The onlookers clicked their tongues a few times, looked and looked, and finally someone bought five wood dans, saying that he would go home and sew them into a sachet.
Five flowers cost one hundred coins, but this wood elixir has a strong fragrance and should last a long time.
Then people came to buy the wood peony flowers one after another, and soon half of the basket of wood peony flowers was sold out.
As the number of customers increased, some peonies and ** were also sold.
Some people also bought cantaloupes and apples, and some bought ten at a time, which cost one string of silver.
For a while, Yingbao was extremely busy.
In order to prevent someone from taking things without paying, Jiang Sanlang stood on a stool and stared at everyone without blinking.
He actually saw someone secretly putting two big apples into his wide sleeves and trying to slip away.
"Hey! Pay the money before you leave!" Jiang Sanlang jumped off the stool and grabbed the man, saying coldly: "Or put the things down!"
Seeing that Jiang Sanlang was tall and strong, the man knew he could not beat him, so he had to take the apple out of his sleeve and throw it into the basket.
Yingbao saw that more and more people were coming to her stall and felt a little overwhelmed. She quickly said to her father, "Dad, let's move the things to the counter."
With the counter blocking the way, it should be much safer.
Jiang Sanlang also felt that setting up a stall outside was not very reliable, so he moved all the things back to the counter of the shop and only placed a few samples on the counter.
As a result, there are fewer people watching, but there are still as many people who really want to buy things.
Sure enough, setting up a stall is not suitable for me, Yingbao sighed.
In just one morning, a large basket of apples and a large basket of melons were all sold out, and only a few flowers were left.
Yingbao turned her head to look at the cash box, which was already full.
I just don’t know what the situation is like with my second cousin, she has to go and check it out.
But before leaving, she had to take some apples and flowers out of the cave and bring them back home when she returned home in the afternoon.
"Dad, I'm going to go see my second cousin." Yingbao said to Jiang Sanlang.
Jiang Sanlang nodded: "Take Dahei with you when you go out." The second nephew was setting up a stall on another street, and you can see him by turning the corner from here.
"Okay." Yingbao happily ran into the backyard from the back door of the shop, and put out a basket of grapes, two baskets of apples, a basket of melons, and a large basket of flowers in the house.
There is nothing missing at home now, the only thing missing is these things.
Then he took Xiao Hei with him and went excitedly to find his second cousin.
Yingbao rushed to the market and saw a scoundrel blackmailing Jiang Quan.
"Damn it! How dare you lie to me! Either compensate me five taels of silver, or give me that silver bracelet!"
It turned out that the rogue played archery and poker with ten coins, but he hit a small porcelain doll, which made him very angry. So he grabbed Jiang Quan and wanted to win the first prize of the silver bracelet for free.
Jiang Quan was of course not happy. He had spent four taels of silver to buy the carved and inlaid silver bracelet to attract customers, so he couldn't just give it to anyone. But this scoundrel looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Yingbao remembered that this man was another brother of Zhang Jia's concubine.
It is not known whether they are real brothers, but this person once participated in beating his aunt Jiang Yunniang, and also went in and out of brothels with Zhang Jia.
Soon, Jiang Quan started arguing with this man, and was unexpectedly punched in the eye by him.
Jiang Quan was furious and immediately started fighting with the man.
Although the scoundrel was not tall, he was very fierce in a fight. Jiang Quan was no match for him and was soon pinned to the ground and beaten.
Seeing this, Yingbao loosened the dog leash and patted Xiaohei.
Xiao Hei rushed out and bit the man on the butt.
"Ah..." The scoundrel screamed in pain, turned his head and saw a big dog rushing towards him. He was so scared that he rolled and crawled away.
Jiang Quan wiped his face and felt a stinging pain in his right eye.
Yingbao pulled his eyelids and saw that he only had a superficial wound and was not seriously injured, so she handed him a pill and said, "It's getting late, pack up your stall and go home."
They still have to travel a hundred miles to go back for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Jiang Quan was very depressed.
Because his gambling business was not very good, although some people came to play, he did not make much money.
He originally wanted to prove that he could make a lot of money on his own, but he didn't expect that the facts were not what he had imagined.
After packing up his things, he put them on the carriage, hitched the horses and returned to the shop.
At this time, Aunt Jiang Yunniang also packed up her things and stood at the door of the shop with her children to talk to Jiang Sanlang.
"Sanlang, can you take us with you in your carriage?" She was extremely disappointed with her husband and did not plan to spend the New Year with him and his concubine. She only wanted to take her children and her third brother back to her parents' home.
Jiang Sanlang nodded: "It should be possible. Have you packed? We will set off later."
The horses in the shop were tall and strong. They ate the feed prepared by the girl and were very strong. They often pulled full loads of goods back and forth between the county town and the countryside, and nothing happened.
Now it’s just a matter of recruiting a few more people, there shouldn’t be any problem.
"Dad! We are back." Yingbao jumped off the carriage, and Xiaohei followed suit.
Seeing that his daughter and nephew had returned from closing their stall, Jiang Sanlang quickly closed the door.
After cleaning up, he suddenly saw that his nephew had a dark eye. He couldn't help but frowned: "Did he have a fight?"
"Yeah." Jiang Quan didn't want to say more, hesitantly ran to help his little cousin move apples.
Zhang Yuying also went to help, and together with Jiang Quan, they moved all the things they were going to bring back onto the carriage.
Hong Xiao looked at the baskets of fruits in amazement and couldn't help drooling.
Yingbao handed her a big apple and gave one to the man named Zhang Xiaolang.
Jiang Yunniang took the apple, pulled out the copper hairpin on her head, cut a deep cut in the apple, broke it into two halves, gave half to her daughter Hong Xiao and the other half to Zhang Xiaolang.
Several people and a dog squeezed into the carriage. Jiang Sanlang checked the doors and windows again, then locked the house, pasted a door charm on the door, locked the main door, and then sat on the shaft of the carriage and drove away.
Jiang Quan was silent at first, but when the carriage drove out of the county, he immediately became energetic and began to talk incessantly to his little cousin and aunt about the Guanpu business.
"Although this business cannot make a lot of money in a short period of time, it is very profitable. Hehe! If you keep doing it, you will definitely make a lot of money." Guanpu is equivalent to gambling, and the one who makes the profit is always the dealer, so Jiang Quan said this.
Jiang Yunniang said, "Don't do it. There was a family in our alley who secretly did Guanpu business. As a result, they were reported. The government came and arrested all the men in his family. They have not been released yet."
The imperial court issued a clear ban on gambling. Once discovered, the offender would either be fined or imprisoned, with no leniency.
Even so, there are still people who secretly open casinos in the dark and make huge profits.
Yingbao rolled her eyes at her second cousin and said, "Can't you make money by doing business with your eldest cousin?"
Jiang Quan scratched his head and dared not say anything more.
He and his elder brother did indeed make a lot of money in business. This year alone, he alone earned over a thousand taels.
My younger cousin earned the most. When they counted the accounts a few days ago, she alone received more than 4,000 taels of silver. Excluding the several hundred taels of silver spent on building the house and purchasing furniture and furnishings, my younger cousin took away a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver in cash.
The second is the eldest brother.
Jiang Cheng still planted a lot of golden ears this year, so he earned much more than his second brother, enough to get more than two thousand taels of silver.
Jiang Quan was not jealous of his elder brother and younger cousin, but he had suddenly become a wealthy man and felt a little carried away, thinking that everything he did would be easy.
So I wanted to try my abilities to see if I could earn a lot.
As a result, not only did he not make any money, he also got into a fight with someone.
The key is, we haven’t won yet.
