Chapter 35: The third brother is a genius in business
At this time, the little group was held by the eldest brother Jiang Yujiang, and looked at it from booth to booth. There are also six other kids around who are ready to pick up their sister at any time.
Behind them are Lichun and Gu Yu, and two newly bought little guys, and the proper group pets are gone.
This year's fair, there are a lot of people on the street. If she doesn't let people hold her, she will only be able to see the feet of the street when she is less than the height of a stall.
The fourteen-year-old boy has a somewhat tall posture. At this moment, I was holding my sister steadily, watching my sister whimper and bargaining with the stall owner, and the smile on the corner of my lips couldn't be suppressed.
Jiang Yuqing took a fancy to a set of seven nesting dolls with beautiful workmanship for monkeys fishing for the moon. I want to buy it back, and when Li Deshun returns to Beijing, I ask him to give it to my little brother as a New Year's gift.
Because when Li Deshun came, he gave her a small box, saying that it was given to her by her little brother.
It contained a small gold luan bird pattern engraved with her name, two pairs of very beautiful Jiao yarn beads, and some other jade pieces.
lives in the capital, and it is the little brother she recognizes, so there is only Jingyan's little brother who left Qingzhou half a year ago.
I didn't expect that the beautiful and serious little Zhengtai who was a little too much still remembered him, and asked people from afar to bring her something.
This friendship, she naturally can't pretend not to know. This doll should be a gift in return. I just don't know that he still knows Li Deshun!
The thing is good-looking, and when you ask the price, three hundred dollars, it is really a bit expensive. She stretched out two little fingers that were as white as green onions, and compared two words: "No, it's expensive, two hundred dollars." ”
The stall owner was a young man, and at a glance, he was happy and said, "Hey, you little girl is so young that you can bargain, you have a future."
However, I can't pay the price of 200 yuan, and I will lose money. Look at this thing, this workmanship, the minimum is 290 wen. ”
It's ten dollars cheaper, is this bullying her young age?
Although this workmanship is really good, if it is porcelain is indeed worth this price, it is a pity that it is pottery. Not to mention two hundred wen, even one hundred and fifty wen he earned.
The asking price is so high, it is nothing more than seeing her young age and treating her as a big wrongdoer.
Thinking about her last life, the name of "blocking the waist" in the night market street behind the main courtyard is not in vain, it's time to let this stall owner see the sinister world.
Although the little tongue doesn't say much, it's a bit of a loss, anyway, let's do it first.
"No, two hundred."
"This is too little, I see that you are cute, so I will give you another ten yuan, two hundred and eighty yuan."
"Two hundred."
"Two hundred and seventy wen!"
"One hundred and nine."
"Two hundred and sixty wen."
"One Hundred Eight"
“…… Hey, I said, why is your price getting less and less? Okay, okay, 200 wen lost money to you. ”
"No, one hundred and eight." Xiao Tuanzi insisted.
"Cheng, one hundred and eighteen, one hundred and eighteen. Take it! "If she continues to talk about it, she will really lose money. The stall owner put on the nesting doll and handed it to Jiang Yuqing.
Dango happily took it and carefully put it into the cloth bag he carried.
He took out a small purse embroidered with a fat koi carp from inside, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the stall owner. The stall owner used a nickname to retrieve her seventy-two dollars.
The lord of the realm is rich and rich, and he thinks that the copper plate is too heavy to hold. Just walked by a sugar gourd seller, and with a wave of his hand, he wrapped up other people's sugar gourds.
The sugar gourd, a total of sixty-seven strings, cost 200 wen. The little brother who sells sugar gourds has his big teeth and flowers that are smiling, and he also gave her the straw handles for the gourds.
So, the children of the Jiang family each took a string of sugar gourds, including Lichun Guyu and the little maids.
Jiang Yuhe, who is thirteen years old, is the most active. He has a lot of food and strength, and he is even half a head taller than his brother Jiang Yujiang.
At this moment, he quickly took the first step to carry the sugar gourd stick, but he envied the rest of his brothers and brothers.
What child's childhood did not have a sweet and great dream of carrying a stick of sugar gourd all over the village?
Jiang Yuhe, who was carrying a sugar gourd stick, instantly felt that he was the most beautiful cub on this street, and his aura was full of eight feet.
Walking in front of the brothers and sisters with high spirits, like a general returning from victory on the battlefield, the bull was angry.
Such a large group of beautiful girls and young men walked on the street, each holding a sugar gourd and eating, which was really eye-catching.
When the children on the street saw it, they clamored for their families to buy it. The parents were so noisy that they had no choice but to step forward and ask Jiang Yuhe how to sell sugar gourds?
Jiang Yuhe wanted to say that he would not sell it, but he was covered by his cousin Jiang Yuhu first: "Sell, four pennies and a string!" ”
The parent was stunned: "Why is it so expensive, it only costs three articles and a string on weekdays." ”
Jiang Yuhu smiled and said, "Uncle, you also said that it was on weekdays." Now it's the end of the year, and the price of sugar and all materials has gone wrong, and we can't help it. ”
The parent thought about it, so he happily took out eight cents to buy a bunch for each of his two sons.
This hair is out of control, and there are more and more people who come up to buy sugar gourds, and after a while, only a bare pole will be left for a handful of sugar gourds.
The brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, you look at me, I look at you, so they found a corner, took out the copper coins in the bag and counted them, two hundred and twenty-four wen.
In other words, they not only earned twenty-four wen, but also ate eleven sugar gourds for nothing.
The children of the Jiang family were stunned, for the first time they knew that money could still be made like this.
Seeing the more than 200 big money that returned to his hands, Jiang Yuqing couldn't laugh or cry. However, after this experience, she can see it.
This inconspicuous third brother Jiang Yuhu is a genius in business. If he wishes, he may be able to train in the direction of business in the future.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuqing happily gave Jiang Yuhu a high thumbs up and said loudly: "Third brother, awesome!" As he spoke, he took out the twenty-four copper coins he had earned from the small purse containing the money and put them into his hand, and said sweetly: "Brother's! ”
Jiang Yuhu was praised by his sister, and he was really happy to get twenty-four big money rewarded by his sister, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he never let go all the way.
It was these twenty-four copper coins that opened the legendary road of Jiang Yuhu's richest man in Daxia, and later became his heirloom. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Although there are maids and maids following, the elders of the family are still paying attention to the children's affairs. Naturally, I saw what happened just now.
Zhu's eyes lit up and asked her husband: "If the third child doesn't want to study in the future, how about letting him learn to do business?" ”
Jiang Wenxi said: "I don't care, as long as the child likes it." ”
Jiang Wenyuan said: "I can see it." Xiao San'er's talent for reading is average, but he is better than having a flexible brain, knowing how to be flexible, and he is a good material for doing business. In the future, the family will definitely develop some other industries, and if you cultivate it well, you may not be able to achieve a career. ”
Hearing the little uncle's affirmation of his son, Zhu's eyes brightened.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the New Year is celebrated. Kill pigs, chickens, ducks, steamed rice noodles and meat.
On this day, the Jiang family killed a total of three fat pigs and five sheep. Chickens, ducks, geese, and fatty fish. Because there are more than 100 people living in this house, they can't use the knife on the first day of junior high school, so they can only deal with it in advance.
Fresh pork is topped with betel nut taro, marinated with seasonings and mixed evenly, then wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed in a pot. The five-storey cage was burned from the afternoon of the 29th to the next morning. The steamed rice noodle meat is filled with six half-height large radish baskets, which are so fragrant that people salivate.
The rest of the meat, chicken, fish, etc. were also cleaned, salted, wrapped in dried lotus leaves, and placed in a large vat in the backyard. It's going to be cold, and it's not a problem to leave it for two or three days.
That evening, news came from Fucheng. The official road leading from the Lingzhou Mansion to the capital has been completed. After Li Deshun found out, he decided to set off for Beijing after the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Finally, it was the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the south is early. Since the end of the afternoon (around 3 p.m.), the sound of firecrackers has been heard in the village one after another.
The Jiang family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began when Shen Shi.
Ten tables were arranged in the hall in one go, and all the masters and servants were of the same color, separated only by screens.
The ten Yu Linwei who guarded the sweet potato warehouse in turn, because of the inconvenience of their duties, left the warehouse for too long, so the Jiang family simply cut out a vacant land in the sweet potato warehouse, put a charcoal basin on the bottom, and put it on the table.
In this way, you can not miss things, and you can have a good Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Not only that, but the Jiang family also asked people to wrap dumplings filled with leeks and meat according to the customs of the Northern New Year.
Although it was generally welcomed, it was welcomed by all the guests, if nothing else, the Jiang family's kindness to others alone was enough for them to cherish for a lifetime.
After dinner, everyone put melon seeds, fruits, refreshments, cakes and cakes to start the New Year.
It was a little boring to sit dry, so Jiang Wenyuan asked people to take out a wooden pot bottle and pole made a long time ago and play a game of pitching pots for everyone.
They are all young people, and when they are best to move, they are immediately excited and participate in it. For a while, the hall was bustling with activity.
Li Deshun was also interested, and even promised fifty taels of silver. The color head was like a drop of water dripping into a boiling oil pot, and the noise almost toppled the roof.
The boys of the Jiang family participated in this kind of game for the first time, and their interest was very high.
In the past, I only heard my husband say that this kind of game was popular in the big families, but at that time, the poor family couldn't even eat enough, so how could they take these ethereal things to heart. I never thought that I could experience it in my own home.
Jiang Yuqing had only watched it in TV series before, and today was the first time to experience it, so I felt very interesting.
However, she was small and had little strength, so she gave up after trying twice and failing to throw it in. concentrate on being a cheerleader for his brothers and cheering.
In the end, the fifty taels of silver were pocketed by a small leader of the escort.
After the game of pitching pots, the boys brought fireworks.
Fireworks are always a favorite of children. Although it is far less beautiful than the fireworks she had seen in her previous life, she is happy.
And because of the large number of people, the children of the Jiang family, including Jiang Yuqing, successfully persevered until the time of their son.
As soon as the child time passes, it is the New Year.
First of all, the subordinates of the family kowtowed to the main family to pay New Year's greetings, and as usual, Old Man Jiang and Old Hu gave each of them a big red envelope. 500 yuan in each red envelope.
The second is that the children in the family gave New Year's greetings to the elders, including Li Deshun, and everyone gave the children red envelopes. Among them, Jiang Yuqing's red envelope is the largest.
Again, it was the peasant officials who lived here, the guards and honor guards from Beijing who exchanged New Year's greetings with the Jiang family.
As elders, the old man Jiang and the old Hu family each sent a red envelope of one or two silver, wishing the New Year auspicious and smooth.
After the red envelopes were distributed, everyone went back to rest.
