Chapter 13 Don't Be Afraid of Going Hungry

The next day, Yang really added water, and gave a bowl of soup to those who didn't buy vegetable cakes.

After everyone saw it, they all said that the Zhou family was benevolent and righteous, so it was even more embarrassing to let their own family come here to grab business.

More than ten days later, the canal was repaired, and old man Zhou and Zhou Zhoulang also returned home.

After selling the vegetable pancakes for 20 days, the family actually made as much as five taels, which is not a small amount.

Looking at the money on the table, the Zhou family felt like they were dreaming, they couldn't believe it.

Previously, I calculated how long it would last for three taels, and I was already very satisfied, but it was more than five taels, which was only 20 days.

Yang looked at the pile of copper coins on the table, "I'll be good, you didn't count wrong, did you?"

Zhou Zhoulang said with great certainty, "Sister-in-law, I'm sure there is absolutely no mistake in counting."

Zhou Yang also nodded.

Yang looked at Zhou Zhoulang who was able to walk with a cane, "Second brother, tell me that you have worked as an accountant, and sister-in-law believes you."

Regarding Yang's expression of disbelief, but saying that he believed his words, Zhou Zhoulang smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, Sanlang and Xiaoyang did not count wrong, that's all."

Only then did Yang believe that in these 20 days, he really made this money.

She curled her lips, "It turns out that doing business can make such a profit, no wonder the Xu family is so rich."

Lang said on Wednesday, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that. I heard that there are people like us who set up stalls like us in the place where the official road is repaired. It's already amazing to earn thirty or forty copper coins a day. It can't compare with us. .”

Yang opened her mouth in surprise, "Why, there are more people repairing the official way, more than those repairing canals. Why is there such a small amount of money, third child, are you lying to me?"

Lang said on Wednesday, "Sister-in-law, why am I lying to you? It's true. We built the canal together. Several companies set up stalls like ours. This is really the only income."

Yang said, "Why, they have a lot of people, so they supposedly make a lot of money."

Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said, "It's not you, sister-in-law, whoever told you to make delicious vegetable cakes, and you are not stingy with the bone soup, whether he buys our meat cakes or not, you will give a bowl, in this way, Everyone remembers that our family is good, and those who set up stalls in the family deliberately bypassed the canal repairers and sold them on official roads."

"There are also those two big brothers. Since we started selling vegetables and pancakes, we have given them food. Although they are not worth much, they also remember this. Everyone has seen this, and if they want to come here to buy things at home, they have to weigh it. Weigh it, and later my father and I will do the work with ease."

"These are all thanks to you, sister-in-law."

Yang pointed at herself, "Me?" She just sold vegetable cakes, and she sold the credit?

Zhou Zhoulang nodded affirmatively, "It's your sister-in-law."

Yang was stunned, "So our family can earn all this money, and it's the big guy who takes care of it?"

Lang said on Wednesday, "I can't even talk about taking care of her, I just don't feel like coming here to compete with our family for business."

The place to build the canal is not on the official road, the road is wide and easy to walk, so I go there when I want to, that is, my family is close, and I took the opportunity early.

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she didn't care how the money was earned, and pushed the money in front of the old lady, "Mother, the money is here, you keep it."

Mrs. Zhou did not refuse, gathered all the money she had already worn in front of her, opened a string, counted three hundred coins each, and pushed three hundred of them to Mrs. Yang and Zhou Dalang, "These three hundred coins you and the boss Take it yourself."

When it's over, there will be [-] Wen left over, and I will give [-] Wen to Zhou Zhoulang, "My third son, the idea of ​​selling vegetable cakes is your idea, and you can keep the [-] Wen by yourself."

The old lady pushed the remaining three hundred wen in front of Zhou Zhoulang, "For the next ten days or so, the second child will help deal with the bamboo shoots, so that your eldest brother and sister-in-law can have time to rest, you take it."

Yang Shi and Zhou Dalang looked at each other, "Mother, then I'll accept it."

Zhou Zhoulang, "Mom, I'll take it too." Taking the money, Zhou Zhoulang called Su Jinli and Zhou Ying, Zhou Xing and Zhou Yang over, "What do you want to eat, tell third uncle, go to the street tomorrow, third uncle will give you money." You buy."

The little koi licked his mouth, "Little uncle, the koi wants maltose, sweet!"

Zhou Ying raised her hand, "Uncle, I want maltose too."

Zhou Xing looked at his two younger sisters, "Uncle, I also want maltose and a wooden sword."

Zhou Zhoulang, "Okay, I'll buy them all."

Zhou Zhoulang looked at the money on the table, "Mom, I don't need it for the time being, so don't give it to me."

The old lady Zhou said, "You can take it here, if you don't need it, you can go to the street when your leg is healed, and buy whatever you need."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhou remembered that ten days ago, when she went to bring food to her second child, she saw him stand up against the wall.

At that time, I was really surprised and happy, and I dropped the food in my hand, trembling, and carefully looked at the second child who was standing against the wall, not daring to breathe.

I'm afraid it's because I'm blinded by my own eyes.

If the little koi hadn't called her grandma crisply, she wouldn't know how long she would have stood there.

The old lady woke up, and approached Zhou Zhoulang cautiously, lest she would startle him, she didn't ask until she grabbed his hand, "Second brother, is your leg alright?"

The old lady still remembered the look on Tuesday when Lang returned to her, the cloud was clear and the wind was calm, as if she had eaten today.

"It's not all right, but I can stand up and walk with a cane."

At that time, the old lady wept with joy, and insisted on worshiping all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens.

In the end, I learned from my second child that I could actually stand up ten days earlier, but I was afraid that I would be happy, so I kept it secret.

The angry old lady beat and beat him at that time, scolding him for keeping it secret.

Thinking about it now, I feel that these 20 days are more than the past year.The poor family couldn't afford to eat, and the Wang family regretted their marriage, and then they broke bamboo shoots, and they did business, and then they looked like the second child could stand up and walk around again.

The old lady felt that it was probably God's favor that made the family better every day.

Zhou Zhou Lang looked at the old lady's expression and put away the copper plate without saying a word.

The old lady took out another string of money, "It's warming up soon, everyone, remember to go to the street to fetch cloth and make clothes for the children."

Yang took the money and agreed.

Su Jinli looked at the smiles on everyone's faces and followed suit cheerfully.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of food at home for the time being, and she can salt fish for a while again.

When she first came here, the house was cold and there was no food. Koi was really worried that she would starve to death in the lower world, and tried to find a way to make money every day, but her grandmother and aunt would not let her go out, so she could only worry at home.

Later, when I was able to go out, I not only found a lot of bamboo shoots, but also saw the prosperity of my aunt's vegetable pancake business, and my worries gradually disappeared.

Not happy at the moment.

Su Jinli laughed out loud after thinking about it.

Provoking everyone in the room to look at her, Mrs. Yang hugged the little guy in her arms, kissed the koi's increasingly fleshy face, and asked, "Our little koi is so happy, tell auntie What good thing did you think of?"

Su Jinli said happily, "Hey, my aunt has made a lot of money, and Jinli is no longer afraid of going hungry."
