Chen Er was pacing back and forth on the dock. The sun was already high in the sky, so he should have returned by now. Why was he still nowhere to be seen at this hour
What's so good about the sun that you can see whenever it's a sunny day? Chen Er couldn't understand what the people from the capital were thinking, but the contract hadn't been signed yet, so he didn't dare to be careless at all. Even if they wanted to watch it for a whole day, he would have to wait here.
"Yes, yes, Manager Chen, look quickly."
Chen Er quickly looked towards the sea. Yes, it was their fishing boat. He quickly ordered the trackers to go forward and prepare to pick them up.
It didn't take long for the boat to dock. Hua Zhi was not surprised to see Chen Er. "But you must have kept Manager Chen waiting for a long time."
"No, no, please watch your step."
When Hua Zhi was not in trouble, she always wanted everyone to be well. After getting off the boat, she said, "Let's not go back to the inn. Let's go directly to the fishing shop."
"Yes, you go in." Chen Er led the group into the carriage with a smile on his face. Before coming, he asked his wife to tidy up the carriage and even put a new fragrant pillow in it.
Peony grabbed it, smelled it, and put it down. The things inside were good and refreshing.
No matter how good a carriage is, it will still be shaky. Fortunately, the roads in Shuiguang Village are well built because there are several fishing companies there, and the road is not too far, so it is bearable.
"Huahua, are you really going to take that brother and sister away? I don't like the sister, but the brother is a promising talent. Otherwise, give the brother to me. Master said I can accept him as a disciple."
Hua Zhi had already made up her mind, and when she heard her say that, she asked, "Does he have a talent for medicine?"
"He can't even get out of bed, how do I know if he has talent?" Shaoyao pouted, "Anyway, I'm miserable and he's miserable too, so it's good for us to keep each other company."
Then let you destroy the world? Hua Zhi felt uncomfortable and a little funny at the same time. Cao Cao was well educated by the princess at that time when she was young. Even if she lost her memory later, her foundation was still there. What's more, Yan Xi was watching over her. The child could say that if he really learned Cao Cao's skills, no one could guarantee that he would not grow up crooked.
It's hard to be a good person, but it's very easy to be a bad person.
Pushing her forehead, Hua Zhi did not agree.
Shaoyao rubbed it in a flattering way, "He has good tenacity. He will definitely work hard to learn things. As long as he puts his heart into it, he will be able to learn well."
"He can't do it. I'll keep it for you when I find the right one."
"Okay." Shaoyao did not insist. Anyway, if Huahua said to keep it for her, then she would definitely keep it for her. She did not have to have a disciple, but having one would be fine. She could let the apprentice do things she did not want to do. That was what the master did. She obviously did not like cutting herbs at all, and she had to cut those for her own use. But as long as the master came back, she would have to cut all his herbs!
When Shaoyao thought of this painful task, she became determined to accept an apprentice. After all, the disciple should do the hard work, as taught by the master.
The carriage stopped. When Hua Zhi came out, she saw Wu Zheng waiting beside the carriage. She smiled slightly and said as she walked down, "Boss Wu looks like he is in high spirits because of the good news."
"Thanks to the young lady, please come in." Wu Zheng smiled brightly, feeling very high-spirited.
Signaling others to stay outside the living room, Hua Zhi only brought Xiao Liu and Cao Cao into the house. After the host and guest sat down, Wu Zhengzheng wanted to express his gratitude, but Hua Zhi went straight to the point, "I think Mr. Wu has a plan in mind. I wonder what Mr. Wu thinks about the price?"
Wu Zheng was stunned, secretly thinking that this young lady was really straightforward, and he continued, "I accept that price."
Hua Zhi raised her eyebrows, "Boss Wu, please don't think that I am asking for repayment. If Cao Dahai doesn't come to provoke me, I won't do anything to him. We are doing business. If Boss Wu readily agrees today and then feels that he has been cheated by selling inferior goods when he delivers the goods, I will not let it go."
"I sincerely want to do this business with you, Miss. One reason is that it is profitable, and the other is that you really make me feel at ease." Wu Zheng's expression was particularly serious. "With your behavior, I don't have to worry about you doing anything bad to me in the future. With a customer like you, what's the harm if I make less money?"
After saying that, Wu Zheng laughed again, "Besides, the price is just right. It not only makes money for me but also is not unacceptable to me. The young lady is really capable."
Hua Zhi glanced at Xiao Liu. There was a smile in the Sixth Prince's eyes, but he looked a little embarrassed. It was great that he didn't let Sister Hua suffer any loss.
"In that case, I would like to make a small request. For each shipment, please prepare some seawater for replacement during the journey. I am not worried about the ones with shells, but the problem is the sea fish. I hope that most of these seafood will still be alive when they arrive in the capital."
Seeing Wu Zheng's hesitation, Hua Zhi knew what he was thinking, so she smiled and said, "Of course, we can't let Mr. Wu bear the loss. The goods are still settled by weight. Mr. Wu only needs to send some seawater when he delivers the goods to Donglai Shipping Company. I have already negotiated with the shipping company."
Wu Zheng's expression eased and he agreed immediately. This was not a big deal. However, "Let the young lady know that even if there are seawater fish, they may not survive until the capital. I'm afraid that the goods will not meet the young lady's requirements."
"I will be satisfied if half of them are alive. I will find another way to deal with the dead ones. I will send someone to Zhenyang at that time. After he inspects the goods and finds no problems, the consequences will not be counted on Wu Dongjia. I can promise you this."
"Hahaha, it's fun to do business with a big girl. Then let's sign the contract?"
"Who does Mr. Wu plan to invite?"
At this point, the matter was already 80% done. Wu Zheng was in a good mood and signaled Chen Er to invite someone. He explained to Hua Zhi, "The person we invited is Mr. Lin, who is very famous in our area. He is literate and has a say even in the Zhenyang County government. This deal will benefit many people, and he is very willing to be the middleman."
Probably one of the three elders in the area, so Hua Zhi decided not to ask any more questions as she thought about asking Xu Ying to find out.
Old Lin came quickly, supported by Chen Er. The thin and skinny old man had a sparse beard, was dressed very cleanly and decently, and had his back straight. He was the nicest person Hua Zhi had met since arriving in Zhenyang.
She stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your help, old man."
Elder Lin hurriedly made a false appeal, "I dare not accept the young lady's gift. It is our Shuiguang Village that has benefited from it."
Hua Zhi ignored the double meaning and clasped her hands, inviting everyone to sit down.
Chen Er brought out writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and diligently helped to grind the ink.
The old man's handwriting was extremely neat. Wu Zheng took a look at it and handed it to Hua Zhi.
After taking a quick look, Hua Zhi said, "Please add one more sentence at the end: if An Tai Fishing Company passes inferior goods off as good ones, Xian Xiang Zhai has the right to seize the goods and the boat."
Old Lin glanced at Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng knew that this was the only request of the young lady, so he nodded immediately.
After adding this sentence, they copied it in triplicate, and three people pressed their fingerprints to complete the contract.
