"That's great. If we go together, dad won't say anything about me!"
Liu Xiyue hugged her mother's arm.
With his mother as his support, Magistrate Liu could only hold on no matter how dissatisfied he was.
The four of them sat down again and studied it carefully.
From now on, Xu Cai will be in charge of sales supervision in the store.
Liu Xiyue is responsible for replenishment and style communication.
The two people have different divisions of labor, but they need close cooperation, which involves various kinds of running-in.
As for the county magistrate's wife, she does not need to show up in the store, but she needs to strictly control the store's accounting transactions.
She has to list the details of the inventory that comes in and out, as well as the various accounts.
Of course, Ye Luoxin couldn't let others work in vain.
It was agreed that each person would receive 10 taels of silver per month, and if the sales were good, there would be a bonus for one month.
Liu Xiyue, mother and daughter, are not short of money, but they feel particularly generous when using the money they earn.
After arranging things here, Ye Luoxin went back with Xiao Mu.
During the remaining two days, they selected a hundred rabbits with the most beautiful colors.
He also arranged for people in the warehouse to pack five hundred portions of seasonings.
In addition, I also took more than a hundred bags made in the workshop.
With these things ready, Xiao Mu hired four carriages and drivers from the horse shop as preparation for going to Beijing.
As for the family carriage, it was left to Xiao Song and Yang Feng as a means of transportation.
By the time everything was packed, it was already the fourth day.
At dinner, Xu Zhengxiang looked at the dishes on the table and had no appetite.
After eating, he sighed softly.
"Mom, why don't you eat? Is the food tonight not to your liking?" Yang Feng asked.
Xu Zhengxiang reluctantly cheered up: "It's not that it's not to my liking! I just thought that my second brother and Luo Xin were leaving soon, and I couldn't help but feel worried."
"Mom, don't worry. Although I haven't been to the capital, my grandmother and grandfather are here. With them taking care of me, nothing big will happen."
Ye Luoxin comforted her.
"That's true, that's true!" Xu Zhengxiang nodded.
Xiao Changhe also said: "Originally, the children are older, and each of them is more capable than you. If they go there, they will definitely do better than you. Let's just be good and don't let them worry!"
Xiao Mu heard this and said, "Dad is right. You two, take care of your health, and we can feel more at ease outside."
Xiao Song said: "With us here, I will take good care of my parents."
Yang Feng quickly responded: "Yes, yes, we are here!"
It was rare for Xiao Jing to go home. When he came back, he heard that his brother and sister-in-law were going to the capital.
He was a little sad.
I also knew in my heart that this might be a good thing and there was nothing to feel sad about.
My brother and sister-in-law have different identities from them, and they will go back sooner or later.
"Then will you come back?" He looked up at Ye Luoxin and asked.
"Of course we will come back, we are coming back to celebrate the New Year!" Ye Luoxin scratched his nose.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingcai became happy again.
He also said: "You don't need to worry about things at home. If brother is too busy, I can help!"
"Okay, okay, I know you are very capable!"
It took a long time to eat dinner that day.
Everyone no longer discussed going to the capital, but instead talked about things from their childhood.
"My family was so poor at that time. We steamed two steamed buns every day and had to be divided among five people. Your father ate one each, the eldest brother and I shared half, and the second and third sons took the other half," Xu Zhengxiang said.
Xiao Song also began to recall: "We didn't have enough to eat at that time. We also went to the river to dig mud snails and catch fish. But there were too many hungry people. There were more people in the river than fish. Where could we catch them? .”
"I remember," Xiao Jing also called out, "I remember one time my second brother took out a nest of bird eggs. There were four in total. We kept them for a long time but were reluctant to eat them. Later, my mother used the four eggs to cook them. After a pot of soup, the taste of the soup is so fresh!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone laughed.
Seeing that several people were talking about the past, Ye Luoxin slapped Xiao Mu with her shoulder and motioned for him to say a few words as well.
Xiao Mu didn't want to speak, but when he saw Ye Luoxin's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
What to say?
Xiao Mu thought.
He was always in a bad mood at that time and spoke little, but no matter what delicious food there was at home, his share was indispensable.
Xu Zhengxiang saw Xiao Mu's expression and hurriedly helped him out: "When the second brother first came to the house, he was just a boring person. He sat at the door every day and looked at the intersection without saying a word."
Speaking of this, Xu Zhengxiang paused for a moment, looked at Xiao Mu's expression, and then continued: "At that time, we all thought that something had happened to his family and that his father had passed away, which made the child feel uncomfortable.
But who knew there were so many things hidden behind this! "
"That's right!" Xiao Changhe also said: "If we had known that he was the son of some prince, how could we dare to use him to work!"
"But it's all thanks to the second child." Xu Zhengxiang added: "Later, he learned mountain running from his master and was able to dig some medicinal materials to supplement the family income. If he hadn't made money by selling Polygonum multiflorum, the boss wouldn't even be able to marry a wife. !”
"Why did you come to me again while talking?" Xiao Song said with a smile.
"Not only at that time, but now, I also rely on my second brother. But since we are all brothers, I am not so polite!"
"I understand. Now we are all benefiting from my second brother and sister-in-law. When I grow up, you will also benefit from me."
Xiao Jing rushed to say.
"Okay, then we are waiting to take advantage of you!"
Everyone laughed again.
Time passed very quickly that night, and it was almost midnight by the time I went back to the house to rest.
Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu both washed themselves briefly.
Ye Luoxin was a little reluctant and talked to Huzi and Yuanbao for a long time.
The two little guys were so enthusiastic that she felt like it would be dawn as soon as she closed her eyes.
When she got up and came to the kitchen, she discovered that Xu Zhengxiang had already baked half a basin of pancakes.
There are egg pancakes without fillings and large meat pancakes filled with braised pork.
Looking at this posture, she must have gotten up early.
"Mom, why did you get up so early? We can just buy some steamed buns to eat on the way. You don't have to prepare so much!"
"Nothing out there is as delicious as home-cooked meat!" Xu Zhengxiang scooped up a big meatloaf, put it in a bowl, and asked Ye Luoxin to sit in front of the stove and eat it.
"And it's cold now, so the bread and meat are not easy to spoil. If there is no place to rest along the way, you can't go hungry!"
"Are everything ready? Can we go?" Doctor Pei also walked in from outside.
