Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Great Bowl of Chicken Soup

Xu Xi feels that Xu Xue can take the path of a professional writer. As long as you practice, learn how to write novels, and write a few more, you will definitely be able to write words that can be sold for money.

There were no major wars and disasters in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. If you have a good life and have no worries about food and clothing, you must have fun. In an age when there was no other form of entertainment, the script was a great pastime for the literate.

Xu Xi is from the era when online literature was popular, and she doesn't write novels herself, but she has read a lot. At least in terms of brain holes, she can provide Xu Xue with a lot of help.

"Really? Can I sell my notebook? Xu Xue's face was full of surprise.

"If you practice hard, you will definitely be able to do it. Maybe you will become a great writer in the future. Xu Xi poured her a large bowl of chicken soup again.

Xu Xue was suddenly full of pride: "Okay, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll write a script for you to see in the near future." ”

This night, Xu Yongyi and his wife were excited about the upcoming business, and discussed going to the county the day after tomorrow to have a look, tidy up the house, and then see which place is suitable for setting up a stall. In the case of setting up stalls, you have to inquire with some small traders in the city to see what you pay attention to in terms of taxes and protection fees, and you have to prepare things to worship at the wharf where you should worship, so as not to be troubled by errands or ruffians after opening.

In short, when doing business, there are many things to do, and there are a lot of things to be busy, but it is not just a matter of finding a place to put things away.

It's just that tomorrow is the day when the Hou Mansion comes to pick up Xu Xi, and no matter how anxious they are, they can't leave Xu Xi to do business, so they can only wait until the day after tomorrow.

In the east wing, Xu Xue was thinking about her own script, and she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

The Xu family has three children, the age difference between the three is not much, they have played together since childhood, and they have deep feelings, and Xu Chongwen loves Xu Xi as his own sister. Although he was mentally prepared when the Hou Mansion came to pick up people that day, he heard that Xu Xi was going back to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, and he tossed and turned that night, and it took a while before falling asleep.

Only Xu Xi, who has a big heart, slept until dawn and didn't even have a dream.

When he got up the next day, Xie Shi said to Xu Xi: "Do you think you want to pack something?" ”

She mentioned it yesterday, Xu Xi said that she was not in a hurry, she thought that she didn't have any good things for Xu Xi to bring into the Hou Mansion, so she didn't rush to pack up for Xu Xi.

Xu Xi shook his head: "No need to clean up." The Hou Mansion can't not prepare daily necessities for me, right? ”

In addition to a few half-new clothes and a silver hairpin and a silver bracelet left by the Lin family, the most valuable things are the more than 20 books and the four treasures of the study left by Xu Yongzeng. These things are quite valuable in the eyes of the villagers; But in the eyes of the Hou Mansion, where the slaves all wore gold and silver, it was worthless. The most important thing is that these things belong to the Xu family, and Xu Xi will naturally not take them away.

Xie Shi looked around the house for a week, and he was also helpless. She knew that if she insisted that Xu Xi bring these broken copper and iron, it would only make the Hou Mansion look at Xu Xi's jokes.

Xu Xi folded up a few design drawings he drew last night, put them in a small wooden box, and handed them to Xu Xue, who came in with Xie: "You help keep it, and when we have time to leave the academy, we will take it to the silver building and ask to see if we can sell it for a price." ”

Xu Xue hurriedly took it and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of it." ”

"Let's go, go out to dinner." Xu Xi pulled Xie out of the room.

Because they only eat twice a day, the Xu family's breakfast is not so early. But Xie didn't know when the Hou Mansion would come to pick him up, and he didn't know if Xu Xi could eat when he entered the Hou Mansion, so he got up early to make the meal and let Xu Xi eat before setting off.

Xu Chongwen also took leave today and waited at home to see his cousin off.

The family sat down, and Xu Xi said to Xu Yongyi uneasily: "Uncle, when you make food, you must be clean." In the house in our county, the walls have to be repainted, and the yard has been cleaned up again, so as to make the house as clean as possible. In addition, you should also buy some new large clay pots, which are specially used for mixing vegetables, and don't use these pots for washing vegetables and clothes. In addition, at the beginning, the amount of mixed vegetables would rather be less than more. It looks like it's not enough to sell and mix again. Now that the weather is hot, don't sell spoiled cold dishes, which will make people eat bad stomachs and lose their reputation. ”

Xu Yongyi agrees with the suggestion of mixing less cold dishes at a time; The clay pot is dedicated, and he can understand it. It's just that he doesn't feel the need to paint the walls and tidy up the yard. That's another expense. There are so many places to spend money at home, how can you pay attention to these?

He said, "We don't sell cold vegetables at home. There's no need to paint the walls and tidy up the yard, right? ”

"It would be fine if we did something else. But when it comes to eating, the most important thing is hygiene. If the walls of the house are pitch black, the sewage in the yard is cross-flowing, and flies and mosquitoes are flying everywhere, do you dare to buy his cold dishes after seeing such an environment? Some neighbors in the neighborhood are jealous of our family's money, and if these situations are spread, can our cold dishes still be sold? If you want to make this business bigger and longer, you must work the details, and you must pay attention to the places you should pay attention to at the beginning. ”
