Farmer's happy event

Chapter 65 Saving Money
Lianzi hurriedly explained: "Mother, this bank is really a good thing. Think about it, how many rich people in this town have deposited their money in the bank? I haven't seen anyone take the money and run away, so it's even more embarrassing." Give us some money."

Yang thought about it, but she was still worried.

"Oh, mother, I'm bothering Ning Qing, so don't worry, he will definitely not harm us." Lianzi said helplessly.

Yang believed this, and she also liked Ning Qing's child, so she definitely wouldn't have bad intentions.

Seeing that Mrs. Yang had stopped talking, Lianzi persuaded her again, and finally pushed Liu Jingren.

Liu Jingren thought for a while, and then said: "Mother, I think what Lianzi said is right, why don't we deposit the money in the bank."

"Yeah, I can still get interest!" Lianzi repeated the matter of interest.

Yang looked at Lianzi, then at Liu Jingren, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine, let's do it this way." But there was still a bit of worry on his face.

The snacks were sold out quickly, and after closing the stall, the three of them went to the place where the seeds were sold.

The newly purchased [-] mu of land was about to be planted, and Mrs. Yang went to the field to see it later, but she didn't hold much hope for the land.But my own family has already bought it, and others have plowed it, so there is absolutely no reason to stop it.Lianzi vowed again that she could fix it, so let her try.It didn't cost much to buy the land. Even if the soil is poor, if you plant a few crops, you should be able to pay back.

Lianzi persuaded Liu Jingren to plant soybeans in the field. Liu Jingren had grown crops for half his life, so he naturally knew that soybeans were not only easy to survive, but also raised the land, so he agreed.

When planting soybeans for the first time, it should not be too dense or too sparse.Lianzi reckoned that four catties of seeds would be enough for one mu of land.In this way, he bought [-] catties of bean seeds and spent half a penny.

Soybean field management is very easy, you only need to weed and catch insects in time.Lianzi was excited when she thought that the beans bought with this hanging money would be sold for 34 taels of silver after they were harvested in autumn.Although the money is not much, even less than she sells preserved fruit, but this is the love of Lianzi's heart, and doing it will give her a sense of belonging and accomplishment.

On the sixth day of March, Liu Jingren and Yang Shi took lotus seeds to the town again.The main purpose this time is to save money.

Originally, Lianzi thought that it would be fine to let Liu Jingren go, and let Yang Shi rest at home, but unexpectedly, Yang Shi would not follow her, and she had to see with her own eyes how her family's money was deposited to be at ease.

Liu Jingren was very aware of his wife's temper, so he had no choice but to take her along.

Lianzi knew that Ning Qing passed the market time in the morning, and only waited there for a short while before seeing Ning Qing coming, wearing the unique freshness of spring morning.

"It's really troublesome for you." Yang said with a smile.

Ning Qing also said with a smile: "Auntie, you are welcome." After speaking, she took them to Hongtong Bank.

This is the first time Lianzi has come to the bank.Not only lotus seeds, but also for Liu Jingren and Yang Shi.

It's a bit deserted inside, unlike other shops, there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

But the guys inside were very enthusiastic. When they saw them coming, they rushed out to greet them.

The guy didn't see the truth at first, but later he recognized Ning Qing, hurriedly let them in, and said, "Master Ning, why did you come here in person?"

The newly promoted Xie Yuan, of course he recognized it.The Ning family is a big customer of their Hongtong Bank. When the list was unveiled, their shopkeeper even went to the Ning family to give gifts.

Ning Qing smiled slightly and said, "This is my friend, I want to save some money here."

"Okay, no problem." The guy replied briskly, then looked at Liu Jingren and asked, "Brother, how much do you want to save? Live or dead?"

Liu Jingren hurriedly said: "About 400 taels." As for the current date or the death date, he didn't understand.

"Currently." Lianzi replied, she didn't have much in savings, and there were a lot of things at home, so she might need it at any time.

"Hey, okay." The guy said enthusiastically again, and went to the cabinet to find paper and pens.

Lianzi asked again: "How do you calculate the interest?"

Yes, this is also Yang's concern, so listen carefully immediately.

The guy said with a smile: "Miss, our current deposit is one tael, and the interest is one and a half pennies a month. Your 400 taels," he said, flipping the abacus in his hand, " A month is six hundred Wen."

Lianzi calculated in her mind that the interest rate is about [-]%, which is really low.But at this time, if the money bank can rise, it is considered good, and the low point should be low.

Yang and Liu Jingren were very happy when they heard that if they deposited their money in the bank, they could get a lot of interest if they didn't do any work for a month.

For a servant of a big family, the monthly salary is about this amount.When they didn't separate their families before, with Shen's diligence and thrift, half of the money was enough for the whole family to eat for a month.

"Okay then." Lianzi said, and sent the bag containing the money to the boy on the cabinet.

The clerk hurriedly took it, counted it, wrote it down in the book, wrote another note, and handed it to Liu Jingren who was standing aside.

After taking the note, both parties pressed their fingerprints, and the deposit was considered complete.Mrs. Yang asked some more questions, and the guy answered them enthusiastically.In short, the money saved is quite satisfactory.

The guy enthusiastically escorted them out of the door, watched them go far, and then re-entered the bank.

Yang Shi and Liu Jingren couldn't help but thank Ning Qing again.

"How about I treat you to dinner." Lianzi smiled.

Ning Qing looked at her cute childlike appearance at this time, and her heart was clear.

When he was saving money just now, seeing her as a child, she actually understood the truth of this better than Yang Shi and Liu Jingren, as if she had done this kind of thing before, he was really puzzled.

"No," Ning Qing said, "I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

"Alright then," Lianzi looked at her with deep frustration in her tone.

After saying goodbye to each other, Lianzi watched Ning Qing leave, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted to him: "I made strawberry preserves in a few days and sent them home for you."

Hearing this, Ning Qing turned around, smiled at him, and nodded slightly.

Lianzi watched him walk away, and then turned her head to Yang Shi and Liu Jingren and said, "How about we go to shopkeeper Dong to have a look?"

It was only mid-morning at this time, and it was not time for lunch, so I could just sit in the restaurant and then leave after lunch.

"Okay, let's go." Yang said.

From a distance, you can see the bustling crowds in front of the gate of "Fujulai".It seems that business is still going well.

After the renovation, the environment of the restaurant is high-end and upscale, and except for the higher cost of private rooms and drinks, the prices of meals are all affordable.In this way, can business be bad?Anyway, it costs the same money, so it's better to go to a better environment.

As soon as Liu Jingren arrived at the door, Liangzi saw him and hurried out to greet him.The shopkeeper has already explained that their situation today is thanks to this family surnamed Liu, and they can't do the thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge no matter what.

"Hey, Miss Lianzi is here too." Shunzi put on a playful smile.

Since the unhappiness with Lianzi happened last time, Lianzi always didn't like to talk to him, but he was always happy to please Lianzi.In all fairness, if he hadn't seen this little girl's temper last time, he would really think that this girl is very cute.

Shunzi helped them drive the carriage to the backyard and put it away, and let them go upstairs to talk to the shopkeeper.

When renovating the second floor, Lianzi deliberately set aside a room with desks and other things in it. The layout is similar to a study, and it is said to be the office of the shopkeeper Dong.

Dong Guishan would come over every morning to check how the ingredients and various supplies were prepared, and in the evening when the restaurant was about to close, he would check today's account and arrange for the staff to prepare the things to be used tomorrow.

Right now, when I was free, shopkeeper Dong was standing at the stairs of the hall on the second floor, looking down.

He thought all the time, if the business was as good as this every day, then it would be fine.

In fact, since its opening, the daily business has been really good.It may be because the early stage has been deserted and lost for too long, and shopkeeper Dong is afraid.

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. After a closer look, it turned out to be Lianzi. He hurriedly went downstairs to greet her with a smile.This little girl can't be neglected. Shopkeeper Dong has a premonition that maybe she can still bring more room for development to the restaurant in the future.

"Hey, why are you here? Hurry up, let's go up." He enthusiastically guided Liu Jingren and his wife and Lianzi up to the second floor, and at the same time told the waiters to serve good tea quickly.

Lianzi followed Dong Guishan to his office on the second floor, entered inside, and found a half-grown boy sitting inside.

The boy looked to be twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing an indigo satin cross-neck gown, a delicate belt embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns around his waist, and black boots on his feet. He was sitting in front of the desk and eating snacks. .

"Xiu Ning, come and meet the guests." Shopkeeper Dong said to the half-grown boy, and then to Lian Zi and the others, "This is my second child."

Seeing his father let him meet people, Dong Xiuning stood up slowly with a look of complete reluctance.

"This is Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu," Shopkeeper Dong introduced, pointing to Lianzi, "This is your sister Lianzi."

Only then did Dong Xiuning say: "Hello, Uncle Liu, and Aunt Liu." As for the lotus seeds, just ignore them.

"This child has been spoiled by his mother." Shopkeeper Dong was a little embarrassed because of the child's rudeness.

One look at Dong Xiuning, he might be another playboy, but he doesn't know how he is compared to Zhang Zihe.Lianzi didn't want to bother with this kind of brat, so she went to sit on the sofa beside the desk.

At the beginning, she suggested Shopkeeper Dong to buy a few sofa chairs of this kind. Shopkeeper Dong felt that these chairs were not like chairs, and the couch was not like a couch. The cost was still so high, and it was a waste of money.

Unexpectedly, after typing it out, the customers who came to the store liked it very much, especially when the tables in the hall were full, they were all willing to sit on the sofa and drink the free tea while waiting for a vacant seat vacate.In this way, the passenger flow has been stabilized.

Shopkeeper Dong and Lianzi were all talking about the restaurant, sometimes about the dishes, sometimes about the business strategy.Dong Xiuning was really not interested in these, so he went out to play.

After a while, Lianzi pulled Yang Shi and said, "Mother, it's time for us to go home."

How could shopkeeper Dong let them leave like this, wouldn't it appear that he was too stingy.

So he hurriedly got up and said: "Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to leave after eating."

"No, I'm so sorry." Yang said.

Shopkeeper Dong hurriedly said "where", then called a waiter in and told him to let the kitchen prepare meals.

Lianzi saw that she couldn't refuse, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble the shopkeeper."

In fact, she didn't intend to go back without eating.

It was meal time at this time, and all the private rooms were booked out. Even in the hall on the first floor, every table was full.

Shopkeeper Dong couldn't help it, so he had to ask the waiter to carry a table and put it in the office, and then the food and wine were served.

Of course, Lianzi and Yang just ate, while shopkeeper Dong and Liu Jingren enjoyed their drinks until both of them had a stuttering disorder, and then they ate under Yang's persuasion.

Dong Xiuning was also there during the dinner, but he was really not interested in this kind of occasion, so he just bowed his head and finished his meal before going out again.

After eating and talking for a while, Lianzi saw that it was getting late, so she asked Mrs. Yang to urge Liu Jingren to bid farewell to shopkeeper Dong before returning home.

Before leaving, shopkeeper Dong asked them to come here often, and when they came back next time, they would bring all the girls from the family over for a meal.
