Chapter 56 Unknown situation
When the two old couple heard that Huo Xi said they wanted it all, they glanced at each other and patted their thighs: "Okay, I'll sell it to you." It's not more expensive than others, but it's better than not being able to sell it. it is good.

Huo Xi saw that they were weighing in a hurry. The two baskets of oranges weighed 62 catties.

Huo Xi said a total of 93 essays.They also asked someone to help with the calculation.

When I figured it out, it was indeed 93 essays, and the old couple praised Huo Xi again and again.

Huo Xi took out a hundred copper coins and handed them to them, saying: "I can't pick it, can you help me pick the ferry in the outer city?"

"Yes, why not!"

The two took the copper coins and counted and counted.The old woman happily put the copper coins into her bosom, and when the old man saw that she had collected the money, he happily picked up the pole, and hung the basket ropes on both ends of the pole.

"Xiaowa go ahead and lead the way."

While talking, the old woman followed behind to protect the baskets, for fear that one or two would fall out.The old man happily followed Huo Xi with his basket in his hand, walking briskly to the ferry in the outer city without feeling tired at all.

His son and daughter-in-law also told them not to take the trouble to pick things into the city, because no one wanted things, and finally had to work hard to pick them back.

However, if you don't pick it and try it, how do you know it won't sell?Isn't this sold?

The two old men walked briskly with their copper coins in their pockets.

When Huo Xi arrived at the ferry in the outer city, Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai were already on board.Worried about the cloth at home, and also worried about Huo Xi who was alone in the outer city, he sold the fish early.When I came back to see her, I haven't returned yet, and I'm still going to look for her.

Seeing Huo Xi leading an old couple back with a load of oranges, I was dumbfounded.I can't come back to my senses for a long time.

How can Xi'er buy a load of oranges?The family hasn't eaten fruit for a long time, and Nian'er can eat supplementary food, but Nian'er still can't eat this orange, right?Or is it that this orange can remove mildew?

It's not easy for outsiders to ask more questions, Huo Erhuai and others just helped to carry the oranges onto the boat, leaving a basket for the old couple.

When the old couple was about to leave, Huo Xi thought about the usefulness of citric acid and also had a lot of cloth, so he said to the two of them: "Master, grandma, do you still have such oranges at home?"

ah? "You want more?"

"Yes. Do you still have any?"

"Yes, why not. There are still a lot of knots on the tree. Every year, they rot on the tree and fall to the ground to make flower fertilizer." When the two elders heard that she wanted more, they nodded repeatedly, and the smiles on their faces couldn't stop live.

"Little baby, do you really want it?" The old lady looked at Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai as she said that, seeing that the two of them didn't make a statement, they actually looked at the youngest baby together, she was amazed in her heart.

Seeing Huo Xi nodding, he happily said: "Xingle, there are still some at home, so we will send them to you tomorrow? Send them here?"

Huo Xi nodded: "Chen Chu, we are waiting for you here. Bring two loads a day, and the green ones too. By the way, if you are willing to help peel the skin and bring only the pulp, I will give you an extra 25 coins per load. wages."

"Huh? Peel the skin?" Although the skin was peeled off and the weight was lost, it cost 25 cash more per load.

The two immediately agreed: "Xingle, that's easy, and it doesn't take much effort. The kids at home can make it. Tomorrow we will only pick the flesh!"

There must be hundreds of catties at home!How much can this sell for!The corners of their mouths couldn't close together, and they hurried home to pick oranges.

Seeing the two walking briskly away carrying empty baskets, Yang's family, Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu all looked at Huo Xi.

"Father and mother, I have some use for these oranges. I want to develop something that can be used to wash those cloths."

With oranges? "Can it be cleaned?"

Huo Xi thought for a while: "It should be possible, but we have to see how effective it is."

"Okay, then you tell me how to do it, and my parents will help you."

"Okay. Dad, have you bought the basin yet?"

"I bought three, go in and see if you need them. If you don't need them, Dad will buy them again."

Huo Xi went into the cabin to have a look, and saw three large basins stacked together, fixed vertically on the ship's wall, she went up to compare, and it was half her height.It should work.

Silk is expensive, and it cannot be soaked for a long time. It is impossible to soak dozens of pieces of cloth at once. There is no such condition.Soak three horses at the same time, enough for her and Yang to take turns washing them.

When he came out, he said to Mrs. Yang, "Mother, please help me boil some water. Don't boil it. Remove from the fire when it starts to bubble."

"Row."

Yang Shi was about to leave, when Huo Xi stopped her again, and gave each of them a Huangyan milk orange: "Try them all, five cents each."

"What? Five coins for one?"

Did you hear me wrong?What kind of precious oranges are these, and they cost five cents a piece?Is it five cents a catty?Put it in the palm of your hand and look back and forth. It's half the size of a palm. If you weigh it again, I'm afraid it will be worth a catty with only four or five. Wouldn't that be the same price as meat?

hiss!It is also too expensive.Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai looked at each other, seeing that the precious oranges in their hands couldn't be eaten.

"Mother, it's rare to eat it once, and I didn't buy much, only twenty. Try them all."

Only bought twenty?Then you have to ask for a penny?Huo Erhuai didn't earn so much money selling fish today.

It hurts even more.

But Yang Fu quickly cut the skin open, and quickly threw a piece into his mouth: "I bought everything..." He paused.After chewing it carefully, his eyes lit up: "It's delicious! It's so sweet! Sister, brother-in-law, try it quickly! It's so sweet!"

Be darling, no wonder it costs five coins a piece.

Yang Shi swallowed, and put the oranges into her arms: "Leave you and Xi'er to eat."

Huo Xi took out another one, quickly dissected it, and shared half between her and Huo Erhuai: "Father, mother, you can eat it. It's delicious. We only eat it once a year, and we will earn money in the future." Let’s buy some more to eat.”

Yang Shi was stuffed into his mouth, but couldn't spit it out, so he chewed it carefully, it was really sweet, no wonder it cost five cents a piece.

"Xi'er, what about these?" Yang Fu pointed to another kind of orange in Xi'er's back basket.

"That is Yingzhou mandarin orange. It is also delicious. It only costs fifteen yuan a catty. I bought five catties and went back to Taoyedu at night to share with everyone. These days, thanks to them taking care of our business, They bought us dozens of jars of wine, dozens of pieces of cloth, daily vegetables, oil, salt, and tung oil. They also bought us a lot of business."

After hearing this, Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai nodded repeatedly, saying that Huo Xi was thoughtful.

Holding the basket in his arms, Yang Fu looked at the oranges inside with some distress.Usually, his sister and brother-in-law would not be willing to buy so many fruits and eat them at home.

Huo Xi then whispered to him: "If you give up, you can get something. In business, you have to be willing to give up small profits, so that you can get big profits in your pockets. Like before when we went to the city to sell crabs, if we didn't give benefits to the boys, they would give us money." To call the steward?"

Yang Fu was relieved when he heard it, and planned to put it away with the basket in his arms.

Seeing the soap in the basket again, he took out one: "Xi'er, these are fragrant soaps! You still buy so many fragrant soaps?" My heart aches again.

Huo Xi nodded: "Well, it's also used to wash fabrics."

"so much?"

Huo Xi rolled his eyes at him: "You don't even look at how much cloth we have."

Yang Fu thought, yes, there are dozens of horses.He took his things to collect them.
