I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

Wei Miao was not good at dealing with social interactions, so he changed the subject and asked about Xu Ayu's favorite things.

Sure enough, when talking about this, Xu Ayu's eyes lit up.

She took out money in stacks from her purse.

Most of them were in cents, there were a few for one dollar, and even one for ten dollars. Wei Miao took a quick look and saw that it was about twenty dollars.

"Mom, there's so much money." She was really surprised.

Xu Ayu's face flushed, and he lowered his voice and said:

"I'm lucky. I got two rewards from the masters."

Wei Miao's mind was working quickly. Excluding the money spent on buying vegetables and ingredients, at least half of the money would be profit.

Although it is hard work, the income is considerable, and it may not be a bad way out.

Wei Miao now has twenty-six large yellow croakers and nine small yellow croakers in his hands, which is indeed a huge fortune.

But she didn't take it out, nor did she tell Xu Ayu and Wei Ada.

It is not difficult to use the money she earns to make them live a good life, but it is too easy for people to lose their original intentions after getting a large amount of money rashly and easily.

She had no control over the events that happened, and if it ruined the fate of her family, she was afraid that she would become mentally ill.

This goes against her original intention of practicing Taoism.

She had thought it through from the beginning. In such troubled times, she only needed to protect the lives of her family, keep them safe and healthy, and let everything else take its course.

Xu Ayu looked at Wei Miao writing down the numbers in her small account book, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"Ah Miao, I heard that the port is very busy with cargo ships and passenger ships coming and going before the New Year. Ama plans to sell them at the dock. It is estimated that the income can double."

Although she couldn't understand the accounts, she carefully kept them and told Wei Miao about her next plan.

Wei Miao didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, and said enthusiastically:

"Then when you go, take me with you, I haven't been to the pier for a long time."

Xu Ayu knew that her daughter was worried about her and was afraid that she would be bullied at the dock, so she told her daughter to go to bed early and left happily.

Looking at Xu Ayu's leaving back, Wei Miao realized that his cultivation, which had not been active for a long time, began to undergo very subtle changes.

I became more certain of the "path" that I had planned.

Wealth is part of it, but spiritual heart is also indispensable.

The most important thing is that they are a family that is quite greedy for money, and it is their nature to only take in and not spend out!

Two days later, although the temperature was low, there was plenty of sunshine.

Wei Miao, who had been digging the ground all night, struggled to get up, waking up Ali who was under his feet, and gave it an apologetic look.

She endured the cold and put on her autumn clothes, sweater, cotton jacket and coat before she opened the door.

I opened the door, the east was slightly bright and the air was chilly. The aroma of braised meat in the air dispelled some of the coldness.

"Look at the big pot." Wei Ping handed the frosted leaves in her hand to Wei Miao as a treasure.

Wei Miao looked at her little hands that were red from the cold, took them and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Ayu was busy with Wei Ling. Wei Miao rubbed the little girl's hands and put them in the stove to roast.

The little girl thought her brother was playing a game with her and giggled happily.

Wei Ling yawned and skillfully put the marinated meat sauce into the bucket, "Mom, I'll go with you today."

Ever since the last incident at the vegetable market, Wei Li has been reluctant to go out and just washes vegetables quietly by the side.

Wei Ada said: "I will go with you today."

Xu Ayu heard him cough a few times and quickly spat at him, "Before this winter, you should stay at home and take good care of yourself."

Although Wei Ada was scolded, he looked happy and felt that the relationship between him and the old woman had eased.

After a busy period, Wei Miao, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, followed Xu Ayu carrying a basket of coal briquettes.

Wei Ran and Wei Ling both stood at the door, craning their necks to look out.

Xu Ayu, who was carrying a load on his shoulder, turned around and attacked him, and was so frightened that he immediately shrank back into the yard.

It was just dawn, the winter was freezing cold, and the alley was not as lively as it usually was in the early morning.

As soon as the mother and daughter reached the intersection, they saw Wu Ziyang and Miss Li getting off the rickshaw one after another.

Miss Li's cheeks were burning hot. She had not returned home all night and was caught by the landlord early in the morning. It was really embarrassing.

Wu Ziyang was wearing a black windbreaker and a white scarf with red flowers around his neck, looking as suave as ever.

Wei Miao's eyes lingered on his scarf for a moment. Wu Ziyang noticed her gaze and asked with a smile:

"Little bean, what are you looking at?"

Wei Miao smiled and said, "I just feel that little Angkor Wu is becoming more and more cool and carefree."

After Wu Ziyang heard this, he looked at Li Xiaoya next to him with his affectionate peach blossom eyes and said happily:

"When you grow up and meet the person you love, it will be the same."

Li Xiaoya immediately lowered her head, her cheeks blushing, looking very charming.

"Aunt Ayu, Xiaoya and I haven't had breakfast yet. Do you have any braised beef? I'd like one piece and two pancakes."

Xu Ayu smiled and said, "Patrolman Xiao Wu, I'll prepare it for you to eat. It's free."

She put down her burden, cut the beef deftly, packed some braised dishes, and after filling the brown paper package, handed it to Wu Ziyang.

Wu Ziyang carried the things, stuffed a five-dollar French coin into Wei Miao's small cloth bag, and walked home holding Li Xiaoya's hand.

After the people walked away, Xu Ayu let out a long sigh, then continued walking with his load on his shoulder.

On the dock.

Xu Ayu and Wei Miao found a remote place. She looked around the stalls and said regretfully:

"No matter how hard we try, we still come out too late. There are no good spots left."

She had sold dried tofu at the dock before and knew all the ins and outs of it.

Wei Miao deeply agreed that for a place like this, only a good location can bring good business.

Lu Pingsheng often said: Do you want to hear my philosophy of life? That is to strike first.

It's a pity that she is not Lu Pingsheng.

"Mom, it's okay. The smell of meat is not afraid of being hidden in the alley. If we cook it, it will be sold out in no time."

Things turned out just as Wei Miao said. After the coal fire was lit, the smell of the braised meat dissipated everywhere.

Xu A Yu only charged 8 cents for a portion of braised food and a large pancake made of mixed noodles, and cents for two slices of beef.

In a short while, the whole bucket was sold out.

There are many coolies at the dock, most of them are in tattered clothes, and they stretch their necks waiting for the ships to arrive.

Only by having goods to move can the whole family get through the winter.

Xu Ayu was busy until the ship arrived at the port, then he stopped.

Wei Miao handed her a towel to wipe her sweat, and whispered in her ear:

"Ah Ma, I made three dollars this morning, plus the five dollars from Little Wu, so my income is eight dollars now."

Xu Ayu couldn't help but smile when she heard this. In the past, she would walk around the streets for most of the day and only earned one silver dollar at most.

Now, in just a short time at the dock, the amount has increased three times compared to the past, plus there is still one bucket that has not been sold. Xu Ayu feels that good days seem to be beckoning to him.

I thought that after closing the stall and going home, I would make an appointment with Sister Xiu and Grandma Cui to go to the Pukou vegetable market to buy some food in preparation for the winter.

She placed her red hands on the stove to warm them up, and leaned close to Wei Miao's ear, "Keep your voice down, don't say this outside."
