Chapter 51

The temple fair has more people in the morning and fewer people in the afternoon, and it has to be closed early in the evening.

And the stuff in Miaoweifang was sold out before noon, leaving only a little scum, which Huo Lin shared with Er Ya.

He quickly packed up his things, locked the door of the temple shop, and went down the mountain with a jar of money. On the way, he stopped at a noodle stall, and everyone ate a big bowl of wontons.

After eating and drinking enough, he called an ox cart and went home.

A pickle jar full of copper coins is not light.

They took turns holding her, and when they arrived at the door of the house, all five of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the money jar was placed on the table in the main room, and the five people sat on each side. Shen Hui sat next to her sister, and Old Man Huo dragged a chair and sat in the yard.

The big girl murmured: "Hey, there are so many, I'm afraid there are many, many copper coins." She doesn't know how to count, but only knows that there are many, many.

Shen Qing was a little dazed and said, "How about we count?"

"Don't do it!" Erya didn't care, "I'm almost exhausted." I have to go tomorrow for ten days in a row. I thought it was just for shopping, but never thought that it would only be one day, my voice, my legs, ugh ...It’s almost useless.

Huo Lin also looked downcast, "You have to go to bed early, otherwise you won't be able to get up in the morning."

Shen Hui said: "Then I'll make the meal early. Let's eat early and go to bed early."

Uncle Huo saw that several of them were paralyzed from exhaustion, but Shen Qing was still in good spirits, so he said with a smile: "Nothing is easy, you have to bear it!"

Shen Qing tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table, "If Cuicui can help me tomorrow, I'll call her brother too. Sister, don't go tomorrow. Although we have prepared a lot of dry goods, we're afraid it's not enough, so You have to stay at home to do the logistical work, and then let Grandma Fan come to help, so it will be easier for you."

Shen Hui nodded, she really didn't want to go anymore, she still preferred to stay at home.

I also made an agreement with the pig butcher, so I don't need to worry too much.

Pork is not mass-raised, it is raised by the farmers themselves, so if you want more pork belly, you can’t get it. The sign of Miaoweifang was posted.

For this reason, she spent a full tael of silver, found a stone carver, and made a seal, and all the oil paper used to wrap food was stamped.

It's just that people don't know where Miaoweifang's shop is. She has thought about this issue too, and now she won't rent the shop, and only let a few shops sell it on behalf of her, and she told the customers the same.

For one thing, the shops in the town are not cheap, and at least half a year's rent is paid, and she doesn't have that much cash.

Secondly, she didn't want to leave Crescent Moon Bay, and finally turned the wasteland into farmland, and her life improved.

Shen Qing recorded everyone's wages in a book, and calculated them after the temple fair was over. Da Ya and Huo Lin didn't object to this, but Er Ya pouted and said she wanted to work at a stall at the temple fair. I bought some gadgets and wanted to pay some copper coins in advance, but the big girl twisted my ears and gave me a hard lesson.

"Don't worry, wait until the last day, and I will let you have a good time shopping."

The next day, everyone in the Fan family went down the mountain except Aunt Fan.

Cao Dahai came here with an ox cart at dawn, and Shen Qing asked Grandma Fan to help her sister take care of the family affairs, and then set off with a cart full of goods.

Aunt Wu was here today, with a basket on her arm, which contained paper money for joss sticks. She was going to burn incense in the temple, so she came together.

Sitting in the bullock cart, Wu Juhua looked at this and then at that, couldn't help complaining, and said, "Do you two still know where the house is?"

"Mom... aren't we here to make money? We'll go back after the temple fair!" Erya hugged her arm and acted like a baby.

Wu Juhua poked her on the forehead, "Just play and talk, and make money. If my mother relies on you to make money, I'll be drinking the northwest wind!"

"It's just to make money. The third sister said that after the temple fair, she will calculate the wages for us. It will be more than my father's long-term employment!" Erya was afraid that she would not be afraid, so he counted on his fingers and told her how good the business was yesterday. He also talked about how much money he earned, "Such a big earthen pot is filled with copper plates. Mom, you have never seen so many copper plates in your life, right?"

Wu Juhua looked at the full load of things on the bullock cart, but still didn't believe it, "The cost of what you got is not low, right? Also, there are so many pork belly. After shaving off the cost, how much can be left? Don't be a kid's family. , will not settle accounts."

Cao Dahai was very happy, and while waving his whip, he explained to her, "It's earned, of course it is earned, and I did the accounting for her. At least double the earning, it's not in vain for their hard work."

Only Aunt Wu and Erya were riding in the bullock cart, and everyone else was walking beside them.

Fan Xiaoshan and Huo Lin had quick legs and ran away first.

After hearing these words, Aunt Wu's mind was filled with excitement. She leaned forward and went to talk to Shen Qing, "Girl Qing, your uncle's wages must be calculated if he rushes back and forth to pull goods, right? Otherwise, hurry up." At the temple fair, he can make a lot of money by going to the White Horse Temple area to sell goods!"

Cao Dahai turned back to stare at her, and said in a bad tone: "You don't have to worry about this, Qing'er has already explained it, and it won't make you suffer!"

The big girl was also dissatisfied, "Mom, even if you don't get paid, let's help, it's a big deal, don't talk about it, it's just money."

"You damn girl, what happened to the money? Without money, will your brother be able to marry a wife in the future? Will you be able to have a dowry in the future? Isn't all this money money? Don't think you are the only one who can do favors, if it weren't for You guys, I also want to be a favor every day!" Wu Juhua's mouth was like a watering can, and she couldn't close it once she opened it. After she finished scolding Da Ya, she scolded Cao Dahai again, just scolding him for being useless, and finally scolded him harshly. He pinched Erya hard and scolded her for eating everything inside and outside.

Fan Cuicui was extremely contemptuous, but it was difficult to stop her, so she straddled Shen Qing's arm and kept winking at her.

Shen Qing actually didn't care, but hearing her tone getting stronger and stronger, he had to express his position, "Don't worry, aunt, uncle's bullock cart cannot be used in vain. Even if uncle is willing, the old cows still have to feed! Come and go, Do you think it’s worth fifty cents?”

"Fifty renminbi? Of course it's a success. You are a generous girl, and you can see that you are expected to do great things!" Wu Juhua changed her face very quickly, and immediately laughed and praised her.

Fan Cuicui became even more disdainful, and whispered to Shen Qing, "My brother came back from town yesterday and said something interesting. Do you know the Sun family in the east of the town? They are ugly, and their family is always rich. , I got a house full of little daughter-in-laws, and they don’t do good things all day long, I heard Huo Lin say that you were going to the market, and you were almost hit by his carriage, right?"

Shen Qing blinked, how did he mention him, "Well, what's wrong?"

Fan Cuicui became even more energetic, and the hands holding her arms were tight, "What's wrong? Huh! He was out of luck. I heard that someone broke his leg, not one leg, but both legs. Don't want to go to the ground again in this life, you will become a useless person!"
