Chapter 234: Your Friend He Hu's Family
After listening to him, Xie Jiaojiao finally understood why Gao Shen said that the He family had its own route.
It turns out that the He family also did business in Jiangbo City a long time ago, but because of the rise of Jiang Huaian, the He family lost their foothold in this county, so the whole family moved from Jiangbo City to the town.
The He family already had their own route, which was opened up a long time ago. Of course, they did not open it up at the official post station, but they used their connections to build a post station on this line not far from the official post station. Because this post station was close to the official post station, there were rarely any problems on the road.
After listening to this, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Then his land transportation must be very good."
Gao Shen nodded and talked about water transportation: "Their water transportation does not go by sea, so basically they only encounter some pirates, who are not as powerful as pirates. Therefore, their water transportation is not bad, but they always prepare more manpower."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, and suddenly felt that she could ask Jiang Weinan to contact the He family. Previously, she just thought that their business was in the town and might not be able to grow big, but now thinking about it, it is not impossible for their family to grow big!
At noon, I had a simple lunch at Xiangyuan Tower, accompanied Gao Shen to watch Wu Song fighting the tiger, and then went to chat with Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei looks much more energetic now than when we first met.
"Jiaojiao, don't worry, I have already arranged for you to stay in the various Xiangyuan buildings in the state capital."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
"No, to be honest, if you hadn't taken a fancy to us, our troupe would have disbanded long ago."
“It’s just a win-win situation!”
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say much. She just chatted for a few words and then left.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw the servant beside Gao Shen coming over with a bag of things: "Madam Jiang Shao, this is what our boss asked me to bring. He said it is medicinal herbs for Master Jiang and you to replenish your body!"
Xie Jiaojiao was not polite and gave the boy a few copper coins: "Thank you for the trouble you made. Thank your boss for me."
The servant was delighted when he took the copper coins and nodded with a smile: "The boss said that the instructions are in this bundle. Just follow the steps to boil the medicine."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and handed the herbs in her hand to Qiuxiang.
When Xie Jiaojiao returned home, she saw Lai Fu napping at the door: "You sit here, don't you feel cold?"
When Lai Fu heard Xie Jiaojiao's voice, he woke up immediately, touched his head and stood up.
"If you feel tired, go and rest. Is your young master going to embarrass you?"
"Thank you, madam!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and walked into the house. She saw Jiang Weinan drawing something in front of the desk. Xie Jiaojiao walked over and saw that the drawing was of her.
"Your painting is three-quarters similar."
Jiang Weinan held up the pen and looked at her: "It's obviously 7 points!"
"How can I look so gentle and quiet?"
"In my eyes, there is!"
Chunxiang and Qiuxiang were listening nearby and couldn't help but laugh. Xie Jiaojiao reached out and pinched Jiang Weinan.
Jiang Weinan quickly dodged: "Look at you..."
"Okay, stop talking."
The two maids looked at her and bowed and asked, "Madam, shall we go and boil the herbs for you and the young master now?"
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand: "No hurry!"
Jiang Weinan quickly put down his pen, pulled Xie Jiaojiao aside and asked with concern: "What medicinal herbs? Are you feeling unwell? Are you sick?"
Xie Jiaojiao slapped his hand away: "No! It was sent by Brother Gao, and I couldn't refuse it. He said it was for both of us to replenish our bodies. I'm not seriously ill, so I'll ask them to boil it for you to take."
When she said this, Jiang Weinan remembered what Gao Shen said two days ago, and couldn't help but blushing.
Blushing, she said, "I'm in good health too!"
Xie Jiaojiao listened and smiled, not caring what he said. She asked Qiuxiang to bring the account book that Manager Wang brought in the morning to the table.
Jiang Weinan held the account book and said, "Okay, I'll clean it up. You can come here and look. The light is better here. Also, you two, go get a hot water bottle for the young lady."
"No, it's not cold now!"
"It's cold sitting here!"
When the two girls heard this, they turned around and left immediately.
While Jiang Weinan was packing up his paintings, he asked Xie Jiaojiao, "How was your talk with Brother Gao?"
"It's a good thing! Today, Brother Gao recommended a transportation company to me. Guess which one it is?"
Jiang Weinan waved his hand: "How can I guess that? There are too many people doing transportation at the Jiangbo City Wharf!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled: "It's not from Jiangbo City."
Jiang Weinan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then understood: "Could it be..."
"It's your friend He Hu's house."
Jiang Weinan had an expression that said, "I knew it. You didn't believe me when I recommended this company to you."
Xie Jiaojiao opened the account book: "Who made your friend so unreasonable?"
There was no conversation afterwards. Xie Jiaojiao looked at the account book. Jiang Weinan did not disturb her and started playing five-finger chess on the couch alone.
It was not until it got dark that Xie Jiaojiao stretched herself.
Jiang Weinan quickly asked someone to bring the food.
He kept picking up food for Xie Jiaojiao.
The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao went out again and went directly to Xiangyuan Tower. She had an appointment with Gu Weizhi today.
Gu Weizhi received Xie Jiaojiao's letter yesterday and set off early in the morning.
"Manager Gu looks much more energetic this year than last year!"
Gu Weizhi smiled and bowed to Xie Jiaojiao: "Thanks to the blessing of Madam."
Xie Jiaojiao gave him a light support and then asked Gu Weizhi to sit down. The maid next to them immediately poured tea for both of them.
Xie Jiaojiao said, "Last year, the profits of all the shops in the state capital increased several times compared to the previous years, thanks to your promotion."
Gu Weizhi didn't dare to take credit: "No, no, it's still the young lady who has foresight. I'm just learning from her."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "Manager Gu, you don't have to be like this. I can see how much you have done in the meantime! I called Manager Gu here this time because I have something else to discuss with you."
Gu Weizhi nodded, waiting for Xie Jiaojiao's next words.
Xie Jiaojiao said it very directly, she wanted to do the transportation business.
Most of the needs of all the shops in the state capital are supplied by the ferry at the state capital.
Gu Weizhi frowned slightly when he heard this: "But isn't the young lady's husband's family engaged in transportation?"
Xie Jiaojiao took a sip of tea and said, "Manager Gu doesn't need to know about this. I just hope that Manager Gu can help me convey this message when he returns. As for the new freight forwarding shop, I will let you know after I have finished it."
Gu Weizhi immediately bowed and said yes.
Xie Jiaojiao talked about the inn again: "Since we are doing this freight business, I have another idea, that is, we can add inns and restaurants on this freight road. This is also the main purpose of looking for you today..."
When Gu Weizhi heard this, his eyes lit up immediately...
