Chapter 144

When Gu Jiujiu went back, there was no one in the yard.She took the pork bought from the butcher's shop in the market and put it away in the stove, and as soon as she went out, she saw Sister Yuan walking out of Brother Yan's room on short legs.

"Sister, did you buy candied haws for me?" Sister Yuan saw that Gu Jiujiu was back, her eyes lit up first, and then she looked at her and asked with a smile.

"I bought it." As Gu Jiujiu said, she gave some strings of candied haws wrapped in oil paper to Sister Yuan. Brother Yan, who writes in Chinese, sent a bunch of them over.

After eating the candied haws, Gu Jiujiu put the 650 taels silver ticket back from the inn today on the table for everyone to see.

When Yan saw the number written on the bank note, she was stunned subconsciously, "Xiao Jiu, where did you get this money?" This was the first time Yan saw so much money.

"The shopkeeper of the inn gave it to me." Gu Jiujiu smiled, "Last time, I told the shopkeeper how to make dried meat, and the shopkeeper promised me the profit from selling the dried meat at the inn every month Give me [-]% of it. Today is just a month since I told the shopkeeper about the jerky, so I went to get the money back."

"So, the [-]% profit of that jerky a month is so much?" After hearing what Gu Jiujiu said, Yan still felt a little unbelievable.

"That's right." Gu Jiujiu said, looked at Yan Shi and continued: "It's not just that, the shopkeeper's business is good, and he has made a lot of money. Next month, the shopkeeper will spend more money in the market. Open an inn. At that time, I will get a lot more profit than this time."

"That's great." Hearing what Gu Jiujiu said, Yan couldn't help but said happily: "If this is the case, we will have saved thousands of taels of silver in that year."

Sister Yuan, who was sitting on the side, also smiled happily after hearing Yan's words.

Now, they have so much money, after thinking about it, Gu Jiujiu looked at Yan Shi with a smile and said: "Mother, I decided to use this money to renovate our house, and we will also repair it into a spacious and clean house. Brick and tile house, when the time comes, you can prepare a separate study for Brother Yan, or a separate room for Sister Yuan, what do you think?"

"Okay, mother also thinks it's good." Yan Shi agreed with Gu Jiujiu's idea as soon as she heard it. Although this thatched house can barely live in, it is not as comfortable as that brick house.

Gu Jiujiu talked a few more words with Yan about house repairs. Villagers in the village would go to the yamen to ask the magistrate for instructions when repairing houses.However, Shen Kuo was working in the yamen, and it would not be troublesome for him to ask the county magistrate for instructions.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yan Shi asked Gu Jiujiu to put away the cash on the table, and she went to cook in the kitchen.

There was fresh pork in the stove, Yan Shi cut a small piece and cooked it in the pot.

After the meal was ready, before they started eating, Gu Jiujiu and grandma brought a basket of fresh river prawns.

Yan accepted the river prawns brought by Zhu, then looked at her and asked, "Mother, have you had your lunch yet? If you haven't eaten, you can just sit down and eat something."

"Eat." Mrs. Zhu looked at Mrs. Yan, "Your eldest brother is taking care of himself, and your sister-in-law cooks early every day. I came here after lunch."
