On the way to the town, the caravan did encounter three waves of people from outside the village.

In other words, they can find people to ask for directions without the leadership of Xu Laosan.

"Yo, third, are you going to the city again?" A large pig farmer in a nearby village asked.

As he asked, he looked curiously at the endless caravan.

I thought: This is coming, finally here, whether it is in the city or outside the city, everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Uncle Ling, send the meat."

"Yes, the newly killed, this fat head, send it to your family."

Xu Youcang waved goodbye to the pork dealer, and after walking for a while, he met someone he knew again.

"Money shopkeeper, why are you here in person?"

"Don't mention it, the second grandfather is sick and asks for leave, and there is no recruitment, for fear of delaying your family affairs, I can only send oil paper by myself, I am afraid that you will not be useful."

"Then you work hard, there is really not much oil paper at home, my mother is in the shop, you can directly settle the silver for you."

The money shopkeeper deliberately dragged the mule cart to the side of the road, and while humbly letting the caravan pass through quickly, he thought to himself: It seems that these people stopped at Erdaohe last night, otherwise it would not be the third child of the Xu family who led the way.

I was very envious in my heart, how much money did the Erdaohe Xu family have to earn. I really want to marry the Xu family, but there is no little girl in the family, and he plans to pick up the little girl of his younger brother's family to look at the Xu family.

When they were about to enter the city, the stewards of the two caravans saw that someone was greeting Xu Laosan again.

This time, I sent spices to the Xu family, star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, spices and so on.

Along the way, the shopkeeper Zhang always sat in the Xu family's car.

The red strange symbol "chua" is written on the outside of the Xu family's car board, and the inside is made of horse manure, and there is a grass cover on the roof, and there is a mat under the buttocks, which is very warm.

When Xu Laosan picked up horse manure and put it in the bag, the shopkeeper Zhang put his hands in the warm sleeves and chatted and said:

"Boy, it seems that your family is still modest, and I can feel that there are many people in the village and outside the village who are attached to your family for survival. This is called making money, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a kind of accumulation of goodness, which belongs to the family of accumulation. ”

Xu Laosan smiled heartily, spit out a ball of haze, took off his cotton gloves and blew his nose and said:

The big shopkeeper smiled, but he was not honest, that is, ordinary people, they could eat more.

Can Yin Shi build a house out of adobe?

As for accumulating goodness, not to mention, my mother said that it is to help each other.

Most of our families here spend one month busy for the New Year, three months for farming, and two months for the weather to be warm and still be able to go out to find work. There are six months left to do nothing.

Now that I have a good opportunity, it is true that you big shopkeepers are here and can earn some money by pulling each other. ”

The Xu family brothers never felt how good their family background was.

They have a good reason.

Three new cars, my niece bought them.

Ten acres of land were added to the family, and my niece bought it.

The shop can have today, relying on the silver buried by the eldest brother under the big tree to lay the foundation, which is equivalent to the niece bought.

Even he wore fur and other clothes on his body, and he put them on with the light of his niece.

Therefore, the Xu family always felt that they were still very poor, and they had not earned a lot of money that could solve the real problem.

Xu Laosan thinks that he is really telling the truth, and also gave an example:

"For example, pigs are bought to make intestines and send them everywhere, and the money for the intestines retrieved has to be paid to the people who work in the village. As for the little money that he earns from doing some small business, he also has to buy grain and store fish. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was speechless, what about the money you sold us for the food and fish.

Isn't that still going to buy pork to make sausages and send it everywhere?

It has become a dead cycle, tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.

"Anyway, my mother's person, if she earns some money, she will add a small business, and if she earns a little, she will add it, I haven't seen her have extra money in her hand, and she has been tight."

Shopkeeper Zhang: "......" is fighting for you, silly boy.

After entering the town, Shopkeeper Zhang felt that the Xu family boy did not have a clear understanding of his family.

The shopkeeper also listened to what his subordinates said.

The people of their caravan ate in the town:

"Mrs. Xu's pot helmet is baked, crispy and hot."

"Mrs. Xu grilled sausages and grilled sausages, will the guest officer buy them?"

"Erdaohe Mrs. Xu instant noodles, a piece of bread is guaranteed to make you full, you look at the guests at these tables are eating, do you smell the fragrance from afar?"

There is also a lady who sells in a basket: "Erdaohe sticky bean bag, sticky bean bag." Why isn't it Erdaohe, you see, there is a label on the oil paper package outside, and I never sell fakes. It's not like the fakes you buy at the market, it's all heartburn. You buy it and steam a pot, and one pot is enough for a family of 20 to have enough strength to work. ”

The caravan members went to the restaurant to rub their heads, and even listened to Xiao Er's recommendation with the word Xu Jia in it.

"Mrs. Xu's sausage, do you want to have a plate, there is still pig's head meat new today. Fresh dishes include stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts, boiled bean sprouts, yes, they are all from Erdaohe. ”

It's about to become a well-known business.

Obviously left the Erdao River, but it didn't seem to leave.

What the shopkeeper didn't know was that in fact, except for the restaurant, the rest were all a business, from the hands of Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law has done a lot of business, and as the daughter-in-law of Zhenting, she can't show up to do business, so she let her mother's eldest sister and her family do the pot helmet, and the two families are divided in half.

She also helped her eldest brother rent a shop next to her, specializing in instant noodles and fried starch sausages produced by the Xu family in Erdaohe, and shared it in half with her eldest brother.

Don't underestimate this business, it can sell more than 200 sausages and 150 bowls of instant noodles in a day, not counting the bread bought out of the city.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law also asked the eldest sister's mother-in-law to buy sticky bean buns from her, and then walked the streets and alleys to sell them in baskets when she had nothing to do.

Just because of her pulling her mother's family, her in-laws were very dissatisfied with her.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law can think about it, but if she is dissatisfied, she is dissatisfied.

Even if she pulls her mother-in-law's family to come to the town to earn money now, she won't miss her well, and she just thinks that she is not worthy of the identity of Mrs. Zhenting.

So no matter how to help her mother-in-law's family, her mother-in-law's family will be like being blind, she won't think about so many relatives, she will have a lot of trouble, and she will only close her eyes and say that if she has a good life, she will borrow the light of the town pavilion.

Simply help my mother's family.

Slowly, her mother's family will miss her well when they have a family background. I also have money in my hand, and I can't help but look at her face that is very good at making money, and the possibility of plucking and leaving her or bullying her is smaller.

No matter how bad it is, she can't lose both people and money.

The more small business in his hand, the better, and Yu Lu, who left Zhao Dashan, could survive.

But this is the worst-case scenario.

On the contrary, since her mother's family began to earn money, they often bought some meat and sent it to her house, Zhao Dashan said privately that it is not easy for brother-in-law and your mother's brother to earn some money, they are too polite, let them stop breaking the bank.

She earned money to add clothes to Zhao Dashan, what Zhao Dashan said was that you are also very hard, make two more clothes for yourself, and the two of them talked about putting each other's money together at night, and after a year and a half of talking, they dared to think about adding a store to their son.

Anyway, since making money, the relationship is getting better and better.

Sometimes her mother-in-law's family said bad things about her behind her back, Zhao Dashan stopped her first and said, it was not that the daughter-in-law was crooked and cared for her mother's family, but that the family could have today, all thanks to Aunt Xu.

And his mother and Aunt Xu had a fight, and they almost fought together, can the Xu family sell the agent in the town to the surname Zhao? His daughter-in-law was able to take this stall, but she bent down and apologized many times. And he is very good at being a person, and offered to replace several small trading plaques with Xu's production.

These words provoked Zhao Dashan's brothers and sisters to complain about Aunt Zhao, you quarreled with the Xu family's aunt and made a lot of noise, and others couldn't make friends, but you caused trouble when you went out.

Aunt Zhao: "I ...... "who is my special mother for!"

Let the little hooves of the daughter-in-law of the mountain be put together, but after the little hooves are over, they have become a good person. Thanks to the fact that it was not the daughter-in-law who was the town pavilion, otherwise he would not know why he would have died.

Shopkeeper Zhang also heard his subordinates mention that he saw Xu Laosan's ox cart at the city gate and was surrounded as soon as he arrived, selling precious fish and chicken feet. The innkeeper mentioned Erdaohe, and the Xu family could also say two words.

Shopkeeper Zhang thought that he had a clear understanding of the Xu family's status in the town, at least among the ordinary people.

As a result, another day later, he actually met Xu Tianxin himself in the Mutual Market Division.

And Xu Tianxin was received before them.

He's a tea merchant, a tea merchant. The big tea merchants in the tea and horse markets lined up behind Xu Tianxin.

But that's for later.

First of all, after the caravan left, how could the bathing masters have the heart to sleep, and after squinting on the bathhouse kang for a while, they said that it was hot, but in fact, they couldn't understand how much copper they earned yesterday with their eyes closed.

The woman who made the shoes also asked Liu Laozhu's wife: "Auntie, will you be paid today?" ”

There are also men who are responsible for feeding mules and oxen, and they keep passing by the door of Xujia Restaurant.

Helplessly, the Xu family has bought and sold too much, and they haven't come back yet.

came to deliver meat, saying that he was going back to the village to arrange things, and by the way, he made up for sleep.

The fourth uncle was really disturbed to see these people walking around, and beckoned one of the boys and said: "Bolt, I see that a few of you are idle, go and put away the kitchen knives to sharpen the knives, and the kitchen knives don't dare to make my teeth good." ”

Is there a knife that doesn't dare to have a good tooth?

What an exaggeration.

Let's put it this way, the distance between the two teeth of the four uncles would cost 20 if you took a taxi in modern times.

Until the seventh uncle of the village committee came, he sat on Liu Laozhu's ox cart with two newly made flags in his hands.

Liu Laozhu touched the banner while driving the car.

Immediately afterwards, the Xu family's vehicle also appeared behind.

Mrs. Xu personally drove a car full of women to appear.

After getting off the bus, the women didn't have to worry about everything, they first whispered in code, one, two, three, and then shouted in unison: "Send money!" ”

Everyone immediately cheered.

In the Xu family restaurant.

Mrs. Xu and Pepper sat side by side at the counter.

Liu Laozhu is being teased by everyone for not caring about money.

Mrs. Xu was responsible for reading the name, peppering the bathing uncle and the boiler boy, and the man who chopped wood and sent firewood to settle the bill.

"Wang Daye."

"Here!"

"525 Text".

"Good job with the scrubbing group."

Wang Daye scratched his head, smiled embarrassedly and said modestly It's okay, but he was very excited in his heart, he earned so much in one day, if he worked for a month, he couldn't afford to give his youngest son family affairs at the end of the year.

"it."

The fifty-five-year-old old man, how happy he was to be read his name at this time, he said loudly: "Here." ”

"You even rub the bath and massage is fourteen, hard work, 490 Wen."

The old man belched and nodded and said that it was not hard, and thought that he would be able to add an acre of fertile land to his family in the coming year, and with more fields, future generations would be able to eat enough.

Next, Mrs. Xu felt that she couldn't be named, because she didn't have a serious name for her age, and some old men were older than her.

The people here pay attention to cheap names and are easy to feed. Some people's names are, pots and pans, stoves, wheels, wells, ropes, buckets, dung forks, dustpans, sieves and the like.

So she shouted with a smile: "Tugen, Mao, Black Egg, Oil Pot, Door Curtain, Ugly Baby, Occupy Dad, Huozi Dad, Iron Hammer Dad......"

At the end of the bathhouse, Pepper leaned into Mrs. Xu's ear and whispered: "There are also Tian Xin's four taels and two coins." "This is the money for Tianxin brand toiletries, and even the toothbrush is made by the old man in the village who hired him, which has the capital.

Mrs. Xu said to me, don't send it in front of everyone.

Then, the two of them left the table, and the fourth and seventh uncles took their seats and began to distribute the money for washing and making shoes.

"Shi Zhenxiang, make a total of fifteen pairs of shoes and 300 Wen...... What do you say? Ah, don't you have a surname in your mother's family? What's that surname, come on, I'll call someone whose mother, or call your man's name. ”

But the women stopped, "No, you have to call us by your own name, you are sophisticated." ”

We make shoes and bleed, wash hands and soak white, and we are also working hard to earn money to support our families, why should we be unworthy of our own name.

The fourth uncle softened in a chatter and said, yes, the caravan will come, we still have a bunch of business, call your name, okay.

There are so many things, and he can't remember them all.

"Wang Lianhua, ten sets of laundry, one hundred and fifty wen, very clean."

"Hey, here," the woman excitedly clenched her frostbite hand: "Fourth uncle, my maiden name is Li, Li Lianhua." Of course, it was clean, and she struck every garment with a mallet a hundred times. I'm afraid of being reworked, and then Li Zheng brushes down her name and doesn't use it again.

"Okay, well, you won't make a mistake next time."

And when the women gave out the money, all the money in the pockets of the grandfathers was coaxed away.

For example, Xu Tianxin's house rents a house to make medicine, and there are only two daughters in the family, and the daughters are still very poor in their in-laws' house. The old lady was saying to her bathing wife: "Her father, this time you have the ability to make more money, we can subsidize the daughter, so that she will be looked down upon in her in-law's house." ”

The old man immediately felt that he could take a hundred more baths: "I can't help it, for the sake of the money in the hands of our old couple, my aunts and sons are also willing to come." children, you can collect the money and save it for them. When the girls return to the door, they will take care of a table of meals to make up for it. ”

Next to the old couple, another old lady collected the money and said to her old man: "Dad, I never thought that you could earn so much at your age, it's only been a day, I don't dare to think about it." I've got to make you something delicious, or I won't be able to stand it. ”

"Hmph, then think about it, there will only be more in the future." The old man held his hands behind his back and straightened his spine.

There is also a little grandson who hugged and rubbed his grandfather's neck, and said sweetly: "Is it tired that the master wants to press those feet for people?" I heard that you worked all night, and when I grew up, I earned money to buy meat for my grandfather. ”

This big cake was painted, and his father hurriedly took out the copper plate: "Buy meat for my grandson now, and buy whatever the baby wants to eat." ”

Half an hour later, next to the one-eyed snowman.

Erdaohe, from old to young, both men and women, gathered here and watched Sibo trembling on the ladder and hanging the flag.

The red flag is embroidered, and the tea merchants of Huizhou have been entertained, and the general number of the capital.

The pink flag is embroidered, and the Luzhou pen inkstone has been entertained, and the general number of Donglai has been entertained.

On this day, the children of Erdaohe can't forget this scene, and they often remember it when they grow up. It is also a topic that many people must talk about on Chinese New Year's Eve for many years to come.

At this time, the villagers looked at the flags fluttering in the wind and thought:

Although our land is frozen and we can't dig the foundation for expansion, the situation is here, and there must be a lot of inconsiderate hospitality.

Weren't we poor before? We can't afford to build so many houses, and we will probably lose the money that was delivered to us, but we will work harder to solve many small problems.

For example, we will expand the number of people, and even female bathers will be ready at all times.

It has also been decided which families in the village will entertain and lodging, and the house will be furnished like a new house, and it will be sent to the church.

When we open the river to fish, we also hire a lion dance team for the guests who live here to watch. We'll be rehearsing the party from now on, and we'll give you a show at night when we're bored.

Because our goal is to give us a year to become a "green brick two rivers" where every family can build a brick house! ”

……

After noon that day, a new caravan did not stop at Erdaohe Village, and wanted to rush to the town before dark. But as the group passed by, many people looked at the two flags in unison.

There was also a team of horses running through Erdaohe Village as it approached evening.

The horse team ran for more than half an hour before leaving, and I don't know what kind of official it is, I heard that it was escorting Qian Zhuang.

In the future, Zhenbeidi will have a semicolon of Qianzhuang.

The team also looked at the two flags.

At seven o'clock in the evening, two rows of red lanterns lit up on the side of the Erdaohe shop.

The silk caravan arrived.

And there is a minimum of respect for the cold of the Northeast.

They looked at the banner that had enough experience to entertain the caravan, and a mighty procession of five hundred men was about to stop.

Stop it.

"It's time to go home!"

Water scoop rice shovel, we are here to call the guests at home.

The bird is called a skillful family, the chat is called nagging, the tube takes the initiative to call the pole, the saliva is called Halazi, the bath is called rubbing spring, and lying is called blindness.

Covering the scum, the scumbags are all our local dialect, and skating is called skating.

Whether it is a food seller or a bather, as long as it is asked, it will be popularized by this team of 500 people.

They really want to be full of peach and plums: "Well, what's the matter, what the hell." ”
