Chapter 144 Making Money
Li Ji and his son were still drinking wine. After eating the pomegranates, they continued to sit by the stove and set up the dragon gate formation.

Li Rongzong talked about what he heard from his sister and shopkeeper Ding today about opening a shop in the city after the new year.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, "Opening a shop in the city? It costs a lot of money to open a shop in the city, right? Our family has so much money?"

Every time Pomegranate went to the city to deliver goods, the money she got back was given to Mrs. Song to keep, one after another. Mrs. Song was not good at calculating the accounts and never counted them. Anyway, after receiving the money, she locked it in the box. She doesn't know how much money she has now.

Pomegranate has an account in her heart of how much money there is.

The fifty taels of silver she first spent selling fructose prescriptions remained untouched. The six taels of silver that Wu returned and the three taels of silver that she received from selling arrowroot cake recipes, plus one tael of silver, were lent to the uncle for treatment. Not to mention.

The wooden gift box received more than twenty-eight taels of silver after excluding the cost. As for the goods delivered before and after the wooden box, excluding the cost and labor, the total amount was more than twenty-two taels.

A total of 80 packages of meat floss were delivered before and after. After excluding the cost, there was almost 60 taels of silver left. A total of 1,500 salted egg yolks were delivered, making nearly 2 taels of money.

All these added up, excluding the expenses of building the workshop and the expenses of raising food these days, their family currently has at least 140 taels of silver at the bottom of the box.

She had inquired about the market conditions of shops in the city, and found that a shop the size of a shop was the best in the area and could be bought for about forty taels, so the money in their hands was completely sufficient.

"The money must be enough. I was just about to tell my parents. Over the past few months, everyone in our family has worked very hard. No one has worked less to earn so much money. Dad, mother, and everyone else have If we have wages, should each of us keep a sum of wages in our hands and be able to decide what we want to buy and do by ourselves? What do you think?"

Li Jihe smiled immediately after hearing this and said, "It's up to you. You can do whatever you want. How much do you think you can do?"

"Let each person receive five daggers!" Pomegranate said.

Ms. Song exclaimed, "Why do you send so much?"

Shiliu smiled and said: "Not much, five ounces per person, and only thirty-five ounces for seven people. Our family now has more than 100 ounces of silver! It will be enough to save the money to buy a shop and build a new house after the new year. !”

"Our family now has more than one hundred coins?" When Leng Buding heard this amount, the head of the family, Li Jihe, was also shocked. He only heard from his family that there were many silver ingots locked in the box, but how many? The family didn't know about it, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that there were so many.

Their family is really good!
Li Jihe's heart became hot, and he couldn't help but think over the matter of inviting the statue of the God of Wealth back to offer it to him, and said cheerfully: "Then listen to Pomegranate, and each person will be given five hangings!"

In the past few months, even the youngest son has been busy all day, let alone other people. The younger daughter spends a day running around the city and outside the city, and the family and the eldest daughter have no time to prepare meals. When I have free time, my eldest son and my second son follow me to make wooden boxes, which is just as hard work. They only get nine qian for a month’s wages, and they get five taels for a few months, which is not much!
After Li Jihe spoke, Shiliu grinned and urged Mrs. Song to get the silver quickly, joking: "Mom, you can't figure it out, just bring out seven silver ingots! It's just right!"

Li Rongzong and the others were secretly excited and waiting to get the money. They didn't have a single copper in their hands. Now they could get five ounces of silver in their hands. It was a joy to think about it!
Ms. Song went to the main room with a smile. After a while, she came back with a bag of silver ingots in her apron, no more, no less, exactly seven, "Take a look at the pomegranate, right?"

Shiliu took out a silver ingot and showed it to her, "Mom, an ingot like this is one ounce of silver! Official silver is printed like this. There are larger ones with five ounces of silver per ingot, and there are also ones with ten ounces of silver per ingot. Yes, there are also twenty or fifty pennies each!”

Mrs. Song smacked her lips when she heard this, "How big is a silver ingot worth fifty pieces?"

Pomegranate smiled and said: "When our family has too much money to store it, I will exchange it for you with a silver ingot worth fifty cents per ingot, so that you can see with your own eyes how big it is!" Mrs. Song became happy, " Hey! Then I’ll be waiting!”

But she was thinking that when the God of Wealth statue was invited back, she would have to kowtow with three sticks of incense in the morning and evening, and let the God of Wealth bless her daughter to earn more money in a day than she could hold!

After that, the money started to be distributed. She gave the ingot in Pomegranate's hand to her, but took it back. Then she gave another ingot to Li Rongzong, Li Rongyu, Li Xiangli, and Li Rongzhang one by one.

There were two tablets left, but she hadn't even given one to Li Jihe. Li Jihe laughed happily and said, "You should keep mine too! You can buy whatever you want!"

Mrs. Song's smile suddenly turned into a flower.

Pomegranate joked next to her, "Dad, my mother is busy in and out of the kitchen all day long. She has never left the house and has nowhere to spend the money! You have to find time to take my mother to the city for a walk. ah!"

Li Jihe listened, thinking about it, and turned around and said to Mrs. Song, "If I have free time tomorrow, I will take you to the city to visit the jewelry shops, and you can also buy two pieces of jewelry you like!"

Mrs. Song laughed so hard that her face turned red and she kept nodding her head. Then she was surprised to realize that her husband was too close and her children were there. She hurriedly pushed him away and asked him to eat his mutton quickly.

The pomegranates all lowered their heads and snickered, pretending not to notice this.

After a moment, Li Rongzhang gave the silver ingot that he had warmed to Mrs. Song, "Mom, the second sister said that we can spend the money on whatever we want. I want to hand over the five ounces of silver to Xiu Xiu, okay?"

The annual period of correction in Fan's school is usually five hangings.

When Li Jihe saw his youngest son's behavior, he also expressed comfort in his heart, "Let your mother keep this money for you. When you want to use it, ask your mother for it. As for handing it over to Shu Xiu, your parents will hand it over to you, so you don't have to worry about it." "

Li Rongzhang insisted: "I just want to pay it myself. Anyway, I am still young and have nothing to do with the money."

Li Rongzong on the side couldn't help but said with embarrassment: "Just use my five ounces of silver for the betrothal gift to the Lin family. Mom can give me another ounce."

Li Rongyu looked at this and that, and was about to speak.

Li Jihe hurriedly said: "Okay, you keep your money yourself. You can buy whatever you want. If you don't have what you want, just save it. Whether you are marrying a wife or studying, you have parents to spend all these things on!" "

Pomegranate then laughed, "That's right, how come you don't have anything to buy? My sister-in-law will come in soon. Brother, if you want to buy something to eat and wear for your sister-in-law, why do you care about my mother's money? You have to save money in your hand, And Brother Zhang, if you give this money to Shu Xiu, you will always ask your mother to buy paper and pens when you go to school? "

After saying this, several people collected the money and stopped talking about taking it out.

After turning around and waiting for Li Jihe and the Song family to rest, Shiliu quietly gathered her brothers and sisters together and discussed spending money to buy a gift for her parents as a token of filial piety during the New Year. .

This proposal immediately received 100% approval from the brothers and sisters.
