That Jinbao got 150 copper coins, and he was ecstatic!
You know, the workers at the docks don’t make more than twenty or thirty copper coins a day, and he works as an apprentice in a restaurant, earning only a hundred or so copper coins a month, and he earns so much at once!
Jin Bao couldn't help rubbing it in his hands repeatedly: If he did it three times a month, he could earn [-] copper coins a month, and he could buy toys for his little niece/nephew who was about to be born, and a book for his fourth brother who was studying. book! …

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become concerned about the sale of roasted seeds and nuts.After convincing my master, in the next few days, I will prepare a plate of roasted seeds and nuts according to Yi Ren's instructions, put it in a conspicuous place as soon as I enter the restaurant, and put up a sign with the words "free tasting".This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

On the day of delivering the roasted seeds and nuts, Yiren went to the pier and Zhongxin Street respectively, and the pancakes and stewed pork rice were all sold out.Today, I still made a return trip with Uncle Shiqing, but we made an appointment at the entrance of Mi Nian Store.

"Brother, I'm here again!" Yi Ren said hello to Mi Nian's waiter after entering the door.

"It's my sister-in-law! Come in quickly and sit down first!" Xiaoer gave up his seat with a wink. You must know that this little lady can come every day, and she can be regarded as a big customer if she buys a lot!
"Brother, I want to buy more rice and noodles today, and I also want to order some things!" Yi Ren was not polite, and sat down.

"How much do you want my sister-in-law to buy? What kind of goods are you ordering? We have a complete range of products and good quality, and the price will definitely be favorable to you. Just say what you want!" Xiao Er skillfully introduced.

"Sixty catties of white flour, fifty catties of cornmeal, and thirty catties of stone honey, thirty catties of rice flour, thirty catties of red beans, twenty salted duck eggs, fifteen catties of black sesame, and fifteen catties of sesame oil!" She finished talking about her needs in one breath, and Xiao Er was dumbfounded.

Jiangmi noodles are also modern glutinous rice noodles. Yiren intends to make something that is not easy to be copied by others, but also delicious and convenient to eat, and this meal must use glutinous rice flour.But glutinous rice flour was not commonly used in this era, so the rice noodle shop did not sell it ready-made, so it could only be ordered.

"This... sister-in-law, the restaurant in this town only needs so many things! White flour, cornmeal, and red beans are available, but stone honey, salted duck eggs, black sesame seeds, and sesame oil are not common, and there are not so many in stock in the small shop."

"It's okay, I can wait, but it's cheaper for me!"

"Hey! Come on! That's natural. Just the sixty catties of white flour. I used to give you two and a half pennies a catty. It's very cheap. Now I'll give you two pennies! Fifty catties of cornmeal is fifty pennies! Separate order The goods..." Xiaoer scratched his head, showing embarrassment. "I have to call our shopkeeper."

"Okay, I'll wait!"

Xiao Er turned around and ran towards the backyard, and ran back after a while, followed by a middle-aged man who walked fast but staggered a little.

Yi Ren stood up. "Presumably this is the shopkeeper!"

"That's right, that's right!" The middle-aged man cupped his hands at Yi Ren. "I heard that my sister-in-law wants to order some rare things?"

"I'll take white flour and corn flour away. I also want [-] catties of rice noodles, [-] catties of red beans, [-] catties of black sesame seeds, [-] catties of sesame oil, and [-] salted duck eggs!" Yi Ren repeated his request again, thinking Talking too much, now my mouth is dry, and I can't help pursing my lips.

Xiao Er was very clever, and immediately turned around to pour water, thinking that she was pregnant, so he poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

The shopkeeper took a pen, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote down her needs one by one, handed it to her, and said, "Little sister-in-law, check it out?"

...

When placing an order with the shopkeeper, Uncle Shiqing arrived at the handlebar. He saw the flour bags on the ground, and he and Xiaoer began to move them to the ox cart without any explanation.After Yiren negotiated the price, he gave another three hundred Wen as a deposit, and the noodles were already on the bullock cart.

"Uncle Qing, the truck is too heavy to pull the goods today, and it took you to pull someone else. I'll give you [-] cents!" Yi Ren gratefully took out the money and handed it to Uncle Qing.

...

The bullock cart wandered back to the village, and Yiren saw Qiu Shi standing at the door of his house from a distance.

"Gui Fen, you're here!" Yi Ren hurriedly jumped out of the car to meet her.

"Come to talk to you!" Qiu said with a cheerful smile, compared to the last time Yiren saw her, she seemed happier.Qiu Shi stepped forward to help Uncle Qing move the noodles into the courtyard.

After finishing all the work, Yi Ren made an agreement with Uncle Qing to take mountain goods to the county every day, and Uncle Qing drove the ox cart home.

"Yi Ren, your clan uncle agrees! We are just a one-way deal, earning you so much money for nothing... I... I thank you..." Qiu Shi pulled Yi Ren to sit on the stool in the main room, with tears in his eyes.

She knew in her heart that Yi Ren could obviously harvest melon seeds, peanuts and golden chestnuts by herself, but she chose to give this job to her because she knew that she was having a difficult time at home and wanted to help her because of their childhood friendship, so she was very grateful .

"I don't just want to help you, Gui Fen, but I really need your help." It's true that Yi Ren wanted to help the original owner's childhood playmate, but it was also her own need. "Look at my body getting heavier every day. Even if I don't have this body, my prestige in the village is not as good as that of my uncle!"

"You are the first to think of me when you have something good to do, and let me do this job alone. How can I not understand in my heart, thank you, Yiren!" Qiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, the days will always get better and better, you and the clan uncle can talk about it, there is nothing you can't get through!" Yi Ren asked again: "I wonder how many melon seeds, peanuts and golden chestnuts your family can sell to me?"

Now it is the full moon, and the work in the field is not busy. There are idlers in every household in the village. It is only necessary for someone to go to the field every day to check the growth, drought and flood, and weeding.Therefore, most of the strong laborers in the family responded to the government's call to build city walls and water canals, or went to the mountains to hunt some game, pick wild crops such as mountain products, nine lantern lotus, and save them for the winter festival.

Qiu stretched out a rough and sallow hand, put away the three fingers in the middle, leaving only the thumb and little finger, with the back of the hand facing Yi Ren, and said with some pride, but also some embarrassment: "Six hundred catties!"

"Six hundred catties?" Yi Ren's eyes widened in shock. There are few melon seeds and golden chestnuts in this era, and they are not considered delicious in the eyes of the public. Few people would pick and hoard so much, so Yi Ren guessed that The [-] catties may be mostly peanuts. After all, peanuts need to keep seeds, and they can also be squeezed for oil and cooked. "Store peanuts?"

"Two hundred catties each!" Qiu Shi laughed purely and proudly, like a child showing off his toys.

"So much!" Yi Ren really didn't expect the Qiu family to save so much.

Qiu Shi misunderstood that Yiren didn't need so much, but she told her husband about going to another house to collect it. If it didn't work out...she asked tentatively, "How much can you ask for?"
