After all, these things could all be made into various pretty jewelry.
After haggling with Henry for a while, He Zhiran bought these gems for eight hundred taels of silver.
Henry never imagined that He Zhiran would be so wealthy and generous.
So he took the initiative to market the small mirrors and telescopes.
"He Zhiran, these are my most precious things, won't you consider them?"
He Zhiran didn't even think about it and refused directly: "I'm not interested in those."
Seeing that the other party really refused, Henry simply stopped marketing.
At the same time, he also identified He Zhiran as an uncultured country bumpkin.
He Zhiran didn't care what others thought at all. She directly handed over several boxes containing gems to Mo Jiuye, and then urged Henry to go inquire about the prices of glass and other items.
In the end, 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.
It was said to be a small amount, but it looked like quite a lot.
If transported by ox cart, at least five carts would be fully loaded.
Henry asked with great concern: "He Zhiran, have you figured out how to transport these things?"
"It's figured out. I plan to rent a warehouse near the dock and move them there when your ship is repaired and docked."
He Zhiran had just finished speaking when everyone felt like the cargo ship seemed to have moved.
At the same time, Henry's companion also excitedly ran over: "Henry, that master is very powerful and repaired the ship so quickly!"
"That's great, notify down that the cargo ship will dock immediately!" After Henry finished speaking, he urged Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran onto the deck.
Hu Cong had already stood there first, waiting for Henry to pay him.
Henry was very excited. Seeing Hu Cong, he wanted to enthusiastically give him a hug.
But as soon as he opened his arms after getting close to Hu Cong, Hu Cong dodged away.
"The ship is fixed, the fee is ten taels of silver," Hu Cong said with a straight face.
Henry awkwardly turned his head to look at He Zhiran and asked her to help translate what Hu Cong had said.
He Zhiran told him that Hu Cong was asking him for ten taels of silver for his labor.
Now Henry was even more embarrassed.
He had just arrived and hadn't sold any goods yet. He Zhiran hadn't paid for the goods either. He simply couldn't afford Hu Cong's fee.
He Zhiran also saw his predicament and said, "Go ashore with me first to get some silver."
She also explained it to Hu Cong for a while. At this time, the cargo ship had been steadily docked at the pier.
With the ship docked, they didn't need to take a small boat and went directly ashore.
He Zhiran immediately dove into the carriage. When she lifted the carriage curtain again, a thousand taels of shiny silver appeared before everyone.
She was also very thoughtful to introduce Henry that these silver ingots were ten taels each, with 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 took one.
"I only accept due compensation," it was evident that he was absolutely strict in his work.
This time, without He Zhiran's translation, Henry also understood Hu Cong's meaning.
He simply put the other ingot back.
After getting his payment, Hu Cong did not leave in a hurry.
Having met someone he could chat with for a few sentences, he had earned silver today and felt like treating them.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye did not know Hu Cong's thoughts, thinking that he was going to leave with them.
What the two of them had to do now was to rent a warehouse at the dock.
With Hu Cong's help, they soon rented a medium-sized warehouse for one tael of silver for three days.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Jiuye also hired several workers at the dock to help move the goods He Zhiran had purchased.
Hu Cong had originally wanted to treat the Mo couple to a meal, but seeing that they had purchased these items from the foreigners and still didn't know the exact quantity, with so many things still to be moved to who knows when, it was obvious that his treat was unlikely today.
After watching the workers move goods to and from the warehouse several times, Hu Cong bid farewell.
"Master Mo, since you still have things to do here, I won't disturb you. If we have time another day, we can make an appointment to go drink."
Mo Jiuye clasped his fist: "I live in Xiling Village on the westernmost side of Yuncheng. Brother Hu, if you have anything, you can come and find me there."
After Hu Cong agreed, he left.
This was just right. Hu Cong saw them buying these items from the foreigners but didn't know the exact quantity.
A solid witness...
He Zhiran could sneakily add items to the warehouse without any pressure.
In order to save time, Mo Jiuye had hired more than 20 workers.
In less than half an hour, the goods they had purchased from Henry were all moved into the warehouse.
Before locking the door, He Zhiran placed the large amount of glass, tiles, plastic cloth, and various grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fresh corn and other items she had purchased from Taobao and produced from her space inside.
With Tang Mingrui joining the doll business, it also made a small profit. He Zhiran took this opportunity to purchase large quantities of plush fabric again.
In addition, considering the seasonal issues, He Zhiran could not take out fresh fruits to show people, so she processed those fruits into various dried fruits and stored them here.
At the same time, she put all the gems in Mo Jiuye's arms into her space.
After taking care of these and seeing that nothing was missing, Mo Jiuye locked the warehouse door.
Henry knew he was about to leave this place. He tentatively said to He Zhiran, "Miss He Zhiran, I plan to set off early tomorrow to head to the next city of Dashun. Can you continue to help me translate?"
He Zhiran shook her head: "I'm sorry, Henry, I can't leave with you. I still have a lot of family members here who need me."
Although Henry already knew the answer, he was still reluctant.
"But without you, I simply can't communicate with the people of Dashun here."
He Zhiran could understand Henry's helpless feeling.
She pondered and said, "Wait for me for a moment."
After speaking, she went into the carriage.
He Zhiran purchased some thick xuan paper and writing brushes and ink on Taobao.
She cut the xuan paper into 20 cm square pieces, thought about it, and wrote down some common English phrases, labeling them with the corresponding Chinese characters.
When Henry wanted to say something, he could show these cards to the other person.
After receiving these handmade translation cards from He Zhiran, Henry was so moved he almost cried.
"He Zhiran, I'm so grateful to you. With these translation cards, I won't have to worry about communicating with the people of Dashun."
He Zhiran humbly said: "It was nothing."
Henry didn't know how to repay He Zhiran. He had originally wanted to give her some silver as payment.
But he had already seen that she clearly didn't lack these things.
Seeing that He Zhiran hadn't purchased those beautiful fabrics he brought, he ordered his companions to take some over to give her.
He Zhiran also did not stand on ceremony, and placed the fabrics in the carriage.
"Henry, I'm very happy to meet you. We have to go back now. My home is in Xiling Village. If we have another chance, let's meet again."
"Alright. If I have a chance to come back here, I will definitely come to see you."
Out of habit, Henry was about to step forward to give He Zhiran a hug, only to be deterred again by Mo Jiuye's unfriendly gaze.
This also made it clear to him that the people of Dashun did not like hugs...
