Xie Wanxing confirmed with satisfaction that the space could be restocked, and surprisingly notified his parents of the good news in time. He then took a few candies from the cabinet, removed the outer packaging, and planned to take them out to appease his nervous brother.
"Brother, here's some candy for you." Xie Wanxing climbed onto the kang and opened his palm to the dazed Xie Heng. In his palm was a White Rabbit milk candy.
"Hey, where did you get this candy?" Xie Heng was shocked.
He had only heard of sugar but never eaten it since he was a child. He only knew that sugar was expensive, and this sugar was white and fragrant, and looked even more expensive. Their family could hardly even afford to eat, but his sister could still have sugar to eat.
"Dad gave it to me." Xie Wanxing extended his hand forward again, "Eat it quickly. Dad has really changed. Mom and Dad will both make money. From now on, we'll have candy every day."
"Sister, you eat it yourself." Although he said that, his eyes were fixed on the candy.
Dad has really changed. He will buy them candies every day from now on. Xie Heng was so moved that he almost cried when he thought about it. Seeing his pout, Xie Wanxing knew he was about to cry. She immediately interrupted the spell, pinched both sides of his face from the chin with one hand, and quickly stuffed the candy into his mouth with the other hand.
"Stop talking nonsense and just eat."
As soon as the White Rabbit Milk Candy entered his mouth, Xie Heng was amazed. It was really fragrant and sweet, a hundred times more delicious than he had imagined.
He looked calm on the surface, but he was licking the candy frantically. How could there be such delicious food in the world?
"Thank you, sister." Xie Heng was very touched, but then he asked embarrassedly, "You gave me the candy, so what do you eat?"
"Don't worry about that. Dad bought some candies." Xie Wanxing took Xie Heng's hand, stuffed a few more candies into his hand, and then turned over and lay down. "I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't think about putting the candies away. Eat them quickly. It's so hot that you can't keep them. They will melt soon."
Xie Heng was surprised again. Being able to eat a candy was already a surprise to him, but his sister stuffed four more candies into his hand. His father must not have bought many of such expensive candies, but his sister gave most of them to him. Xie Heng was so moved holding the candies. He looked at his sister's little body lying on her side and carefully covered her arm with the quilt.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would work hard to make money in the future, be nice to his sister, and buy her lots of such sweet candies.
……
On the other side, the two people who had received the good news about their daughter came out after drinking a few sips of ice drinks to quench their thirst. They happened to meet someone from this yard coming out of the house. Xie Songlin took Cheng Hui out of the alley while saying that they had taken the wrong way.
When he came out of the alley, he noticed that his third brother Xie Songmu had followed him again, but his tracking skills were so poor that it was difficult for the two modern people with keen observation skills to fail to notice him.
Xie Songlin decided to go to the pharmacy to buy some materials to cover it up. After all, Xie Songmu was following him. If he bought the materials and went out to do business tomorrow, he would have an explanation for the source.
Xie Songlin changed three ingredients according to the recipe given by his daughter to conceal his tracks. If the sour plum soup business becomes popular in the future, someone will inevitably find out that he bought it from a pharmacy and follow the clues to find out the recipe to steal the business.
When he came out of the pharmacy, he only had a few copper coins left. There happened to be a bun stall next to him, selling big meat buns for four cents each. He bought one for himself and one for Cheng Hui. After spending all the money, the two of them ate while walking towards the largest pier in the town.
The largest pier in the town is called Qinglong Wharf. It is a combination of several piers, so it is particularly large. It is the most lively place besides the main street.
Every day, there are endless merchant ships coming and going, one after another docking at the pier. The huge number of merchant ships brings countless goods, and the amount of goods that need to be loaded and unloaded every day is astonishing, which requires a large number of porters. There are many people from the town and nearby villages who come here to sell their labor to make money, and those small vendors with a keen sense of smell naturally smell the huge business opportunities contained therein, so there are also many people selling food here.
There is a large corridor pavilion near the pier. The pavilion is a place for visitors to rest while waiting at the pier. The corridor is very long, and there are many small stalls on both sides, some selling wontons and noodles, some selling buns and steamed buns, and some selling small items purchased from merchant ships.
Xie Songlin walked from beginning to end, stopping from time to time to carefully look at several stalls and get a rough idea of the prices. He set up a stall near the dock. His biggest customers were the laborers who moved things around at the dock. They consumed a lot of physical energy every day, and those who came to sell their labor were all from poor families.
So, first of all, the price must not be too expensive. If it is too expensive, they will definitely not be willing to buy it.
Secondly, the food must be plentiful and filling. After all, for them, filling their stomachs is the most important thing. As for whether it tastes good, that's probably the last thing they consider.
Xie Songlin also found a tea stall, but there was only one. The stall took up a large area, but the cheapest tea cost ten cents a pot, which was indeed a bit expensive. Of course, the main customers of this tea stall were not the hard-working laborers at the docks. They mainly entertained the merchants who came and went, and provided a place for them to drink tea and chat.
After observing for a while, Xie Songlin felt that his daughter's idea was really great. Moreover, now that they had discovered the replenishment function of the space, they were doing business at almost zero cost, and the price could be pushed down to an extremely low level. If they could add some ice cubes to the sour plum soup, it would be cool and thirst-quenching after one sip, which would be a great way to beat the summer heat. Business in a place like the dock would definitely be bad.
Moreover, ice-making technology was not well developed in ancient times, and ordinary people could not enjoy ice at will. They could add ice every day, and doing business in this hot summer season was a huge bargain.
The more Xie Songlin thought about it, the happier he became, feeling that immense wealth was already beckoning him. He was so happy that he wanted to go home and get ready, but Cheng Hui suddenly grabbed him and asked him to go somewhere.
After listening to this, Xie Songlin nodded with a heavy face and took Cheng Hui to a blacksmith shop on the main street.
They stopped near a larger blacksmith shop and tried to look inside. In order to avoid looking too clearly, they pretended to ask for prices at a headwear stall.
Because she had the memory of her two sons' appearance in her mind, and the two young boys stood out among the group of adult blacksmiths, Cheng Hui quickly found them.
Inside the blacksmith shop, Xie Lan was pulling the bellows with all his might, while Xie Lin was beside him, struggling to carry a heavy block of iron. The block of iron seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing him so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
The temperature in the blacksmith shop was extremely high, and it was the middle of summer. Sweat dripped down their faces like rain, and their hands were often burned by flying sparks, leaving red and swollen marks. However, they dared not slack off at all, because if they were lazy, they would be scolded and whipped by the blacksmith.
Perhaps influenced by her original body's memories, Cheng Hui burst into tears when she saw her two sons suffering. She was so heartbroken that she didn't dare to watch any longer. She pulled Xie Songlin and hurried home.
"Let's go back and talk to Ah Xing. We can pick out some inconspicuous gold jewelry and pawn them to buy the two children back quickly. Since they are here, and God has arranged for me to be their mother, I should be responsible for them. I can't wait that long to do business and save money. Every day I wait means the children will suffer a day more. They are so young." Cheng Hui wiped her tears as she walked, and she was already calculating in her mind which piece of jewelry was simpler and would not look so abrupt when taken out in this ancient time.
