"Wait a minute!"
He immediately ran into the house to find his daughter. The eldest brother in the family asked his daughter, and only after she nodded did he feel at ease to do it.
Zhao Xiaoyu also sighed that the village chief was smart and deserved to make money. "Sure. You see how much candy they want and when they leave. We can prepare the goods in advance. We can buy them on credit and pay them back when they come back. Anything that can't be sold can be returned."
Zhao Dashu was also enthusiastic, "My daughter, if our family couldn't leave me, I would fight for your future. I really want to go out and explore with Shunzi and the others."
"Don't think about it. My family just needs to study. What we need now is status."
"I know. Girl, do you think they would have any opinion if I added another family to the group?"
"Who is it? Grandpa?"
Zhao Dashu slapped his thigh in surprise, "You know me well. Your grandfather is a smart and steady person. I think it would be safer if he followed Liu Shunzi and the others. Because the village chief cannot leave, his eldest son will follow. Among those people, only the village chief has brains. Without the village chief, they are all reckless. I am not too sure. Uncle Qian is actually safe, but I am afraid he can't control people. I know my brother. He is brainless and jumpy."
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at her father carefully. Her father had really changed a lot. He became more considerate and thoughtful now.
"Hey, you go talk to them and tell them your worries and see what they say. If they don't want to, forget it. If they are willing, we can ask grandpa again."
"Hey, Dad, I'll listen to you!"
Dad passed away, and Zhao Xiaoyu began to worry. How could their small workshop produce so much candy? I'm afraid we'll have to add more people. All the empty rooms in Xiao Lei's house will have to be turned into kitchens, and one room will have to be left as a storage room. With so many things, it would be impossible for them not to leave a few people to look after them. Oops, the stall seemed a little too big, which was different from what she expected.
Liu Shunzi naturally listened to what Zhao Dashu said. After discussing with several people, he planned to visit Yue's family every day. Oh, why is it so difficult to study in Yue?
"Dad, you must take good care of yourself on the road and dress warmly, okay? The stove in the carriage is lit every day. You are not young anymore, so don't try to show off." Song stood in front of the carriage, repeatedly reminding her father who was going on a long journey for the first time. It's really not easy for dad that he still works so hard for his family at this age.
Old man Song didn't like to hear this. Why shouldn't he show off at his age? How old is he? Isn't this the best age to earn money?
"I'm in good health, don't worry about it, just take care of yourself."
Song: ...
The carriage was getting farther and farther away. Song was getting worried. "Boss, do you think there were no robberies on the road? Are Dad and the others safe?"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh! Wife, it's not easy for dad to go out and make a living, can you say something for me to listen to?"
"That's right, mother. Look, grandpa is more energetic than you. People have to work. Only when they have hope can they have motivation. If they lie at home every day, they will get sick."
Well, everyone at home said so, what else can she say? The person has left, and there is nothing to say.
"Come on, let's go home."
This winter, every household in Laoqizhu Village is busy. Every day, they carry a basket and walk through the streets, shouting everywhere. Although it is hard work, the income is also considerable, much better than them staying at home all winter. Occasionally, if they earn more, they can buy half a pound of meat to take home for a snack. Everyone has hope for the future.
"Boss, we should go back to the village."
Zhao Da, who was massaging his arm from copying books, frowned when he heard this. "Didn't you say you wouldn't go back this year? And you didn't go back to your parents' home either. You were afraid people would ask why you were missing someone."
"Let me tell you, I've been seeing people from our village carrying baskets and selling malt candy recently. It's not just one or two people, but people from our village can be found on every street in the county town. They don't just sell it for one or two days, they start as soon as the weather gets cold. It's very strange, we have to go back and see what's going on." Wang had a hunch that there was something fishy going on, why were they all selling candy? Where does the sugar come from? Is there money to be made from selling candy?
"And recently, some people have changed their clothes and put on cotton-padded jackets. They must have made some money."
Zhao Da, who hadn't been out for the whole winter, really didn't know what was going on. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Will I lie to you again?"
Zhao Da said hesitantly, "We can't go home empty-handed on the winter solstice. We can't walk back home. If we don't walk on a snowy day, our shoes will get wet and uncomfortable. Buying things and riding a bullock cart will also cost a lot of money. Why don't we go to the county town to buy a pound of meat and celebrate the festival ourselves in the county town."
Wang interrupted him, "It's right to think so before, but now it's clear that everyone has money. We went back to spend the winter solstice mainly to find out what happened in the village? If they can make money, it makes sense that we can't make money, right?"
"Come on, let's go home." He could rest for a day at home. The bitch stared at him copying books every day. He almost finished a book in one winter and was so tired that he wanted to vomit when he saw the pen. All the money for copying the books went to the woman, and he didn't get a single penny.
As for the villagers making money, he didn't care at all. They were just selling food on the street, how much money could they make? To be honest, even if he heard that they could earn a few pennies, he wouldn't do it.
How could a scholar set up a stall to sell things? Even if she was his own wife, he would not allow her to do so. The family was not that poor. He, Zhao Da, was a well-known figure in the county and could not afford to lose face.
Also, there are only farmers, merchants and industrialists, and merchants have a low status. Even though the third brother makes a lot of money, he just covets his money and looks down on his livelihood.
"Boss, what shall we take home?"
"My parents know how much burden our family has. Just bring a cabbage from the cellar back home."
Wang, who was originally thinking about buying two kilograms of meat or a bag of pastries, was stunned. A cabbage, is he serious?
"That's it?"
"How about adding two radishes? You can handle these small things yourself." Zhao Daxie, who had rested enough, continued to copy books. Thinking about how hard it was to earn money, he said, "Forget it, I'd better not take the radishes. There are plenty at home. I'll just take a cabbage. I can make cabbage and meat dumplings during the winter solstice. It's just right to take it with me."
