Xia Tian was quite surprised to see Butler Wang coming to pick up the goods so early, as it was not even the agreed time!
When Butler Wang saw Xia Tian's stall, he hurried over and said anxiously, "Young Boss, you're finally here. Do you have any extra pig heads for today? I need an extra 20 kilograms."
"Why so much?" Xia Tian was surprised!
It's only been one day, what happened?
"You don't know, a friend bought braised pig's head from you yesterday. My master happened to be visiting someone else and tasted it. He came home and asked me to buy 50 kilograms to set the table today."
Butler Wang took a breath and said, "I've come to see you three times this morning. I'm afraid if I come too late you'll have sold out."
"Oh, yes. I'll weigh it for you now." Xia Tian picked up the scale and weighed the fifty kilograms of pork head meat swiftly. When he was about to find a backpack to put it in, he saw Butler Wang waving his hand behind him.
It turned out that Butler Wang brought people and a backpack with him, so it seemed that he was well prepared.
Steward Wang directed his men to put the meat into baskets and send it back first.
He took out a silver coin worth one ounce and handed it to Xia Tian.
She took it and said, "Thank you, Butler Wang. Please wait a moment."
Then he took out two pieces of oil paper and quickly wrapped two packages of braised pig intestines and dried tofu, tied them with straw rope and handed them to Butler Wang, "This is for you to go with your wine. Thank you for taking care of my business."
Butler Wang paused, then took it and said, "Young Boss, you're welcome!"
Xia Tian sent Butler Wang away with a smile.
After the people left, she started to get busy again.
There are more than twice as many people at the market today than usual, and the streets are bustling and packed with people!
There is never a shortage of people in front of the stall in the summer.
In addition to the fifty pounds of pork head meat that Butler Wang wanted, the thirty pounds of dried tofu, ten pairs of braised large intestines and the remaining thirty pounds of pork head meat she prepared today were sold out before eight o'clock.
Still not enough preparation.
If she hadn't reserved two kilograms of each item in advance, there probably wouldn't be anything left.
She closed her stall, put the things into a basket, and sat on a small stool to rest.
When the yamen runner who collected the management fee arrived, he handed over five cents in management fee and a bag of braised food weighing about half a pound, and then prepared to close the stall and go buy something.
The yamen runners who collect management fees have become accustomed to it these days. They have never seen any stall selling things so quickly.
Basically, they are sold out as soon as they are put on the market, but their braised food is indeed delicious.
The boss is a very good person. Although he is young, he always smiles no matter who goes to collect the management fee. Not only does he make sure they pay the fee promptly, he also prepares a bag of braised food for them every time.
Several times they came to collect the fees, but the stall owner had already closed up shop, but they still waited for them to arrive before leaving.
This is how business is done, who doesn’t like dealing with people?
In the past, they hated doing this kind of work that required charging fees. They were all from the same village, and it took a long time to collect management fees. Now, everyone is rushing to come, and if you come too late, you can’t buy the braised food.
Xia Tian was about to pick up her load and leave when she looked up and saw Xia Yang standing a few steps away, looking at her.
"Brother?" Xia Tian was surprised and walked over. "Are you here at the market today too?"
I haven't run into anyone from the Xia family these few times, and I thought they had never been here!
However, her stall is not on the main street where the market is held, so it is normal that I didn’t see it.
"No, I went to the clinic to get some medicine." Xia Yang's eyes were red, as if he had been crying.
"What's wrong? Who is sick?" she asked curiously.
"It's Dad. Dad's waist is broken."
"What's going on?"
"It fell off the wall the day before yesterday while I was working in town."
"Is it serious?"
"Well, the doctor said that if I don't get treatment soon, I might end up paralyzed in bed." Xia Yang said as he wiped away his tears.
"Then just get treatment, why are you crying?" Xia Tian became very anxious when he saw Xia Yang's look.
It’s such a long time, what’s the use of crying!
"Which clinic is Dad in? I'll go check it out." As she spoke, she was about to pull Xia Yang away.
Xia Yang grabbed her and said, "Si Ya, listen to me, Dad is not in the clinic, he is at home!"
"At home? Ask the doctor to treat you at home?" He fell and broke his waist. Instead of getting treatment directly at the clinic, he moved home. Aren't you afraid of causing secondary injuries?
"No, it's because the clinic won't accept you if you don't have money." Xia Yang said hesitantly.
summer,"……"
Seeing that it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk while standing on the busy street, he took Xia Yang to find a small noodle shop, ordered two bowls of noodles, and sat down in a quiet corner to talk slowly.
"Dad got injured while working for someone else. Doesn't the boss care?"
Logically, the victim's family would at least pay some medical expenses. It's impossible that they would just dismiss the patient with nothing.
"The master gave us ten taels of silver, but grandma took it all away, leaving only two taels." Xia Yang said angrily.
"This damn old woman, isn't our father her biological son?" She was even more angry than Xia Yang.
I didn’t dare to bang the table this time because I was afraid that it would break apart, which would be embarrassing!
"So you guys just let it go like this?" She continued to ask without giving up.
"There's nothing we can do. We begged and made a fuss, but grandma said the doctor said it might not be cured anyway, and we didn't want to end up with the disease untreated and the money gone. We might as well just use the money we saved as their retirement money."
They also said that if we continued to make trouble, they would sue us for being unfilial. Xia Yang must have been holding it in for a long time, so he started to talk more. "Si Ya, we're separating!"
Before Xia Tian could recover from the outrageous actions of the old couple of the Xia family, he was stunned by Xia Yang's words "divide the family".
After a while, he came back to his senses and asked in disbelief, "Are we really splitting up?"
It had only been half a month since Xia Yang came to her house last time and she mentioned the matter of dividing the family, but they actually did divide the family.
