Because the Zhang Qingzhu brothers wanted to set up a stall at the lantern fair, they had to leave much earlier than the villagers in order to occupy the seat in advance.
"Brother Six, you removed the table that could be disassembled, and we should go." Zhang Qingzhu took a basket and put a small ragdoll there, while talking to Zhang Qingyong, who came in with firewood.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Qingyong threw the firewood he had collected in the courtyard and went to their house. Seeing Zhang Qingfu, while walking to the table that could be disassembled, he asked him: "Xiao Qi, let's go first, shall we?"
Zhang Qingfu carefully put away the change, which they used to find the zero: "Well, let's go and occupy the seat first." You can also sell it in advance. He also walked over to help, and while dismantling, he said, "Brother Lin Xi's method is really good, this table can be assembled together after dismantling." It's really convenient to use such a table as a stall.
"Well, this is really a clever idea." Zhang Qingfu exclaimed as he demolished, "I don't know what kind of child Lin Xi is raised by someone who would have such a strange idea." Looking at the polished smooth table, "Brother Five's craftsmanship is good, I really made the table in his mouth."
They couldn't guess the origin of Lin Xi, and Zhang Qingfu felt that he could only wait for his memory to recover. As for the matter of looking for help from the government, they did not dare to think, let's not say whether they could help Lin Xi find a home, in case they encountered someone with a bad mind, they would arrest Lin Xi because he did not have a household registration and would arrest him or put him up for the crime or sell him, anyway, neither result would be very good.
"Brother Lin Xi's family situation should not be simple." Zhang Qingfu took the rope out and said, "Brother Six, do you think it is recommended to recommend this kind of table to those small vendors?" How convenient can it be disassembled and installed, they should be able to see it, right?
Zhang Qingyong felt that it was also feasible: "Okay, let's ask and try, maybe we can get work for the fifth brother."
Zhang Qingfu was happy in his heart, and after the table was cleaned up, he said: "Brother Lin Xi recently remembered some things, maybe his memory will be restored, or go to see the doctor." I think he also has worries in his heart, but he is embarrassed to mention it. I will tell the second brother later, going to the lamp today will let him take Brother Lin Xi along to find the doctor to take the pulse.
Zhang Qingyong agreed: "I should go to see the doctor." Can you talk to the second brother? I don't know if the second brother has money, if not, let him ask his mother. Lin Xi's face was thin and embarrassed to mention the matter of going to see the doctor, since we knew, we couldn't do it improperly.
"Brother Lin Xi has some money, and he doesn't know if it's enough." Because the flower basket was sold in a style that Lin Xi helped provide, they sold it and gave him some money, "Well, I'll talk to him later." Zhang Qingfu seized the time to find his second brother.
When he set off, Zhang Qingzhu carried two baskets of ragdolls, Zhang Qingfu did not have an empty hand, he lifted part of the table, and the rest was carried by Zhang Qingyong. Brother Zhang's body is much stronger than that of the two younger brothers.
Because he wanted to make money, Zhang Qingzhu was very happy. He calculated in his heart how much money he could get into his family if he could sell the puppets, and then he thought of the small stone and said, "Leave him two puppets in advance, and if you encounter them at night, give them to him to play."
"We went early, we should be able to find a better position, right?" Zhang Qingzhu said happily.
Zhang Qingyong: "It should be possible, the people in our village still need more than two hours to enter the city, we left early enough."
Zhang Qingfu did not think so: "It should not occupy a good position." However, we are not old vendors, occupying too good a position will cause trouble, not a bad position on the line.
Zhang Qingzhu knew that his seventh brother knew more, and naturally believed in him, but he was a little worried: "If the location is not good, won't it affect it?" It doesn't matter if it can't be sold, I'm most afraid that I can't sell it. Wasting so much time for his mother and sister-in-law not to say, Brother Lin Xi would definitely be disappointed.
Zhang Qingfu smiled, "Don't worry, if you really can't sell it, I'm sure no one is more disappointed than you." You can eat both steamed buns, not to mention others. "For stalls, everyone has the attitude that it is good to be able to sell, and it is not surprising that they cannot be sold. After all, it's so easy to make money.
Entering Pingmo City, I felt a more lively atmosphere than ever.
Zhang Qingzhu sighed when he saw the situation: "Brother Seven, what you said is really right, I thought we came early enough, I didn't expect that there were already so many people!"
"That is, people rely on this to eat, naturally more active than us." Zhang Qingfu was not surprised, "Sixth brother, let's go fast and quickly find a place to settle down." Little bamboo, hurry up and keep up!
The liveliest street was almost occupied, and the three of them found a place at the end of the street to set up a stall, thanks to Zhang Qingfu's acquaintance with the stall owner next to him. He is a man who can speak and talk sweetly, and he was responsible for selling flower baskets before, and he also took the opportunity to strengthen several stall owners. That's why this time it was so smooth that they evened out some empty seats for them. Of course, the fact that what everyone sells does not conflict is also an important reason.
Zhang Qingzhu looked at the seven brothers and the stall owners on both sides of the set, and also sent two puppets as a thank you. I was full of admiration in my heart: "Still the seventh brother is powerful!" I can't compare. Thinking that he seemed to quarrel more fiercely, only he could argue with Xue Chunlian before, and the seven brothers could not do it. What did Brother Seven say? It seems that if you compare with an unreasonable person, you must be more unreasonable than him.
"If only I could get along with Brother Seven." While thinking in his heart, he kept assembling the table with his hands.
The stall owner on the side looked at their movements with some strangeness, and some curious people came over and asked: "Can you disassemble or unload this table?"
Zhang Qingfu knew that this was an opportunity to make money, and he took the opportunity to say it, of course, he also explained it to other curious eyes: "Yes, look at the novelty, right?" It was something that a few of my brothers in the family figured out. Can be disassembled and assembled, handling is convenient for us to carry on the past, especially suitable for coming out to set up stalls. My house is far from the city, and it would be too much trouble to move the table. Some
stall owners were very interested after listening: "So this table is strong, isn't it?" Can I put weight on something?
Zhang Qingfu explained to them: "If it is too heavy, it will definitely not work, but the general cloth is not much of a problem." And there is more than one style of ours, such as these red rope silk sold by Brother Zhang can be made with a few simpler rods. There are also layers that can be layered..." He carefully told them about the style that his fifth brother could make now. Then there was no mention of business, and whoever had the intention would definitely come to him.
Zhang Qingzhu, who was watching from the side, admired the starry eyes, and after those stall owners left, "Seventh brother, you are really powerful!"
Zhang Qingfu smiled and did not speak, in fact, he prefers to do business than farming. However, there is no chance.
After the table was set up, Zhang Qingzhu arranged various ragdolls according to different styles. A kind of Muppet is arranged in order from the color size, and each Muppet color size is different, after the placement, it looks more interesting.
Some women will look at it curiously, ask for the price, but no one buys it.
Zhang Qingzhu looked a little anxious: "Seventh brother, how come no one can see that no one buys it?" Is the price not right? "But they didn't set a high price."
Zhang Qingyong was also a little worried: "Xiao Qi, do they look at the simple style and do it themselves, they don't want to spend money to buy it?"
Zhang Qingzhu also felt that this possibility was relatively large: "Then what to do?" "Maybe people will do it at a glance."
Zhang Qingfu did not worry: "What are you in a hurry, this is for children to play, we can't sell it now, and when adults come out to play with children at night, we will have a chance." And he doesn't think the business will last long. If you can really sell it, there will definitely be a lot of stalls to start selling. They just want to make some money.
After Zhang Qingzhu listened, he could only believe his seventh brother first.
Today is the 15th Lantern Festival of the first month, but Lin Muwei's days still go on and on. The mother-in-law mentioned to him about the continuation of the string, and he still pushed it as usual. The first time the affair was arranged by his mother-in-law, he was disgusted for four or five years, and this time he would not let his mother-in-law arrange any niece for her no matter what come to yourself.
Lin Xuwei came out of his father's study, holding a sullen breath in his heart. Those who celebrate the big holidays can't have a comfortable day. Everyone envied that he was the Third Young Master of the Lin Mansion, dressed in brocade and eating silk and silk, but who knew his difficulty. Only to blame him is that he is a concubine, if it were not for the fact that his second brother had been rewarded and promoted at the border pass, he would only have been pinched even harder.
He wanted to go out for a walk, and staying in the Lin family made him feel depressed. But the big festival also went out and wandered blindly into the mouth of his mother-in-law, which must have become his opinion of his parents. The mother-in-law who had always wanted to put the sin of disrespecting her parents on him would not miss a chance.
After thinking about it, Lin Muwei said to the elder follower next to him: "Lin Gui, you go and bring Xuan'er, today the Lantern Festival street is lively, I will take him out for a walk."
"Yes, young master."
Lin Yixuan, as the eldest son of Lin Muwei, even if he did not have a mother a year ago, his life was still OK. Because although his father was a concubine, the Lin family's concubine was too straw, and his father was capable and managed a lot of the Lin family's property, so he had some face in the Lin family. Unlike the other sons of the Lin family, those who were crushed to death by the concubines did not have much to do except to please the concubines and earn some benefits. The same are all Lin family members, and there is also a huge disparity in status.
Five-year-old Lin Yixuan was originally endorsing it, and his father often told him that what is more important than his own ability is not only the protection of the family. He must study well so that he will have a chance to come out in the future. At a young age, he had seen too many battles in the Lin Province, and he had kept in mind his father's teachings and had been studying very hard, but he also remembered his father's teachings and could not show too much of a sharp edge. Learn to be clumsy, but you can't appear too stupid to be despised. This measure is to behave slightly inferior to the cousin.
After hearing the next person report that his father was going to take him to the street to play, he immediately threw the book on the table happily: "Grandma I don't carry it, I go to play with my father." "Even if he is intelligent and obedient, he is only a five-year-old child, and his father is willing to take him to play because he is very happy."
Lin Yixuan was very happy to see his father: "Father! "He has a deep admiration for his father. The next person said that the Third Young Master was powerful, capable and talented, and he knew this better as a son. In his heart, his father was very great, and even the Lin family could not suppress his father all the time.
Lin Muwei also really loved this son, even if the woman was not pleasing to him, but this was his own child after all, his only child at present. As for the woman, he was glad that the man was not blessed to live too long, otherwise this eldest son would only be fed and ruined by someone with a heart. So, he didn't care who moved the hand.
Lin Muwei lovingly took his son's small hand: "I heard that there is a lantern festival in the city today, and my father can't take you out to play at night, so let's take advantage of the day to go out and feel the liveliness." "Every festival, the children and grandchildren of the Lin family have dinner together, and they don't have a chance to hang out at night. In the past, there were no lanterns in the city, but this year it seems a little inconvenient.
Lin Yixuan was happy: "Thank you father."
..................
Zhang Qingfu smiled and took the money, and the Muppet business finally opened. When the guests left, he said to the two brothers who had been worried: "Look, isn't it open now?" Don't be too impatient to do business, you must be patient.
Lin Yixuan usually can't go out to play, first, he is not suitable for running out of the house, and the next person does not dare to take him out privately, and second, he has already entered school and has something to learn every day. Fortunately, Lin Muwei was very fond of this child, and every month when he was resting, he would take him out for a walk, talk to him about many things, and teach him by the way.
The children were amused by many things on the street, just passing by Zhang Qingzhu's brother's stall. Lin Yixuan saw the puppet on the stall at a glance: "Father, you see, that's a tiger, right?" I've seen it in books.
Lin Muwei saw the small ragdoll on the stall and looked very interesting. He has always been generous about buying things for his son. Seeing that his son was interested, he walked to the stall.
The stall is not too high, and the child can see exactly what is on it. Lin Yixuan asked Zhang Qingfu them, "Can I touch it?"
Zhang Qingfu felt that the child was really educated: "Of course, you can touch it casually."
Lin Yixuan looked at his father again, and only after the other party nodded, did he reach out and touch the little puppets. He was more interested in the little puppets than the big ones.
"This cat doesn't look like my cat, but it looks good."
Zhang Qingfu explained to him with a smile: "This is a toy, and it is not the same as a real cat." Deliberately made chubby, it looks more cute.
Lin Muwei also picked up a ragdoll, the workmanship did not look exquisite enough, but the mind was quite strange. Looking down at his son who was full of excitement and wanted to touch it, he looked at Zhang Qingfu, who kept explaining to his son.
"I think you're a little familiar. Are you the guy who sells bean sprouts?
Zhang Qingfu smiled, "Third Young Master Lin has good eyesight." I was surprised by his good memory, after all, he was just an insignificant figure. At the same time, it was also clear that it was not surprising that this Third Young Master of the Lin Family could be praised.
Zhang Qingzhu, who was next to him, looked at Lin Muwei curiously, and how did he not remember who he was, and wondered in his heart: "Third Young Master Lin?" It seems that there is such a person, and he has ordered a lot of bean sprouts with us. How come I don't remember what he looked like? "After thinking about it, I really can't remember what this young master looks like." He was excited to patronize, who was in the mood to remember what the parents were like.
Zhang Qingyong on the side was curious about how his seventh brother knew such a person. As soon as he looked at Lin Muwei, he knew that he was a brother in gold and jade, and then he looked at Lin Yixuan, "This child is really good." "I can't help but fantasize about what my children will look like in the future if I can get married."
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little sour in my heart. Miao Cuicui said that she wanted to marry him, but after having a better family, she still chose someone else. Zhang Qingyong told himself that if the girl's family did not want to marry a good family, Miao Cuicui chose it was also forgivable. But my heart still can't help but be lost.
Lin Yixuan took a few small ragdolls, looked left and looked, and felt that each one was good-looking, and which one wanted. He could only ask his father for help: "Father, I can't choose." "There is not a heavy one, which makes it difficult for him to give up.
Lin Muwei directly wrapped it up for him: "Then it's all over." If you like it, you can pick a few more.
Lin Yixuan happily picked out the other favorites, and then picked a few that he didn't like.
Zhang Qingzhu saw that people picked a lot at a time, so he took out a small flower basket, which was very miniature and suitable for children to carry. Now it is also convenient to use for small muppets.
Zhang Qingfu took the small flower basket and then gave it to Lin Yixuan: "The more you buy, the more this small basket will be given to you."
Lin Yixuan did not expect that there was such a small flower basket, just suitable for his small puppet, so he happily took it, and then put his favorite puppet into it. It was nice to watch: "Exactly! Lin Muwei saw that his son had been chosen, so he asked Zhang Qingfu: "How much is it?"
Zhang Qingfu calculated: "A small three-piece money, such a large five-piece money, and the largest one of ten texts." A total of forty-eight pieces of money. Just give forty-five texts.
Lin Muwei asked his entourage to pay and then said to Zhang Qingfu, "If you are interested, you can sell me some styles." "He has this kind of KitKat mentality, and if it works properly, he can make a profit." No one is too much to make money, not to mention that he still has a plan in mind.
Zhang Qingfu was a little surprised, but he did not refuse. They don't have much capital, these little muppets are easy to imitate, and they can't make more elaborate muppets with better materials. Although you can still earn money with new styles, you can'tMany. But if you sell styles, you may be able to sell for a good price. However, he did not directly agree: "I have to discuss this matter with my brother at home."
Lin Muwei saw that he did not directly refuse, knowing that this matter was a chance: "Well, if you have the intention, you can go to Tongfu Building in three days to find the Fang treasurer." "Okay."
On the side, Lin Yixuan admired his father in his heart: "When you go out shopping, you don't forget to do business." Then looking at the dolls in the basket, "The few who don't like it give it to their cousins." After Lin Muwei's father and son left, Zhang Qingzhu was surprised: "They are really rich, they bought twelve at a time!"
Zhang Qingyong thought in his heart: "... That's not the point good or bad! Then he whispered to the Seventh Brother, "Little Seven, what is that Third Young Master?" What does it mean that he wants to buy styles?
"He is the Third Young Master of the Lin Family in Pingmo City." His family is famous in the city. Zhang Qingfu explained briefly about the style of the puppet, "This Third Young Master is running some business in his hands, and he should be interested in this Muppet." If they made it, they would definitely sell it to the rich. If Brother Lin Xi can agree to sell, he should be able to sell it at a good price.
Zhang Qingzhu understood: "So that Brother Lin Xi can earn money?" "Lin Xi has no memory and doesn't know where his home is, and he doesn't have anyone to rely on, if he can earn money, he can definitely be more at ease." He was very happy for the other person.
Zhang Qingfu also had the same idea, he felt that although Lin Xi did not show it usually, his heart was definitely uneasy. If you can save more money, you can feel more confident in your heart.
When they arrived in the city, it was already the time when the lights were on. Entering the city, Liang Han was worried that Xiao Shi had run away, after all, there were human traffickers in every world, and Xiao Shi was almost caught and sold by human traffickers on the way to escape, which made him more careful.
Holding Xiao Shi's hand, Liang Han smiled: "You can play, but you can't run blindly." If you are abducted by someone, you will not see a good person like Uncle Liang. Xiao Shi smiled and nodded, "I know, let's hurry up and find Uncle Xiaozhu." After finding him, I went to eat tangyuan, and I was hungry after walking so many roads.
"Well, I'm hungry too. Then let's hurry up and find someone. Liang Han instructed again, "Don't let go of my hand tightly."
"Got it!"
Liang Han turned back to greet Uncle Liang and they went into the crowd with a small stone.
As soon as Xiao Shi entered the lively street, his eyes were busy: "Uncle Liang, look at that flower lamp!" That's butterflies aren't they? It's so pretty!
Liang Han looked at the lanterns: "Well, it's butterflies." "I praise these handicrafts in my heart," I said to me after I wanted some flower lanterns. I'll buy you one.
"But let's talk about it, only one." Children should be well raised, but they should not be too accustomed to it. If the children in the village have only one flower lamp or no flower lamp, but the small stone has two, then they may be rejected by the group while being envious.
"Okay, I'll want one." Xiao Shi was not embarrassed to let Liang Han spend more money for him, because as long as there was only one flower lamp, he did not easily buy it. I plan to read it all over and then decide, it is really the rhythm of the three houses.
"Let's go find Uncle Xiaozhu first!"
As for Zhang Qingzhu, who let the big one and the small one look for it, they were collecting stalls.
The puppets that were still worried about not being able to sell turned out to be sold out, and even sold out. Zhang Qingzhu was very happy: "Hey hey, great! All sold out!
Zhang Qingyong was also very happy: "I was also a bit surprised. Or can the seventh brother speak the Tao, so that those big ladies have bought one.
Zhang Qingfu was also happy, and carefully hid the money bag and put it on the innermost layer of clothes. Then he took out ten pieces of money: "We can't move this money yet, first give each of you five pieces of money, go eat a bowl of tangyuan."
Zhang Qingzhu happily picked up, the day is very cold, they stood here for a long time naturally want to drink some hot warm body: "Seventh brother, don't you go?"
Zhang Qingfu: "I'll wait here for the big brother to play with them."
Zhang Qingyong said, "Xiao Qi, you go play with Xiao Zhu, I just wait for them here." Go for it. Finally, Zhang Qingfu went to eat tangyuan with Zhang Qingzhu.
