Chapter 278： Didn't win

The onlookers clicked their tongues and looked again and again. Finally, someone bought five wood pills and said they would go back and sew them into a sachet.

Five flowers are equivalent to a hundred coins, but this wood dandelion has a strong fragrance and should last for a long time.

As a result, people started to buy wood flowers one after another, and soon half of the basket of wood flowers was bought.

As the number of customers increases, some peonies and chrysanthemums are also sold.

Someone also bought melons and apples, ten at a time, which was enough money.

For a time, Yingbao was very busy.

In order to prevent anyone from taking things without paying, Jiang Sanlang stood on a stool and stared at everyone without blinking.

He actually saw someone secretly putting two big apples into his wide sleeves and trying to escape.

"Hey! Pay the money and then leave!" Jiang Sanlang jumped off the stool and grabbed the man, saying coldly: "Or put your things down!"

This man saw that Jiang Sanlang was tall and powerful, and knew that he could not defeat him, so he had no choice but to take out the apples from his sleeves and throw them into the basket.

Ying Bao saw more and more people in front of his stall, and felt a little overwhelmed. He quickly said to his father: "Dad, let's move the things to the counter."

With the counter blocking it, it should be much safer.

Jiang Sanlang also felt that setting up a stall outside was not reliable, so he moved everything back to the counter of the shop and only placed a few samples on the counter.

As a result, there are fewer people watching, but there are still many people who really want to buy something.

Sure enough, setting up a stall is still not suitable for her, Ying Bao sighed.

In one morning, a large basket of apples and a large basket of cantaloupe were sold out, and there were only a few flowers left.

Ying Bao turned around and looked at the money box. It was already full.

She just didn’t know what the situation was like over there with her second cousin. She had to go and take a look.

But before going, she had to get some apples and flowers from the cave to take home when she returned to her hometown in the afternoon.

“Dad, I’m going to see my second cousin.” Ying Bao said to Jiang Sanlang.

Jiang Sanlang nodded: "Take Dahei with you when you go out." The second nephew set up a stall on another street, and you can see it when you turn the corner from here.

"Okay." Yingbao happily ran into the backyard from the back door of the shop, went to the house and put out a basket of grapes, two baskets of apples, a basket of cantaloupe, and a large basket of flowers.

There is nothing missing at home now, the only thing missing is these things.

After that, I took Xiao Hei with me and went to find my second cousin excitedly.

Yingbao rushed to the market and saw a rogue blackmailing Jiang Quan.

“Damn! How dare you lie to me! Either pay me five taels of silver, or give me that silver bracelet!”

It turned out that the scoundrel was playing archery Guanpu with ten coins, but he shot a small porcelain doll. This made him very angry, so he grabbed Jiang Quan and wanted to win the first prize of the silver bracelet for nothing.

Of course Jiang Quan was not happy. He spent four taels of silver to buy the carved silver bracelet, just to attract customers, so he could give it to anyone casually. But this scoundrel looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Yingbao remembered, however, that this man was another brother of Zhang Jia’s concubine.

I don’t know whether he is a real brother, but this person once participated in beating his aunt Jiang Yunniang, and also went in and out of Goulan House with Zhang Jia.

Soon, Jiang Quan started to argue with this person and was unexpectedly punched in the eye.

Jiang Quan was furious and immediately started a fight with the man.

Although the rogue was not tall, he was very fierce in fights. Jiang Quan was no match for him, and he quickly pushed him to the ground and beat him violently.

Upon seeing this, Yingbao loosened the dog leash and patted Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei swooped out and gave this person a bite in the butt.

"Ouch..." The scoundrel screamed in pain. He turned around and saw a big dog rushing towards him. He was so frightened that he rolled and ran away.

Jiang Quan wiped his face and felt his right eye stinging. Yingbao pricked his eyelids and saw that he only had a superficial wound, nothing serious, so she handed him a pill and said, "It's not early, so pack up and go home."

They still have to travel a hundred miles to go back for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Jiang Quan was very frustrated.

Because his Guanpu business was not that good. Although people came to play, he did not make much money.

 He ​​originally wanted to prove that he could make a lot of money alone, but he didn't expect that the reality was not what he imagined.

Pack up your things, put them on the carriage, hitch the horse back to the shop.

At this time, my aunt Jiang Yunniang also packed her things and stood with her children at the door of the shop talking to Jiang Sanlang.

"Sanlang, can you take us with you in your carriage?" She was extremely disappointed with her husband and was not going to celebrate the New Year with him and his concubine. She just wanted to take her children and her third brother back to her parents' home.

Jiang Sanlang nodded: "It should be okay. Have you packed up? We will set off later."

The horses in the shop are tall and strong. They eat the feed prepared by my daughter and are very strong. They often pull loaded goods to and from the county town and the countryside without any problems.

It’s just a few extra people now, so it should be no problem.

“Dad! We are back.” Ying Bao jumped down from the carriage, and Xiao Hei jumped down as well.

Jiang Sanlang saw that his daughter and nephew had returned from closing the stall, so he quickly went to the door to close the shop.

After everything was done, I suddenly saw that my second nephew had a black eye, and he couldn't help but frown: "Did you get into a fight?"

"Yeah." Jiang Quan didn't want to say more, he hesitated and ran to help his little cousin move the apples.

Zhang Yuying also went to help, and together with Jiang Quan, they moved everything they wanted to bring back to the carriage.

Hong Xiao looked at the baskets of fruits in surprise and couldn't help but salivate.

Yingbao handed her a big apple, and then gave another one to the man named Zhang Xiaolang.

Jiang Yunniang took the apple, pulled off the copper hairpin on her head and made a deep slit in it. She broke the apple into two halves and gave half to her daughter Hongxiao and the other half to Zhang Xiaolang.

A few people and one dog piled into the carriage. Jiang Sanlang checked the doors and windows again, then locked the house, put a door charm on the door, locked the door, and then got on the carriage shaft and drove away.

Jiang Quan was silent at first, but when the carriage drove out of the county town, he immediately became energetic and began to talk non-stop about the Guanpu business to his younger cousin and aunt.

"Although this business can't make a lot of money in a short time, it can make a huge profit. Hehe! If you keep doing it, it will definitely be very profitable." Guan Pu is also equivalent to gambling, and the banker always wins, so Jiang Quan said this.

Jiang Yunniang said: "Don't do it. There is a family in our alley that secretly does Guanpu business. As a result, someone reported it and the government came and arrested all the men in his family. They haven't been released yet."

The court has explicitly prohibited gambling. Once discovered, you will either be fined or imprisoned, and will not be tolerated.

Even so, there are still people who secretly open casinos in secret and make huge profits.

Yingbao rolled her eyes at her second cousin: "Can't you make money by doing business with your first cousin?"

Jiang Quan scratched his head and did not dare to say anything more.

He and his elder brother are indeed very profitable in business. This year alone, he has made more than a thousand taels.

The younger cousin earned the most. When the accounts were settled a few days ago, she received more than 4,000 taels by herself. Excluding the several hundred taels spent on building a house and purchasing furniture, the younger cousin took a total of more than 3,000 taels in cash.

The second is the eldest brother.

Jiang Cheng still planted a lot of golden ears this year, so he earned much more than his second brother, earning more than two thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Quan is not jealous of his eldest brother and younger cousin, but he suddenly became a millionaire, his mind is a little wandering, and he feels that everything he does is easy.

So I wanted to try my personal abilities to see if I could earn a lot.

As a result, not only did I not make any money, I also got into a fight with others.

The point is, we haven’t won yet.
