Chapter 61, setting up a stall
The two walked to the side of the little third son, the little third son helped early to occupy a conspicuous and spacious position, seeing the two coming, he hurriedly beckoned, Jiang Yuanyuan trotted over, smiled and touched the little third son's head.
"Thank you for today, too." Saying that, Jiang Yuanyuan handed the prepared ten cents to Xiao Sanzi, Xiao Sanzi smiled and squinted, nodded very excitedly, held the money, and carefully took out a tattered money bag from his chest, he put the money in it, put it in his chest, and patted it with satisfaction.
"Thank you, sister, thank you, brother." The third son said, "Then I'll leave first, and if you have something, look for me." ”
"Hmmm! Be careful. Jiang Yuanyuan shouted, the little third son was from the crowd for a while, he took two orders of business every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and went to the back of the restaurant at noon to help people take out the garbage, and in the middle of the free time, he went to have a meal, the little third son and Jiang Yuanyuan said that he liked the feeling of earning money to eat with his own hands.
Standing on this stall, Jiang Yuanyuan looked left and right, one on both sides was selling wood carvings, and the other was buying eggs, which did not conflict with her at all, but it was not beneficial.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Rong brought their things over, they put all the jam in the shop of Master Guo and their son, there was a stove, a few small benches and a box, the box contained ten jars of marmalade and some bowls, set up the stove and boiled water, and the two sat on the small bench to start their work today.
The reason why the stalls here don't want money is because this is the poorest street in the city, the population is very chaotic, there are all kinds of sales, and there are a lot of black shops, but there are a lot of strange things here, only people who know how to come back here to Taobao, and there are two or three time-honored small shops here, and there are many people who come to this city every day, but the ones who will really find this side are the people who really understand.
The population flow is not large, but it is very chaotic, the government does not care about this side, and the gangsters naturally do not dare to come here to collect any protection money, here, maybe the child in front of you who doesn't understand anything is the child of some powerful people you can't afford to offend, this probability is not big, but no one dares to take this risk.
There is definitely no money to be made by setting up a stall here, and people who come and go either can't afford to buy your things, don't bother to take a look at it, and those who can't afford to pay the protection fee are forced to come here.
I glanced at the eggs sold by the mother-in-law on the left, a basket, flat and neat, it looks like there are only about a dozen eggs, which is estimated to be the eggs that people saved for a month to save on the food festival.
The stall on the right is a middle-aged man, his face is dark, yellow and thin, he is deeply twisted every day, he looks very irritable, he is sitting on the ground, in front of him there are more than a dozen statues that are not very good-looking, all of them are some simple things, rabbits, snakes, cats, complex ones I don't see.
The hot water boiled, Jiang Yuanyuan took out the jam they had opened, gently unscrewed it, it was fragrant, took out two bowls, scooped out two spoons with a spoon, poured hot water, and the delicious orange water came out at once.
"Mother-in-law, let's drink some orange water that we make ourselves." Jiang Yuanyuan said softly with water, her mother-in-law turned her head and looked, she looked like she was half a hundred, her hair was a little gray, her eyes were slightly open, and she looked listless.
"Thank you!" The mother-in-law said with a smile, she took it and held it in her hand and drank some, Sheng Rong handed another bowl of orange water to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man took a sip and didn't say anything, but his eyes glanced at it several times intentionally or unintentionally, Sheng Rong didn't see it, scalded the bowl with hot water, and then took out their basin, poured some hot water into it, and soaked the bowl in it.
"The husband and wife came out to set up a stall?" After drinking the orange water, the mother-in-law here suddenly asked, Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and then blushed, she quickly shook her head, feeling that her neck was red.
"It's not a husband and wife now, but it will be in the future." Sheng Rong answered with a smile, he washed the bowl and threw it into the basin.
"The two are happy!" The mother-in-law nodded knowingly, "Very good." ”
After doing this for a while, a man came running up, "Oh, you're here, hurry up, bring me a bowl." ”
"Brother Wang, you look very happy today!" Jiang Yuanyuan quickly washed a bowl with her hands and feet, and said loudly when she handed it over.
"Isn't it!" Xiao Wang smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I sold three hairpins in one morning, and the money for today's meal has been settled." ”
After speaking, Xiao Wang held the orange water and drank it gurgling, the water for the oranges was put by them for a while, the weather was cold, the water was not so hot after a while, knowing Xiao Wang's habits, Jiang Yuanyuan specially gave a night of warmth.
"Oh, it's comfortable to drink this water in this cold weather." Xiao Wang smashed his mouth and said, "Bring me another bowl of hot food, and I'll bring you the bowl later." ”
"Huh! Okay. Jiang Yuanyuan took the bowl, Sheng Rong naturally took the bowl from Jiang Yuanyuan's hand, and flushed a bowl slipperily, when pouring hot water, Sheng Rong carefully raised his hand to block it, afraid that the hot water would splash out, and he was also afraid that the heat would burn Jiang Yuanyuan.
"Beware of the burn." Sheng Rong handed it over with both hands.
"Eh, thanks, that's ten cents." Xiao Wang put the money in Jiang Yuanyuan's hands, their orange water is a bowl of three cents, Xiao Wang comes every day to make two bowls of brother, and then another bowl in the afternoon, and from time to time to ask for some hot water, so it is ten cents a day.
"Okay!" Jiang Yuanyuan put the money in her money bag.
They don't often go out of the stall, generally go once every two days, this month, Xiao Wang is the first customer, but also every day after that, Xiao Wang is also a carpenter, but he does hairpins, hairpins are very cheap, a little more complicated, a little better-looking, only fifteen cents, simple, just eight or ten cents a, occasionally there will be women who come here to buy Xiao Wang's hairpins, he only needs to sell two hairpins a day to maintain a family's livelihood, under normal circumstances, can be sold, Later, Xiao Wang always liked to come to their house to drink orange water, and sometimes he would take home a copy, so his goal now is to sell three hairpins a day.
Sent away Xiao Wang, not long after, someone came to buy orange water, a passer-by, looking at the freshness of a bowl, after drinking it, smashed the bar and slammed his mouth a little unfinished, but he only put down the bowl and left.
In one morning, they sold almost a dozen bowls of orange water, Sheng Rong went to ask for cold water several times, and at noon, the two went to buy noodles to eat, a bowl of somen noodles for six cents, plus Jiang Yuanyuan's own homemade meat sauce, the two of them were full of hula hula, and went to sell marmalade in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, I was lucky enough to usher in a big customer, who drank a bowl freshly, and then directly bought two jars, one jar of five taels of silver, and two jars earned ten taels of silver.
In the previous big set, they sold more than a dozen jars of marmalade and made a lot of money, but then they went to the city center a few times, and there were many people who asked, but there were very few people who could really buy a jar, Jiang Yuanyuan thought of such an idea under her wit, and sold it here, and the small bowl should be all to make money for eating every day, mainly to try your luck and sell a large jar out, anyway, there is no protection fee here, so you don't have to worry about the money you earn being collected.
After pouring the pot of water, the two of them were ready to close the stall, washed the dishes, packed up all the things and put them on the side of Mr. Guo's son, and then the two went home happily.
Because she made a lot of money today, Jiang Yuanyuan also planned to treat herself, and bought more than a dozen meatloaf, they ate four of them, and the rest was going to be taken back for them to eat.
When I got home, it was just dark, Jiang Xuan and the others had just finished the meal, they had a lively meal, and sat and drank some tea and chatted for a while, the sky was dark, and they went home one after another.
Shivering and hiding in the quilt, Jiang Yuanyuan exhaled a long breath, it is very strange that it has not snowed today, I don't know how many times it has snowed at this time in previous years, but although it has not snowed, it is not so warm, on the contrary, this year is colder than in previous years, as if God is brewing something.
yawned, sleepiness hit, Jiang Yuanyuan buried her face in the quilt, and suddenly her body touched something, Jiang Yuanyuan shuddered, and almost shouted in a hurry.
"It's me, don't panic." Sheng Rong hurriedly said, he didn't expect Jiang Yuanyuan to actually look at it, and he went straight in without even lighting the lamp, and he was still hesitating how to tell Jiang Yuanyuan that he was here, but he was accidentally touched by Jiang Yuanyuan.
"You're scared the hell out of me." Jiang Yuanyuan reprimanded in a low voice, she just remembered the matter of Wang Lezi for a moment, but it scared her.
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Sheng Rong hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have sneaked in." ”
"Humph!" Jiang Yuanyuan snorted hypocritically, she drilled into Sheng Rong's arms, and consciously let Sheng Rong's hand on her waist, I don't know why, although the weather is very cold, but Sheng Rong's body temperature is always warm, always warmer than herself, she especially likes to be tired of Sheng Rong's body, and when it is cold, she stuffs her hand into Sheng Rong's neck, which is warm and comfortable.
Because the weather is indeed very cold at these times, Sheng Rong sometimes eats here and doesn't leave, and sleeps with Jiang Yuanyuan, at first Jiang Yuanyuan still felt that Sheng Rong was shameless and very shy, but after a long time, she began to let go, because she found that Sheng Rong was sleeping beside her, and it was really super warm.
