The things in the stall were all sold out, Zhu's father cleaned up the stall, and asked Zhu Pingchuan to lead Zhu Ping'an to wait here, and he went to the grocery store to sell the rabbit skin.

Because Zhu's father and the grocery store are regular customers, the grocery store will not let Zhu's father suffer, so Zhu Ping'an did not insist on going with him.

Father Zhu went for a while and came back, with a total of five rabbit skins, each rabbit skin 12 Wen, a total of 60 Wen.

Seeing that his father had received all the money in the basket, Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "It's a lot of money, I went back to my mother, and my mother must be very happy." ”

"No, we can only keep twenty-four wen for this money, and the rest will be given to my grandmother." Father Zhu touched Zhu Ping'an's head amusefully and explained.

Oh, remembered.

The rules of the Zhu family stipulate that all the income obtained from occupying the time that should be done farm work during the day must be returned to the public, and the private income at night or other times when there is no farm work must also be handed over to eighty percent.

In ancient times, private property was not allowed if there was no separation.

I went up the mountain during the day to do farm work, so all the income from going up the mountain should be returned to the public account; In the case of bamboo weaving, because most of them are made by my father at night, I have to hand over eighty percent of my income.

All the money from the sale of rabbit skins had to be confiscated by the grandmother. In addition to the rabbit skins to be handed over, the fifty wen of the income from the mountain delicacies and game must also be handed over.

Of course, my father's money for selling bamboo weaving also had to be handed over eighty percent, and this time my father's bamboo weaving was also sold for one hundred and twenty wen, and if I handed it in, I had to hand over almost 100 wen.

In other words, everything this time was the result of my father's hard work, but this time I had to hand in a total of almost 200 documents. If it weren't for his own honeysuckle, his father would only be able to leave about 20 wen this time.

As far as Zhu Ping'an knows, the uncle's family seems to have never paid a penny to the family, but always withdraws money from the family's account, and the uncle's poems, books, and ink also have money for going out to meet friends; The third uncle's family has friends, but there are very few; The fourth uncle's family, forget it, the fourth uncle and the little fourth aunt are also thinking about the law to take advantage of the account.

Although they paid a lot of money, their grandparents often favored the family of the eldest uncle and the fourth uncle.

When something happened at home, my grandmother often asked my father to pay, and my father was happy to pay the money, so my mother Chen and my father were angry many times.

Filial piety is due, but it is also necessary to take care of the family. The eldest brother will get married in a few years, and he has to save money for the eldest brother to marry a daughter-in-law. Besides, if something changes in the house, you have to be prepared.

Therefore, it is necessary to brainwash my father.

"Why do you want to give it to your grandmother?" Zhu Ping'an raised his head and asked.

"Because we have to eat, we all eat at home." Zhu's father explained.

Pouting.

"The honeysuckle was promised to me by my grandmother, so I want to keep the money, and the silver naked child was also given to me by someone else." Zhu Ping'an made a child look like a scoundrel.

Zhu's father thought about it, well, indeed, when he came back from the mountain, the whole family laughed at the flowers picked by Yu'er, and his mother did say that the honeysuckle returned to Yi'er.

"Well, okay." Father Zhu nodded.

"Dad, I used to sell bamboo weaving in the town, how much can I sell at one time? How much does it cost to give a grandmother? Zhu Ping'an saw that Zhu's father agreed, and felt that Zhu's father could still be saved, so he asked casually.

Father Zhu replied while packing up the house's belongings, "In the past, I could sell sixty or seventy wen at a time, and I would give it to my family about fifty wen." ”

"Then let's sell bamboo weaving for my grandmother more than 10 wen and give my grandmother 60 wen this time." Zhu Ping'an looks like a filial and good child.

In this way, in addition to the money spent on honeysuckle, this income can leave 60 Wen.

"Huh?" Father Zhu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's not like that, this time the bamboo weaving is also sold a lot." ”

"Yes, Brother Biao, you are still young and can't count." The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan also said.

This method didn't work, so Zhu Ping'an had to change the way.

"The eldest aunt and the fourth aunt both have silver hairpins, and my mother has been greedy for a long time, but she hasn't saved enough money." Zhu Ping'an's eyes showed the scene of his mother Chen's envy of the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, which was quite infectious.

Zhu's father also thought of the Chen family at home, and he paid a lot for this family, and he should save some money to make his daughter-in-law happy.

In the end, Zhu's father nodded and agreed, carefully divided the silver money into two parts, handed it over to the family and put it aside, and the other money, including honeysuckle, was carefully wrapped and put in Zhu Ping'an's small back basket, covered with the leftover grass from the cow.

Before returning home from the town, Zhu's father bought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea at the market, and bought some other daily necessities.

Zhu Ping'an also bought two meat buns, wrapped them in paper and carefully placed them under the back basket to cover them.

Zhu's father thought it was a child's greed, so he asked.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an replied, "The meat buns I ate in the morning are delicious, and I want to take them back to my mother to taste." ”

This made Zhu's father's face a little hot, and the youngest son remembered to bring things to Chen, but he didn't even think of taking the initiative to buy things for Chen.

Fortunately, it's not too late to make amends, because Zhu's father doesn't have much money in his hands, so he can't have some jewelry or other things to please Chen, but it's still okay to buy some cloth and go back and let Chen make two new sets of clothes for himself. Thinking about Chen's delicate appearance in new clothes, Zhu's father's big mouth grinned.

There was a cloth shop not far from the stall, and Zhu's father led his two sons into the cloth shop. The area of the shop is much larger than that of the medicine hall, and as soon as you enter the door, you will be dazzled by the colorful cloth inside.

"The guest officer is here to buy cloth, please here."

The shop guy was also transparent and tight, and he didn't guide Father Zhu and them to the silk weaving area, but directly guided Father Zhu and them to the moderately priced cotton area.

"We are all authentic Songhu cotton cloth, directly purchased from Songjiang Mansion, exquisite, firm and beautiful, whether it is to make clothes or bedding are sought-after tight, the price is also affordable." The shopkeeper can speak well, and his ability to observe words and colors is also very strong, as if he can see through what Zhu's father thinks, and finally emphasizes that the price is affordable.

Songjiang Mansion is the world, and the Zodiac Po Gong Ze Kyushu. Sure enough, I didn't expect that Songjiang cotton cloth had spread far away to the towns at the foot of the mountain.

"How much does this cloth cost?" Father Zhu asked, pointing to a cotton cloth with a white background of peach blossoms.

"120 big bucks a horse." The shopkeeper replied, "This piece of cloth can be used to make 8 tops, and if it is to make culottes, it can be made into 12 pieces, which is very cost-effective." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, one horse was equal to four zhang, one zhang was ten feet, and one foot was converted into a modern unit of 031 meters, which means that a piece of cloth was about twelve meters
