Huo Xi's operation was witnessed by all the boatmen nearby, as well as the entire Taoyedu people.
None of the escort officers dared to look directly at each other, but he came back and forth twice, chatted with the Huo boy, and even bought food from her.
Those who didn't know the Huo family or Huo Xi secretly inquired about the Huo family and Huo Xi, and secretly lamented her methods. The boatmen in Taoyedu also felt quite complicated.
At first, everyone was the same, but who would have thought that the Huo family would soar into the sky. After making money, they bought a new boat, which was bigger than all their boats, and they also opened a floating grocery store. Everyone felt guilty.
acid.
There are many people who secretly compete and want to catch up.
But this time, it turned out that the Huo family was the first to get the information that the fishermen were being drafted, so everyone made preparations. This time, they made the bow of the B-zi, and in the blink of an eye they were on the line with the escort officer again.
And they didn't even dare to look at the escort, let alone strike up a conversation.
Seeing how Huo Xi from the Huo family calls the escort officer brother and sells food, it is not unreasonable for him to succeed in Taoye Ferry with his courage and methods.
Mrs. Sun felt even more sour in her heart. When her two sons finished their lunch, she saw that her younger son was eating tasteless and disliked the food she cooked, so she gave him a few hard blows.
"If you have the courage of Huo Xi, I will cook meat for you every day! Mom still doesn't do anything, and your father and you will serve you!" If you dare to dislike me if you don't have the ability, why don't you go to heaven!
After saying that, he put away the food box and returned to the boat with Qian Sanduo.
Yu Jiang ate all the food in the withered lotus leaf bag, and became even more determined to follow the Huo family. When he arrived in Huai'an, he followed Huo Xi, helping him and giving him advice on what to buy.
Some goods from the North will be transported back to the capital and sold for money.
Regardless of whether he could make money or not, he decided to change to a larger boat to take out his wife and daughter who had been tortured at the hands of his stepmother.
Even if you borrow money from the Huo family, you still have to get a bigger boat.
From now on, he and his wife can catch more fish together and be more frugal, and they can always make money.
Zou Sheng's grandparents also looked at the Huo family while eating, and told their grandson Zou Sheng to follow Huo Xixi in the future. After many things, the two old people knew about the changes in the Huo family, so they started by taking Huo Xi back to the ship.
That child is different from others. She is more knowledgeable than her parents.
Some people are born with prosperity in their lives. Anyone who is close to her will be blessed.
Huo Xi didn't know what other people were thinking. After selling the food, he gave the money to Huo Erhuai and took Yang Fu to check out the food on the ship and think about the dinner for the night.
Mrs. Yang asked them to bring ten chickens and ducks each, but they only chopped two for lunch, and there were still more. So she felt relieved.
Two quarters of an hour later, the fleet set sail again.
Huo Xi slept in the cabin for a while, and Yang Fu went to the bow of the ship to change hands with Huo Erhuai. Huo Erhuai also took the opportunity to relax for a while.
After Huo Xi got up, she stood on the bow of the boat and watched the fleet of boats meandering forward for a while. Seeing that it was still early, she said, "Uncle, let's fish."
"Okay."
The two took out fishing hooks and tied fishing lines, found some scraps from chickens and ducks, mixed some rice grains to make bait, took out the bamboo poles and tied a few lines, and then threw them into the river.
When Qian Xiaoxia saw him, he also fished with him. They grew up on the river, who doesn’t know how to catch a fish?
I don't dare to hook up with the escort officer. I can't catch fish in the river as well as Huo Xi and Yang Fu?
I was very suffocated.
Sure enough, after only an hour, Qian Xiaoxia was proudly showing off the fish he caught to Huo Xi and Yang Fu.
"Are you tired of eating fish? Give it to us. We'll take care of your dinner later." Huo Xi raised her voice to him.
Qian Xiaoxia nodded happily: "Okay! I've caught a lot, and I'll prepare a portion for my brother if he needs it."
"OK."
Seeing that Huo Xi agreed, Qian Xiaoxia happily climbed onto Yujiang's boat, and then climbed from Yujiang's boat to the Huo family's boat.
"Since you're here, just stay and help." Such a laborer has come here, how can we let him go?
Qian Xiaoxia was also willing to stay on the Huo family's boat, so he stayed to help.
Huo Xi directed Qian Xiaoxia and Yang Fu to work, and she began to prepare dinner.
"Are you preparing so much food?" Qian Xiaoxia was very surprised.
"That's right. Otherwise, how can we sell it for money?"
Qian Xiaoxia opened his mouth wide and looked at Yang Fu and Huo Xi. With such thorough preparations, he had already thought of selling food along the way, right? Look at their cabin, they even have wine.
What a thief, I didn't tell him a word, I would have known that he and his brother were also transporting some things to sell.
"Don't look at me like that. It's like I'm secretly making money without telling you. Don't tell me that your father and mother didn't hide anything on the ship." Yang Fu snorted at him.
Qian Xiaoxia choked. His mother had indeed brought a lot of things, and she almost couldn't even load them with food. She had to smuggle some more and put them on his and his brother's boat.
"Besides, even if you are just doing food, do you have the guts to yell at the escort officer?"
When Qian Xiaoxia heard this, he shook his head in frustration. He didn't dare because his legs were weak.
They were all wearing armor and had swords on their waists. He was afraid.
Huo Xi smiled, so even if you have an idea, you can start a business. You must have courage and courage, as well as the means and resources.
He ordered them to remove the scales, guts and guts of the fish caught today, clean it up, and then fry it in the fishing pot!
The aroma stirred up by the hot oil immediately spread far and wide.
The boatmen who had been rowing all day had their stomachs growling again, and they all swallowed at the aroma of oil floating over them.
They all raised their heads to look at the sky. The sky was already hazy and yellow. We should be told to take a break, right? We couldn't light up the lights at night and rush on our way, right?
The river is so dark at night that you can't see anywhere. You don't have to be knocked over in the river.
Huo Xi deep-fried all the dozen or so palm-sized fish, fished them out again, and used the remaining oil to cook the sauce. When the sweet and sour sauce was spread again, Qian Xiaoxia immediately swallowed it shamefully.
Saliva, stating that he also wants to eat fish at night.
Normally I would almost vomit after eating fish, but now I was extremely eager to take another bite.
Huo Xi nodded in agreement. Anyway, she steamed a lot of chicken and duck meat, plus there were fish and shrimp, which was enough to make a difference. Huo Xi poured the sauce from the hot pot onto the fish and made a sizzling sound.
Then he took out the three steamed chickens and ducks and waited for them to cool down before heating up the pot to stir-fry the vegetables. Then he put them in a big basin and let the escorting officers and soldiers divide them among themselves.
After the vegetables are fried, put them in a basin. Let the chickens and ducks cool down and then put them on the chopping board and cut them into pieces.
When everything was ready, He Feng came over in a small boat and told the boat to stop and rest.
Then he rowed the boat in front of the Huo family's boat, took several large bowls of food, and handed Huo Xi a tael of silver.
Huo Xi hurriedly asked Yang Fu to hand him the prepared basket of wine: "Brother He, this jar of wine is for you to drink."
He Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, did the Huo family bring wine?
I didn't hesitate and took it.
He didn't give her any more money, just nodded to her and left by boat.
