Cross the ancient times with golden fingers to farm and raise cubs

Chapter 41
On the second floor, 19 silver notes of 50 taels were placed neatly.

On the third floor, there is a small drawer of broken silver coins of different sizes, a total of 30 taels.

On the fourth floor, there are neat strings of copper plates in the small drawer, and 6 strings are neatly stacked, which is [-] Wen.

The fifth and last floor contains the ledger.

The total is 1186 taels, which is quite generous for the family.

After Yu Xiaoxiao looked at it, she locked it again. These family properties cannot be used casually.

This year, I guess I can’t save much money. I’m earning and spending at the same time. This summer will soon be over, and soon the family will have to collect firewood and burn charcoal. At that time, there will be a large expenditure. The little money here is not enough at all, it seems that I need to weave more cloth to sell.

After complaining about his hard work, he put away the money box and went to weave to make money.

At the same time, Shen Ye also picked up his earning job - copying books.

Because Shen Ye is the same as Yu Xiaoxiao, there is not much money left in the money box.

The days seemed to go back to the past, every day the three of them were busy doing their own jobs to make money, and finally Yu Xiaoxiao got together the money for the firewood three days before the firewood collection started.

The next day, Yu Xiaoxiao planned to have a good rest. After dinner in the evening, she packed up the dishes and planned to go back to the house, but Shen Ye stopped her.

It seems that it has become the habit of the three of them to gather together after dinner to discuss matters.

Shen Ye opened his mouth to talk about his own affairs: "Mother, since the money box is finished, all the money earned has been taken care of by each of us. If the three of us all contribute, and the money earned will be shared equally by the three of us, then this The first time we buy firewood to burn charcoal to make money, the three of us will also share the money to buy firewood."

Shen Qi also took out his money box, it seems that the two children had discussed it in private.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn't bother, went back to the house and brought her money box, and the three shared the money for firewood. Yu Xiaoxiao packed the money in a purse and put it in her money box.

Then the three of them dispersed and went back to the house to rest.

In the following days, nothing changed. I bought firewood to burn charcoal step by step, and then sold the charcoal.

During the period, I put the furniture into the new house, and then booked all the furniture for the east and west rooms with Carpenter Lei. This time, there was a request. The pattern should be more complicated, the furniture materials should be better, and the furniture should be durable and beautiful. a lot of.

In the end, it was decided that as long as it was made within two or three years, this time it would be paid for one piece after completion, and it would be much more expensive because of the many requirements, but Yu Xiaoxiao still happily agreed, after all those The things are intended to be prepared for the two sons to start a family and start a business. If they are more expensive, they will be more expensive, as long as the things are good.

After the main house was cleaned up, Yu Xiaoxiao went to ask the village chief to help her calculate a good day, and the family officially moved into the new house after having warm house wine.

When this house was built, each house also specially built two rooms with a kang. In winter, the whole house is warm when the kang is heated, and it is very comfortable to sleep at night, but there is one thing that is not good. Drink more water. Otherwise, it is easy to get angry.

The east house and the west house also built two such rooms each, so that when the two children get married in the future, they don't have to squeeze in with themselves in winter.

The chickens were not brought over and raised in the backyard. The main reason is that the winter is too cold and they might freeze to death. It is better to raise them in the old house. The chicken coop over there just needs to go to the chicken coop every day to burn the charcoal.

The days passed day by day, and it was the twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. It was still the same as in previous years. First, I sent fried dry goods to the neighbors and the village head, and then stayed at home, waiting for the arrival of the New Year.

On the day of Chinese New Year, the three of them seemed a little deserted in such a big yard, but none of the three were overly hypocritical, and they could be lively by themselves, raising the quality of the meals to the highest level, and the whole family ate deliciously. Had a New Year's Eve dinner.

Then, the two children went to carry their own money boxes, Yu Xiaoxiao was no exception, and took out her own money box.

Each of them counted their own money, and the three of them took turns to use it, and counted how much money was in their money box.

Yu Xiaoxiao was the first to finish. In her money box, there were five taels of broken silver, three hanging coins, and 857 copper coins.

Shen Ye was the second to finish. He had a total of 8 taels of broken silver, a hanging coin, and 8 copper coins.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Shen Ye waited for a long time, but Shen Qi hadn't finished it yet, so the two had no choice but to help Shen Qi to clear the count.

He has a total of 15 taels of silver and 5 copper coins.

After counting the money, Shen Ye said, "Mother, how much food do we need to buy a year?"

Yu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "The three of us basically have to eat 1750 catties a year. I eat about the same amount as you. I will eat a little less than us in the short term. Next year, I will probably prepare two to three hundred catties more. Food, you will eat more and more now that you are growing up."

"Mother, let's prepare two thousand catties of grain this year."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, as for the total cost you mentioned, it depends on whether you buy more rice noodles or miscellaneous grains.

If we only eat rice noodles, we will spend 12 taels of silver a year, and we will spend 8 taels of silver a year if we only eat miscellaneous grains.

But our family's conditions are not bad, and people don't just eat fine grains or only coarse grains, so our family usually eats mixed grains and fine grains. "

Shen Ye was a little tongue-tied when he heard it. It turns out that our family has to eat about ten taels of silver a year, but after thinking about it, our family has three meals a day, and each meal is full, so it is reasonable to spend so much money.

So, he asked, "Mother, how do you plan to buy food this year?"

Yu Xiaoxiao pondered for a while, then made up her mind: "Buy a little more miscellaneous grains for 1200 catties, and rice noodles for 800 catties. If we buy more than one at a time, it will be cheaper. Let's get nine taels of silver, which is about the same." gone."

Shen Ye nodded and said: "Mother, let's prepare a total of 10 taels. The oil and salt we eat will cost a few hundred Wen, and we will occasionally buy some meat."

Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and didn't say anything, so the three of them each took out 3 taels of silver and 350 copper coins, totaling 9 taels and 1050 Wen.

Yu Xiaoxiao took another purse and packed it up, and then looked at Shen Ye, wanting to see if he had any problems.

Sure enough, I heard him say again: "Mom, after the Chinese New Year is over, our family should collect the hemp sticks. Let's share the money equally."

Shen Qi nodded in agreement, but his little eyes were looking at his mother's little silver tael, the meaning of that expression was self-evident.

Yu Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth, and did not agree: "Your old lady, my little money can still afford it, besides, your old lady, I don't share the money I earn from weaving with you, so don't worry about it. .”

The two children looked at each other, but couldn't say anything else.

Yu Xiaoxiao continued: "This year we won't save money at home, this year's expenses and expenses are almost equal..."
