Chapter 92 Glass Bottled Halibut
Xia Qiyue came back so fast that the four people who were cooking tea eggs didn't expect it, and they didn't even have a basket in hand.

"Sister, are the crispy candies sold out so soon?" Xia Jiuyue was the first to greet her, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's sold out! How is your boiled tea eggs?" Xia Qiyue closed the courtyard door and walked in, holding two children in her arms and asking each other.

"It's broken, it's almost ready!" Xia Jiuyue followed behind, "Is the crispy candy sold so well? Where did you sell it?"

Xia Qiyue didn't answer, took a few steps, put the two children down at the kitchen door, then turned and went into the room to change into men's clothes and comb their hair.

After a while, the tea egg seller was a young man, so she had to become a young man.

When she came out, four people lined up at the door waiting.

Xia Qiyue had no choice but to tell them the process of selling the crispy candies, and then she was able to escape.

"You all peel and smash the peanuts, and I'll come back to make halva soon after milking the tea eggs!"

Xia Qiyue explained and reminded the wooden barrels to go out, and sold [-] of them today, and the crispy candies made money faster than tea eggs, and the rest of the time was spent making crispy candies.

The aunt who sold the apples didn't come out today, and she didn't get a good position, and the sales were a bit slow, but after a while, the housekeeper of the Tang family came over and rounded up the remaining 60 or so, saying it was the house. There is a banquet, and it is used.

Xia Qiyue felt relieved, went to buy caramel, and bought pork to go home.

There is still rice in the space, and I have planted rice myself, but I don’t know if it can be grown, so I didn’t buy it again, and there is cabbage in the space, which is the kohlrabi in the Northeast population.

You can eat fried meat, and then you can eat eggs, and you don’t need to buy too many vegetables.

After returning home, he put down the barrel, and gave the pork, cabbage, ten eggs and rice to his sister, and asked her to cook.

I hurriedly started making crispy candies, and tried to make more and sell them before leaving here, and I couldn't make money when I started fleeing famine.

In the past three days, she has earned 21 taels of silver. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is almost two years' income, but it is a drop in the bucket when it comes to her needs.

The space is really not based on reality at all, she is a little woman in the countryside, when will she be able to save enough for the 1000 taels, hey..."

There are a total of 25 catties of peanuts. The younger brother and sister have already peeled ten catties out. She made all these ten catties today. It should not be about [-] catties of crisp candy.

In this case, the sugar coating will not be enough, and there will be a catty or two extra, and she will sell it in a milk bottle, instead of spending money to buy cloth for sugar coating, which is time-consuming, laborious and money-intensive, and it is not as good as the milk bottle.

Because the mouth of the milk bottle is quite large, there is no problem that it cannot be put in or taken out. It just uses the original oil paper to tie it, and it will not be too abrupt.

After lunch, everyone started to do their own work, and they were busy almost until dark.

What Xia Jiuyue and Xia Xinghe were supposed to do to carry the basket failed.

25 catties of crisp candy were made, and the extra seven catties of crisp candy, Xia Qiyue, were all packed in milk bottles.

A bottle can only hold half a catty of halva, and she bought ten more bottles of milk later, and each of the five drank three bottles a day, washed out all fifteen bottles, wiped them clean, and carefully filled the halva.

Not to mention, it's really pretty, the brown halva is packed in a transparent glass bottle, it's really appetizing.

Xia Qiyue decided not to sell tea eggs from the next day onwards. She had to sell the 25 catties of crispy candy, which can be sold for 25 taels of silver.

When Xia Jiuyue and Xia Xinghe heard that a catty of crisp candy sold for two taels of silver, they couldn't believe what they heard.

It was only when Xia Qiyue showed them the money that they believed it.

It was dark, and when they returned to the refugee camp, they could not see their fingers. Xia Qiyue slowly took her younger siblings back to her shed with their son and daughter on their backs.

An Wangshi was still waiting for them worriedly, but her face was obviously more worried today.

"Auntie, why are you still standing here? How cold is it?" Xia Qiyue spotted An Wang's standing on their side at a glance.

When An Wangshi heard Xia Qiyue's voice, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "You guys are back!"

"What's the matter, auntie? Come in and talk!" Xia Qiyue led her inside. Although it wasn't very warm inside, she still thought it would be better to go in and talk.

After entering the shed, Xia Qiyue asked her sister to spread out the new quilts she took out from the space. It was time for the two children to go to bed.

The old quilts are spread underneath, and the new quilts are covered, which is really warm enough.

The two children didn't make a fuss, so they lay down as soon as they were asked to lie down. No matter whether they slept or not, it was better to lie obediently in the warm blanket.

Seeing that the two sisters were busy, Mrs. An couldn't wait to say, "Girl July, my aunt sold three baskets today and earned fifty copper coins. This is much easier than father and son chopping firewood and selling it. Earn an extra ten copper coins!"

Xia Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they can sell, "This is a good thing, Auntie! This is great!"

"Isn't it..." Mrs. An's originally smiling face drooped down again, "But this place in front of me can't stay for a few days, and I don't know what to do next."

Xia Qiyue thumped, "What's the matter, auntie?"

Only then did Wang An explain the reason why she was waiting here.

It turned out that the father and son weaved more than ten baskets in one day, and Wang An was also skillful and dressed them all up, but only sold three of them, and the remaining nine were kept in the shed.

Lizheng came back in the afternoon to tell everyone the bad news. He said that he went to the guard of Maoshan Town to see if he could resettle these refugees, because winter was coming soon, and they couldn't survive the winter.

But the guard of Maoshan Town said that he had no other choice, and their household registration was under the jurisdiction of Anyang Prefecture, which had nothing to do with their Oasis Prefecture.

He also said that the once-a-day porridge may not last for a few days, so let him find a way quickly.

Upon hearing this, the patriarch quickly gathered the men to discuss what to do next.

If they go back now, they can't guarantee that they can survive this winter, but what they can be sure of is that they won't freeze to death.

If we flee to the north and go to the capital now, we are not sure whether we can reach the capital before winter, and we will not starve to death but be frozen to death.

There are dead ends at both ends, and everyone has no choice, and they don't know how to choose.

"What... what can we do? July girl, can you help us folks?" Mrs. An is just a woman, and there is nothing she can do in this situation.

Xia Qiyue has no choice but if it's just a few family members, she will help out ruthlessly. After all, in the eyes of others, she is someone who has 1000 taels of silver.

But the problem is, Shanbei Zhuangzi has more than [-] people, how can she help?Even if the space is exposed, it won't help, let alone she must not expose the space.
