Chapter 172: Guilt
The reason why Li Yao said conversion is because the profit of bean sprouts is not only silver, but also rice, beans and wheat. Recently, due to the cold weather and lack of vegetables, the sales of bean sprouts have increased. This month, she made a profit of nearly four taels of bean sprouts. It is expected to rise steadily in the future.
Five tun 1,000 households plus nearby villages, as well as such a large consumer group as the county seat, if you can't earn this number, it will be too unacceptable.
Although bean sprouts are the same price as tofu, they are generally nutritious as tofu, so some people are willing to buy it when they know about it. Not only does it weigh more than tofu per catty, but it can also be used with meat and vegetarian stir-fried cold salad soup. The rest of the profit is the money from selling hawthorn cakes, sugar gourds and snacks. Among them, hawthorn cake accounts for a large amount of silver.
"So how much money do you make? If you don't pay back your cousin's money, can he still eat you? Mrs. Li asked with a calm face.
Li Yao snorted coldly in her heart, this kind of scoundrel words, the old lady can say it, she has to give her all the money in her hand before she is willing.
Thinking so, Li Yao replied calmly: "I earned nearly five taels." Didn't the bean sprouts be sold at a reduced price later! Doesn't hawthorn cake have to be paid to the next laborer? β
The profit is said to be halved compared to the actual one, and there is also thirty percent of the cousin's profit in this profit. Profit is too much, and the old lady is a moth again. said less, but the old lady didn't believe it. If she can, she is willing to repay Han Jin and the Han family more, the Han family has helped her family so much, she still thinks she has given too little!
Mrs. Li glanced at her son Li Mingqing hintly, and Li Mingqing comprehended: "Why are you lowering the price in a good way?" I'm really full and holding on, do you think the money is too much? Show me the ledger! β
Li Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently in a moment's time, and she said, "Okay! "Cut, I'm afraid of you, I made a Sunday report, written in Arabic numerals, can you read it?
Afterward...... Later, it was conceivable that Li Mingqing couldn't understand it. He rummaged through the reports with a look of incredulity on his face: "You...... What is this thing that you kid wrote! β
It seems that semi-literacy is not without benefits, and it is better to use it as a reason at this time! Li Yao pretended to be embarrassed because she couldn't read, but in fact, she was about to laugh in her heart. She half-bowed her head and explained slowly, "Father also knows, you ...... Your daughter...... I don't know much about your daughter, so ...... So I'm going to replace it with a symbol that I can understandβ"
Because he couldn't understand it, Li Mingqing was angry and irritable, he interrupted his daughter's words, and repeatedly looked through the report booklet without giving up, and looked at his daughter anxiously and asked, "You can't write the word bean sprouts?" And this mountain...... Is it hawthorn cake, can I understand the mountain character in these three words? Happy! Really, those words? β¦β¦ What's in these boxes? You can't write simple numbers, no wonder you ate so fat at that time, you ate everything you learned in your stomach, right? Why don't you kid learn to the extreme, how could I give birth to such a stupid you! β
At the end of his sentence, he angrily threw the report book on the table, stood up and pointed at his daughter and scolded, his voice like a man's voice change, like a sharp duck's voice.
Because of the separation, Fu Jingchen couldn't trouble Fu Jinglin's sisters to cook food again and again, and as for the two aunts, he was even more reluctant to owe them favors. What's more, the two aunts are not willing to really cook food for his family. Therefore, he often came to Li Yao to learn to eat.
Although everyone in the world thinks that a man should be far away from cooking, is it useless for him to become a drag in the family as a sick and weak body? In order to live better, why don't you give up those useless faces and care so much. He is sick all year round, and it is not that he can't get out of bed. His mother is sick, his younger brother is still young, they all need someone to take care of him, they need someone to boil medicinal food, and they need someone to make soup to nourish their bodies, so he came here at this time to learn the craft of tea and rice, but who knew that he heard Sister Ayao being scolded......
Li Mingqing's words of scolding Li Yao came out, in order to make Sister Yan embarrassed, Li Da naturally would not stop Fu Jingchen from listening here.
was called stupid, at this time, Li Yao had resentment in her heart, and began to refute her cheap father dissatisfiedly: "Father, do you blame me for not being able to read if you can't read the account books?" Whether I know how to read or not, I can always support myself with my own brain and hands, right? I ate fat that day, shouldn't my father himself do a review? "She was a person who received nine years of compulsory education, and although she went to a second-rate university, she also went to it. Is it easy for her to pretend to be illiterate? Cheap dad just can't read the account book, why bother to play the question!
"You haven't been close to my father since you hanged yourself and woke up, and you've always had a grudge against me in your heart? Your mother had a miscarriage, and you ate it yourself like that, should you blame me! You are a big rebel, I didn't know that you had always had a grudge against me as a father in your heart! β
Hearing Li Mingqing say this, Li Yao regretted that she couldn't help but say those past events because she was angry. Annoyed, the more and more the head is pulled, and the tongue is arguing. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Li Yao took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said to the cheap father: "My daughter is wrong. My daughter only scolded me for being stupid because my father scolded me for being stupid. The daughter is wrong, please forgive the father! After saying that, she squatted down on her knees and apologized.
Li Mingqing wanted to continue to entangle with his daughter, but Mrs. Li shouted: "Xiezhi, just don't talk about this first." Since you can't buy people, you can hire a short-term worker. Isn't there anything left over from the nearly fifty taels of silver you have these days, in addition to the money you have to buy grain? Give one or two hundred dollars a month, and take care of food, and there are many people who are too poor to eat to work! β
"No, the restaurant may still need money! If there is a little bit of food, more people will buy more food when they eat! β
The old lady retorted unhappily: "Why not, didn't you say that the restaurant is the money of the little county king?" β
"He can take out everything in his hand, in case it is not enough, I have the silver here to save the emergency." In fact, what Li Yao said at this time was just her own current situation.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you want to watch me work all the time at my age?"
Li Mingqing then echoed his mother's words: "Are you idle at home and watching your brothers and sisters go to work? β
This is really a funny comparison that people can't get rid of in the family!
She has been very busy making wool, knitting sweaters, and working for the restaurant recently, and she doesn't have much money left. Even if there is left, it should be used for emergency or unexpected use.
When the old lady is grieving for herself, and when the cheap father is grieving for Aunt Chen and her concubines, can you think that she is also tired! They only saw her at home, didn't they see that she was also working? Since she had been reformed, she didn't think her own brother would complain to her because he wasn't called.
When it was cold in the middle of September, Li Yao's restaurant had already been built. For the opening of the restaurant, she got up early and worked greedily to make the menu, set the main business items of the shop, purchase the tables, chairs and firewood for the opening, cook the broth, prepare rice, meat, vegetables and other things, and she was really busy to fly. And in this busyness, in addition to the few taels of emergency silver prepared to support the family, the silver in her hand was once again spent......
Seeing that Li Yao was silent there, Mrs. Li once again forced her to hire a short-term worker.
"I don't have any money, this month's hawthorn cake is because I sold it, so I can have enough money to buy grain, and the money for selling grain next month has not yet been settled." Li Yao believes that Aunt Chen's mother and daughter have not yet expired in labor reform, and she is really unwilling to let go of the mother and daughter and hire short-term workers for the family. Let the mother and daughter physically work, and they will not have the energy to raise moths!
If she wants to help the poor people in the tunzi who can't afford to eat, she can hire such people to go to the restaurant. Besides, when you can be self-reliant, why do you have to be subordinate! How did they get over the days of Yazhou? No money to worry about; If you have money, you will also worry about the rights and wrongs that the money brings!
The confrontation between the two parties, because of Li Yao's intransigence, could not achieve a result for a long time, but Aunt Chen outside the door had a plan, so she knocked on the door and interrupted the confrontation......
At night, Fu Jingchen sighed to his brother: "It's not easy for anyone, I see Sister Ayao smiling all day long, and I think she has no troubles." I didn't think she used to ......."
He paused, didn't finish the unfinished words, but asked, "Brother, do you know that most of her family's family is pressed on her?" β
"Oh, I don't know. How do you know these things? β
Fu Jingchen didn't answer, he asked his brother again: "You went to the mountain with Sister Ah Ying today, are you reconciled now?" β
The younger brother didn't answer him, so he didn't ask more, but persuaded the younger brother: "Yes, don't worry about my affairs, it's not good for your health to think too much!" β
"Well, I just don't worry about it. We men take care of the sick, but we are not as attentive as women, and mothers in the family need women to serve. The mother is bedridden, and the younger brother also needs a woman to take it. Brother, are you going to ask Sister Ah Yu to marry her quickly?
The two aunts and cousins take their younger brothers, not their own people, and the cousins are too young to take care of their younger brothers. In this way, our family is not at ease, especially my mother. Grandmother take it, and make her old man too tired!
This situation at home made Sister Ah Ying aggrieved. After she marries in, I will definitely be grateful to her, and I will definitely listen to her in the future, and if I am good to her, I will treat her like a sister...... Brother, you will also be grateful to Sister Ah Ying in the future, be good to her, right? β
Fu Jingchen's last words were very serious, and after he finished speaking, he looked at his brother with a sincere face. And he also had a deep guilt for Li Ying in his eyes...... But otherwise, how can the family live?
The younger brother's words made Fu Jingheng stunned, this situation at home really needs a woman to manage, if he goes to ask for a marriage, it is indeed impossible to live with Ah Ying in advance, but if she agrees to marry, he will definitely be good to her in the future! "Okay, I'll go talk to my father, and we'll go to propose marriage soon. You still say that you don't bother, you are a worrying character! (To be continued.) )
