The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 80 Earnings
Before Xiuniang went to the capital, the ownership of the tavern was transferred to Li Jing. He and his sister-in-law worked hand in hand to build this tavern. She only paid for the money to buy the shop. Now that the capital of the tavern has been returned, she can't just The wronged boss had nothing to lose, so after thinking about it I just gave it to him.

Anyway, Xiu Niang has other ways to make money, so she doesn’t lack this.

While there were no outsiders in the house, the sister-in-law talked to Xiuniang.

"Xiu'er, you gave the tavern to Brother Jing, what are you going to do? You spent all your pension money on your children, and you don't leave any for yourself. I took so many things and money from you, and I feel uneasy. .”

The sister-in-law looked at her sincerely.

"Just cook me something delicious. These children are all descendants of the Li family, and they are all named Li. In the past, you worked the most at home and contributed the most, and my eldest brother and I worked the hardest. Back then, when you supported my husband, it was a big deal. When our family was in trouble, it was real hardship, but it doesn’t matter now. If we don’t support our children, who will support them? We can’t make much money by farming.”

"Xiu'er, meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life."

The sister-in-law covered her face and choked with sobs. Xiuniang was the only one in the family who always remembered her hard work and grievances, and always protected and helped her in return.

Xiu Niang took a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Don't be afraid, I will still be there if the sky falls. Money matters are just trivial matters, but as we agreed, you have to make delicious food for me. When we grow old, we will be together." companion."

"Okay, when we get old I will cook for you and take you to the mountains to play."

The sister-in-law smiled and shed tears. The two hugged each other, and their hearts were closely connected at this moment.

"When we make money, you will have money to do weaving and spinning. Grandma was still talking about this before."

The sister-in-law also remembered her wish, but it was a pity that she spent the money on her family again.

"Don't worry, I plan to buy some looms and come back in a few days. I will teach everyone how to make palace flowers and brocade in the empty room over the ancestral hall. I will do whatever I can so that everyone can make money."

"That's a good thing. I'll run errands for you."

The sister-in-law was overjoyed when she heard that Xiu Niang's craftsmanship was particularly outstanding. If she taught the big guys, she would not worry about making money.

"We can start working after we buy the loom. I asked Li Qing to buy it for me. Sister-in-law, do you still have money? Please lend me some money to buy Li Qing a loom and silk thread."

"I have it. Don't worry about it. Brother Jing settled the money for Li Qing yesterday."

The sister-in-law said with a smile.

Knowing that Xiu Niang had no money, Li Jing took the initiative to buy back the things he needed and paid Xiu Niang's money for the machine.

Today, my sister-in-law is in charge of the kitchen and makes delicious dishes to comfort the whole family.

Li Mao came back before dinner, "Brother and sister, the shopkeeper asked me to give this to you. He said that you can rest assured and wish the Li family's children and grandchildren a bright future."

"Thank you, brother. I'll feel relieved then."

"Xiu'er, what did the shopkeeper give me? Did he promise not to trick us when he said that?"

Since my sister-in-law started her business, she has learned to read, write, and calculate accounts, and she has become more and more clever. She can guess four or five points of some things without having to explain them thoroughly.

In fact, my eldest sister-in-law is quite smart, but thanks to her lack of education, otherwise, the three children she gave birth to would be extremely smart.

"Yes, I sent him a few pictures of jewelry that could make him a lot of money. I didn't ask him for money just to shut his mouth. If I don't do it in the future, I won't offend him. His blessing to me shows that he understands my concerns. No. It will hinder the future of Brother Heng and the others."

"Oh, you smart people always talk in roundabout ways, and you still have to guess for a long time."

The sister-in-law shook her head.

"Mom, people in the capital say that you should take two points and leave three points. This time I have learned a lot. Mom, my little aunt even gave me a gift."

"Have you brought gifts to others? You can't take things from others for nothing." The sister-in-law asked quickly. She is a very principled person and the children she teaches are sensible.

"I gave a tapestry fan that I embroidered, and also gave one to my aunt of the Zhou family. She also gave me a gift in return. My second aunt took me to see the world. The mansion I went to was so big that it occupied a larger area than Our wine shop is pretty good, I think it’s even bigger.”

"Hey, such a big house?"

"The servants there are more stylish than the people in our village. The maids are like young ladies. But they can talk and they can tell they are human sperm at the first glance. This capital city is really hard to get along with."

Qing'er shook her head. This time she and Yingzi were also very touched.

"Then what gift did someone give you? If it's too expensive, don't take it."

"My second aunt asked me to accept it. My aunt gave me a set of golden silk inlaid with rubies on the head and face, saying that I would need it in the future. The aunt of the Xiao family gave me a unique copybook."

"It's really expensive. Keep it well. Keep your things by yourself. Mom won't care about it in the future. If the return gift is not enough, you can tell your mother that you are not allowed to ask for money or things from your second aunt. Your second aunt bought properties for both your eldest and second brothers. , there is no money. You three have spent all your aunt’s dowry money.”

The eldest sister-in-law gave her daughter an annoyed look. Brother Qun and Brother Chun didn't spend that much.

"Mom, I know. If I continue to weave tapestry fans, I can still make a lot of money from them."

"Well, I sold the money to buy silk thread for your aunt. I don't care about your money or things."

"Then I'll give it to my grandparents. Grandma, I'll sell the money to honor you."

Qing'er ran over and acted like a good girl.

"Okay, your mother doesn't want grandma, your grandpa wants to buy a shop as a wine shop, and the family is building a house. It's good if you are willing to contribute."

The mother-in-law held her granddaughter in her arms and told the truth without hiding it.

"Then I'll build a house for you. I wonder if it's too late to buy a shop?"

In fact, Qing'er only had copper coins in hand to buy sweets and food. The money from selling palace flower embroidery and tapestry fans was given to my mother-in-law. My sister-in-law honestly knew that the family was short of money, so she gave it to her mother-in-law.

"Not urgent."

Li Mao took several children to the farm to work on it. It was the [-]-acre farm that Xiu Niang bought. Some of the output was ready to be harvested. He took people to sell it and exchanged some money for other things.

The fish raised in the pond have also grown up. The tavern uses part of it and sells the rest to other restaurants. A batch of spring aquatic plants has been harvested. This is the second batch.

A batch of free-range chickens, ducks and geese in the woodland will also be sold. The ones used in the tavern have been reserved, and a small amount of medicinal materials can be collected and sold.

This Zhuangzi has always been managed by Li Mao, Li Jing and the others. The children of the tribe have contributed to the work. No one cares that the land is not my family's. I will give it to you for free. Everyone is willing to contribute to Xiu Niang's work.

Knowing that Xiu Niang can't take care of the land, it is all done with the help of her family and clan teachers, so she only needs to collect the money, and the food is not only eaten at home, but also used in the wine shop, it will be included in the account, no need Worry.

The business of the tavern is very prosperous now, and it is getting better and better under Li Jing's management. The accounts are settled once every three months, and the accounts are distributed. The main reason is that everyone is short of money, and they have to use the money to build a house and marry a wife, and they can't wait for a year.

Fourth Grandpa said that after the big things are done next year, it will be enough to divide the accounts once a year. Don't divide the accounts so diligently. It is not like a golden hen laying golden eggs.

Zhuangzi made some profits, not a lot of money, but he has always gained. Now he basically doesn’t spend money on food and drink at home, and he can still receive a steady stream of money. Xiu Niang doesn’t have much to spend money on. Even the silk threads he needs are bought by Li Jing and the others. Send it back.

Recently, Li Heng went to the capital to become an official, and he was very popular. Xiu Niang did not do anything else. She was weaving tapestry silk to make palace flowers to avoid the limelight and keep a low profile. Zhuangzi went to the tavern and shared 200 taels of silver together. She also There is no shortage of money to use.
