"Oh... you kid, don't get close to your fat brother anymore. You didn't learn his medical skills, but you learned a lot about his stinginess. It's the first time that Yun Yi comes all the way here, and you invite people to eat wontons? Is that so?
It’s not that you don’t have money, you don’t say you don’t have money, I’ll just hold it for you, you two can go play around.” Xiao Chen took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to him.
"Actually, no...I know, brother." Xiao Ye felt that there was no need to tell his brother about the embarrassing encounter between himself and Yun Yi last night.
"Yeah, what is that selling?" Ouyang Yunyi looked around and saw a long queue in front of a small shop on the street, but he didn't know what the business was so popular? Out of curiosity, he pulled Xiao Ye and walked past
As I got closer, I saw that it was a small shop selling candy.
"Eat less of that stuff, or else you will be like your brother Fu, with a mouth full of rotten teeth." Xiao Chen smiled and took a step ahead of Baili.
"Oh my god, why are there so many kinds of candies?" Ouyang Yunyi and Xiao Ye were at the end of the queue, stretching their necks to look at the various colorful candies in the store. They were no longer curious.
It’s not that Yun Yi has never seen the world, but it’s true that this kind of candy has only been around for a long time. Now, except for a few big cities such as Fengyang, Jiangdong, and Jiangnan, it’s not sold in the entire Zhou Dynasty.
It’s not that no one is buying it, it’s that demand exceeds supply.
As soon as they were produced, they were snatched away by merchants from all over the world who were waiting at the factory gate. Most of them were exported to Japan and the West because of the high price. The rest had to be sold locally in Yanyun, and only a small part was sold to
All over the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is still an extremely rare and rare luxury product.
The main reason is that there are too many types of candies. In the past, they were all red brown sugar cubes or dark sucrose tablets, but there were no fruit candies, milk candies, wine core candies, sesame candies, peanut candies, gummy candies...
They are all wrapped in colorful paper of various colors, with various patterns printed on them...
"My brother invented it." Xiao Ye said, "My brother also opened that candy factory."
"Brother Xiao is so awesome!" Ouyang Yunyi was greatly impressed.
"It's not just candies, there are also dry biscuits... Oh no, the biscuits, especially the cream biscuits are also very delicious, and the yogurt mooncakes are also delicious, especially the freshly baked ones are the sweetest. I will wait until I return to Changshanzhou
I'll take you to eat." Xiao Ye always ate out of buckets at first, but later Xiao Chen saw and scolded him, so he didn't dare to eat again.
In fact, it wasn't that Xiao Chen didn't allow him to eat, it was because he was afraid that eating too much sugar would damage his teeth, spleen and stomach.
"Two gentlemen, where are you going to buy candies?" But Luo Fei, who was in plain clothes, and a few brothers came over, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Young gentlemen, that gentleman is going to go there.
Where is it? Mr. Fu just ordered us to follow him, but you see how this man is so arrogant that he is worried that something might happen to him if he is not able to keep an eye on him."
"Oh, Deshengfang Yihongyuan." Xiao Ye said.
"Got it!" Luo Fei was overjoyed and quickly ordered his brothers to immediately set up sentries along the road. He also sent a few people to Yihongyuan to investigate to see if there were any random people or suspicious objects!
Of course, we couldn't just leave the two gentlemen standing in line here. We walked up to the man at the front, patted him on the shoulder, and discussed with a smile, "Brother, I have something to do urgently. This position allows me to
Can you do it for me?"
"Give it to you? Why!" The man turned around without even looking at him, "Why should I wait here for a long time... If you are really anxious, brother, then there is nothing wrong with giving it to you."
But it was Luo Fei who took out a five-cent piece of paper and pen and stuffed it into his hand. The man's eyes widened when he saw the money. He gave up the first position and put the note in the sun and squinted at it.
, walked behind Xiao Ye and the others with a smile and continued to line up.
Luo Fei came back with a big bag of candies, stuffed them into Xiao Ye's hand, bared his teeth at him, turned around and left.
"Wait!" Xiao Ye called him, took out two pieces of paper and pen that Xiao Chen gave him just now and handed them to Luo Fei, "Return your money."
"Hey, is this little money worth caring about, sir?" Luo Fei took the banknotes, glanced at them, and said with a smile, "Oh, so much for one hundred taels? Brother has made a lot of money this time, thank you.
It’s a reward!”
He slapped the two of them with a thousand dollars and left in a hurry.
"How come your banknotes are so colorful and beautiful, and they come in all denominations? Aren't you afraid of fraud? But this one is really convenient and tight to carry, better than silver and copper coins." Ouyang Yunyi came to Shunfeng City.
I have never seen this kind of banknote before.
"This is not a banknote, it is banknote. It is difficult to fake... but it can only be used in our Yanyun County. It can also be used in Northern Xinjiang, but it cannot be used in other places." Xiao Ye said and took out the remaining banknotes.
He gave half of it to Ouyang Yunyi, opened the candy bag, and the two of them ate happily.
Su Jianjia picked a bamboo pole with two wooden barrels hanging on both sides. Inside were freshly cooked wontons.
I walked to the door of Yihongyuan and took it off, wiped the fine beads of sweat on my forehead, looked up at the three characters "Yihongyuan", and let out a soft sigh.
"You can smell the fragrance in the yard!" Two boys came out to welcome them, carrying the wooden bucket and walking in. "The girls just got up, and they were waiting for your wontons. Look at how sweaty you are, come on.
Get up and wash your face and drink some water, the girls will reward you now."
"I won't go in. Here are some girls. This time we are giving them food, but it doesn't cost money. Also, we don't set up a stall here. We have to leave the city right now. Please ask the two brothers to do it for them.
I would like to thank my sisters for always taking care of our business." Su Jianjia said with a smile.
"Oh, why do you want to leave when your business is doing well?" The two boys were surprised, "Is someone bullying you? Tell us and we will help you fight!"
"No, I have something to do...Sister Mochou, sister Qiuyue, good morning." Before Su Jianjia could finish her words, she saw Mochou and Qiuyue coming out, and she hurriedly said hello with a smile.
When they heard that she was leaving, they both expressed their regrets. Then we would never be able to eat such delicious wontons again!
Mochou said, Sister Jianjia, please sit down for a moment. We have some old clothes that we can’t wear anymore and give them to you.
In addition, there are several pieces of jewelry that are old and outdated, and we can no longer wear them. They are all silver-coated and have no value, so I gave them to my sister to keep as a souvenir.
If something happens, you can sell it for a few pennies to use as an emergency. He said and hurried into the house.
Su Jianjia was about to leave, but Qiuyue pulled her to sit on a bamboo chair in the courtyard and asked someone to bring her some iced sour plum soup to drink.
Soon Mochou came out with a big package, followed by Mu Yu and Chaoyun. But when they heard that Su Jianjia was leaving, they all came out to say goodbye to her.
We are all of the same age, and we all like to talk and laugh. After getting along for the past few days, we got along very well, but when we parted suddenly, we were all a little reluctant to part.
"Forget it that you guys are up so late, why don't you hurry up and get dressed up? You all have sallow faces and disheveled hair like ghosts. How can you meet guests?" But it was Xiaoxiangyu who came out and shouted at a few people.
