Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 14 Bracelet
At the ferry in the outer city, Huo Xi and Yang Fu failed to find their own awning boat.

This is just to try luck, far from the response time.

After thinking for a while, the two turned their heads and went to the outer city pier.

I didn't see Huo Zhong, nor did I see his family's merchant ship.The two picked a friendly and easy-to-talk shop, moved the goods for a long time, and got twelve copper coins.

At the end of the day, thinking that they hadn't bought a pig's trotter for their mother for several days, the two went to Gao Butcher to buy another one.

Avoiding the local dogs, when they reached the ferry in the outer city, the two squatted on the river bank with their pig's trotters, waiting for their own boat to pick them up.

The wind from the river made me feel drunk, and I was so hung up that I almost fell headfirst into the river.

He was held back by Yang Fu: "Fortunately, I'm here. Xi'er, next time you can learn how to swim with me. We can live on the water, we can't be landlubbers."

"Okay." Huo Xi patted her beating heart and nodded in agreement.If you can learn one more skill, why not.

Shaking his numb legs, he looked into the river, and saw Huo Erhuai swinging his own black-covered boat, swaying into the river from a distance.My own small black-covered boat was covered with a layer of golden light, which made people very warm.

"Father!" "Brother-in-law!"

"Hey! Xi'er, Fu'er!"

Hearing the sound, Yang hugged Huo Nian out of the cabin, and saw that the two of them had nothing but a pig's trotter in their hands, and the basket was gone, so she was very happy: "Sold them all?"

"Well, they're all sold. We've also received a lot of orders! We didn't go to the south city, only the military barracks in the north were sold out." Yang Fu happily talked with Huo Erhuai and Yang about selling crabs today. thing.

After hearing this, the husband and wife were very happy: "Is it really worth more than three or two?"

"It's about the same. Xi'er, give me the count."

Huo Xi handed the money bag to Yang Fu, took it from Yang's arms and teased Huo Nian: "Nian'er, do you miss my sister? Come on, cling to my sister."

Huo Nian smiled when he saw her, drooling, and pressed his small face to Huo Xi's.

In the cabin, Yang Fu counted all the broken silver and copper plates.It was about the same as Huo Xi estimated, more than three taels, nearly four taels of silver.

The corners of Yang's mouth turned high, seeing this pile of broken silver and copper plates, his hands trembled.In just one morning, the invested capital was recovered.There are still several four-twos on the boat, and there are a few catties under two two-twos, which can also be worth some money.

"His father, this has gained a lot!"

The corner of Huo Erhuai's mouth raised, and the scull in his hand shook more vigorously and more rhythmically.

Huo Xi hugged Huo Nian and sat on the ground at the stern, hugging him, raised her head and asked Huo Erhuai: "Father, did you inquire about the market of chrysanthemums today?"

"Yes. Dad has gone to ask about the Zhuangzi you mentioned. But we went late, and someone made a decision early."

Huo Xi was a little disappointed, and planned to collect some chrysanthemums and sell some at a lower price.

Huo Erhuai comforted her: "It's okay, let's focus on the crab business these few days, go to Zhuangzi to buy chrysanthemums, and it will waste time to go back and forth."

Huo Xi understood after thinking about it, and almost put the cart before the horse.Smiling at Huo Erhuai: "That's fine, then I'll tell him about it tomorrow. Dad, did you get any crabs today?"

"Yes, I collected two crab pots. But today I met several crab dealers who also rowed boats to collect crabs, and they paid a lot of money."

When Yang Fu heard this, he was a little worried: "Then is there anyone else who will sell it to us?" After eating some sweetness, the business is about to fail?

"Father, do they accept all kinds of crabs?"

"That's not true. We only charge two taels or more. It's two cents lower than our price."

Yang Fu let out a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Yang patted him: "What's so good! Everyone else is stupid, won't you keep them for a day or two longer?"

"Then what should we do?" Yang Fu frowned.

How do I know what to do.Yang stared at him.

Huo Xi smiled and comforted them: "It's okay, let's go to the market as we go, as long as the price is more expensive than the crab seller."

"Then what if they sell it at the fish market?"

"It's not worthwhile to waste those efforts with a few crabs. It's not worthwhile to pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons. If someone really wants to keep them and sell them door to door in the city, let them go."

Most of the fishermen were like Yang Fu at the beginning, knocking on the door, unable to speak clearly.The poor and the rich, the people and the officials deal with each other, and they are born short.Business is not so easy to do.

After hearing this, Yang felt relieved and ran to the bow of the boat to make dinner.

And Huo Erhuai has been floating on the water for ten years, knowing that it is getting late, everyone will return to the port, and will row the boat back to where it docked, with a clear mind, and search all the way there.

On the way, they met many fishing boats returning to Hong Kong. Huo Xi and Yang Fu stood at the bow and raised their voices to ask each other if they had any crabs.

In this way, a lot was collected along the way.

When we return to Xiaohewan where we docked in the past, the sky is already full of stars.Only twos and threes of windbreak mast lamps are projected in the river waves, the reflections are fragmented, and the surrounding noises are less.

Hearing the sound of the scull paddle, several family members poked their heads out from the cabin: "Huo Erhuai, where did you go fishing? It's so late?"

Qian Xiaoxia also came out of the cabin with his clothes on: "Huo Xi, Yang Fu, I thought you were playing chess with the River God!"

Yang Fu stood by the mast light on the bow of his own boat, and gave him a blank look: "You just went to play chess with the river god!"

Qian Xiaoyu followed, and slapped Qian Xiaoxia hard on the back, causing him to stagger.Qian Xiaoyu glared at him, talking nonsense!They all live on the water, and there is no taboo in their mouths.

Qian Xiaoxia rubbed his nose, then asked Huo Xi: "Huo Xi, do you still want crabs? A crab seller came to collect them today, but we didn't sell them."

If the price is high, can you not sell it?People only want big ones, are you willing to throw the small ones back into the river?Yang Fu complained.

Seeing that Huo Xi glanced at him, he didn't say anything.

"Take it, our price is higher than that of the crab seller. We also take the small ones." Huo Xi replied.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you right away!" Qian Xiaoxia turned around and went to pull the rope of the crab cage hanging on the side of the boat.

The boatman who was parked nearby made a movement at this time, and he also lifted the crab cage, only to hear the sound of splashing water.

Once busy, the noise soon fell silent again.

Tonight's crab is more than twice as much as yesterday.And it's not small.

The boatmen took the heavy money for selling crabs and smiled happily: "Huo Erhuai, I will return the crabs to your family tomorrow."

"Thank you so much!"

The family thanked everyone and watched everyone go back to the cabin before turning around and entering the cabin.Only then did Huo Xi realize something was wrong.

Looking at the empty purse, thinking that there are more crabs than yesterday, and his father also collected two crab pots during the day.

"Father and mother, where did you get the money for collecting crabs today? And the money you gave out just now is more than four taels."

Yang's eyes darkened, Huo Erhuai glanced at her, and said to the two children: "I sold your mother's dowry bracelet and got three taels of silver."

"Ah? Sister, you sold the bracelet my mother left you?"

Yang patted him: "What are you talking about, wake up Nian'er, see if I don't beat you! If you don't sell it, can you have money to collect crabs?"

Yang Fu gritted his teeth: "Then there's no need to sell it. If you pawn it, you can redeem it in a few days."

"It's not suitable for eating or drinking, why redeem it? It's being missed by thieves!"

Huo Xi had an indescribably complicated feeling in his heart. Blood relatives want you to die, but those who have no relatives and no reason want you to live.

Huo Xi moved over, hugged Yang's arm, leaned her head on it, and rubbed it together: "Mother, when I earn money in the future, I will buy you a big gold bracelet, and let you change the same one every day."

Yang's heart was warm, she took her into his arms and stroked her back: "Okay, then mother will wait for Xi'er to be filial to mother."

Yang Fu's buttocks also moved over: "Sister, I'll buy it for you too, so you can wear it with both hands, so as to blind others."

"Go, why am I blinding other people's eyes." Even though he said so, there was no place in his heart that he felt uneasy about.

Yang Fu didn't care, just smiled, half hugged Yang Shi, and leaned on her back.The mother is gone, her sister is the mother.

　In the middle of the night, the neighborhood committee knocked on the door and asked them to go downstairs to do nucleic acid.It was semi-closed for two days, and the whole community was closed~
