Things turned around when Hong Xiu made a prompt decision in an accident.
It can be said that the three of them have some luck.
Although the shop opened by the Hongxiu trio has some business, it is only tepid, and there is even a slight loss in terms of revenue and expenditure.
After all, although this shop is not a prosperous place, the flow of people is not small, and the rent is not cheap.
But the three people in Hongxiu were not discouraged, and they also found some fun in making money on their own.
"Sister, although we don't have the same life as in the past in the Jin family, where we had fine clothes and fine food, but we don't have to be careful about making smiles, and we don't have to worry about other people's disdainful looks. These days are the best for us."
Yingge sat on the table, grabbing a piece of cake and eating it while talking to Hongxiu who was looking at the account book opposite.
Beside Yingge, Lu Yi poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Yingge, indicating that she would take a sip, "This pastry is very dry, you can eat it, hurry up, take a sip and send it to me Give it away.”
Lu Yi really didn’t understand how delicious these dry snacks were. After Yingge sat down, she ate three pieces in a row. Lu Yi couldn’t take a bite. Feeling her mouth dry, she poured Yingge a cup of tea.
Hongxiu put down the account book in her hand, smiled at Yingge and shook her head: "Well, although it is free to live out the life, as the madam said, how can the life outside be so easy?< br>
I thought, let's open this shop for three to five years and save some money, then go buy a few acres of farmland outside the city.
In this life, you have to have a field after all. Buying a field is always the right thing to do no matter when.
If our business does well in the future, we might be able to buy this shop and the yard where we live now together. ”
Yingge looked at Hong Xiu with light in her eyes. Although Lu Yi knew in her heart that it was very difficult to achieve what Hong Xiu said, but just listening to Hong Xiu’s words, Lu Yi couldn’t help but feel like There was light in Yingge's eyes
"Sister, it would be great if that day comes!
When the time comes, we will follow the example of ladies from rich families, going for outings in the countryside in the spring, fishing by the river in the summer, mountain climbing to enjoy the scenery in the autumn, and cooking snow and making tea in the winter.
This is a really happy day. "
Luyi stretched out her finger and tapped Yingge's forehead, and said to her with a smile on her face: "You, you are just thinking of good things.
If only it could be that simple. "
Hongxiu thought about what Yingge said, laughed twice, and then said to the playful Yingge and Luyi: "Okay, it's late at night, let's sleep tomorrow. We still have to go to the dock to see the goods, but we have to get up early. ”
The next day, when the sky became brighter, Hongxiu, who lived in the east wing of the yard behind the shop, opened his eyes. After lying on the bed for a few breaths to calm down, Hongxiu stood up quickly.
Hongxiu is the eldest among the three, and is very independent and thoughtful. Therefore, among the three who have become god-sisters, Hongxiu is respected as the eldest sister.
Yingge is the youngest and more lively. She is the younger sister among the three.
In this way, only Hongxiu lived in the east wing, while Lu Yi and Yingge slept in the west wing.
After Hongxiu got up, she went to the kitchen to scoop up hot water. After washing, she knocked on the door of the west wing and called Luyi and Yingge.
After the three of them ate the thick porridge cooked in the pot last night, they locked the door and hailed a car on the street to go to the pier.
The supply of goods for Hongxiu and their shop comes from the Jin family. Every quarter, a batch of new goods comes to the dock. At this time, Hongxiu and the other two people get up early and go to the dock to pick up the goods in person. In fact, the goods in their small shop are mixed with the goods of the Jin family. Hongxiu feels that she has taken advantage of the Jin family. If the new goods arrive, they have to be delivered to the shop. It is really a little bit. It’s also shameless.
In this way, every time new goods arrive, the three Hongxiu people will personally come to the dock to hand over the goods to the manager of the Jin family, saving people the trouble of a trip to the store.
The donkey cart rattled towards the pier. Before they even reached the pier, which was only separated by a street, Hongxiu felt a trace of water vapor coming directly to her face.
The donkey cart only stopped at the outside, because you have to pay to go inside.
After Hongxiu paid the handlebar knot and thanked him, the three of them walked quickly to the pier side by side.
It was already dark at this time, and there were people shouting on the pier. There were many men and women standing on both sides carrying baskets or carrying burdens selling local food.
There was a woman wearing a blue headscarf holding a large basket and shouting crisply to the boats moored on the pier, "Glutinous rice, hot glutinous rice (here) It’s the imagination of a northerner. I’ve only been to Nanjing and eaten fried dough sticks wrapped in glutinous rice. I really don’t understand the southern dialect. Please feel free to substitute your local dialect.)”
If someone shouts. After the woman arrived, she stood still on the edge of the pier, waiting for the family to come down. She took out the glutinous rice that had been steamed at home from the basket with dried lotus leaves. If she added a copper plate, she could spread it. Serve some salty shredded cabbage made by the woman herself.
Hongxiu looked at Yingge and stared at the woman in blue scarf, "Wait a moment, wait for us to receive the goods, and then buy another one to eat."
The three of them arrived at the old place, and sure enough, the manager of the Jin family had already They were already standing here waiting. The three of them quickly saluted the steward, and after a brief greeting, they stood aside and waited together.
According to past rules, in another quarter of an hour, five or six Jin family boats will dock at the dock.
While a few people were standing on the edge of the pier and looking around, they heard a sharp shout not far away.
The three people in Hongxiu, together with the steward and several servants waiting for the boat, all raised their heads and looked over there.
I saw a woman picking up the mouth of a little child on the ground, looking like she was trying to pluck out the food from the child's mouth.
"Dalang, spit it out, spit it out, spit it out, spit it out!"
The three people in Hongxiu looked at each other. Li Sanniang came to see a doctor. Later, Li Sanniang visited the Jin family several times. She could feel that Li Sanniang did not look down on or despise them for working as concubines for wealthy businessmen. One could even see a trace of pity in Li Sanniang's eyes.
Therefore, the three of them have a great impression of Li Sanniang.
Later, the medicine prescribed by Li Sanniang cured Yingge, and they were also optimistic about the husband of the Jin family. The three of them became even more curious about Li Sanniang, a female doctor, and spent money to hire a lady in the yard. Help go out and find out about Li Sanniang's deeds.
At that time, Li Sanniang had already gained some fame in Chang'an City, so the three of them easily learned from her mother-in-law that Li Sanniang had passed the Heimlich Technique (Heimlich Maneuver, pp. 13-15). Chapter plot) saved a little child.
Later, Hong Xiu wanted to know more about it, and even used her private money to buy a pamphlet from the Imperial Medical Office, which printed the detailed methods and reasons of Hai's technique.
So, at this moment, Hongxiu guessed that the little child was either choked or choked?
Hongxiu thought of this and ran towards the woman and the child, "What is Madam Hongxiu doing?"
Hongxiu thought it was important to save people, so she trotted over. However, Yingge, who was slow to act, replied to the manager: "Manager Jin, sister, go see if you can save someone?"
