Su Manman and Su Zhongwen picked up the book, and Su Manman found a copy of "Dai Ze's Travels" in the pile of books, which not only recorded the scenery of various places, but also some customs and stories of various places, which was very interesting, so he held it in his arms.
Su Zhongwen found a translation of the great Confucian Jia Sizhe that he had never seen before, and picked it up as well.
Both siblings found the book they were looking for and were quite satisfied.
Called Xiao Er to come over to the counter to pay the bill, these things cost three hundred taels of silver, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Su Man bought cost more than two hundred, which shows that Fanghua Academy is worthy of being a royal academy.
Su Manman didn't want to be too different, so she swooped to buy some cheap paper and pencils or something, although she was so frugal, she was afraid that she would have to accept the strange eyes of the whole academy on the first day of school.
Getting through the four years smoothly is what she wants.
No matter what kind of people they are, the best or the worst, they will attract strange eyes, which is not her original intention.
The brother and sister each carried a bunch of things and walked out, when suddenly a reckless boy rushed in from outside the door and knocked their things to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to bump into you!" the skinny boy apologized.
"It's okay this time, but next time you bump into someone else, you have to be careful. Su Zhongwen habitually took out the set of educating his sister.
When the boy heard someone reprimanding him, his eyes turned red.
Su Manman took a look, what kind of kid is this, it's obviously a little girl, and her ears and eyes are still exposed!
"Don't be angry, my brother is usually a little more serious, he is a very good person. We're still fine, if the next time we collide with a nobleman, it's not fun, my brother means this, don't be surprised. ”
Hearing that it was not to discipline herself, the person in front of her was kindly reminded, and the little girl looked up. When he saw Su Zhongwen, his face turned red, this person is so good-looking, and his heart is really good.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just me who is wrong. ”
Su Zhongwen reacted at this time, and his tone was heavier: "I'm sorry, it's me who is a little heavier, I don't have any malicious intent." ”
I don't know what I thought, but the little girl's face turned even redder.
Out of the Moyan Pavilion, Su Zhongwen said: "I don't know which family's son-in-law, how can he be like a little girl, a girl chirping." ”
Su Manman covered her mouth and snickered, isn't she just a little lady? But she didn't tell her brother, just let him misunderstand, saying that her brother would be embarrassed, she was a good sister who was considerate.
**************
"Dawn, what are you doing at the door, what are you running so fast?" an older boy walked in.
The little girl dressed as a young man named Chenxi waved her hand again and again: "It's okay, my brother is fine." ”
This disguised appearance makes people suspicious at first glance.
The boy glanced into the shadows, and someone immediately went to investigate.
"Let's go inside, it's weird outside. ”
"Hmm. The girl reluctantly glanced out, and then followed her brother into the store.
After that, the boy received a secret report, saying that his sister had collided with a pair of siblings, and there was no conflict. My sister has always been timid, and it is common for her to be a little out of shape, so the boy forgot about it.
*************
The girl was going to study, and Li led her daughter to the embroidery village to make two sets of clothes, although Su Manman said that the academy would issue college uniforms, but Li felt that he usually didn't wear them?
It is not easy to live in the capital, it costs money to go out, and it costs money to eat and drink, when buying a house, Su Zhengli specially looked at the back garden of this courtyard, there is a well in it, otherwise you have to buy water.
Su Manman would hear the sound of shouting outside every morning, "Sell sweet water, sweet water", a bucket of sweet water costs five yuan, and it will cost one hundred and fifty yuan a month, and this is just drinking water.
The water for washing clothes and vegetables has to be picked elsewhere, and there are those who don't want to go far away to pick up and can only buy water, and the cost of a month is even more expensive, not to mention the daily vegetables, rice and noodles, they can't produce their own homes, and every move requires silver.
Li once secretly complained to her husband: "In addition to the money to buy a house, I don't count all kinds of things, my daughter's book expenses, and daily life, and I spent five hundred taels less, and I don't have much money on hand!"
"Open the back garden to grow some vegetables, wait for me to send a letter to the family, and then go back and let the family bring some food. Su Zhengli also felt that he was strapped for money, and he read a few good books that he couldn't put down, but a few hundred taels were gone, and the money was like running water.
Regarding the financial situation of his parents, Su Manman has a clear heart, and they have saved more than 3,000 taels in their hands over the years. This is a lot of money in Qi County, but in the capital, it is a small and medium-sized family, and it is not even a medium-sized household.
If you live in the capital for half a year, you will spend more than you earn, and it is impossible to just point to the dividends on the Zhuangzi.
Su Manman put the idea on the head of the color, and now this color is her money-making machine, the things are good, and she doesn't worry about selling or worrying about the source of goods, and many people in the capital have heard of its name.
Although it is not as famous as the brands "Tianzi" and "Yayun" in the Di newspaper, the market is not small, and the purchasing power of the capital cannot be underestimated.
"Daddy, I'll discuss something with you!"
Li Shi immediately covered her purse: "I won't ask for money again!" She is now afraid of spending money, like a frightened bird.
"No, no, on the contrary, there is a profitable business. Su Manman shook his head and said.
"Don't drag the text, say something quickly. Su Zhengli was also amused.
"Now I also have a general understanding of the situation at home, the price of the capital is too high, and the money earned can't keep up with the speed of spending, but the source can't solve the problem, and it can only alleviate the loss of money at home a little, so it can only be open source. ”
"What's an open source method?"
The Li family is now overwhelmed by the things in front of him, and there was no expense for a large family to live together in the past, but he knew that it was not easy to live alone.
"You know what Uncle Fourth has been selling, and it's the one I came up with. Now that the fourth uncle has a stable supply there, we might as well rent a shop to sell rouge gouache, and my mother knows that the effect is very good, and she doesn't worry about sales at all. ”
"This is a method, you can't buy a shop first, rent a place to try. Don't rent anything too good, we are blind to the capital, and the forces around the country don't understand, open a small shop to revitalize the family's money first, and then talk about the rest. "Su Zhengli has always been meticulous, and he will never do anything to attract the wind.
"Then I'll ask my sister-in-law, she has also had a bit of industry in her hands over the years, and she knows more than us about where to open a shop and where to burn incense. ”
Su Manman saw that the two parents discussed it in a measured manner, covered his mouth and snickered, he couldn't underestimate the parents' action at all! )
