"It's really good, but this tea probably needs to be stored in the warehouse." Xu Jiaheng smelled it and nodded.
The tea has a wonderful aroma. It's perfect to store it in the warehouse to preserve its peak flavor so it'll be ready to drink later.
Fang Yuan nodded, then turned to pick up the long strip wrapped in waterproof cloth. The feel of it:
"It should be brocade. The things this caravan is trading are really all high-quality."
The island had cloth and silk before, but their quality was certainly not as good as that of this fleet.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaheng stepped forward, opened a small door, fumbled around for a moment, and nodded.
"They're really nice. Let's take out a few bolts and have the embroiderers make you some new clothes!"
He knew the silks from this fleet were of good quality; after all, he had bought several bolts of them before.
But to my surprise, these people left the better ones unsold.
“Okay, let’s both make them, several sets each, some thick and some thin.” Fang Yuan touched the silk and didn’t object.
"I have some other fabric in my warehouse, let's make a couple more for the others, we'll be on the ship until winter!"
"I'll do whatever you say!"
Hearing that Fang Yuan was going to make him clothes, Xu Jiaheng secretly curled up the corners of his mouth.
As for the part about doing it for someone else, he simply ignored it.
They then continued to investigate other things as if nothing had happened.
"That should be all the rest. There's quite a lot of stuff; we'll figure out what to do later!"
Fang Yuan looked at the several huge warehouses and moved everything from the ship to the square.
Looking at the empty broken ship, she thought for a moment and asked the system to dismantle the ship into pieces of planks and pile them aside.
"This piece of wood can be used as firewood after it is dried, and it burns longer than ordinary wood."
Seeing Xu Jiaheng's surprise, Fang Yuan still offered an explanation.
She has everything she needs in her space, but her only real concern is running out of firewood. The boat timber is dense and sturdy, burning more slowly than ordinary wood, making it perfect for fuel.
"You're right!" Xu Jiaheng nodded with a smile upon hearing this.
This patriarch of the family can be very generous at times, but at other times he can be so stingy that it's both funny and exasperating.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, the two put their belongings back in their places.
She moved the remaining wooden planks to the farthest corner before they left the space again.
The sea outside had returned to its usual appearance, and it was gradually getting dark.
You Chuan ate a sumptuous dinner on Fang Yuan's boat. Holding the fruit after the meal, he remained silent.
Not long after, one of the ships in the fleet slowly approached.
Not long after, Xu Liu knocked on Fang Yuan's door:
"Master, a ship from the You family has come to pick up their captain."
"I'm coming right now."
Upon hearing that You Chuan was leaving, Fang Yuan decided to see him off.
Surprisingly, this guy actually wanted to stay.
"Boat owner, why are you doing this?"
Why did this person suddenly want to stay?
"To be honest, Mr. Fang, my other ships are all cargo ships, loaded with a lot of goods. We really don't have any extra rooms, so..."
You Chuan pretended to be embarrassed and said.
Fang Yuan was unaware that the main problem lay in the meal she had hosted for him.
The voyage has lasted for over a month. Not only are there all kinds of seafood dishes on board, but the key is that there are also fresh vegetables and fresh fruits.
He didn't have any of these things on his own boat, except for a few lemons to keep him from getting constipated.
As someone who is used to enjoying life, he has now discovered that there are people who enjoy life even more than him.
He'd be a fool to want to leave and go back to suffer.
"But as the ship owner, don't you need to arrange things for those ships?" Fang Yuan asked, still unwilling to give up.
She only has this one boat, but these people often come to ask her about it!
"My ship isn't the lead ship; we just need to follow the convoy. It'll only be about half a month before we return at the next supply point. I would appreciate it if Captain Fang could do me a favor..."
At the end, You Chuan handed over a box of gold bars.
The ship that was lost was his main ship. Besides the valuable items that made up 30% of its contents, his frequently used items were also completely destroyed.
He's already suffered enough losses, can't we just let him live a more comfortable life?
There's nothing for him to explain during the voyage, so he might as well just stay here!
······
"Alright then!"
Looking at the gold bars in front of him, and thinking about all the things he had collected in his spatial storage, Fang Yuan agreed.
For the next two weeks, You Chuan enjoyed god-like treatment on Fang Yuan's ship.
He ate whatever Fang Yuan ate, and he never asked where the food came from. He just ate and drank as he pleased.
He could play mahjong with Fang Yuan when he had nothing to do, even though he lost nine out of ten times.
But for the first time, he didn't find sailing to be a boring thing.
Only Xu Jiaheng harbored deep hostility towards him after learning that this guy was in his thirties and still unmarried.
Guarding against him is like guarding against a wolf.
They only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the island that had appeared half a month later.
This was also the first time Fang Yuan had seen an island other than their own.
"This island looks quite large," Fang Yuan remarked, looking at the island's size.
The island's area is at least equal to the combined area of all their archipelagos.
“That’s right, this island is one of the larger ones on our route. It has a fairly complete range of products, the most famous being bird’s nest, which is perfect for your daughter.”
You Chuan explained to Fang Yuan.
He really didn't want to get here so soon, since he would have to go back to his own ship after that.
"Bird's nest? I'll definitely get some."
Although bird's nest is made from swallows' saliva, it does have medicinal properties.
Even if she doesn't eat it, she can still sell it elsewhere, right?
"By the way, Brother You, how long do we usually rest here?"
"About half a month. I'll leave after I've purchased enough supplies. My family still needs to buy another boat here," You Chuan replied.
That's how their fleet works; they also have custom-built ships here.
His family lost a boat this time, so they will replace it with a boat here.
If there are no losses, the ships will be allocated in order.
"I see!" Fang Yuan nodded.
No wonder there are so many ships in this fleet; they've been replenishing their supplies along the way.
Instead, they sailed their own large ships and followed the fleet.
She was right; the fleet came from another continent.
That continent is the only large landmass in this area.
People from the mainland would send fleets out to sea to collect goods every now and then.
