The vinegar shops all use pottery jars, not vinegar baskets.
Jiang Xing took a few clean wine baskets from his winery and filled them.
Huo Xi took this opportunity to buy several clean wine baskets from him, planning to take them back to contain water and food. She also asked him for a wine basket with two ounces and a three liang.
When the wine arrived, Huo Erhuai took a look and saw that the wicker outside had not been removed and the handles on both sides were still there. It was more convenient than holding a bare wine jar.
He happily said to Jiang Xing: "Uncle, from now on all the wine my family wants will be put in wine baskets."
Jiang Xing and his son agreed and helped him push two carts to the ship.
Before leaving, Huo Xi felt that it was no longer appropriate to call Zhou Yi Uncle Zhou now, as the family was three generations old.
Besides, Huo Erhuai even called his in-laws 'uncle', so he said, "Grandpa Zhou, thank you for today. If your Zhouzhou family likes grilled shrimps, I will bring them to you next time."
Zhou Yi and his son-in-law helped carry two carts and fifty jars of wine onto the ship. They were very happy after hearing this. It was not for any other reason than that they felt that the child's thoughtfulness was admirable.
"Okay. Next time you come to buy wine, if I'm not at home, you can ask my old lady to take you there. You can go directly. My son-in-law is very easy to talk to."
Huo Erhuai thanked Jiang Zuo and Zhou Yi.
Jiang Zui saw Yang's several-month-old boy standing on the bow of the boat and greeting them. He felt that it was hard for the family, and the little boy followed the adults and drifted in the river.
Then he said: "You can just find me directly when you return to Shuangquan Village. I'm already in the workshop. Don't bother my mother-in-law to come with you."
"Thank you Uncle Jiang. I will bring grilled shrimps to my daughter next time."
"Then let me thank you, my little brother, for my daughter."
Several people said goodbye by the river.
Yang Fu rowed the boat while Huo Erhuai and Yang moved the wine and put it away: "Dad, why did you buy so much?"
Fifty jars of rice wine, five jars of fruit wine, and three jars of vinegar cost more than seventy taels.
They have only earned a little over one or two these days.
"Mom, Taoyedu alone has booked twenty tables. We can't come back to the bar tomorrow."
"But with so much, can it be sold?" Yang worried about dozens of jars of wine.
"Mom, don't worry. This wine can be stored. The longer it is stored, the more mellow it will be. Let's sell it slowly. The fishermen can't sell it. Next time I go to the city and knock on the door to sell jars one by one with my uncle, I can sell more.
silver."
When Yang Fu heard this, he nodded repeatedly at the stern of the boat: "I will help and shout."
Only then did Yang feel a little less worried.
Huo Xi hugged Nian'er and watched as the bilges were opened and filled with wine. When they couldn't hold it anymore, Yang and Huo Erhuai filled the rows along the three cabins.
His brows furrowed.
"Dad, take the boat to the shipyard tomorrow and ask the shipyard to help add some storage racks to the three cabins. Otherwise, there will be so many things and clutter placed in a mess, which will make it difficult to walk and messy."
Huo Erhuai and Yang also frowned: "Okay, your mother and I will row the boat over tomorrow to install the shelves."
This is a simple matter, just install the shelf and fix it, and it can be done in an hour or two.
The family sells goods while unloading the net, steaming and removing crabs, and making bald butter. They feel that their life is fulfilling and promising.
But the atmosphere in the Xincheng Hou Mansion was a bit strange.
Wu's father was celebrating his birthday soon, so she went to Jinxiufang to make some clothes for her father, and also wanted to get some money.
Unexpectedly, I heard the shopkeeper squeaking and saying that Wu Youcai had taken money several times. He couldn't help but get furious, and he called Wu Youcai into the house and scolded him.
Wu Youcai told the shopkeeper that he was afraid that there would be too much money in the store, so he helped him save it, but in front of his sister, he did not dare to say that.
He rolled his eyes and said: "Sister, I took those five hundred taels for management. Didn't you ask me to secretly find out the whereabouts of that scoundrel? I just got the news and was about to take the money to find out."
When Wu heard this, she straightened her body and leaned forward slightly: "Is there any news about those two? They are not dead yet?"
His eyes narrowed dangerously.
At first, Mrs. Wang was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she sent people to dismiss the servants in Zhuangzi. Unexpectedly, she gave the nanny the opportunity to smuggle the two scoundrels out secretly.
Later, when they caught her and beat her half to death, she didn't spit out her words and hid those two scoundrels somewhere.
She secretly searched for many days, but found no news at all. The two people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Could it be that someone else besides the nanny took over at that time?
Otherwise, how could a six-year-old and a pre-month-old child escape the search of the servants?
How could Wu Youcai know whether those two children were dead or not? If he got money, he would go to this building or that building. Otherwise, he would just hang out in the gambling house. How could he know whether they were dead or alive?
But can you tell this to your sister who became Mrs. Hou?
He nodded repeatedly: "I heard he is still alive. He was quietly raised by someone. I heard he appeared in the capital some time ago. I was planning to pay him to go and find out. But before I could do anything about it, I was killed by two thieves.
The purse was stolen."
It's really infuriating.
When I meet those two thieves next time, I will cut off their hand tendons and hamstrings and torture them to death.
Wu gave him a look of disdain.
I feel like I really can't count on this younger brother. But I don't want to make too much of a fuss about such a private matter.
There are not many useful people in her natal family. At present, it seems that this younger brother is the only one who can be used as a general among the dwarfs.
He took five hundred taels of silver notes from the room and handed them to him: "Take this money to manage, be sure to inquire carefully. You would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. You have to know that if you let those two scoundrels return to the house, what will happen to them?"
What's the matter with your nephew?"
Wu Youcai happily took the bank note and put it into his arms happily.
Patting his chest: "Sister, don't worry, I understand. My brother-in-law is the hereditary Marquis of Xincheng. In the future, my nephew, my nephew's son, grandson, grandson's son, and grandson's grandson will all be Marquis of Xincheng. Who dares to covet this position? I
Even if I risk my life, I will kill him!"
The Wu family doesn't have to do anything. As long as they help keep his nephew's position, generations of people can enjoy the popular food and drink spicy food of the Zhang family and walk around the capital.
Wu nodded with satisfaction at him.
I don’t believe the Wu family understands such a huge benefit. Only by relying on her can they maintain their wealth forever from generation to generation.
Wu Youcai put the banknote away and asked, "Where is my brother-in-law? Did he go to Beidi again?"
Mrs. Wu gritted her teeth, not wanting to say more, and waved to him in annoyance: "Go ahead and inquire more carefully."
"Sister, don't worry." Wu Youcai left the Hou Mansion with brisk steps.
After leaving the house, I didn’t go looking for the young lady first or was busy entering the gambling house. Instead, I seriously looked for some local gangsters and started to find out who had a six- or seven-year-old girl and a four- or five-month-old boy.
of.
Wu Youcai gave up some money and went out, but someone reported to him the families in the inner and outer cities who met these two items.
He immediately took some servants and touched it quietly.
But after searching around, nothing seemed to fit the situation. He was not discouraged and asked people to conduct private visits. He also expanded the scope to more than a dozen counties and towns on the outskirts of Beijing.
