Huo Xi also looked at the pile of things Yang bought.
Yang then said: "You don't know how easy it is to sell those things that go with wine and tea. I listened to books for an hour in the teahouse, and the plates on the table were changed seven or eight times. The stack was as high as a child's arm. A small one.
A plate of broad beans sells for five or six cents. A small plate of cake balls, only two or three yuan, sells for more than ten cents. Tsk tsk."
That broad bean is only two or three cents per kilogram, how many dishes can it hold!
And that cake is no more than two fingers wide, and one piece sells for three or four cents. God, the people in the city are so rich.
"Mom, are you buying candy to make cakes?" Her mother has turned on this skill in the past few days?
Yang sneered: "I'll just buy two kilograms of sugar and try it. Didn't we use a lot of rice to soak those silk cloths before? You don't like to eat the rice that was soaked and steamed into rice, so there is a lot left. Mother.
After drying, there is a big bag."
"My mother originally wanted to make fried rice and eat it by soaking it to satisfy her hunger. But I saw someone selling those kinds of rice cakes in a tea shop, which was easy to sell. I just wanted to buy some candies and try them out."
Mi Su? Huo Xi knows.
Expose the rice to the sun, stir-fry it first to make it swell, then boil the sugar water, put the rice krispies into the sugar water, stir to make it form a ball, take it out of the pot and put it in a container to press it, let it cool and cut it into pieces, and it's done.
She understands it, but she is often the type who knows it once she sees it and fails once she does it.
He didn’t even highlight his pastry-making skills.
He frowned and said to Ms. Yang, "Mom, I do know the steps," and explained the process again.
"Mom, you try it first. If you can't make it, it's okay. When the time comes, you can turn it into rice crackers, and you can also give it to my uncle and I as a snack."
Her family can afford that little rice now, so she doesn't feel bad about it.
Yang didn't expect Huo Xi to know how to make it, so she nodded happily: "Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. If it doesn't look good, I'll save it for you and Fu'er to eat."
Yang Fu sucked his saliva shamefully. It's great that his sister is now willing to give him food as snacks.
Huo Xi also told Yang that they would load up on food tomorrow and head north to Huai'an at Mao the day after tomorrow.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Yang was stunned and quickly stood up: "Mom, go pack your things now." She put Huo Nian into Huo Xi's hand, took Yang Fu and went to pack things.
While cleaning up, he warned Huo Xi and Yang Fu, making them feel uneasy.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu nodded in agreement to reassure her.
I quickly packed up two large backpacks and two large luggage.
"Mom bought a lot of bamboo tubes, three taels, half a catty, and one catty, for you to hold wine. I brought ten chickens and ducks for you. You won't be out for a long time this time, so everyone should bring food. Bring more.
I'm afraid that if you can't sell it, the boat will be heavy."
Huo Xi nodded.
"For snacks to go with the wine, I fried some beans, broad beans, peas, and soybeans, and gave you a bag each, enough for you to sell..."
"In the past two days, my mother collected some shrimps, crabs, and small fish at the fish market. She fried the small fish and sealed them in jars for you to take with you. The prepared shrimps and crabs are still on the boat, so I won't bring them to you...
…”
"Mom will make some dry food for you tonight. In case it's inconvenient for you to cook, there will still be dry food to eat so you don't have to go hungry."
After a long explanation, I got into the kitchen and worked until midnight, and then I finally took a rest.
The next day, Yang got up early again and called Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
"Get up quickly, don't delay today's business. Mom will rent a truck later and bring our cabin back. I don't know if your father dismantled it yesterday."
After finishing speaking, he covered his heart and shouted: "Oh, our cabin is so well built, it will be dismantled in just a few days. It will cost money to put it back. And those storage shelves. Oh, at the end of the year."
If the tax cannot be deducted, I will go to the river bank to ask for an explanation."
Huo Xi and Yang Fu were called up, washed and dressed, each carrying a basket on his back, carrying many things in his hands, and several baskets of clean water.
Yang carried Huo Nian, who was sleeping soundly, in a sling, and the group headed for the ferry.
On the way, I rented two carts and pushed them to find my own boat.
From a distance, he could see that Huo Erhuai had parked his boat at the ferry. When he saw that his boat had a bare cabin on the bow, Yang's heart ached again. She screamed ouch, ouch, ouch.
"His mother."
"Dad. Oh, our cabin." Two cabins were demolished, and they suddenly felt naked. I couldn't get used to it.
Huo Xi and Yang Fu both stared blankly for a long time.
"Don't be sad, we'll put it on again when we get back." Huo Erhuai comforted her.
"It doesn't cost anything to put it on!" Yang rolled her eyes at him. She looked at her boat again, her heart still hurt and felt regretful.
Huo Erhuai didn't know how she felt. But he could make irresponsible remarks on the official's decision? He only caressed Huo Nian, who was still sleeping soundly on Yang's back with his head tilted.
I haven't seen this boy for several days, and Huo Erhuai misses him very much.
"Give Nian'er an egg yolk to eat every day. Look for any fruits on the street and get some fruit puree to feed Nian'er."
"I know. As much as you feel sorry for me, how can I miss Nian'er's food?" Yang rolled her eyes at him.
After saying that, he greeted him and loaded the dismantled hatchboards of the two cabins onto the pallet truck.
"Oh, have you demolished all the cabins?" came a voice.
The whole family looked towards the sound.
Seeing Kan Er striding towards them, Huo Xi hurriedly explained to Yang and Huo Erhuai.
The couple timidly greeted the elegantly dressed Kan Er and thanked him and his young master for taking a fancy to their fisherman's humble food.
"The bald butter you make is delicious. Not only do we love it, but my young master and wife also praise it repeatedly."
Ouch, the guard of this wealthy family is so kind?
Huo Erhuai and Yang were very surprised, and their timidity disappeared, and they hurriedly asked Huo Xi to get on the boat to get the things.
Huo Xi took a basket and put six cans of butter and two cans of each type of shrimp in the basket.
He handed it to him: "Last time, your young master helped us promote Bald Butter in the Imperial College, and we agreed to give you a small amount of silver. This time, half a catty is still three taels of silver per jar, so the price will not be increased. It's getting cold.
, there are less crabs, and the price has gone up. Dried shrimps cost one tael per can, grilled shrimps and choked shrimps cost 2 cents per can. The total is nineteen taels."
When Yang and Huo Erhuai heard this, they swallowed nervously. Nineteen taels! Xi'er really dared to ask for it. They even said they wouldn't raise the price for three taels.
It wasn't until Kan Er handed over the silver that Yang took it in her hand, her hands trembling with excitement.
Kan Er looked at the basket full of things, took it over, and was very happy: "Thank you very much. If you eat well, I will buy from you next time."
"Okay, we'll keep them all for your young master and his wife." Yang and Huo Erhuai thanked them directly.
Kan Er nodded with satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, he paused when he saw two full trucks: "You want to transport these into the city?"
Seeing Yang and the others nodding, they said, "Let me help you."
Yang and Huo Erhuai were both shocked, what a great person this is!
The butter and shrimp are so expensive, and you don't even negotiate the price, but you still have to help them push the cart?
In an instant, the inherent image of wealthy people in the couple's minds was shattered. It turns out that wealthy people are so close to each other.
