Chapter 159: Returning from the City

On the way back, Su Qiqi sat next to Ji Wenchen and kept counting the silver in his hand, seeing that she was so childish, Ji Wenchen deliberately asked while driving the carriage: "Qiqi, what's the matter, haven't you calculated it yet?" ”

Laughing at her, huh? Su Qiqi's mouth pouted and his eyes turned white: "Can't I like most of them twice?" ”

When will this look like this? Ji Wenchen glanced at her and said funny: "Okay, okay!" Count as many times as you like! But don't say that the senior brother didn't remind you, this wealth is not exposed, you count it in your hand, if it is seen by the strongman, something will happen! ”

"Huh? There are robbers? Hearing this, Su Qiqi immediately retracted the silver back into his sleeve.

Ji Wenchen was amused by her action: "Scare you!" All the way is the main road, where are the robbers? However, it is true that wealth is not exposed, especially after arriving in Zhangjiawan, and it is impossible for people to know that there is so much silver around us. ”

Su Qiqi took the silver ticket and asked worriedly: "Senior brother, can we really use this silver ticket in our town?" ”

Why can't it be reconciled? It's not a matter of children playing at home. Ji Wenchen reluctantly comforted her and said: "Of course you can, this is a pass, there are usually silver buildings in the town, even if it is not big, there are still them." ”

Su Qiqi pointed to a few pieces of silver and discussed with Ji Wenchen: "Senior brother, these six hundred catties of bamboo shoots were sold for seventy-five taels per catty, and a total of more than forty taels of silver were sold, and Zhou Zhengqiang and Qi Sanming could actually share nine taels and eight taels and seven cents each, as well as about five taels of the eldest aunt's family." However, the cost of labor and carriages on the road was not deducted. ”

Labor and carriages and horses will definitely cost money, for the sake of future business, Ji Wenchen thought for a while and said: "Qiqi, explain it to them when you go back, just say that after deducting expenses, it is sixty big dollars per catty." So many people help to get it down, and they have to pay their personal wages, so it's better to leave a few big money to invite them to tea! ”

Ji Wenchen didn't want to be a good person, and when he heard this, Su Qiqi said with satisfaction: "Well, just do it!" Besides, if the price is high, someone will follow suit in the future! Business is to do it exclusively to earn money, Boss Wang is like this, and so are we. ”

Ji Wenchen looked at her and quipped: "It turns out that Qiqi is really proficient in business?" It looks like we're going to have a big businessman! ”

Su Qiqi listened to Ji Wenchen's words and asked intentionally: "Senior brother, what if you say that we really do business in the future?" ”

Ji Wenchen said seriously: "Qiqi, the status of merchants in this world is the lowest, although silver is very important, but the status of future generations is even more important!" ”

Since she said that, Su Qiqi canceled her plan to do business, originally she still wanted to do some small business in the future and make a fortune! It seems that the only way to do this is to form a construction team in the future.

After the two returned to Zhangjiawan, they called Zhou Zhengqiang and Qi Sanming out, told them about the matter, and then distributed the silver to them. Qi Sanming took the nearly seven taels of silver in his hand and asked in disbelief: "Master, is this really the silver that the bamboo shoots are sold?" ”

Zhou Zhengqiang counted the silver in the count in a daze: "That thing is hard, it is worth so much silver?" Senior brother, how about eight taels? My family can't earn that much in a year! You say, don't you? Uncle Xiao is really the silver sold by the bamboo shoots? ”

Looking at the two pairs of big eyes in disbelief, Su Qiqi glared at them: "It's not the silver that that thing sells, could it be that I and my senior brother went to the city to rob it?" Don't hurry up and pack it up, if someone else sees it, you'll have to be careful! Do you not know the truth that wealth is not exposed? ”

Ji Wenchen shook his head and wanted to laugh, but the junior brother was right, he said to the two disciples seriously: "Put away the silver, don't let others know!" Don't go outside to listen to today's shouting, next year we will go back and dry some more and send it down, don't tell others how much money you get! ”

Zhou Zhengqiang and Qi Sanming hurriedly stuffed the silver into their arms and said, "Master, you don't have to explain, we understand this!" ”

Su Qiqi grimaced at them: "It's good to understand!" If you don't understand, your daughter-in-law is gone! You just have to hold the bamboo and cry! ”

Qi Sanming asked puzzledly: "Uncle Xiao, why are we crying with bamboo?" ”

Zhou Zhengqiang said angrily: "This bamboo shoot has earned you silver, if this bamboo shoot is not worth silver, you don't hug the bamboo to cry, you hug the man to cry?" ”

"Hahaha... Then you two are exactly a couple, just go and hug your head and cry! Su Qiqi laughed so much that tears came out, I didn't expect that Zhengqiang was not as active as Qi Sanming this week, but today this reaction is extremely fast!

The next day, everyone started to work, as soon as there were more people, Ji Wengui was literate, and Su Qiqi arranged for him to mainly keep work supervision and counting. Su Shengqing is the master, Ji Wenrong and Liu Zhengqing specially help her mix the ingredients, she herself is the most relaxed, mainly the ingredients.

As soon as he has free relatives, Su Qiqi will go to the hot construction site to wander around. On this day, she carried a pot of wild chrysanthemum tea to Ji Wenchen's side, first handed over the wet cotton towel in her hand to him and said, "Senior brother, you wipe your sweat first, and I will pour you chrysanthemum water to drink." ”

Ji Wenchen put down the stone knife in his hand, immediately took the cotton towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck, and said: "It's really strange this year, this July and a half have passed, why is it still so hot?" I'm afraid it hasn't rained for more than ten days, right? ”

Thinking of the great drought when he was eight years old, Su Qiqi handed him herbal tea and said, "Senior brother, this weather is favorable to us, but I am afraid of the drought!" ”

Ji Wenchen also said worriedly after drinking all the herbal tea: "Yes, if it doesn't rain again, the autumn harvest will be damaged!" ”

Su Qiqi was worried about hunger after eating too many wild vegetables and weeds that year, and she asked tentatively: "Senior brother, do you think we should ask the third uncle to collect some grain for us in the village and store it?" ”

Knowing that his junior brother was frightened by the drought that year, Ji Wenchen felt extremely sorry for her, he squinted his eyes and thought about it and said, "Well, it's a little farther back to the village, or I'll ask Patriarch Zhang to help collect some tomorrow!" ”

Qi Sanming and Zhou Zhengqiang on the side also followed: "Master, why don't we also collect a little?" If it is really a fierce autumn season, then the grains on our mountain will have no grains. ”

The tips of the two apprentices still worked, and when he heard this, Ji Wenchen nodded: "Regardless of whether it will be fierce or not, or everyone will collect a little, I will collect five loads, and you don't have any silver, just collect two loads each, anyway, there is usually not enough food at home, and it will not be wasted if you collect it." ”

The master said this, of course, the apprentice did as he said, but Su Qiqi looked at the sun above his head and was stunned: Could it be that this year is July, and there will be a disaster? Thinking of the big man a few years ago, she remembered digging kudzu and washing arrowroot powder with her father and mother, and her heart became uncomfortable.
