneself" written on the wooden sign next to her.
After seeing it, Yaoyao couldn't help but ask the old woman: "Are you going to sell yourself with your two children?"
Both of these children were tied with little knots and saw that they were girls. The older one looked six or seven years old, and the younger one was probably four or five years old.
The old woman looked up at Yaoyao and said with a wry smile: "Who else wants me at such a big age? I just want the girl to be kind and buy them and give them a way out!"
Yaoyao frowned and said, "Where are the children's parents? Do you care?"
The old woman burst into tears and said, "Their father had an accident with the boat three years ago. Their mother ran away with the business pension, leaving me, the old woman and two children behind."
After saying that, he hugged a child with one hand, and cried and said, "I am old and I can't go out to work. Now my family has no stuttering. If this continues, our grandparents and grandchildren will starve to death, so I want to find a way out for these two children. The girl is beautiful and kind-hearted. If the two sisters can follow you, it is that they have accumulated blessings in their previous life."
However, the two children grabbed an old woman's arm and cried. The older one cried and shouted: "Grandma, don't want me and my sister. Grandma, please."
The young man also cried: "Grandma, I don't want to separate from you. Grandma, we don't want to separate from you."
Yaoyao looked at the three grandparents and grandsons who were pitiful and took a silver note from the purse on her waist. After thinking about it, she felt that one was not enough and took another one: "Little sister, I won't buy you. You can use this little money to buy food, and save a little bit enough for you to use it for a few years."
The old woman took two silver notes and kowtowed the two girls: "Thank you for your great kindness. Our grandparents and grandchildren will definitely be cows and horses for the girls in the next life."
Yaoyao said, "Grandma, it's so hot that it's easy to get heatstroke. You can take their sisters back!"
