The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 127 The exam is coming soon

"How much did you say?" Shi suddenly sat up straight.

Her waist was no longer sore and her legs didn't hurt anymore. She held Fang Qingqing's little hand tightly and asked nervously, "Third daughter-in-law, how much do you think we earned today?"

"It's only five or six hundred Wen at most."

"You mean roughly how much you can earn a month?"

"If you can earn five or six hundred taels a day, and if you can keep doing business like this, you can probably earn sixteen or seven or eight taels a month."

Shi didn't have a direct impression of how much silver taels she had, and she didn't have many opportunities to use silver taels on weekdays.

But Da Mao was at the side to help her out:
"Grandma, 18 taels of silver is equal to [-] wen. If you put them all in a bag, it would be a big bag."

A flower bloomed on Shi Shi's face.

How much is [-] Wen, she probably won't be able to count it in this life.

But I also know that there are many, many, according to the calculation of the third daughter-in-law, the income of one day of owning a shop is as much as that of the previous two days.

What is labor? The eldest, second, younger sister, and those few children, anyway, the people of Lao Li's family are all around at will.

If it's not enough, the old man can help.

Thinking about it this way, Shi Shi felt that her energy was restored, and only with money in her pocket can she stand upright.

Anyway, the cost of buying a shop can be earned back quickly, and then I can save money for the children.

Shi Shi was very happy and mercifully handed over ten Wen to Li Dalang to buy meat, so that he could eat some good food for the children tomorrow.

Da Mao and Er Mao looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing.

The milk has changed, and she is no longer the one who loves them.

Don’t think they don’t know that ten cents is not enough to buy meat. Ten cents can only buy some fatty meat for oil refining.

But okay, a bit of oily water is better than pure food, right?

Ever since the third uncle spent all the family money to buy a shop, grandma became ruthless and refused to let them eat meat.

Eating vegetables every day, several children have already eaten, their eyes are green;

Hey, this person, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Da Mao has forgotten, let alone eating vegetables before, steamed buns are not made of white flour, but are mixed with a lot of miscellaneous grains.

After the official opening of Li's noodle shop, everyone's jobs have been fixed, and old man Li is still a carpenter.

In addition, he and Li Dalang mainly take care of the fields at home, and when they are busy, other people also need to go back and work in the fields together.

Li's sister-in-law, Li's second sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law were in charge of the kitchen, while Li Erlang led a few children to entertain guests, serve dishes, and clean up the dishes.

At present, apart from Li Sanlang, it should be said that Fang Qingqing is the one who can read and count the most.

So she was responsible for collecting money and keeping accounts, but Fang Qingqing took Li Xiaomei with her directly, even though she didn't know many words, she taught arithmetic and other things first.

Little by little, as long as I have this heart, I will definitely make myself better and better gradually.

Shi Shi watched from the side, apparently silent, but in fact he was sighing inwardly.

There are also three sister-in-laws, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are worried that she is partial to the third child and gave the third child all the good things at home.

I also feel that when the younger sister gets married, she will find ways to subsidize her dowry.

After all, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law have been in the house for many years, and they know the mother-in-law's knot, and know that because the eldest sister has not married well, it has been a hard life for the past few years, and her mother's family is unable to make up for it.

So the Shi family has always planned, if there is a chance, to make a decent dowry for the younger sister.

In that case, she will be a good person when she arrives at her husband's house, and her life will be easier in the future.

Although she never said it outright, after all they lived in the same house, Shi guessed that the two daughters-in-law also knew what she was thinking.

Not to mention the thoughtful second daughter-in-law, even the eldest daughter-in-law who looks more honest is probably not happy in her heart.

In their hearts, the younger sister will be a married woman in the future, and she will take away more things.

There will naturally be less left for them, and the things of the Li family will belong to the children in the future.

So in the past few years, they have only been slightly polite to the younger sister, and the relationship between sisters-in-law and aunt-in-law is average.

But looking at Qingqing now, this is a good boy, she is really good for my little sister.

They listened to Sanlang's words to teach the elder Mao and Er Mao, but the younger sister Shi Shi knew that this must be Qingqing's own idea.

Qingqing's words are so right, she said ten thousand words and ten thousand words, the little girl can live a better life only after she really learns the skills.

Opening a shop would require a lot of effort to keep an eye on it, so every day was busy with various things, the old Li's family, even Shi Shi, who loved his youngest son the most, temporarily forgot about Li Sanlang.

Anyway, he has always been conscious of his studies, so he must be working hard in the provincial capital at the moment. It is said that the Qiuwei exam is about to come, but he has no time to think about other things. He is probably studying hard every day.

Not only the first day, the business was very good for several consecutive days, so this day, Mrs. Shi finally showed mercy and rewarded his family members who had worked hard for several days.

Unexpectedly, he took out [-] Wen all of a sudden to buy vegetables for everyone to eat, but [-] Wen was a full [-] Wen more than the [-] Wen that day.

Mrs. Li's current cooking skills are of course impeccable, and after being honed by the shop, her speed is even faster.

In less than an hour, six dishes were prepared, and they were all big dishes, including fish and shrimp, braised pork with braised pork ribs in braised sauce, and cucumber in egg soup sauce.

The family who eats can be said to be eloquent.

Fang Qingqing sighed suddenly: "Hey, brother Sanlang is at the government school, do you know if there is anything delicious?"

Shi's movement of peeling the shrimp was much slower, and she also remembered that her beloved youngest son was still suffering outside.

All of a sudden, tears welled up in his eyes: "It's a public place, the food must be bad."

Imagine that they are eating white rice, white noodles and steamed buns at home, but Saburo is eating corn buns with whole grains in the government school;
They ate big fish and big meat, and Saburo could only eat ordinary boiled vegetables without oil and water. Shi's heart seemed to be bleeding.

Saburo's temperament has always been like this, even if he is outside, he will not spend money recklessly, just look at the money he takes out every time, instead of spending it, he copies books to earn money and asks someone to take it home.

This child must always report good news but not bad news, but his classmate has eaten noodles in the shop several times.

Shi made friends with him on purpose and learned some things.

For example, what everyone eats together in the government school is the stewed dishes in a big pot, which has no taste of oil and water.

If you want to eat something good, you have to pay for it yourself, and you can also buy meat.

That being said, you have to spend money to buy it, and Saburo is reluctant.

Shi sighed, "Qiu Wei will be here in a few days, and I don't know how he is reading now, his body can still bear it."

Saburo did well in the last hospital exam, but his body was also exhausted.

The scene of the serious illness later, when thinking about it now, Shi Shi feels terrified.
