Chapter 89: Gorgeous Fireworks Dazzling Eyes
Shen Yi followed the crowd out and stood under the eaves.
When Shopkeeper Li lit the fuse, everyone held their breath. Then there was a loud bang and a big red chrysanthemum bloomed in the dark night sky, lighting up the night sky.
The people who had never seen such big fireworks were stunned, and then there were enthusiastic cheers from the street.
Shopkeeper Li was the first to come back to his senses. He nodded with satisfaction, and just as he lowered his head, he found that the second firework was green.
This time he was really shocked, "Different colors?"
In the past, the big fireworks he set off were all the same color and size, and there were no fireworks of different colors.
Before anyone could react, the third and fourth fireworks burst into the sky one after another. There were colors of gold, blue, purple, red, green, chrysanthemum, baby's breath, tassels, etc. The various patterns were too dazzling to be seen.
Those who vowed to count the number of fireworks completely forgot their purpose and just stood there stupidly with their heads raised.
Everyone was still not satisfied until the fireworks were over.
The guests who were having dinner in the inn also watched the fireworks, praised them highly, and asked the shopkeeper Li where to buy the fireworks.
Shopkeeper Li hurriedly pushed Shen Yi in front of everyone, "This is the person who sells fireworks. You can find him if you need anything."
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Li." Shen Yi said sincerely.
Shopkeeper Li laughed, "You're welcome! This little ounce of silver is well spent tonight."
He didn't say where it was worth it, and Shen Yi didn't think much about it.
That night, all of Shen Yi’s remaining fireworks were snatched away, and many people chased him to ask if there would be any in stock at the market tomorrow.
Shen Yi had no choice but to check out before dawn and drive the donkey cart back to Shenjiazhuang.
It was the first time that Su Tai was alone in her empty room after getting married, and she couldn't sleep!
As soon as Shen Yi came back, she rushed out to open the door. Seeing that the donkey cart was empty, she hurriedly asked, "Why are you back at this hour? Are all the items sold out?"
Shen Yi didn't bother to say anything more and asked Su Tai to load up all the remaining fireworks and firecrackers at home.
Su Tai was worried, so she followed them to Dahe Town.
It was already past noon when the couple arrived in town.
They didn't expect that there were still a bunch of people guarding them in the wind and snow. When they saw Shen Yi, a bunch of people swarmed over like locusts and stopped the two of them at the entrance of the town.
Chen Yi sold things and Su Tai collected money, much faster than yesterday.
In just half an hour, all the fireworks were sold out.
The people who came behind didn't even get a small firecracker, and they were so angry that they stamped their feet and refused to let Shen Yi leave.
Su Tai was so scared that she quickly rubbed against Shen Yi and said loudly: "Come and tell me what you want now, and we will come again in three days, okay?"
Now everyone finally stopped making noise and lined up to report their numbers.
The couple worked for another quarter of an hour before they were finally freed and quickly got on the donkey cart and ran away.
On the way, Su Tai wiped the cold sweat from her head with a look of fear on her face, "Luckily I was smart just now, otherwise we would both be stuck in the town and unable to go back!"
Shen Yi quickened his pace again, and when they got home, they quickly closed the courtyard gate and carried the three little black dogs into the main room.
Su Tai ran to the sheep pen and got some goat milk to boil. The couple each had a bowl, and the dog also had a portion.
Only after drinking the warm goat's milk did she feel alive.
"How much money did you make from this batch of fireworks?"
Shen Yi took out the purse and started counting it in front of Su Tai.
One tael, two taels.
"The total is more than fifty-five taels."
Having said that, he quickly collected the silver and money and handed it to Su Tai for arrangement.
Su Tai smiled and tapped the edge of the table, thinking: "I thought fireworks were not easy to sell, but I didn't expect so many people to be vying for them. This time I guess I have to order 300 strings of firecrackers, 100 fireworks, and other firecrackers."
It is estimated to cost 10,000 virtual coins.
She didn't say this to anyone.
Shen Yi was a little worried, "Is there not enough goods?"
Su Tai shook her head. "This stuff can be stored. It's no problem to order more. At worst, I can sell it in Moshi Town or bring it back to Dongmen Village to ask my mother for help."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then let's do as you wish. I can just find time to make a nest for the dog in the next two days."
Su Tai still had some bricks, cement and gravel left from the batch of bricks she had bought earlier, enough to build a spacious house for the three dogs.
The couple acted separately.
After Su Tai placed the order in Fire Time and Space, she immediately went out to help Shen Yi.
You know what, building this kind of doghouse is like playing house, it's really fun.
She played for a while and got addicted.
Seeing that she was happy, Shen Yi said, “Then get a few more and build a doghouse in the four directions of the yard, east, south, west and north. The three dogs won’t fight when they can’t live separately.”
"This is good!" Su Tai started to work happily.
On the first day, they could only make the prototype of the doghouse, and the roof would take another day or two. When Su Tai couldn't help, she ran to the water time and space to fish.
Three days later, the batch of fireworks was delivered.
Chen Yi also took the goods to Dahe Town as soon as possible. After setting off a string of firecrackers, people on the street appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, one by one, and gradually more and more people appeared.
Soon, Shen Yi's stall was surrounded by people.
Perhaps it was because people had spread the word by word of mouth during the past three days, and the number of people coming to buy fireworks and firecrackers today was obviously greater than those who placed orders that day.
At this moment, Shen Yi was extremely grateful for Su Tai's foresight.
A truckload of goods was sold out after a long time. More people came later but still got nothing.
Shen Yi sold for three days in a row before business gradually slowed down. He guessed that the market was saturated.
Seeing that there were still a lot of fireworks left, he decided to go to Moshi Town to take a look.
As soon as I arrived in the town and set off a string of firecrackers, several people rushed out angrily, "You are such a swindler, you are so evil-minded and you are not afraid of retribution!"
Shen Yi was confused, and hurriedly stopped those people, asking in a gentle voice, "I didn't do anything bad, nor did I offend anyone, why are you scolding me like this?"
Those people were just using this as an excuse to vent their anger, but they didn't expect Shen Yi to get to the bottom of it. They looked a little embarrassed, and even a little angry.
"Don't you know? On the day of the big market, several towns came to sell fireworks and firecrackers. Each firecracker cost fifty coins, and a bucket of fireworks cost five taels of silver. Everyone sold some firecrackers with a painful heart, but they didn't expect to be ripped off!"
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yi unkindly and asked, “How much are you selling for?”
Shen Yi was not panicked and said honestly: "Firecrackers are ten cents, and a large barrel of fireworks is one tael."
Now it was those people's turn to be surprised.
Everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other.
"Yes, my aunt said that the price in Dahe Town is this."
A group of people locked their eyes on Shen Yi again and asked, “Where did you sell it before?”
"Dahe Town has been selling for several days in a row."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and suddenly quickly surrounded Shen Yi's donkey cart. One wanted two skewers, another wanted a few, and some people walked around the streets anxiously calling their neighbors to come out.
Soon, all the fireworks and firecrackers that Shen Yi brought were gone, and he also understood what had happened, and he was so angry that his face turned black.
