Chapter 15 Business is Hard

After a few days, Lin Guilu called out that his eldest brother was Lin Guifu, and he borrowed a boat to find a merchant specializing in boats. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that the weather is cold, the work of making the bricks will be stopped for a while, and it will not continue until the weather warms up next year. When they came back in the evening, they were already rowing a boat by themselves.

"How did you buy it back so quickly? How much did it cost? "Qi didn't expect to be able to buy a boat if he went.

"Hehe, just like us, don't make a small boat that is usually used and crops when the farm is busy. I don't even have a shed. It cost less than five taels of silver. It's really not cheap, I really want to be a man on this ship, and I have to ask our old man to lay a good partition. Just get a little shed up there. You can also disassemble and pack things when the farm is busy. Lin Guilu was also very happy that he finally had a boat of his own, and the province borrowed someone else's every time.

"Oh, tomorrow I can also go to the street and take my own boat, and I will follow me to the street every day to play" Brother Lin almost didn't jump up

"Ahh None of us know how to row, so tomorrow my mother will take us by rowing. Yujuan, Yukou, a few of us are going to learn rowing. Xiujuan did not forget to remind everyone

The next day, after feeding the pigs, we decided to go shopping in the streets together. After getting on the boat, it was Lin Guilu rowing. The children were eager to try it immediately, but Qi Shi didn't agree, "I'm in a hurry now, I'll be fine in the afternoon, Mom will teach you." Lin Yujuan looked at the boat carefully, the whole boat was five or six meters long, with two partitions in the middle, divided into three cabins, and there was a partition more than a foot wide where there was a compartment more than a foot wide. Lin Yujuan knew that it was the fish that was released, and she had seen it on Boss Gu's boat. The partition between the two rear cabins has two brackets on either side and an oar on each side. Lin Guilu is paddling forward with both hands. It's simple, you can see it all at a glance.

"Dad, do you want to put it in the cabin of this ship like Gu Lao's family?" Lin Yujuan asked again

"Yes, I'll go back in the afternoon and discuss it with the old man. When the time comes, you will have to ask him to go to the street to see what kind of wood you want to buy, and how much you want to buy. Tung oil also has to be bought. Let's weave the shed above, there is no work in the past two days, I went to cut some reeds, made the braid, formed it, brushed it with tung oil, and then it can be used. Usually, you go to the street to lay a board and cover a shed, and you can hide from the rain or something. Lin Guilu told the children his thoughts

When they got to the street, they continued to go their separate ways, and the children stayed behind to sell vegetables. Qi went to buy cotton, cloth or something. Lin Guilu also wanted to find out where there was wood tung oil to understand what the market was. The four children were divided into two stalls, and the younger brother Lin was with the eldest sister. Yukou Yujuan continued to set up a stall in the same place. I brought some kimchi today, and Yujuan has been promoting her kimchi. When I was at home, I used a bowl to cut a lot of them so that customers could taste them first. However, it is still not convenient to use a scale to weigh when selling, so continue to use the previous method. Two pennies and a sea bowl, at home to last about half a catty.

"Let's try it, let's try it, it's a delicious pickled side dish, it's sour and crunchy. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it, let's try it, delicious side dishes" A lot of people came up for a while, where can you miss this free tasting. While eating, I didn't forget to praise two words, "It's good, it's delicious," and the one said, "It's so crispy, I still like that one that's a little spicy." "But in the end, there were very few people who actually bought them

Lin Yujuan had to be a little discouraged, so she had to cheer herself up and "come on, come on" to think about leaving half of the kimchi for her brother, and she planned to take the other half to some breakfast shops and small restaurants to sell it. I put a small bowl with some spicy flavor and put it in a crockpot and set off. After walking along the street for a while, I saw a morning tea shop in front of me. People in this area love to eat morning tea, and this is just a township, so there are not too many dishes. But there are also shrimp wontons, fish noodle soup, sanding buns, shortbread, siu mai, and of course, boiled dried shreds.

As soon as Lin Yujuan entered the door, Xiao Er, who ran the hall, felt strange. To say that the rules in this country are not big, occasionally women come to have morning tea, and most of them come with their families. Like today, such a half-grown girl walked in, not dressed carefully, and holding a crockpot in her hand, no matter how she looked, she didn't look like she had come to have morning tea, and she was wondering in her heart. I saw this little girl walking up to her and shouting with a smile on her face, "Little brother, is the boss there?" ”

"Girl, what's the matter with you?" Although he didn't come to have morning tea, the little second brother was still quite polite. makes Lin Yujuan feel that this shop is really good, no wonder the business is so good. "I have some delicious side dishes here, I want to ask the boss to try them, and if I can, I want to sell them to you." As soon as Lin Yujuan's words were finished, she saw a middle-aged man come over and ask her, "Little girl, are you looking for me?" ”

"Uncle, you can try the side dishes made by my family, the taste is very delicious. Little brother, please bring a pair of dishes and chopsticks. Xiao Er looked up at the boss's face, and when he saw that he didn't object, he went to bring a pair of chopsticks and a small plate. Lin Yujuan sandwiched out pieces of everything, and also sandwiched a few spicy ones and put them aside. He pointed with his chopsticks, "It's a little spicy here, can you try it later?" ”

"The color is pretty good, I'll try it," the boss also unceremoniously took a carrot and put it in his mouth, "Ah, it's a little sour, but it's quite crispy and flavorful." "I ate a spicy one again, and the spicy one stuck out my tongue. Although it is only slightly spicy, people in this area don't eat spicy. It's a little unaccustomed to eating it with a little spicy at this time. Seeing the shopkeeper sticking out his tongue there, Lin Yujuan wanted to be broken.

"Little brother, quickly get some cold water for the boss to rinse his mouth." Lin Yujuan hurriedly gave a trick. "Okay, okay, don't pull, it's not so spicy anymore. You beckon the guests to go, I'll be here for me. The boss waved his hand again and again, straightened his face, and put on a serious posture.

"Little girl, you also saw it, I'm not used to this spicy, and I don't know if other people can accept it. And my morning tea shop doesn't need this small dish too much, so you might as well go to another house, right? ”

"Boss, isn't there anything that isn't spicy, you just tried it and said yes. Otherwise, I'll give you some free food to try here every day these days. If the guests are quite satisfied, how about you buy from us? Lin Yujuan saw that the shopkeeper was getting impatient, and hurriedly said her plan.

"Okay, you can send a few days to try it first. How do you send it? "The boss thought about it, he didn't lose anything, and when there was a market, he could buy goods on demand, so he agreed.

Lin Xiujuan didn't want to bring the kimchi jar directly, wouldn't it be enough for others to take a few glances and think about it a few times. It's as long as you can hide it from yourself, and there's no way for others to figure it out later. It's better to work hard to send it every morning, and it won't be bad to keep the taste crispy. Anyway, I have to come to the town every day to sell vegetables or something, and I don't delay anything.

"Boss, we are all freshly made to be so crisp and delicious, we will bring it to you every morning." Lin Yujuan said

"Okay, but try to get it as early as possible, preferably at dawn." The boss specially said that he wanted to send it early, and he thought that it was too late to send it, and the morning tea was over. Lin Yujuan hurriedly agreed, resigned, and continued to find the next one. The results are similar, and most bosses are not willing to buy goods rashly. In the end, Lin Yujuan also gave a free trial for a few days before seeing the effect.

By the time Lin Yujuan's more than a dozen shops had run through, it would be more than an hour later. After everything was decided, I went to the porcelain shop where I used to buy jars and bought more than a dozen small jars, which I planned to use for kimchi tomorrow morning. Putting it in a bowl is neither convenient nor hygienic. Seeing that he couldn't take it, the shopkeeper called the guy to take it and send it to Lin Yujuan on the boat.

The guy followed Lin Yujuan all the way to the bridge without going far, and not far in front of him was his brother Yukou. The boat is parked on the river's edge under the bridge. There was a big circle in the middle of the bridge, and people were vaguely arguing about something, Lin Yujuan just wanted to send the small jars to the boat quickly, and she didn't have the heart to watch the excitement. After greeting my brother, I led the shopkeeper to his boat. After putting the jars in the compartment, Lin Yujuan thanked the guy and went ashore, and the gossip came up. Leaned over to Lin Yukou and said, "Brother, what's the matter?" What's the noise over there? ”

"Shh~~, be quiet" Lin Yukou and his sister also bit their ears. This made Lin Yujuan wonder, this family quarreled, so many people watched why my brother was still so chattering. Cooperate with the voice of the ground and ask, "What's the matter, can't you say it out loud?" ”

"Hey, that's a bit of something to do with us." As Lin Yukou was talking, he saw his sister Lin Xiujuan and Little Brother Lin coming over with leftover vegetables. I saw the two of them laughing and being embarrassed, and only Lin Yujuan felt inexplicable.

"Hehe, you know who's arguing there, right? It's Wu Zhaocai and his wife from our village, doesn't her family have more than ten big pumpkins this year? When I got tired of eating, I thought about going to the street and selling a few of them. A few days ago, I sold a big pumpkin, which weighed more than a dozen pounds. As a result, people came to her today to settle accounts. You know what's going on, right? Lin Yukou said and squeezed his eyes.

"Could it be ~ that melon?" Lin Yujuan remembered the specially made pumpkin after such a reminder.

"By the way, when people go home, everything will be smoked. It's been almost two months, and I can't see what it is, but it stinks. I've been looking for her for a few days, and today I saw her on the street selling pumpkins again. It's not like it's a quarrel. ”

"Look, the family knows that they have found a pumpkin seller here and brought them all. Ahh Lin Yujuan listened and looked over there, only to see that the crowd around immediately made way for the person holding the cut half of the pumpkin. This stinky melon was held in front of Wu Zhaocai's family, and the onlookers were all looking towards the buyer. One by one, they blamed this for being too undeserved, where can I eat this melon after buying it.

Wu Zhaocai's wife denied it, first said that she didn't sell it, and then said that she didn't sell this melon, and she planted it, and finally had no choice but to say that this melon had been cut for so many days because his family had broken it. There was a boo around, and there was an older one who couldn't stand it.

"I said, eldest sister, listen to these scoundrel words you said. How many months has this been pulled, and the cut pumpkin stinks like this after only a few days? It was so hot in September, and I cut a winter melon and pumpkin at home and ate it for several days. Have any of you ever seen it stink like this? It was you who sold a big stinky melon to others, and your own house grew rotten in the ground, and the skin on the outside looked good. What is this called, gold and jade are ruined outside. If you don't lose money today, the people in our town won't let you go back. ”

Wu Zhaocai's family looked at this situation, and if they didn't lose money, they didn't want to leave, and they lost money and took a melon to end it. The Wu family only felt that it was too unlucky, and the good melon was actually broken from the inside. When the four sisters and brothers of the Lin family saw this, they didn't dare to talk about it, just waited for Lin Guilu and the Qi family to come back and go home together.
