suspected wife

The next day, the siblings got up earlier than yesterday because they wanted to sell eggs.

Ming Heng really did what he said, holding the egg basket along the way, like holding a rare treasure.

Qiao Mingjin sat behind him, knowing that he was trying to prove to her that he could protect these eggs no matter how far the road was, and that this job of collecting eggs was also possible.

Enduring the soreness in her heart, Qiao Mingjin silently hugged him tightly from behind, giving him some strength.

The child endured the drowsiness, and kept his eyes wide open and talked to her nonchalantly all the way, just because he was afraid that due to his own negligence, he would doze off and break the egg on the floor.

Arriving in the city, Qiao Mingjin was afraid that she would not be able to make it to the early market, so she told Ming Heng to hold the eggs and sell them in the market alone, while she went to the Zhou Mansion to deliver firewood alone.

After receiving 65 papers and firewood from the Zhou family, and sending horses and horses, he hurried to find Ming Heng.

When Ming Heng was found, he was already waiting there with an empty basket in his arms.

"Sister, I sold them all! Two coins for each! There are still many people who came later who didn't buy them! I told them to ask them to come back tomorrow!"

After speaking, he looked at Qiao Mingjin cautiously, for fear that Qiao Mingjin would say that he made his own decisions.

I only heard him say again: "Sister, I don't have to worry about selling these eggs at all. One person had two baskets of eggs, more than 100, and a pastry shop bought them all. The big mansion also bought dozens of eggs. Buy one. But chickens sometimes take two days to lay an egg."

After speaking, he raised his head to see Qiao Mingjin's face.

Qiao Mingjin rubbed his head with a smile, praised a few words, and said, "Okay, after we go back today, let's go to the village and talk to see if anyone wants to ask us to sell eggs. Miss, I didn't expect you to be so late!" Just sold all the eggs. Well done."

Qiao Mingjin was also afraid that her younger brother would be jerky when he was in business for the first time, so she hurried over, but she didn't expect her younger brother to be a good hand, and his mind was also sluggish.

Qiao Mingjin took the empty frame, Mingheng happily followed behind his sister, and the two began to stroll around the fair.

There are a lot of things sold in this early market, all of which are self-produced by the farmers. There are all kinds of vegetables, eggs and duck eggs, miscellaneous grains, wild game hunted, wild fruits, mushrooms and the like.

There are also a lot of small merchants and hawkers on this street, either carrying burdens to the streets, or setting up stalls, selling all kinds of food and food, and the whole street is full of shouts, one after another.

Qiao Mingjin didn't feel noisy at all, but felt a strong breath of life.No matter what the day is, no matter what the status is, at least they are living hard.That's great.

There are many pedestrians on the street, staggering back and forth in a hurry, those in brocade clothes, cotton cloth and earthen clothes, and even those with patches all over their bodies.

There are many shops on both sides, the young men are shouting hard at the door, and the store flags are flying on the facade...

Qiao Mingjin walked past with Mingheng smiling.

Yue Zhongyao came out of a shop, followed by three yamen servants.

Now that the ruling and opposition parties are at peace, and Qingchuan County is in peace, he has nothing to do to suppress bandits. He just patrols the streets every day, catches those who take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and just protects the interests of the shops and the peace of the county. He has nothing to do.

A little lady walked by him, Yue Zhongyao turned his head in surprise, and tried his best to look ahead, but only saw the flow of people intertwined, and the beautiful shadow was no longer seen.

Dazzled?

Yue Zhongyao searched the tide-like streets and alleys again, and it took him a long time to force out a wry smile.

She shouldn't come here, right?

The shopkeeper chased him out and stuffed a purse into Yue Zhongyao's hand: "Yue Chuan, this is a trivial matter, take it to drink with some brothers."

Yue Zhongyao rejected it twice, but he didn't. Remembering the shadow just now, he still has a wife and daughter to support, so he put his sleeves in his arms after thinking about it, thanked him and led them away.

While walking, he turned his head to look at the road again, and then said to the three brothers who followed him: "Go, I will treat you to dinner later!"

"That's great! I said I'm going to follow Yue Chu, and Yue Chu is more refreshing!"

"That's right, I'll be arrested with Dingyue from now on! If Yue catches up in the future, if he gets promoted to head catcher, he will have to take care of our brothers!"

"Go, go, what is head arresting! Yue Chu is going to be a county lieutenant!"

"What does the county lieutenant count as..."

Yue Zhongyao slapped it with his palm: "So many words today!"

There is no end to it.

A few people didn't think it was embarrassing, and smiled embarrassingly.

Yue Chu is kind and has some skills, following him is better than following others.A few people smiled and flattered a few more words, and followed behind to patrol the street...

Qiao Mingjin didn't know that she passed by an acquaintance, and she only looked at the shops on both sides to see if there was anything she could use.

After all, it is not a long time to collect firewood. Besides, after a while, sister Xiu's family will need cattle. Once there is no cattle, her firewood will not be sold.

Let her carry firewood for most of the day to the city to sell it, and it would be happier to kill her with a knife.

Carrying a load of water caused her shoulders to ache for days, and holding up a bamboo pole to cut dead branches from trees, she could not lift her hand for half a day, and was so sore at night that she couldn't sleep.If it was like this every day, she would go directly to the next reincarnation.

After shopping around for a few streets, I really can't see anything she can do at the moment.

Prices do understand a lot.

Eggs are more in demand.In this era, there is no concept of large-scale chicken farms. Most of the eggs are laid by the chickens in the farmer's own home, and they are reluctant to eat and save them for sale.

Of course, the Zhuangzi of the big family also raises chickens, and there are quite a few chickens, but that is not enough for the big family to consume, so the supply of eggs is in short supply.

People who can't afford meat think that eating an egg can be regarded as adding nutrition.Even people in confinement in this era can't afford chicken every day and often use sugar water eggs instead.

It's just that she can't do this business for long. Once there is no cattle, she can't do anything.Besides, there are too many eggs, how can she protect them from being damaged?The road is bumpy and the journey is long.

She couldn't do the egg tray in her previous life.Not that material.

Qiao Mingjin took Mingheng to browse all the streets, and then took Mingheng to go home.After thinking about it, he bought another half catty of sugar for Ming Qi and Wan'er.

Only then did I take the ox cart and go home...

In the afternoon, the family of four was still collecting firewood on the mountain.

Qiao Mingjin had always wanted to go to the mountains, maybe he could find something else that could be used, but he couldn't spare his hands.

After picking up a cart of firewood, Qiao Mingjin cut down a dozen more bamboos before dragging her home.

The twins didn't know, so: "Sister, what are you cutting bamboo for?"

"My sister is going to make some bamboo rakes and sell them."

Ming Qi frowned and said, "Can it be sold? It doesn't seem too difficult to do."

After speaking, she raised the bamboo rake in her hand and looked back and forth.

Mingheng refuted her: "Then can you do it? Look, you can't either. We still bought the bamboo rake at home, and my mother spent five Wen on the market to buy it last time! How did my sister make it?" Will it not be sold? Who doesn’t have one or two rakes? Even if they don’t rake the fur, bamboo rakes are needed to dry millet, peanuts and grain. There are three or four rakes in a large family.”

Qiao Mingjin looked back at her younger brother. Her younger brother was really brainy, and maybe he was really good at doing business.

The family was poor, and Mingjue couldn't afford to pay for him after passing the examination of scholar. Mingheng never went to school, and it was Qiao's father and Mingjue who taught him at home.

"Mingheng, do you want to go to school? Wait until my sister earns money and send you to school, okay?"

Mingheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and looked at Qiao Mingjin, and after a while his eyes dimmed again: "Sister, if you want money, let your second brother study. Dad said he is a good candidate, and he will definitely be admitted to the university. It’s just that our family has no money to send him to college. I often see my father and grandmother sighing at the back of my second brother.”

Qiao Mingjin felt sour, touched his head and said, "Okay, when sister has money, sister will send your second brother to study in an academy in the city, and then send you to school!"

"Really? Then I'll help my sister earn more money! Sister, shall we collect eggs and sell them?"
