Chapter 152: Pay before you get paid
On the day of the Lunar Festival, Qiao's shop was about to be crowded, and when Qiao Mai came back from Fucheng, he was loaded with a cart full of fruits, and he was stunned that he didn't have enough to sell.
Rich people bought strawberries for ten taels and one pound without blinking an eye, watermelons for eight hundred yuan, and bought them without anyone bargaining, all kinds of fruits were not cheap, and when it was dark, the shelves were empty.
All kinds of pots for snacks are also clean.
The shopkeeper calculated the account, and there were eight hundred taels of silver in the account that day, most of which were obtained from strawberries.
Good things are really not afraid to sell, this rich man's silver is like a strong wind, he buys it when he sees it, he is really envious.
In the evening, Qiao's family set up several tables, one table of the owner's family, three tables of people, the dishes on it were exactly the same, and everyone had a lively and lively festival together.
Yuan's family is also very lively over there, and the students can't go home on the Luna Festival, and many students have sent a lot of good things to their homes.
In his bedroom, the things from the Yuan family are the best.
He gave some of the things that day to the gentleman who taught him, and kept some for himself.
The gentleman was very happy with the mooncakes and fruits he gave him, and after tasting them, he felt that this student's gift was the most lovely.
On the night of the Lunar Festival, a few classmates and friends set up a large table in the house, and each of them ordered two different dishes from the kitchen and made up ten dishes.
Yuan Jiaqi learned Qiao Mai's method, squeezed juice for them, put a small plate of moon cakes sent by Qiao Mai, and made the fruit into a fruit plate.
There are naughty ones, so I secretly picked up the mooncake and tasted it.
"Well, this mooncake is delicious."
"Of course, my lady's cooking must be delicious."
"The Qian family's Wei Xiangzhai is not as delicious as this moon cake, and this plate feels like it's not enough for me to eat myself."
"Just taste it, and you can eat it as food? Will you eat anything else for a while?"
"If you can eat enough mooncakes like this at one time, what else can you eat?"
As he spoke, he was about to take it again, but he was grabbed by everyone's neck and slipped aside.
It's no wonder if it's not delicious, the moon cakes she makes are all added to Linghe water, not to mention, the ones bought from the platform are all high-tech, although the taste is not as good as Linghe water, but it is also delicious.
A dinner here in the Yuan family was full of fights, and it took a few bites to eat after fighting.
Not really a fight, of course.
The next day, Qiao Mai began to pack up, first for the children, everything was simple, just bring a change of clothes with him.
A person packed a small box and came out, her clothes were also a small box, you can bring more money when you go out, and the rest is really unnecessary, the more things you bring, the more tired you are.
But the old lady can't do it here, she is an elder, she has to bring clothes, things to bring, and some commonly used medicines on the road, which is very troublesome, and there are a lot of guards waiting for their husband and wife, and everyone has to bring some.
So just the stuff has to be full of cars, no wonder you have to walk on the road for ten days, this large group of people, young and old, can't go fast at all.
This time she went to the capital, she took her four children, as well as Yuehong and Yuexia, and no one else.
As for snacks, guarding her, guarding her shopping platform, what can't you eat?
So, she didn't bring anything, seven people, seven boxes. ….
By the way, there are also two skirts for Miss Wang, which are also prepared in the space.
The congratulatory gift has already been given to her, so there is no need to prepare it again.
After the children knew that they were going to go far away, they couldn't even sleep with joy, and chased after Qiao Mai every day to ask this and that.
Qiao Mai bought seven cloth crossbody school bags from the Internet and called them all to him.
"Come, one per person, you can usually put snacks or something inside, it's very convenient and practical."
The three Feng'er brothers are medium-sized diagonal bags, Ling'er's is small, and Yuehong Yuexia and hers are large.
Ling'er stared wide-eyed, looking at this person's bag, looking at that person's bag, and then at her own.
"Mother, I want to carry my brother
That's it."
"You're still young, when you grow up, my mother will make you a big one."
"Haha, big eyes and small belly, you little man, with such a big back, it's nondescript."
"Hmph, then I'll eat more and grow up quickly."
Before leaving, Qiao Mai prepared enough goods for the shop and put them in the warehouse, and the cattle shopkeeper had a key and could pick it up by himself.
Thinking about it, there was nothing more to explain, she went to the old lady's, and it was almost cleaned up here.
The three carriages at home were not enough at all, so she ordered two more cars at a high price with others.
One sits on his own family, one sits on the royal family, one sits on the servants of the royal family, the guards ride horses, and two carriages pull goods and follow behind them.
The next morning, as soon as the car arrived, let them eat with everyone, and then start loading.
The mother-in-law of the Qiao family helped and quickly loaded the car.
The old lady looked at the old man, how unpleasant it was.
"You and your three students are in a car, remember to watch them, I want to be in a car with Mrs. Qiao."
The old lady temporarily changed her hang and drove Mr. Wang out of the car.
Qiao Mai was helpless, and told the three children, took Ling'er, Yuehong and Yuexia, and got into the old lady's car.
The shops on both sides of the official road have not yet opened, and the carriage of the Qiao family has already gotten on the official road and is slowly driving south.
At this speed, it's not bad to travel 200 miles a day.
The old lady opened the curtains, looked at the scene outside, and said that she was happy and sad in her heart.
"Girl, I haven't been back to Beijing for decades."
"Your mother's family is from the capital?"
"Yes, my mother's family is from the capital, like my age, my father and mother are gone, there are three brothers, one sister, I am the youngest at home, they all love me and spoil me, just go to Beijing to see them this time."
"Old lady, let's talk about it first, I'm a village woman in the countryside, I don't understand anything, so I won't accompany you."
"Are you still a village woman? Can you pull it down, there is a village woman who can read and read? Is there a village woman who knows martial arts? Is there a village woman who can cook all kinds of food? Tell me what else you can't?"
"It's not going to be much, I don't want to be bullied because I practice martial arts, I read and write, so I don't want to be deceived, and I can cook food because I am greedy."
"Haha, you."
Ling'er took out a paper bag from her small bag and pinched out a grain of jerky from it.
"Great-grandmother, eat, it's fragrant, it's delicious." ….
The old lady opened her mouth to accept the feeding of her great-granddaughter, and her eyes were full of joy.
"It's a blessing for the children to follow you."
"I am good to them, and they will be good to me in the future, and I will pay first before I get in return."
"There are also those who are good to them, they don't know how to reciprocate, and they still take it for granted, what do you think?"
"I don't want them to be filial in the future, if they don't put me on the wall and smash me to death, I'll burn high incense."
"You can't talk well."
Qiao Mai handed Ling'er to Yuehong and the others, she took out a paper bag from her bag and took out two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes.
One piece was handed to the old lady, and the other was peeled and eaten.
"It's so sweet."
"Can your stuff be bad?"
"In the future, I will not point to anyone, when I can move, I will move myself, and when I can't move, I will keep my back hand, rather than lying on the bed and being waited for by others and unable to move, it is better to end myself and reincarnate as a new person as soon as possible, than to suffer that sin."
The old lady glared at her, "Don't say that, raise children to prevent old age, you have three children, you are still young now, when you become a real husband and wife with him, maybe you can have ten or eight children, what kind of nonsense."
"I'm not going to do the worst."
"People have to think about the good."
"Well, when something bad happens, you won't be able to stand the blow, and I call it preparedness."
The old lady was casually eating sweet potatoes and looking at the view from the window.
"Why are there so many displaced people this year? Even now, there are still people from the north."
