Chapter 11 Borrowing money
Han Mei said the same number, the more she talked, the more excited she became, she liked baking before, and then she specially picked two summer vacations and learned a few tricks from the baker. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiao Yue on the side rubbed his brows and said coldly: "Are you sure we have the money to buy these ingredients now, even if we can get the money, then the question now is whether we can buy these ingredients?" ”
Han Mei's blood was poured into her heart and she sighed.
"You're right, we can't keep up with the changes in our plans now, and after all that, those copper plates in the house are really not enough to spend. Now figure out where to get the money? ”
Xiao Yue frowned, and truly realized the sorrow of a penny that was difficult for a hero, what should he do now?
Han Mei hurriedly said, "Why don't we borrow money?" There are a few copper plates in the neighborhood, and a few copper plates can always be borrowed. ”
Xiao Yue shook his head: "Look at the people who do business on this street, but there are a few rich people who do business honestly, but Ximenqing is rich, you dare to borrow it?" ”
"Cut!" Han Mei pursed her lips, "I'm going to borrow money from him now, and I have to shed my skin if I don't die." ”
"Or go to Chen San to borrow money?" Han Mei mentioned a person's name, Chen San is a well-known dividend in Yanggu County, but the interest is a little bigger.
"Loan shark?" A cold feeling sank between Xiao Yue's eyebrows, "If you fall into the trap of usury, we both have to pay for it!" ”
"Find those brothers of your brother to borrow," Han Mei thought of another person, "Your brother's ten taels of silver have been eaten and drunk, and it is most natural to borrow their money." ”
Xiao Yue showed a touch of embarrassment: "When I just asked Fourth Uncle Zhang to borrow pen and ink, I had already inquired about my brother's situation, this time my brother took someone to the capital on an errand, and he took away a few of his good friends on weekdays." ”
Han Mei collapsed directly to the ground: "Then what should I do?" If you don't want to borrow some money from Uncle Zhang, I think the neighbor Uncle Zhang and his family are not bad. ”
Xiao Yue nodded: "You wait for me, I'll go and pay back the pen and ink to the fourth uncle first, and then mention the stubble of the borrowed money." ”
After Han Mei hurriedly got up and sewed the clothes on Xiao Yue's body that she had accidentally torn, she patted Xiao Yue on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ask a few more families, and borrow as much as you can." ”
Xiao Yue nodded, Han Mei was not at ease and advised: "Don't say that we buy ingredients to make new snacks, just say that our family's mansion is going to be rented, and we want to tidy it up." After renting out, you can pay back the money, and you can give them an IOU. ”
Xiao Yue nodded: "Heh! I believe you, Brother Xiao, it's absolutely no problem, I can't borrow money? You are waiting for my good news! ”
Han Mei made a cheering gesture at Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue hurriedly turned around and walked out of the attic. Now it's not a question of whether they can complete the task, but whether the two of them can survive in this world, and the key is that the bastard system doesn't even give them a golden finger. And once something happens, it's a real death!
Han Mei took advantage of Xiao Yue's outing, and found half a bag of barley, a small bag of millet noodles, and a few green onions in the back kitchen of the Wu family, which were probably the ingredients for Wu Da's cooking cakes.
She opened the bag and saw that it was mixed with some millet skin, this was not the kind of finely processed flour at all, the wheat could be ground into flour with a stone mill, she was busy looking for a stone mill, and thankfully there was this thing.
She now understands how much Zhang Dahu should have hated Jin Lian'er at the beginning, so he gave her half of her marriage and half of it to such a poor family as Wuda.
There was a knock on the door of the hall, and Han Mei hurriedly greeted Xiao Yue, and swept the snowflakes that fell on his body with a small broom.
Xiao Yue's expression paused, his face had turned blue and purple. His lips trembled slightly, and a touch of complexity flashed in his eyes when he looked at Han Mi.
He regarded Han Mi as a brother, but he never thought of staying in a certain place with Han Mi for the rest of his life. But the action of Han Mei sweeping the snowflakes off his body with a broom just now inexplicably made him feel warm.
He is now wearing a linen shirt, and his whole person is shivering from the cold, and occasionally Han Mei cares so much about an action, he still feels very useful.
"How? Got it? Han Mei looked at Xiao Yue with beautiful eyes, her face full of anticipation.
Xiao Yue turned his face away in embarrassment and said: "Seeing that it is winter, this first snow makes it more difficult to do business on the street." It's not easy for each family, and I ran to several houses in a row......"
"What's going on?" Han Mei only cares about the result now, and if he can't think of a way to make money, let alone complete the task. She and Xiao Yue had to starve to death here, which was particularly sour.
Others cross either rich and noble families or make a fortune little experts, either surrounded by beautiful men, or groups of beautiful women, or the sparkling golden fingers, go out and go up the mountain to pick up a treasure to sell for money.
Why is it the two of them so sad? If you starve to death in the first snow in Yanggu County, you will be embarrassed to tell the underworld Yan Jun that you are a traverser in the future.
"You speak! Did you borrow any money? Han Mei twisted Xiao Yue, who was a little wooden.
"What are you doing! Don't move your hands and feet! Xiao Yue moved his low body, rubbed his hands, took out the blanket around his waist, and poured out a handful of copper plates from it.
Han Mei took the count, and suddenly her face became ugly: "Uncle Zhang's family borrowed it, right?" ”
Xiao Yue nodded: "Only Fourth Uncle Zhang is willing to borrow, and the rest of the families are not having a good time!" ”
Han Mei gritted her teeth and suddenly smiled bitterly: "There are a total of twenty copper plates, they are treating us as beggars." ”
Xiao Yue has never encountered this kind of thing, he is used to the life of the rich second generation, and his previous pocket money is in tens of thousands, and he never thought that there would be such an embarrassing life.
"That's not enough!" Han Mei sat down at the table in frustration.
"Or keep selling cookcakes! Let's save up some more money, and when we have saved enough, we will sell your new style of dim sum, what do you think? ”
The stubbornness in Han Mei's heart at this time was forced out, and she settled down and went straight to the attic and took out a silver hairpin she had bought before.
The silver hairpin is shabby, and it looks a little old.
Xiao Yue looked at the silver hairpin that Han Mei was holding and hurriedly held it down: "This is what your mother gave you, is it crazy?" ”
Han Mei sneered: "! I'm Han Mei now, you really think I'm Jin Lian'er! I went to the pawnshop to take care of things, and the leather case you saved up to help me make last year was also pawned, Lao Tzu does not believe in evil. I can't make any money this time, you sold me!! ”
Xiao Yue wanted to stop him, but Han Mei pushed him away, and smiled at him: "These are all things outside the body, now it is imperative that we earn some money to survive this winter." When your brother comes back from the capital next year, we will be able to raise our eyebrows, and when the time comes, whoever bullies us will write it down for him, and let your brother come back and knock them to death with a stick! ”
