18. The first pot of gold (two)
Xu Wan covered her mouth and laughed for a while, and said teasingly, "Sister-in-law, our tofu sells quickly, and this scale will definitely be used in the future, sister-in-law will go back, you can let the eldest brother teach you." β
Tong Xue pretended to glare at Xu Wan angrily, "You girl, you have learned to make fun of me." β
The three of them talked and laughed, Tong Xue was responsible for cutting, Xu Wenyuan was responsible for speaking, Xu Wan was responsible for collecting money, the three of them worked together, time passed quickly, and forty catties of tofu were sold out quickly.
Xu Wan had a heavy coin in her pocket, and she was very happy, and it was only an hour and a half later, and all the tofu was sold out, and it was still sold for three cents, and the three of them were very happy.
Even Tong Xue was happy in her heart, although it was only more than 100 yuan, but after all, it was the first pot of gold she came to this place.
On the way back, because there was no tofu and the goods were sold out, everyone was light both in their hearts and on their bodies, Xu Wan touched the heavy purse, with a bright smile from the bottom of her heart, "Sister-in-law, you are really amazing, we have earned more than 100 yuan today." β
Tong Xue was also happy in her heart, Tong Xue felt that she had reached ancient times, and her vision was also limited, and when she thought of a hundred yuan, she was happy in her heart.
It's just that Tong Xue knows best in her heart, since she came here, although she said it was easy, she was still a little worried about whether she could live well.
After discovering the space, Tong Xue's heart was half relieved, but now, Tong Xue's heart has really let go.
Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wan, who was happy, "Wan'er, you still have to cut the cost, although you use the beans at home, but it is also a cost." We used almost fourteen or fifteen catties of beans, and each catty of beans cost one penny, so we earned almost one hundred wen. β
Xu Wan is still small and heartless, happy, "That's a lot, if you can earn so much every day, you can have three taels of silver a month, that's more than the silver that the eldest brother receives." β
Tong Xue is much more sensible, Xu Wenda also said that today is a big set, and it is easier to buy **, but on weekdays, the tofu shop in the town is basically enough, "Today is a big set, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to sell on weekdays, besides, if you make tofu every day, then Wen Yuan won't be tired." β
Xu Wenyuan touched the back of his head, but it was not as sharp as before, and he became naΓ―ve, "If I can make money, it doesn't matter if I'm tired." β
Tong Xue glanced at Xu Wenyuan in surprise, when he talked about selling tofu yesterday, it seemed that Xu Wenyuan didn't look like a person who would like to do business, it is estimated that at this time, it was also because he was poor and forced by lack of money, "Your eldest brother hopes that you can both study, trading is not a real business after all, let's go home and discuss it." β
Xu Wenyuan scratched his head a little irritably, he didn't love reading so much, "My eldest brother is smart, he learns everything quickly, the previous gentlemen all said that he has understanding, Wen Zhao is also very smart, what the eldest brother taught, he learned very quickly, but I can't, I can't write well, the article is even worse, I am not born to read the material, the eldest brother has taught me for many years, but I can't read well." β
Originally, Xu Wenyuan also felt that it was inappropriate to do business, after all, everyone said that businessmen were not good, but after going to see it today, I found that it was quite interesting, they all made money through labor, how could they distinguish the good from the bad, "I followed my sister-in-law out today, but I think I like doing business and earning money." β
Tong Xue didn't talk again, the situation of the Xu family is a bit complicated, if you come out to sell something to subsidize the family, it doesn't hurt, but if you open the door to do business, it is estimated that it will not work.
With money in her pocket and hope for her future life, Tong Xue felt that she should buy something to eat, otherwise she would be looked at by Xu Wan with a look like you eat too much every day, and she would really be a little unbearable.
Tong Xue took Xu Wan's hand, "Wan'er, I haven't been around this town yet, let's go around, it's rare to meet a big set, by the way, buy some more rice and noodles, if you don't buy some, you're really going to run out of food." β
Xu Wan pulled Tong Xue tightly, touched the purse hanging on her body, and her heart began to drip blood again, the money was not hot yet, and she was about to go out.
Walking to the grain store, Tong Xue looked at the price above, and her heart hurt a little, white flour costs three yuan a catty, and white rice costs twenty yuan, this is simply a money grab.
Seeing Tong Xue looking at the white flour and white rice with blank eyes, Xu Wan spoke first, "Master, I want twenty catties of bean noodles and twenty catties of sorghum noodles." β
Forty catties of coarse grain cost a total of 60 yuan, and half of the money earned today was gone at once.
Tong Xue was also a little distressed, but she was still thinking about whether she could buy some white flour and white rice, "Wan'er, let's discuss something, otherwise, we will also have two catties of white rice and white noodles." β
Xu Wan's hand holding the money bag tightened again, looking like a little housekeeper's mother-in-law, "Sister-in-law, one pound of white flour can be exchanged for two catties of coarse grain, and that rice, that expensive one is boundless, it is all for the rich to eat, and no one in our village has eaten that thing." β
Tong Xue looked at the price and was stunned, "How can this white rice be sold so expensive?" β
The shopkeeper of the grain store saw that Tong Xue and the three of them also bought forty catties of grain, which is not a small business, and when she heard Tong Xue's doubts, she explained with a smile, "The little lady doesn't know, our place, the land is not suitable for growing rice, some people have also tried to plant, but the result is lost to Jingguang, our piece, lack of water, drought, rice does not grow well, no one grows rice, so the price of rice is expensive, these are transported from the south by the Grand Canal." This is also our town is not very far from the provincial capital, if you encounter that remote town, you can't buy twenty yuan. Little lady, do you want to have a little taste? β
Tong Xue hurriedly shook her head, twenty pounds of rice, forget it, now the rice is not fragrant rice in her eyes, but a string of copper coins, which is too expensive.
But this situation, Tong Xue also understands, she suddenly remembered that when she was a child, the price of rice in their land was twice that of flour, at that time it was very rare to be able to eat a meal of rice, and it was already a very good life to be able to eat one meal a week, so I always felt that my favorite thing to eat was rice, and there was no one, until I went to college in the south and ate rice every day, and my mind changed slightly.
Tong Xue reluctantly glanced at the white rice, then followed Xu Wan's footsteps and walked out, and then came to Xu Wan's side, "Wan'er, you see that we didn't buy white noodles, so let's weigh some pork." β
Not surprisingly, Tong Xue received Xu Wan's white eyes, this little girl is really getting too fast, just now I said that my sister-in-law is too powerful, and now when I say that I buy food, my nose is not my nose, and my eyes are not my eyes.
Xu Wan felt that this sister-in-law was good at everything, but she was too bold in eating, and she was watching Tong Xue come out of the grain store with a reluctant face, Xu Wan also wondered if it was wrong for her to do this, after all, the money was earned by the sister-in-law.
But when she heard Tong Xue's construction, she couldn't help but incarnate the little housekeeper, "Sister-in-law, we just drank fish soup yesterday, how can we farmers get meat every day, just taste it." β
