Back to seven or seven kinds of fields to raise children

As soon as the gala was mentioned, the whole family cheered up, and the children also ate quickly.

After the reunion dinner, I was supposed to rest for a while, but I will not rest now.

Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan hurriedly found melon seeds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc., put them in a large pot and stir-fried them, and kept them for the guests.

Su Anying grabbed the children, the west room was very hot, and they had to take a bath and change their clothes for the new year.

Zhou Guilan chops vegetables, kneads noodles, adjusts stuffing, and prepares to make dumplings.

05:30 It was less than six o'clock, everything was ready, Xu Shiyan rolled the skin, Su Anying and Zhou Guilan made dumplings.

Xu Chenghou coaxed the two young ones not to make trouble, Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping washed their hands, and ran to serve as dumpling legs, helping to arrange dumplings, press cakes, etc.

This time, Zhou Guilan didn't require that the medicine must be picked up by hand, that would be too slow.

It's better to cut quickly with a knife, raise the knife with your hand and drop it, and evenly white and fat noodles are cut out one by one.

Sprinkle thin noodles and flatten them, roll them thin with a rolling pin, wrap them with meat stuffing mixed with cabbage and radish, and rows of white and fat dumplings are finished.

Not only the Xu family wanted to make dumplings in advance to watch TV, but other people thought so too.

Especially those who don't have a TV at home and have to go to other people's houses to watch TV, they all start making dumplings early.

Before eight o'clock, the Xu family's dumplings were all wrapped.

Fearing that the dumplings would be left on the curtain for a long time, Zhou Guilan simply found a white cloth to cover the dumplings and took them outside.

Put the dumplings outside in this cold weather, and they will freeze hard after a while. When the dumplings are cooked at night, bring them back to the pot and eat them the same way.

As soon as the dumplings were brought out here and the panel was cleaned up, the dog outside started barking.

As soon as I went out, it turned out that many people from the neighbors came to see the party.

"Brother Xu, sister-in-law, happy New Year, I wish you a New Year in advance.

Well, I heard there is a gala tonight?We'll be at your house tonight. "Someone laughed after entering the door.

"I didn't bring anything here, these are freshly roasted melon seeds, and these are tea leaves given by my relatives.

Later, let's make a pot of tea and watch the party while drinking tea and eating melon seeds. "

If you are particular about it, bring your things with you. After all, people come to disturb you during the Chinese New Year, so it’s not good to be empty-handed.

"Oh, look at you, why are you being polite? We have everything at home, just come here."

Xu Chenghou saw it, and he had to be polite, and then asked Su Anying to make a pot of tea, put the kang table away, and someone came to sit on the kang, drinking tea and watching TV.

The party started not long after, and people watching TV came in an endless stream.

People who rarely come to watch TV on weekdays also came to join in the fun tonight.

In the room of the Xu family, don't worry about the kang being on the ground, it is full of people, so there is really no place to stand.

The Spring Festival Gala in [-] was changed to the gymnasium, and it was broadcast live.

For the first time, the hostess wore a suit skirt, and the male host wore a red shirt and white suit, which was refreshing.

Despite the frequent occurrence of various situations in the live broadcast, the people who watched the gala for the first time in front of the TV watched it with great interest, and were so amused by some funny programs that they leaned back and laughed together until they couldn't straighten up.

I kept seeing that it was past eleven o'clock, and the party wasn't over yet, but it was time to cook dumplings.

Most of the people were reluctant to leave, and left after every step, and some children refused to leave no matter what, they had to finish watching.

Zhou Guilan and Su Anying went to light a fire to boil the dumplings, while Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiyan went outside to set up the heaven and earth tables and offerings, served the dumplings inside, and put whips and papers outside.

If it were in previous years, before the firecrackers were set off, the children couldn't wait to watch the fireworks.

This year there was nothing like that, Xu Haiyuan and the others were all watching TV in the house, and no one came out.

If the children don't come out, those flash mines and colorful pearls bought in advance will be useless.

Xu Chenghou and his son simply put two of them away, and then carried the baskets into the house.

As soon as this end entered the house, the neighbor's daughter-in-law hurried over, grabbed her child's ears, and dragged the child away.

"I don't know when it is? Are you eating dumplings and watching TV? Why, you still want to eat at your grandpa Xu's house? Go home quickly."

The aggressive daughter-in-law scolded the child while walking.

The child was caught by the mother's ear, and while begging for mercy, the child had to watch the TV.

It wasn't until he was dragged out of the house that he reluctantly went home.

Chapter 4 Help Selling Flowers

After eating dumplings on New Year's Eve, it is a new year.

On the first day of the first lunar month, it was another day to visit relatives and friends for New Year greetings. Xu Shiyan went to the homes of Chen Jianzhang, Yu Shouguang, Lin Qiyue, Li Bingzhuo and others to pay New Year greetings.

In the afternoon, when I went home to light the fire, the phone rang suddenly. I didn't know until I picked it up that the co-author was a relatively large Clivia dealer in the provincial capital.

The other party called Xu Shiyan's house several times, but no one answered, but this time they finally got through.

The other side said that there are two merchants who want to buy Clivia, and they will come to Songjianghe tomorrow.

Indeed, in the eyes of these people, there is no such thing as celebrating the new year, making money is the most important thing.

Years pass every year, but opportunities to make money don't come often.

Xu Shiyan didn't care whether these people had room to eat or not, anyway, he just needed to help Master Qin sell Clivia.

So I made an appointment with the other party. At noon tomorrow, Xu Shiyan went to the train station to pick them up, and then took them to Master Qin's house to see Clivia.

At noon on the second day of junior high school, Xu Shiyan went with Li Zongliang and drove to the train station to pick him up.

Sure enough, I saw a few people coming out of the station, and two of them were dressed unusually, and they should be the foreign merchants that the other party said.

The others were tall and strong, so it goes without saying that they were bodyguards.

There was only one thin monkey-like man, a well-known Clivia second-hand dealer in the provincial capital, surnamed Hou, who was thin and skinny, so everyone called him Skinny Monkey.

"This way." Xu Shiyan waved at the thin monkey. "I thought you could come by car, but I didn't expect to come by train."

"Oh, who dares to drive now? The road is very chaotic.

They are all able to fly by plane, or take the train if the plane is not available. At least it is safer. "

The thin monkey shook his head. There have been several cases of road robbery on the road leading to the provincial capital.

Either Clivia was robbed, or the money to buy Clivia was robbed, now no one dares to drive by themselves, they all take public transportation.

"Let's go, I have a car here, but I can't take so many people. I guess they have to sit in the back of the car."

Xu Shiyan was too busy a year ago and had no time to learn how to drive. Now he can barely drive the car away. How dare he drive by himself?

So I called Li Zongliang and let Li Zongliang be responsible for driving.

Don't care about the car at this time, Shouhou led the two merchants in the car, and the other bodyguards sat in the back of the car.

Li Zongliang started the car and went straight to Master Qin's house following the route Xu Shiyan pointed out.

Master Qin's family lives in Baishan Street, which is the area behind the bureau building.

Xu Shiyan has been there several times, and he found the place with ease and familiarity.

Xu Shiyan told Master Qin and his wife in advance, and besides, there must be no one at home during the Chinese New Year, so Xu Shiyan and his party went directly to the hospital.

"Master Qin, I brought the person you are looking for for you." Xu Shiyan entered the door and called.

A commotion was heard in the house, Master Qin's husband, Zhao Yonggang, came out of the house.

Seeing that Xu Shiyan was leading the people, Zhao Yonggang was also relieved, and quickly welcomed them into the house.

"Master Qin, Master Zhao, these two are the big bosses who came to see Hua.

What about flowers?Move it out and let the two of you see it. "Xu Shiyan introduced it to everyone, and then asked where the flowers were.

In the past, the flower was placed on the window sill of the south window, but now the window sill is bare, and it can be seen at a glance that it is hidden.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and hug her right away." Zhao Yonggang hurried out.

After a while, I saw several people coming in with something behind them.

Behind them are his two sons and a daughter, who are holding something tightly wrapped in clothes and blankets in their arms, which is Clivia.

Many neighbors in this neighborhood know that Master Qin has Clivia in his home. These days, many people come and say they want to buy it.

Some of them really want to buy it, and some of them just want to steal it.

Master Qin was so frightened that he didn't dare to keep Clivia in his house, so he simply moved to his son and daughter's side, hiding it carefully so as not to be stolen.

The four pots of Clivia are all finished orchids that have been raised for many years. The leaves are green and tall, especially the oilman, whose leaves are oily and extraordinarily energetic.

The two merchants immediately took a fancy to it, and began to negotiate the price with Master Qin and his wife.

Master Qin didn't understand, so he asked Xu Shiyan for help.

These potted flowers are all high-quality goods, Xu Shiyan naturally can't be too low.

"Thirty-five thousand for one pot, and 13 for four pots." If this was in the provincial capital, Xu Shiyan would have to pay forty thousand for one pot.

After all, when people come over, they have to give way to some extent, and they can't make people toss in vain.

This price would scare the average person to death, but the two merchants were not surprised at all. They knew at a glance that they were all prepared.

"13 is too expensive, [-], let's take [-] directly and pay in cash."

The two merchants said nothing, but the thin monkey started to bargain.

A middleman like Shouhou, if the transaction is successful, the two merchants will have to give him a certain amount of bonus, and the locals also call it Duofenger.

If the thin monkey can help negotiate the price, the other party will also give him a bonus fee, so the thin monkey negotiates the price very hard.

But Xu Shiyan just refused to give in. Anyway, they stayed at home, and if this group of people didn't buy it, he would go back and call others.

If it doesn't work, he will go back to the provincial capital after school starts in two days, at worst, he will take the flowers back.

If you can find any flower and tree company, you can sell it at a high price, what are you afraid of?

On the contrary, these few people came all the way from the provincial capital, regardless of the cost, Songjianghe, which is so big for Chinese New Year, doesn't even have a place to eat and live.

If the business fails, they just lose money and seek guilt.

Xu Shiyan grasped this point and refused to give in no matter what. After talking and talking between the two sides, the final four potted flowers were sold for 12 yuan.

As expected, the other party came with cash. Those tall and burly bodyguards were all carrying big backpacks on their backs, which contained money.

Immediately, he poured out the money in his back pocket, and ordered 120 five bundles.

Master Qin's family's eyes were wide open. Who would have thought that four potted flowers could sell for more than [-] yuan?

When Zhao Yonggang packed the money, his hands were shaking.

The other party directly asked Zhao Yonggang for those clothes and blankets, and kept the package Clivia. Zhao Yonggang agreed without saying a word.

Just kidding, more than [-] yuan, how many clothes and blankets can't be bought?Why bother about that?

Zhao Yonggang also rummaged through two dirt baskets and asked them to put the flowers in the dirt baskets.

The surrounding area was surrounded by things, and the outside was wrapped with two layers of plastic sheets to seal the windows.

This is enough to keep warm, as long as it is not kept outside to freeze, it will be fine.

After the transaction was completed, the other party asked Xu Shiyan to take them to the train station.

For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, the hotels around the train station are still open. They have to stay near the train station for one night and return to the provincial capital by car tomorrow.

Xu Shiyan was not polite to these people, and directly asked for a fare of 200 yuan, and then asked Li Zongliang to drive and send those people to the train station.

With those two dirt baskets, too many people can't sit in the cab, and the skinny monkey has gone to the back of the car.

Xu Shiyan simply didn't follow, and waited for Li Zongliang at Qin's house.

"Xiao Xu, thank you so much, you take this little money, it is our heart."

As soon as the car drove away, Zhao Yonggang dragged Xu Shiyan into the house and insisted on giving him 5000 yuan.

4 Chapter Ten Benefits

According to the logic, the business negotiated and facilitated by the middleman should benefit the middleman.

This majority is drawn according to a certain percentage, which is the gap among the local population.

The transaction price of 12 yuan, 5000 yuan, is less than 5.00%, which is not much.
