Chapter 35

"Little girl, what's so fierce, be careful that you won't get married in the future." Tang Dazhuang glared at Qin Miao, then walked away slowly.

Qin Shaolian chased to the gate of the courtyard, shook his fist fiercely at Tang Dazhuang's back several times, and then closed the courtyard gate and entered the main room.Said to parents: "Dad, mother, we went to town today and bought a lot of things! One hundred catties of millet, one hundred catties of cornmeal, from now on our family will no longer have to eat chaff!"

When she heard that the three children had bought two hundred catties of fine grain on their own initiative, Mrs. Li was a little startled and looked at the children's father.

Qin Shaoxian hurriedly took out the money from his bosom: "Father, Mother, this is the money left over after buying food, and it's a total of 280 Wen."

"It's more than three taels of silver!" Mrs. Li couldn't believe her ears. You must know that all the family's wealth is only a little more than three taels of silver.

Seeing the surprise on her parents' faces, Qin Miao hurriedly said with a smile, "Father, mother, big brother is amazing! After selling all the things we pulled out today, we went shopping on the West Street of the town. The town is really lively. , My eyes can't see it."

Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to caress Qin Miao's head, with eyes full of joy, she said, "Your elder brother has been a good boy since he was a child. The gentleman who was educated at the time even praised him as a good student for studying." It's a pity that the eldest son was not long after he was educated. Then war broke out, and the good family had to leave their homes...

Qin Shaoxian knew that his mother remembered the past again, so he changed the topic: "I didn't expect the price of sweet potatoes and potatoes to be so good, eleven cents a catty."

"Really." Dad responded, "It's hard to eat a bite of vegetables now, and the seeds sent by the court are limited, and there are too few people who grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. Our family is lucky to have dug so many wild sweet potatoes and wild potatoes. .”

Qin Shaolian couldn't bear it anymore, and said loudly: "The price of eleven cents a catty is nothing, the fish and shrimp on the bullock cart next to us today are expensive. I heard from the accountant who received the goods that the price of fish is three cents per catty." Ten renminbi, shrimp is even more expensive, 35 renminbi per catty, tsk tsk, I don’t know where that person caught so many fish and shrimps.”

In the circles that Mrs. Li has been in contact with on a daily basis, thirty copper coins are already considered a lot of money. She roughly calculated, based on this price, how much money would it take to exchange that much for an ox cart?There are too many, some dare not think about it.

Because they made money, everyone's mood became very good, and the matter of Tang Dazhuang's visit to extort money during the day was turned over so lightly.

Mrs. Li took the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

There was no light in the main room, and it became pitch black, but it didn’t matter. Everyone sat in the darkness, chatting about what they had seen and heard in the town during the day, and planning ways to make money. The atmosphere became very joyful and relaxed for a while.

In his previous life, earning every copper coin seemed to be an extremely difficult task. Qin Shaoxian even planned to work as a clerk in a furniture store in the town in order to earn copper coins.But today, I went to the town, and I made more than four taels of silver in a short time. Everyone suddenly felt that maybe, making money is not as difficult as they thought before.

Mrs. Li finished the dinner and brought it to the main room to set it up. The oil lamp was brought back to the main room. Everyone gathered around the table and ate dinner happily.Perhaps it was to celebrate making a lot of money today. This dinner was cooked exquisitely by Li Shi. Millet porridge, thick noodle cakes, roasted wild pork with potatoes, and the bran cakes and wild vegetable soup that I used to eat every meal were eliminated from the table. up.
