Watching the Li family's big ship sail away from the dock, the smile on the corner of Lu Yangge's lips was put down.

The four sisters of the Li family are all good-looking, wearing brand-new dresses, and they are very beautiful.

And the three sisters in her family are also beautiful, wearing old clothes that others don't want, and they are also like beautiful flowers.

When will her sisters be like the sisters of the Li family. There is no need to worry about the embarrassment of life, and the daily worries are either what jewelry to wear today, or what kind of new clothes to cut.

Sending off the shopkeeper Li's family, Lu Quan is going to go to the dock to find the little stewards to inquire about the news of Huaicheng, it's August, and the rebel army should be moving soon, right?

Lu Yangge thought about the small business she promised her sisters, and was also going to go shopping alone.

Lu Quan and the little steward were talking on the side, and Lu Yangge slowly walked around the dock.

The town looks a lot depressed, and even the wharf on this side of the gate is not as lively as it used to be.

A few lonely cargo ships docked at the dock in an orderly manner, and between the big ship and the dock, two thick wooden planks were erected, and the workers carrying the work went back and forth from the two gangplanks in an orderly manner, unloading the goods on the ship to the dock, or loading the goods from the dock onto the ship.

Lu Yangge took a few steps closer, and saw a familiar figure in the young man who was carrying the work.

Chen Ping'an put down a bag of goods, took a bamboo skewer colored with a head from the hand of the steward, watched the bookkeeper draw the word "positive" under his name, signed one by one, and reconciled the account with the signature in his hand and the bookkeeper's orthography at night.

The bamboo skewers are lost and not replaced, and the color marks of each bamboo skewer are also different, if you want to impersonate, it does not match the word "positive" that Mr. Bookkeeper remembers, and it will not be sent to you because you have more bamboo skewers in your hand.

Every time the attentive Chen Ping'an took the bamboo stick, he would watch the bookkeeper make up a sum on the word "Zheng" under his name, and then he would be relieved to carry the next package of goods.

On the wharf, there is often noise because of wrong accounts, and it is always the workers who suffer in the end.

Chen Ping'an has a careful heart and tender face, he has worked at the dock in the past two years, and he has never made a mistake, and because he has walked several boats of eel cages in the past two months, a few little stewards are not bad to Chen Ping'an.

"Little four."

After keeping the accounts, Chen Ping'an, who had already finished his work, wanted to find a place to rest, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Yangge, "Why did you come to the dock?" ”

"Come and send the shopkeeper Li."

"Oh."

At this time, Chen Ping'an remembered, and couldn't help blushing and touching his head, "Last night, grandma said that Shopkeeper Li was going back to Yangzhou, and I originally came here today to send Shopkeeper Li!" ”

He came to the dock early in the morning and wanted to secretly send a gift to Shopkeeper Li. Who knew that when he arrived at the dock, there happened to be a ship to unload, and an uncle who knew him thought he was here to carry the work, greeted him, and he followed.

I was also careless, I didn't pay more attention when I carried the bag, and I didn't even pay attention to when the boat of Shopkeeper Li's house had sailed away!

Chen Ping'an is a person who understands kindness, even if Shopkeeper Li doesn't know him as a kid on the wild wharf, but the eel cages on the wild wharf are all sold with the help of Shopkeeper Li, although his family is small, but in more than two months, he also earned twenty or thirty taels of silver.

With so much money, he couldn't have imagined it before.

If it was before, the eel cage business was still doing, as long as he ate a little harder, weaved eel cages during the day, and grew fish at night, at most a year, his family would be able to go ashore to build a house and buy land.

But now that the rebels are coming, the eel cage business has stopped. Lai Fushun, the shopkeeper of Li, also closed the door, and there was nowhere to sell the long fish.

He is a man who has a life in his eyes, and there is no man at home who can support the family, so he relies on himself for everything.

I came to earn ten copper plates in the morning, and I was originally happy.

Now hearing that Shopkeeper Li and their ship had left, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but blame himself a little.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's embarrassed face, Lu Yangge hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, beckoned to him, and motioned for him to bend over.

Chen Ping'an bent down, and heard the fourth child of the Lu family ask: "Brother Ping'an, do you want to make a lot of money in business?" ”

Do you want to make a lot of money in business?

I want to, of course I want to, I want to dream about it!

Seeing that Chen Ping'an didn't speak, Lu Xiaosi pulled Chen Ping'an's sleeve again: "Brother Ping'an? ”

"I ......"

Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on the people who were carrying the goods from the ship on their bows, many of them were in their prime, but because they had been carrying the goods on the dock for a long time, their backs were bent a lot.

If he had been working on the docks, maybe in a few years, he would have been like these uncles and uncles!

"Yes."

As if the desire in his heart was suddenly stimulated by the word "think", Chen Ping'an straightened his back and looked at Lu Xiaosi who was only up to his chest with blazing eyes.

"I thought...... Little fourth brother, do you have any solutions? Although I'm not smart, what I have is a lot of strength, Xiaosi, what do you say, what do I do, I promise...... Guaranteed ......"

He wanted to say that he would be obedient, but he also knew that it was not suitable for a brother who was several years younger than him.

As if he was afraid that Lu Xiaosi would feel that he was greedy, he hurriedly explained: "I don't want to earn a lot of silver, but I can pay back the ten taels of silver borrowed from your family first." ”

The thirty taels of land to buy are barely able to make up for his family. But Uncle Lu Quan said that the land was bought to build a house, and let him keep ten taels.

The money became a debt, and the young man's spine did not dare to straighten up.

"My sisters and I are going to do some small business together, but you also know that my mother and my father will not let our four sisters and brothers come out to do a small business."

Lu Yangge looked at the lively stalls on both sides of the dock, and an idea gradually formed in his heart: "If you and Grandma Chen and Shake can lead my eldest sister and second sister to do it together, I think my father and mother will not disagree." ”

Chen Ping'an asked puzzledly, "What kind of business?" To so many people? ”

"I think it's okay to transform our fishing boat and do some water business?"

"Water business? What kind of business can you do on the water? ”

For Chen Ping'an, fishing boats don't seem to be able to do anything else except catch fish and transport goods.

The fishing boat of the two families is not big, and it seems that they can't carry much cargo if they want to transport goods, so they can only fish.

Lu Yangge saw that Chen Ping'an didn't understand, and he didn't feel strange: "It's just to change the boat and sell some food." ”

"Is that okay?"

Isn't it all sold in the store? Chen Ping'an had never seen anyone sell on a fishing boat.

"Absolutely."

Although Jiangjiaba is a small town, there are many boats that come and go every day, and only a few of them can stay in Jiangjiaba.

Lu Yangge has seen at the dock, not all ships have to pass through the gate, and some only stay at the dock for a short time.

The business of the vegetable market in this part of the wharf is better than that in the town, and the lo-mei business of the Ding family is also the best here in the wharf, and even the price is much higher than that in the town.

It was because most of the ships were replenished here that they hurried to the next dock.

If they sell some food on the ship, and send it to the side of the major ships to be picked up by the merchants who can't get off the ship, the business must be done.
