While Zhu Guoli was happily riding the hot air balloon, there was a little boy looking at the hot air balloons in the sky with longing eyes on the street.

I was also looking at it curiously. Not to mention that although I have been in the capital, this person has been watching this person in heaven for the first time.

The middle-aged man's name is Ge Erdan, the one who took his wife Cuizhu to travel thousands of miles to look for his relatives. Cuizhu was a palace maid, and her parents and other blind dates settled in Shenyang.

The capital city and Shenyang were too far away. Even when they got married, they just sent a letter to inform them. Cuizhu's parents did not come, which became Cuizhu's lifelong regret.

The child is the first child of Cuizhu and Ge Erdan. He is eight years old this year. While the New Year holiday is off, the two of them will take their children to go shopping together.

Ge Erdan is no longer a small laborer at Huangming Leather Factory. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has always had a strong demand for leather, especially for things like cloaks, which require one to two complete leathers.

Although the scale of the factory in Beijing has not expanded in the past two years, the products produced have indeed become more and more high-end. Because Ge Erdan has been qualified as a technician for more than ten years, he is now responsible for handling high-end fur materials such as white bear skin, white fox, tiger skin, sable, sea otter, etc.

Cuizhu used to be a palace maid and had professional training for serving people. Later, she was transferred from the textile workshop to the factory management office, and later became the factory reception manager.

In order to get married, they saved money to buy a house outside the Nancheng. Later, the housing prices in the capital rose. Although the two did not make a fortune by selling their houses, they finally had a place in the capital.

The two of them now have a monthly salary of seven taels, and Cuizhu's salary is five taels. In addition to the bonus and overtime pay and other income, the two can earn about two hundred taels of silver a year, which is considered to be the middle class in the capital.

That's why they had the confidence to decide to go to the inner city of the capital to see what they could buy.

As a result, when I entered the inner city, I realized that I could buy things from a small stall such as candied haws for my child, which was less than ten taels a month. After entering the store, Cuizhu looked at a gauze scarf. It was all the fine products of Shu embroidery, and it cost more than ten taels, and the jade hairpin was even dozens or hundreds of taels.

It is not prohibited to set up stalls in the Ming Dynasty. Except for the main street, the rest of the streets can set up stalls according to designated stalls without delaying the normal passage of pedestrians and vehicles.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, there are dense crowds in Beijing, and everyone sets up stalls on almost the same street, and there is a branch in the middle.

As long as the normal passage of the main street is not delayed, the auxiliary street can be placed wherever it is. Of course, for safety, the guards will be strengthened to strengthen their vigilance and guards will also be stationed in major street intersections and roads to deal with emergencies at any time.

Looking at his son looking at the hot air balloon Ge Erdan, he squatted down: "Bajin, do you want to do that too?"

Bajin's eyes shining: "Can I sit too?"

Ge Erdan was a little uncertain: "It should...can...can...? I have to ask, let's go, let's go together."

When he ran over and asked, Ge Erdan was stunned. He had to pay ten taels of silver for one ticket, but he didn't bring a bargaining. The children also had to accompany him, and the children's tickets were also eight taels of silver.
