When the sun is shining in the sky, the lake waves under the breeze, the white clouds in the sky move slowly, and the reflections on the water surface break into pieces from time to time and recondense.

The waterfowl soared freely without hurry, and suddenly dived into the water, and when it fluttered, it already had a fish in its mouth.

Dogs barked in the distance, and after a few moments, two dogs ran close with a rabbit in their mouths.

The dog owner flicked hard at the rabbit's head, and the rabbit, which was still struggling, stopped moving.

"Wait, I'll give you the rest of the food, go and stay there."

The owner of the dog spoke to the two dogs, and the two dogs first ran to the water's edge, stuck out their tongues and drank a few sips of water, and then ran to the shady place according to the owner's point, and lay there and stuck out their tongues.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi looked at the rabbit sent by the dog, and suddenly understood after listening to the introduction of Huang Lichang and what the cucumber man said.

One hundred yuan is really used to buy seasoning, because no one changes the seasoning for them, and everything else can be changed.

Raising ducks and geese is the main business here, as is crab hunting in autumn.

It is estimated that this year's wheat harvest and soybean planting will also become the new main business, and everything else will be done conveniently.

Grow vegetables, catch fish and exchange things, and whoever has time will do it.

This is why the newborn baby also has to pay a hundred yuan, the baby can't work, and has to feed, and the person who feeds the milk has relatively few jobs.

The baby's 100 wen is counted on the mother, and it can take a long time anyway.

The money from the sale of duck eggs and goose eggs, and the money from the sale of duck and goose eggs, they counted it as their own and kept it for saving.

At other times, everyone netted fish together to exchange for rice and flour oil, and caught rabbits, and obviously today's dogs will be caught as part of dinner.

The two of them served their own meals and sat next to each other, listening to the chatter of the people here.

Some people say that when I went to change the oil in the morning, I saw the pork seller, I didn't know if it was good or not, and I didn't dare to change it, for fear that it would be bad.

Some people also say that there seems to be mullet in the shrimp pot, the big one has been stretched open, and there is meat hanging on the bamboo strips of the cage.

"The pickles are almost gone, who will go to the city tomorrow and buy pickles in Jubiqi?" The person in charge of cooking asked.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi found out at this time, no wonder they are familiar! Jubiqi's pickles.

"Yes, there are pickles in the department store, Jubiqi, there are many vegetables in your vegetable field, hurry up and make dried vegetables, and the store will collect them.

Last year, Xiaqiu Village collected 2,000 dried vegetables in Nanjing, and you might as well sell them if they were old and rotten in the ground.

In the future, the seasoning will be bought in department stores, and it is not more expensive than other places, and some are even cheaper. ”

Ma Hui heard that someone was going to Nanjing to buy pickles, so he introduced the business to everyone.

"Yes, the department store is open, and it was said that in order to make it easier for us to buy things, why should we go so far to buy things!"

"Hurry up and put the goods on the table, I'll see what they have, and they will say what they receive."

"Xiaqiu Village thought that things were different from others, so they opened the store directly at home."

"We have to take care of the store, and people will pay people. Rhubarb, Erhuang, this way, oops! Stupid! ”

The man said and threw the two bones of the rabbit to the dogs, and the two dogs ran to catch them, but when they didn't catch them, they picked them up on the ground and ran back to nibble and play.

……

After eating, Qian Dushi and Ma Hui continued to go back to order and place goods.

"Others can give other things, pay 100 wen at a time, what can we give?" Ma Hui was worried.

"Yes! How do they live like this? That's not right! One hundred wen per person is the money to buy spices. Chandus was equally depressed.

"But people are happy, don't care too much, and help each other. Brother Ma, do you know how to fish? ”

"I haven't studied, I know archery, prepared for the imperial examination, who would have thought ......"

"I'll too, let's shoot rabbits? Shoot one or two a day, it should be enough to eat, right? ”

"How can I have time! We have to buy and receive. ”

"Just these people, they buy and sell every day? We'll be idle, and if we don't have to hire four people, we'll have enough. ”

"Let's teach the children when we're idle! Do we teach children to make a contribution? ”

"Probably count! Ask Huang Lichang tomorrow? ”

"Don't ask, let's take twenty pamphlets and ten sets of picture literacy, a set of five. Tomorrow ......"

"We have to sell the goods tomorrow, and on the first day of opening, everyone is curious, at least they want to buy pickles."

"Yes, the first few days were the busiest, and then we'll teach the children. We're lucky. ”

"Nothing else has such a good thing! Especially the one in Taiping Province. ”

"Work quickly, I just remembered, we are close to Nanjing!"

"Isn't it, if you say the past, you can pass, and whoever wants to go back in the future will leave one person here."

"Go in the morning and come back in the evening."

The two men talked until the sun turned to the egg yolk in the west, and it was still orange-red egg yolk.

Feeling like they were about to collapse, they were called to the dock to eat, and they saw a large group of dogs eating not far away.

A small wooden pot for a dog with rice soaked in vegetable soup and rabbit bones.

There was still rabbit meat for dinner, a lot, and apparently the dogs had done their job.

"Huang Lichang, the dog feeds rice?" Ma Hui felt that this was extravagant.

"When I used to raise dogs, the dogs would go to the lake to find food, sometimes eat grass, or get some chaff.

The dog has no meat to eat, so he eats a mouse, or catches a rabbit and tears it up, but there is nothing left, and the dog starves to death.

Now there is no shortage of food, and the dog can help watch the ducks and geese, and catch the rabbits and take care of the house.

Well fed, grow strong, throw a bone, the dog can be happy for a long time.

The next time I go to the city, buy pork and come back to eat, ask for big bones as a head, and come back for them to celebrate the New Year. ”

Huang Lichang looked at the group of dogs and said that when he bought bones, he was full of smiles.

Ma Hui and Qian Dushi nodded at the same time, yes, buy big bones, you have money, you do have money.

……

Compared to the shopkeepers of the two department stores in Shijiu Lake, people in other places are tired.

The students who went to Taiping Mansion, who arrived at noon, met the prefect and others, went their separate ways, and those who stayed in Dangtu County were popular.

Other places are far away, there are officials who have been sending, it is estimated that it can arrive in the middle of the night, fortunately, it is hot, if you are not afraid of mosquitoes, it is nothing to sleep outside.

If there is a mountain temple, a land temple or something, so much the better.

The students who went to Ningguo Mansion had just arrived, two hundred and eight people, and they took a one-day boat, and some of them had to go ashore halfway to make it easier.

But when they arrived here, they were considered home, and Li Zhixian asked them to take them to the yamen to rest, and arranged side dishes for them, and rice and soup were not used.

The students brought a water bladder with soup in it, and then there was a meat bun, and after they sat down, they ate the meat bun with the soup.

"If you can't sleep, you can get up and drink and send you to the place by car tomorrow."

Li Zhixian originally wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the students, but seeing their appearance, it is estimated that he will not agree, and he is in a hurry to work.

Then he can only arrange it to this extent, and then help in the future.

There is still a change today, and I will make up for the one that I signed before.
