Chapter 131 Something has to be done (Thank you, please scroll forward)
At sunset, the family pushed the cart back to Qionghua Lane.
Yang went into the kitchen to cook, invited Huo Xi and Yang Fu to have dinner, and then prepared to take the food box and go out.
"Mom, why don't you eat with us?"
"Mom also wants to bring food to your father, so we can eat together. By the way, I can bring Nian'er back."
"Mom, how about you stay on the boat with dad and come back tomorrow morning."
Yang paused and shook her head: "Mom, I don't trust you two." After saying a few words of instructions to Huo Xi and Yang Fu, she hurried out the door with her lunch box.
"Mom, hire a car and go there, don't walk!"
"Hey, I got it."
Normally Yang would be reluctant to hire a car, but Nian'er hadn't nursed for a day, so she didn't know whether she would be in a panic or not, and she felt very anxious.
After dinner, Yang Fu took over the cleaning work, and Huo Xi sat in the courtyard thinking about today's events.
I bumped into Sun's mother today. Although her suspicions were relieved by a quick wit, she still couldn't take it lightly. She would still have to make some disguises in the future.
Although there probably aren't many people who know the inside story, I'm sure there are some people who are so heartless that they have some nefarious ideas.
Mother Sun... Huo Xi clenched her fists tightly.
One day I will make you pay the price!
I was spied on by this old woman today, so I couldn't do anything. Otherwise, I would feel panicked.
It was not easy to meet Mama Sun, and even if she did meet, it would be difficult to confront her face to face. She remembered that Mama Sun seemed to have a whole family of servants in the Zhang family. Was her man helping the Wang family to manage the shop or managing the village?
She seems to have another daughter, and her son-in-law seems to be from the family as well. She also has an only son, I don’t remember whether she is married or not.
You need to think about it carefully and get rid of this depression in your heart.
And the wet nurse...
I don’t know whether he is dead or alive. If the nanny hadn’t been so alert, she and Nian’er might not be alive anymore.
Yang Fu came out after washing the dishes and saw Huo Xi huddled up with her head buried in her knees. Her helpless look made people feel heartbroken.
Yang Fu didn't dare to step forward and just stood blankly at the door of the kitchen, watching.
After a long while, Huo Xi felt that her body was numb, and then she stood up. When she turned around, she saw Yang Fu standing there blankly.
"uncle……"
"Ah? Ah, I just finished cleaning up the kitchen."
"Wow, Mom will be very happy when she comes back."
"Yes, my sister must be very happy." After a pause, "Xi'er, let's go take stock of the goods?"
"OK."
Yang Fu let out a sigh of relief and took her to the warehouse to count the things. When she came out, she also counted the things on the cart.
Today, we sold nearly four stones of cane sugar in one day! The consumption power of this outer city is not weak.
"There are several shops that sell goods of tens of kilograms, but ordinary people only buy small quantities."
"Although ordinary people want a small amount, they can't handle the large number of people." Yang Fu looked happy.
"And we sold so much in one day. Even if we don't need to sell twenty stones, it will be sold out. Besides, it won't melt if left in the winter."
Huo Xi nodded. In addition to worrying about this batch of cane sugar, she was also worried about the cart of leather goods.
Not many leather goods were sold today, only seven or eight pieces were sold, and one-tenth of the cost was not recovered.
Do you want to take it into the inner city and sell it?
No, no, she doesn't want to go into the inner city now.
"Xi'er, don't worry, maybe it will be easier to sell when the weather gets colder." After a day of hot selling, Yang Fu was no longer worried.
"Look at our linen, it will be gone after just a few days of sale. The cotton will turn yellow after being stored for a long time, but our linen is not afraid of being put away. I also thought that if we can't sell it, we will leave it and slowly sell it next year.
, I didn’t expect it to be so easy to sell.”
"I don't know if Brother Yu is back or not. I even want to sell his linen." Yang Fu kept talking, very happy.
Huo Xi smiled and nodded.
When linen is worn, one piece of linen can make two to two and a half sets of clothes for an adult. It costs dozens of coins to make one dress. It can be worn for a long time if it is worn out and then mended. The price is still acceptable for one cent and five cents.
In addition, many people have a complex about the distant fragrance and close smell. When they hear that the cloth comes from other places, they want to try it, so they don't have to worry about selling this batch of linen cloth.
Mrs. Yang came back with Nian'er on her back and saw the two children taking stock and thinking about how to sell it. She felt happy and relieved at the same time.
"Mom told your dad about today's sales, but your dad still complained that he didn't catch up with the lively scene."
"Dad, are you okay?" There was no way, her boat had to be guarded, otherwise it would be rowed away, and where would it be found?
"Well, he was selling goods along the river during the day and sold a lot. He also caught a lot of fish in the fishing box, and also caught some shrimps and crabs, and made them all."
"Dad, will you stop at the outer city ferry tonight?"
"No, your father said that he had invited some family members to go hunting together tonight."
"Brother-in-law wants to hunt at night? With whom? Brother Yu, the Zou family?" Yang Fu was eager to try when he heard about the night hunt.
"No, it seems that Zou Sheng's grandma has been feeling a little unwell these days, so your brother-in-law didn't call him. I heard that they were the three lone boatmen who joined Taoyedu when we went to Huai'an together. They were also planning to stop at night.
At Taoye Ferry, your brother-in-law probably wanted to make friends with them, so he made an appointment with three of their families to catch them at night, saying it was just a good time to see their character."
"Those three families are all young men. They are all from villages near Jiangning. They are all poor farmers. Their character seems to be... not bad." Huo Xi tilted her head and thought about the three families.
"That's good. Everyone in Taoyedu knows the basics. If we get mixed up with a bunch of troublemakers, it won't be good for our friendship."
"What about Brother Yu? He hasn't come back yet?" Yang Fu asked again.
"Oh, just as I was about to say that, your brother-in-law said that Yu Jiang had returned, and that he spent a few taels of silver on him to bring the three of them out. Today, he borrowed five taels of silver from your brother-in-law to buy a boat. He said
It's about the same size as our old boat. He also said that after he finishes the boat, he will come over tomorrow to get some linen to sell."
"Did you get it out?" Yang Fu's eyes widened and he grinned: "Brother Yu must be very happy!"
"That's for sure. My wife and daughter are by my side, and we have people who can talk and do things. How can I be unhappy?"
Yang was also happy for Yu Jiang and glanced at Yang Fu again: "Looking at you, it seems like you took the person out."
"Sister! Can't I be happy for Brother Yu? We are also living together as a family, and we are slowly living a better life. Brother Yu has changed to a bigger boat this time. He fishes, and there are people who help untie the fish and mend the fishing nets.
Isn’t it nice to still have people to talk to?”
"It's good, it's good. Just look at him. He is busy all year round. He is the last to go back to the ferry at night and the earliest to get up in the morning. But he doesn't have much money. He supports a whole family, but his own small family is poor.
I didn’t take care of it. I rarely even smile.”
Huo Xi recalled the image of Yu Jiang in his mind while listening.
I thought to myself that this is a conscientious person who is willing to endure hardships and is someone who can be won over to cooperate. I couldn't help but pursed my lips.
Yang took Nian'er into her room to sleep. When she came out, she saw the two children still discussing Yu Jiang, and she also echoed a few words.
"Sister, Xi'er said you were in business, this is it..." Yang Fu gave Yang a thumbs up.
When Yang saw Huo Xi giving her a thumbs up, she suddenly puffed up her chest proudly: "Although your mother is illiterate, she sells goods on the streets without any fear."
"Then when our family makes money in the future, we will open a shop and let my mother be the shopkeeper."
Yang grinned in both directions: "Shopkeeper, what's the problem?" He looked full of confidence.
"Shopkeeper? Wait, sister, please think about selling our leather goods first. I think you sold all the eight leather goods today. You should also think of something and sell the rest." Yang Fu said in excitement.
With the Yang family.
Thank you everyone. Chapter 129 has been reviewed and cannot be released. Thank you everyone for reminding me that I just saw it. I usually don’t go to the front desk to read my own posts, but I often click on it in the backend, so if you have any questions, please feel free to comment.
