Chapter 9
Mo's family was at the head of the village, and Mo Qianrui left the village after a few steps with his father.

Most of the roads in the village are gravel roads. Although they are not very smooth, there is not much soil.Of course, walking in the mud on purpose doesn't count.But after leaving Yangliu Village, the road surface began to deteriorate, and there were quite a few shallow pits in some places.

"Big girl, watch carefully when you walk, don't fall." Father adjusted the back basket, lowered his head and smiled and reminded.

Mo Qianrui nodded, remembering that the memory of the original owner did not involve outside the village, obviously he had never left the village.Anyway, being idle is idle, Mo Qianrui simply found a topic and asked: "Father, are we going to Aniang's mother's house?"

"That's right. Alas, your aunt is suffering. Speaking of it, the Mo family is sorry for her..." Dad suddenly sighed, seeing Mo Qianrui's blank face, he didn't hide it, and he just talked about it. past.

It turned out that A Niang's natal family was in Liujiazhuang, a distance from Liyangliu Village.

This Zhuangzi is different from the village, not only because of the title, but because the households in the Zhuangzi are all tenant farmers.

Everything in Liujiazhuang belongs to a big family surnamed Liu. The village household works for the master and has no private property.Fortunately, the Liu family is not harsh on the farmers. If the harvest is poor, they will reduce the rent appropriately, which is not bad.However, although life is passable, the farm households have no private property, let alone the fields, and even the house they live in belongs to the master.Therefore, many farmers dream of buying a family business. Of course, this can only be thought about.

It is difficult to set up a family business, but it is easy to marry a daughter to a family with property.A Niang looks very outstanding, she is a well-known beauty in Liujiazhuang.And although the Mo family is now in decline, the Mo family mansion is still very capable of fooling people.Besides, even if they were defeated, the Mo family still had several acres of land in their hands.

"... At the beginning, your grandmother was worried about my marriage. The situation of our Mo family is nothing more than that of other people, can you hide it from the people in the village? Later, your grandmother collected a lot of money, I married your aunt."

What he said sounds like Grandma marrying Grandma.

Mo Qianrui complained silently in her heart, but suddenly remembered something: "Since Liujiazhuang is all tenant farmers, let's go to set up a barbecue stall, will anyone come to buy it?" The other things are not important, let's sell the chicken first Changing the chick is the most important thing.

"Big girl, you think too much, don't underestimate this farmer's family. Even if they don't have much money on hand, they are rich in things. I've thought about it, even if you can't exchange money, you can exchange some needles, threads, or brains. Let’s go back with some salt. Besides, the other tenant farmers have no money, but the steward’s family is very rich.”

Talking while walking, when the sun rose overhead, the father and daughter finally arrived at their destination.Fortunately, they didn't gather until sunset. Although it was a bit late at the moment, it was just in time for the excitement.

Witnessing a farmer's market for the first time, Mo Qianrui was a little dazed.Dad has experience, so he quickly found a leeward space, found some stones and built a simple barbecue platform, and when Mo Qianrui came back to his senses, the fire had already been lit.At this time, Mo Qianrui had no choice but to be thankful that Father came with him, she was fine with other things, but she was powerless to build the stove and light the fire.

"What is the big girl still doing? Hurry up, everyone is hungry right now."

Under Father's urging, Mo Qianrui quickly took out the skewered chicken skewers.This is her old profession, Li Suo put the chicken skewers on the simple barbecue table, and the smell of meat wafted out after a while.

These days, even a family with a little wealth can eat meat only a few times throughout the year.In addition, barbecue is easy to smell, and it is noon now, and many people who go to the market rush here early in the morning. How can they bear the smell of meat?

And Mo Qianrui, in order to make the smell of meat linger further, asked Father to find a few banana leaves nearby and fan them vigorously.Not long after, many children gathered in front of the barbecue stand.

There are children onlookers, and most of the success of this matter.No matter what era it is, parents always favor their children, and soon an aunt asked how to sell it.

Dad just wanted to say that he would just exchange it for something, but Mo Qianrui cut him off before he even opened his mouth.

"Delicious chicken, two pennies a piece, three pennies a piece!" On the way here, Mo Qianrui asked roughly about the currency prices.I learned that an adult live hen costs about [-] to [-] yuan, and a small chicken costs [-] yuan, and the chicken skewers skewered by Mo Qianrui are not small, and you need two yuan for a skewer .

The price sounds a bit expensive at first glance, but the aunt bowed her head for a little calculation, and immediately laughed: "Little girl can't count, right? Two strings are worth two pennies, and the two strings cost four pennies. This child... "

It's hard for Mo Qianrui to say that this is her marketing strategy. After all, the chicken won't last long in midsummer. Besides, the aunt also has good intentions, so she simply said in a loud voice: "Buy more and get more! Auntie, would you like a bunch? "

Seeing that Mo Qianrui insisted on this, the aunt turned her head to look at Dad who was standing aside, seeing that she had no intention of objecting, she didn't say anything, and said directly: "Then I'll buy three pennies and two strings."

It is human nature to be greedy for petty gain, but it cannot be said that it is definitely wrong, at least Mo Qianrui thinks it is nothing.

With the first person to eat crabs, the small barbecue stall opened quickly.Mo Qianrui was busy grilling skewers and asked his father to help collect the money.Because the people here use iron money, and they pay three Wen each time, even though they are a little busy, they can't make mistakes.

While grilling the meat skewers, Mo Qianrui was thinking about the cost in her mind. She estimated that she had skewered about 750 skewers. If they could be sold, it should cost [-] Wen.The condiments cost nothing, not to mention the firewood and labor costs. If this was the case, the family could still make some money.

The fantasy is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The business of the small barbecue stall is good, but there are not many people in this market.After most people have tasted the taste, the stall will be deserted.

Looking at the back basket, Mo Qianrui found that at least one third of it had not been sold.After pondering for a while, he turned around and asked Father how much he charged, but Father was already so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth, and said that there were at least several hundred Wen.After a moment of embarrassment, Mo Qianrui felt that what he just asked was useless.

After staying in front of the stall for a while, seeing that no one came, Mo Qianrui simply asked the aunt next to him if there was anyone selling chickens in the village.That aunt was the first to patronize Mo Qianrui's business at first, and said very warmly that her family had one.Mo Qianrui didn't bother to go any further, so she called her father to close the stall and go to her aunt's house.The aunt is a farmer in the village, and her husband is still a small steward. She lives not far from the market, and she will arrive there in a short time.
