Everything is difficult at the beginning, the business has opened, the autumn color is more confident, and the voice of selling is louder, but unfortunately, no one has come to buy except for those two.

The sun is getting higher and higher, the weather is getting hotter, and there are more people on the docks, and more people are paying attention to the autumn canned sugar water. The business finally opened again, and seven or eight bowls were sold in less than a pillar of incense, and the autumn color was a lot more reassuring, and it seemed that this canned food business could be done.

In a short time, Qiu Se had already received thirteen copper plates, and she saw that many of the people around her had already bought them, and the rest of them just didn't buy them, so she picked up her burden and walked towards the crowded place in the dock.

"Canned sugar water, cool and thirst-quenching, a penny for a bowl!" Now the autumn colors are much smoother to sell.

As soon as I stopped, the autumn-colored wooden barrel attracted a lot of people, some of whom came for the cans of sugar water that they had never seen before, only a penny, not expensive, and fresh; Some people came for the autumn colors, and the docks were basically full of men selling things, and a little girl suddenly appeared and was quite fresh; There are also some people who simply watch others come around and post themselves to join in the fun.

The business was surprisingly smooth, in less than an hour, the bucket of canned sugar water was all sold out, the autumn color did not dare to delay, quickly picked up the burden and rushed home, and was a little glad that thanks to the morning boiled out of a pot, or now go home and cook again What a waste of effort!

When he got home, he lit a fire and boiled a pot of water to wash the wooden barrel, brushed the wooden barrel containing the canned food, and put the bowl in the other bucket into the boiling water and scalded it, and then poured the boiled can into the wooden barrel, and poured a small half bucket of water into the bucket containing the bowl.

"Big girl, what are you doing with your burden this morning?" Mrs. Ding stood at the door of the east chamber and asked curiously.

Qiu Se covered the bucket of canned food with cotton cloth, and then stood up and rubbed his sore shoulder, "It's nothing, just do a small business, and make money to pay the rent." ”

As soon as the rent was mentioned, Mrs. Ding didn't say anything, looked at the canned sugar water and asked, "What is this, is it easy to sell?" ”

Looking at Mrs. Ding's eyes shining, a trace of impatience rose in Qiu Se's heart, this Mrs. Ding is really nosy, "Does the old lady want to try it?" I'll sell you a bowl for a penny, and I'll sell you two bowls for a penny if you want milk! ”

"What? Where do you still need money? Mrs. Ding's face froze with a half-smile, "Cut, the richer you are, the more you pick, and even the elders don't know how to be filial." Seeing that the autumn color didn't talk, Mrs. Ding left angrily.

"Big girl, why don't you put out two bowls for everyone to taste, no matter how you say it, it's also a family." Wu heard Mrs. Ding's words in the house, and persuaded with some uneasiness.

"Why won't the family buy you ginseng to save your life? The family still cares about me asking for rent and firewood money! Qiu Se poured the remaining cans from the pot into a bowl and handed it to Wu, "There is still a little bit to eat, you can make a mat first." ”

Wu half leaned on the quilt and refused: "I'm not hungry when I lie down all day, you might as well sell it for money." ”

"It's not bad to sell this bowl for money, and besides, Lang Zhong specially told you to make up for what you eat." Qiu Se handed the bowl to Wu, "You have a good rest, don't let her walk around when Sanya comes back, you won't even have an errand runner when you have anything." ”

"I'm much better now, Sanya went to the embroidery shop to get me a job, the medicine is so expensive, I can't always lie down like a waste." Wu frowned.

Wu's body is just a little better, and he thinks about medicine money, which is much stronger than the Ding family who takes it for granted, and much stronger than Ding Dafu, who always says that he has not yet acted. After thinking about it, Qiu Se still comforted: "Don't think so much about it first, if you have a good fetus, it's okay if you don't take those medicines, I'll go first!" ”

As he spoke, Autumn Colors lowered the curtain and picked up the flat pole and went out the door. The first time I walked with a burden, Qiu Se felt that he couldn't walk any way, the two buckets swayed forward and backward, and the soup inside soaked the cotton cloth on them, Qiu Se grabbed the rope on the two buckets with both hands, trying to maintain his balance, and finally arrived at the dock one by one.

When the autumn color came to the wharf again, it was almost noon, and there seemed to be a lot more people on the wharf, most of the laborers were sitting in the shade or sitting or lying down, and some people were nibbling on dry food with the cold water brought from home, and the few vendors carrying the baskets were also wandering around there.

I didn't care about resting, and Qiu Se carried the burden all the way to the crowded place and shouted, "Canned sugar water, cool and thirst-quenching, a penny and a bowl!" ”

Soon, the burden of Autumn Color was surrounded again, and the ten bowls in the bucket were occupied, and the later people had to wait aside, and the person who drank the canned food paid for the bowl, and the Autumn Color immediately washed the dishes with the water in the barrel and wiped them with a cotton cloth before serving them to the next one.

"You little girl is quite clean, the porridge seller over there is not as particular as you, and it is usually the people in the back who eat the saliva of the people in front." A young man said as he drank a can.

The person next to him was embarrassed, "As far as you are concerned, don't you usually eat outside?" Why did the sun hit the west and come out today. ”

The young man shook his head, "Isn't it that I haven't eaten this, besides, when I look at the little girl, it's very clean, you see, isn't it, it's clean and delicious." ”

"Well, yes, the first day cow egg said that this canned food is cheap and delicious, I still don't believe it!" The other answered.

……

On the other side, the father and son of the Ding family had just finished their work and stood not far from the autumn colors and looked this way.

"Big brother, you see that the woman who sells things over there is a big girl, right?!" Ding Sanfu looked at a lot of people around Qiuse, and his eyes were a little hot, so many people, how much money does that girl have to make! Could it be that her mother-in-law said that this girl still has silver, you see that she is not all doing business.

Ding Laohan's eyes were also round, "What is this selling?" I didn't discuss it with my family. ”

Ding Erfu looked at the eldest brother and then at Ding Laohan, and said, "Big brother, you let the eldest girl come over and sell it, and my father can help take care of it." ”

Ding Dafu couldn't think of his father and two younger brothers, and he didn't want to think about it, he had only learned to listen to his parents since he was a child, and he still did, but he knew that this newly returned daughter didn't want to see his father and brother, so in order to prevent them from quarreling on the dock, he still refused the second brother's proposal.

"Big girl, I want to make some money to pay the rent, I'll just be alone, dad rest." Saying that, Ding Dafu walked towards the autumn color without looking back.

As soon as he heard the rent, Ding Laohan, who originally wanted to come with him, put down the feet that had been lifted and took his second and third sons to a shady place to rest. Ding Erfu didn't have any other ideas, but he felt that these nieces were very powerful: Ding Sanfu felt a little pity, if they went to Qiuse's side or the eldest brother brought her over, he was afraid that he would be able to taste some of the food he sold.

……

finally sent off this wave of guests, and before the autumn color had time to wipe the sweat from her head, another person stood in front of her.

"Hello, come to a bowl of candy ......" looked up, and the autumn color was stunned for a moment.

"Big girl, I see you're very busy here, let me help you." As soon as Ding Dafu came back from the work, he saw that his daughter's business seemed to be a little too busy, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still said hello to Ding Laohan.

"Daddy!" Qiu Se screamed and filled Ding Dafu with a bowl of canned food, "You drink the canned food first and wipe your sweat!" "No matter what, Ding Dafu has this heart, and she is already very satisfied.

Ding Dafu hesitated, and the words that he wanted to refuse changed to "I'm here to help you!" Why don't you serve a bowl to your grandfather, your grandfather was tired enough just now......"

Qiu's face stiffened a little, and she poured the can back into the bucket, "I don't have much left, I have to sell it for a while!" ”

Ding Dafu saw that his daughter's face was not good, and he no longer mentioned the matter of giving the canned food to Ding Laohan, but just squatted down and washed the dishes in a muffled voice. Qiu Se was also angry enough to see him like this, and was interrupted when he wanted to tell him again that he had no obligation to honor the Ding family.

A man rushed over and shouted at Autumn Color, startling everyone nearby and looking over at Autumn Color.

"Who told you to sell on my site, huh? Do you know that you robbed me of my business? Hurry up and let me go, I'll tell you, the shopkeeper of Li Kee Wine Store over there is my uncle, if you don't leave, I'll let my uncle clean you up! A young man in his twenties pointed at his autumn-colored nose and cursed, with a load at his feet.

This person is the vendor who sells porridge and water called Ergou, the porridge he sells on weekdays is so thin that there are almost no rice grains in sight, and occasionally there is leftover porridge from the previous day mixed in it, and the people on the dock are generally unwilling to buy his porridge to drink unless they are too thirsty, so Ergou sometimes can't even sell a bucket of porridge and water all day long.

Today he saw Qiu Se come to sell canned food, and he didn't care at first, but after a while, she sold out a bucket, and now she picked another bucket, and saw that all the guests who disdained him were surrounding her, and he was angry, and saw that Qiu Se was just a woman, so he came to find fault.

When the people around saw this situation, they all avoided it in an uproar, and gathered not far away to watch the excitement, even the two people who wanted to buy canned food also picked up the money and left, after all, no one wanted to cause trouble, not to mention that the two dogs were not good people on the dock, and the people who watched the excitement surrounded the two dogs and the autumn colors in a circle.

As soon as Qiu Se saw that the business was disrupted, there was a fire in his heart, and he spoke a little impulsively, "What is your territory, where is your name written?" ”

Ergou didn't expect a girl's family in Qiushi to dare to choke with him, and he was so angry that there was smoke on his head, "This dock is all my territory, and I don't ask who my Ergou is, tell you, I have acquaintances in the yamen!" Spread wild on my turf, believe it or not I want you to look good! ”

Qiu Se was about to speak when Ding Dafu pulled him back, only to see him standing beside Qiu Se, bending down at Ergou to apologize, "I'm sorry, little brother, don't be angry, let's go." He whispered to his daughter on the side: "Don't sell it, go home quickly!" ”

Qiu Se was stunned, she thought that Ding Dafu was blocking in front of her to be angry for her, but she didn't expect to go home by herself, so she couldn't help but say angrily: "Why let me go, this is not his house." ”
