Chapter 58: Doing Business
Xu Ling has absolutely no love for Liu Niang.
Nonsense, she was originally a woman.
fell in love with Gu Yi, partly because Gu Yi was her responsibility, since she had made up her mind to live with Gu Yu for the rest of her life, she had to accept and adapt.
The other part is that Gu Yi is very good, and she really likes Gu Yu.
But if she wants to be half-hearted, with three wives and four concubines, she can't do it, she really can't do it.
Even if Liu Niang was interested in her, she only felt guilty in her heart, and she wanted to compensate Liu Niang and repay her for taking care of her in the days when she was seriously ill.
If there was no Liu Niang's care, he would have a serious fever alone, and no one would know if he died in the house.
Xu Ling has always adhered to a principle, people respect me, I respect people, anyway, when he sells autumn pear paste to make enough money, he will go home to his wife and children to hot the kang.
Distribute the autumn pear paste recipe to Liu Niang, and don't delay him to sell it himself.
So Xu Ling saw through the thoughts of his younger brothers and sisters, and just shook his head, immersed in making autumn pear paste, and had no intention of explaining.
Xu Ling was busy until the time he was young, and the husband struck the gong in the alley to remind him, and finally finished boiling a large pot of autumn pear paste.
Xu Ping Xu An didn't stay up much late, and he had already fallen asleep.
Xu Ling canned the autumn pear paste and moved it back to the house, and quietly got some pears out of the space to fill the gap.
After finishing his work, Xu Ling washed his face and feet, rubbed his hands and went to bed with a breath of hot air.
Early the next morning, Xu Ping crept up and turned over Xu Ling's body, Xu Ling woke up.
Give Xu Ping twenty yuan and ask him to go out and buy some and come back early, Xu Ling got up to brush his teeth and tidy up his things.
After eating, Xu Ling left 100 yuan for his younger brothers and sisters, so that the two of them could stay at home to eat by themselves, and he didn't want to run around, he wanted to go out to sell autumn pear paste.
Xu Ping Xu An responded, Xu Ling was not at ease, and went to the tea shop in the front yard to ask Liu Niang to help take care of the distraction, and Liu Niang also agreed.
Xu Ling left with peace of mind.
He used to use baskets to load autumn pear paste when he walked the streets and alleys, but now that the shotgun has been replaced, there is a board car, and Xu Ling naturally uses a board car to load it.
Who knew that after yelling outside all morning, only two cans were sold.
Xu Ling was puzzled, he walked from the east gate to the west gate, and went around most of the circle. At noon, when the sun was in full swing, Xu Ling bought two steamed buns and sat by the river while eating and thinking about the reason.
The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and a few occasionally looked over, and quickly retracted their gaze.
didn't make much money in the morning, and Xu Ling was a little anxious. Before going home, he thought that with his ability to earn dozens of taels in those days, he would definitely be able to make enough money soon when he came back this time, and he would be able to go back to pay off his debts and build a house, which would be enough.
Who knew that he would be frustrated just after he came back, and he couldn't help but regret spending a lot of money in a big way.
Xu Ling couldn't sell the autumn pear paste, so he had to go to the Lu carpenter's shop to ask for his custom-made shelf, put the shelf on the cart and push it to a corner where no one was around, and took back the shelf while no one was around.
Xu Ling plans to stop selling things today and find a place to make room for it.
The limited space was planted with vegetables at four o'clock, and the pears he bought and the things he bought were all hoarded in the corners, and he could tidy up with a shelf.
Xu Ling pushed the cart towards his home, passed a stone bridge on the way, and saw a blind old man on the bridge who was telling fortunes, the old man was also surnamed Xu, with a cloth banner with "Xu Banxian fortune telling" written on it.
It looks like he is full of force, and there are really a few people around him waiting for him to calculate it for himself.
Xu Ling's mind flashed, but unfortunately it flashed too fast, he didn't catch it, so he had to stop there and watch quietly for a while.
The small river under the stone bridge, the surface of the river is sparkling, and there are a few boats moored, both men and women, but leisurely.
Xu Ling also saw an old acquaintance, when he was selling printed pears, he asked a scholar named Luo Cheng to write him a red letter post. Not far away, there were several people in green shirts sitting on the boat, and one of them stood up and chanted some sour poems loudly to the willow trees on both sides.
Luo Cheng sat in the cabin, his neck curled, and the other people seemed to be laughing at him, making him beg for mercy.
Xu Ling looked around, looking at all kinds of people, just from the appearance of each person, he could guess a person's identity......
Identity!
Xu Ling's eyes flashed, and he slapped his thigh, "I'll go!" ”
He only cares about the autumn pear paste pulled by a cart, but he is not a wholesale seller, a vendor pulled by a cart, or a medicine seller who holds a cloth banner and pretends to be a master, which can sell the goods at a high price?
The latter, of course!
No matter how good his goods are, they are just sugar paste boiled from pears, and they are not real white sugar and cane sugar, if it is not for the skin of a half-hung warlock, where can it be sold so quickly!
Thinking of this, Xu Ling hurriedly found a vacant place to take back the cart, and continued to carry the autumn pear paste on his back in a basket, walking the streets and alleys to sell.
There are so many more autumn pear pastes sold in the afternoon than in the morning!
In the evening, Xu Ling went to the rich area.
Unlike the places where ordinary people live, the people who live in these streets are either rich or expensive. Red vermilion door, stone lions, and sometimes you can see the plaque in front of the door that says X House.
It's a pity that no traders are allowed to do business here, and Xu Ling was driven away by the servants not long after he entered.
How do you say that?
"Don't bully the poor of the youth, don't bully the poor of the middle-aged, don't bully the ......poor of the elderly, don't bully the poor of the elderly," Xu Ling muttered to himself, and laughed at himself: "The dead are the greatest." ”
But soon, Xu Ling found a loophole that could be exploited.
When he saw some people going around through the small alleys like sheep's intestines, he followed them curiously, and found that every house of these rich and noble people had a side door.
This is the place where the maids and servants often stay, and some of them are bold, and they open the back door directly and look out.
When a little girl saw Xu Ling, her eyes lit up, and she shouted in a low voice: "Hey, what are you selling?" Can there be a double-sided brocade in Quanzhou? ”
What is that?
Xu Ling had never heard of it.
He separated himself from a distance and said honestly: "I am a seller of cough candy cream, and I don't have the veil you want." ”
The girl was not very old, the light in her eyes was dim, she pouted and stomped her feet, "Why didn't you sell anything?" So what money is there to make? ”
Xu Ling hurriedly asked, "Where do you want to buy the double-sided Jinpa?" ”
"Where to go? Naturally, it's Quanzhou! ”
The girl choked her nose, as if she was very disgusted with Xu Ling's short-sightedness.
Xu Ling was a little amused, "Since only Quanzhou can buy it, why do you embarrass us little foot merchants and don't go there to buy it?" ”
"You ......" the girl's round face and round eyes widened angrily, "this girl is giving you the idea of making money, do you know who my father is?" ”
Most of her body leaned out from behind the door, and said to Xu Ling proudly.
When Xu Ling saw the clothes she was wearing, the jade bracelet on her wrist, and the pearl on her head, she knew that she couldn't be a maid.
Maybe it's a young lady who wants to see the world.
Xu Ling replied nonchalantly, "I don't know." ”
With that, he raised his feet and left.
