Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 85
"Your aunt and I can still ask for wages. Fanxing, you give [-]% of the dividends for burning green bricks to your uncle's house, and my wages for your aunt and I forget it." Xie Zhong shook his head and refused when he heard that Fanxing had returned his wages. .

"The dividend is the dividend. Isn't it a matter of course for you to work and get paid? Uncle, if you refuse again, it will be out of order.

What's more, our siblings will be the helpers for future work, and you and your aunt, aunt, and uncle will be the main force, so you should be paid for your wages. "

"Well, let's start with the wages! Since the bricks are fired with a [-]% bonus, the silver money sold after the oil is squeezed will be [-]% instead of [-]%."

"Then, just do what uncle says." Xie Fanxing likes the character of Xie Zhong, a brother who settles accounts clearly, has his own principles of doing things, and doesn't take advantage of others.

"Actually, I think so! The meticulous work of oil pressing can take Gu and the others from beginning to end. After all, we found a lot of places on the mountain, but we only found two places with tea trees. There are few such things. Well, even if they learned how to extract oil, they would have nowhere to work without the tea seeds.

As for the work of burning bricks, you can take your aunt and uncle to do the initial process of mixing mud, making brick embryos, and burning bricks, which is fine.

The most important thing in burning bricks is to seal the kiln and the kiln. As long as the kiln is in our hands, what we learned in the early stage will be nothing?
It just so happens that we can let them do these things during the day, and after we go back at night, we will seal the kiln by ourselves. After the kiln is finished, it just takes time to cool the green bricks, and the time at night is not wasted.

However, Grandma, you and my aunt and uncle also made a side note, saying that the most critical step of firing bricks is in our hands, and that the most critical step of firing bricks is that we cannot make bricks.

In case my uncle has any thoughts, I will burn the bricks by myself when the time comes, and then don't harm others or myself. "Xie Fanyang pondered for a moment before he said slowly.

"Fanyang has grown up, and he is very thoughtful about things, so let's do what Fanyang said." Xie Zhong thought for a while when he heard Fanyang's words, and felt that Fanyang thought about this matter very thoughtfully Not only do they hold the most critical part of brick-making in their hands, so that others can't learn it, but they can also ask Yunxiu and his wife to help, which is very good.

"Okay, let's just talk about it. Tomorrow, I'll ask someone to tell Yunxiu to come back and talk to her about it." Mrs. Zhang also looked at Xie Fanyang with a look of relief on her face and said.

.

"Eldest sister, why are you still awake at this late hour? What are you doing?" Fanyue asked aloud when she saw her elder sister sitting in front of the window, writing and drawing at such a late hour.

"It's less than three months, and it's almost the Chinese New Year. My eldest sister is thinking about whether our family has enough money to live a prosperous New Year, and then planning to buy something.

If you are not in charge of a family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. This is not ignorance. "Xie Fanxing rubbed the center of his brows, and said a little tiredly.

"Then sister, how much money do we still need?" Xie Fanchen asked.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, Grandma and Fanyu are both asleep." Fanyue put her index finger on her lips, signaling her elder sister and Fanchen to keep their voices down, so as not to disturb Grandma and Fanyu.

"Calculating roughly, it's five or six taels less, but if you calculate it in detail, it's more than a dozen taels less.

Roughly speaking, it is to buy things for the New Year. For example, when my sister and brother make new clothes, they have to sew new cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, shoes and so on.

There are also things like Chinese New Year fruits, smoked chicken, duck, fish and geese, and bacon.Of course, the bulk of the money is spent on sheep with milk.

Now the dairy goat in our family will pass the milking period in a short time, and the little boy can only be weaned after drinking until he is one year old, so buying a milk-producing dairy goat is also on the agenda.

If our family buys two ewes, we have to buy another ram so that they can give birth. In the future, we will herd the sheep by ourselves. After raising them, we can slaughter them to eat mutton. We can use mutton hot pot, or we can sell the sheep directly. .

If we count carefully, we should prepare more than a dozen taels of silver as start-up capital to pay Uncle and the others.

After all, we don't know what the situation is when we burn bricks and sell bricks. If the sale is good, it's useless to reserve the money. "Xie Fanxing explained.

"Sister, I'll hurry up these days. I'll embroider another pair of embroidery and sell it for money. I'll be able to embroider it a year ago."

"Second sister, I'm afraid you don't have time to embroider. We need you to sew our new clothes for the New Year, so there is no time to embroider. Elder sister, I have brought a lot of medicinal materials from the mountains these days. Although there are not many species, there are many varieties!
Why don't you come with me to the pharmacy in the town, we'll sell all these medicinal materials, and at least we can exchange them for some money. "Xie Fanchen's heart moved slightly, she thought of the seven or eight taels of money that Fanri made by looking at people before.

At that time, how much money he got from selling medicinal materials is not up to him to decide. At that time, what money Fan Ri earned can just be used to talk about the money he earned from selling medicinal materials, and he will take it out in an open and honest manner.

"Okay, I'll ask Fanyang to go to town with you tomorrow." Xie Fanxing knows that his younger siblings are capable, Fanchen is good at medicine, and if he wants to make money, it's not just a matter of hand.

Fanri is even more powerful, he knows how to read and tell fortunes, making money is just a matter of lip service, and the money comes quickly, so it is better to let them go out to make money if they are kept at home.

Wouldn't it be nice to sit at home and wait to collect money?
"Sister, won't you come to town with me tomorrow? Do you have something to do tomorrow?"

"Now there are plenty of things to eat in the mountains, if you don't get them back, if you delay, you will either be taken back by the village chiefs or you will miss this season.

Elder sister Ming'er will go up the mountain to get some delicious food, and won't go to the town. "Xie Fanxing explained.

"Sister, at this time of year, is there anything good to eat in the mountains?" Speaking of food, Fanyue immediately became excited, and she sat up straight and asked without thinking about sleeping.

"Sister, when you talked about food, my little boy started spitting bubbles, and he also got greedy." Fanchen saw Fanyun's wet eyes staring at him, and he spit out a small bubble between breaths, It hit her heart right away, and Fanchen teased Xiaoguai a few times, which made Xiaoguai giggle.

"Nowadays there are many things to eat in the mountains? For example: August fruits, chicken dates, chestnuts, stone persimmons, hawthorns, vine pears and other apples, pears, etc. are delicious." Xie Fanxing teased this little girl, while she carefully Count the wild fruits that can be eaten in this season.

Autumn is not the harvest season, and all the delicious and fun things are in the mountains.

"Sister, I won't be going to town tomorrow. I'll go up the mountain with you to get some delicious food, and we'll go to town the next day." When Xie Fanchen heard about these edible things, she not only thought they were good Eat, and it's even more fun.

It's not good to go to the town anymore, it's more fun to go to the mountains.

"Okay, let's go to the mountain together tomorrow. It's getting late, let's go to bed early, and get up early to go up the mountain tomorrow." Xie Fanxing blew out the oil lamp, covered the quilt and continued to whisper to Fanyue and Fanchen .

This feeling made Xie Fanxing very comfortable, at ease and heartwarming.

The sisters hid under the covers, talking quietly and thoughtfully, these are the sisters and family members.
