Chapter 13: The First Pot of Gold
At night, the Qin family ......
The atmosphere in the room was a little thick, and the three of them sat together, staring intently at the row of small things placed on the table, although no one spoke, but there was obvious fanaticism in their eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"This ...... Is this really ours? ā
Qin Baozhen curled up her hands and picked up the table like a kitten, revealing only one head outside.
On the table in front of her, a row of small silver ingots was neatly arranged. Each of them had five taels, adding up to thirteen.
This is all the result of Qin Lu's labor today. I don't know if it's because the street brawl attracts attention, or because summoned beast babies are really rare, or because the imperial examination competition inadvertently helped him.
In short, Qin Lu's work to sell summoned beast babies went very smoothly. As soon as the little snake charm moved the fish basket over, someone came and bought the two baby frogs.
The base of people in the bazaar is very large, and there is an endless stream of martial artists who are interested in it, and in the end, Qin Baozhen simply put away his grocery stall and ran over to help Qin Lu start a business.
In less than two hours, ten summoned beasts were sold out. Qin Lu, who tasted the sweetness, took Qingqing to the East Bay again, ready to make another profit. It's a pity that the hurricane came suddenly and disappeared quickly. By the time the two arrived, the little ones had disappeared into the sand, leaving not even a footprint.
Despite this, Qin Lu still made a lot of money today. Ten summoned beasts, plus the emergency price increase later, he actually earned sixty-five taels of silver at once!
Setting up a stall in Nancheng, Qin Baozhen only earns fifty or sixty copper coins a day. One tael of silver is about equal to a thousand dollars, and Qin Lu's income today is more than a thousand times that of hers!
This is not a small amount, and Datang's silver is quite valuable. In Jianye City, ten copper coins can buy a bucket of rice, and one tael of silver can buy a hundred buckets. Ten buckets is one stone, about more than 50 kilograms. In other words, one tael of silver can buy more than 1,000 catties of rice.
According to the current price of rice at two yuan a catty, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is equivalent to two thousand yuan in the future market. Sixty-five taels of silver is about 130,000.
With such a large number, it's no wonder that Qin Baozhen has become like this!
"Humph! Your brother and I are out of the horse, what do you want! ā
Thinking that all this silver was blown by the strong wind, Qin Lu got a little carried away.
130,000! Even in the later life, Qin Lu couldn't make so much money in one day. But now, he only sat in the East Bay for a short time, and he didn't even move his hand, and he made a lot of money in vain.
Silver, silver! How do you earn so well?
Hahahaha!
Qin Lu smiled extremely proudly on the side, but unexpectedly, Qin Baozhen on the side was breathing more aggravated, and gradually changed his face.
"I don't care, they're all mine!"
Holding all the silver in her arms, the little girl said with red eyes: "No one will try to snatch it from me, I declare!" I'll sleep with them after that! ā
"Huh?"
Qin Lu was dumbfounded for a moment, and stammered: "No, this is our start-up capital, and I'm going to take it tomorrow to buy something!" ā
"No! No one can move! ā
Qin Baozhen turned around decisively, leaving only a back for Qin Lu.
"I'm going to lock them up and keep them for my brother's exam!"
seemed to be worried that Qin Lu would snatch her silver, and as soon as the words fell, Qin Baozhen stuffed the ingots into her arms, curled up and hid in the back of the chair, and she was desperate if anyone dared to snatch the silver.
How can this dead girl still be a miser!
Qin Lu's good mood disappeared in an instant. He is familiar with Qin Baozhen's character, he knows very well that as long as his sister makes a decision, others will not want to change it. The little girl has been stubborn since she was a child, and she didn't change it back when her parents were there, let alone her brother, who was not competent at all.
"Baozhen, listen to me tell you! This money really can't be saved......"
"I don't listen, I don't listen! They're mine anyway! Even my brother can't take it away! ā
Qin Baozhen simply covered her ears, and her little head shook like a rattle.
This time, not only Qin Lu's egg hurt, but the little snake Mei Qingqing was also depressed.
"My bun ......"
The summoned beasts exchanged for silver were all caught by the little snake charm one by one, and even transported to the market in Nancheng District, it was also her credit. And the reason why she does these jobs is all in Qin Lu's guarantee of "I make money, I will let you eat until you can support it".
But now, all the money has been snatched away by the female head. Seeing that the promise could not be fulfilled, the little snake charmed Qin Lu anxiously and gave Qin Lu a look, and almost didn't cry.
"I said, what are you doing with the money! I'm not going to take the imperial examination! ā
Qin Lu is extremely helpless, Qin Baozhen is now a coquettish little girl. finally got a little closer, and he didn't dare to teach a lesson with a straight face, so he had to be as patient as possible, trying to persuade his sister to give up the more than sixty taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Baozhen heard that he was not going to take the exam, he actually stood up from the chair with a slam.
"Don't participate in the imperial examination? Why! ā
Like her dead father, Qin Baozhen pinned all her hopes on her brother.
Qin Lu only knew how to read dead books before, and she did have a lot of complaints. But now, Qin Lu has become a mature and stable person, who knows that he feels sorry for himself, and he can even make a lot of money.
Qin Baozhen didn't have the slightest guilt for him in her heart, and at the same time, the idea of wanting Qin Lu to get ahead and hoping for her brother Jackie Chan appeared in her mind again.
My brother suddenly said that he would not participate in the imperial examination, which was no less than a seven-magnitude earthquake for her, and instantly made her forget about the silver.
"No why, it's such a waste of time, I'm ready to abandon literature and start business!"
Qin Lu didn't know how to explain, scratched his head and said, "Look, there are only the two of us left in the family......"
"And me?!"
The little snake said angrily.
"Uh...... Well, there are three left! Is there any difference between three and two? You are all women, it's not good to show your heads all day long, Uncle Lin is so old again...... In my opinion, it's better for me to come out and help the family earn some extra money, than to be miserable and not even have food to eat! ā
While persuading her sister with great pains, Qin Lu secretly gestured with the little snake charm. The latter was constantly tugging at his clothes, and his two white fingers were biting into his mouth, as if prompting him to buy steamed buns to eat.
"No, I don't agree!" Qin Baozhen was so anxious that she didn't even care about the silver falling out, and grabbed Qin Lu's arm tightly, "Brother gave up writing and engaged in business, how do you let me explain to my dead father!" My mother will never agree to you doing this! ā
