Chapter 743 Clothes?
When Jeff saw that she understood what he meant, he looked around, then lowered his head and pointed at his clothes: "This."
Xia Wanniang watched his movements: "Clothes?"
Jeff waved his hands quickly and scratched his curly hair, looking extremely anxious.
Seeing him like this, Xia Wanniang smiled and said, "You can try to speak your language. Maybe I can understand you."
Jeff looked at him in surprise and tried to speak their language: "Can you understand?" Then he looked at her expectantly.
Xia Wanniang was worried that she didn't understand: "I understand, you want to change the fabric, right?"
Jeff was so happy that he nodded quickly: "Thank God, someone finally understands what I say."
Xia Wanniang looked at the man and smiled: "What kind of fabric? Silk? Or something else?"
Jeff waved his hand: "We don't need silk anywhere, ordinary cloth will do."
Xia Wanniang understood: "Just exchange for ordinary fabrics?"
Jeff scratched his head: "Can I get some food? We are short of food."
Xia Wanniang readily agreed: "Of course, but how much do you need to change? Can your boat only hold it?"
Jeff was a little embarrassed: "I came here on someone else's ship. He wants to take one third of what I exchange. I don't know how much I can get in exchange."
Xia Wanniang looked at him and said, "Why don't you put your things away? I'll take you around the city. If there's anything you like, you can tell me. We can discuss the amount in exchange later."
Jeff thanked him: "You are such a nice person, my name is Jeff."
"This is my husband Xiao Chiye, you can call me Madam Xiao." Xia Wanniang introduced Xiao Chiye beside her.
Jeff said in the not-so-fluent Daxia language: "Hello, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Chiye nodded at him: "Wanwan, what does he want to change?"
"He wants to exchange for ordinary cloth and some food. His name is Jeff." Xia Wanniang explained to him briefly.
Xiao Chiye looked at the bags he had put away and said, "He must be holding gems!"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "It's a gem of good quality. Let's see what he wants to exchange for it first."
Jeff gathered his things and followed them.
Whenever he saw something that interested him, he would ask Xia Wanniang.
Xia Wanniang would explain it to him, and then take him to the cloth shop here to look at the fabrics there. Ramie and cotton and linen fabrics were his first choice.
He did not choose any other silk fabrics.
"We can wear such gorgeous fabrics anywhere, but I like the porcelain you have here. Can I exchange some for it?" Jeff asked carefully.
Xia Wanniang estimated the price of his gemstones: "Of course, we can, but we will discuss the quantity later."
After a day of shopping, Jeff selected fabrics, some grain and porcelain.
Xia Wanniang found a restaurant to invite Jeff to dinner and discussed the exchange amount with him.
After hearing the amount, Jeff felt that Xia Wanniang was a very generous person and agreed without thinking.
Xia Wanniang asked him a question: "Jeff, are you here to do business this time?"
Jeff thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I am not familiar with them. They stopped at our land and said they were going to other continents to do business, so I followed them to try my luck."
He thought for a moment and said, "It's just that I'm unlucky. It's hard to sell the things I brought. Fortunately, I met you."
Xia Wanniang asked while translating the general content to Xiao Chiye.
"So you guys aren't together?"
Jeff nodded. "They came to our land to replenish water. I said I wanted to come and see. They said yes, but they wanted one-third of the items I bought in exchange."
Xia Wanniang: "Do they have any special weapons?"
"Are you talking about the musket? I heard from them that it seems very powerful, but they seem to have sold some of them, and they won't tell me the details." Jeff told me what he knew.
Xia Wanniang agreed on the delivery time with him, and then they parted ways.
Xiao Chiye watched Jeff walk away happily: "They will leave the day after tomorrow?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "It's unclear whether the others are here to do business or to gather information."
Xiao Chiye: "Go to the store to buy fabric?"
