Fight the Giants

  Chapter 56 Unknown situation

When the two old couples heard that Huo Xi said they wanted it all, they looked at each other and patted their thighs: "Okay, I'll sell it to you." It's not more expensive than others, but it's better than not being able to sell it. good.

  Huo Xi watched them weigh in a hurry, two baskets of oranges weighed 62 catties, the two of them calculated for a long time, but they couldn't figure it out.

  Huo Xi said a total of ninety-three essays. They also asked someone to help with the calculation.

   When I figured it out, it was indeed ninety-three characters, and the old couple even praised Huo Xi repeatedly.

  Huo Xi took out a hundred copper coins and handed them to them, saying: "I can't pick it, can you help me pick the ferry in the outer city?"

   "If you can, why can't you!"

  The two took the copper coins, counted and counted. The old woman happily put the copper coins into her bosom, and when the old man saw that she had collected the money, he happily picked up the pole, and hung the basket ropes on both ends of the pole.

   "Xiaowa go ahead and lead the way."

  The old lady followed behind to protect the baskets while talking, for fear that one or two would fall out. The old man happily followed Huo Xi with his basket in his hand, walking briskly to the ferry in the outer city without feeling tired at all.

  His son and daughter-in-law also told them not to bother picking things into the city, because no one wants things, and finally they have to work hard to pick them back.

  However, if you don’t pick it and try it, how do you know it won’t sell? Isn't this sold?

  The two old men walked briskly with copper coins in their pockets.

  When Huo Xi arrived at the ferry in the outer city, Yang Fu and Huo Erhuai were already on board. Worried about the cloth at home, and also worried about Huo Xi who was alone in the outer city, he sold the fish early. When I came back to see her, I haven't returned yet, and I'm still going to look for her.

  Seeing Huo Xi leading an old couple back with a load of oranges, he was dumbfounded. I can't come back to my senses for a long time.

  How does Xi'er buy a load of oranges? The family hasn't eaten fruit for quite a while, and Nian'er can eat complementary food, but Nian'er still can't eat this orange, right? Or is it that this orange can remove mildew?

   It's not easy to ask more questions when outsiders are around, so Huo Erhuai and the others just helped to carry the oranges onto the boat, freeing up the basket for the old couple.

  When the old couple was about to leave, Huo Xi thought about the usefulness of citric acid and also had a lot of cloth, so she said to the two of them: "Grandpa, grandma, do you still have such oranges at home?"

ah? "You want more?"

   "Yes. Do you still have any?"

"Yes, why not. There are still a lot of knots on the tree. Every year, they rot on the tree and fall to the ground to make flower fertilizer." When the two elders heard that she wanted more, they nodded repeatedly, and the smiles on their faces couldn't stop live.

   "Little baby, do you really want it?" The old lady looked at Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai as she spoke, and was amazed to see that they both looked at the youngest baby together without expressing their views.

   Seeing Huo Xi nodding, he happily said: "Xingle, there are still some at home, so we will bring them to you tomorrow? Send them here?"

Huo Xi nodded: "Chen Chu, we are waiting for you here. Bring two loads a day, and green ones too. By the way, if you are willing to help peel the skin and bring only the pulp, I will give you an extra twenty-five loads per load." Wen's salary."

   "Huh? Peel the skin?" Although the skin has been peeled off, it loses weight, but it costs an extra twenty-five cash per load.

  The two immediately agreed: "Xingle, that's easy, and it doesn't take much effort. The kids at home can make it. Tomorrow we will only pick the fruit!"

   There must be several hundred catties at home! How much can this sell for! The corners of their mouths couldn't close together, and they hurried home to pick oranges.

  Seeing the two walking briskly away carrying an empty basket, Yang Shi, Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu all looked at Huo Xi.

   "Father, I use these oranges. I want to develop a kind of thing, and use this kind of thing to wash those cloths."

  Using oranges? "Can it be cleaned?"

  Huo Xi thought for a while: "It should be possible, but we have to see how effective it is."

   "Okay, then you tell me how to do it, and my parents will help you."

   "Okay. Dad, have you bought the basin yet?"

   "I bought three, you go in and see if you need them. If you can't use them, Dad will buy them again."

  Huo Xi went into the cabin to have a look, and saw three large basins stacked together and fixed vertically on the ship's wall. She went up to compare and found that they were half her height. It should work.

  Silk is expensive, and it cannot be soaked for a long time. It is impossible to soak dozens of pieces of cloth at once. There is no such condition. Soaking three horses at the same time is enough for her and Yang to take turns washing them.

   came out and said to Mrs. Yang: "Mother, please help me boil some water, don't boil it. When it starts to bubble, leave the fire."

"OK."

  Ms. Yang was about to leave, but Huo Xi stopped her again, and gave each of them a Huangyan milk orange: "Try them all, five cents a piece."

   "What? Five papers for one?"

   Didn’t you hear me wrong? What kind of precious oranges are these, and they cost five cents a piece? Is it five cents a catty? Put it in the palm of your hand and look back and forth. It's half the size of a palm. If you weigh it again, I'm afraid it will be worth a catty with only four or five. Wouldn't that be the same price as meat?

   Hiss! It is also too expensive. Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai looked at each other, seeing that the precious oranges in their hands couldn't be eaten.

   "Mother, it's rare to eat it once, and I didn't buy much, I only bought twenty. Try them all."

   Only bought twenty? Then you have to ask for a penny? Huo Erhuai didn't earn so much money selling fish today.

   It hurts even more.

  Yang Fu cut open the skin quickly, and quickly threw a piece into his mouth: "I bought everything..." He paused. After chewing it carefully, his eyes lit up: "It's delicious! It's so sweet! Sister, brother-in-law, try it quickly! It's so sweet!"

   Be good, no wonder you need five coins.

  Mr. Yang swallowed, and put the oranges into her arms: "Leave you and Xi'er to eat."

Huo Xi took out another one, quickly dissected it, and divided half between her and Huo Erhuai: "Father, mother, you can eat it. It's delicious. We only eat it once a year, and we will earn money in the future." Let’s buy some more to eat.”

  Ms. Yang was stuffed with a pill in his mouth, but couldn't spit it out. After chewing it carefully, it was really sweet, no wonder it cost five cents a piece.

   "Xi'er, what about these?" Yang Fu pointed to another kind of orange in Xi'er's back basket.

"That is Yingzhou tangerine. It is also delicious. It only costs fifteen yuan a catty. I bought five catties and went back to Taoyedu at night to share with everyone. These days, thanks to them taking care of our business, They bought us dozens of jars of wine, dozens of pieces of cloth, daily vegetables, oil, salt, and tung oil. They also bought us a lot of business."

   Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai nodded after hearing this, saying that Huo Xi was thoughtful.

  Yang Fu hugged the basket, looking at the oranges inside, feeling a little distressed. Usually, his sister and brother-in-law would not be willing to buy so many fruits and eat them at home.

Huo Xi then whispered to him: "If you give up, you can get something. In business, you have to be willing to give up small profits, so that you can get big profits in your pockets. Like before when we went to the city to sell crabs, if we didn't give benefits to the boys, they would give us money." To call the steward?"

  Yang Fu was relieved when he heard it, and planned to put the basket in his arms.

  Seeing the soap in the basket again, I took out one: "Xi'er, this is a fragrant soap! You still buy so many fragrant soaps?" My heart ached again.

  Huo Xi nodded: "Well, it's also used to wash fabrics."

"so much?"

  Huo Xi rolled his eyes at him: "You don't even look at how much cloth we have."

  Yang Fu thought, yes, there are dozens of horses. He took his things to collect them.

   Thank you for your rewards, monthly votes, recommended votes, comments, likes, and comparisons. Thanks. Love you guys. I will save more manuscripts, and there will be more updates after they are put on the shelves.
