Joe's Farming

This time, Qiao Yu gave all the banknotes to Gu Feng for personal safekeeping.

He liked to exchange the silver notes for real gold and silver and hide them, so there were actually only a few thousand taels of silver notes in his house.

This time when I went out, I left a few silver notes worth one hundred taels for my family and took the rest with me.

As a result, when he counted the silver notes back at the inn, he found that the total amount was less than three thousand taels. After exchanging them for gold, some handling fees had to be deducted, so he only got two hundred and seventy taels of gold.

There were 300 barrels of foreign wine, excluding those that were five years old. After a 10% discount, it would be exactly 270 taels of gold, but he still wanted those barrels of five-year-old wine.

Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed. He clearly remembered that there were quite a lot of banknotes at home.

He also wants to buy a boatload of sugarcane and seafood this time.

There is also the cost of chartering a boat, so this money will not be enough.

"How about not buying anything else?"

Gu Feng suggested.

"No, I'm already here."

Qiao Yu decisively refused.

Nanyang City is too far away from them. They came here this time and they don’t know when they will come again next time.

Qiao Yu originally planned to ask how much the boats here cost, as he wanted to buy one to take back.

But I didn't expect to come across a boat full of good wine.

Seeing that his husband really wanted it, Gu Feng said, "Why don't you let them stay here for a few more days while I go back to get the money. It will only take four days."

Qiao Yu thought about it and felt that it was indeed feasible, but he was a little reluctant to let his husband work so hard.

Finally, he decided, “Forget it, I don’t want to drink so much this time.

We haven't even had a good time here yet, so why would I ask you to go back?

We are here to have fun, so we still have to prioritize.

I had to tell them the truth: there wasn't enough money this time.

Next time we go out, we must remember to bring more money."

Gu Feng naturally agreed.

Qiao Yu planned to keep one thousand taels as a reserve, so he exchanged it for one hundred and seventy taels of gold.

The foreigner's name was Lucas and his brother's name was Andre.

Lucas and Andre felt a little disappointed after hearing what Qiao Yu said.

Originally they all wanted to go home early.

Qiao Yu sincerely apologized: "I'm really sorry for wasting your time. I will pay the original price for the wine.

My husband and I are out here for fun this time, and this is all the money we have.

I don’t want my husband to go home to get it, it’s too far.”

“Is your hometown far away?”

Lucas asked.

Gu Feng replied: "It will take two days to travel."

Lucas' eyes lit up: "That's not too far. Andre, how about you guys wait here for me while Boss Qiao and the others go back to get the money?"

Although it will take a few more days, it is better than waiting for unknown business to come.

Andre disagreed and pulled his brother aside and said a lot of nonsense.

The gist of it was that it was too unsafe for him to go alone. What if the other party had bad intentions? Not only would he not be able to get his money back, but his life might even be in danger.

Lucas whispered, “But the wine merchants from the north haven’t come this year. How long do we have to wait?

Don't you want to go home early to be with Jenny?

And I don’t think they are bad people.

If it doesn't work, please let Leo and Johnson go with me.

They are both very skilled.”

Andre thought about it and finally agreed.

Foreigners who wanted to enter the territory of Dayan had to have a pass, and the government would record where they went and when they left.

Most people would not really make things difficult for them or cause trouble for the government.

After all, they are businessmen who paid a lot of tariffs.

Qiao Yu watched the two brothers discuss and whispered to Gu Feng, "I haven't thought of this method before. If I have to go to a strange place to withdraw money, I definitely wouldn't dare to go."

Gu Feng hummed: "I don't think it's safe either."

When Lucas smiled at them, "We have discussed it. I can go with you to your house. Just give me the balance when the time comes."

"Well, my husband and I still have to stay here for two days, and we haven't had enough fun yet."

Lucas smiled, "It doesn't matter. We can wait."

Qiao Yu was delighted when she heard this: "That's great. I'll host you all for dinner tonight."

Lucas said a little embarrassedly: "We have other brothers."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Call them together."

Others gave him a discount of more than 300 taels of silver, and a meal cost at most 30 taels, which was a good deal.

Lucas happily agreed.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng found the best-looking restaurant nearby and booked a private room.

The windows of the private room face the sea, and the sunset is particularly beautiful.

Qiao Yu accompanied Gu Feng to drink tea and watch the sunset for a while, then asked Chen Han to go to the boat to invite the guests to dinner.

This time, Qiao Yu did not order all seafood.

He thought Lucas and the others came here by boat and must be tired of eating seafood.

So he ordered some chicken, duck, beef, mutton, and only ordered braised pork.

Then ordered some light vegetarian dishes.

He was not sure if the other party could eat spicy food. After making sure that no chili would be added to any of the dishes, he smiled and said to the waiter, "That's it. Please serve the food faster."

As soon as the waiter left, he said to Gu Feng: "Brother Gu, let's cook for ourselves tomorrow."

Gu Feng understood: "Want something spicy?"

Qiao Yu nodded: "You don't know how delicious seafood is fried with chili and garlic!"

Gu Feng was about to stand up and go to the kitchen to ask them to make a dish with the flavor that Qiao Yu mentioned.

Qiao Yu hurriedly pulled the man back: "Don't bother, I also want to try the local food."

Soon, Lucas and Andre arrived, along with their cousins ​​Leo and Johnson.

These two men are very big and even more muscular than Gu Feng.

Qiao Yu had reason to suspect that these two men were not their cousins, but bodyguards of the two brothers.

Sure enough, Leo and Johnson took the initiative to sit next to Chen Hantiezhu. They didn't speak the whole time and ate quietly and well-trainedly.

They were not very good at using chopsticks and used spoons to scoop up the rice.

Chen Han and Tie Zhu were still laughing at the stupidity of the foreigners in their hearts.

Lucas does know how to use chopsticks, but he's a bit slow.

They had different eating habits from Dayan, so they seldom got off the boat to eat Dayan's food.

The beef stored on the ship had long been eaten up, and recently they had been eating all kinds of fish. Lucas was almost vomiting.

So the food Qiao Yudian prepared today was particularly to his liking.

Plus he and Andre brought a jar of ten-year-old wine.

Everyone at the table enjoyed the meal very much.

It was only then that Qiao Yu realized that Lucas, who looked very mature, was actually only nineteen years old.

Sure enough, foreigners just look old.

Qiao Yu secretly complained.

After the meal, everyone said goodbye one by one.

The sound of waves came from the beach not far away. Qiao Yu was a little drunk, so she held Gu Feng's hand and said she wanted to go surfing.

The sea waves at night are unpredictable, as if a giant beast may emerge from it at any time and drag people into the sea.

It was the first time that Gu Feng saw the sea and he thought it was too dangerous, so he coaxed Qiao Yu to come back the next morning to take him to see the sunrise.
