Chapter 25: Robbery

By mid-afternoon, the five children, together with an adult from the Bai family, had made a total of hundreds of bouquets of different colors without stopping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Not long after, Bai Shi saw that it was not early, and when it was time to make a fire to cook, he got up and went back first.

Yu Qiao looked at the countless bouquets of flowers standing in the bamboo basket under the table, and then looked at the wildflowers in the small half yard, and decided to stop there.

Early the next morning, Yu Qiao, Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin, who had breakfast, carried two large baskets of bouquets and drove the ox cart onto the main road to Linxian.

Yu Qiao originally planned to go to the town to sell them, but after thinking about it at night, he felt that the market in the town was too small, and the bustling street was just the entrance of the vegetable market.

Bouquets are not like potted plants, they can be placed in any corner of the room as a landscape for enjoyment, even if there are many more pots, it doesn't matter, horizontal and vertical are alive. If you don't get nourished by water, it will wither in a few days, and you can only hold it in your hand to enjoy it.

If the sales are not good and the sales are slow, then the bouquets they have worked so hard to make will have to rot in their own hands, so it is better to go directly to Linxian to make a big sum and sell these bouquets as soon as possible.

Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin have no objection to this, and they all agree.

Yu Xi was too young, Yu Qiao and others were afraid that she would get lost, and her leg injury was not healed, so she was forced to stay at home.

Walking from Yujia Village to Linxian County takes more than half a day's foot. If you follow the normal speed of a scalper trot, it will take two hours. But if the driver is fast, it will only take nearly an hour.

In order to save the journey back and forth, Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan waved their whips and gave the cow's ass a little from time to time. The cow was in pain, running fast all the way, shaking the cart behind him to sway left and right, and Yu Qiao and Yu Qin, who were sitting in the back, were so upturned that they almost vomited out their breakfast.

Rao is heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were also trembling, and they still held the bamboo handle on the top of the bamboo basket with one free hand, for fear that the basket would be turned upside down, and scattered the bouquets in the basket.

Yu Qiao was afraid that the dust stirred up along the way would drift into the bouquet and ruin his appearance, so he specially brought out two pieces of torn clothes from home and covered them on the basket to cover the bouquet tightly.

When it was approaching an hour, Yu Qiao and the others arrived in Linxian without saying a word.

Yu Qiao and Yu Qin stepped down from the ox cart hand in hand, feeling as if their whole body was about to fall apart, indescribably sore, even Yu Fenghao and Yu Qingnan, who were sitting in front.

It's uncomfortable, and you still have to think about where this cow goes. This time, they were going to sell them separately, and where the cattle would go was a big problem. It must not be possible to find a random place to tie it there, otherwise they will walk on the front foot, and the cow will have to be led by the hand on the back foot, and after running so far, it should be hungry and need to be fed some fodder.

Yu Qiao thought, standing on the side of the road in Linxian County, looking around.

They took a shortcut to enter from the north gate of Linxian, and now the streets are mostly houses with closed doors and windows on both sides, few shops, and not many pedestrians.

This is the first time Yu Qiao has come to the county, and only Yu Fenghao has come to the county once, and that time is Yu Huaye to get married, when he came to see off his relatives, but because of the past few years, and he was still young at that time, he has little impression of Linxian now.

Yu Qiao had seen on TV that inns generally have stables to provide forage and water, so that when guests are resting, the accompanying cattle and horses can also rest and eat and drink. However, she looked around, but she couldn't find a storefront that resembled an inn, some small shops selling groceries and 'jingle bells'.

"We'll have to find an inn and settle the cows."

"A few years ago, when my sister-in-law got married, the procession came in from the east gate, and I remember that the east gate was very prosperous at that time, and there were a lot of people." Yu Fenghao said after thinking about it carefully.

"Then let's go to the East Gate." As soon as Yu Qingnan's voice fell, Yu Qiao and the others got into the carriage again.

This time he was not in a hurry, Yu Qingnan and Yu Fenghao drove the ox cart slower, so it was not as bumpy and unbearable as when they came.

When Fang drove to the east, Yu Qiao and the others saw that the streets here were much more prosperous than those in the more remote north.

There are vendors on the street with two chests on their shoulders, and there are beautiful headbands..... there are hunters with long forks carrying game to the roadside, and there are all kinds of other things they have never seen before.

It's many times more prosperous and lively than their town.

When he came across a three-story attic that resembled an inn, Yu Qingnan stopped the ox cart.

Yu Qiao turned his head and saw a red plaque hanging on the top of the beam on the first floor. ā€ć€‚

Xiao Eryun at the door looked for prestige, and when he saw that it was a few and a half old children, he withdrew his gaze and ignored it.

After a while, when a young man dressed luxuriously, led three or four men who were almost the same age and dressed luxuriously, and came down from the horse one after another, Xiao Er immediately put on a smiling face and stepped forward, and said in a crisp voice: "The guest officer is here, please come inside, please inside, there are many elegant seats inside, a few people .......can sit casually."

"Hmm," the young man nodded leisurely, and said, "Get some good fodder to feed our horses, and we will have to rely on them to go to the suburbs to pass the time this afternoon." ā€

"Don't worry, the hay in the stables of our store will be brought in early every morning, fresh and tender." Xiao Er said as he led the guests into the door.

When Yu Qiao heard this, he looked at Yu Fenghao, Yu Qingnan, and Yu Qin beside him, and they all had a touch of joy on their faces.

Not long after, when Xiao Er walked out slowly, playing with a few copper plates in his hand with a smile, Yu Qiao got out of the car and stepped forward.

"Little second brother, can you do me a favor?" After Yu Qiao finished speaking, seeing that Xiao Er was ignoring her, he took out twenty copper plates from the hidden pocket of his sleeve.

At the age of twenty-five or sixteen years younger, his skin was a little black and yellow, his appearance was quite delicate, and his thin body was wearing a light gray narrow-sleeved robe. He saw Yu Qiao take out so many copper plates at once, and looked at Yu Qiao and the others with a pair of slender eyes, and asked curiously, "What are you busy with?" ā€

"We have something to do, can you help us keep an eye on the cows and feed us some hay? We'll be here in a moment. Yu Qiao replied.

Xiao Er listened, nodded without thinking, and waved his hand happily: "Little thing." ā€

After solving the problem of the cow, the two brothers and sisters of Yu Qiao and the two brothers and sisters of Yu Qingnan divided into two teams according to the strategy agreed before they came, went separately to sell bouquets in the basket on the street, and went to the Yuelai Inn every half an hour to meet at the Yuelai Inn, so as not to get lost or what happened, but they did not know.

Yu Qiao went in and out of several streets for a long time, and then picked a street that resold silk ready-to-wear and rouge gouache and walked in, and Yu Fenghao carried a heavier bamboo basket beside her.

When he walked to the place where there were more people in the middle, Yu Qiao lifted the clothes covering the basket, and then picked out a dozen bouquets and held them in his arms, the bouquets were colorful and beautiful. Before she could sell it, she suddenly attracted the attention of the people around her, especially the young girl and the newly married woman, who had never seen such a delicate bouquet, and immediately surrounded Yu Qiao and Yu Fenghao.

"Don't worry, don't worry, come one by one, oh my God!" Yu Qiao didn't expect these women to be so crazy, and hurriedly collected money with one hand and spent with the other.

Considering that it was sold as a single bouquet, she originally planned to price it at a price of ten wen per branch, but now that there was such a crazy rush, she immediately raised the price to twenty wen!
