On the first day of a week, the rooster crows and the sun rises, and the end of the hour [Note 1] (equivalent to 6 or 7 o'clock in modern times~).

Because Miss said that she would concentrate on doing business, Lu'er didn't leave anyone to take care of Miss. As for the sanitation in the house, before they got up early in the morning to start selling goods, they finished all the housework. I also put on a new overalls that are said to be called "advertising clothes" before going out!

So, everyone left Dongmei, who was not completely ill, to continue to recuperate until she recovered, and invited Sister Gu, a skillful daughter-in-law from the neighboring street, to cook in the kitchen at home, after all, there are three people at home, such as Miss, Zhufeng Gongzi, and Dongmei.

Naturally, Miss doesn't need to do anything, she's the head of the family!

The bamboo wind boy doesn't have to come out to work, he is Miss's subordinate and not a servant, and he is also at the helm of Miss's business plan; Naturally, it is different from myself and others who need to perform tasks and complete work.

The other is Dongmei, this is a patient, can you still ask her to work while sick? Even if someone else can! In our family, there is a benevolent and righteous young lady, and it is not allowed.

--- on the most prosperous Wangfu Street in the west of the city---

After putting off another firecracker at the gate of Huafu Courtyard, the children cleaned up the garbage made by the firecrackers and happily started the new day's sales.

This time it's not a trial sale, and there is no tasting session, but the real opening!

Although they don't have a store that can block the wind, at least they no longer walk around the streets with handbaskets, they have a hanging tag snack cart, a sales cart of their own!

In addition, the hand-held basket was improved, and two copies of the signature flag were made of a lightweight and improved flat pole, so that it was not difficult for girls to carry it.

Of course, a car doesn't need all the people to watch, just three children to watch.

Therefore, according to Mo Zhufeng's arrangement: Xiaodouding and Mo Hanyu, the second oldest among the boys, and Chunlan were sold on the spot and watched the snack cart.

Xiaodouding is small but clever and clever, and is responsible for shouting and attracting customers; Although Mo Hanyu is usually a little arrogant, he is sensible and reasonable at critical moments, plus he has studied with his brother and can settle accounts, and he is also more handsome than other little boys and can be used as a façade; Chunlan is the oldest girl among the girls (as old as Lu'er), who is steady, responsible for packaging and selling goods, and sitting.

The rest, including Lu'er, are all carrying flat shoulders and selling on the streets: Lu'er and Xia He are in a group, one person picks up flat shoulders and one person sells, and they can be exchanged when they are tired; The other group is Li Daxing and Qiu Ju.

Xia He is a sharp-tongued and clever girl, and when she gets together with Xiaodouding, she can talk more funny; Qiu Ju is a simple and honest girl who doesn't talk much; Li Daxing is the oldest among the boys except for Mo Zhufeng, honest and serious, and just leads Qiu Ju to partner together.

Under the reflection of the rising sun, a group of uniformly dressed red figures happily shuttled back and forth on the street, and kept shouting: "Sugar gourd~!" Sell sugar gourd~~!! Fragrant and sweet sugar gourd~~~!! ”

"Sugar gourd that helps to consume appetizers~! Selling sugar gourds ......"

From afar: the children were male and female, but the average was about 10 years old. Just like the newspaper boys of the old days in modern society, they keep shuttling back and forth among the pedestrians, selling their goods with the same slogan.

Take a closer look at their work clothes: all of them are "red off-the-shoulder short horse coats" style shoulders worn outside their clothes, uniformly tailored embroidered and customized, with different colors of regular script fonts on the advertising slogans.

On the front and back sides of the clothes, each has a square seal.

The front is red on the bottom, and a string of attractive red and bright rock sugar gourds wrapped in gold is drawn on the upper left side of the upper left, which occupies most of the area on the left side of the front of the clothes; The four vertical red characters of the right title "rock sugar gourd" occupy half of the area on the right side in the lower right corner, and the upper right corner also occupies half of the area and is marked with "want to produce products, quality assurance" eight small red characters with gold edges.

The back body is written in dark green small characters in detail about the historical origin of the sugar gourd in this time and space, as well as the naming reason and medical function of its own sugar gourd.

It looks very eye-catching!

Take a closer look at their new and improved flat poles: they are not like the traditional flat poles, with two holes chiseled into one board, two ropes tied and two baskets worn! And their flat tan, said to be a flat dan, is more like an improved version of the "double-headed rope basket" with rice hanging at both ends.

Because it is necessary to keep the pastry from being squeezed, it is not directly used in cloth bags, but slightly improved.

This improvement: only need to hang a rope on the shoulder, and the middle of the rope (that is, located from the neck to the shoulder) is specially thickened and sewn a coarse cloth belt to increase friction and reduce shoulder pressure; Under the cloth bag, the rope is no longer worn as a flat basket, but a square basket, which is not easy to shake together. (There is also a small flag standing in the corner of the square basket at the front~) so that people can wear it, it will be very effortless!

Holding two flat poles together in both hands; There are two holes on the shoulder, and the rope is threaded in, so that the flat burden is hung on the neck, resisted on the shoulder, and held on the hand, and firmly does not fall. In addition, a thick layer of kraft paper is laid inside the flat pole to prevent the sugar gourds placed on it from sticking. Under the brown paper, there is a thick layer of cotton mats sewn around a flat basket to prevent shocks.

As the sun gets hotter, the flow of people begins to crowd.

The children laughed and sang songs, dressed in overalls, advertised bizarrely, and sold them on the streets. The strange scene really attracted a large number of curious tourists, and some people even asked what happened.

I saw that one of the middle-aged men looked curious, and finally couldn't hold back and came to the stall and grabbed a little boy who was shouting. smiled and asked, "Baby, you and your companions are selling so much on the street, what are you selling?" ”

"Sugar gourd [Note 2] Ah! Have you ever seen a snack or snack like this? No, hehe. The boy replied with a grin, it was Xiao Douding.

"Why don't you buy one and try it, uncle? You know what you're selling! It's only 1 copper plate, which is not expensive. Xiao Douding continued to work hard.

Seeing his amiable smile that warms people's hearts like a spring breeze, coupled with his well-behaved and cute face, it is very likable.

The middle-aged man didn't think much about it, and after thinking about it, he directly paid for a bunch. I tried it on the spot and said "It's delicious"!

The onlookers on the side couldn't bear it, thinking that this thing was so cheap; In addition, this thing called "sugar gourd" looks red and gorgeous, and it looks quite delicious. I also paid for it, so I took it as a fresh!

So, one person tasted it and praised it, "It's delicious!" ”； Another person also took a bite when he saw it, and praised the word "delicious"; Seeing that it was really delicious, everyone paid for it. Or eat it yourself, or go home and bring a child to be a sweet mouth......

The children sold the gourds and collected the money, and continued to shout loudly and happily sing the song "Rock Sugar Gourd" [Note 3] all over the street---

"It is said that the ice gourd is sour, and it is wrapped in sweetness in the acid.

It is said that the ice gourd is sweet, but it is sour in the sweetness.

The sugar gourd looks good and it is worn on bamboo sticks, symbolizing happiness and reunion.

Connecting happiness and reunion, there is no worry and no trouble.

Stand tall and you can see far away, facing the mountains to call,

If your qi is smooth, your heart will be wide, and you will be twenty years younger.

The sugar gourd looks good and it is worn on bamboo sticks, symbolizing happiness and reunion.

Happiness and reunion are connected in a string, there is no sorrow and no trouble,

It is said that the ice gourd is sour, and it is wrapped in sweetness in the sour,

It is said that the ice gourd is sweet, but inside the sweetness it is sour.

The mountains are red and it is dripping and round, and the round gourd rock candy is connected,

Eat it to cure diseases and satisfy cravings, and you will be twenty years younger. ”

The result can be imagined! One to ten, ten to hundred. Under such a strong word-of-mouth publicity effect, after the advent of Hua Xiangrong's sugar gourd, it immediately set off a whirlwind not only within the scope of Wangfu Street!

At this moment, almost all the people in the west of the city know about the "rock sugar gourd". After eating it, I not only liked its sweet and sour taste, but also liked that it could effectively cure my child's anorexia!

Suddenly, it didn't take a few days to make the rock sugar gourd a household name in the whole city.

Hua Xiangrong also earned the first pot of gold in the real sense of the other world!

[Outside the words, Yu Jia answered a question from a reader in the group:

Q - Why is the female protagonist set up like this? Will it be too white at times; And sometimes too shrewd!

Answer--The heroine herself is fine! It's just that in the setting of the protagonist, the dual personality is almost a common feature of the heroine of each of Yu Jia's works. Maybe this is because Yu Jia herself is also a complex of contradictions and personalities, right?
