The two people who know the answer to this question, one is chewing the text and chewing the words, and the study hall is studying the history books; The other person is in a small town, busy setting up a stall to sell window flowers!

"Childe, how do you sell this?" A woman in colorful clothes flew towards Xiaoguo, and asked in a coquettish voice.

Xiaoguo looked at her numb face, and replied with a flying eye without changing her face: "Beauty, the original price is eight copper plates, and you can count five copper plates for your sister!" ”

The woman replied with a red face and said, "Childe, your mouth is so sweet!" I want them all! ”

"Oh, thank you, beautiful sister's support!" Xiao Guomei smiled and smiled.

"Childe, come and see, how much is this?" A short and fat woman next to her was not far behind.

"Hey, come on! What's this? Give the beauty a discount, count the sister six copper plates! Xiaoguo hurriedly replied with a smile.

Jiang Shang had already gone from being stunned to turning a blind eye to the scene in front of him.

The last set of window grilles was also sold, and Jiang Shang put away the money bag and began to collect the stall.

Xiao Guo still spread his hands: "If I knew earlier, I should have brought more window flowers!" ”

The father and daughter returned to the inn where they were staying.

Jiang Shang poured all the bags full of copper coins on the table and counted them carefully one by one.

Xiaoguo made a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for his father-in-law, and then held the cup himself and drank it slowly.

I talked non-stop all morning, and as soon as I stopped, I felt that my throat was smoking.

After Xiaoguo drank two pots of tea, Jiang Shang finally counted the number of copper plates: "Just one or two silver!" ”

"What? After a busy morning, I earned a tael of silver? Xiaoguo was surprised.

Jiang Shang nodded and smiled: "It's already a lot, this tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend a month!" ”

Xiaoguo still hasn't figured out how much equivalent value a tael of silver can produce in this world.

On weekdays, she sells things, and she touches a few pieces of silver to pay at random, and she likes to pick some sellers who look hard, and when she sees that people are having a hard time, she will help the poor and no longer want to get back the change.

There are so many taels of silver, I can't complain that they are grateful one by one!

Xiaoguo suddenly realized, and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart.

On the way back, Xiaoguo bought a piece of pork ribs, and picked a winter melon, cabbage and other vegetables from an old man who bought vegetables.

This inn does not provide meals, Xiaoguo rented an abandoned kitchen in the backyard at a low price, cleaned it a little, but it was barely usable.

Wash the rice and put it in the pot to steam, take out the chopped pork ribs and wash them.

Start another stove, put water in the pot, put the pork ribs into the pot, pour in a little white wine, just wait for the water to boil, remove the pork ribs and control the water.

Put water in the pot, put the pork ribs in, then add green onions, ginger, star anise, bay leaves and other condiments, stew slowly, just wait for the ribs to be cooked thoroughly, then add an appropriate amount of salt powder and winter melon slices, and then stew for half a column of fragrant time, sprinkle green onion and coriander out of the pot!

When the aroma of meat wafted out of the pot, Xiaoguo had already mixed a cold dish neatly, and in addition, a small cabbage was stir-fried.

The pork ribs and winter melon soup are fragrant but not greasy, and its flavor is endless; The cold dish is filled with special sesame oil, chili oil and sesame oil, which is crisp and delicious, spicy and delicious!

Served with refreshing cabbage and fragrant white rice, it makes people have an appetite, and they can't help but want to eat and enjoy it!

Jiang Shanglian drank three bowls of pork rib soup, and after eating three bowls of rice, he wiped his mouth unsatisfied, put down the rice bowl, and suggested with a smile: "Girl, let's go out for a walk later!" Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything for dinner! ”

Xiaoguo leaned on the wooden chair with a round belly, and agreed: "But that's the case!" ”

Since Xiaoguo took over this body, the body has gradually moved from thin to round!

It's not okay to go on like this, you have to eat leisurely!

In her previous life, she was a wild eater and not fat physique, it seems that that special physique did not follow, and now, if she eats too much, her body will rub and increase her flesh!

The town where Xiaoguo is now located is mainly based on ceramic craftsmanship, but porcelain is not suitable for transportation, and because it is too large and cheap, they decisively gave up the idea of selling.

The area of the town is larger than that of the towns that passed through before.

Xiaoguo and they walked along the alley for nearly two hours before they saw the roadside shops and pedestrians thinning out, almost to the end of the town.

The father and daughter were about to turn around and turn back, when they heard a cry of "woo" coming from the alley next to them.

An old voice said, "Yue'er, don't cry!" Daddy posted a notice to rent and sell the shop left by his ancestors! Before, the boss of the village wanted to give 50 taels of silver, but his father refused! Now that my father is begging him, I think he can sell it for twenty or thirty taels for your mother's burial, which is more than enough! ”

A young girl sobbed: "Daddy, the shop is our business, the ancestors have passed down from generation to generation!" Over the years, the family has been tight, and you and your mother have gritted their teeth and survived! Now that it's out, won't all the previous efforts be nullified? ”

The old man sighed and said, "The ancestors of the merchants, knowing our situation, will understand us!" ”

The girl still cried: "My mother knows everything, how can she be at ease?" Otherwise, if my father sells me, I may be able to sell it at a good price and make up enough money for my mother's coffin! ”

The old man sighed: "Yue'er, don't say stupid things! Your mother knows that you sold your body to bury her, so she won't be at ease! ”

The girl said, "But ......"

The old man intercepted her words and sighed: "The shop is just an object after all, I think my mother and I have been busy day and night all our lives because of it, and we have worked extremely hard!" If it weren't for it, your mother would have ...... early It wasn't until your mother went that my father woke up, a living person, why bother to put a lifetime into a sentence left a hundred years ago for the sake of a dead person! Just because our ancestors were like that, so should we be like that? If one day, the old house collapses, how can our children and grandchildren, who are not clothed, have the ability to renovate and preserve it? ”

"Daddy, have you really made up your mind?" Girlhood Ai Ai Dao.

"Don't worry, Yue'er! Let's go, Daddy will send you home, and then go to Boss Zhuang! The old man said, although his tone was as relaxed as possible, it still made people feel sad to speak.

The sound of the conversation between the two gradually drifted away, presumably gradually drifting away.

The conversation between the father and daughter, Xiaoguo and Jiang Shang listened to it outside the alley.

"Father-in-law......" Xiaoguo said in a low voice, wanting to stop talking.

Jiang Shang naturally saw her thoughts, he himself was also a poor person, and he could most deeply understand the sorrow of people at the bottom, knowing that Xiaoguo was the most soft-hearted and kind-hearted, he nodded with relief and smiled: "Girl, whatever you want, go!" ”

Xiaoguo was encouraged by her father-in-law, and her mood was shocked, she ran quickly towards the alley, and saw two thin figures, one tall and one short, supporting each other, and walking slowly into the depths of the alley.

"Wait a minute, two!" Xiaoguo ran over with a "snort".

When the father and daughter heard the shouting, they stopped and turned their heads in surprise.

I saw a young man dressed in moon-white clothes and with an unusually delicate appearance, panting and running to them.

"This son, I don't know what's going on?" The old man asked.

Xiaoguo looked at the two of them up close, and saw that although their clothes had faded after washing, they were very clean and tidy.

The old man is about the same age as Jiang Shang, about fifty years old, with gray sideburns, tall and thin, haggard face, and bloodshot eyes, showing that he has not had a good rest for a long time, but his eyes are still firm!

The girl's appearance of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of unusually charming eyes, adds a lot of points to a slightly ordinary face.

She was looking timidly at the person in front of her with red eyes at this time.

Xiaoguo waited for his breathing to calm down, and made a series of things like others, and said, "I take the liberty of asking, uncle, do you have a shop to sell out?" ”

The old man was surprised: "How did Childe know?" ”

Xiaoguo scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Fang Cai and my father were passing by the street and accidentally overheard the conversation between you and Ling Qianjin. ”

Could it be that he heard that his family was experiencing difficulties and planned to take advantage of the fire to rob and buy the shop at a low price? Or is there really an intention to buy it?

If it's the former, you don't have to pay attention to it, if it's the latter, discuss it well, maybe you can compare, ask the profiteer of the boss of the village, take more silver taels, and give more dowry to Yue'er!

The old man has seen a lot of deception in his life, and he will inevitably plan for the bad in advance.

"I see!" The old man looked at Xiaoguo quietly, and saw that her eyes were clear, but she did not look like the cunning man.

"I don't know where the old man's shop is, and what kind of industry he is engaged in now?" Xiao Guo naturally saw the suspicion in his eyes and said calmly.

"Yue'er, you go home by yourself first, and this little boy and I will go to the shop to have a look!" The old man said softly to his daughter.

Yue'er answered in a low voice, and peeked at Xiaoguo curiously a few times before slowly walking forward.

"Childe, please come here!" The old man said, "The little old man's name is Shang Lian, I don't know what to call the son, and the accent doesn't look like a local." ”

Xiaoguo hurriedly said: "Under the surname Ma, he is a person from Hong Yan, and he and his father-in-law are passing through here, so they want to set up a shop here and make a foothold." ”

Jiang Shang happened to come over, and Xiao Guo hurriedly introduced: "Boss Shang, this is my father-in-law!" ”

"Under Jiang Shang! Boss Shang, if Yizi's words are abrupt, please forgive me! Jiang Shang said.

Shang Lian saw that he had a righteous face, his speech and demeanor were calm, and his heart was more steady, and he hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Where, where!" Don't call me the boss, just call me an old businessman! ”

On the way, Shang Lian had already told the two of them about the relevant shops.

The merchant runs a cloth village, and in the heyday of the ancestors, the cloth village has even become the largest cloth shop within a radius of 100 miles!

Who would have expected that later, the times gradually changed, the management methods and business methods, and the unchanged merchant Buzhuang gradually declined, and when Jiang Lian came here, he even had no money to buy again.

However, the merchant has ancestral teachings, and the cloth village wants children and grandchildren, and it will continue to open.

If there is no goods to sell, the door cannot be closed, and the government has to pay taxes.

Shang Lian and his wife had to go around looking for odd jobs to earn some money for tax payment and living expenses.

Two days ago, Shang Lian's wife, who became ill due to overwork and had no money for medical treatment, passed away.

The poor merchant, who has the largest cloth village in town, has no money to bury his daughter-in-law.
