Zhang Man'er has been collecting five poisons in the village these days. He has already collected three poisons, but he is short of poisonous snakes and centipedes.
This poisonous snake is easy to deal with. I will meet it in the mountains, but it's hard to meet the centipede. It's only possible to meet it after it rains. But it's sunny every day and the sun is shining in the sky. How can it rain?
This is the fair. She is going to the drugstore to buy poisonous centipedes. After getting up early, she packed uncle Liu's ox cart and went to Xue Yu's house.
There were more than three baskets of canned fish in the house, which were loaded with baskets, were carried to the cart. The jar was heavy, and the two women had some difficulty in carrying it. They raised their big hands and carried it to the cart very light.
Zhang Man'er looks up and sees Xue Chuan's face in front of him. As soon as his face sinks, he turns to the ox cart and doesn't speak. Anyway, he will lift it. Why show off his strength.
Soon, the three baskets were easily lifted by Xue Chuan to the ox cart. Xiaoshi was still at home. Zhang Man'er sat on the edge, looking at the scenery. Xue Yu was sitting in the middle, separating the two couples. Even she felt the subtle changes between them.
I went earlier this time. When I got to the town, it was just dawn. They chose their old position and started to set up stalls.
"Xue Chuan, sister-in-law, you have come to town so early this time?" A group of officers in brown official clothes walked down the street. Seeing the familiar people, Lian Tiesheng came to greet them.
When Zhang Man'er saw that it was him, he was also surprised that they were so early. He imagined that Xue Chuan had lived like this before, which should be very hard.
Having heard Xue Chuan talk about Tiesheng's good health, Zhang Man'er's hostility to the visitors has dropped a lot. She pursed her lips and said, "well, brother Tiesheng, we got up a little early. Aren't we afraid there are no stalls here? You're very early, too. It's hard work. "
These officials are supposed to safeguard the safety of the town. Today is a special day for the fair. They will work an hour in the morning than usual. After a tour of the street, they will see them.
Not long ago, Xue Chuan was still one of the majestic members of their team. This meeting was just like an ordinary hawker. He worked hard for that little money. Even Tiesheng was a little sad when he saw it: "this is a fair. We should go to work earlier."
Looking at Xue Chuan's appearance of being out of the room, tie Sheng feels very nervous. It seems that he can't go back to the past with Xue Chuan. He is still very concerned about Xue Chuan. He asks about his physical condition and tells him something about the Yamen recently.
Zhang Man'er is listening quietly, and his doubts about Lian Tiesheng are gradually dispelled like clouds.
Lian Tiesheng was just like a brother to Xue Chuan. She was very embarrassed when she thought of driving him out last time, so she took two clay cans to him and said, "brother Lian, thank you for your concern for Xue Chuan. This is our canned fish. It tastes good. Take two cans to have a taste."
Even Tiesheng naturally didn't know what she said about canned fish, but it was their small business. How could he want it?
"Brother and sister, you're welcome. It's not easy for you to do some small business. I can't take it," he said
Zhang Man'er had a good feeling: "brother Lian, you're welcome. We'll set up a stall in the town in the future, and you'll have to take care of it. Besides, this can is made at home. If it's delicious, you can publicize it."
This little daughter-in-law is really good at business. Xue Chuan looks at her a few more times, but Zhang Man'er is aware of it and doesn't bother to give him a look. She is still very angry these days and doesn't want to pay attention to him.
Even Tiesheng listened to her description, what golden crisp fragrance, this hear saliva almost flow out, curious to open a look, a fish spicy smell came out, people can't help swallowing a few saliva, this delicious food, must be very delicious.
When Zhang Man'er saw that the officials were eager to try, he immediately took the chopsticks and motioned them to pick them up and have a taste.
"It smells good. Is it made of fish? It's spicy. It's very appetizing. " Said an official.
Another official had oil on his mouth. He wanted to eat a piece of it, but it was not delicious. He went to get it and said, "sister-in-law, how do you sell it? Give me a can."
"I'll take it, too. This is good. Make some porridge for breakfast to go with this."
Unexpectedly, they helped to make a good start. Zhang Man'er smiles and takes a can for everyone: "this can be sold to others for 15 Wen, but it's 12 Wen for you."
Zhang Man'er said, anyway, the price of two cans in her daily life is the same, so she should make more profits. Who makes them all captors? They are Xue Chuan's former brothers?
In this way, three cans were sold and two were given away.
Zhang Man'er replaced the can they tried. Lian Tiesheng paid for it and refused for a long time. Then he gave up: "OK, brother-in-law, thank you. Good food. I'll help you publicize it."
"OK, slow down."
With a good start, it will be much easier next time. Because I put it last time, I met many regular customers.
This is not in front of me. This aunt took three cans at once, and Zhang Man'er gave a preferential price and received 35 Wen.
Putting the three clay cans into the basket, the aunt said with a smile, "you little lady, you are good at business and the food is delicious. I'll come back next time."
"All right, auntie, take your time."
Looking at the small booth from time to time someone came, and Xue Yu was also very busy. She took a look at them and said, "Xue Chuan, elder sister, please be busy. I'll go to the pharmacy to have a look."
As soon as Xue Yu heard about the drugstore, she guessed that she was going to mix some herbs for Xue Chuan's illness. Naturally, she would not retort. She nodded and said, "Man'er, don't worry. I can do it here."
Once she came to the market and set up a stall with them, she could stand in their own way. This small business is nothing more than opening her voice. The attitude should be warm, the food should be clean and delicious, and the familiar customers will come.
If you come to town many times, are you afraid that you will not be able to earn money in the future?
"Well, I'll trouble you."
Zhang Man'er then went to the street, and soon the pretty figure merged into the bustling crowd, until he could not see.
Looking at Xue Chuan take back the line of sight, Xue Yu light cough asked: "what's the matter, the couple quarreled?"
This sentence has been in her heart for a long time. When she came out of the village, she found that there was something wrong with them. During this period, she also heard a lot of rumors about Zhang Man'er.
On the day of marriage, he jumped into the river and met a scholar in the street. His old love is not over. It is also said that Zhang Man'er would like Xue Chuan to die early so that he can remarry.
Other people don't know, she get along with these days can not know?
