The Fengshen sailed forward for two days, and the shadow of a port city gradually appeared along the coastline. Looking at the astrolabe in his hand, Ling Qingyu signaled the ship to stop first. It has been built as a port. This time, Ling Qingyu still brought a few people ashore first, and this side is already close to the Indian influence area, and this era is a chaotic era, so it is better to find out the situation first.
The wharf was not well built, but it became more lively, and there were many small Arabian sailboats docked in the port.
Not far from the wharf, there is a big market with all kinds of goods piled up on it, and the crowded crowd communicates in various languages, the voices are loud and lively.
Seeing all kinds of people in the market wearing various shapes, black and white, even Yan San felt a little dazzled.
"People from Dazhou?" When Ling Qingyu and the others were strolling through a booth, a gorgeously dressed young man passed by, but suddenly turned around and asked in standard Chinese.
"Yes, you are?" Ling Qingyu replied with a smile seeing the young man in gorgeous clothes and handsome appearance.
"My father is also from Dazhou, and I am a merchant from Zhuluo. My name is Katak, and Dazhou's name is Xie Lian." Xie Lian saluted and said with a smile.
"My name is Ling Qingyu, and I'm from Dazhou." Ling Qingyu also bowed back, knowing that this was probably planted by Xie's family outside the episode.
"Miss Ling is here to travel?" Xie Lian accompanied Ling Qingyu to step aside and asked casually.
"No, I'm a businessman, and the ship just arrived in Galle." Ling Qingyu looked around and said, "I'm here to see the market situation."
"The boat from Da Zhou?" A person who was passing by heard this, braked suddenly, retreated, and asked, "Is there any goods for sale? I, Aixi, am willing to serve the beautiful girl." ~!"
The man had a pair of black and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin and red lips hidden in a short beard.
"Essie."
"Hey, isn't this Master Kathak? You've come to Galle too?" After greeting Xie Lian, Ai Xi immediately turned back to Ling Qingyu and said with a smile: "Beautiful girl, I Ai Xi is more reliable than this one." , It’s definitely right to sell things to me!”
"Miss Ling, my family is in Calicut. If the girl arrives in Calicut, please come to me. If you go to the pier and ask someone about Katak's house, someone will take you there." Xie Lian said to Ling Qingyu gently He gave a salute, and then walked away slowly.
"Pretentious bastard." Ai Xi scolded in Hindi, then turned around and said to Ling Qingyu with a smile: "Beautiful girl, let's see the goods?"
"Don't worry, I want to visit the market first." Ling Qingyu said with a smile, just kidding, can you buy and sell by force
"Aisie, I happen to be free, why don't I be the girl's guide?" Aisie stuck beside her, and introduced automatically: "Look, this is a special spice from Ceylon, but it's not as good as our Choro Well, if you want spices, it's cheaper to follow me to Cholo."
"You call this pepper, wow, the price here is so expensive, our Churo is much cheaper than this!"
"This vanilla is not dried, it's not good."
"This gem is so small, if you want a good gem, girl, I can take you to a family that is absolutely reliable!"
After walking all the way, this person croaked all the way, he despised almost everything, the only thing he praised was the beautiful woman he met.
"Kill him?" Yan San couldn't help but whisper in Ling Qingyu's ear.
"No need." Ling Qingyu shook his head. It's rare to meet someone with such good Chinese, and he always has to get something from him to be worthy of the ears along the way.
Behind the market is a main street. There are various shops on both sides of the clean and tidy street, and all kinds of people can be seen in the endless crowd.
Ling Qingyu looked in front of a very luxurious and imposing shop, and walked in.
"Girl, you really have a good eye. This is my friend's shop. This Ceylon has the best gems here." As she said loudly, she snatched her into the shop, and then yelled Said: "Adi Adi, come out quickly, there are guests here."
"Ai Xi! What the hell are you doing!" A man in his thirties walked out from the inner hall of the shop. After seeing Ling Qingyu and his party, he looked up and down and asked, "A businessman from Da Zhou?"
"Yes." Ling Qingyu saluted with a smile. The inside of this shop is large, clean and tidy. The counters on both sides are exquisitely made. It looks like a big business.
"Oh, Da Zhou's boat hasn't come for a long time, please come in." Adi led Ling Qingyu and the others into the back yard. The yard is rectangular, with stream-like flowing water on both sides, full of flowers, and a white flower in the middle. The pavilion was covered with carpets and cushions. Adi brought Ling Qingyu and the others to the pavilion, and then made a gesture of invitation.
Ling Qingyu returned the salute with a smile, then took off his shoes, went up to the pavilion, and sat on the guest seat on the lower left, while Yan San, Yang Zhao, Yan Qi and several other sailors stood around the pavilion.
Adi raised his eyelids slightly, this woman's subordinates are pretty good.
"I don't know what kind of goods the girl brought this time?" Adi sat down in the owner's seat, and Ai Xi had enthusiastically poured water for Ling Qingyu with a teapot, and then sat between the two of them.
"See what the shopkeeper wants?" Ling Qingyu smiled at Aixi, and then said to Adi with a smile.
"Silk silk and satin, as well as high-quality porcelain, if the girl has it, I am willing to pay a high price for it." Adi leaned on the cushion and said. There will be a grand ceremony in Kandy soon. There are 500 beauties in the king's harem. The consumption of these high-end silk fabrics is too high. Now not only Kandy City, but also the demand for silk fabrics in the royal palace has reached a point where it is hard to find. But Da Zhou's merchant ships hadn't come here for a year, not to mention Ceylon, even Chula Bagan was in short supply, and he was very anxious because of this.
"How much?" It seems that there is something wrong here in Ceylon. When will the wealth of this kind of national calamity not be distributed
"50,000 pieces of porcelain, 2,000 bolts of silk and silk each, and 1,000 bolts of satin." Adi rubbed his brows, thinking that this businessman, who had never seen him before, might not be able to bring in many goods, and said again: "It's impossible. , a thousand is fine."
"Luo is Huapingluo. There are not so many. I can sell you five hundred horses at most. I have everything else. How much do you pay?" Ling Qingyu sipped his water and said.
"Hua Pingluo?" Adi sat up straight immediately, and said, "Then Hua Pingluo in Dongyang, Wuzhou?"
"Yes." Ling Qingyu nodded with a smile.
Adi took a deep breath, then exhaled lightly, and said, "The girl bids."
"I'm new here, and I don't know the market very well. Why don't you give me a price from the shopkeeper, and I'll figure out if it's worth it." Ling Qingyu still had a smile on her face.
"Adi, she has been wandering around the market just now." Ai Xi said something in Hindi after she entered the pavilion and had been lazily leaning on the cushion without making a sound.
Adi clapped his hands, unaware that two people suddenly appeared from that corner, bowing and standing outside the pavilion.
"Go get the top box, and bring the bottom box here too." After Adi ordered in local dialect, the two left quietly again, and after a while, each of them held a beautiful box. The four of them carried a wooden box to the side of the pavilion and put the things on the low table in the middle of the pavilion.
When Adi opened the box, Ling Qingyu's eyes were almost blinded by the jewels.
Inside are dozens of gemstones the size of pigeon eggs, which are extremely finely polished, reflecting the sunlight with colorful precious light.
Ling Qingyu has seen many gemstones, but they are basically raw stones. These gemstones are processed gemstones, which are crystal clear and have a powerful aura. It's an internal injury.
Adi opened the wooden box again, well, it was full of gold. Ling Qingyu can now understand why it takes some effort for those four people to lift this, there is probably about a ton of gold in it.
"Here is 30,000 taels of gold and 50 first-class gemstones. Girl, do you think the price is right?" Adi stroked his beard. No matter how well she concealed it, the light in her eyes couldn't escape his eyes at that moment. The price he gave this time was twice as high as the previous price, but Adi did not regret it. If he could grab the only batch of goods and send them to Bagan before the celebration, the profit would definitely be more than this.
Thirty thousand taels of gold is 300,000 taels of silver, and the fifty gems can be sold for at least 5,000 taels, which is 250,000 taels of silver. The profit of more than 100 times, although not as much as the old man, is not bad.
Ling Qingyu was still thinking about it here, but in Adi's eyes, the old god was there and didn't answer. Thinking of the lion's house next to him asking for goods at high prices, his heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I still have 10,000 yuan in my warehouse. I'll give you a catty of pepper together."
10,000 catties of pepper can be sold for a tael of pepper and a tael of silver whether in Dazhou or Europe. Ling Qingyu smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is so polite, so I will be disrespectful. My ship out to sea so they can be notified to shore up for loading."
The Fengshen is too big to approach the inner port. Fortunately, there is an outer port in Galle that can barely dock. When the huge hull of the Fengshen docked at the outer port, the entire port was boiling again, and the crowd crowded to the pier to watch That huge house-like ship from Dazhou.
After seeing the sea boat, Adi gasped, grabbed Ling Qingyu's hand and said: "Master Ling! Please don't sell the goods to others, I, I, I will give you another 10,000 catties of spices! "
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep promises." Ling Qingyu smiled, and then left Yang Zhao, Dingdong, Su Hexiang and others to cooperate with Adi in loading and unloading, as well as supply water and food, and went back to the ship first.
After returning from Haizhou, the captain's cabin of the Fengshen and Ling Qingyu's bedroom were refurbished by Cai Jingfang, and Huangjing was reworked on Fengshen Island. Now the whole room is clean and comfortable. The bed was a big fixed bed, with thick cushions and soft cushions around it. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, no matter how strong the wind and waves were, no matter how Ling Qingyu rolled, all the bumps would be soft.
A window was opened next to the bed, and one could see the deck of the Fengshen and the seagulls flying in the distant port by climbing on it.
The gold box was fixed at the foot of the bed, and several fixed boxes were piled up there.
Ling Qingyu leaned lazily on the soft backrest, and poured the big gemstones he got these days on the white satin on the bed. The fifty exquisitely carved gemstones shone brightly, while the twenty or so semi-rough gemstones looked a little gray.
Yan San came in with a bowl of ginger syrup, saw that although she looked lazy, but her eyes were brightly playing with the gems, she couldn't help but smile, and said, "Drink it while it's hot, and enjoy it later."
"Ah, is there ginger here?" Ling Qingyu took the bowl, drank it in one gulp, and asked.
"Yeah, Yang Zhao saw it on the pier and bought a lot of it." Yan San handed her a quick handkerchief.
"Well, it's better to buy more of these." Ling Qingyu wiped his mouth, nodded, and then leaned back softly. Since the day before yesterday, my body has been a little tired and sore. Last night, when menstruation came, Ling Qingyu just thought that after he passed through, menstruation was normal at the beginning, but after arriving at the treasure island, it started to be abnormal. This time It took three months to come, and after coming, my stomach hurts and my body has no strength. However, Cai Jingfang and Zheng Xi were not around to negotiate business, so they had to go on their own. Luckily, there was Yang Zhao, who could arrange such things as counting the goods and transactions properly, so he didn't have to worry about it. It seems that the training of those teenagers has to be accelerated. The woman's body is not very good when she always travels overseas.
"What are you thinking?" Yan San sat on the edge of the bed, covering her abdomen with his palm.
A hot air rose from there and spread, Ling Qingyu snorted comfortably, and said, "I want to bring Huanglian and the others out quickly."
Yan San laughed softly, rubbed her abdomen with the palm of his hand, and at the same time slowly sent the internal force to her. Seeing that she closed her eyes and fell asleep comfortably, she laid her down on the bed, covered her with a thin quilt, and then Gather those gems and put them next to her pillow.
Brushing her fingers over her broken hair, and looking at the scar that exposed the sleeve, Yan San withdrew his hand again and pressed it on his arm. There was a fresh cut there, and his cabin was next to this cabin. Next door, his hearing is not so good, even if the two guys lower their voices, he can still clearly feel all the movements over there, and can only rely on the physical pain to suppress the desire of the body.
Yan San closed his eyes, looking at Ling Qingyu's peaceful and smiling face, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart. She herself still doesn't know what kind of physical condition she is. The power of the snake pill will gradually increase with time. The advantage is that her physical fitness will become better and better. If she is willing to practice martial arts, she will get twice the result with half the effort. The downside is that her desire will become stronger and stronger. It is usually fine, but on July 14th, she must absorb enough yang essence, and As time goes by, I'm afraid that this interval will become shorter and shorter. It was once a year at first, and it may be once every three months in the future.
The golden sunset shone on Yan San's eyes through the window, and Yan San suddenly came back to his senses. He turned his head and was already in the state of drawing his sword. With a flick of his body, he rushed towards the person at the door.
"It's me." Yan Qi took two steps back, the two of them had already done a few tricks before he finished speaking.
"What are you thinking? I've been standing here for a long time." Seeing Yan San put away his sword with a dark face, Yan Qi leaned against the door and said with a smile.
"It's okay." Yan San closed the hatch with his backhand, and sat on the chair in the captain's cabin.
It's okay, you're so distracted? Yan Qi was amused in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He sat on the chair next to him and said, "Aren't you going to buy some goods? Those boys all went down to buy gems, saying they would save them for their wives." Ling Qingyu sent Pocket money is given to everyone. Although it is not much, you can also buy some low-end gems here. For those sailors, it is already a lot of wealth. So, under Yang Zhao's arrangement, when it was their turn to be free, they all went ashore to search for goods. Yan Qi also went shopping by himself, and when he came back, he remembered that Yan San seemed to have never left Ling Qingyu, so naturally he didn't have time to go ashore. He originally wanted to replace him with good intentions, but he was shocked to see such a scene.
"I don't need it." Yan San said coldly.
"Do you not need gems, or do you not need a daughter-in-law?" Yan Qi approached him and asked, "Do you like being in charge?"
Seeing that Yan San gave him a cold look and didn't speak, Yan Qi sneered and said, "What's so embarrassing, that person on this boat doesn't like her."
"What about you?" Yan San crossed his arms, stared at him and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Me?" Yan Qi laughed at herself, "I'm not worthy."
The two were silent at the same time, and after a while, Yan Qi said shyly, "Yang Zhao is not bad."
"yes."
"You actually admit it?"
"You said he was good."
"you do not
