Chapter 30 The Regret of Illiteracy
And these three brothers, they didn't seem to be promising in their early years, they were almost like trash.

Looking at it now, Lu Gang feels that their future may not be mediocre.

There is no other reason, it is because of what Ye Zhen, the eldest sister, said.

Looking at the recent events in Lu Gang's eyes, Lu Gang couldn't help but be deeply moved: the elder sister is like a mother, this is only an 11-year-old girl, she really deserves these four words.

Of course, Lu Gang didn't reveal the thoughts in his heart, he just glanced at Ye Ying beside him, waved his whip, and the carriage walked steadily forward.

Ye Zhen didn't bring too much marinated meat today, she set up a charcoal fire in the shop, and put an iron pot on it, in the pot was the fragrant brine and the half-exposed braised meat.

On the table next to it, there is stewed meat that is still emitting heat. A guy is very skilled at cutting the stewed meat and dried beans into thin slices. A stewed egg is cut into eight pieces. As long as someone passes by, they will be full of enthusiasm. He greeted loudly: "Come and taste it! Freshly cooked stewed pork, you can taste it for free and don't need money!"

Ye Zhen sat in front of the charcoal fire, with a cattail fan just to fan the wind.

The weather in this summer is already hot, and there is a pot and a charcoal fire in front of it.

When the cattail fan came over, it not only brought a trace of coolness, but also fanned out the gluttonous fragrance!For a while, people who came and went turned their heads one after another, and they all came to try to eat.

Lu Gang took a stool and just sat inside the town house.

Because it was the first day of trial sale, Ye Zhen didn't make a lot, so it was sold in limited quantities, and everyone bought at most one catty.

After everyone tried it, they all gave their money. Braised eggs and stewed pig scalp are the best sellers, followed by stewed dried beans, and finally stewed fat intestines and stewed small intestines.

After all, everyone didn't eat the fat intestines and small intestines before, but now they are eating it for the first time, and they are somewhat worried, and many people dare not try it.

Ye Zhen is not in a hurry: There is always a process from rejection to liking, and people naturally have the desire to explore unknown things.

I was scared on the first day. After a long time, I saw that others dared to eat it, and it was okay to eat it. They also said that it tasted good, so I was only curious. When the time comes, I muster up the courage to try it again. How can I escape?
Even so, a large pot of stewed meat, stewed beans, dried beans, stewed eggs and stewed sausages weighed more than a hundred catties, and they were all sold out in less than two hours.

Ye Zhen made an inventory. It cost more than 500 Wen to buy the materials before, but now, she actually received more than 600 Wen.

In one day, he actually made a tael of silver? !

The three brothers who have been busy all morning are very excited!

This was something that was unimaginable before!

If you can earn more than one or two taels of silver every day in the future, how can you do it?

After Ye Zhen finished her calculations, she was going to go to the butcher and tofu shop to get the raw materials for sale tomorrow, but she heard the three brothers arguing.

When Ye Zhen heard this, she couldn't help laughing: the three children were arguing about how much money they could earn in a year.

One said that at least 100 taels could be earned, and the other said that it might be 200 taels. The youngest, Ye Hong, was very frustrated: "It would be great if we could learn to read and count. At least we can help the eldest sister to calculate the money clearly."

Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat, yes, there are three children, the youngest Ye Hong is six years old, but they are all illiterate...

If it was the original body, she probably wouldn't think of sending her three younger brothers to school to learn how to read, but Ye Zhen, who has gone through compulsory education, subconsciously felt that it was right for all three children to go to school.

Through reading, you can understand the world and shape your views!

Ye Zhen thought about it, and asked the three brothers on the carriage back: "Do you want to study in the future?"

The boss, Ye Ying, said without hesitation, "I don't want to!"

The second child, Ye Yu, hesitated for a moment: "Study is very expensive, we can't afford it."

Ye Yu's words made the light in the eyes of the third child Ye Hong go out immediately, and he nodded following the second child's words: "Sister, studying is very expensive, and only Yu Bao from the uncle's family is studying in our village. That’s a lot of money! Books are also very expensive, pens, ink, paper and inkstones are very expensive. We can’t afford to read.”

Ye Zhen understood a little when she heard it: For an ordinary farmer's family, if they want to provide for a scholar, it can almost be said that they are ruined. There are three brothers in my family, and they are still orphans. According to everyone's knowledge, how can they afford to study?

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen also didn't care too much about the boss Ye Ying's unhesitating "I don't want to". On the contrary, the boss is afraid of adding burden to herself!
Sighing, Ye Zhen explained: "As long as this stewed meat business starts, the family will not be short of money for your studies. If you can read and write in the future, you will know what is outside this mountain. Knowing that this Hongye town is just a small place in the Da Yue Dynasty, the Da Yue Dynasty is still very wide, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also go outside to take a look and see the world."

"Is the stewed meat business so profitable?" Ye Ying asked. In fact, he didn't dislike studying so much. It was just that studying was too expensive. He subconsciously felt that as the eldest brother, he should help the eldest sister to share the burden instead of increasing her burden. .

Ye Zhen nodded and comforted her again: "Even if the braised meat business doesn't make enough money for the three of you to study together, I can find other ways to make money. It will be enough for you to study together."

"Eldest sister is too tired, why don't I stop reading and let elder brother and younger brother read." Ye Yu shook his head.

Ye Ying became anxious when he heard it: "You don't study, what should I study? Or let Ye Hong study! I'm already this old, so I won't go."

Tears welled up in Ye Hong's eyes: "The eldest brother and the second brother don't study, and I don't study either, and I don't want to burden the eldest sister."

Alright, the three brothers are brothers and sisters now!We all know that we are humble to each other.

Ye Zhen first praised the three brothers: "You can think about each other like this, and you can think about the difficulty of the eldest sister. It is the cherishment of the brotherhood and the love for the eldest sister. I am very happy. The master in the village said, people For a lifetime, character is the most important thing, more important than whether you study or not. You must keep this in mind. There is no rush to study, I will go back and find out the specific situation, and we will discuss it later."

Saying this in the name of the village head master, everyone has no opinion.After all, everything has been heard, so you can ask about the specifics before deciding.

Lu Gang was stunned when he heard it again: In this case, even ordinary ladies may not be able to say it, but a little village girl in the countryside can actually say that "character is more important than reading", although it is what the master said, But when the master said it, she could listen to it, and she could tell it to the three younger brothers, which is very rare!
And even if you are from the capital city, if your family is not well-off, you will not think about letting your brothers go to school. This one is good. It was only the first day when I tried to do business, and I was able to think of going to school for my three brothers. ? !

You know, she herself is only 11 years old. An 11-year-old girl actually wants to provide for three scholars by herself?
