Sun Hua and his son were not the only ones who did not know what kind of animal it was. Even the people on the dock had never seen it before. The little thing was not big, and it looked cuter than a monkey when it was hanging on a human.
Especially the little thing's expression, it always gave people a pitiful look. It would lie on the shoulder of the person standing at the bow of the ship, and its eyes would look around curiously and timidly from time to time, making people want to hold it in their arms.
"Wow, that thing's ears are so big!" A group of children who came to play on the dock saw the person walking to the dock, and their eyes focused on him. A little girl who was holding a doll in her arms shouted.
Not to mention girls, even boys would find this little thing interesting. If one looked closely, they would find that this little thing was not beautiful. However, its eyes, ears, and body posture were different from when it was together.
"What is it?" Another little girl saw the person on the ship standing on the dock, so she came closer and asked.
In fact, the person holding the little thing did not know what it was. He just followed the requirements of the Chamber of Commerce of the Zhang Family and Wang Family, who had great influence in Lu Zhou, no matter what strange things they encountered outside, they had to bring them back if they could. Therefore, they brought a group of these little things on the ship.
Fortunately, before they left, the people of the Chamber of Commerce had told them that if they caught a plant, they had to bring back the soil of that place. If they caught an animal, they had to know what the animal ate and then bring back the food. If they caught a plant, they had to bring back the seeds.
Even so, several of them died on the way.
When he heard the question of the little girl, the person thought carefully and organized his words before he answered, "We found this thing on our way south. It looks like a bear, but its ears are bigger. It likes to stay on the tree and is willing to eat leaves. We named it Leaf Bear.
This thing is timid and must not be scared. Others have never seen it before. In the future, someone might raise it as a treasure. When they know its habits, they will send it to the zoo in the capital. "
This person's explanation was quite detailed. At least, it was better than those who had never seen this animal. He even gave it a name.
"Who says others don't know? If Governor Zhang is here, he will definitely know. I'll go ask the people of the Chamber of Commerce." The little girl was not convinced. She squeezed through the crowd and ran towards the Chamber of Commerce.
The person holding the little thing shook his head helplessly. Looking at the little girl's age, he knew that she had never seen Zhang Zhong before. When Zhang Zhong was here, the little girl was probably only one year old.
But looking at the little girl's reaction just now, it was clear what kind of position Zhang Zhong had in her heart. It was too amazing. No matter how powerful the Zhang Family and the Wang Family were, how could they know something that they had never seen before? It seemed like Lu Zhou was really from the Zhang Family and the Wang Family.
The people on the ship continued to move the items down. They were counting on these items for the harvest of this trip. If it wasn't for the Chamber of Commerce guaranteeing that all the items brought back by the Jiangnan merchants would be bought at a high price, they really didn't want to bring back a pile of useless items.
The animals that looked like the little thing were also taken out of their cages. Some of them were looking around nervously with their eyes wide open, while others were sleeping.
Just when many people were watching curiously, a person from the Chamber of Commerce came over with a thick book in his hand. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he glanced at the little thing and compared it with the picture of the tree on the colorful page. He nodded and said to the person holding the little thing.
"Yes, this animal is called koala or koala. It likes to eat the leaves of several kinds of trees. It has a faint fragrance. It will only drink a little water when it is sick. Did you bring enough leaves of that eucalyptus? Did you bring back the seeds? Oh, there's a kind called rose eucalyptus that is the best. These little guys like to sleep all day long. Let me see, it's said that they can sleep for 14 to 18 hours. Little Young Master and Little Miss will be very happy.
Little Young Master and Little Young Master will buy it. "" See, I told you. Governor Zhang will definitely know. What's so great about it? "The little girl who went to call them just now raised her small head with a look that said," How dare you not believe me. "
No one paid attention to the little girl's words. Those who were close to the Chamber of Commerce moved closer to the people from the Chamber of Commerce and looked at the colored picture on the page. Sure enough, the picture was of the little things. Even the leaves they ate were drawn. Below the notes were written about their habits.
"That's amazing. Father, did you see that? The Zhang Family and Wang Family actually drew the things that just appeared in advance. How did they know? "
Sun Hua's son withdrew his clairvoyance that happened to be able to see the situation from this angle and said to his father with a shocked expression.
Sun Hua was not an immortal. How could he know how the Zhang Family and Wang Family knew what they had just seen? Hearing his son's question, he pretended to be profound and said, "This is the ability of others. If you want to be like others, you have to study hard and have a good memory. There's always someone better than you. This is the truth. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Father, I will definitely work hard." The little boy didn't understand, neither did his father. Hearing his father's reprimand, he immediately agreed seriously.
At this time, the things on the ships began to be moved down continuously. After wandering outside for a year and a half, they finally returned home. Everyone resisted the urge to take a good rest and seriously did the last thing they wanted to do.
It could be said that they had suffered a lot along the way. There were several times when they almost died at sea. They had eaten all their food and could only eat fish. If it weren't for the fact that the Chamber of Commerce of the Zhang Family and Wang Family provided them with a thing that could make fresh water out of seawater by drying it under the sun, they would have already died in the vast sea.
After another part of the things were unloaded from the ships, the people from the Chamber of Commerce stared at a pile of wood and said happily to the people on the ships that had just returned, "Good, you even brought back so much Red Sandalwood. This time you really made a lot of money."
