A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 89 Counting Money

A man wearing a long indigo coat and a turban on his head was holding a little girl of about three years old, plucking her mouth and digging into her throat with his hands, trying to pull out the candy that was choking her.

 But after he dug for a while, not only could he not get out the candy, the little girl also rolled her eyes and was about to choke to death.

"Yuanyuan, mother Yuanyuan, nothing can happen to you." The woman who spoke was already crying. She kept patting the little girl's back, trying to get the candy out, but she couldn't spit it out. The woman cried even more fiercely. If the maid beside her hadn't supported her, the woman would have fainted and died.

The boy holding the lantern next to him hurriedly said: "Master, let's take the young lady to the hospital in the town quickly."

 They had just left the town, so it would be too late to turn back.

 “What nonsense are you talking about!” the man scolded, “It’s still too late for this and that.”

 He once saw someone choked, and the person died in less than half a quarter of an hour. Now Yuan Yuan has rolled his eyes. This place is at least a quarter of an hour's walk from the town. How can it be too late?

People around her gathered around and rolled their eyes when they saw the little girl being choked. They all said, "What a pity." Here and there she could still be saved.

The family was walking in front of Gu Jinli and the others. When the third grandfather saw the appearance of the little girl, he sighed: "Oh, what a sin, this little baby is probably going to die." In his life, he has seen many people choked to death. , they all ran out of breath very quickly and couldn’t be saved even if they wanted to.

“Third Grandpa, please wait for me for a while.” Gu Jinli ran over and said to the man in the house, “Uncle, give me your daughter.”

After saying that, while the man was stunned, he hugged the little girl and put her back against him. Her hands were folded and pressed against the little girl's abdomen, and she pressed hard against the little girl's upper abdomen. After repeating it for more than ten times, a piece of candy flew out of the little girl's mouth with a pop.

 “Wow—” The little girl finally managed to breathe and burst into tears.

“Yuanyuan, daddy’s Yuanyuan, it’s okay, it’s okay, don’t be afraid.” The man hugged the little girl, patted her back gently, and comforted her.

He then comforted the woman on the side: "Don't cry, our Yuanyuan is fine."

Seeing that the little girl was really fine, the woman finally stopped crying, walked around behind the man, looked at the little girl, and comforted her softly: "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, your parents are here."

The people watching nearby said: "Hey, he was really saved. What method was used?"

 In fact, the method is very simple. It is the most common Heimlich maneuver in modern times, which uses abdominal impact to flush out things blocked in the trachea.

But this method would take some time to explain. Gu Jinli hurried home and left after seeing that the little girl was fine.

By the time the couple thought of looking for someone, they could not find Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli and his party traveled all night, and it took nearly two hours before they got home.

Several families were awake, and they all gathered at Gu Jinli's house to wait for them. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they came back safely.

The third grandma hurriedly welcomed them in. As soon as she entered the house, she asked: "How about it, are the tofu and bean dregs cakes sold out?"

Mrs. Chen was the first to say: "It's sold out. It's sold out. You never know how popular our fried five-spice tofu and bean dregs cakes are? Everyone is rushing to buy them. There are still many people who haven't bought them. , let’s set up a stall tomorrow.”

Several families were very happy when they heard this.

The third grandma said: "As long as it is sold out, it will be good." She was also worried that she would not be able to sell all the tofu she had prepared, but in the end, it was all sold out, and there was not enough to sell.

Gu Dashan, Cui and Gu Jinxiu brought them **** soup and let them drink a bowl each.

It was freezing cold, and they had set up a stall to blow the cold wind all night. If they didn’t drink some **** soup, they would get sick. After Third Grandpa and the others drank a bowl of **** soup, they finally felt warm. Knowing that they wanted to know how much they sold in total, they said to Qin Sanlang and Luo's father: "Take out the bag with the money and let's count the money together. "

The third grandfather was old and was afraid that the thieves would steal so much money, so he divided the money into two bags and let Luo's father and Qin Sanlang, who were good at fists and kicks, hold them.

“Hey.” Qin Sanlang and Father Luo took out the big bags tied around their waists, and with a clatter, poured all the money on the table, pouring out a large pile.

When several families saw so many copper coins, their eyes lit up and they said in disbelief: "Why, how did you sell it for so much money?"

Chen's eyebrows and eyes were raised, and she said proudly: "This is still a small amount. If we prepare more tofu, we can sell it for more money."

The third grandfather pointed to the pile of silver on the table and said: "Assign a counter to each family to count the pile of silver and see how much we sold tonight."

 The seven families immediately sent one person from each family to start counting the copper coins on the table. It took a full quarter of an hour to finish counting, and then when the seven piles of silver were added up, everyone was surprised: "There are actually eleven, two, six hundred and forty coins."

 “Oh my god, is that really eleven taels?” Mrs. Chen knew they had made money tonight, but she didn’t know they had made so much. When she heard this number, she almost fainted.

Several families didn't believe there was so much money, so they counted it again, and the result was still eleven, two, six hundred and forty cents.

“There are really so many.” The third grandmother was shocked.

The Third Grandpa was very happy when he heard that he had made so much money, but he did not get carried away. Instead, he asked Gu Jinan next to him: "Brother An, have you done the calculation? Tell everyone the number."

“Eh.” On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, when they went to buy things, in addition to buying yellow paper, they also bought pen and ink. While everyone was counting money, Gu Jinan had already taken out pen and paper to count, calculating costs and profits.

This accounting thing was reminded and taught to him by Xiaoyu.

"We sold a total of four loads of tofu and two loads of bean dregs. Each load of tofu and bean dregs weighs eighty kilograms. One kilogram of tofu can make six servings of pan-fried five-spice tofu, which costs five cents each. Four loads should be sold for ninety-two, six hundred Wen, but we gave away tofu today, so we only have seven taels and two hundred wen of silver, which is a shortfall of two liang and four hundred wen."

"I didn't send the bean dregs cakes. One pound of bean dregs can make eight bean dregs cakes, and I will get three taels, eight hundred and forty coins."

“The rest is money from selling spice packs. One pack costs five cents. Buy two packs and get one free. We sold sixty packs and only got two hundred cents.”

Gu Jinan spoke very slowly, so everyone understood.

Mrs. Chen almost fainted when she heard this: "Oh, my God, I said you can't give it away, you can't give it away. Look, you are giving away more than two taels of silver for nothing, more than two taels of silver, my meat!"

"Shut up, why are you howling?" Gu Dagui scolded Chen: "What we make is fresh food. If we don't give it away, how can anyone dare to buy it?"

Of course Ms. Chen knew this, but she still felt pain in her heart, feeling like a large piece of her heart had been cut out.

Several family members were also very distressed, but they knew that there was nothing they could do about it. After feeling distressed, they let it go.

Eleven taels, six hundred and forty cents was just gross profit. After Gu Jinan calculated the cost for them, he said: "We spent a total of six taels, two hundred and fifty cents to set up this tofu stall. After deducting the capital, we made a net profit tonight Five taels, three hundred and ninety articles.”

And his family accounts for 40% of the tofu business, which can be divided into two hundred and twenty-five cents, and the other 60% is divided equally among the six families: "Uncles and aunts, each of your families can get five hundred and thirty-nine cents. "
