Chapter 201 A Bumpkin Who Doesn’t Know What’s Good

After all, these things can be processed into all kinds of beautiful jewelry.

After some bargaining between He Zhiran and Henry, the gems were sold for eight hundred taels of silver.

Henry never expected that He Zhiran would be so wealthy.

So he took the initiative to sell small mirrors and telescopes.

"He Zhiran, these are my most precious things, won't you consider it?"

He Zhiran refused without a second thought: "I'm not interested in these."

Seeing that the other party really refused, Henry simply stopped selling.

At the same time, he also regarded He Zhiran as a country bumpkin who didn't know what was going on.

He Zhiran didn't care what others thought. He directly handed several boxes containing gems to Mo Jiuye, and then asked Henry to inquire about the prices of glass and other items.

Finally, He Zhiran bought a small amount of glass, a small amount of plastic cloth, potatoes, sweet potatoes and some crop seeds from Henry, spending another 150 taels.

Although it is said to be a small amount, it looks like a large pile.

If transported by ox cart, at least five full carts would be required.

Henry asked with great concern: "He Zhiran, have you figured out how to transport these things?"

"I've thought about it. I plan to rent a warehouse near the dock. When your ship is repaired and docked, I'll transport these to the warehouse."

As soon as He Zhiran finished speaking, several people felt that the cargo ship seemed to move.

At the same time, Henry's companions also ran over excitedly: "Henry, that master is amazing. He repaired the boat so quickly."

"Great, notify everyone and have the cargo ship dock immediately." After Henry finished speaking, he called Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran to go on deck.

Hu Cong was already standing there, waiting for Henry to pay his wages.

Henry was very excited and wanted to give Hu Cong a warm hug when he saw him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close to Hu Cong and opened his arms, Hu Cong dodged.

"The boat has been repaired, and the wages are ten taels of silver." Hu Cong said with a stern face.

Henry turned to look at He Zhiran awkwardly and asked her to help translate what Hu Cong said.

He Zhiran told him that Hu Cong was asking him for ten taels of silver as wages.

Now Henry was even more embarrassed.

He had just arrived and had not sold any of the goods. He Zhiran had not yet paid for the goods, so he had no way of paying Hu Cong's wages.

He Zhiran also saw his embarrassment and said, "Come with me to get off the boat and get the silver first."

She explained it to Hu Cong again. At this time, the cargo ship had already docked steadily at the dock.

The few of them no longer needed to take the small boat and could go directly ashore.

He Zhiran jumped into the carriage and when he lifted the curtain again, one thousand taels of silver appeared in front of everyone.

She also kindly introduced to Henry that these silver ingots were ten taels each, and there were a total of one hundred in front of them.

Henry directly picked up two silver ingots and gave them to Hu Cong.

Hu Cong only answered one.

"I only take what I deserve." It can be seen that he is absolutely meticulous in his life.

This time, Henry understood what Hu Cong meant without He Zhiran's translation.

He simply put the other silver ingot back.

Hu Cong received his wages but did not leave in a hurry.

He finally met an acquaintance with whom he could chat for a few minutes. He had made some money today, so he wanted to treat him to a meal.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye didn't know what Hu Cong was thinking and thought he was planning to leave with them.

All the two have to do now is rent a warehouse at the dock.

Hu Cong is quite familiar with the dock.

With his help, they quickly rented a medium-sized warehouse at the price of one tael of silver for three days.

Immediately, Mo Jiuye hired a few workers at the dock to help transport the goods purchased by He Zhiran.

Hu Cong originally wanted to invite Mo Jiuye and his wife to dinner, but when he saw that they had purchased goods from foreigners and didn't know when they would move all the things, it was obvious that he couldn't do it today.

After watching the workers move goods to the warehouse several times, Hu Cong said goodbye.

"Ninth Young Master, since you still have things to do here, I won't bother you. We can meet up for a drink some other day when we have some free time."

Mo Jiuye clasped his fists and said, "I live in Xiling Village, the westernmost part of Yuncheng. If you have any questions, Brother Hu, you can come find me there."

After Hu Cong agreed, he said goodbye and left.

This happened to be the case. Hu Cong saw them buying these items from foreigners, and he didn't know the exact quantity.

A true witness...

He Zhiran can secretly add items to the warehouse without any pressure.

In order to save time, Mo Jiuye hired more than twenty workers.

In less than half an hour, all the goods they bought from Henry were moved into the warehouse.

Before locking the door, He Zhiran stored there a large amount of glass, tiles, plastic sheets that she had just purchased on Taobao, as well as various grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh corn and other items produced in her space.

The doll business made a small profit thanks to Tang Mingrui's joining. He Zhiran took this opportunity to buy a large amount of plush fabric again.

In addition, considering the season, He Zhiran was unable to show fresh fruits to others, so he processed them into various dried fruits and stored them here.

At the same time, she sent all the gems in Mo Jiuye's arms into the space.

After dealing with these and seeing that nothing was missed, Mo Jiuye locked the door of the warehouse.

Henry knew he was about to leave, so he tentatively said to He Zhiran, "Ms. He Zhiran, I'm going to get up early tomorrow to rush to the next city in Dashun. Can you continue to help me translate?"

He Zhiran shook his head: "I'm sorry Henry, I can't leave with you, I still have a lot of family here, they need me."

Although Henry already knew the answer, he still didn't give up.

"But, without you, I can't communicate with anyone here."

He Zhiran could understand Henry's helplessness.

She thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me."

After saying that, she entered the carriage.

He Zhiran bought some thick rice paper and brushes and ink on Taobao.

She cut the rice paper into 20-centimeter squares, thoughtfully wrote some daily English expressions, and then marked the Chinese characters.

Whenever Henry wants to say something, he can show these cards to others.

Henry was so excited that he almost cried when he got the translation cards made by He Zhiran himself.

"He Zhiran, thank you so much. With this translation card, I don't have to worry about communicating with the Dashun people anymore."

He Zhiran said modestly: "It's just a small favor."

Henry didn't know how to thank He Zhiran and originally wanted to give her some silver as a reward.

But he had already seen that the other party didn't lack these things at all.

Seeing that He Zhiran did not buy the beautiful fabrics he brought, he asked his companions to bring some to her.

He Zhiran didn't hesitate and put the cloth into the carriage.

"Henry, nice to meet you. We are going back now. My home is in Xiling Village. We will meet again if we are lucky."

"Okay, if I have the chance to come here again, I will definitely come to see you."

Henry habitually planned to step forward and give He Zhiran a hug, but was once again dissuaded by Mo Jiuye's unfriendly look.

This also made him realize one thing: Dashun people don't like hugs...
