In the next few days, Huo Xi and Yang Fu began delivering goods to the homes of those who placed orders.
Of course, there are also orders that are lost, either because they don’t acknowledge it, or with various excuses. Huo Xi smiled and said that he remembered it wrong and didn’t care.
The demand is strong, and she is not worried about not being able to sell it. People are rushing to get it even if the price is increased.
By the morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, except for the small crabs that were less than two taels, all the rest were cleared out. Even the large crabs that had been raised for a few days and were more than four taels were sold at high prices.
Yang Fu was so happy that he didn't even want to walk properly. He insisted on jumping around. Now he was finally in the mood to see the excitement of the inner city.
Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. After a bloodbath, the capital city is already bursting with new vitality.
Since the Yan army entered the city in June and the new emperor ascended the throne in July, although the court was still turbulent and turbulent, the festive atmosphere inside and outside the capital had been created to be festive and lively.
The common people did not care about the change of imperial power. As long as they did not fight and had food and drink, they felt that their lives were stable.
Xu was the first festival celebrated by the people after the new emperor entered the capital. Golden chrysanthemums bloomed in full bloom on the north and south imperial roads in the inner city, and the city was covered in golden armor.
The streets are crowded with pedestrians and noisy.
A sign of prosperity and prosperity.
After selling crabs, Huo Xi and Yang Fu felt relaxed. After shopping around, they found an inconspicuous tea shop in the inner city to rest and listen to some news and gossip.
After sitting there for half an hour, Huo Xi came out.
Seeing her wilted head and drooping brain, Yang Fu just thought she was worried about today's tea money: "Today's tea money is twice as much as last time! One tael of tea foam can make several large pots of tea. It's really evil. Next time
We won’t have tea there.”
Huo Xi turned a deaf ear and walked heavily.
He's back. He's back from the North.
Isn't he stationed in Yandi? During the Battle of Jingnan, I heard that he fought bravely, served as the vanguard of the Yan army, captured the nine gates of Peiping, and defeated the commander of the southern army. He and I are good at fighting and planning. Now I heard that he has been promoted to
They all command everything.
Why did you come back suddenly?
Yuan's wife passed away and never came back, but now she is coming back. To celebrate the first birthday of his concubine's eldest son? A big banquet for guests?
Oh, I forgot that the eldest son of the concubine has become the eldest son in the blink of an eye. The first birthday of the eldest son of the Xincheng Marquis Mansion, the future Xincheng Marquis, should be celebrated in a big way.
But, why can't I breathe?
"Xi'er, Xi'er? What's wrong with you?"
"Maybe I'm too tired. I'll sit down and take a breath."
When Yang Fu heard this, he helped her sit down on the weeds by the roadside with a nervous expression, touched her forehead and pinched her arms and legs.
Huo Xidu followed him, biting her lip and saying nothing, feeling an undercurrent rising in her heart.
Yang Fu spun around anxiously, "How about uncle carry you to the hospital to see the doctor?" Could it be that the illness last time was not completely cured?
Huo Xi shook her head. She rested for a while, then grabbed his hand and stood up, smiling at him.
The smile was uglier than the cry. Yang Fu looked her over and suddenly squatted in front of her: "Come up, uncle will carry you back."
Huo Xi refused, but she couldn't resist him in the end. She let him carry her for a while, and when she saw that his steps were stumbling, she calmed down, got off his back, and let him lead her back to her awning boat.
After hearing what Yang Fu said, Yang and Huo Erhuai were extremely anxious and wanted to take her to the hospital to see a doctor. The child was probably very tired these days.
Huo Xi didn't want them to worry, so she just comforted them and said it would be fine if they had a good sleep. She also said that she wanted to calculate the money earned in the past few days and asked Yang Fu to count the money earned today.
Seeing that her expression was normal, the couple felt a little relieved and continued to count the coins.
With this count, I found that the previous two and a half taels, plus the three taels for selling the bracelets, turned into thirty-two taels in a few days!
The couple and Yang Fu looked in disbelief, "There are so many?"
Huo Xi nodded, "It's not all earned from collecting crabs. Some of it is earned by dad fishing for crabs these days. Dad hasn't fished for fish these days, only crabs. Some of it is money from others' rewards.
"So, thirty-two taels is not much.
Why not more!
Yang and Huo Erhuai have been saving for so many years, but they have never seen so much money.
"Did we really earn this?" A family was sitting around in the cabin. In a small circle in the middle, there was a pile of broken silver and copper plates.
Huo Xi smiled: "Mom, you and dad have counted them several times, and there are still some fake ones."
"Dad, pinch me."
Huo Erhuai really pinched her hard, and Yang let out a cry, complaining that he was using too much force, while staring happily at the pile of money, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.
Started to talk: "I will go to the village to buy two acres of land for six taels and build a big vegetable garden. I will build a mud house with fifteen taels so that we can stay warm in the winter. I will use the two taels to add some belongings."
, repair one or two boats..."
Yang Fu then moved the money: "I will buy another pair of silver bracelets for my sister with five taels, and one for Xi'er..."
Huo Erhuai looked at it with a smile, feeling that good times were coming. He had made more in the past few days than he had made in ten years.
Yang was disrupted by Yang Fu and suddenly stopped.
He put the money together again and pushed it to Huo Xi: "Xi'er, I'll give it all to you. You earned this money and it's up to you to distribute it. Our family will use it how you want it to be used."
Yang looked at Huo Xi with stars in her eyes. This child was indeed different from them. In just a few days, they made money that they could not earn in ten years.
Huo Erhuai also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, your mother is right, Xi'er has the final say on the money."
Huo Xi shook her head: "Father, mother, do what you want. I have no objection."
Seeing Huo Xiyan, the couple looked at each other and then at Yang Fu, who looked innocent.
Seeing that she didn't express her position, she had no choice but to say: "Then my parents will keep the money first. If Xi'er has any ideas or wants to do something, just tell her parents. They will do anything they want."
"Thank you, dad, mom."
Huo Erhuai glanced at her and suggested: "Everyone has worked hard these days, especially Xi'er and Fu'er. They have to walk around the streets and alleys without rest. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, so let's take the opportunity to have a rest."
How about we also take advantage of the scenery and climb up? Let's go to Qixia Mountain early in the morning. Didn't it say 'Qixia Holy Land in Autumn', let's go there too."
Yang responded immediately, and Yang Fu was so anxious that he folded his legs and sat down on his knees, shouting that he wished he could clean up now.
Huo Xi shook her head: "Dad, I want to go to the inner city tomorrow. I heard that there is a prince's house, and they will hold a birthday party for their son tomorrow, and there will be a big banquet for guests. I heard that the wedding money that will be exchanged tomorrow will be more than ten baskets."
"Yes, I heard it too!"
Yang Fu scratched his head and remembered the news he heard at the tea shop. Did Xi'er originally want to pick up the wedding coins? He must accompany him. Otherwise, Xi'er's small body might be taken away in one round.
People pushed to the ground and were stepped on.
"Everyone who got the news rushed over and made a fuss. How much wedding money can you pick up? Let's not go. Tomorrow we will climb Qixia Mountain. Your brother-in-law has not said in ten years that he will take us out for a walk. Let's go tomorrow
The whole family is going up high."
Huo Erhuai saw that Huo Xi lowered his head and said nothing, and looked at Yang: "If the children want to watch the fun, let them go. We will go to Qixia Mountain next time. There are probably many people climbing up tomorrow, so we won't crowd with them."
Mr. Yang pinched him, saying it was you who said he was going, and it was you who said he couldn't go.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I'll take Xi'er to the city tomorrow to watch the fun. I'm also very happy."
