Chapter 125: Find a place to set up a stall
After that, the two Huang Congjiang brothers took the sixth sister and the seventh brother back to the stable outside the city.
Huang Liu took the fourth brother, Huang Jiang took the second sister, and Huang Yiyun took the third and fifth sisters.
The three of them went to the city to look for it, but when they were looking for a place to set up a stall, they carried the lotus flowers on their backs one by one, and after finding a place, they could put out the lotus flowers and sell lotus lanterns.
Huang Yiyun saw that several main streets in the city were full of hawkers on both sides, and he couldn't squeeze in if he wanted to.
"Uncle, how do you sell these lanterns? And these, these. What about those? Huang Yiyun saw that there were many stalls selling lanterns on the main street, so he found a stall that sold more lanterns and had a complete range of types, and pointed to several kinds of lanterns and asked.
These lanterns are made of bamboo strips and paper paste, and there are many portraits painted on the lanterns, including plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, people, and animals.
And the bamboo strips are also woven out of a variety of delicate animals, and then pasted on with paper, looking at it from a distance, it is vivid and very exquisite.
However, most of these lanterns are lanterns in your hand, and you can't put them in the water.
"Ten copper plates for this, fifteen for this, twenty copper plates for that." The owner of the stall one by one.
"Uncle, why don't you have the lanterns in the water here?" Huang Yiyun asked.
"Yes, where is it?" The vendor who set up the stall pointed to the lantern road on the side of the lantern.
It's just that those lanterns are also lotus lanterns pasted with a few bamboo strips and paper, and there is also a small section of candles in the middle, which looks very simple, and the weaving is not as delicate as the Huang family, and the color is relatively simple.
"Then, how much does it cost to put these lanterns in the water?"
"These are not expensive, just pick them, and one is only one of ten copper plates."
"Uncle, I'll see if I'll come again, thank you." After Huang Yiyun had a plan in his heart, he pulled the third sister and the fifth sister away.
After that, head to a few other streets.
It's just that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival is used to the season of putting lanterns, especially at night, when there are many people and many lanterns, so the vendors who set up stalls on this day came early and occupied a good place to set up stalls.
Huang Yiyun searched for several streets in a row, but the places on the streets that could set up stalls were occupied, and they couldn't be placed.
At this time, Huang Yiyun was also a little anxious, and later, after dinner, when it gets dark, there will be more and more people, and then there will be more people who put lights, which is a good time to sell lanterns at home.
If you can't find a place to put the lanterns, that's bad.
"Let's go under the bridge." Huang Yiyun suddenly seemed to think of something, and pulled the third and fifth sisters towards the river in the city that ran through the city.
The river leads from the top of the county to the outside of the county, runs through most of the county, and is located in the middle and rear sections of the county.
On both sides of the river are the residents of the county seat, and every other section of the road, there are steps leading to the river, which is convenient for the residents on both sides of the river to wash clothes and furniture.
Moreover, the river is not small, and there are often people rowing boats, carrying some passengers in it and making a little money.
If they had put lanterns today, they would have put them in this river.
Immediately, Huang Yiyun looked for him along the river, and there were many vendors selling lanterns in many places along the river.
Just after Huang Yiyun walked under the bridge in the middle of the whole river, he saw that there was still an empty place on the side of the bridge, and there was no stall, so he was a little strange, and then hurriedly walked forward.
Seeing that there is no stall at the bottom of the bridge, there is no stall in that place, because there are no steps under the bridge to go down the ladder where the lotus flower is placed by the river, and if you want to put the lotus lantern, you have to walk a distance forward to go to the river with a ladder.
As for the riverside with stairs, it has long been occupied by other hawkers, and it is impossible for them to squeeze in to set up stalls, and no one is willing to give up a little space.
After all, one more person to set up a stall will give you more competition, and business will be affected.
However, under this bridge, it is not far from the steps by the river, it is inconvenient to put lanterns, and there is no one here to set up stalls for food and clothing, so there is a vacant land under the bridge.
"The good places are all occupied by people, and there is no place for our family to choose, just here, the third sister, you take the five sisters and the two to the outside of the city, and ask the father to move all the things here, the eldest sister guards this place first, go back quickly, now there are more and more people, and it is time to slowly sell a wave of lotus lanterns first." Don't get separated, you two. Be careful. Huang Yiyun instructed the third sister and the fifth sister to say.
When the two of them heard this, they nodded to Huang Yiyun, and then trotted hand in hand to the place where the donkey cart was placed outside the city.
A quarter of an hour's time.
Huang Congjiang and Huang Conghe carried a basket in front of and behind them, holding a basket in their left hand, and holding the sixth sister and the seventh brother in their right hand.
The third and fifth sisters followed behind them and also walked over with a basket on their backs.
As for the sixth sister and the seventh brother, they also walked in the direction of Huang Yiyun with a basket on their backs.
"Dad, uncle, where are you here? That's it. After Huang Yiyun saw Huang Congjiang and them, he waved and shouted again and again.
"Dad, you and Uncle hang up the things first." Huang Yiyun helped Huang Congjiang unload the back basket with lotus flowers on his body.
As early as when he was at home, Huang Yiyun asked Huang Congjiang to cut a few bamboos with branches.
Two bamboos were placed on the ground, one bamboo was placed horizontally, and many small holes were drilled in the bamboo, which were used to tie lotus flowers and hang them.
In the back, there are rows of lotus lanterns of different colors and varieties.
The two brothers Huang Congjiang quickly erected the bamboo with their hands and feet, and the third sister put the hand-held lanterns, lantern pendants, and four-corner lotus lanterns on the side, and the lotus leaf lotus lanterns on one side, and the zigzag lotus lanterns were strung together and hung one by one.
The lotus flower hanging up is not only beautiful, but also quite imposing in addition to many patterns.
Those who look at it are overwhelmed.
"The eldest sister and the third sister, you guard the fifth sister, the sixth sister and the seventh sister, and your father and your uncle will go to find your mother and aunt first, and then find them back, lest they are still looking for land." Huang Congjiang said after finishing the work of setting up his own stall.
"Well, okay, go early and come back early." Huang Yiyun nodded.
Subsequently, it was decided to price the portable lotus lamp for one of ten copper plates, and the small lotus pendant for five copper plates.
The four-cornered lotus lamp surrounds a large lotus lamp in the middle, priced at twenty-five copper plates, and a lotus leaf lotus lamp on one side, and the lotus lamp in the shape of a zigzag is priced at fifteen copper plates.
