Chapter 0037 - Balance of Interests
As he spoke, he ran away quickly, and after a while, he came with a glass of honey water, and said, "Sister, please use tea, I am usually reluctant to drink this honey." ”
Hailan had already heard that Jing Xiaotian was asking her for money in a different way, and his face couldn't hold it after all, so he took out two taels of silver, handed it to Jing Xiaotian's hand, and said, "This is my monthly money for a month, and I will plan to eat according to this money this month." ”
Jing Xiaotian hurriedly said: "How can I spend my sister's money?" ”
But he clutched the silver tightly in his hand, and did not push it.
Hailan smiled faintly and said, "When can I eat, I'm really a little hungry." ”
Lin Zhi looked at Jing Xiaotian, got up and said, "Let's do it." ”
When she walked out, her face was slightly hot, she didn't like Jing Xiaotian to ask Hailan for money in a roundabout way, but adding a mouth to the family and eating better was really a lot of pressure, and their family really couldn't afford it.
Lin Zhi sighed slightly, and suddenly felt: "The so-called poor and short-minded people are nothing more than that, but in the current situation at home, if you want to pretend to be generous, you can't pretend to be generous." It's good to be a villain first and then a gentleman, and leave no trouble. ”
So I weighed in my heart how to distribute the two taels of silver, and made tricks for Hailan every day.
In the evening, Sister-in-law Ah Zhong cleaned up a simple and clean room for Hailan, and Hailan settled down.
Jing Xiaotian made soap wholeheartedly.
It's just that this time she was a lot more careful, and told Ah Zhong to prepare the ingredients in the dead of night, she got up early, mixed the soap syrup, and quietly poured it into the mold of the warehouse.
Usually, let the family take turns to keep an eye on it, and don't let Hailan get close to the warehouse.
Hailan also knew Jing Xiaotian's careful thinking, in addition to practicing swords every day, he followed Lin Zhi to learn to do needlework, not even the edge of the warehouse.
When Jing Xiaotian was idle, he also practiced swords with Hailan, practiced calligraphy with Lin Zhi, and occasionally stayed alone for a while, thinking about the past, thinking about Jin Hexi, and thinking about where he would go in the future.
On such days, it also slipped fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Spring Festival, and the family was also pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers, wearing new clothes, killing chickens and sheep, and making dumplings.
Lin Zhi also hurried to make a new dress for Hailan, who stroked the fine and neat stitches, and didn't know what to say for a while.
She is an orphan, she was taken in by the Hai family since she was a child, she waited for her master decently every day, and never got her mother's love, watching Jing Xiaotian coquettish and tricky in front of Lin Zhi every day, she always had an indescribable envy in her heart, she really didn't expect that Lin Zhi would actually make a new dress for her with her own hands.
Jing Xiaotian had already told her that Lin Zhi's handiwork was worth a lot.
After the Spring Festival, the soaps made by Jing Xiaotian have just passed the post-ripening period and can be used.
This time, she also added a new soap with honey, which she said could make her skin fairer and more delicate.
Hailan tried it, but she didn't see any effect, but she left a fragrance of jujube nectar on her hand, which smelled very good.
Jing Xiaotian said: "This thing has to be used for a long time to have an effect, you must know that this is just a soap, not an elixir." ”
Hailan didn't say anything more, left alone, and the next day he got a carriage, carefully packed all the soap made by Jing Xiaotian, and gave enough silver taels at the price of fifty yuan a piece, and was about to drive away.
At this time, Jing Xiaotian suddenly ran to Hailan's face, stuffed two taels of silver into Hailan's arms, and said very guiltily: "Sister Hailan, I'm really embarrassed, I took your money at the beginning, and I was really forced to do it, I'm really afraid that the family won't be able to open the pot, and now that I have money, I can't charge you anymore." ”
Hailan didn't push back, only smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, then I appreciate it, I'm sorry for this month." ”
As he spoke, he flicked his long whip and drove off with a slump.
Jing Xiaotian looked at the heavy silver in his hand, his heart was pounding, this month, he earned fifty taels!
In this place, fifty taels, then you can have a house and a car!
Ah Zhong sighed softly and said, "Alas, I knew that the money was so happy, we should have done more." 100 pieces of soap a day, that's like playing. ”
The implication is that it seems that Jing Xiaotian is a little conservative, indeed, Jing Xiaotian did tell him before, telling him to take it easy, don't do too much, this month's production must not exceed 1,000 yuan.
Now hearing Ah Zhong say this, Jing Xiaotian also smiled: "Uncle Ah Zhong, this has made a lot of money, things are scarce and expensive, and if you make too many things, they will not be worth much." ”
After Jing Xiaotian entered the house, he immediately divided the silver in his hand into several parts, and handed it to Lin Zhi for twenty taels and said, "Mother, you save this." ”
Lin Zhi stroked the silver in front of him, and tears rolled down: "Tian'er, it's really difficult for you, my mother has a daughter like you, and I am content in this life!" ”
"Mother, you will cry for twenty taels of silver, then you won't be able to cry anymore, I will make a lot of money, let you save it, so you have to laugh, smile from ear to ear."
"This kid is poor again." Lin Zhi immediately stopped his tears and really grinned.
At this time, Jing Xiaotian handed five taels of silver to Lin Zhi and said: "Mother, this is for living, what is missing, just send Uncle Ah Zhong and them to buy it, don't be reluctant, when you earn more money, I will buy some valuable things for my mother." ”
Then he lowered his voice and whispered, "Mother, I still want to discuss something with you." ”
Seeing that Jing Xiaotian was so mysterious, Lin Zhi hurriedly approached her, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Tian'er, what do you want to say?" ”
"Mother, I want to give Uncle Ah Zhong and Ah Zhong Niangniang a little money every month in the future, and let them spend it as they please, do you think it's okay?"
"Well, once upon a time, when your grandfather and grandmother were alive, they were also paid monthly." Lin Zhi said with a smile on his face.
Jing Xiaotian is so considerate of the subordinates, which makes her very happy.
"How much is appropriate?" Jing Xiaotian asked.
"I used to give two pieces of silver a month." Lin Zhi followed the old routine and said.
"Okay, then we'll each give them two dollars a month, okay?" Jing Xiaotian asked.
"I don't know, is our family's income very stable?" Lin Zhi was a little skeptical.
"If you have it, you can give it, and you can't say anything without them, and now you can't let them watch us make money, and we won't get any benefit at all. In that case, I am afraid that their hearts will be scattered. "Well Oda Road.
Listening to Jing Xiaotian's explanation, Lin Zhi immediately agreed, and said, "Just listen to Tian'er, you can talk to them." ”
