The next day the pillar got up earlier than usual, in fact, he didn't sleep all night last night, there were so many things in this yard, even if he kept telling himself that it would be fine, but he still couldn't sleep peacefully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince he couldn't sleep, he just got up and started to work, because there were fewer things to prepare yesterday, and many coolies on the dock couldn't buy food, so he planned to prepare more food today, to prevent the situation from yesterday from happening again. Because he was worried that he would make a noise to the people in the house, the movement of the pillar was very light, but even this still woke up Li Hui.

When Li Hui heard the movement outside, she thought that there was a thief in the house, and the sound of the squirming outside sounded like some bad guy coming in and rummaging things, Li Hui is just a small body now, she is also an adult soul in any way, after perceiving the movement outside, although her first reaction was a little scared, but she also had the courage to get up carefully, her heart is not only afraid now, but more also wants to protect the two people in the family.

Li Hui put on his clothes and carefully leaned on the crack of the door to look out, and sure enough, he saw a person in the yard who was standing in front of the firewood pile and didn't know what he was doing.

"Alas~~~!" Li Hui let out a long sigh, although there was only dim starlight outside, and only the figure of a person could be vaguely seen, but that figure obviously looked like a pillar, but why did the pillar not sleep in the middle of the night?

Although he said that he looked at the image of the person as a pillar, Li Hui did not feel completely relieved, but carefully pushed open the door and quietly came to the kitchen, although there was no light in the kitchen, but now the fire in the stove has risen, so the kitchen is still relatively bright now, just look at the fire, and sure enough, sitting there and lighting the fire is the pillar.

"Brother, what are you doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Li Hui pulled the clothes she was wearing and asked, although the weather is quite warm during the day, it will not work at night, like now, when the breeze blows, people can't help but shiver.

"Ah~~!" Zhu Zi didn't think that there were people at this time, Li Hui came so coldly and really choked him, "Sister~~! Why don't you go to bed and get up?"

"Get up and see why you don't sleep!" Li Hui picked up a small stool and sat next to the pillar, which was facing the stove.

"I can't sleep!" said Zhu Zi a little embarrassed, compared to his sister, he really didn't look like an older brother, he was too timid!

"I can't sleep, so I got up and steamed the steamed buns?" Now the big pot is stacked with a high cage drawer, and as the water vapor rises below, the steamed buns in the cage drawer have begun to emit an attractive fragrance.

"Hehe~~!" Zhuzi didn't know how to answer his sister's words, so he could only laugh a few times.

"Sister, hurry up and go back to sleep~!It's going to be a while before dawn!" the pillar urged Li Hui to go back to his room to rest.

"No need, I won't be able to sleep when I go back anyway!" Li Hui shook his head and said, "I see that this steamed bun is going to be ready soon, I'll help you steam the steamed bun first!"

When the pillar saw that he was also persuaded not to move, his sister had to give up. Just like Li Hui said, the steamed buns inside will be well quickly, and the brother and sister work together to lift the cage drawer down, and the pillar allows Li Hui to sit there and watch the fire, and he began to make noodles again.

As soon as the sky was bright, the pillar opened the door of the store, and through yesterday's situation, Li Hui also knew that the problem with sales was there, so today she simply carried the steamed buns and hot soup outside with the pillar to sell, and sure enough, as soon as the things were carried out, the coolies on the dock came.

Those coolies because they work hard every day, so no matter whether they eat good or bad on this day, three meals are necessary, after yesterday's publicity, Li Hui's small shop can be regarded as known by these coolies, so as soon as this stall is put out, someone will come to eat. These coolies didn't pay attention to it, so they took the bowl and held the steamed buns or squatted or stood there to solve the breakfast on the spot, and soon the steamed steamed buns and hot soup were all over in the morning, leaving only a bunch of used dirty bowls.

"Tomorrow morning, we're steaming more steamed buns, today's steamed buns are not enough to sell!" Zhu Zi said happily, this morning he steamed twice the amount on weekdays, and he used to sell two days of steamed buns, but today he sold them for breakfast, which made him not mention how happy.

Different from the joy of the pillar, Li Hui looks full of worries, today's business is indeed good, and after looking at this situation, it will be like this every day, of course Li Hui is happy that the business is good, but now it is obviously a problem to be too busy, and if it is like this every day in the future, whether it is himself or the pillar, it is unbearable, you must know that you and the pillar have to study after closing the store every night, especially the pillar, he has to practice the big character for half an hour more than himself every night, and it doesn't need to work so hard every morning before, if you have to get up every day before dawn, even a strong man can't stand it, not to mention that the pillar is still a developing half-grown child!

Li Hui had such an idea in her heart but didn't tell the pillar, because she knew very well that if she told the pillar, he would definitely not agree, so she went directly to tell her father, and after listening to Li Hui's words, Li Changgen thought about it for a long time before speaking.

"Can this business be guaranteed to be like this every day?" Li Changgen asked the most important thing, of course he definitely didn't want his two children to be too tired, but this business they had just started, although the previous business was also profitable, but it didn't say that it could earn money to the point where it could hire people, if the business of those coolies could be guaranteed, it would be nothing to hire someone to work, but if the coolies on the dock couldn't guarantee it, then they would lose more than they could take care of one person.

"It's not like you can find the right person all at once, so what I mean is that we can look for it slowly, and just have time to see if the sound is stable or unstable!" Li Hui said.

"Hmm~~!" Hearing Li Hui say this, Li Changgen nodded, "This is also a good way, then let's watch for a few days first, and if this business is stable, we will hire someone!"

Originally, Li Hui had specially designed these meals for the coolies on the dock before opening the store, and the price was also for the positioning of what they could consume, and the business was not good because the other party had never understood this, but now those coolies know the price, and some of them have eaten, and this reputation has been established in just a few days. And then came a booming business.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Brother, when you go to the market, I'll see if there are any turtledoves for sale, I want to make some eggplant for the chief manager, we got a piece of jade pendant, and I think the jade pendant is worth a hundred taels of silver!" Li Hui grabbed the pillar that was going out to buy.

"That's it~!" the pillar said with some embarrassment: "The turtledove is really hard to touch, I'll go to the market and take a good look!"

Although the pillar also watched his sister accept the jade pendant that day, he didn't know that the jade pendant was worth so much money, and now when he heard his sister say that the jade pendant was actually a hundred and ten taels of silver, he was immediately startled, and his heart began to be worried, he must have received such a valuable thing from others, so he also leaned towards what his sister said, since the chief manager likes to eat the dish made by his sister, then make more and give it to others.

This turtle dove does not want to be a chicken and duck like someone to raise, this thing is a wild thing, can only be caught by someone, and a turtle dove does not have much meat, most of the people who are generally caught are eaten by themselves, few people take it out to sell, last time it was also a pillar happened to see someone selling turtle doves in the market, originally bought it was intended to be eaten by my sister, but I don't want my sister to use turtle dove meat to make a dish.

Sure enough, the pillar turned around the market twice today and didn't see anyone selling turtledoves, and he walked a little dejectedly, when suddenly he saw a figure flashing on the corner of the street, and hurriedly chased after him.

"What do you want?" shouted the beggar-like child who was blocked in the alley by the pillars.

"Little brother~~!" Seeing the little beggar pillar who was scared like this, he hurriedly said with a pleasant face: "Little brother, you don't remember me, just last time, last time you and another boy who was a little older, didn't you two sell me two turtledoves! I just want to ask you, can you still catch turtledoves? I want to sell a few more!"

The pillar's words made the little beggar relax a little, but he still looked at the pillar in disbelief and asked, "Do you just want to sell turtledoves?"

"Yes~~!The people in the turtledove family I bought back last time love to eat it, so I want to buy a few!"

"I want to buy turtledoves!" The other party was a little relieved, only to see his eyes gurgle and then said to the pillar: "We don't have turtledoves now, we want to catch them!" And there is no guarantee that we can catch them, or you will come back tomorrow~! I will go back today to see if I can catch you!"

The pillar looked like a moment and felt that what the other party said was very right, he nodded and agreed, "That's okay~!Then where will we meet tomorrow?"

"In~~!" the other party looked like a moment and said, "It's at the east entrance of the market, under the big locust tree!"

The pillar nodded, "Then tomorrow will be this hour, I still have a lot of things to do during the day, I will come to the market to buy vegetables at this time, let's be at this hour tomorrow!"

"Okay~!" the little beggar agreed very happily.

Although I didn't buy turtledoves today, I was lucky enough to meet the little beggar who sold turtledoves last time, and the other party has promised to help me catch turtledoves, so let's see if I can catch them tomorrow!

The pillar who walked back happily did not notice that the little beggar was quietly following him, and the little beggar had been following behind the pillar and watched back to the house, and then he ran to the mouth of the alley, and asked the people who lived there, and then ran away.

"Big Brother~~!Big Brother~~!" The little beggar ran all the way out of the town, and came to the back of a mound outside the town, behind which was a small shack made of several planks and thatch.

"What's the matter?" heard shouts outside, and out of the crumbling shack came an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, dressed in tatters and dressed like a beggar.

"Big brother~~!" The little beggar panted and ran over for a while before he spoke: "Big brother, I just met the person who bought our turtledoves that day in the town, and he said that he still wants turtledoves, and he wants us to catch a few!"

"Really?" said the older beggar, surprised, considering that they had caught turtledoves several times before, and had tried to sell them at the market, but unfortunately they had only sold them once.

"Really~!I've made an appointment with him, and tomorrow I'll be under the big locust tree at the entrance of the East Market!" The little beggar said this, his tone was a little excited, "Big brother, if we sell those two turtle doves, will we have the money to give the little three medicines!"

Although the little beggar who was a little older was also very happy, he was not so optimistic, he thought for a moment and asked, "Did the man say how much he wanted?"

"This~~!, I didn't say how many I wanted, I just said that I wanted to get a few turtledoves!" The little beggar looked like a moment and said: "By the way, big brother, I followed behind that person, and I also inquired about it, that person's house is a food shop, and it is said that business is good!"

"Really?" The slightly older little beggar's eyes lit up when he heard this, if the other party was really a food shop, then maybe there would be a lot of turtledoves needed, "Then you go in and take care of Xiao San first, I'll go to find turtledoves now, since that person seems to have a food shop in the house, there will definitely be a lot of needs, let's catch a few more and sell them to him, maybe Xiao San's medicine money will be available!"

"Yes, yes~~!Big brother, go quickly!, I'll take care of the mistress!" said the little beggar and went into the shack.
