Tang Xiaobei took the initiative to take Shen Xiuxiu in, obviously because he had a crush on the little girl.
Zheng Chiyuan, as a human spirit, would naturally not win someone's love, let alone compete with Tang Xiaobei.
"Little girl, you'd better follow Mrs. Xiaobei to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. It's really not appropriate to go to the Navy!"
Zheng Chiyuan also winked at Shen Xiuxiu: "This is the wife of the Imperial Master, and she is also the general manager of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. All the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce and supply and marketing cooperatives in the world belong to this lady.
Not only does Mrs. Xiaobei have a great business, but she is also a kind and compassionate person. Our soup kitchen in the East China Sea was opened by Mrs. Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, and all the kelp we picked from the sea was taken away by Mrs.
Then it was sold by the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to all parts of Dakang, and countless people in Jiangnan and the Central Plains were saved. It can be said to be a blessing to countless living people. You can learn a lot from Mrs. Xiaobei and do a lot of good deeds!"
Even though he knew Zheng Chiyuan was flattering him, the corners of Tang Xiaobei's mouth still curled up slightly.
In the feudal era, merchants had a low status. No matter how big their business was, they would be looked down upon.
But what Zheng Chiyuan just said directly raised Tang Xiaobei's business behavior to a new level, and it simply spoke to Tang Xiaobei's heart.
This is also the power of a veteran official like Zheng Chiyuan.
He always knows when to say what to say, making people fall in love with him involuntarily.
Shen Xiuxiu also looked up at Tang Xiaobei in surprise.
Because of the dock, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the Jinchuan Bank have long been stationed in Yuxi Town. Recently, they have made money transporting kelp. Shen Xiuxiu will go to the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to buy food tools and daily necessities every time she goes ashore.
Every time she goes to Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, Shen Xiuxiu marvels at the dazzling array of products on the counter.
But she really didn't expect that such a large chamber of commerce would be opened by this ridiculously beautiful woman in front of her.
Even if she was unfamiliar with the world, she still knew that following Tang Xiaobei would definitely bring great benefits in the future.
But Shen Xiuxiu finally shook her head, first kowtowed to Tang Xiaobei, and said: "Thank you madam for looking after Xiuxiu, but my father, uncle, and brother were all killed by pirates, and I just want to kill the pirates!"
After saying that, she turned around and knelt down towards Zheng Chiyuan. She was unwilling to get up no matter who tried to pull her away, and insisted that Zheng Chiyuan take her into the navy.
"You girl, why don't you listen?"
Zheng Chiyuan was also very helpless: "You are really too young. You can't do anything on the ship. Why do you have to go to the Navy?"
But Shen Xiuxiu just knelt on the ground and didn't answer.
Seeing the situation, Zheng Chi glanced at Tang Xiaobei apologetically, saying that it was not him who wanted to win someone's love, but the little girl who refused to listen.
Tang Xiaobei knew that he should not get involved in the Navy's affairs, but seeing Shen Xiuxiu's firm attitude, he felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, and helped Shen Xiuxiu and said: "General Zheng, I guess this incident has become a knot in her heart, so why not let her go first?"
Go to the navy and wait until you catch up with these pirates and help her untie her knot."
Tang Xiaobei had already spoken. Zheng Chiyuan naturally would not refute Tang Xiaobei's face. He nodded and said: "Madam, this is a very good suggestion. I just recently hired a young man who is about the same age as this little girl. The two of them are just right.
Be a companion.”
After saying that, he called the guard who brought the water baby before: "Please arrange for the little girl to take care of the wound on her head first, and then let her train with the water baby!"
"Yes!" The guard quickly stepped forward to pick up the little girl and went to find a military doctor to treat the wound.
Jin Feng chatted with Zheng Chiyuan for a while, and then took Tang Xiaobei to the drying ground warehouse to check the latest batch of kelp.
In the evening, the water baby came back jumping, carrying a pack of dried fish on its back.

This was the big fish he caught last time. Grandpa Turtle had dried it until it was half dry in the past few days, so he asked him to carry it over and taste it with his comrades.
Shui Wa said no, the navy all had to eat from a big pot, but Grandpa Turtle still hung the baggage around his neck.
There was no other way, Shui Wa had no choice but to carry it.
After getting on the boat, I immediately went straight to the stove on the boat.
Throwing the dried fish in front of the cook: "Uncle Zhang, this is the dried fish that my grandfather Turtle dried. If you ask me to bring it to everyone to try, you can cook it tonight!"
The navy floats on the sea every day, and the most indispensable thing is sea fish. But since it was sent by Shui Wa's grandfather, the cook naturally did not show disgust, but smiled and nodded: "I heard that you Sichuan and Shu people are salty.
The fish craftsmanship is very good, I can finally try it today!”
When Shui Wa heard this, she became really happy: "That's right, my Grandpa Turtle's pickled pepper fish is very delicious, and you don't even have it here!"
"Pepper and sesame fish?" the cook asked, "Did you add Sichuan peppercorns?"
Sichuan and Sichuan are surrounded by mountains and there is a basin in the middle. The humidity is relatively heavy. Since ancient times, people in Sichuan and Shu have liked to eat Chinese prickly ash to resist moisture erosion.
After the Donghai Shipyard was established, many Sichuan and Sichuan workers came. They were not used to Donghai food, so Mancang hired a group of chefs from Sichuan and Sichuan to come over and set up several windows in the canteen to specialize in Sichuan and Sichuan food.
It was a cloudy and rainy day some time ago. People from the Navy went to the drying ground to help collect kelp, and the cooks also followed.
As a fellow cook, after seeing different cooking methods, the cook naturally wanted to try Sichuan cuisine.
Then he discovered the unique taste of Sichuan cuisine.
Sichuan peppercorns can not only remove moisture, but also enhance the umami flavor of food. Especially when cooking fish, adding a little bit of it can relieve the fishy smell to a great extent.
The first bite was a little uncomfortable, but after one meal, the cook completely fell in love with the taste. For this reason, he went to the kitchen to ask the Sichuan cook for a pack of Sichuan peppercorns.
Unfortunately, there were too many people on board, so even if the cook saved some money, he would finish a pack of peppercorns in a few days.
He also thought about going to get some more, but the ship didn't dock and he couldn't go.
"Of course!"
Shui Wa happily opened the baggage.
When the cook took a look, the fish pieces were indeed covered with Sichuan peppercorns.
"Great, we finally have Sichuan peppercorns again!"
The cook quickly brought over a small bowl, picked the peppercorns from the fish pieces, and put them into the small bowl.
"Uncle Zhang, isn't it just a little pepper? How about you?"
Shui Wa sneered at his behavior.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum is very abundant in Sichuan and Sichuan, and it is everywhere in the valley where Shui Wa and Grandpa Turtle live.
"What do you know? You will find out after you stay on the ship for a few months, and I will make you cry when the time comes."
The cook said while picking peppercorns: "By the way, haven't you been clamoring to see the Imperial Preceptor? In the afternoon I saw the Imperial Preceptor coming and chatting with General Zheng on the shore for a long time. Do you want to meet him?"
