Why are you so stupid? Matches! The cost is small and the profit is high. Moreover, this year is still a patented product. The world's first match factory will not be born until two hundred years later. The little girl selling matches will not be born until three hundred years later.

freeze to death.

The most important thing is that this thing is a daily necessities for the household, and it is also a consumable product. This almost meets all the conditions in Li Xiao's mind! With such a convenient and quick way to make fire, who the hell would use such a laborious thing as a fire folder?

I am so excited that I can't sleep, but I still have to suppress my excitement. I have to discuss with Ao Canghai tomorrow about where to get these raw materials. After all, Li Xiao has not been in Liaoyang City for a long time, and he is far less familiar with it than Ao Canghai.

It's better to look for it yourself first, and if you can't find it, ask Lao Ao.

After finally staying up until dawn, Li Xiao got up early and started exercising. He drew a basin of steaming well water and plunged his face into the wooden basin. He immediately felt a pain like needles pricking his entire face, and every pore was there.

The pain is there! Lift his face from the tub, blow out a stream of white air into the air, and then quickly wipe the water on his face. Li Xiao doesn't want to catch a cold at this time. In this era of extremely underdeveloped medicine, talking about colds

Li Xiao, a mortal man, doesn't find it strange at all.

The fatigue of not sleeping all night was completely dispelled by the cold well water. Li Xiao walked into the house in high spirits, and the second child, Li Xiu, was already getting dressed.

After pouring a bowl of water on Li Hu's face, the guy jumped up in excitement. Then he started to mutter about getting dressed. Li Xiao took Li Xiu and Li Hu out for a run. The fourth brother, Li Hao, stayed at home and gave

Xiaoyu keeps company. After all, Li Hao is only a six-year-old child. He is still in the category of preschoolers.

We ran around the inn and bought a lot of hot porridge and steamed buns. The brothers returned to the inn, and Li Hao and Xiaoyu were still curled up in the bed like cats.

After waking up the two lazy cats, Li Xiao started to eat breakfast.

"Third brother, come with me to the street in a moment." Li Xiao said to Li Hu while eating.

"Okay!" Li Hu agreed excitedly when he heard that he was going shopping.

"Xiaoyu wants to go out on the streets too!" Xiaoyu pulled Li Xiao's sleeves and tried hard to raise her little head. Those big cute eyes were full of hope. Li Xiao took courage eight times, but he still couldn't say no.

words.

"Brother! I want to go too. You have taken the second and third brothers out. I have never gone out to play!" Li Hao, the fourth child, stood on the other side with a look of aggrievedness.

There's nothing we can do about it. Anyone who doesn't take care of him will be heartbroken. He thinks his brother doesn't care for him, and children who have lost their parents are very sensitive.

"Go all, go all! Second child, third child, each of you will take one. There are a lot of money out there, and even the children of the manager's family were almost kidnapped. You have to keep a close eye on them!"

"I know, brother!" Li Xiu, the second oldest brother, was still so obedient.

After breakfast, Li Hao and Xiaoyu, who looked like tabby cats, washed up. The five brothers and sisters went out to the street!

Li Xiao plans to look for the raw materials himself first, and if he can't find them, ask Ao Canghai. After all, there are interests involved. Li Xiao doesn't want to make things difficult in the future!

After asking the waiter about the location of the market, the brothers and sisters went straight to the market.

The market is different from the mule and horse market, but a spontaneous market among the people. There is a big market every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. People from all over the country come here if they want to exchange something for money. Or if they want to buy something.

Go to the market.

It just so happens that today is the 15th day of the month, and there are a lot of people coming to the market.

Li Xiao walked at the end, Li Hu led Li Hao, and Li Xiu led Xiaoyu. The five of them were wandering around in the market!

Not to mention, the market is really lively. There are stalls connected to each other on both sides of the road. Many people spread a piece of cloth on the ground and put their own products, maybe a basket of eggs, maybe a basket of apples, or even

There are also people selling kittens and puppies. Could it be said that there are people selling pets in these days?

The market is not limited to the main road. There are also many people on the side roads who come late and do not get a seat.

The narrow gravel road was crowded with various stalls, and the street was crowded with people bargaining. As soon as Li Xiao stood up from a stall selling urala grass, a terrible scream shook the cold air, covering everything

Noise and chaos.

Instinctively looking for reputation, Li Xiao saw a humble-looking yellow-toothed vendor squatting on the ground in a dirty black robe at a stall at the corner of the street. There were a bunch of cheap jewelry around him, standing on a wooden shelf next to him.

There was a poor orange-crested cockatoo, as big as a crow, tied by one leg, being played with by a group of ragged children.

The vendor encouraged the children to poke him with a split stick, so that the poor little thing's screams would attract other potential customers. The children giggled, and the parrot, which was going crazy, gnawed at the stick with its hooked black beak.

The stick was shaking its orange crown like an Indian battle flag, and it was actually cursing people with human words.

"You fucking little bastard!" The words that came out of the bird's mouth were actually in a pure Beijing accent, and the words were perfectly spoken. Li Xiao was shocked. He had heard that parrots could talk, but he didn't expect them to be so eloquent.

of.

The parrot is obviously sad. Its reddish-brown eyes are bulging with fear and humiliation. Its sharp beak is dry and cracked. Its white feathers are dirty and messy. Pink bald spots stain its chest and thighs. Li Xiao can see the chains on its legs.

It was tied very tightly. Even so, it was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to leave.

Xiaoyu broke free from Li Xiu's hand and ran over as fast as she could. She reached out and grabbed the stick in the child's hand, shouting "Don't touch it!"

How could the four-year-old Xiaoyu snatch it away? The child just pushed Xiaoyu and sat on her back. But Xiaoyu still got up unwillingly and wanted to take away the hateful stick. The child rushed up and gave Xiaoyu a stick.

hand.

The slap was in the air, and blood was already flowing from his nose.

"Fuck you, you dare to touch my sister. Fuck you to death!" Li Hu rushed over like a madman and grabbed the child who was half a head taller than him. A punch made the child's pupils grow from small to large!

"Fuck, hit my brother." Just as the older kid next to him was about to hit him, his face twisted. Li Xiu's fist had already landed on his cheek.

After Li Xiao defeated three guys who were as tall as him, there was no one left standing on the other side.

Xiaoyu had already hugged the parrot in her arms and looked at Li Xiao with tears in her eyes. It was over now, and the furious Li Hu kicked the man lying on the ground again.

"Brother! Save it, it's so pitiful. Xiaoyu will eat less in the future, okay, brother...!" The tears swirling in his eyes were pouring down like a dam bursting.

Li Xiao seemed to hear his heart crack into two halves with a "Gaba" sound.

"Boss! How much does your parrot cost?" Li Xiao only hoped that this wretched guy in a black robe would not have as dark a heart as his clothes. Because he really couldn't say no!

PS: From now on, I will try my best to write as few drunken chapters as possible. They are completely replicas of the books. I vomit after eating. After coding this chapter, I really want to take out my stomach and wash it. There was no update yesterday.
Chapter completed!
