Chapter 8: Big Buying
Seventeen pieces of porcelain, one hundred and seventy pieces of money.
Wei Ming only needed fifteen taels of silver, and the rest all cost copper coins.
At present, it is still a prosperous age, and there is no consistent provincial saying that seven or eight hundred coins are always money, that is, a thousand copper coins, which are nearly ten catties......
Twenty pounds, that's nearly a hundred catties!
And this hundred catties, naturally, all have to be carried by Wei Youfu, and Wei Ming is absolutely impossible to carry.
It is also because of this that Wei Youfu, who has been poor for most of his life and dreams of being rich, finally found that it is too hard to be rich......
Although he had already decided that his son was really a Bodhisattva's dream, Wei Youfu didn't dare to sweat with twenty yuan on his back, while Wei Ming himself didn't dare to have any opinions if he didn't help with his two hands......
But he couldn't help but complain that Wei Ming shouldn't have asked for so many copper coins.
If you ask for sixteen taels of silver and ten taels of money, it will be much easier......
After all, ten guan money is exchanged for the seven guan of Wei Youlin's family's arrears, and there are still three guan left, which is enough to buy a lot of things.
"Uncle Sun and Dahu should be in Fangdong at the moment!"
Wei Ming said: "Since Aya can't carry your back, why don't you ask them to pull the cart?" ”
All the people who make a living by pulling carts to send pottery will wait in Fangdong after sending pottery to see if there are any goods that need to be sent back by the way, Wei Youfu certainly knows.
But as soon as he thought of hiring someone to pull the car, he needed money, Wei Youfu was dumbfounded, and blurted out a scolding: "You are a loser...... It's really a panic to burn as soon as you have money! ”
"Later, in addition to mutton and pig, I also plan to buy a few buckets of rice, white noodles, iron pots, clothes, and some jewelry for my mother......
Wei Ming smiled: "If you can carry these Aye, then we won't call a car!" ”
"Then it's better to call a car!"
Hearing this pile of things, Wei Youfu was speechless and choked for a while, and began to count with his fingers again, saying in his heart how much money would it cost to buy such things......
But no matter how distressed he is, he can't scold the words ruined cub no matter what.
It has nothing to do with whether this money is earned by Wei Ming, it is only related to the Bodhisattva.
"Youfu, why are you here?"
Seeing Wei Youfu and Wei Ming coming, Sun Yong greeted him warmly.
"What else?"
Wei Youfu put his back on the cart and said, "Isn't this going to buy something and want to hire a car, and immediately remembered you?" ”
"Hire a car? You? ”
Sun Yong smiled dumbly and said: "Usually I am reluctant to hire even Tao, but when I go back today, I actually hired a car - could it be that the sun is hitting the west?" ”
Wei Youfu feigned anger and said, "You just say that you don't pull it, right?" If you don't pull me, you can find someone else! ”
"Lalala, can you not pull?"
Sun Yong smiled again and again, after all, this opportunity to send Tao over to pull the goods back by the way, I'm afraid I won't be able to touch a few times in January, how can it not be pulled?
Wei Ming naturally didn't mix in the jokes of the two, just pulled half of the pancakes he had just sold to Dahu, and then led the way to purchase.
Mutton, pork, rice, white noodles, iron pot......
Seeing that the father and son were eating and drinking all kinds of food and drink, they didn't want money, and they didn't want to put it on the car, but turned their heads and went into the jewelry shop to get a few carved silver bracelets and silver hairpins......
Sun Yong couldn't help but be surprised anymore: "Blessed, where did you make a fortune in this matter or don't you plan to live?" ”
I heard that the porcelain was burned and sold for a good price......
Although he didn't know what the difference between this porcelain and pottery was, Sun Yong still congratulated him again and again: "I knew that you were not an ordinary person, but now it seems that you are right!" ”
"I love to hear that!"
While Wei Youfu laughed, he didn't shy away from saying: "But my family can burn this porcelain It really doesn't have much to do with me, it's mainly the credit of Brother Ming!" ”
At dinner, I saw that there was mutton and pig meat on the Wei family's table, and the food was still rice......
The people of the entire Tao Village were boiling, and they came over to inquire about what kind of wealth the Wei family had made.
"What kind of fortune is it, but a few pieces of porcelain were burned and sold for hundreds of dollars!"
Lu Yuehua said happily, and at the same time did not forget to show off the silk shirt on her body, the silver hairpin on her head, and the silver bracelet on her arm, snorting at Mingfang who was far away from Mingfang......
"What's the matter, isn't it just a silk shirt and a few pieces of silver jewelry? It's like no one's house! ”
Yu Mingfang's mouth was stiff, but when he thought that his hairpin was as thin as a toothpick, and the bracelet was as thin as a strip, the root of the tooth was itchy, but he couldn't find anyone to get angry......
Because at this moment, Wei Youlin had already sat at the Wei family's dinner table, happily accompanying Sun Yong and others to eat meat and drink wine with the Wei family. While listening to Wei Youfu, Lu Yuehua praised Wei Ming to death.
Hearing that the Wei family could burn porcelain, it was all because of Wei Ming, and the people in the village all boasted as if they didn't know him at all, and they also opened their mouths from time to time to inquire about how to burn this porcelain......
Wei Ming didn't bother with these at all, just eating meat and pulling rice in large gulps.
Although he was tired of eating meat before the crossing and didn't know what to eat all day long, it was only half a month's work, but at this moment, Wei Ming felt that the taste of this meat and rice was as fragrant as if he had never eaten it in several lifetimes......
It made him feel like he wanted to burst into tears.
After eating and drinking, after returning to their respective homes, Wei Youfu Lu Yuehua looked at the few ingots of silver, looked at the remaining seven or eight pieces of money, and counted and counted while making various calculations, she couldn't help but be happy and worried at the same time, after all, there was not only no bank in these years, but not even a bank......
And the thatched hut at home is so big that it is not safe to put it anywhere.
"Let's buy some land and build a house!!" Wei Mingdao.
"Up a house?"
Hearing this, Wei Youfu and Lu Yuehua glared at each other and said: "It's okay to buy a field, as for starting a house, I think it's better to talk about it in a few years later, after all, this money looks like a lot, but it doesn't cost ...... at all."
Regarding the concept that the two wanted to buy the land, but did not agree with the concept of starting a house, Wei Ming didn't think there was anything wrong.
After all, the field can be produced, but the house is a dead thing.
But he still insisted on starting the house first.
The reason is simple, that is, only if you have a big enough house, you can hide more secrets!
Just like before, the villagers are already trying to find out the secrets of porcelain, let alone others?
Although it is not difficult to mix Guanyin clay and porcelain stone into porcelain clay, it is necessary to figure out the formula of transparent glaze......
If you don't say it yourself, I'm afraid that if people in this era don't explore for ten or eight years, it will be impossible at all!
But Wei Ming still hopes to be careful.
After all, if there is no environment that is relatively difficult to snoop into, everything is carried out in the pottery field, and people who are interested in it can still find a lot of things through the materials they use!
