The first rays of light in the morning shone through the window onto the bed.
Ke Xin rubbed her eyes and slowly opened her eyelids, only to find that it was already bright. She got up in a hurry because there were still many things she had not done.
After leaving the house, the eldest sister-in-law who had been squatting at the door was the first to come up. She smiled and stretched out her hand: "I haven't been paid for yesterday's wages yet."
For three consecutive days, the first thing I saw when I woke up was not the sun, but her face. She was also amazing. She faced me with a different face every day. I really had to admire my sister-in-law's ability to change her face.
"I'll give it to you at lunchtime, don't worry."
Her pockets were cleaner than Ning Dani's face. The money she earned from selling ginseng and vegetables was all with her mother. She couldn't go to her mother for the money for such a small matter.
After hearing this, Ning Dani's smile disappeared and she glared at her on the back, but she didn't dare to offend her for fear that the fifteen cents she had earned would be lost. So she saw her flitting around Xiaojiu like a butterfly, washing vegetables, making fire, and she was busy and having a lot of fun.
They cooked four vegetarian dishes and six meat dishes, all generous portions. They also steamed fifty steamed buns, placed the dishes in basins, and placed them on a cart. A clean white cloth was placed on the basins. Dad pushed the cart, and my two brothers carried a dozen or so small stools on a shoulder pole. The whole family headed to town.
When I passed by the archway at the entrance of the village, I saw a few old men who were sewing shoe soles early in the morning chatting and laughing. I looked at them with my eyes wide open.
"Shuzhen, what are you and your family doing?"
The speaker was a widow in the village named Zhang Ju. She had been a widow for many years. She had lost one son and her daughter-in-law had run away with someone else. She was left with only a fifteen-year-old grandson, whom she loved very much.
Seeing Zhang Ju's smile, Ge Shuzhen also replied cheerfully, "Aunt Zhang, the children made some food and plan to sell it in town."
Zhang Ju: "Oh, this is great news. Go quickly while it's still early and you can find a good spot."
Ge Shuzhen waved to Zhang Ju, and while she was talking, the family left the village, and the people behind them began to talk.
Wang Xiu curled her lips and said, "What kind of food are they selling? They haven't cooked a single dish in three years. They wouldn't even eat the pork they cook. What can they sell?"
Zhang Ju was not happy to hear this: "You're just like your family cooking every day. Even if you don't have a mirror, you still have to pee. Look at yourself and see how good you are."
When Wang Xiu heard Widow Zhang scolding her, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "You are a jinx! Only someone like you could bring death to your husband and son. If I were you, I would have killed myself by hitting my head against the wall. How dare you live like that? Pah."
This remark really hit Zhang Ju in the heart. She couldn't even utter a curse word, and she just slapped him twice, his face was swollen...
The Jiang family who had walked away had no idea what was happening in the village.
At the South Wharf, Grandpa had arrived early in the morning to take a seat and was now chatting with a man in a maroon constable's uniform. The two of them were talking and laughing, and when they saw them coming, they waved at them.
"Nephew Wang, this is my third son's family. We'd like to sell some food at the dock to make some money. I hope you can take care of them."
The man called Wang Xianzhi was about forty years old, with a beard that only revealed a pair of sharp eyes. He was about 1.8 meters tall and strong, with his right hand resting on the sword at his waist.
He glanced at Jiang Yongtian's family and saw that they were a group of honest people. Then he nodded to Jiang Wuli: "Uncle, don't worry. With me here, no one will have the courage to cause trouble here."
It is true that it is easier to get things done if you have connections in the government office. This principle is eternal and unchanging everywhere.
Ke Xin asked her mother for twenty copper coins, handed them to her eldest brother, and said to him, "Give these copper coins to Uncle Wang. Let him go have a cup of hot tea."
Jiang Xin felt a pang of pain when he saw the warm copper coins lying on his palms. However, he also knew that if he wanted to run a small business here peacefully, he would have to pay this money. After thinking it through, he put down his shoulder pole and walked forward, saying with a smile: "We will inevitably trouble Uncle Wang in the future. This is not much copper coins. Please give Uncle Wang a cup of tea. Please don't be disgusted."
Wang Hu glanced at the copper coin in Jiang Xin's hand, thought for a moment, and then refused directly: "I'm back at the government office to drink tea. You guys should work hard on your first day of opening. If you have any questions, you can come directly to the government office to find me. My name is Wang Hu."
After saying that, he waved to Jiang Wuli and left. Jiang Xin stood there awkwardly, having not yet given out his first gift.
Jiang Wuli patted Jiang Xin's shoulder and said, "Your Uncle Wang may look fierce, but he's actually a kind-hearted person. You can get to know him better when you have time. Hurry up and set up the stall, it's getting late."
"good."
The whole family worked together to set up the stall, and then a few people came out to the dock looking for food.
"Hey everyone, come and take a look. This is Jinping Town's first seriously delicious meal. If it's not, I won't charge you."
When sister-in-law Ning Dani saw several people walking towards other people's houses, she became anxious and immediately started shouting at the top of her lungs without any hesitation. This shout shocked everyone.
Ke Xin secretly gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up. Although this person was sneaky and cunning, she was really reliable at the critical moment.
After hearing what my sister-in-law called out, a few people actually came over. They looked at the dishes in the bowls and thought they were quite fresh.
"Auntie, how do you sell these vegetables?"
Ge Shuzhen: "Eight cents for one meat dish and three vegetables, twelve cents for three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus two steamed buns. There's also free egg soup, which is all you can eat."
"It looks good. Give me one of those eight-cent pieces to try."
"Okay, today is your first day, so I'll give you a piece of meat for free. Try it." Ge Shuzhen served him some dishes and gave him two slices of pig tongue. These were chewy and suitable for young men.
