Mingyue naturally couldn't see it, he couldn't wait to straighten his body a little more, stretch his arms a little more, and stretch his neck longer, no matter how far away Shi Gui was, he could see him at a glance.

But the dock was crowded with people, and it was dark and oppressive in the past, and those who were closer could still distinguish between men, women and children, and those who were farther away could only see people's heads, and they couldn't even see the black and red on their bodies.

Although Mingyue couldn't see Shi Gui, she knew that Shi Gui must be looking at him, tilted her face up, and waited for the cannon to sound, and as soon as the hammer fell and the drum sounded, the ship left the port.

There are more than 100 people on a boat, and it is not far from the sea, the important thing is that the dragon boat is launched, and a piece of sea is vacated.

As soon as the drum sounded, the dock cheered, the first half of the family members, all of them were full of energy to race the boat, the croquettes could not be sold for a while, Shi Gui's eyes stared at the red dragon boat, and looked at the few little ladies around him who drew out the handkerchief, red, white and green, thinking that his sweetheart was on the boat.

The girl standing next to Shi Gui was dancing with a red handkerchief in her hand, and seeing Shi Gui staring at her handkerchief, she hid her mouth and laughed: "Are you not prepared?" She said the Suizhou dialect, Shi Gui understood half of it, nodded and smiled at her, and the girl actually pulled half of the square handkerchief and stuffed it into her hand.

Shi Gui laughed out loud, and couldn't hold it up, feeling that he was being stupid, if he had made some colored cloths of various colors early, painted dragons on them, and made small flags to sell, it would be another income.

She was distracted, and Xizi tugged at her sleeve: "Sister, can Brother Wu win?" The rowing arms are thick and strong, wearing a white vest and black pants, only the belt on the waist is different, only the drummer is different, Mingyue recognized which one was Mingyue at a glance, worried that he would not win, and was a little anxious.

This Shi Gui couldn't guess, he tiptoed high to look into the distance, and he couldn't see which ship was faster in Wanghailou, and Xizi couldn't see it, so Shi Gui said: "You be louder, Brother Wu naturally knows that you are cheering him on." ”

As soon as her arm danced, a row of small bells with a row of fine pieces on the silver cleath on her chest rang gently, and the bell sounded clear, and Shi Gui didn't wear it

Because the lock is too thin, and it is not the home of a five or six-year-old girl, the bracelet also has a bell, but now the dock is ringing, and the Suizhou woman also has silver jewelry on her.

It is rare on weekdays, and there are a lot of girls dressed in different costumes in the festival, Shi Gui can't tell which clan they belong to, with a crown on their heads, wide and narrow skirts, some wearing white and some wearing blue, and at first glance, they are dressed up for the festival to have fun, and the people on this pier can't understand what they say.

A few people in groups, Shi Gui pulled Xizi, Ah Zhen led the pine basket, people crowded people, and squeezed several of them to the door of the store, Shi Gui saw that the store was selling ice and snow drinks, so he asked them all to sit inside, and told Xizi and the pine basket not to go far, just look at the door of the store.

The noon sun is very poisonous, everyone wants to watch the boat race, they all squeeze forward, the sugar water prepared in the store can't be sold, seeing the customers come to the door, they hurriedly come to greet them, and let Xiao Er carry a few glasses of water to the outside to peddle.

Shi Gui asked for a bowl of licorice ice, and asked Ah Zhen Songluo for sour plum soup and five-flower tea, and when the store came out, he saw the black people by the door, blocking the door and not being able to enter, and talking about business.

The proprietress was in a hurry, but Xiao Er really squeezed out but could sell it, Shi Gui was also worried that this day was getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't get sunburned in the future, so he couldn't stop fanning with a fan, Ah Zhen said: "It's hot." ”

It's not hot, the heat wave on the dock at this time is bursting with people, Xiao Er went out to turn around, came back covered with sweat, and muttered twice: "Let's also push a cart out, the soup on this day can't be sold." ”

Shi Gui held the straw pipe in his hand, the middle was empty, and he took this and put it in the licorice snow water to drink, saying that it was snow water, but it only had some ice, and it was always better than not adding ice, but it couldn't be sold at this time, otherwise it should be the best time for business.

There are three or two tables in this shop, there are several kinds of sweet sugar water boiled, as well as donggua honey tea, the proprietress is a local, and the five-flower tea iced tea sour soup will be everything, looking at this situation is also very anxious, today it is considered to be more cooked, how do you know that the guests can't even enter the door.

The shops along the coast are like this, except for the tables and chairs and stools in front of the door, as if the door of the store that is going to walk in like this is full of water, Xiao Er ran again and again, every time he sold three or five bowls, he came back and was drenched in sweat.

Shi Gui saw that her business was indeed not easy to do, if the ice in the bucket melted, these soups would be even more unsellable, and they couldn't be sold alone, the bowl was still porcelain, a bowl of soup was only a few dollars, and it was even less worth losing into a bowl.

Because it was a sugar water shop, Shi Gui asked, "Does the proprietress rent this land?" She still held a wheat stalk in her hand, ordered a fried sugar cake, and asked if the shop was rented before she got off her chopsticks.

The proprietress sank her face and quickly smiled, in the end, she couldn't say anything unpleasant, but she still said: "It's difficult for me to turn around here, and I can't talk about renting or not." ”

Shi Gui pointed to the piece in front of her door: "I will rent this vacant land in front of your door and set up a stall, so that I can sell rice, and my two guys can hide from the sun in the house. ”

The proprietress was stunned, the vacant land in front of the door is only half an eaves, and if you give two stools, you can collect rent, which is better than just selling sugar water, Shi Gui smiled again: "I rented a place from you, and I don't sell sugar water at my stall, a bowl of sugar water is three dollars, if it is sold with my rice, even if it is a penny, you do the math, is it earned." ”

When the proprietress heard that she was going to sell it at a lower price, she was not happy immediately, calculated an account, and refused to let go of Shi Gui's piece of fat: "Let me listen, how to calculate this rent?"

Shi Gui stretched out two fingers: "Two coins of silver for a month." "Two hundred yuan for a month, which is too low for rent, but just renting the vacant land in front of the door, that is a lot.

The proprietress thought about it for a while, and opened her mouth and said: "We can be long in this summer, until the autumn, and the Double Ninth Festival will be over, and if you are willing to rent for five months, I will make a contract with you." ”

Shi Gui laughed: "Five months is five months, no matter how windy or rainy I can't get out of the stall, I will rent you money." When it was decided, he was going to write, and asked the proprietress again: "Think about selling sugar water, in short, you won't lose." ”

The proprietress still refused, the shops on a street all sell three dollars and a bowl, there are still materials in it, the price is already extremely cheap, and then sell it cheaply, where is there a profit, Shi Gui does not force her, she asked Xiao Er to put down the bowl to borrow paper and pen from another shop, Shi Gui signed the contract, she saw that Shi Gui could write, but she was afraid that she would do things on paper, a little hesitation, with the paper to leave the guy to look at the store, and go to ask people.

The guy said: "You don't have any business to sell here, our shop will flow into the account with this idea a day, and it won't be a loss to set up a stall here." Lazily leaned on the table, and while the proprietress was away, he scooped a bowl of soup and drank it.

Ah Zhen saw that her eyes widened, and her mouth was open, of course she knew that Shi Gui was powerful, and what the two of them said was also half-incomprehensible, and half had to rely on the pine basket to explain, but she knew that sitting here with a bowl of snow water was not exhausted, and Shi Gui made another business.

The proprietress took the contract and entered the door, and quickly pressed the handprint, where to find such a wronged man, and pressed the seal before asking: "What are you selling? There is a lot of everything on this street, and you can't rely on me if your business is not good." ”

Shi Gui laughed: "Does the boss lady know Shi Ji?"

The proprietress moved her face, pointed at Shi Gui and couldn't speak: "What is the food seller on the dock?" She is a seller of sugar water, but the two shops on the wall are selling rice and vegetables, small fried meat and wine, a bowl of rice, the original business is good, there are not many people at noon, there are always more people at night, how do you know that as soon as Shi Ji opens, the people who eat small stir-fried vegetables and rice are less than half.

She wanted to sell rice bowls here, and the proprietress immediately changed her face and asked carefully: "How is your sugar water calculated, I didn't make much money originally, and if I spare two pennies, what will I earn." ”

Shi Gui took a spoon and stirred the bowl: "Drink soup on a hot day to relieve the heat, the things in it are sweet and greasy, where are these workers willing to eat, just boil some mung bean water winter melon tea, there is no need to have ingredients in it, just want soup to quench your thirst, you naturally know how to cook more." ”

The sugar water is cheaper, the rice bowl has a heavy taste, eat the rice bowl and drink a cup of sugar water, a cup of money, the picture is a small profit but quick turnover, Shi Gui has made a contract with her, and laughed: "Corn silk or sour plum soup is good, just bring some flavor, you can't be short of material every day, there must be two days of good soup." ”

If you really want to drink sweet soup when you come in, you can understand it at a glance, one has material and one has no material, a cup of bamboo cup is a penny, that is, some sweetness is a little cool, the price is fair, she knows that Shi Ji's business is good, and she doesn't sell five or six hundred meals a day, everyone eats her cup of sweet tea, and it is half a tael of silver a day.

Slap his teeth and bite it, if this place was not his own house, he would not have been able to spend it a long time ago, and now he agreed, Shi Gui gave her a deed again, and the proprietress laughed: "What else is this writing." ”

Shi Gui said: "In black and white, I still write better." ”

The proprietress didn't look for anyone to see this time, listened to Shi Guinian once, stretched out her hand and pressed the seal, Xizi ran in, her head and face were sweaty, and pointed to an endless crowd and said, "Brother Wu won the jackpot!"

Shi Gui stood up suddenly, the big silver lock hanging on his chest clanged as soon as he trembled, his face smiled, and he pulled Xizi and said, "Really, the red boat won?"

"No, the flags are all hung up, and the artillery is fired, and what do you hear, there is a bang. "The sound of people is in my ears, where can I still hear the sound of cannons, if it wasn't for Kiko to find it, I wouldn't know that the regatta is over.

Xizi dragged her out, looked at it from a distance, and sure enough, it was a colorful flag on the red boat, and it had just stood at the door of the store, and the girl who had divided half of Shi Gui's red handkerchief was also laughing, Shi Gui saw her smiling happily, and invited her to drink a bowl of licorice snow water, and thanked her for half a red cloth.

She smiled sweetly, her complexion was slightly dark, and there was a small mole at the corner of her mouth, and she asked sweetly: "You are also waiting for a lover?"
