Hearing Lu Chengjie's address, Xie Anlan was startled, and then smiled, "That Wuwen."

"Okay." Lu Chengke turned his head away and chatted with other people.

There were quite a few quick-minded people in the crowd. Seeing that Xie Anlan and the others were only selling some common items, some of them were used, some people asked about the price, could they also sell their items?

Most of the people who can live in the city have a certain skill, or are small traders themselves. Because of the war, every household is locked up, making it impossible for them to make a living.

Now when they see someone taking the lead, these people can't stop their thoughts, they go back and move things out quickly, and learn to sell according to the gourd painting.

If there is one, there will be two. When other people see that their acquaintances have come out to set up stalls, they think that they have a lot of inventory at home. Instead of rotting at home, they might as well take it out to earn two copper coins.

Soon the alley chosen by Xie Anlan had more than a dozen stalls set up one after another.

It was so noisy that it attracted the residents of other streets.

Since his wife went to work in the workshop, He Shuangquan has been running the housework at home without complaint.

In the past, my wife did all the laundry, cooking and taking care of the children, so I didn't think it was so difficult.

But when he finished working for a few days, he suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. He obviously didn't do much, but he had to turn around like a spinning top all day long, without a break.

It's more tiring than him going out to set up a stall.

Thinking of what he said when he got angry outside and couldn't hold back his bickering with his wife when he came back, he suddenly felt guilty.

I also thought that it was not easy for my wife to get up early and greedily earn money, and my heart felt distressed and conflicted.

Originally, he was supposed to do the money-making work, but now it's all handed over to his wife. It's okay for a short time, but the neighbors in the neighborhood will gossip after a long time.

It's fine to gossip, the key is that he has passed that hurdle in his heart.

But in the current situation, where can he go for a living?

While thinking, he heard a loud noise coming from outside the door. He hadn't heard this kind of noise for a long time. He was curious, put down the clothes he was washing, opened the door and went out to have a look.

It was only then that they discovered that there were many stalls set up at the alleys of their street, and the neighbors around them were picking and choosing from these stalls, and there were still many attracted people rushing here from afar.

He Shuangquan slapped his thigh, stopped washing his clothes, and found out all the people he ate from the house.

Sitting on the kang and playing with himself, He Sang saw that his father had turned the house upside down just now, so he couldn't help asking, "Daddy, what are you looking for?"

"Looking for someone to eat, Daddy will take you there to earn money." He Shuangquan was in a good mood, and after a while, he found his pile of things, and carried his son to the alley.

He Sang saw a large group of people at the entrance of the alley, his small eyes were wide open.

He Shuangquan found an empty place, put down the child, and laid out his wood one by one.

He is a woodcarver. In the past when Yicheng was prosperous, he set up a stall near the gate of the city, specializing in making puppets for people. Although he didn't earn much money in a day, it was still no problem to support his family.

But when the war broke out, the common people couldn't afford to eat, and whoever was in the mood to carve this inedible doll, his business declined day by day until there was nothing.

At first, the family had enough money to support it, but now the money is almost spent, and the food in the city skyrocketed, so I could only watch helplessly as my wife supported the family.

He couldn't help but want to share.

Now there is someone setting up a stall in front of his house, and he doesn't care if his woodcarvings can be sold, he seizes the opportunity to talk first.

Xie Anlan and the others were busy for a while, and all the things they brought were sold out. In the end, there were some odds and ends left, and they were packaged and sold to an aunt.

Quickly picking up the burden cloth on the ground, Xie Anlan asked Lu Chengjiao, "Fulang, count how much money we earned today."

Lu Chengjie poured out copper coins from his purse to count, pursed his lips and said, "Twenty coins."

"So few?" Xie Anlan felt that there were quite a lot of people around here just now, and the two of them have been busy for a long time, so it's impossible for them to be so small.

Lu Chengjie smiled and didn't explain, more people who asked asked bought less, plus there were few things, and Xie Anlan liked to buy half and give half away, so it's no wonder he can earn a lot of money.

Fortunately, Xie Anlan wasn't bothered, packed up the burden cloth, and took Lu Chengjiao for a stroll in this extremely simple market.

I found that there are many people, even if there are few people who buy things, I also understand that they are ordinary people, and there are very few who can spend money, most of them are here to join in the fun.

"Would you like to carve a wood carving, the two celestial brothers?"

Walking around, the two of them came to an empty booth. There was a thin little boy, dressed in clothes that didn't fit adults, talking to them timidly.

"Xiao Sang." He Shuangquan saw that He Sang stopped the two people, rubbed his son's head, and looked at them apologetically.

Looking at the clothes of the two of them, he didn't seem like someone who could appreciate his woodcarving skills, but his son was also out of good intentions, so he couldn't blame him.

Xie Anlan took a look at some dolls, animals and other wood carvings in front of his stall, and found that the carvings were quite vivid, and asked, "How much?"

"Ten pennies is enough." He Shuangquan always seemed a bit embarrassed when facing the noble young man in front of him for some reason.

Xie Anlan nodded, the price is not expensive, and asked Lu Chengjiao, "Do you like it? Why don't we engrave a pair too?"

Lu Chengjie nodded slightly, his eyelashes trembling. In the Yong Dynasty, newlyweds had the custom of carving puppets, which meant that a married couple is made in nature and will be together for a hundred years.

Xie Anlan readily paid out the twenty Wen he earned just now, "Carve it hard, don't shake your hands."

He Shuangquan didn't expect that the two aristocrats really took a fancy to his craftsmanship, happily accepted the money, and said repeatedly, "Don't worry, you two, you don't need money if you don't engrave well."

Xie Anlan smiled, and stood side by side with Lu Chengke, waiting for him to pick up the wood for carving.

He Shuangquan's speed was very fast, perhaps because practice makes perfect, and in less than half an hour, he handed over the puppets that were carved with nine-point images of the two of them to Xie Anlan, "The guests are satisfied with it."

"Not bad." Xie Anlan took it and looked at it carefully. Except for the subtle expression on the face, the appearance is almost not bad, and she is satisfied.

"It's good if you're satisfied." He Shuangquan smiled brightly when he saw Qian Qian kicking steadily.

"Let's go." After shopping, Xie Anlan took Lu Cheng's boat, and the other party stopped his child and said hello.

He Sang smiled at them and said gratefully, "Thank you two brothers."

Xie Anlan shook her head, pulled Lu Chengcheng and left.

On the way back, Lu Chengjie held two puppets and couldn't put them down all the way. Xie Anlan looked at his empty hands and suddenly regretted why he bought a pair.

Since Xie Anlan and the others went to set up a stall that day, some shops in the city have started to open one after another. Although the business is not very good, at least it has made the city lively.

Xie Anlan, who had nothing to do all day long, became more interested and took Lu Chengjia to go shopping.

Just when Lu Chuyi led the mighty caravan to Yicheng, as soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Xie Anlan and his young master squatting on the side of the road, devouring sesame seed cakes.

Tears fell on the spot.

The prince is so poor that he brought his young master to eat by the side of the road.

"First grade."

After Xie Anlan ate a sesame seed cake and wiped the corners of his lips, he saw Lu Chuyi who was sitting in a carriage and was crying towards them, and waved to him.

Lu Chuyi quickly wiped away his tears, got out of the carriage and walked over to greet him, "My lord, young master."

Xie Anlan waved his hand, and handed the oiled paper in his hand to Lu Chuyi, "Your young master specially saved it for you, eat it while it's hot."

Holding the biscuits in his hand, Lu Chuyi whispered, "My lord, are you short of money?"

"Yes, very short." Xie Anlan replied without thinking, but soon saw Lu Chuyi's weird eyes, reacted, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking, I didn't treat your young master badly, yes It’s because of the biscuits.”

"Really?" Lu Chuyi lowered his head in doubt, and took a bite of the still warm biscuits.

His eyes lit up immediately, he lowered his head and gulped a few more mouthfuls.

Why are biscuits so delicious!

Seeing that Lu Chuyi was eating more anxiously than him, Lu Chengjie silently shifted his seat, trying to pretend that he didn't know him.

But obviously Lu Chuyi didn't have this kind of awareness, so he went to Lu Chengke's side, and asked while eating without image, "Which shop in the city made this biscuit, can the recipe be sold?"

Such delicious biscuits are not sold in the imperial capital. If you buy the recipe and open a biscuit shop in the imperial capital, the business will definitely be booming.

Lu Chengjie looked up at Xie Anlan, and said with a smile, "You should ask His Highness about this."

"Could it be that the prince made these biscuits?" Lu Chuyi asked suspiciously.

Xie Anlan nodded, these days he took Lu Lucheng to go out, and he didn't go out in vain.

I found a lot of seasonings in the spice shop and pharmacy. I bought it and made a simple thirteen spices. With the scallop powder in between, I asked the servants to make this sesame seed cake. The taste is self-evident.

Lu Chuyi smiled and narrowed his eyes. Doesn't that mean that he will be able to eat such delicious biscuits every day in the future?

No wonder their young master is willing to squat on the side of the road with the prince throughout the winter, and he really complied with that sentence, if you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab a man's stomach.

Take a look at their young master, he broke the rule of killing him and not going out in winter just because of a biscuit.

Xie Anlan's attention was not on the biscuits, but on the caravan led by Lu Chuyi, dazed.

There have been more than 100 carriages in the past, why is it still not finished?

How big is this family?

Whenever Xie Anlan thought that he was about to touch Lu Chengke's wealth, Lu Chengke told him with his strength that it was just a little finger on his worth.

"Only the ten carriages in front belong to me, and the ones behind belong to other families." Seeing Xie Anlan froze, Lu Chengjie took the initiative to explain to him.

"Everything in Yicheng is waiting for prosperity. I can't afford such a big city by myself. I asked Chuyi to contact other aristocratic families to see if anyone is willing to come and test the water."

"Needless to say, they were willing on the spot. The people in the imperial capital have seen the power of gunpowder. This time, General Huo relied on gunpowder to repel the invincible grassland army. These people are like cats who smell fishy." Same thing, I didn't waste my time, and they all followed." Lu Chuyi said as he swallowed the last mouthful of biscuits.

Xie Anlan was relieved a little, and it seemed that he could catch up with Lu Chengjiao.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a black gauze cap and a green official robe, holding on to the official cap all the way, and trotting up to Xie Anlan to pay respects, "The next official, Feng Shuchong, pays homage to His Highness Prince Chen."
