The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 479 Extra Zhou Mingqi (I)

"Saya, our business plan is very good, but I am afraid that I can't complete the task you assigned to me..."

Zhou Mingqi's little face was tightly wrinkled.

To be honest, she was very happy that her sister valued her so much.

But along with it comes the pressure on his shoulders as the second manager of the Zhou family!

"Second sister, you need to have confidence in yourself. Why can't you do that? There are so many people of the same age around us. Look carefully and think about it. How many people are better than you?"

Zhou Mingqi counted on his fingers very seriously.

"Oh, second sister, you don't have to be so serious about this. You are already much better than others. We have experienced many ups and downs when we were working on business together in the past few years. I believe you can do it when you go out."

"Okay, then I'll work hard, listen to you and give it a try, and try to find my way home after walking around outside."

"Haha, you can do it, second sister. It's your first time traveling far away as long as you don't get cheated too badly."

Zhou Mingqi finally boarded the big ship bound for a distant place, accompanied by his accountant and servant guards.

She has never left Sanshui County since she was a child, but this time she is really going to leave Chengzhou to see the bigger world outside.

It would be a lie to say I’m not nervous!

It would be a lie to say I don’t miss home!

San Ya has a heavier burden on her shoulders, she must grow up and share some of the pressure.

"Second Miss, please don't feel bad. Before leaving, Third Miss told me that this first trip is mainly to help you adapt and broaden your horizons. Whether you can complete the tasks assigned to you is secondary."

"Uncle Fu, I understand everything. My parents told me the same thing before I left. But my family entrusted me with such an important matter, so how could I not take it to heart? I am a bit playful on weekdays, but I still know what is important and what is not. Don't worry, I will adapt quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mingqi lay down beside the mast and started vomiting.

Mr. Fu followed closely behind, patting her back with a worried look on his face, "Second Miss, you should go to the cabin and have a good rest. It's inevitable that you will feel a little uncomfortable on this first time on board."

Zhou Mingqi was also surprised. She didn't expect that she would get seasick!

Grass! (a plant)

So sad!

"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Fu to keep an eye on me. I'll go lie down for a while and come back when I feel better."

After Zhou Mingqi entered the cabin, he drank some water and lay down obediently.

This seasickness is so torturous...

I can’t fall asleep, and being awake is even more uncomfortable. I really want someone to hit her with a hammer!

Just when she was feeling extremely uncomfortable, she suddenly thought of the mint ointment in her bag, thinking that maybe it would help if she sniffed it.

The mint ointment could lift her spirits a little, but it could not cure her discomfort and she still had trouble sleeping.

She thought that riding on a big ship was a great thing and she could brag about it to her good sisters when she came back, but she didn't expect that she would get seasick!

"Second Miss, are you okay? I brought you a bowl of seasickness medicine, would you like to drink some?" Mr. Fu knocked on Zhou Mingqi's door at the right time.

"Uncle Fu, you came at the right time. Why am I so uncomfortable with seasickness? It's even worse than when I had a cold."

"Second Miss, bear with it and take this seasickness medicine first. It will take effect soon after you drink it, and you won't feel so uncomfortable then."

"it is good."

Zhou Mingqi picked up the bowl full of seasickness medicine and drank it all in one gulp, his little face wrinkled with bitterness.

"We are still a little anxious to leave. Several servants traveling with us are also a little seasick and are now feeling uncomfortable in the rear cabin. Fortunately, we met a young man who brought us medicine. I shamelessly bought some. Otherwise, we would have to wait until the next stop to buy medicine."

"Uncle Fu, you have to thank that young master, otherwise we will be miserable."

"Haha, that's for sure. I've already expressed my gratitude several times. When we get to the next stop, I'll go to the nearby pharmacy to get some medicine."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Mingqi was still tired after taking the seasickness medicine, but he fell asleep soon. Finally, he didn't have to suffer so much.

Nearing evening, Zhou Mingqi opened her eyes on the swaying boat. Unexpectedly, the seasickness medicine was really effective and her body no longer felt so uncomfortable.

Call ~

It was her first time to appreciate the afterglow of sunset on the river, and she didn't expect it to be so beautiful.

The sunlight on my face felt somewhat warm, and the river breeze blew past, causing the silk ribbons in my hair to flutter. I felt refreshed all over. It was extremely refreshing compared to the stuffy cabin.

"Hey, girl, please don't stand here. This place is full of people loading and unloading goods. It's not safe. Please stay away."

A shirtless strong man came up to Zhou Mingqi and kindly reminded her that such thin arms and legs could be broken with a stick, let alone hundreds of kilograms of goods.

Zhou Mingqi didn't pay attention to it. He listened to his words and quickly left the "troublesome place". Looking from a distance, he saw that there were indeed several cranes made of thick sticks, which were really dangerous.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, sir."

Zhou Mingqi politely performed a thank you gesture.

After several years of experience in the business world, she is no longer the rude and annoying girl she used to be, but a more polite and sensible person...

Qin Jiaxue was carrying a large box in one hand, which was so heavy that he could not move. When he saw the woman thanking him, he simply replied, "You're welcome," and walked away.

A cargo porter like him on a ship's hold has encountered many things.

It was obvious that this delicate young lady was boarding the ship for the first time, otherwise why would she be standing in such a dangerous place as the cargo port.

The things they carry are enough to kill someone. They don't know where their boss has gone, and they don't take good care of him. If anything dangerous happens, they will be blackmailed again.

Not only will I lose the money for the boat ticket, but I may also have to pay a large sum of medical expenses...

Qin Jiaxue has been working as a porter on the ship for a long time. This is the only thing he does all day long. He can only pass the boring time by imagining.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, you are here. I was so scared. I went to your room just now and couldn't find you."

Mr. Fu trotted out and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person.

"Uncle Fu, I came out to stand for a while after I woke up. I feel much better now."

"That's good, Miss, please follow me. It's time for dinner. If you're late, there won't be any food."

"it is good."

--

When Mr. Zhou Mingqi and Fu were having dinner with a group of servants, another wave of people poured into the cabin cafeteria.

As they came in, there was not only the river breeze, but also the smell of sweat.

There's nothing we can do, as most of the people on the boat are grown men.

"Hey, isn't that the young man who sold us medicine? You guys eat first, I'll go and deliver some things."

Mr. Fu was a man who knew how to deal with people. He went to the window, asked for two bowls of braised pork, and gave them to the young man.

"Mr. Qin, thanks to your seasickness medicine, my family members are no longer feeling so uncomfortable after using it. This is a small gift from me, please accept it."

It is not easy to buy seasickness medicine on the ship. The second young lady and the brothers can feel better thanks to them, so he should thank them very much.

"Old man, you don't have to be so polite. You buy the medicine and I sell it. Now that we have settled the payment, you don't have to give me meat anymore."

How could Qin Jiaxue accept it? Although it was a kind gesture, the price of the medicine was already higher than that.

"Mr. Qin, just accept it. You do hard work, so eating more meat will give you strength. I am also expressing my gratitude, so please don't be offended."

"Okay, I'll leave one bowl for you, and you can take the other one away. I can't finish it anyway."

Seeing that Master Qin said he wanted to accept it, Mr. Fu had no choice but to take the other bowl away.

Qin Jiaxue only took a casual glance and noticed the woman sitting in the corner.

Why does it look so familiar?

Isn't this the guy enjoying the breeze on the deck?

It turned out that she was the old man's daughter, the one who was seasick.

He is so thin, with skinny arms and legs, no wonder he gets seasick.

"Second Miss, it was Mr. Qin who sold us the seasickness medicine. He is a good man."

Zhou Mingqi had already seen it when Mr. Fu presented the meat, and now he just nodded slightly.

Unexpectedly, he was the one who reminded her to be careful.

He looks big and strong, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. He even carries seasickness medicine with him. Could it be that he also suffers from seasickness?

"Uncle Fu, that man looks quite strong. He is also a cargo worker on the ship. How come he is seasick?"

Zhou Mingqi was puzzled. How could he work on the ship if he was seasick?

"Second Miss, I was also very curious, so I asked a question at that time. Mr. Qin himself does not get seasick. It is because he has been working on the ship for many years and has seen many seasick passengers, so he brought a few packets of seasickness medicine with him for everyone to use."

"I see. He is quite kind-hearted and willing to lend a helping hand to strangers on the ship."

"That's not true. I think so too. Young Master Qin is a good man. We will have to take this ship again when we return from the south. It never hurts to know one more person, and one more friend."

"Uncle Fu, you're right. We're going to such a far place, and we're not familiar with a lot of the humanities and geography. Knowing one more person means we can have more care."

Mr. Fu stroked his beard and felt a little more admiration for the Second Miss after hearing what he had just said.

"Don't worry, Miss Second, leave the matter of getting the information to me. We will work together and will definitely not delay Miss Third's business."

After hearing what Mr. Fu said, Zhou Mingqi's pressure was relieved a lot.

God knows how nervous she was along the way.

That night.

Zhou Mingqi lay in the room thinking carefully about traveling.

In the silent night, the sound of the river can be heard continuously.

The voice seemed to have a kind of magic, and coupled with the fatigue of the boat ride, she soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the ship inexplicably docked and the workers on board became noisy.

"Second Miss, the ship is about to dock to unload. We have an hour to rest. Do you want to go down and take a walk and rest?"

"Okay, I'll come right away."

There was still a lot of morning fog on the river. Zhou Mingqi felt a little cold, so he went back to his room and put on a coat.

The place where they docked was called Shangyang, and she had never heard of it before.

When she got down to the ground, Zhou Mingqi actually felt a sense of emptiness and unreality about the land she had been standing on for more than ten years.

Zhou Mingqi and the guards were waiting for Mr. Fu on the roadside, and they had no idea what Mr. Fu and Mr. Qin were whispering about while standing at the stern of the boat.

Not long after, Mr. Fu finally got off the boat with his luggage.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time, Miss. I just asked Mr. Qin about the location of the pharmacy and the local delicacies. Miss, let's go into the city quickly, time waits for no one."

Zhou Mingqi and his group quickly entered Shangyang City. Shangyang City was indeed very different from Sanshui County.
