Seeing that Huo Xi had an idea, Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu calmed down.
"Okay, let's make the salted fish and keep it for ourselves. We can eat it for a long time."
"It's great. Our family won't have to buy salt for a long time."
Huo Xi laughed. They had brought all the money to their door, so why not just eat it themselves? But he just smiled.
Then I thought, using bamboo tubes to store salt is not very smart.
She thought of the various methods of hiding gold and silver that landlords and wealthy people had heard about before, such as hiding gold bars in pumpkins and stuffing pearls into eggplants... Next time she saw the guy named Gong, she had to let him learn the methods of wealthy landlords.
.
Using salted fish to cover it seems unreliable.
The matter was settled perfectly in Huai'an. Huo Xi got out of the cabin and stood on the deck of the ship to look back.
Huai'an is getting farther and farther behind as the ship rocks.
Although there were twists and turns on this trip, and although the food delivery took a little longer, it was still smooth and there was no loss.
She bought a lot of goods from the north and the south. Looking at the linen, cane sugar and other items piled high on the ship's cabin, Huo Xi felt satisfied thinking that she would have money to earn again.
And those silk cloths, if they are counted as ten taels per piece, fifty-three pieces can get 530 taels of silver. They acted a black and black game with Gong Ziyi, and they actually got two thousand taels!
Huo Xi was very satisfied. He would buy the land when he returned!
There was a smile on his face.
Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu saw her standing on the deck, spreading her arms, enjoying the breeze of the river with a smile on her face, and they also laughed: "Xi'er is very happy?"
Huo Xi nodded: "Well, I'm glad. Dad, let's buy some fields when we get back! We don't have to buy food anymore!"
Huo Erhuai's spirit perked up, and he immediately raised the corners of his mouth and nodded: "Yes, yes, when I get back, my father will find Yaren and buy some land!"
It's great that his family can have acres of land again.
Ten years.
He has forgotten that he is a farmer. How can a farmer have no land? It is time to buy land.
"Then shall we still fish?"
Although Yang Fu was happy, he was not as excited as Huo Erhuai. He had been on a boat and on the water since he was born, and he did not understand Huo Erhuai's kind of peace of mind of finding something lost and always looking forward to having a farmland.
He felt that he was very happy on the water and on the boat. The family was together and he had nothing to worry about. He could go fishing wherever he wanted, and he was relaxed and at ease.
Every time I go back to Yangjia Village and Huojiaba, I feel like everything is going on, and I am still upset when I get upset.
What's more, now that my family's life has improved, the small boat has been replaced by a big one, and the family has some money.
He vaguely rejected the idea of returning to a life where the village was surrounded by gossip, prying, and trivial matters.
Huo Xi glanced at him, she understood his state of mind.
She also likes to live a quiet life. She and Nian'er especially need a quiet and undisturbed life, and have good years to wait for them to grow up.
It will be fine if I grow up in a few more years.
No one recognizes her, so she doesn't have to be careful, she can show off her skills.
"Fight. Why not fish?" Huo Xi said.
"Really?" Yang Fu was delighted and looked at Huo Erhuai uncertainly.
Huo Erhuai laughed and said, "We just bought a new boat, so we can't throw it away." Huo Erhuai was also used to fishing.
"Then buy the land..."
"You don't have to grow your own land to buy a field." Huo Xi rolled her eyes at him.
"When the time comes, we can hire people, or rent out the land and just collect land rent. Then we will be like Uncle Zhou Yi in Shangshan Village, treating fishing as a hobby to pass the time. We will open a shop
, while selling goods, fishing if you want, and at the same time renting land, so you don’t have to go hungry, how nice is that?”
These words made Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu feel very excited.
He nodded repeatedly.
It was truly a life lived by the gods. Even the gods would not change it.
Huo Erhuai secretly raised his eyes and looked around in the sky, thinking silently in his heart, thank you to the gods from all over the world for sending these two children, Xi'er and Nian'er, to us.
It must be the gods from all walks of life who saw that my husband and I had a good heart and allowed us to live a good life.
Thank you to all the gods. I, Huo Erhuai, will definitely do more good deeds in the future and treat my two children kindly. They will treat them as if they were my own. This canal water is proof.
Huo Xi looked at him intently for a long time before speaking: "Dad, let's go ashore at Guazhou Pier ahead and have a look. We can also look for something for Mom and Nian'er."
"Okay. We left in a hurry and haven't bought anything for your mother and Nian'er yet." Huo Erhuai agreed.
Yang Fu also nodded: "Yes. Xi'er also said that she wanted to give a gift to Master He, but there was no chance."
When Huo Xi heard this, she also felt regretful. She wondered if there would be a chance to see her again in the future. She also got a lot of food and money from Lord He.
"I also said that I would treat Qian Xiaoxia, Zou Sheng and the others to a good meal in Huai'an. How about we treat everyone to a meal in Guazhou?"
Huo Erhuai nodded: "I want what I want. Everyone is very cooperative this time. Let's go together as soon as we say. Many people want to take a good look at the excitement in Huai'an."
The family agreed to take a stroll at Guazhou Pier.
All the way back, there was a steady stream of water boats coming to Huai'an in the Grand Canal, and the river was crowded with water boats and returning fishing boats.
After waiting for most of the day to cross Qingjiang Daxia, it was already dusk the next day when we arrived at Guazhou Pier.
After leaving the people guarding the boat, Huo Erhuai called all the principals of each family ashore and found a restaurant to treat everyone to a good meal.
Huo Xi, Yang Fu and others who were guarding the ship were not idle either. They called various vendors on the pier to bring all the delicious food to the ship. Everyone was eating and drinking on the deck, which was very comfortable.
When Huo Erhuai came back, Huo Xi and Yang Fu took some of the young men guarding the boat and went ashore to have fun.
There are various vendors and shops on the pier. Because grain transportation to the north has started this year, the entire pier is brightly lit, as bright as day.
Yangzhou is famous for its jade craftsmen and has a dazzling array of jade ornaments.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu watched intently, but they were short of money. The little money they had was not enough to buy a jade ornament.
Thinking that Yang had sold the dowry bracelets, she had the start-up capital. Huo Xi found a jewelry shop, carefully selected, and spent twenty taels of gold to buy a pair of fine gold bracelets for Yang.
"My sister will be so happy when she sees her!"
Yang Fu looked at it happily. His sister also had children to look after. It was great.
Seeing that Yang Fu was staring at it, Huo Xi said to him: "Uncle, you can also pick one for mother."
"I'll give you the money. You helped me sell the silk this time. I'll give you the money as well."
"No, no, no." Yang Fu waved his hand. He almost did bad things with good intentions, but he had the nerve to ask for Xi'er's money.
"Can I give you ten taels as a private house? Let's buy a field with the remaining silver." Huo Xi insisted on giving it.
"You really don't need to give me money."
"You think it's too little?"
"No, no!" Yang Fu was at a loss.
"Then I'll give you ten taels, and you can buy them yourself. If you want more, you can save it yourself."
Yang Fu had no choice but to take it.
It was the first time I had so much money. I was so happy that I didn’t know where to put it.
"Then I'll also buy a pair of bracelets for my sister. I'll buy the silver ones. I'll buy them for my sister on behalf of my parents. My sister also has a family member."
Huo Xi nodded heavily: "Yes." Her mother not only has her natal family, she will also have filial children in the future.
So Yang Fulian went to three or four jewelry shops, carefully selected a pair of fine silver bracelets for Mr. Yang, and bought a purse. He wrapped the silver bracelets carefully with a handkerchief given by the store and put them into the purse.
Carefully put it in your arms.
He patted it and said: "When I can earn money by myself in the future, I will also buy it for Xi'er. You will also have someone from your mother's family in the future."
"Yeah." Huo Xi nodded heavily again, feeling warm in her heart.
After Yang Fu led Huo Xi out of the shop, he saw that his hands were empty and only Qian Xiaoxia and others were watching the excitement. A feeling of pride could not help but rise from the bottom of his heart.
For the first time, I felt the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment brought by money.
