Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 15 Preliminary Finalization
When the family members go to the town to do odd jobs during the slack season, they can earn three to four hundred yuan a month. The sum of several laborers can make do with one or two silver coins, but there is not much time to do work all year round. It's definitely not more than ten taels of silver!

"But, can you sell as many as fifty skewers a day?" Mrs. Zhao asked suspiciously.

Luo Jinxiu glanced at her, "Our family ate more than a dozen skewers in a short period of time, how many people are there in the town? It takes a whole day to sell, fifty skewers a day is underestimated, according to my estimate , at least one hundred to two hundred strings should be sold every day."

"Hiss—!" There were several gasps from around, and everyone's eyes were about to glow green, and even Yun Chengyao, who had always maintained himself as a scholar and put on airs, showed obvious emotion on his face.

If relying on these mountain red skewers, the family can really earn more than 100 yuan a day, and three taels of silver a month, and he can get more money to make contacts when he returns to the academy.

For example, the Zhang family and the Zhao family immediately thought that once the family became rich, their son would have enough dowry money to marry a wife with good conditions!Yuncheng Zu Yunchenghui's thinking is a little shallower, he only thinks that with the money he can buy more meat and eat better every day.

Regardless of the reason, I have to say that everyone in the Yun family was firmly attracted by the big cake that Luo Jinxiu drew for them, and they were even planning how to spend the money after earning it.

Seeing their expressions getting more and more exuberant, Luo Jinxiu was caught off guard and poured cold water on them.

"However, Shanlihong fruits are not available all year round. If you want the sugar solution to dry and have a better taste after being coated with sugar solution, it needs to be when the weather is cooler or even cold, so you can really make a living. The time period is about autumn and winter, adding up to three or four months."

The expressions of everyone in the Yun family froze instantly, and the old lady Li Shuxiu, who was also thinking about how to make good use of the unearned money, also frowned fiercely.

The one-year profit suddenly shrank to three or four months, and anyone would feel dissatisfied. Knowing that this had nothing to do with Luo Jinxiu, the old lady glared at Luo Jinxiu angrily, and her ecstatic expression also restrained a little. .

"Three or four months is three or four months." The old man Yun who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "It's always a good thing to have such an extra job to make money for the family. Jing Hao's family, you can think of such a way. It's kind of heartfelt."

Others felt a little reconciled, but they also knew that there was nothing they could do. Instead of worrying about those who were destined not to get it, they might as well pick more wild fruits and start making a living.

This means that the money is not really earned at this moment, otherwise these people would never let it go so easily.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Selling one hundred bunches a day, how many fruits do you have to pick? It takes at least six or seven hundred fruits to make one bunch!"

Zhao said: "Actually, six or seven hundred pieces sounds like a lot, but I guess it's only one or two baskets after picking them up. Compared with this, I feel that this is the season when this kind of wild fruit grows. Pay attention to stocking up more goods, so that if you want to sell them after the season, you won’t be able to pick the fruits.”

"Second sister-in-law is right!" Mrs. Wang repeatedly echoed, and the others nodded in agreement.

To make a living, pre-preparation is essential. Picking fruit requires hands, and firewood also needs a lot of preparation. The rock sugar needed to make candied haws also needs to be bought. The leftovers at home are not enough. Finally, Who should bring the finished product to sell, whether the price should be two pennies or three pennies, and many other issues, which caused the Yun family to discuss and argue for a long time.

Don't look at Luo Jinxiu as the initiator, but when it comes to discussions, she really doesn't have much say. When allocating manpower, the old lady Li Shuxiu subconsciously asks her to do the most tiring and troublesome tasks of picking fruit and handling fruit cores. However, the task of selling things has three wives from the Zhang family, the Zhao family and the Wang family vying to do it.

After all, this is a job where you can get money directly, so there must be money in it!

Just when they were arguing, Mr. Yun slapped the table unhappily and said, "What do you women look like when you go out to show your face!"

The three of them silenced for a moment and looked at each other. As Dafang's elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang took the lead after a while and said, "Father, it's not that we want to fight, but it's just that the harvest is approaching. Can't get rid of the body, making a living is a big deal, we can't let these ignorant juniors in the family do it, it would be bad if there is a mistake."

This is quite true.

For the country people, no matter what kind of sideline business they have, the production in the field is the most important thing for them. The old man will not agree to let the three main laborers in the family do this job, and the younger generation, Yun Chengyao He is a scholar, so naturally he can't get this smell of copper. The others are still a little younger, and they can't hold back the situation. If they really encounter some trouble, they are really afraid that they may not be able to handle it.

Old Master Yun pondered for a while, then shook his head, "You can't all go, you all went, who will do the housework? Who will cook and deliver meals for the boss and the others? Besides, Guang Fu Taoist family went to the town to make a living. There might be no trouble."

On the one hand, the Zhao family and the Wang family felt that what the father-in-law said was reasonable, but on the other hand they were still unwilling to let go of this opportunity to save money for their private house.

But at this moment, Luo Jinxiu, who had been watching the theater, said Shi Ran: "Then why not let Jing Hao and I go, Jing Hao is much older than his cousins, and he has been out for a few years. After some time in the world, I can survive some troublesome things. When I do business, I will definitely sell them in the street. Aunt and Aunt are the elders. It’s not good to trouble you with such things. It just so happens that I started this business , why don't you just let me work hard."

Dafang Yun Xiaoting rolled her eyes angrily, and hummed in a grotesque voice, "What you said sounds good, why don't you work hard, I think you want to take this job to yourself so that you can earn it secretly money."

As soon as the words were finished, Li Shuxiu, Zhang Shi and the others glared at Luo Jinxiu with sharp eyes, and they also believed that she had this evil idea.

"If you don't trust me, you can add one more person, and the three of you can go together and supervise each other." Facing the questioning eyes of the members of the Yun family, Luo Jinxiu was very calm, "There are plenty of candied haws skewers that are ready. , I know how much money I can earn back, and I will definitely find out if there is less money."

When everyone thinks about it, it seems to make sense!

The Zhao family, the Wang family, etc. who wanted to be greedy for cheap things felt guilty in their hearts. They really wanted to take advantage of it. They could find some excuses to get a few pennies, but they couldn't say it clearly. Exchange a knowing glance, then remain silent.

The old lady Li Shuxiu pondered for a while, and felt that Luo Jinxiu's idea was good.

The old lady also had calculations in her heart, it's one thing not to like this eldest granddaughter-in-law, but since this girl can think of making a living, she should have some skills, as long as the money she earns is handed over to her obediently, let Luo Jinxiu go shouting So what's the harm in getting up early and greedy in the evening to go to work?

The only question is, "If Jing Hao also goes to the town to sell this wild fruit skewer, what about hunting?" This is the only chance for the family to eat meat every day. Without the family, they can only eat some pickled vegetables or It's wild vegetables and mushrooms.

When it came to his rations, Yun Chengzu and Yun Chengji's juniors cheered up immediately, "That's right! Brother Da Tang is also in charge of hunting!"

They still pay more attention to the meat they eat than the money they earn and can't reach their own hands!
Yun Jinghao said without showing any emotion: "I can go to the mountains earlier in the morning and go to the town to sell candied haws skewers for a whole day. If I come back early in the afternoon, I can go to the mountains again. There will be no delay after all. Come back to hunt some wild animals."

"Those game meats can't be sold for a lot of money to improve the food for the family. If they really can't get enough weight, then selling a few more bunches of candied haws can also make up for the loss." Luo Jinxiu also helped her man speak.

The old lady agreed with this statement, looked around at the Sanfang people, and finally clicked on Mrs. Wang and said: "Then when the time comes, the old Sanfang's family, you can go to the town with them, and sell them Leave the matter to the two of them, and keep an eye on it."

As for what to stare at, needless to say, everyone present knew it well, money!
Wang's heart was overjoyed, and she patted her chest and promised: "Mother, don't worry, it will definitely be the same when the time comes!"

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao were not reconciled, and wanted to join in, but their mother-in-law had already spoken, and they didn't dare to talk back, so the matter was tentatively settled.

There is no need for Luo Jinxiu to urge, everyone in the family is very concerned about making money. From the next day, the old lady asked Zhang to take the lead, and brought Yun Xiaoting and Yun Xiaoyan to the mountain to pick as much red as possible. spare.

Luo Jinxiu and Yun Qianqian were left at home to do housework, while Yun Chengzu and Yun Chengji were sent to the town to buy some rock candy.

When begging for the money to buy candy, the old lady had a heartache on her face, but thinking of getting it back several times or even dozens of times in the future, she temporarily suppressed her stingy thoughts.

Yun Jinghao still goes hunting in the mountains every day, but the real hunting time only takes up a small part, and the rest of the time is used to help Luo Jinxiu find and pick valuable ingredients such as white fungus, bamboo fungus and matsutake, and follow the instructions at the place where they eat small stoves. What she taught is to simply process these ingredients to ensure that they can be stored for as long as possible.

Even so, the harvest in a few days was not as much as Luo Jinxiu expected.

She thought it was a bit too beautiful before. Dictyophora and matsutake are okay, and the number is relatively more, but there are really not many white fungus. Every day, Yun Jinghao can find two or three flowers, and as few as one. Or not at all, and the storage time of this thing itself is short, if you pick it up too early, if you don't sell it in the town quickly, it will not be worth it if it is not fresh enough!
In order not to waste the ingredients that Yun Jinghao found, Luo Jinxiu also hurriedly made preparations for selling candied haws. Not only did he have to remove the pits from the picked Shanlihong, but he also had to prepare wooden sticks for stringing Shanlihong.
