The next day, as soon as Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu left, Sister Mei quickly fried a dozen pieces of glutinous rice cakes. Li Xiaonan carried the glutinous rice cakes, pen and ink cartridges and folded thick rice paper on her back, and went out to the teahouse to call Awu and Wang Yuting.<
/p>
The waiter at the tea house was sweeping the house and directed Li Xiaonan to go around to the corner door.
Entering through the corner door, there is a row of back rooms. Opposite the corner door, there is a brand new bamboo fence at the door of the two innermost rooms. Li Xiaonan went straight to the bamboo fence, pushed the door open and stretched her head.
A Wu and Wang Yuting were sitting in the yard about a foot wide outside the door eating.
"We are just eating now, the sun has already risen above our heads." Li Xiaonan entered the small courtyard.
"Where is the sun above your head?" Ah Wu pointed upwards with his chopsticks, scolded Li Xiaonan, and then drank the vegetable porridge.
"Would you like some more? This meal was cooked in the big kitchen in front, and it tastes very good." Wang Yuting asked Li Xiaonan with a smile.
"I've finished eating. You guys eat quickly. Guo Alley has an early market. If it's late, it'll be too late." Li Xiaonan stood beside her and motioned for the two of them to eat quickly.
"How can anyone urge people to eat like this? The emperor still has hungry soldiers." A Wu rolled his eyes at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan ignored her.
Ah Wu and Wang Yuting were much faster. After eating, Ah Wu sent the bowls and chopsticks to the front, and Wang Yuting filled a leather bag with water, locked the door and came out.
After leaving the corner gate, Li Xiaonan saw Ah Wu and Wang Yuting following her on the left and right, looking like they were preparing to go on their way, so she stopped and asked, "Where's the horse?"
"Just the two of us, no need for horses." A Wu clasped his fists on his chest and looked at Li Xiaonan.
"How can you go to the market and ride a horse? Horses are very expensive." Wang Yuting said with a smile.
"How do you and your two horses calculate the wages, food, accommodation and wages?" Li Xiaonan also crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the two of them.
"Both food and accommodation are in the tea house, including people and horses, and wages are not mentioned." Awu answered simply and straightforwardly.
"I paid for the copper coins you eat and live in the tea house, including the horses and men! If you are unwilling to use the horses, I will not provide the copper coins for raising the horses. You can find a way to raise your own."
Horse." Li Xiaonan raised her chin and looked at Wang Yuting and A Wu.
Ah Wu glared at Li Xiaonan. Wang Yuting looked at Ah Wu and then at Li Xiaonan. Just as he was about to speak, Ah Wu stamped his foot and said, "I'll go ask!"
After a while, Ah Wu came back dejectedly. Instead of looking at Li Xiaonan, he looked at Wang Yuting and said: "You guys go to the front and wait, I will lead the horse."
Li Xiaonan and Wang Yuting arrived at Guoxiang Town in a short time.
Still in the open space outside the town, the three people got off their horses. Li Xiaonan untied the baggage, stuffed the bag of glutinous rice cakes into Wang Yuting's arms, shook out the thick rice paper, motioned to Ah Wu to carry it, and took out the pen and ink box.
"What are you going to do?" Ah Wu and Wang Yuting stretched their heads to see Li Xiaonan busy.
"Write a notice and ride on a horse." Li Xiaonan replied.
A Wu burst out laughing, and Wang Yuting also laughed.
"My little lady, do you think everyone is as literate and polite as you are?" Ah Wu said with a smile.
Li Xiaonan froze.
But no, she neglected it again. The literacy rate in this place is extremely low!
Wang Yuting looked at Li Xiaonan who looked like a deflated water bag, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to write? What business do you want to do?"
"I want to collect fine cloth at a high price." Li Xiaonan said weakly.
"There's no fine cloth here!" Ah Wu was still laughing.
"I don't know. It's not to collect fine cloth. I'm...well, I can't tell you clearly. I just want everyone to know that there are people who collect fine cloth at high prices. They collect it at any time and all year round."
Li Xiaonan took the rough leaflet and turned it back dejectedly.
Li Xiaonan was in a depressed mood, but Ah Wu's mood improved. He said with a low voice and said with a smile: "You are almost like escorting us escorts."
"Huh?" Li Xiaonan glared at Ah Wu, "How do you pick up the escort?"
"Find a few inns and leave a message. If someone is looking for an escort and it's urgent, the innkeeper will send someone to call us. If it's not urgent, just wait for us to get there. Anyway, we will be there in three to five days.
Take a walk."
Li Xiaonan's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is a good idea! Let's go find an inn and ask."
"Isn't it appropriate for you to collect the fine cloth and go to the inn?" Wang Yuting followed Li Xiaonan.
"Yes!" Li Xiaonan paused, but Wang Yuting did not stop him. The collision made Li Xiaonan stumble. Li Xiaonan turned around and looked at Wang Yuting, her eyes bright, "I got this fine cloth from girls and wives. They go to the most places.
Where is it? A sewing shop?"
"I only go to the sewing shop a few times a year, but a needle can be used for several years. The place where I go to the market the most is the grocery store, which is indispensable for soy sauce, vinegar and salt." Wang Yuting said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Li Xiaonan nodded repeatedly.
But no, she has been to the county town several times with the eldest sister, and the place where the eldest sister goes every time is the grocery store.
"Let's discuss how to get the grocery store to be willing to help us collect fine cloth, and we have to make them work hard. Commission is the best way. How much should we pay them for a piece of cloth? Also, let's come here every few days.
?" Li Xiaonan looked at the two of them and discussed with bright eyes.
"How much does a piece of fine cloth cost you..."
Before Ah Wu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Wang Yuting, "I just remembered that I forgot to tell Ah Wu something important, just a few words!"
Wang Yuting said as he pushed Awu aside.
"What's the matter?" After walking out two or three feet away, Awu glanced at Li Xiaonan, who was looking at the two of them with her hands on her hips, and asked in a low voice.
"Didn't we agree that if we don't help her and her business fails, we can go back?" Wang Yuting glanced at Li Xiaonan and lowered his voice.
"Yes! But we can't really help if it's difficult. Look at how embarrassed she was just now. She almost cried. If we really want to stand back, how can we bear it?" Awu frowned.
"Then what will you guys do if she succeeds in her business?" Wang Yuting also frowned.
"Yes, then why did you mention the grocery store? You just said more than me." A Wu glanced sideways at Wang Yuting.
"Me!" Wang Yuting was stuck.
The two of them stared at Li Xiaonan with big eyes and looked at Li Xiaonan again. After a moment of silence, Awu frowned and asked, "You really don't want to help her? She is very good to us."
"It's not that we don't want to help. Don't you want to go back to the dock? It's a big deal over there, but here..." Wang Yuting glanced at Li Xiaonan again, "If we don't help her, won't there be no one to help her?"
"You said she is a little girl, what kind of business is she doing? She is so full that she can't support herself. Let's just tell her to stop doing this business!" Ah Wu turned around and went straight to Li Xiaonan.
"Have you two discussed it?" Li Xiaonan looked at A Wu and then at Wang Yuting.
"Your brother is a scholar. I heard that your family's preserved egg shop is very profitable. Your family is not short of money and life is easy. Why do you have to start a business? Why don't you just stay at home and be your little wife?" Ah Wu looked at it.
Li Xiaonan asked.
"Then why do you want to be a man? Why don't you just be your little lady?" Li Xiaonan asked rudely.
Ah Wu stared at Li Xiaonan for a moment, then looked at Wang Yuting, "Let's discuss it. This Guo Alley is very big, so we need to find a few more sundry shops."
