Chapter 136 The Door to the New World Opens
Some people couldn't squeeze through the Huo family's cart, so they surrounded Yu Jiang's cart next to it, thinking it belonged to the same family: "How do you sell this linen?"

Seeing that Yu Jiang and Zheng Shi were still in a daze, Huo Xi took a break from her busy schedule and responded, "One cent for one horse!"

Turning to remind him and his wife again: "Uncle Yu, Auntie, the goods are sold."

"Oh, one cent...yes, one cent and five cents."

Yu Jiang originally planned to earn less and sell it for three cents per penny. He planned to make small profits but sell more, so as to attract popularity with cheap prices.Unexpectedly, Huo Xi responded with a penny and a half, and it was not easy to set two prices with her family.

Mrs. Zheng was a little nervous and wanted to open her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, so she just echoed: "Yes, yes, one cent and five cents."

"Where is this Huizhou? The linen in Jiangnan is also very cheap. Isn't your five cents more expensive?"

Mrs. Zheng didn't know how to answer, so she couldn't help but look at her man.

Yu Jiang then said: "Huizhou is a place in the south, far away from us." After finishing speaking, he didn't know how to respond to what to say later.

The little Miaoer was jumping anxiously.

Seeing a guest turn around and leave, he was so anxious that he turned around and grabbed Huo Xi's clothes.

Huo Xi followed Yu Miao's gaze, and saw Yu Jiang and his wife standing there dumbfounded. Whenever the guest picked a stab, they would blush and feel hot, and they didn't know how to respond.

Then he walked over: "Auntie, go help my mother, I'll help Uncle Yu."

When Xiao Miaoer heard this, the corners of her mouth raised, and she pulled her sister to stand beside Huo Xi.

Huo Xi found a wooden stake and stood on it, and pulled out half of the linen.

He said to several women: "Huizhou in the south is far away from us. It takes half a month and a month just by boat. The journey is both land and water. It is not easy to transport this linen here."

"There is plenty of sunshine in the south, the hemp skin grows well, the clothes are durable, dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, and the price is not expensive. My family sold a three-board car here yesterday. Look over there, many people still didn't buy it yesterday. , Tete came and waited."

"Don't worry, it's not expensive at all, unless you have relatives in the countryside. When you visit your relatives, the weaving household in the village will allow you one or two horses. Otherwise, where can you buy such cheap cloth at the cloth shop?" ..."

Several women turned their heads to see the booming sales on the other side, touched them again, and after hearing what the little boy said, they all nodded without any hesitation, and they all wanted one or two horses.In this way, the business opened.

"Little Miaoer, collect the money!"

"Hey!" Xiao Miao'er's voice was full of joy, if there was a tail behind her, she might be able to wag it.

The little hand took over a lot of copper plates, and happily searched around his body, but he couldn't find a place to put them.

Turning her head to look, sister Xi'er was carrying a small satchel in front of her, which contained a lot of copper coins, and her eyes immediately became hot.After today, I will definitely ask my mother to imitate one!
"Father, here it is!"

"Hey, good."

Yu Jiang happily took the copper coins from his two daughters and put them in his arms.This day was really an eye-opener. It turns out that this is how the goods are sold.

Ya'er lost a little bit of timidity, imitating Huo Xi, and began to greet the guests.

Little Miao'er ran to Yang Fu's side, imitating him and put his hands to his mouth: "Come and see, here is durable linen, it's cheap and good, it's pretty and not expensive..."

Yang Fu was taken aback.

This little girl can do it.I learned quite a lot.

And maybe the little girl is petite and cute, with a clear and soft voice, which has attracted many people who swim in the lake.

So, Xiao Miaoer yelled even harder.

Yu Jiang and Zheng Shi looked at their youngest daughter, they were stunned for a while, then shook their heads and laughed, and soon immersed themselves in selling goods.

If it is said that Yu Jiang's side has opened his eyes, then Zheng's side has opened up a new world.

Didn't the child's father say that the Huo family has been fishing on the water for ten years?This seller is so quick-spoken, so the family is a merchant, right?

At first they only wanted to buy one horse, but after listening to Mrs. Yang's talk, they ended up carrying five or six horses on their shoulders.

Originally, I only wanted to buy linen, but in the end I asked for brown sugar, candied pears and dates, and leather goods.

"Yesterday you bought brown sugar, so did you boil it with distiller's grains and eggs this morning as I said?... Cooked? That's good. How about it, is it warm in your stomach? I'm not lying... We are doing business seriously, and we hope that you will come back to us to buy goods later, how can you talk nonsense, right? We are all women, why bother to bully our own people, don’t you think so?”

"...Then you have to buy more and put it away. My family is also lucky this year. Next year, the ship will not be requisitioned. If it is bought by other merchants, there will be no brown sugar for sale! Buy more and go back and put it away. It's cold this winter. It won't melt if left alone... My family only fishes, and when it's sold out, it will be sold out, and there won't be any more..."

Zheng watched helplessly as a group of women bought more brown sugar after listening to Yang's words.I can't get back to God for a long time.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang couldn't do it all by herself, she also concentrated on helping her.The ears are pricked up, but the head is still numb and unable to keep up.

"Fu'er, go home and get some candy!"

"Hey, let's go!"

Mrs. Zheng watched Yang Fu run away until he couldn't see anyone.How long has it been since the half-truck pile of brown sugar has been sold out?
I was distracted to look at my own cart, and I was very happy to see that the tall cart had gone down a lot.

He also began to imitate Yang's appearance, opening his mouth to greet the guests.

He couldn't speak, so he just repeated Yang's words, from a small voice to a loud voice, from blushing to smooth speaking, and he looked good all afternoon.

At sunset, the two families sold out all the items on the cart and closed the stall.

"Let's return the cart and go back to the ferry. The Zou family is helping to watch over our boat, so it's not good for them to stay for too long." Yu Jiang thanked Yang Shi again and again, and was about to lead the family back to his boat.

"His family didn't fish today?"

"Grandma Zou is not feeling well. Grandpa Zou took her into the city to see a doctor, and Zou Sheng watched the boat at the ferry in the outer city."

"Then bring one for my family. Oh, I forgot to leave a few packets of candied brown sugar for her family." Yang was a little annoyed.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang wanted Yang Fu to pick it up, Huo Xi said: "Mother, when Dad leaves later, let's ask Dad to take it again."

"That's fine too."

The two families planned to separate, but Xiao Miao'er dragged Huo Xi: "Sister Xi'er, I will come to sell goods with you tomorrow."

"Okay. Xiao Miao'er performed so well today and brought many customers to our two families. It is worthy of praise. If it is like today, your family will be able to sell out the linen in two days." Huo Xi praised her.

Xiao Miao'er proudly puffed out her chest. Sister Xi'er said that she deserved a lot of credit today!

She loves selling.Sell ​​goods with sister Xi'er.

It's all my father's fault for not coming to pick them up until now.

Yu Jiang looked at his little daughter pouting and accusing him, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

He stroked her head: "Your sister Xi'er is right, if Miao'er hadn't followed suit today, she wouldn't have attracted so many guests."

Seeing that Yu Jiang didn't understand, Xiao Miao'er pouted and stomped her feet: "It's all my father's fault, he only came to pick us up now! Wouldn't it be better if he picked us up on the boat earlier?"

Everyone laughed.

Yu Jiang rubbed his nose: "Then our house didn't have any goods for sale earlier."

"Then it's fine to go fishing." It's all my father's fault.

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Huo Xi: "Sister Xi'er, next time our two families will catch up at night together next time? We can earn copper coins, a lot of copper coins."

Turning his head to look at his father's bulging chest, he pursed his lips and snickered.

Huo Xi also winked at her, and nodded in agreement.

The two families made an appointment to pick up the linen tomorrow, and they parted at the intersection.

Little Miaoer jumped up and down, first took Yu Jiang's hand, then broke free, ran forward a few steps happily, turned back again, tilted her head to look at her father, then at her mother, then at her sister, Cover your mouth and laugh.

"What's the matter, so happy?"

I've been laughing since just now.Yu Jiang was infected by his youngest daughter, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Just happy!"

Xiao Miao'er tilted her head: "Father, I'm so happy! From now on, our family will stay together on the boat and not go back to the village, okay?"

"Okay, Miao'er says we won't go back, so we won't go back."

"Okay. Don't go back! Tomorrow I will come to Sister Xi'er to sell goods!" After speaking, he jumped forward happily.

As for Huo Xi, before returning to the courtyard, he ran into Huo Erhuai who was looking for them with Nian'er in his arms.

　Good morning~ Today is Friday again
