"Come and take a look, the delicious cakes are cheap and not expensive!"
"Tangyuan, delicious glutinous rice balls, eat a bowl of them hot, you can eat a bowl of hot dumplings for ten cents!"
"Selling flowers, selling flowers!"
The cries of vendors at the stalls by Mochou Lake are endless. There are many smart people in the world, and there are many people who take action after hearing the news.
Yang and Yang Fu couldn't keep their eyes open, looking at the milk cakes, meat cakes, hibiscus cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, sugar cakes, sugar cakes, flower cakes, glutinous rice cakes, chestnut cakes, bean cakes, cloud cakes... those
The fragrance goes straight to the nose.
After only two steps, there were all kinds of glutinous rice balls, wontons, cakes, pasta, tea, and sugar water stalls... The street was filled with the sweet and greasy smell of various soups and soups, and I almost couldn't walk.
Fortunately, the three of us came out with full stomachs, so our eyes were not glued to it.
"Xi'er, these soups and drinks are still very popular."
"No." Yang Fu also stood on tiptoe at each stall and looked up.
Looking at this popularity, the small vendors wish they had eight hands. Look at their carts, which are full of velvet flowers. No one cares about them.
Yang also looked at his cart.
Xi'er insisted on selling velvet flowers. She originally bought a large basket of various snacks and planned to boil some sugar water to sell them together. Anyway, she still had brown sugar at home. She would boil some brown sugar, distiller's grains and egg water, or boil some brown sugar.
Osmanthus glutinous rice balls are also good.
Look at the glutinous rice dumpling seller, it's extremely popular, there are several layers of people inside and outside, and the glutinous rice dumpling cooker doesn't even have time to get off the pot, a bunch of people are standing around urging him.
This business is so prosperous that it makes people jealous.
Huo Xi is also a little envious of other people's excitement.
But to make soup and water, you still have to add charcoal to the stove, and you have to push various utensils around to cook and wash them, which is too troublesome.
And the food and drink, which usually sell for five cents, will be sold for seven or eight cents at most. Can they be sold more expensively? Can they be doubled?
The common people are not stupid. Besides, look at the fierce competition.
She also looked at her cart. This was the velvet flowers that she had carefully selected after taking Yang Fu to several workshops and shops.
I pushed it all the way and no one cared.
No wonder her mother's eyes were drawn to the excitement of other people's stalls. Huo Xi pursed her lips and didn't know if the cart of velvet flowers could be sold. She also specialized in the expensive ones.
Compared to the bustling atmosphere of other stalls, this moment was a bit nerve-wracking. There was nothing I could do, this cart was all money. I couldn't stay calm.
The three of them walked through the sea of people and pushed the cart to a relatively open area.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the three of them were sweating. There were too many people. They were pushing through the crowd while walking, and they had to protect a cart full of goods.
On this first day of the ban, it is estimated that all the people in the city came out with their children and their elders.
"Xi'er, is this okay? Isn't it more popular at the food stalls?"
"No, it's so smoky over there, and the soup and water are splashed on our velvet flower. Not only will it smell like it, but it will also make it dirty."
"Okay, let's listen to Xi'er." Yang agreed.
"Mom, uncle, let's hang up the linen."
When Yang Fu heard this, he quickly lifted off the cloth covering the cart, then set up a few thick bamboo poles on both sides of the cart, and surrounded several pieces of burlap with various velvet flowers on them to form three sides.
Two lanterns were hung high on both sides.
The warm yellow candlelight shines on the small stall and on the burlap with various velvet flowers, which immediately become dazzling.
"So lovely!"
Mrs. Yang looked at it with keen eyes and wanted it so much. She wanted to keep all the goods in this cart.
A cart of velvet flowers was illuminated by the light, and no matter how softly the wind blew, the leaves and pistils on the velvet flowers trembled slightly, as if they came to life.
"Revel flowers, sell velvet flowers. Wear them on your head with splendor and splendor. In the future, you will wear colorful harems on your body. Come and take a look, these beautiful velvet flowers!" Huo Xi put her hands together around her mouth and opened her mouth.
Yang Fu and Yang Shi were stunned.
Velvet flowers, prosperity, this has a good meaning.
Yang glanced at her cart a few more times and wanted to. She moved her fingers, but after a while she couldn't sell any more, so she asked Xi'er for a few flowers to wear. It's okay to leave them alone without wearing them.
She is also a woman, who doesn't love flowers. Moreover, it is such a beautiful headdress, and it is inlaid with beads and rice beads. When it is illuminated by the light, she trembles slightly. It is very beautiful. Wearing it on her head makes her look even more feminine.
taste.
Well, I can’t watch it, otherwise I want them all.
"Come and take a look, these beautiful velvet flowers are great for wealth and prosperity." Yang also started selling them.
The carriage was decorated in a unique way, with two lanterns and a dozen, which made it look hazy and unreal from a distance, which made it more attractive to look at. Soon young women in twos and threes gathered around, and later, women gathered around.
Circle after circle of people.
Mu Yan was strolling by Mochou Lake, and when Huo Xi shouted, he heard it with the tips of his ears.
Seeing how busy she was being surrounded by people, she twitched her lips.
Velvet flowers, glory? It's a coincidence.
A fisherman doesn't sell butter or grilled shrimps, but sells velvet flowers. If you buy a velvet flower and wear it, then wealth and glory will come? Tsk...
While cursing, his steps moved uncontrollably in that direction.
"Hey, isn't that Zhang... the little lady of the Huo family? Why don't you sell bald butter anymore? What are you selling this time?" Kan Er stretched his neck.
"Ronghua." Mu Yan said calmly.
"Ah, Ronghua? Master, have you seen it?" There were several circles of people around. The master's eyes were so sharp. Kaner turned to look at him.
Mu Yan pursed his lips again.
Kan Er didn't care either. The young master was still sharp-eyed and he was just watching the fun.
I stood on tiptoe and looked around. It seemed that there was a cart of headdresses hanging on the cart, but it was not velvet flowers. There were too many people around, so it was a bit far away and I couldn't see clearly.
Forget it, these three grown men are looking at velvet flowers, who is wearing those things?
"Master, there are tourists on the lake over there. Let's go over there and see if there is a cruise ship. Let's charter one!"
Mu Yan remained motionless.
"Master?" Didn't the master come to Mochou Lake to take the night boat?
Seeing Mu Yan move, he asked anxiously: "Master, where are you going?"
Li Yi glanced at him and followed him.
Kan Er scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face. Seeing the two walking away, he quickly followed them.
After a wave of guests left, Ms. Yang touched the bulging satchel in front of her, unable to close the corners of her mouth.
A velvet flower sold for one coin was sold for two coins and there were still people vying for it. The velvet flower was only inlaid with a few rice-sized pearls. For one tael of silver, some people bought two if not enough for one.
This is much better than working hard to sell soup, boiling, washing and rinsing it. Seeing Huo Xi taking out the stock from under the cart and fastening it on the linen, he also hurried over to help.
"What do the guests want to buy? We...eh!"
Hearing Yang Fu's voice, Huo Xi also turned to look...
Huh? We know each other!
Yang also recognized it and shouted happily to Kan Er: "It's you, little master. Oh, last time you bought our butter and grilled shrimp at the pier, and helped us push the trolley.
I don’t know how to thank you!”
"I'm not a little grown-up."
Yang didn't care, in her eyes, Kan Er belonged to the official family. She talked passionately with Kan Er.
Yang Fu responded to Li Yi's questions and took him to see the goods on his cart, while Huo Xi stared at the arrogant young master. This young master from a down-to-earth family wanted to buy velvet flowers?
My head hurt, and the man had no expression at all.
I was angry. I took two steps back and moved my neck, and then I felt comfortable. I wanted to speak, but I felt that this young man didn't need velvet flowers, so I hesitated.
