Chapter 89 Gorgeous Fireworks Charming Eyes
Shen Yi followed the crowd outside and stood under the eaves.
When shopkeeper Li lit the fuse, everyone held their breath and heard a "bang", a loud noise, and a big red chrysanthemum bloomed in the dark night sky, lighting up the night sky.
People who had never seen such big fireworks were stunned, and then enthusiastic shouts came from the streets.
Shopkeeper Li was the first to come to his senses and nodded with satisfaction. As soon as he lowered his head, he discovered that the second firework exploded, and it turned out to be green.
This time he was really shocked, "A different color?"
In the past, the large fireworks he set off were all of the same color and size, and there would be no such fireworks of different colors.
Before they could react, the third and fourth fireworks exploded in the sky one after another. Gold, blue, purple, red, green, chrysanthemums, baby's breath, tassel shapes, etc., all kinds of patterns were dizzying for everyone to see. .
Those who vowed to count the number of fireworks had completely forgotten their purpose and just stood there with their heads raised in a daze.
Everyone was still unsatisfied until the fireworks were set off.
The guests who ate at the inn also enjoyed the fireworks. They were full of praise and asked shopkeeper Li to find out where the fireworks were sold.
Shopkeeper Li quickly pushed Shen Yi in front of everyone, "This is the fireworks seller. If you need anything, you can come to him."
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Li." Shen Yi said sincerely.
Shopkeeper Li laughed and said, "You're welcome! This tael of silver tonight was well spent."
He didn't say clearly what it was worth, and Shen Yi didn't think much about it.
That night, all Shen Yi's remaining fireworks were snatched away, and many people chased him to ask if they had any for tomorrow's big fair.
Shen Yi could only check out of the hotel before dawn and drive the donkey cart back to Shenjiazhuang.
This was the first time Su Tai had stayed alone in an empty room since she got married, and she couldn't sleep!
The first time Shen Yi came back, she rushed out to open the door. Seeing that the donkey cart was empty, she hurriedly asked: "Why are you coming back at this hour? They are all sold out?"
Shen Yi didn't care to say anything more and asked Su Tai to put on all the remaining fireworks at home.
Su Tai was worried and went to Dahe Town together.
It was already past midnight when the couple arrived in town.
Unexpectedly, there was a group of people guarding them in the wind and snow. When they saw Shen Yi, a group of people swarmed up like locusts and stopped the two at the entrance of the town.
Shen Yi sells things and Su Tai collects the money, much faster than yesterday.
Within half an hour, all the fireworks and firecrackers were sold out.
The people who came behind didn't even catch a small firecracker, and they were so angry that they stamped their feet to prevent Shen Yi from leaving.
Su Tai was so frightened that she quickly rubbed herself against Shen Yi and said loudly: "Come and tell me what you want now, and we can come back in three days, okay?"
Now everyone finally stopped making trouble and lined up one by one to report their numbers.
The couple worked for another two-quarters of an hour before they were freed, and hurriedly got into the donkey cart and ran away.
On the way, Su Tai wiped the cold sweat from her head with a scared look on her face, "Thankfully I was smart just now, otherwise we both would have been stuck in the town and couldn't go back!"
Shen Yi speeded up again. When they got home, the two of them quickly closed the courtyard door and took the three little black dogs into the main room.
Su Tai went to the sheepfold to get some goat milk and boiled it. The two of them had a bowl each, and the dog also got a share.
After taking the warm goat's milk, she felt like she was alive.
"How much money did you make from this batch of fireworks?"
Shen Yi took out the money bag and started counting in front of Su Tai.
One, two, two taels.
“There are more than fifty-five taels in total.”
With that said, he quickly collected the money and gave it to Su Tai for arrangement.
Su Tai smiled, knocked on the edge of the table and thought: "I thought fireworks were hard to sell, but I didn't expect there were so many people vying for them. This time I estimate that I will have to order three hundred firecrackers and one hundred fireworks. Plus other firecrackers" it is estimated to cost 10,000 virtual coins.
She didn't say this out loud.
Shen Yi was a little worried, "Is there not enough goods?"
Su Tai shook her head, "This thing can be stored. It's no problem to order more. In the worst case, I can sell it in Moshi Town or bring it back to Dongmen Village to ask my mother for help."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then I'll do what you want. I just have time to make a nest for the dog in the past two days."
There is still some left over from the batch of bricks, cement and gravel that Su Tai bought before, enough to build a large and spacious house for the three dogs.
The couple acted separately.
After Su Tai placed the order in Huo Shikong, she immediately went out to help Shen Yi.
Not to mention, building this kind of dog house is like playing house, which is very interesting.
She played for a while and got excited.
Seeing that she was happy, Shen Yi said: "Then get a few more and build a doghouse in the four directions of the yard, southeast, northwest, and the three dogs will not fight when they can't live apart."
"This is good!" Su Tai started working happily.
On the first day, they could only make out the prototype of the kennel, and the roof would need to be used for a day or two. Su Tai couldn't help, so she went to fish in water and space.
Three days later, the batch of fireworks and firecrackers was delivered.
Shen Yi also immediately took the goods to Dahe Town. After setting off a bunch of firecrackers, people on the street were like mushrooms popping up after a rain, one or two. There were gradually more people.
After a while, Shen Yi's stall was crowded with people.
Perhaps it was word of mouth among the people in the past three days. Apparently more people came to buy fireworks today than those who ordered that day.
At this time, Shen Yi was extremely grateful for Su Tai's foresight.
It took a long time for a cart of goods to be sold, and it was all sold out. There were still people coming from behind, but they all came up empty.
Shen Yi's business gradually became deserted after three consecutive days of selling, and he was probably saturated.
Seeing that there were still a lot of fireworks left, he decided to go to Grindstone Town to have a look.
As soon as I set off a bunch of firecrackers in the town, several people rushed out angrily, "You are a deceitful thing. You are so evil-hearted and you are not afraid of retribution!"
Shen Yi was confused and hurriedly stopped those people and asked angrily, "I didn't do anything bad and I didn't offend anyone. Why do you scold me like this?"
Those few people just had an excuse to vent, but they didn't expect Shen Yi to get to the bottom of it, with a bit of embarrassment and a hint of anger on their faces.
"Don't you know? On the day of the fair, several people selling fireworks and firecrackers came to several towns. One firecracker cost fifty taels of silver, and a bucket of fireworks cost five taels of silver. Everyone sold some firecrackers in pain, but unexpectedly they were sold. Tricked!"
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yi with evil eyes and asked, "How much did you sell it for?"
Shen Yi didn't panic and said honestly: "Ten pennies for firecrackers and one tael for a big bucket of fireworks."
Now it was those people's turn to be surprised.
Everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other.
"That's right, my aunt said the price in Dahe Town is this."
A group of people focused their attention on Shen Yi again and asked, "Where did you sell it before?"
"Dahe Town has been selling for several days in a row."
Several people were stunned for a moment, and suddenly quickly gathered around Shen Yi's donkey cart. This one asked for two strings, and that one asked for a few. Some people anxiously walked through the streets to call their neighbors out.
Soon, all the fireworks and firecrackers brought by Shen Yi were gone. He also understood what happened and his face turned black with anger.
