Mrs. Yang was weeding in the yard and watering the vegetable seedlings with Nian'er on her back.
Hearing the knock on the door, he was stunned.
"Who?"
"Sister, it's us!"
Oh, it's Fu'er and Xi'er! Yang quickly threw down the hoe, and Dian Dian'er ran to open the door.
Pulling Huo Xi over, he looked left and right: "Why are you here today? Why did you buy so many things?" As he spoke, he helped them bring the things in.
"Go to the city to buy some things, and then see mother and Nian'er." Huo Xi looked at Nian'er on Yang's back and held his little hand.
"Mother and Nian'er are fine, don't worry about us."
Yang Fu closed the door, and together with Huo Xi, he untied Huo Nian from Yang's back, and looked at Yang's strap strangely: "Sister, when did you buy this strap?"
Huo Xi hugged Huo Nian and kissed him. Seeing his happy and lively look, she was very happy and looked at the strap.
Yang glanced at her sister and brother and said: "This sling is very convenient for carrying Nian'er, and it doesn't delay work. I have been using it to carry Nian'er around these days, and the neighbors are all here."
I figured it out. Several types of vegetables at home were given by kind-hearted neighbors."
"Aren't all the neighbors scholars? Scholars still grow vegetables?" Yang Fu was a little surprised.
"Do scholars eat the wind and drink the dew? They all bring their families or servants with them. Vegetables are grown in every yard. Even the vegetable seeds are brought from their hometown."
Yang Fu clicked his tongue several times after hearing this. It's strange that scholars also grow vegetables.
"How is your father?" Yang asked about Huo Erhuai again. She hadn't seen him for a few days and was a little uncomfortable.
"Okay. Dad also asked me to bring the money to Mom. If there weren't those cloths on the ship, I would have wanted Dad to come with us."
"Even without those things on the boat, our boat is still there. If it is rowed away, where can we find it?"
Yang said while sorting out the things brought by Huo Xi and Yang Fu, "Why did you buy so many things, including salt and sugar? What are you doing?"
Huo Xi hugged Huo Nian and sat under the eaves, watching Yang sort things out and said, "Let mother help me make some food to sell."
"Do you sell food?"
Yang Fu nodded while helping to organize, and said happily: "Sister, how much money do you think we have earned these days?"
"How much money can we earn? Our boat is bigger than others. Others can earn twenty or thirty cents per trip. It would be great if we can double or triple that. How much more can we earn."
"Sister, you wouldn't have guessed it. Not only did we do some work to make some money, we also sold a lot of wine and shrimps. In the past few days, we've earned seven taels of silver!"
"What, seven taels? How many days are it?"
Yang Fu nodded fiercely, very happy.
"Those people rented our boats to transport food and were bored sitting on the boat. When they knew we had wine, they bought some wine to drink. When we had wine, they wanted to eat some snacks to go with the wine. We only sell wine and
You can earn more from shrimps than you can from transporting grain.”
Yang was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
I thought that the floating grocery store would not be able to open these days, and everyone was taking jobs and worrying about transporting food to the north. I didn’t expect that my family could still sell wine and food while transporting food?
Yang looked at Huo Xi, and after receiving Huo Xi's affirmative answer, she pressed her chest, and her heart jumped out happily and kept beating.
"I also asked dad to go to Shuangquan Village to transport some wine tomorrow. I also look for some mid-range or above wine to buy, so I can definitely make more money."
"My God, our family has improved our lives! Mom even told your father that renting such a big yard is just a waste for me and Nian'er. I feel sorry for those three taels of silver."
Unexpectedly, in just a few days, my man and his two children made money back.
"That's good, that's good." Ms. Yang kept mumbling, her face full of joy.
"Sister, Xi'er and I bought some more seasonings. You can make some snacks to go with the wine at home. If you can't make them, use the money to buy some outside. Then we will go to Huai'an so that we can sell them on the boat for money.
."
"You don't have to go out to buy snacks to go with the wine. Xi'er, just tell mother and she will make them."
Huo Xi thought, the fried soybeans, peas, broad beans should not be difficult, Yang should be able to make them. But the other...
Then I told Mr. Yang about the snacks I wanted to make.
"Mom, if you have time every day, go to the fish market street and take a look. If there are those small whitebait, small fish larvae, and shrimps and crabs, take some back and fry some dried fish when you have time.
We can sell it too.”
"For other snacks, dried bamboo shoots and the like, if Mom doesn't know how to do it, just go to the shop and buy it, and we can make a profit on the price. Mom can also go to wine shops outside to see what they sell. Ask around outside,
Wherever you buy those snacks, the price is the same. Mom, there is no need to buy too much, let’s try to sell them first. If the sales are good, we will make plans for the future.”
Yang nodded while listening: "Okay, mother understands."
Yang was holding Nian'er in her arms, growing vegetables at home and wandering around, not knowing what to do. After listening to Huo Xi's words, she immediately knew what she should do.
She planned to go to teahouses and wine shops with Nian'er in her arms tomorrow.
Huo Xi gave all the money she earned in the past few days to Yang.
Yang held her heavy purse and sighed in her heart. When did the family have so much money in savings? Okay, that's great.
He took half of it out of his purse and said, "Mom, take half, and you take the remaining half back. You also have to buy and spend it outside."
Huo Xi put the money in her hand back into her purse and pushed the purse back to her.
"Mom, you can keep it for use. If you like something good, you still have money to buy it. Dad had a few taels left over earlier, which is enough for us to spend. Besides, I still have some money I borrowed from Manager Huo.
"
"Mom, I still have a few taels left on me."
After renting the small courtyard, there were eight taels of silver left, so they divided it into two parts. She and Huo Erhuai each took four taels, and now they gave her all the seven taels they earned.
"Your father still wants to collect wine."
"Dad won't recycle a lot. I just asked him to pick some good ones and buy a few baskets. We still have some on the boat, which is enough. No matter how much we have, we don't have to throw them away to the government officials."
As soon as Yang heard this, she put her purse away.
After hiding the purse, Huo Xi and Yang Fu happily made dinner in the small courtyard, and the three of them had a good meal.
When the news that Huo Xi had gone to the courtyard was sent back to Mu Mansion by Gan San at night, Mu Yan was still stunned.
His daily life consists of getting up early to practice martial arts, going to the Imperial College during the day, and returning home after school. His life is monotonous and boring.
But that little liar, who fished and sold fish, sold crabs and butter, and opened a floating grocery store, lived a much more interesting life than he did.
His grandfather said that he was the future Marquis of Xiping and had been given rigorous training since he was a child. But within a few years, his grandfather died.
The eldest uncle, his successor said, was the future Marquis of Xiping, and taught him step by step how to manage the Marquis's mansion... But within two years, his successor also died.
When he was a child, he was ignorant and could not remember anything, so he was taken to the southwest. Now, he is back.
In the past, everyone supported him. Now, he is nothing.
Happy holidays everyone. We are energetic young people, we are high-spirited, and we have stars and sea in our eyes~
