The boat sailed on the water, crossed the Rouge River, entered Shijiu Lake, and then entered Danyang Lake from Shijiu Lake.

Then the team divided into two roads, took the Huangchi River into Wuhu, and turned to Tu, which is from Taiping Mansion.

The other road enters Juxi from Danyang Lake, to the south, and when you see Xuancheng, you enter Wanxi, and you can get on the wharf for a short time.

The four of them did not follow them, and disembarked at two locations in Shijiu Lake, and there were people watching from the front of the store here.

"Brother Ren, the two of us are ......" The student came to the door and asked the person sitting there weaving bamboo baskets.

"The department store in Xiaqiu Village? You brought the keys, right? Go in and order the goods, if it's missing, count me. The basket-weaver stood up.

"Yes, thank you!" The student thanked him, took out the key and opened the lock, and when the door was pushed, some ash fell.

They went in, took the latch from the window, and opened it.

The light shone in, and the two of them saw the packed boxes and bags, with seals and lacquer seals at the closures.

Compare it, confirm that there is no problem, open it one by one, one account book for each person, and order the goods there.

"Put it outside, it's bright outside, no one steals it, and we will protect the business in Xiaqiu Village." The man outside shouted.

"Trouble Brother Ren to help call people, my surname is Ma, and his surname is Qian." When the student surnamed Ma heard it, he felt that it made sense.

Soon a group of people came over and helped carry things carefully outside, and stood there watching.

The two of them lit the same thing, and after ordering one, they took out a few and put them on the counter and lattice inside, and put the others away.

The same is true of the department store on the other side, someone helps, and the things in Xiaqiu Village have to be guarded.

The sun was moving slowly, and the onlookers had dispersed, leaving only a few children squatting in the shade and waiting.

The child came to bring water, boiled hot water, and put some tea leaves, and the two students drank when they were thirsty, and the children followed suit.

"The horse shopkeeper, the money shopkeeper, let's order it again in the afternoon! Time to eat. After another moment, someone from here came to greet him.

"Good! Really tired, waist! Tomorrow will be fine, to be able to start selling. Ma Hui stood up and twisted his waist.

Qian Dushi also wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and gasped twice: "Whose house are you going to eat?" Okay, we'll give the money. ”

"Eat at the pier, look ahead, it's all here. You don't have to give money, and you don't need to have two pairs of chopsticks.

Let's learn from Xiaqiu Village now, and everyone eats together, saving fire and labor.

Each family is calculated according to the head, regardless of size, one person pays a penny, and it doesn't matter if you eat more or less. ”

The person who came to look for it pointed ahead, and the department store was not far from the pier, so it was convenient for others to come and buy things.

"Then we will each contribute a share of the money." Ma Hui heard that he was a member, no problem.

"You go and tell the lieutenant chief, I don't care, now there are two lieutenant chiefs in this lake, and one person is in charge of half of the lake.

Meals are all to their respective docks, some are far away, just rowing here, and you can also go around a net on the road.

As soon as the wheat was harvested, Xiaqiu Village promised us to build two waterwheels for grinding noodles. ”

The man walked to the side, turning his head to talk to the two students.

"Since it's far away, why don't you get together? The lake is not small. "Chandus has an idea.

"Let's raise ducks and geese, how do we raise them together? Scattered, several families are together, just one place.

This autumn crab fishing, also according to the position of the crab basket, the boat walks on it, to transport goods.

Now that every family has a boat and we have money, it is a day that we didn't dare to think of before.

Here, don't be afraid of anything, with us, we will take care of the people of Xiaqiu Village. It's here. ”

As the man spoke, rows of long tables and chairs appeared in front of him.

Next to it is the kitchen for cooking, and there are sheds on three sides outside the kitchen to block the wind.

"Sit down, oh, wash your hands first, here." Quite a few people are already here.

Each of them serves a plate, the same as the box restaurant, the food is piled next to it, and they serve it themselves, and there is a special bowl for the soup.

"You're the lieutenant?" Qian Dushi asked after washing his hands.

"Just call me Lao Huang, I don't know what you like to eat, see if you can eat it? If it doesn't work, let someone do it. The man looked polite.

"Huang Lichang, when the two of us came, we said okay, we have to give money, how is the money calculated?"

When it comes to mentioning money first, you can't develop the bad habit of eating other people's food outside for nothing.

"One hundred dollars at a time." Huang Lichang raised his index finger.

"How is one time calculated?" Ma Hui didn't understand, he thought it was given monthly.

"Regardless of men, women, young and old, newborn babies are also counted, take out a hundred wen, when to use it up, and when to hand it in.

You wait for the next time, the next time you pay the money, it's not easy to collect it now, I still have to calculate how much is left, and then divide it according to the person, trouble. ”

Huang Lichang introduced the situation and asked the two to hand it over later.

Qian Dushi and Ma Hui glanced at each other, and after exchanging, it means that it is estimated that they will be able to hand it over soon, because there is meat in the dish, how many meals can be eaten for a hundred yuan if they eat like this?

"Okay, then we'll take advantage of it for a few days." Ma Hui expressed his gratitude.

"It's okay, you can eat!" Huang Li waved his hand.

"Huang Lichang, when did you pay the money last time?" Chandushi asked curiously.

"Last time...... Belch...... It's been two months, right? Huang Lichang recalled.

The man next to him spoke.

"There you have it."

"A few more days!"

"How much money is left? If it's not enough, we'll pay it. ”

"The main thing is that there can be no less seasoning, and there is no seasoning to make fishy."

"Yes, don't worry, there are quite a few, and it's no problem to eat for another two months." Huang Lichang nodded.

Ma Hui and Chandushi glanced at each other again: "......"

Qian Dushi touched Huang Lichang: "Huang Lichang, how did you spend this money?" I see there's meat. ”

"Buy spices! Sichuan pepper, spices, bay leaves, cinnamon, grass fruits, sand kernels, salt, vinegar, sugar, cooking wine, this is not money? ”

Huang Lichang looked like we were asking for money for real money, and there was no fraud.

"Where's the meat? What about rice noodles? "Ma Hui emphasizes meat and staple foods.

"Fish meat, rabbit meat, there are few people here, rabbits are jumping around, whoever catches it will throw it to the kitchen.

And fish, just cast a few nets, or go around, and there you have it.

The rice noodles are exchanged for fish and the people on the shore, Jiangning County is very big, and we all belong to Jiangning County.

Someone specializes in farming, so we caught fish and went to the Rouge River to the place where the Qinhuai River is connected.

There are people who set up stalls to buy and sell things every day, and he has more fish in the river than in the lake?

In the evening, we put shrimp pots and send them together with shrimp to exchange rice noodles and rapeseed oil.

Whoever has free time, find a few people to go over to change, and bring it back to everyone to eat after the exchange.

The vegetables are grown by ourselves, who has more, hurry up and pick them off and take them here to do, today's cucumbers are a little old.

Keep an eye on cucumbers at night to eat, whose land is it! How nice it would be to pick it up two days earlier. ”

Huang Li Chang introduced himself while serving food, and complained that the cucumbers in the field were picked late.

"My family, I wanted to pick it two days ago, but the fourth family picked it first, and then Feng Xiaoliu picked the eggplant and cowpeas.

My family ran to pick it early in the morning, otherwise it would be finished again, and there would be too much planting. ”

A person next to him made a sound, looking very helpless.

Ma Hui and Chandu: "......"
