"Dad, I don't think you're busy killing any fish, I'm the one in this job! Why don't you go to the bricklayer and ask how much money it will cost to build a shop and what you have to buy? I think the sooner this happens, the better! Jiang Yue'e was an anxious person, and felt that this house should indeed be built, so she hurriedly urged her father to inquire quickly.

"You girl, why are you so anxious? It's too late to ask again in the next morning, Dad has been busy all morning, and you can let him rest for a while! Jiang scolded his sister.

Old Man Jiang waved his hand and said busily: "Your sister is right, this matter really has to be done quickly." You must know that if this house is built one day later, we will have to do business in the straw shed for one more day, maybe one day it will be rainy, and then we will not be able to get out of the stall, and we will definitely have to make a lot less money! Well, I have to go on the road now, after all, building a house is a big deal, and I have to go to a few more houses to ask. After inquiring clearly, let's sum it up again in the evening and come up with a charter. ”

"That being said, there are no bricklayers in our village! If you want to inquire, you have to go to the neighboring villages, and if you want to ask a few more, you have to go to several villages! That's so tiring! Or ......" Jiang originally wanted Zhao Yongzhong to go instead of her father, but when she thought that Zhao Yongzhong would have to go to the town with Zhao Siniang later, she couldn't help but make a difficulty.

"Grandpa, you also said that building a house is a big deal, we can visit in a few days, inquire carefully, don't be in such a hurry. Taking a step back, even if you don't do business for a day or two, it's not in the way! Zhao Siniang was also afraid that Old Man Jiang would be tired, so she hurriedly followed the persuasion.

Old Man Jiang was very ironed in his heart, and said with a smile: "You kid, you are all worried about it!" Your grandfather and I have worked all my life on the ship, and I have never felt tired. Just a few miles away, can you still tire your grandfather? With that, he was ready to set out immediately.

Zhao Siniang knew that Old Man Jiang was also a master who hated work, and he was never willing to delay what he could do today until tomorrow, so she was afraid that she would not be able to persuade her, so she said: "I think so, don't go on the road alone, or lead my eldest brother to go together, and the two of them will have a good time on the road." ”

"Yes, grandpa, I'll go with you!" Zhao Sanlang also said.

"You run so many villages alone, we don't feel at ease! Just take Saburo with you! "Jiang Yue'e really wants to slap herself in the mouth twice: let your mouth be fast, and instigate your father to drive dozens of miles! So she pleaded too.

"If there is no one in the shop, I should be able to turn away, but if there is no San Lang......" Old Man Jiang muttered.

If he could, Old Man Jiang didn't want to worry his family, and he was willing to take Zhao Sanlang on the road together, but the conditions didn't seem to allow it! The family arranged for him to be responsible for ushering in the delivery, collecting and settling the bill, and did not let him take over other work. Sometimes he saw that Zhao Siniang and the others were too busy and wanted to go over to help, but the children were too filial, for fear of tiring him, they stopped him from doing it...... Alas, his work is the lightest, and there is nothing without him. But Saburo is different, he is in charge of running the hall, that is the main force, if he is taken away, I am afraid that the shop will not be busy.

"I think so, the materials we prepared today are almost used, and there is not much to sell if we continue to stay here, so it is better to put the shop away and use the rest of the things to clean up and eat, and it should be lunch. After eating, grandpa, you and my eldest brother will set off directly, and we will go back and do our own work. Zhao Siniang suggested.

"It's a pity to just accept it! There's a lot of stuff left unsold! Old Man Jiang said distressedly.

Although the Jiang family and the others all hoped that Old Man Jiang would not worry about the business in the shop, he would take Zhao Sanlang with him. I can hear that I will close the stall now, although I didn't make a sound, but I hesitated.

Zhao Siniang smiled: "Where are there still many things to sell?" You see, the fat intestines were sold out early in the morning, and the pig's head meat, stewed pig's trotters, roasted small fish, and by the way, tofu brain, were almost all wrapped up by the caravan just now, and there was only a fraction left. The bone broth has also run out, and only half a pot of belly lung soup and fish soup remain. Let's talk about noodles, there are only a few sections of white noodles left, and although there are more left, there are only enough to make ten servings at most. There are nine of us now, and it's just right to get rid of these things, so don't think about business anymore! ”

Everyone had no choice but to give up, and the old man Jiang was just about to nod his head in agreement, but the thrifty Jiang did not give up, and said: "The remaining two soups don't look like much, but they add up to about thirty bowls." We can use up to 10 bowls of noodles, and there are still 20 bowls to sell! That's worth twenty dollars! Anyway, it doesn't take much trouble just to sell soup, it is enough for me and my father to stay in the shop, and the others can go back and rest. ”

Zhao Siniang held her forehead, her mother fell into the eyes of money, right? was about to open his mouth to persuade her, but was stopped by Zhao Sanniang's eyes.

If it were to be put aside, Jiang would not have calculated the bowl of soup so clearly, and would definitely beckon everyone to drink a few more bowls, and it would be solved. But the mention of the house just now touched her heartstrings: their house has not yet been settled! Now the place where she lives is too small, there are eight people sleeping on a kang, and now that her sister-in-law comes back, it will become nine people. Now I can barely squeeze in, but the children are growing up, what can I do in the future? No way! This house needs to be built quickly! In order to raise money, not to mention that she can earn 20 yuan, she can't let go of even a penny!

It is said that mother and daughter are connected, Jiang's eager mood, Zhao Sanniang, a daughter, can fully understand it. As for Zhao Siniang, it's a fake, so naturally you can't feel it.

"It is a penny to earn a penny! Just do what my mother says! But I also stayed, and although it was not a hassle to sell soup, in the end it was not easy to clean up the shop, and I had to help. Zhao Sanniang said.

Everyone felt that Jiang's mother and daughter were reasonable, so they discussed it and decided to let Zhao Yongzhong, Jiang, Zhao Sanniang and Zhao Silang stay in the shop to continue doing business, and let Jiang Yue'e take Zhao Siniang and Jiang Xiaohu back to rest.

Zhao Sanniang saw that although Zhao Siniang didn't say anything, her face was full of disapproval, knowing that she was because she earned five taels of silver today, so she couldn't look down on these small money.

"Aren't we going to stay in the shop and do business? We can drink two more bowls of soup per person, but what about these tofu? Do you also share two or three pieces of food for each person? I don't know how you calculated this account, such a big two plates of tofu are clearly placed there, and you haven't counted it. Zhao Sanniang pointed to the tofu and raised her eyebrows. I thought: Originally, I saw that you performed well today, and I wanted to let you go, but looking at your angry little appearance, I couldn't help but want to stab you.

Bean curd? Ah, yes! Zhao Siniang suddenly remembered: I made two plates of tofu today, a total of 32 pieces, 5 pieces were used to make soup, and people from neighboring villages bought 2 pieces, and there were 25 pieces left. Compared to yesterday's sell-out, it was really a dismal sale. Before, she was worried that the tofu would not be sold, but as soon as the caravan came, she was busy forgetting about it. The place where the tofu was put was far away from the stove, and when she was doing the rest statistics just now, she carelessly didn't include the tofu.

But how could Zhao Siniang, who wanted to save face, admit her negligence in front of everyone? So she stubbornly quibbled: "I didn't mention those tofus, not because I forgot, but because I had already found a way out for them!" ”

Except for the sharp-eyed Zhao Sanniang, everyone was still immersed in the joy of making a lot of money, and no one found that there was still so much tofu that had not been sold. After Zhao Sanniang's reminder, everyone remembered those unsalable tofu, and they were a little anxious. At this time, I heard Zhao Siniang say that there was a good way to solve it, and everyone looked at Zhao Siniang with a surprised face: Siniang, what kind of way out have you found for tofu?

Way out? Actually, I haven't thought about it yet! Seeing everyone looking at her with earnest eyes, she only felt a lot of pressure, and a pair of beautiful eyes kept spinning.
