The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sisters of the Yan family and the Qi family came to the designated place early to set up the stall.

There is still some distance from the street market in the south of the city, and the more you walk in, the more lively it is.

It was also the first time for them to sell New Year's goods, and they had no experience. The good position there had been booked long ago, and it was here that Yan Lao Er came forward and made a close match with the yamen guard who supervised the place.

The advantage is that the booth fee can be a few pennies cheaper.

Yan Yu was very satisfied. There were quite a few sellers of Spring Festival couplets with blessing characters around them. The few scholars who stretched their heads to look at them were more than familiar. They even wrote a few words on the Baifu character she hung up as a signboard Woolen cloth!

There is competition, but getting together has its benefits.

Yan Lao Er helped a few girls to put up the shelf.

The colorful garlands are tightly wrapped, hanging in the middle and hanging down on both sides. Once the Baifu characters on the red paper are hung, their Spring Festival couplet stand is the most beautiful boy on the street!

That's right, Yan's second son is here too!

The frame is turned around, and the maltose pulled can be sold directly.

He didn't want to come.

I have been boiling sugar for several days in a row, and I am exhausted.

If you want him to say, he will set up a stall in front of his own shop to sell it. In the past few days, he has learned that Dr. An is in Yan's shop for consultation.

It's not that Dr. An Xiao is famous, but that he doesn't charge money for seeing a doctor during this time.

In the words of Dr. An Xiao, he has already received the consultation fee from the Yan family, and during this period of time, he should feel at ease helping Li Xuemei raise her baby, instead of borrowing the Yan family's place for profit.

He collects a portion of the money for the medicine himself, but he can't ask for the money for the doctor's visit.

Yan Lao Er followed him.

The people who caught the medicine learned that there was maltose for sale in Yan's shop, and they basically didn't have empty hands, and more or less had to weigh some.

Want to suppress the bitterness of the medicine with sweetness is one of them, and then it is the Chinese New Year, who doesn't buy some snacks for the children.

Once by chance, Yan Yu was looking at the shop in front of the shop while mixing Tangsi, and was seen by a child who was seeing a doctor, and she kept staring at him eagerly. It was poor, so he gave him the syrup in his hand.

Since then, the market for syrup has been opened!

Yan Lao Er was forced to launch new products, not only selling finished maltose, but also mixing syrup for children who kept coming to the door...

It looks like a small stall owner in front of the school!

Yan Yu enjoys watching it once.

Maltose sells well at the door of the house. Yan Laoer didn't want to make a fuss, but he didn't make it clear when he entrusted someone before. They didn't know what his house was going to sell, and reserved a large space. Yan Yu and the others had few things. If you are dissatisfied, the vacant space will be wasted if you don’t use it.

Yan Yu kept urging her father to sell candy.

It happened that Cui Langzhong and Cui Niangzi went to the city with the big dog and the little dog.

When Cui Langzhong saw that Yan's shop had become a temporary hospital, Mrs. An Xiao was kind again. After a complicated mental journey, he dared to ask about the medical problems in his heart, and Dr. An Xiao gave him some advice... …

Say nothing and leave!

Cui Langzhong stayed at Yan's house that night, and started working the next day as Dr. An's personal drug boy.

Mrs. Cui simply stayed.

The big dog and the little dog let her go around and did all the work that Yan's family had. maltose.

After only half a day, Mrs. Cui got her hands on it, especially the syrup, which was stirred quickly, well and big. The child who came to buy the syrup quickly moved on and fell in love with this aunt with a loud voice...

Yan's second son... had no place to stay, so he had to set up a stall with his daughter.

Yan's maltose is very good.

is very very good!

Thanks to Yan Yu's tireless stretching and unrelenting stretching.

Milky white maltose exudes a soft and even beauty.

Every line is smooth like art.

The customers who were attracted by Baifu characters and latte art decisively placed an order - malt candy.

Yan Laoer opened here one after another.

But Yan Yu still has a lot of people looking at it, but no one buys it.

Yan Qianchu couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

He quietly pulled his sister's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Er, why don't they just buy it?"

"It's too early, people haven't come up yet, so wait." Yan Yu said.

Those who come to the market early are all ordinary people, and they have to figure out how much money they can save by putting a red sticker on the door during the New Year.

We all know that Spring Festival couplets with blessing characters are expensive to buy first, and then bought on the 30th day, maybe you can get a fractured price.

However, people in the countryside who go to the city to buy New Year's goods will not wait deliberately, and they will rush to buy all the New Year's goods they need in one day.

Therefore, Yan Yu stepped forward to sell when he saw the target customer.

Say a few pleasant New Year's greetings, blessing characters, Spring Festival couplets, window grilles... After counting a few things and adding a small amount, the deal is done!

Seeing Xiaoer's opening, Yan Qianchu and the two sisters from the Qi family breathed a sigh of relief.

The nearby houses are selling these things one by one, and they are really worried that they will not be able to sell them.

"Look, this is the opening!" Yan Yu smiled and showed them the copper coins.

Like Yan Yu, Yan's second brother is also calm in his heart, so he will go where he is, and when the flow of people comes up, it is time for him to exert his strength.

...

The sun rises gradually.

The number of people on the street increased unknowingly.

The place where the crowds are crowded is where the Yan family's booth is located.

Yan Laoer's voice was loud: "Here, two catties, the scale is high! I wish you a new year as sweet as honey, good luck and success!"

"I'll take a catty!"

"Weigh two catties for me too!"

...

Yan Yu's voice was crisp and clear: "Ma'am, is your son taking the county test next year? Then I have to choose a good one for you, just this one: the one who is educated, talented, hardworking, and professionally proficient. Banner: Academic success !"

The aunt said happily repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! That's it!"

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you. The door stickers are upside down. Blessings will come. Auntie, let's add the word "Fu" again... Size? Look at the door of your house, Xiaofu's house, Dafuwang's house, all suitable! And a pair of magpies The window grilles on the branches, this pattern is rare, I only have a few pairs... You will live together, the coming year will be prosperous, people will be prosperous, wealth will be prosperous, and everything will be prosperous!"

"Boy, help me choose, which one is better for my house?"

"The one just now bloomed, and the pine tree one, give me a picture too!"

Yan Qianchu blushed and asked loudly: "Is it 'spring is full of heaven and earth, come to auspicious cranes, and flowers bloom beautifully to illuminate green pines'?"

"Yep!"

"You... come to Zhang Fu again?" Yan Qianchu summoned up his courage and asked again.

"Come here, I want a big one, with the word Dafu!"

Yan Qianchu was very encouraged by the success of the business.

She can occasionally sell some, but the main force is still Yan Yu.

The Qi family sisters were too busy to stop.

The couplets that had just been hung up were taken down and wrapped up for others in a short while.

People kept asking them whether the Baifu character they used as a sign could be sold, and they also asked about the garland...

The two sisters have never talked so much, explaining to others, asking and answering.

At the beginning, they were too reserved, and their voices were also low, but later they really couldn't tolerate their whispering, and they had to shout, so that each other could hear what the other said clearly.

Yan Laoer and Yan Yu's auspicious words are set in one set.

In fact, there are only a few sentences repeated over and over again. I am busy and chaotic right now. Who can pay attention to whether what I say is repeated, as long as the person who is talking to me has never heard it.

Scholars at a nearby stall looked at the stall selling hot spring festival couplets in amazement.

They all sell the same thing.

Why can people sell this momentum?

Spring Festival couplets can still be sold like this?

It can only be said that Yan Laoer is more educated than other peddlers selling maltose.

As for Yan Yu, he is sweeter and thicker than other scholars.

Yan Laoer first sold out the maltose he brought.

Yan Yu's Spring Festival couplets are also sold out, and the blessing characters are still there, but the poor window grilles have long since disappeared.

Yan Yu hurriedly closed the stall, and kept saying to people: "Baifu characters really can't be sold, these hundred blessing characters are different, they are our family's signboard, we will come tomorrow!"

"The flowers... I see that you are really sincere, and you won the sale, but the price can't be lower... Actually, if you can wait, come back tomorrow, and I will leave you a new set. This set has been hung up. I’m afraid it will be broken if you dismantle it... Zhongzhong, I will definitely keep a set for you. Your family lives in Laohuai Lane in the south of the city, the second one in Dongtou, right? If it’s not convenient to come, I can send you home... Haha, you The charcoal we are using now is sent by our family. It is a big customer of our Yan’s shop. No one can forget you if you forget it! Thank you for always taking care of our business. You don’t need to buy this blessing, we will go door to door tomorrow Send blessings to regular customers..."

...

Yan Yu gulped down the water.

Second Yan looked back at her.

"Okay, my daughter is good at this business, sending blessings to the old customers' homes, now thinking about it?"

"If I can hide it from anyone, I can't hide it from my father!" Yan Yu laughed and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to know where his home is and send him home. The asking price is not low, he didn't even negotiate the price, he just wanted to give him a lucky word... The words have come to the end, since I am a regular customer and have been taking care of our business, how can I not say anything, I have said it, and I will send it to you One is also a gift, and it’s not that I can’t afford to give it all, so give it away!”

Yan Yu said again: "I originally planned to give some small gifts from house to house during the Chinese New Year. Our charcoal is sold loosely and retailed, and it has never been cheap. We deliver it to your door, and we send thoughtful small gifts. I can't keep the price down, but You can send blessings, I have a flash of inspiration, hahaha!"

"Blind those people's eyes quickly!" Yan Lao Er said with a smile: "We can count it out, I just looked at those scholars and almost clapped our hands to send us off."

Her eyes were narrowed into a smile, revealing two rows of small white teeth: "So I'm leaving now, let them sell it too."

"Father, what do you think of me laying out the paper tomorrow and writing it now? There is not much left at home. Judging by this posture, it is not enough to sell!" Yan Yu said, thinking about the stock at home.

Yan Laoer: "Don't need your hands, it's too cold! Sell as much as you have. It's sold out early. I don't think you should cut your window grilles. It's troublesome. If you have that time, you might as well cut a few more garlands." , People are looking at it rare, don't make it so big and long, the smaller one will definitely sell well."

Not enough time to complete 4000 words, let’s make a discount today, 3000 words, hehehe~o(*////▽////*)q~

I would like to add here: ancient red paper is quite expensive, and it is very large, as are other colored papers.

Not every scholar writes Spring Festival couplets by himself, and the sales scene is so hot under the bombardment of Yan Yu's sweet mouth. In fact, literati are shy when setting up stalls. The word wins, whoever writes well will sell more, if you don’t have any confidence in your own words, you won’t come out to sell Spring Festival couplets, for fear of losing money hehehe~
