  Chapter 59 No way to start

  Silk cloth can't be dried that much on the boat, so Huo Xi asked Huo Erhuai to find an empty and uninhabited field, go ashore and pull the hemp rope, wash it, and dry it in the air.

  Do not dare to expose to the sun, for fear of fading. Take it back when the sun rises. The mother and daughter are too busy.

  Huo Erhuai put their mother and daughter on the shore, while he and Yang Fu rowed a boat to sell goods, and waited for the sunset to pick them up again.

After being so busy for several days, the fifty-eight bolts of silk cloth I bought have been washed once, rinsed with clean underground water, soaked in citric acid water, dried in the shade, ironed, and wrapped in raw paper. up.

   There are a few pieces of silk with mildew stains that are too stubborn to be washed. Yang said it was a pity, but Huo Xi felt that the result was excellent.

  She didn't expect that the citric acid liquid refined by the local method could really remove the mildew spots.

   On the one hand, citric acid is really effective, on the other hand, these silk cloths have not been exposed to rain for a long time. If the mildew stain has been attached to the cloth for a long time, it may not be easy to remove.

  The result made the family very satisfied.

  Huo Xi looked at the dozens of cloths in the cabin, and began to think about how to deal with them.

  Sell it back to Huo Zhong? No. He knows the inside, and it is estimated that the price will be lowered. And know that she has a way to get rid of it, but don't say it, maybe you will feel that she has ulterior motives.

  Go to the inner city to find a store to sell?

   It is estimated that the price will be suppressed. Knock on the door of each household? It's okay.

  But once there is a movement, pull the whole body. During this period of time, it is better to avoid it. If you can not enter the inner city, you will not enter it first. Entering the inner city is the worst policy.

  Then we can only go to the outer city.

   As for how to sell it, you can either sell it loosely or find a store to clear it all. It is certain that the price will be lowered when you find a store. It is better to knock on the door one by one like selling crabs, and sell them for more money.

   It's just a little troublesome. Fifty bolts of cloth are estimated to take a long time to sell. And when two fishermen came to sell silk, they had to explain the origin of the silk for a long time.

  Huo Xi is a little bald.

  Obviously knowing that these cloths are a pile of money, or a lot of money, but there is no way to start.

   There are still a few defective horses, how to deal with them?

  The family keeps it for making clothes? Qiqi wears silk clothes, casts nets to catch fish, mends nets to dry nets?

  Huo Xi shuddered Lingling. A little high profile. It will make people jealous. Their family still needs to survive among the fishermen, so it's not good to be too unconventional. To blend in. Integrate in order to map the follow-up.

  It would be great if both she and Mrs. Yang could embroider. If they kept the cloth at home and cut it out and sold it as embroidery, they could earn more money.

  Huo Xi thought for a while, entered the cabin, lifted the bottom plate of the ship, and opened the boxes of butter and various shrimp products.

   A look, there are dozens of cans. Although the family was busy drying and washing cloth these days, Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu were not idle, and made dozens of cans of the shrimp and crab they collected. Because she was not free, she kept them and did not sell them.

  Huo Xi took a bottle of dried shrimp and a bottle of grilled shrimp, and then covered the bottom plate again.

   "Father, shall we go to Qianjin Village?"

   "Huh? We still have linen. It's not sold out." Huo Erhuai was a little puzzled.

  Mr. Yang looked at the two cans of shrimps that Huo Xi was holding, and asked, "Does Xi'er want to give you the shrimps we made for Grandma Zhao and Aunt Zhao?"

Huo Xi nodded: "Yeah. But just by the way. This time we are mainly going to sell the few flawed silks. Whether they buy them to make clothes or make embroidery, it's up to them. We accept it." For their favor, sell the cloth to them at a lower price this time."

  Mr. Yang patted his thigh: "Okay! Xi'er is a good idea. Let's sell them cheaper and recover the cost. Next time, we will collect cloth and buy something else, which will be convenient."

  Huo Xi nodded: "Yeah. Now that our cloths are washed, it's free. Last time, Mother said that she wanted to collect some clean chicken and duck meat to make salted duck sauce, duck, and air-dried chicken. This time, we just went to the village to collect some."

Mrs. Yang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I have been busy with silk these days, so I forgot about it. Mother's craftsmanship is good. At that time, we will collect the clean meat, hang it on the boat to dry, and slow down in winter. If you sell it slowly, you can save more money!"

  In winter, the family wants to go ashore to rent a house. I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to fish in the river and the river. The catch will not be too much, and it will be just for sale.

  These days, my own grocery store on the water can make a net profit of one or two dollars a day, and it has stabilized. It is more appropriate than serious fishing. It was the time when Yang's heart was burning.

  Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu also thought it was good, so the family rowed the boat to Qianjin Village.

  Huo Xi hasn't come to Qianjin Village for a while. When I came here before, I saw the golden ears of rice in the field rippling with the wind, with the fragrance of rice. When I entered the village today, I saw that there were only bare rice stubbles left in the fields.

   "Mother, the rice is harvested."

Yang hugged Huo Nian who was looking left and right, and also looked at the rice fields: "Yes, this year is another bumper harvest year. Xi'er likes to eat rice. Let's go to the village to buy some new rice with your grandma Zhao and cook it for you. Come eat."

  Yang Fu was very happy: "Sister, buy more, Xinmixiang."

  Yang gave him a blank look: "When I couldn't eat in the early years, I didn't see you dislike the taste of old rice."

  Yang Fu glared at his sister back. The family has earned a lot of money these days, but his sister is still so picky.

   Pulled up Huo Xi, who was covering her mouth and giggling: "Let's go, let's go find Grandma Zhao."

  Huo Xi followed his footsteps while looking at the rice stubble on the side of the road.

  One day, she will also buy hundreds of hectares of fertile land, watch it sow seeds, watch it germinate, watch it head, watch it bloom, watch it make rice waves with the wind, and enjoy the joy of a good harvest again.

   "Grandma Zhao, Aunt Zhao, here we come!" Yang Fu, holding a basket on his back, held Huo Xi's hand and called out at the door of Zhao's house.

  A moment later, there were footsteps in the courtyard, and the door creaked open from the inside.

  A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old stood in the door and looked at them.

  Huo Xi and Yang Fu were stunned, and looked up at him.

   "Is that Brother Zhao Sui?" Huo Xi raised her head and asked.

  Zhao Sui hooked the corner of his mouth and looked at Huo Xi. He had already guessed the identities of the two children. Although I have never met this family, I often hear about them.

  Nodded: "Yes, you are that little Huo Xi dressed as a boy?" He looked at her with a smile.

  Huo Xi smiled and nodded: "Yes. It's the first time I've seen Brother Zhao Sui after so many visits. Hello, Brother Zhao Sui."

   bowed to him. Zhao Sui smiled back at her.

  Yang Fu looked at him blankly, is this the eldest son of Aunt Zhao? The eldest son who passed the examination of scholar and worked as an errand in Hebo? After recovering, he followed Huo Xi to salute.

   "Why are you standing at the door, come in, come in!" Grandma Zhao's voice came from the courtyard.

  Mr. Yang just happened to walk over with Huo Nian in her arms, and followed her into the courtyard.

  Yang looked at Zhao Sui, and praised his outstanding character repeatedly with Grandma Zhao and Aunt Zhao.

  Mr. Xiucai looks different from others. No wonder he was able to work as an errand in the Hebo Office and eat imperial food. I heard that the monthly salary is two buckets of stone, and usually there are other supplies from the fishermen's net armor, which is leisurely and decent.

   Can't help but look at Yang Fu, Fu'er has learned a lot of characters from Xi'er these days, I wonder if he can also pass the exam as a scholar, and will eat the emperor's food in the future.

   Shaking his head again, forget it, learning a big character will take a few days of stumbling, remember it today and forget it tomorrow. Let's cultivate Nian'er well.

  Looked at Nian'er dotingly, and after getting a toothless smile from Nian'er, she looked at Zhao Sui again.

   Last night, two hooves were sent out on our street, which moved me so much. He gestured with the kitchen knife for a long time, but he didn't cut through the flesh. How about calling it a kitchen knife? It seems that it can only cut vegetables. All I have is that knife. If it's a whole stew, my casserole can't be put in it. worry me
