Chapter 65: The Door Is Opened
Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the brushes and brushes were falling and making a crackling sound, like hail.
I hid and hid in fear for two days in a row, and the string in my brain was tight.
Not to mention a good night's sleep, just squint for a while, and wake up as soon as there is a little noise.
She looked and hid in fear, for fear that her captor was coming. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a frightened bird.
Even if I am lying in the house now, knowing that no one will come here tonight, I am still uneasy in my heart, and I sleep very unsteadily.
The rain continued to rain for several days, and on the eve of the opening, looking at the crackling and crackling sky outside, the evening song was so worried.
On this rainy day, business is definitely not as good as a sunny day. She is now worried that no one will come tomorrow, and she will not be able to do a single business, and then the meat will be spoiled.
When I went to sleep, I was anxious, and I couldn't fall asleep when I turned it over, and Song Jiu couldn't comfort people no matter how relieved he was.
In the end, it was not until midnight that I felt a little sleepy, but I never slept well enough this night.
In the dream, their business failed, and on the first day of opening, no one cared. It only sold a little bit in the first month of opening, and even the book was confiscated, not to mention that it still owed a lot of foreign debts.
In the end, they had no choice but to resell the shop to repay the money, pack up their things and move back to the village. When I went back, I found that the old house had not been inhabited for a long time, and many places had decayed and deteriorated. As soon as I walked in, the rats in the nest were alarmed and scared to scurry around.
One of them rushed up to the beam of the house in a panic, and the other fell unsteadily and saw that it was about to fall on Wan Ge, so frightened that she woke up from her dream with a scream.
Song Jiu, who was already up in the courtyard outside, heard the frightened screams in the house, threw a face towel and rushed into the house: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
"Good...... What a big mouse. Wan Ge sat on the bed and didn't relax a little, thinking about the fat mouse rushing over, goosebumps all over her body.
Hearing that there were rats in the house, Song Jiu's brows tightened, and his eyes swept around the house to no avail. So he took the broom and struck it everywhere.
Wan Ge also came back to his senses at this time, and when he saw Song Jiu banging everywhere, he asked him what he was doing.
"Didn't you say there was a mouse, I'm looking for where it's hiding." Rats are all litters and litters, and it's a hassle if you don't deal with them first.
Hearing that the evening song also came back to me, he immediately blushed and was embarrassed to say that he had dreamed of a mouse and was frightened. It's not that there's a mouse in the house, he's thinking about it.
After speaking, thinking of Song Jiu's appearance of looking for mice everywhere just now, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"......" turned out to be a nightmare.
Song Jiu stood up from the ground with a broom without changing his face, dusted off her body and said that she slept late last night, and it was still dark outside at this time, so let her lie down for a while.
"No, I can't sleep." Worried about starting a business, he simply lifted the quilt and got out of bed to get dressed.
Knowing that she was worried about the good or bad of the business, she estimated that she couldn't sleep when she lay back, so she went with her.
It was still dark outside, and a light rain was falling.
Looking at this day, the evening song couldn't help but chatter: "It would be nice if the rain stopped later." ”
If it stops, people who go out must also write more!
As if in response to her words, as the sky gradually brightened, the rain became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.
At that moment, Wange was so excited that she pulled Song Jiu and called out that the rain had stopped, the rain had stopped, and God was helping them.
In contrast, Song Jiu seemed much calmer, but he was infected by the joy of his little daughter-in-law, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
As the sky became brighter and brighter, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and the long-closed shops officially opened for business amid the sound of firecrackers.
Although there are not many people in this alley, they are still attracted by the sound of firecrackers. Seeing that it was a shop selling braised meat, some people shook a glance and left, and some of them were curious and moved over to take a look.
It's just that there are more people watching and fewer people buying.
After a morning, only one pound was sold in total, which was far more than the expected tickets.
Guarding that there was still a lot of braised meat left, Wange couldn't sit still, and asked Song Jiu if they could sell it out today? There is so much left.
Song Jiu sat on the rattan chair and was not impatient at all, he said that doing business is like this, sometimes business is too good, sometimes no one cares. They have just opened, and few people know about it, so naturally not many people buy it.
Just like when he first sold braised pork earlier, it wasn't that he had been selling for several days to make so much money. Selling a pound this morning seems to him to be okay.
The reason is this reason, and the evening song also understands that it is a little uncontrollable. It's like Song Jiu was sold for braised meat for the first time, and he didn't know the result and was uneasy.
Especially last night, she had such a bad dream, how could she not worry and not be anxious.
Song Jiu shook her head and said that she was too impatient, as the so-called good meal is not afraid of being late. As long as they taste good and the price is reasonable and fair, they don't have to worry about not being able to sell.
"I know." Wan Ge propped her chin and looked at the street where only a few people passed by, and sighed: "Forget it, I'll go back to the house to rest for a while." With that, the man stood up and yawned.
She slept late last night and didn't sleep well, and woke up early this morning. I've been nervous all morning, and I'm already a little tired and sleepy at this time.
She had to be in a hurry here, and she couldn't help much, so it was better to go inside and take a nap than to make a mess here.
Wange went to sleep, and Song Jiu was the only one on the side.
There were fewer people in the afternoon than in the morning, and no one came into the store to take a look after half the afternoon.
Song Yu was sitting idle, thinking that there was no one left and right, or if he closed the stall in advance to make dinner, the store ushered in the first customer of the afternoon, a person who said that it was not an accident.
"I'm sorry, I came to celebrate your opening, but it's only now open." Wang Guixiang limped in with a stick.
She came alone, with no one with her.
When Yang Qian hadn't caught it yet, she dared to go out alone, and she didn't know whether to say that she was bold or big-hearted.
But none of this has anything to do with him.
"I got it." In the face of people, Song Jiu didn't have the slightest intention of getting up to say hello. On the contrary, his attitude was very cold, and his eyes were a little cold when he looked at Wang Guixiang.
Wang Guixiang didn't think that his attitude was bad at all, but he still smiled at people, and the atmosphere became a little strange for a while.
Seeing that the other party didn't care about himself, Wang Guixiang's eyes fell on the braised meat on the table, and he pointed and asked Song Jiu how to sell it.
"Ten pennies and one tael, why do you want to have some?" Song Jiu leaned back on the chair, like a mountain boss, and sat on the ground to raise the price.
Wang Guixiang, who was going to weigh a little, was taken aback by his price, and asked why it was so expensive? Didn't it turn out to sell six wen and one tael?
"Now that you know, what do you ask?" There is an indescribable smell in and out of the words, as if they don't want to see each other.
Wang Guixiang's attitude was also very strange, he obviously noticed it, and he was still smiling. even asked Song Jiu to weigh her half a catty as well as the non-spicy ones.
If the evening song is here, it will be absolutely surprised.
Who doesn't know that the people of the old Liu family in the village are notoriously picky, and they try their best to take advantage of others. If you have a little more, you will roar round, like a big loss.
Just like when they got married, they wanted to take it away as soon as they came to dinner, and they should have made a lot of trouble.
And now this person's attitude is so good not to mention, he is so generous to buy a pound of braised pork, and the price is not cut, can you not be surprised.
"The same half a catty?" Song Yu raised his eyebrows, confirmed it, and then got up and copied the knife to cut half a catty.
It's one thing not to see each other, it's another thing to do business. Who can't get along with money in this world, you say no.
Song Jiu skillfully weighed half a catty, and then slice it, Wang Guixiang stood on the side and watched.
Wrap the braised meat in oiled paper, and then tie it with a thin rope and hand it over: "A pound of braised meat, a total of sixty wen, take it." ”
Wang Guixiang took out sixty texts and handed them to Song Jiu, and suddenly said thank you to people when he received the braised pork.
"Xie doesn't have to, it's a business, everyone takes what they need." Song Yu put the money in his pocket, wiped his hands and lay back on the chair again.
Wang Guixiang stood in place and looked at the person who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep: "No matter what, I still thank you." ”
Seeing that people pretended to be asleep and didn't say anything, Wang Guixiang didn't entangle or pester, and limped away with his things.
The sound of footsteps of different weights gradually faded away on the bluestone slab, Song Jiu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the distant back and shook his head and sighed.
In addition to Wang Guixiang in the afternoon, two old acquaintances came later, chatted with Song Jiu, and bought a few taels before leaving.
Forget it, I sold more than two catties in a day, and it was okay.
Seeing that the sky was dark and gradually began to rain, I guessed that there would be no guests coming to the door. Song Jiu simply closed the door of the store and went to the stove room to get dinner.
Wang Guixiang was riding Uncle Ma's ox cart back to the village, the injury on her leg was not healed, and she couldn't walk for too long, otherwise it would not be conducive to the recovery of the wound. Besides, there are people next to her, and she is safer.
Who knows where Yang Qian is hiding.
If Yang Qian is not caught for a day, she will be in danger for a day. At least there are people next to Uncle Ma's ox cart, and as long as the other party is not stupid, he will not act rashly.
Back at Liu's house, the family sat in the hall with their faces open.
Wang Guixiang walked in with the braised meat, sneered when he saw this posture, and slammed the thing on the table: "What's the matter, what about the three sessions!" ”
"Say, where did you go today?" Lao Liu slapped the table: "Do you know that you can't go out alone now." ”
As soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, the old lady Liu above took over with a cross-eyed eye: "The severity of the matter is not clear, knowing that there is a Yang Qian waiting for your life outside, you dare to run around alone." I'm tired of living, don't bother my grandchildren. ”
Wang Guixiang glanced at the three of them, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Xiaomei next to him: "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Liu Xiaomei's eyes flashed: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother and the mother are a little neutral." It's just that it's not safe outside now, and it's really worrying that you go out alone for a day and don't say where you're going. ”
