Chapter 103 Eat

Seeing the Li family's ship sailing away from the dock, Lu Yange's smile fell down.

The four sisters of the Li family are all good-looking and are wearing brand new dresses, which are very beautiful.

The three sisters in her family also had beautiful eyes and wore old clothes that others didn't want, and they were as graceful as flowers.

When will the sisters in her family be like the sisters in the Li family? They don’t have to worry about their embarrassing life. The things they are bothering each day are either what jewelry to wear today or what kind of new clothes to cut.

After seeing off Manager Li’s family, Lu Quan was going to the dock to find out about Huaicheng with the small managers. It was August, and the rebel army should be about to make any moves?

Lu Jiange thought about her promised her sisters' small business, and was also preparing to take a look alone.

Lu Quan and the small manager were talking aside, and Lu Jingge slowly walked on the dock.

The town looks much more depressed, and even the dock at the gate is no longer as lively as before.

Several lonely cargo ships docked at the dock in an orderly manner. There were two thick wooden boards between the large ship and the dock. The workers carrying the living were orderly back and forth from the two springboards, unloading the cargo on the ship to the dock, or loading the cargo from the dock onto the ship.

Lu Yige walked a few steps closer and saw a familiar figure in the young and strong man who was carrying the life.

Chen Ping'an carried a bag of goods and put them down. He took a bamboo stick with a colored sign-in from the manager's hand. He watched the accountant draw the word "全" under his name, signing and making a transaction at night. He reconciled the accounts with the signature in his hand and the accountant's regular words.

If the bamboo sticks are lost or not, the color marks of each house are different. If you want to pretend, it does not match the accountant's word "典" and will not be given to you because you have too many bamboo sticks in your hand.

Every time Chen Ping'an takes the bamboo stick, he will watch the accountant add a piece of money on the word "六" under his name, so that he can take a pack of goods with confidence.

On the dock, there are often noisy things happening because of wrong accounts, and the workers who suffer in the end are always the ones who suffer in the end.

Chen Ping'an is very careful and tender. He has worked at the wharf in the past two years and has never made any mistakes. Because the wild wharf has walked several ships of eel cages in the past two months, several small officials are pretty good to Chen Ping'an.

"Xiao Si."

After finishing the account, Chen Ping'an, who had already finished his work, wanted to find a place to rest. When he turned around, he saw Lu Jiange, "Why are you here at the dock?"

"Come and send the shopkeeper Li."

"oh."

At this time, Chen Ping'an remembered it and couldn't help but blush and touched his head, "Last night, Grandma said that Storekeeper Li was going back to Yangzhou. I originally came here today and wanted to see Storekeeper Li off!"

He came to the dock early in the morning and wanted to secretly send Shopkeeper Li to the storekeeper. Who knew that when he arrived at the dock, there was a boat to unload the goods. A familiar uncle thought he was here to carry the job, so he called him and he followed him.

I was also careless and didn’t pay much attention when carrying the bag. I didn’t even notice when the ship of Manager Li’s house had already left!

Chen Ping'an is a person who knows how to be kind. Even though Manager Li doesn't know him, the boy from the Wild Wharf, the eel cages in the Wild Wharf were sold by Manager Li. Although his family is small, he has earned twenty or thirty taels of silver in more than two months.

So much money was something he never dared to think about before.

If it were before, the eel cage business was still in progress, he would just work harder, weave eel cages during the day and grow fish at night, and at most one year, his family would be able to build a house and buy land.

But now the rebel army is coming, and the eel cage business has stopped. Manager Li’s shopkeeper Lai Fushun also closed the door and had nowhere to sell the fish until it was finished.

He is a man who has a life in his eyes and has no one in his family to support his family. He depends on himself for everything.

I came to earn ten copper coins in the morning and was originally happy.

Now that Chen Ping'an heard that the ship of Manager Li and his team had left, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Seeing Chen Ping'an's embarrassment, Lu Qige quickly pulled his sleeves, waved at him, and signaled him to bend down.

Chen Ping'an bent down and heard the Lu family Xiaosi ask, "Brother Ping'an, do you want to make a lot of money in business?"

Do you want to make a lot of money in business?

Think about it, of course, I even dream of it!

Seeing that Chen Ping'an did not speak, Lu Xiaosi pulled Chen Ping'an's sleeve again: "Brother Ping'an?"

"I……"

Chen Ping'an's eyes fell on the people who came down from the ship with cargo on their backs. Many of them were in their prime, but because they had been carrying their lives on the dock for a long time, their backs were bent a lot.

If he had been carrying a labour on the dock, maybe he would have been like these uncles and uncles for a few years!

"think."

It seemed as if the desire in his heart was suddenly stimulated by the word "think". Chen Ping'an straightened his back and looked at Lu Xiaosi who was only at his chest with bright eyes.

"I think... Little Si brother, are you doing anything? Although I am not smart, I have enough strength. Little Si will do whatever you say, I will guarantee... guarantee..."

He wanted to be obedient, but he also knew that this was not suitable for a younger brother who was several years younger than him.

As if afraid that Lu Xiaosi would feel greedy, he hurriedly explained: "I don't have to earn a lot of money, I just can pay back the ten taels of silver you borrowed first."

His family could barely be able to buy thirty taels of land. But Uncle Lu Quan said that he had to build a house after buying land, so he kept ten taels of land.

The money became a debt, which made the boy's spine dare not stand up.

"My sisters and I are going to do some small business together, but you also know that my mother and my father will not let the four of us come out to do small business."

Lu Jiange looked at the lively stalls on both sides of the pier, and had an idea in his mind gradually formed: "If you and Grandma Chen can lead my eldest and second sisters to do it together, I think my parents should not disagree."

Chen Ping'an asked in confusion: "What business is it? Do you want so many people?"

"I think you can transform our fishing boats and do some water business?"

"Water business? What business can you do on water?"

For Chen Ping'an, fishing boats seem to be unable to do anything other than fishing and transporting goods.

The fishing boats of the two families are not big, and if they want to transport goods, they can't transport much goods, so they can only fish.

When Lu Jiange saw Chen Ping'an's expressionless look, he didn't feel surprised: "Just change the boat and sell some food."

"This is OK?"

Don’t you sell food in the store? Chen Ping’an has never seen anyone selling it on a fishing boat.

"Of course."

Although Jiangjiaba is a small town, there are many ships traveling every day, and only a few of them can stay in Jiangjiaba.

Lu Yange has seen it at the pier. Not all ships have to pass the gate, and some are just short stops at the pier.

The business in the vegetable market in this area of ​​the wharf is better than that in the town, and the braised food business of the Ding family is the best here in the wharf, and even the price is much higher than that in the town.

It is because most of the ships, who were replenishing supplies here, hurried to the next pier.

If they sell some food on the boat and send it to major ships where there are cargo merchants who cannot get off the boat, the business will definitely be able to do it.
