Chapter 152： Pay first to get rewarded

Chapter 152 Pay first to get rewarded

On the day of the Luna Festival, Qiao's shop was almost overwhelmed. When Qiao Mai came back from Fucheng, he loaded a cart full of fruits, but there wasn't enough to sell them.

Rich people buy strawberries at ten taels a catty without blinking an eye, and watermelons at 800 cents each without a counter-offer. All kinds of fruits are not cheap, and when it gets dark, the shelves are empty up.

All kinds of pots for snacks are also clean.

Business Manager Niu did some calculations, and found that there were 800 taels of silver in the account that day, most of which came from strawberries.

Good things are really not afraid to sell. The money of the rich is like a strong wind. Buy it when you see it. I am really envious.

In the evening, Qiao’s house set up several tables, one for the host and three for the servants. The dishes on them were all exactly the same.

Yuanjiaqi's place was also very lively. Students could not go home during the Luna Festival, and many students sent a lot of good things to their homes.

In his dormitory, the things from the Yuan family are the best.

He gave some of the things that day to the teacher who taught him, and kept some for himself.

Mr. was very happy with the mooncakes and fruits he gave, and after tasting it, he felt that the gift from this student was the most heartfelt.

On the night of the Luna Festival, a few classmates and friends set up a big table in the house. Each of them ordered two different dishes from the kitchen and made up ten dishes.

The Yuan family imitated Qiao Mai's practice, squeezed juice for them, put the mooncakes sent by Qiao Mai on a small plate, and made fruit into a fruit plate.

Someone was naughty, secretly picked up the mooncake and took a bite.

"Well, this mooncake is delicious"

"Of course, my wife's cooking must be delicious."

"Qian's Weixiangzhai is not as good as this mooncake, and this plate feels like it's not enough for me to eat."

"Just try it, how about you eat it? Do you want to eat something else later?"

"If you can eat enough mooncakes like this at one time, what else can you eat?"

As he said that, he was about to start to get it, but was grabbed by everyone's neck and slipped away.

It’s no wonder that it tastes bad, not to mention the addition of Linghe water to the mooncakes she makes, and the ones bought from the platform are all high-tech. Although the taste is not as good as Linghe water, it is still delicious.

Every dinner here at Yuan’s family is fought, and only a few mouthfuls are eaten after fighting.

Of course, not really fighting.

The next day, Qiao Mai started to pack his luggage, packing up the children first, keeping everything simple, just bringing a change of clothes with him.

One person packs a small box and comes out. Her clothes are also a small box. It is enough to carry more money when going out. There is really no need for other things. The more things you bring, the more tiring you are.

But the old lady can't do it here, she is an elder, she has to bring clothes, things for rewards, and some commonly used medicines for the road, it is very troublesome, and there are many servants guarding the couple, which one? Everyone has to bring some.

So there is a car full of things, no wonder it takes ten days to walk on the road, this large group of people, young and old, can't move fast at all.

Going to the capital this time, she brought four children, Yuehong and Yuexia, and no one else.

As for snacks, guard her, guard her shopping platform, what can't you eat?

So, she brought nothing, seven people, seven boxes.

By the way, there are two skirts for Ms. Wang, which are also prepared in the space.

The congratulatory gift has already been given to her, so there is no need to prepare any more.

After the children knew that they were going to travel far away, they were so happy that they couldn’t even fall asleep. They chased after Qiao Mai every day and asked this and that.

Qiao Mai bought seven cloth diagonal schoolbags from the Internet and called them all to him.

"Come on, one for each person, you can usually put snacks in it, it's very convenient and practical."

The three Fenger brothers have medium-sized cross-body bags, Linger’s is small, and Yuehong Yuexia and hers are large.

Ling'er stared wide-eyed, looking at this person's bag, then at that person's bag, and then at her own bag.

"Mother, I want to carry my brother like that"

"You are still young, when you grow up, mother will make you a bigger one"

"Haha, you have big eyes and a small belly. You are a small man with such a big back. It's neither fish nor fowl."

"Hmph, then I will eat more and grow up quickly."

Before leaving, Qiao Mai prepared enough goods for the shop and put them in the warehouse. The shopkeeper Niu has the key, so he can pick it up by himself.

After thinking about it, there was nothing to explain. She went to the old lady's place, and it was almost done here.

The three carriages in the family were not enough, so she ordered two carriages at a high price with others.

One for their own family, one for the royal family, and one for the servants of the royal family. The guards rode on horseback. Two carriages followed behind them with goods.

The next morning, as soon as the truck arrived, let them have dinner with everyone, and then began to load the truck.

With the help of Qiao's mother-in-law, the car was quickly installed.

The old lady looked at the old man, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't like it.

"You take a car with your three students, remember to keep an eye on them, I want to take a car with Mrs. Qiao."

The old lady made a temporary change and drove Mr. Wang out of the car.

Qiao Mai had no choice but to tell the three children, took Linger, Yuehong and Yuexia, and got into the car of the old lady.

The shops on both sides of the official road have not yet opened, and the carriage of Qiao's family has already boarded the official road, driving slowly towards the south.

At this speed, two hundred miles a day is not bad.

The old lady opened the curtains, looked at the scene outside, and felt like, how should I put it, she was both happy and sad.

"Girl, I haven't been back to Beijing for decades."

"Your natal family is from the capital?"

"Yes, my natal family is from the capital city. At my age, my parents are gone. I have three elder brothers and one elder sister. I am the youngest at home. They all love me and dote on me. I just came to Beijing this time to see them."

"Old lady, please let me know first. I'm a country woman who doesn't understand anything, so I won't go with you."

"Are you a village woman? You can pull it off. There are village women who can read and write? There are village women who can learn martial arts? There are village women who can cook all kinds of food? Tell me, what else do you not know?"

"I don't know much about it. I practice martial arts because I don't want to be bullied. I read and read to avoid being cheated. I know how to cook food because I'm greedy."

"Haha, you."

Linger took out a paper bag from her small bag, and squeezed out a piece of jerky from it.

"Great-grandmother, eat, it's fragrant and delicious."

The old lady opened her mouth to accept the feeding from her great-granddaughter, her eyes widened with joy.

"The children are really happy to follow you."

"If I treat them well, they will treat me well in the future. Pay first and then get back."

"There are also those who are good to them, but don't know how to repay them, and they still take it for granted. What do you think?"

"I don't plan on how filial they will be in the future. If they don't throw me on the wall and beat me to death, I will burn incense."

"You, you can't talk properly."

Qiao Mai handed Linger to Yue Hong and the other two. She took out a paper bag from her bag and took out two pieces of roasted sweet potatoes.

Passed one piece to the old lady, and peeled one piece and ate it by herself.

"It's so sweet."

"Is your stuff going to be bad?"

"In the future, I won't criticize anyone. I will move myself when I can move, and I will keep my back when I can't move. Instead of lying on the bed and being waited on by others and unable to move, it is better to kill myself and reincarnate as soon as possible. It's better than suffering that."

The old lady glared at her, "Don't say that, raise a child for old age, you have three children, you are still young, when you become a real husband and wife with him, maybe you can have ten or eight children, what nonsense are you talking about?" Woolen cloth."

"I'm planning for the worst."

"People should think of the good."

"Well, when something bad happens, you won't be able to take the blow. I call it preparedness."

The old lady was eating sweet potatoes carelessly, looking at the scenery from the window.

"Why are there so many refugees this year? Even now, there are still people coming to the north."
