Chapter 63
Yu Yi got home in the middle of the night.
When the carriage didn't come back, the pillar couldn't sleep. He kept listening to the movement outside. He heard the sound of the horse's hooves far away. He got up, put on his clothes and ran out.
Lan'er didn't fall asleep either, and got up with him.
Yu Yi is very embarrassed, his clothes are stained with a lot of soil, and his hair is messy.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, I looked up and saw that it was the pillar by the only lantern borrowed from the coachman of the villa halfway in front of the carriage. With a heavy sigh of relief, I angrily threw the reins on the ground.
I don't know what happened. On the way back, the horse was very dishonest, which made him nervous all the way, and almost followed him back.
"Yu Juren."
The pillar ran very fast. In a twinkling of an eye, he came to see the reins on the ground. He quickly picked them up and grasped them tightly.
Yu Yi snorted and vented all his accumulated anger on him. "I said Zhu, this is our carriage, not yours. Why are you so nervous?"
"I..."
Zhu has always been honest and can't answer.
Lan'er just heard it and retorted, "Yu Juren, what you said is right, but my sister-in-law gave us the carriage, so we have to watch it."
Yu Yi choked speechless, mercilessly shook his sleeve and went home unsteadily.
Zhu also hastened to drive the carriage home. He unloaded the carriage first and fed it with fodder. He was distressed to see that the horse didn't look up to eat.
....
Xia Xi wakes up. When she comes out of the stall, she shouts Qi'er to get up. After dressing and washing, she goes out of the house.
Pillar and Lan'er are waiting outside. Several people get on the carriage and see that Lan'er's eyes are red. Xia Xi asks, "what's the matter, didn't sleep well?"
Lan'er yawned, "Yu Ju drove the carriage back in the middle of the night last night, which delayed his sleep."
"Can we hold on today? No, we'll take a day off."
Smell speech, LAN Er immediately stares big eye, wave a hand, "need not, need not, turn head to wash a face with cold water, what matter also did not have."
"Can you hold it?"
Xia Xi asked again.
Lan'er patted her chest, "it's really OK. Don't worry. We can hold on even for one day in the morning."
Xia Xi nodded, let Qi'er sit beside him anxiously, make room, let Lan'er lie down, "you close your eyes and sleep for a while, when you arrive, I'll call you."
Lan'er waved her hand and refused to sleep.
Zhu is very energetic. On the way, he meets people who come out early to sell fish in the village and says hello.
When they arrived at the market, they just tied up the horse. Mr. Zhang's men didn't know where they came from and said to Xia Xi with a smile, "big... Lady Xia, the things our brothers sent to you today are on your booth."
Xia Xi a Leng, immediately nod, "thank you."
His hands waved, "thank you or our brothers thank you. If it wasn't for you yesterday, my mother might have died."
The old lady is ill all the year round. The doctor has already told her that she must be attended by someone around her. Otherwise, once she faints, if she can't get timely medical help, she may never wake up.
But the old lady only has Mr. Zhang as a son, and she has not married. Mr. Zhang has to come out to earn money, so it is inevitable that she will not be able to take care of him.
"It's not worth mentioning. Thank you very much. I'll have a bowl of boiled fish at the stall later."
His hands have been greedy for a long time. After hearing Xia Xi say this, his eyes are bright.
But the thought of Mr. Zhang is gloomy again. If they dare to eat and don't give money, Mr. Zhang will have to deal with them.
"No, it's easy for us."
By the end of the day, the tables and stools were all set up and cleaned.
Pillar, Laner
Look at each other, and then look at Xia Xi at the same time.
They came early. They used to pull things. After they came back and set them up, the fish seller in the village almost arrived. But today, the work has been done by others. What do they do.
"Let's go and have breakfast first."
A listen to spend money, LAN Er don't want to go, "or don't go, wait for the people in the village to come for a while, we buy a few Wotou to eat."
It's cheap, and it's good to eat.
"When Qi'er is still growing up, she can't always let him eat chicken."
"Then you go with Kiel, and we'll stay and watch the stall. If there are so many things, it's not good to lose one or two."
"Mr. Zhang is covering us. Who dares to take our things? Let's eat a bowl of wonton. When we're full, it's time for the villagers to arrive."
Zhu and Lan'er had no choice but to follow them to the wonton stall.
Their business is booming. When they come to their wonton stalls, the boss is so happy that he wipes the clean benches with a towel. After that, he makes several people sit down and cooks them a bowl full of wonton. He brings them to several people and says, "let's eat and give some advice after eating."
They are all for food. There are long lines in front of other people's stalls every day, but their own stalls can't sell many coppers a day.
"You have to ask my sister-in-law for advice. She's a good cook. She figured out how to cook fish in water."
The boss's eyes fall on Xia Xi. His eyes are burning and he looks forward to it.
Xia Xi is not big, scooped a wonton into his mouth, finished, nodded, "it's delicious."
The boss's eyes brightened, "does lady Xia really think it tastes good?"
"It's good."
The boss couldn't close his mouth happily. Just as someone passed by the stall, he immediately said, "sit down and eat a bowl of wonton. Lady Xia, who sells boiled fish, says that my wonton is delicious."
Xia Xi
After eating the wonton, I went back to my stall. Several women who sold dry food arrived in the ox cart. There were two buckets on the cart, which contained fish.
A woman called the pillar, carried the bucket down and told Xia Xi, "the village head is afraid to delay your business. Let's bring the fish first."
The pillar carried the fish to kill, and several women set up their own stalls, and then steamed the steamed buns quickly. There were still some steamed buns left yesterday, and they would heat them on the cage drawer for a while.
A quarter of an hour later, people came to line up one after another, and the business was still booming, even earlier than the one sold out yesterday.
Zhu and Lan'er look at the sun above their heads and think it's too early to close the stall. They discuss with Xia Xi, "sister-in-law, otherwise we'll buy some more fish?"
Xia Xi shakes his head, "no, I'll sell more today. What about tomorrow and the future? Money can never be earned
She has a firm attitude, and the two of them don't say anything any more. She cleans up the stall quickly.
Pack it up and take it to the yard over there.
Hearing the news, yesterday's old woman opened the front and back door and saw that Xia Xi entered the yard. She immediately had a smile on her face and said, "Lady Xia."
Let go, go to the old woman, Xia Xi said with a smile, "you look good today."
"It's not thanks to your help yesterday, otherwise I would have buried this old bone in the ground."
"Well, you're lucky and lucky. You'll be fine."
"That's good."
The old lady was very happy, "I'm waiting for you. Yesterday you saved me. I want to invite you to dinner."
