The family was shocked after checking this morning's earnings.
"I didn't expect that we made a lot today. More than three taels!"
"Aunt Guan probably earns most of it from those pieces of cotton. She earns less from vegetables, eggs, firewood, and straw."
"In addition to the money I earn from cotton cloth, I also earn one tael from other things. If I can earn one tael a day, we can buy two or three acres of good land next month!" Mr. Yang is now focusing on buying land. If he buys four more acres, he can make up one tael.
It’s great!
After lunch, Yu Jiang's wife Zheng and her two children came to pick up cloth.
"Where's your dad?"
Xiao Miaoer was very happy to see Huo Xi: "My father is guarding the ship!"
"Your father is guarding the boat?" Well, there needs to be someone to guard it. His family has bought a bigger boat and probably bought some belongings, but it's not easy to have someone help look after it all the time.
"Sister Xi'er, my family can sell cloth for a few more days. I really like selling goods!"
"Ah, why?"
Xiao Miao'er then approached Huo Xi's ear mysteriously: "The Zou family wants to give his family's linen to my family. His family has more linen than mine!"
Ah, the Zou family no longer sells linen? Do you want to exchange the cloth for Yu Jiang?
When Mrs. Zheng saw both Huo Xi and Mrs. Yang looking at her, she nodded: "The grandma of the Zou family is still in the hospital. Zou Sheng has gone to the city to take care of her. The grandpa of the Zou family said that he would give the linen to my family so that he can get money for her medical treatment."
.”
Yang sighed: "It seems that his family has lost all their savings. Erhuai said that all the money his family earned from hunting the night before was thrown in, and he even borrowed some from my family."
Mrs. Zheng and I were very moved.
"Before, when the child's father did not come to pick us up, our mother and I were sick. We didn't dare to say a word, so we just carried it without even having half a copper in our hands. Her mother held the money and didn't give it to her. Poor people really have nothing to offer.
You must not get sick. It's okay if you can handle it, but if you can't..."
Yang also went through this stage and understands it very well.
"It's fine now. Your family is all together. As long as you work harder, life will go on."
Ms. Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, last night the two children and their father went down the net to catch fish. They couldn't even see their fingers when they stretched out their hands and refused to rest. Even the bones of the fish tasted delicious when they ate the fish they caught."
Xiao Miaoer immediately responded: "Fishing is fun!"
Then she went to pull Huo Xi: "Sister Xi'er, I like fishing so much! I dropped the net like this... swish, and then pulled it up again. There were so many fish on it! They were all alive and kicking. I wasn't even afraid, and even helped to untie the fish.
, it’s so fun!”
"My dad also said that he would help my sister and I make a fishing rod today, so that we can fish on the boat later. When I catch the fish, I can sell it for money!"
This little girl's words are full of joy, she seems to really enjoy being a little fisher girl.
"Are you and your sister getting used to it? Can you sleep? Don't you feel swaying or seasick?"
"No, my sister, my mother, and I slept soundly, and we didn't get seasick at all!"
Is this adaptability so good?
It seems that she is made to be a little fisher girl.
After talking, the two families packed up the goods and pushed the cart towards Mochou Lake.
"Sister Xi'er, why do you paint your face black?"
Well……
"I'm afraid of being kidnapped. What if my mother is too busy to take care of me and I get taken away? If I sell it, I can get a lot of money."
Xiao Miaoer trembled in fear: "Then I will also wipe it black, and my sister will wipe it too!"
She didn't want to be taken away by a kidnapper! She was finally picked up by her father. She liked her family's boat so much that she didn't want to leave her parents.
Lowering his head to look for the black mud, Huo Xi saw that he had deceived Xiao Miao'er. He was so embarrassed that he grabbed her and grabbed her while she was looking around for the black mud.
"My sister lied to you. Do you think my sister looks very white?"
Xiao Miaoer stared at her face again and again. It was not white at all now, but it was very white before. She blinked and nodded.
"That's right. We are fishermen, aren't we? We told the buyers that we usually fish, so we only sell this one time, but we look too fair and don't look like fishermen who are tanned every day.
Really? What if someone says we lied to them and doesn’t buy it?”
Xiao Miao'er looked at her and then turned to look at Yang Fu. Well, uncle Yang Fu looks like a fisherman boy, but sister Xi'er doesn't.
"Then my sister and I don't need to paint. My sister and I are not fair at all. We are just fishermen's ladies!" She shook her head happily.
Huo Xi breathed out a sigh of relief and nodded. After thinking about it, she shook her head again: "Xiao Miao'er and your sister are not bad. Just cover it up and it will come back in vain."
"It doesn't matter if it's not in vain. I want to be a woman who is very good at fishing! I don't want it to be in vain." Hearing that there was no need to apply black mud, he jumped forward and ran forward.
Everyone laughed when they saw it. Yang glanced at Huo Xi and sighed.
If we sell out early, we will try not to come to the city as much as possible.
Just let Xi'er stay on the boat. When the weather gets cold, let her stay in the courtyard on Qionghua Lane.
The two families pushed the cart to the place where they sold their goods yesterday, and they were still next to each other.
Since he owed so many favors anyway, he didn't care if he owed one more favor, so Yu Jiang asked Zheng to stay with the Huo family.
Yang and others did not feel that they were being robbed of business. On the contrary, the stall became larger and attracted many customers.
The cart stopped, and just as Yang Fu was about to shout, Xiao Miaoer ran to occupy the large stone and stood on it.
He put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Come and take a look. These are cheap and durable sacks. Don't miss them when you pass by!"
Yang Fu laughed, this little girl worked harder than him. Seeing that Yu Jiang didn't come, he went over to help Zheng.
The two families began to sell goods.
Today, Ms. Zheng is more relaxed than yesterday. With her husband not coming, the burden of the family suddenly falls on her, and she also takes the initiative to attract guests.
"Yes, that's it. You did a good job. We don't know each other, so it doesn't matter whether others laugh at them or roll their eyes and curse them. We sell goods seriously and don't cheat or rob. We make money.
It's our own, we have money in our pockets, and we're happy spending it, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Yang took the opportunity to say a few words to her.
Mrs. Zheng nodded after hearing this. Following Yang's example, she became more open-minded and her voice became a little higher.
Even Ya'er and Ya'er helped to attract customers. They also helped to collect goods and collect money. They were so busy that they couldn't rest.
The little girl has nimble hands and feet, and is delicate and frail. She is quite sympathetic, but she also attracted many people and sold a lot of goods in a short time.
Huo Xi turned to look at her, and saw that she had lost her timidity. The corners of her mouth were raised, and she smiled at every visitor. She felt quite emotional in her heart. Yesterday, when she saw people, she kept her head down, not daring to raise her eyes to look at them.
The two families sold it for another two days.
The Huo family's more than 1,300 pieces of linen were sold out.
The pear and jujube preserves were all sold out, except for keeping some for myself and giving away. Brown sugar was sold in several large quantities to some dessert shops, and only three stones were left.
If Yang hadn't wanted to keep some and sell them to women making a living on the water, Huo Xi could have sold them all to the shop owners.
There was also the cart of leather goods. Qionghua Alley asked for a small half. Wen Xun, a scholar who lived in a nearby alley, came and bought a small half. He sold more than half at the Mochou Lake, leaving about ten horses, but Huo Xi refused to sell them.
.
He said he would keep it for his own use, which made Yang's meat hurt so much.
If he sold it for money, he would have more than ten taels of silver. But the child said he would keep it for his family.
But thinking about Huo Xi's filial piety, her heart felt sweet, so she didn't speak.
After selling the goods brought from Huai'an, Huo Xi began to think about other things.
