The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 78 Income

The man saw An Ermu as if he didn't hear him. He had already walked in front of An Xu, and he was about to grab him, but before he stretched out his hand, he was blocked by a stick.

An Xu raised her hand and lowered it. If it wasn't necessary, she didn't want to conflict with the people in the village.

Standing in the middle was a fire stick. It turned out that Uncle An was lighting a fire at home. His home was not far from the main road. When he heard these disputes, he hurried out to have a look.

"Liu Fa, you are an elder, and you deliberately bully us, the juniors in the house, do you think we are easy to bully?"

When Uncle An said a word, Liufa smiled instantly. The annoyance just now seemed to be an illusion, "Why, you are our big brother, with you watching from the side, how dare we."

"Do you dare if I'm not here?"

"Brother, what are you talking about in New Year's Eve?" Uncle An hurriedly stopped the elder brother's words, but he was stared at. Uncle An looked annoyed: "Go away."

"Danny, go home, you don't need to give him the annual gift of your second uncle's house this year," Uncle An said to An Xu, "Anyone who asks, just tell me what I said, it is not something from the elders, and it is not worthy of filial piety."

Uncle An had an ugly face, but he didn't dare to say anything.

An Xu said, "Uncle, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first."

"Back." Uncle An nodded.

Uncle An also didn't expect that this eldest niece was even less polite than before, and she didn't even want to say a few polite words, as if she didn't see herself.Seeing her and the servant driving away, I couldn't help but chatter to my elder brother: "Brother, I am also angry, you said that the eldest daughter of the fourth family is promising, why doesn't she know how to help us who are in the same line. Then what is Zheng Changsheng, who follows her every day and can still enjoy delicious food and spicy food."

Uncle An glanced at his second brother, "What's wrong, you are a worthless uncle, and you still need your niece to take care of you?"

Uncle An couldn't say this, but he just felt that An Da Ni had a good way. He should not only care about the face of the elders, but also take the initiative to bring her cousin to make a fortune.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so badly all six times just now, so he didn't say a word.

"Brother, that's not the case. We're all half-legged into the coffin. It's not for us, it's for the little ones in the family. My family's Da Xiang Er Yao, and your family's Da Ao brothers, who don't need a way to make money ?” Uncle An whispered, seeing his elder brother's face darkened, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Uncle An saw that he stopped talking, so he said: "When Da Ni can't make it through, can your family lend a hand?"

Uncle An was speechless, and he was ashamed to say it. There were even a handful of leeks that could be cut from the ground at home, and his wife was reluctant to ask Dani to take a few.

"Our children can't live a good life. It's because of our own incompetence. Don't try to bully children just because you can occupy the status of an elder." Uncle An finished speaking and glanced at Liufa next to him. , Turned around and went home with the fire stick.

At home, An Ao is fine. He is making furniture in the backyard. This is what he thought about doing. He has no apprenticeship and is over that age. He just thinks that when hunting in the mountains is not possible, he can make some chairs and benches for collection. Exchange money.

There are only a few types of income from the beginning to the end of a farm family.Sometimes the imperial court confiscated corvee, and the family's odds and ends needed women to weave.

Uncle An didn't go into the kitchen again, he went straight to the backyard with the fire stick in his hand, and said to his eldest son, "You are always at home, and you can also make something. If you have nothing to do, go to Da Ni's place to have a look. If you need anything, you can give it to me." I made it and sent it away. At that time, can I lose your things?"

An Ao wondered, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?" He lowered his head and held the sandpaper in his hand, sanding the legs of the chair, and said, "I didn't care about Dani before, now I'm going forward, How do people see it?"

"Who would make a joke? If you don't look for a way out yourself, you can ask Dani to bring it to you? Besides, you are cousins ​​of the first cousins. What does she need for business, so what if you send it to me?"

"If you want the little stone to go up all the way, you should take the initiative to find a way out. Danny has a good brain, and if you make something good, we can grab the first one if we want to buy it?" Uncle An watched and gradually stopped. The son who made a move, "Don't think that Xiao Shitou can read, just pass the test. There is still a long way to go if you pass the test, become an official, and become a good official."

----

As Uncle An said, even if An Xu wanted to help a few cousins, it was impossible for them to take the initiative to send things up when they didn't show their faces.

The cooperation with Zheng Changsheng is entirely based on seeing that their family can't survive. At this time, you don't need to expressly say that others will be grateful for the help you provide.

But in a house where there is no shortage of food or drink, if you come to ask someone to make a cup, it may be annoying.

An Xu and Fengnian loaded the remaining dozen or so bags of candy sticks into the car, and went out again.

Granny Zhao saw the bag of money that An Xu moved into the house. After walking away for a while, her heart was still trembling. She took a small bench, fumbled for a little sewing, and sat at the door without moving.

At noon, Zong Che put down his books and came out to cook rice. His skill is to be able to cook rice well.

The noodles served had no flavor other than salty. Dao Xiang and Zhao Cheng had a slightly bitter face. In fact, they were not picky kids, but they could eat An Xu’s dishes every day. It's hard not to feel unpalatable when the noodles are cooked.

Zhao Cheng ate one by one, and chatted with Zong Che, who was not easy to talk to: "Brother Che, you really want to take the annual provincial examination next year? Don't you need to go to the prefectural school to listen to the teacher's guidance?"

Zong Che: "I have books, I don't need them."

The book was given by Mr. Gu. If he has any questions, he can also write to Mr. Gu. The prefectural school is aimed at all the scholars who enter the school, and the progress is still too slow, so he does not plan to go.

Zhao Chengdao: "I thought that if I entered school in the future, I would have someone to keep me company."

Before the college examination, the students of the government school had a holiday, and the school would not start until February [-] of the next year. He became a scholar, and he could go to the government school to study. It was a happy thing, but when he thought about it, he would have to be alone. In the government school, I feel that I don't want to go to school.

Granny Zhao: I think you don't want to eat noodles.

"Eat quickly," she reminded her little grandson, don't eat delicious food for a few days, and you don't know the hardships of the people outside. Some people can't eat such good noodles during the festival.

It was at this time that An Ao came over. He was holding five or six large flat baskets for drying vegetables that he had woven a few days ago. Seeing that An Xu was not at home, he put them on the shelf in the yard and was about to leave.

After Granny Zhao found out that this was An Xu's cousin, she hurriedly asked people to come in and sit down. While pouring water, she said, "If you need anything, just tell my old lady. I will tell her when Xu'er comes back."

An Ao took the water and asked, "Xu'er?"

Zong Che raised his head, swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and said, "She chose the name herself, and I will tell you by the water."

An Ao was surprised, but then found it funny, only his cousin could do this.

"I'm fine. I just came to see if there is anything I need at home. I have nothing to do at home, so I just did it."

Granny Zhao said with a smile: "If you want to talk about this, I really know that Xu'er and the others need a box of three-compartment bamboo baskets, with lids, as many as there are."

After hearing this, An Ao was very happy, and agreed with a smile, and he was going home to do it.

At this time, a dainty man with a donkey in his hand, wearing a blue silk coat and a scholar's cap came in from the outside, "Does the chief case live here?"

Zong Che looked over and asked, "I am, what's the matter?"

The man immediately showed a smiling face, stepped forward, took out a big red post from his bosom, handed it over and said: "This is an invitation issued by the grandfather, to invite the head of the case and the first-class scholar in Chipu County, the younger son At noon, go to the county government office for a banquet. Because the old lady is also there, you can bring your family members with you."

Dao Xiang ran over, took the post, then ran to Zong Che and handed it to him.

Zong Che took it, glanced at it, put it on the table, and said, "I see."

Is this over?

The person who sent the post said that he was really a young case, and he felt that he was amazing, and he didn't even have to ask for a cup of tea?
Before she finished complaining, the old lady asked a child to come over to help lead the donkey to tie it up, and then she poured tea herself and served it together, along with a plate of different candies.

One is white, stick-shaped, and the other is amber, pressed flat, mixed with sesame seeds and other fruit-like things.

Pick it up and taste it, only to realize that it is walnut.

"Is this made of white sugar?" The person who sent the post was surprised. He is a subordinate official of the county government. It costs two or three hundred Wen.

Of course, the ones from Mijin Pavilion look better than this one, although there is no difference in taste—maybe the fruit made of white sugar is like this, but every family in the countryside can eat this kind of candy, which proves that the family lives well. Very good.

This Wu Xuli was thinking while eating, and unknowingly ate half a plate of tea, he immediately stood up embarrassedly, and said: "I have to go back, there are still posts from several towns in the east to deliver."

Granny Zhao didn't stay, so she asked Zhao Cheng to go to the house and pack a pound of the top-quality peanut crisps and zongzi candies.

Wu Xuli accepted it politely, and at the same time revealed the preferences of many county matriarchs.

After the person left, Zhao Cheng was still distressed: "Grandma, my sister said, that kind of good candy costs a penny a catty."

Granny Zhao laughed: "Your sister doesn't care about this little money, Cheng'er, you have to know that some things should be spent, so you have to spend them. This is not more economical than handing out the money ourselves, and more face?"

As he said that, he said to An Ao who hadn't left yet: "This is something made by Xu'er. I said that I would send a few catties to my uncle's house during the New Year. Wait a minute, I will pack it for you. .”

"No, no, no," An Ao was more surprised than anything else. He knew that his cousin had been making things for the past two days, and the sweet smell was still there these days, but he didn't know that she was making candy.

Candy, a catty of snowflake candy in the shop costs ten or twenty yuan, and my cousin turned out to be a made candy.

This is a business that can create a family heirloom.

As An Ao said, he hurried away. He had to tell his father that this matter was too big for him to think about.

As for Granny Zhao, she just said that just now, but she didn't actually move her footsteps. She knew that the child had to discuss it with the elders at home immediately.

Zhao Cheng said to his grandma again, "My sister can do candy, how did you go out?"

Granny Zhao looked at her anxious grandson amusedly, and said, "You can smell the sweetness of our house at the entrance of the village, can you hide it? If you have a cash cow, you have to have someone who can guard it. Listen to Qin'er Said, her uncle's family is not bad."

Zong Che didn't care about this all the time, and only raised his head to look at the old lady when he heard this, thinking that she is always lucky to find someone who is thoughtful and has a bit of a brain.

If I leave home to go to Beijing to catch the exam in the future, I don't have to worry too much about my family.

An Xu came back in the middle of the afternoon, Granny Zhao had already made rice porridge and side dishes, and Zong Che's food was really unpalatable, and the girl couldn't make it easy to eat after a busy day outside.

After a simple meal, An Xu mobilized the whole family to go to the house with her to count the money.

The main room where she lives, even if Granny Zhao lives in, is still very spacious, and the three big bags of copper plates are dumped on the ground, like a hill.

Zhao Cheng couldn't close his mouth when he saw it. My sister is making money too fast.

Zong Che was the one who reacted calmest among them, but he also raised his eyebrows in surprise. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon. This is still true.

If it weren't for the crushing bucket and blower she made in advance, it would take several months to earn back such money.

It seems that strange skills and ingenuity are the biggest insult to utensils.

"So much money, I can't even count it until tomorrow." Granny Zhao lamented that she had always spent so much copper in her life, but she had never seen so much at once.

An Xu laughed and said, "You don't need to count them one by one. When we came back, we bought a scale at the grocery store in the town. We weighed them and roughly calculated how much the money was."

After the new year is over, I will take it to Fucheng to find a bank to exchange it for silver.

Zong Che said: "Actually, when you collect money, you can collect as much silver as possible. People who do business will always have some accumulated gold and silver in their hands."

"Didn't I not think of it?" An Xu later saw that there were too many copper coins to take away, so everyone behind asked if they could give silver.

Seeing her annoyed look, Zong Che couldn't help curling his lower lip.

Weigh it.

So much physical currency still has weight, and it does make people feel rich, but it is indeed too much trouble.

An Xu and the others, four or five of them, weighed until it was getting late before they could figure it out.

There are about 5 copper plates in three big bags.It is obtained by selling 25 catties of sugar boards and [-] catties of sugar sticks. The sugar boards cost [-] Wen per catty and the sugar sticks cost [-] Wen.

More than 5 copper coins seemed to be enough, but before An Xu had time to be happy, he heard Zong Che do the math for her: "Based on 50 copper coins, this amount is only less than [-] taels of silver. "

An Xu:? ? ?
Is there a mistake, making money faster than she sells two prescriptions?
