There are not many advantages to having a small yard, such as now...

The main courtyard was a little louder, and it was clearly heard from the side.

Now the courtyard is full of Cui's crying, Grandpa Bai's reprimand, and the coughing of the Bai family from time to time.

The yard is not large, and it is particularly crowded.

Han Chuan hung his head and pursed his lips.

Multiple people, more mouths, to put it mildly, but it is difficult to do - one more pair of chopsticks, one more spoonful of chestnut rice, more stewed chicken and one person to divide the meat and soup, if you think about it in the long run, the girl always has to marry, who should be the dowry? Where do you get married?

If it's a big family, Bai Sixi hasn't graduated yet, and he relies on Grandpa Bai's support alone, and because of the illness of the Bai family, the life of the Bai family is really not spacious, and even a little bit of help.

was probably scolded harshly, and Cui Shi also cried and defended, "You said that you want to accommodate and raise a little girl, but did your daughter-in-law say half a word?" How can you raise it? Do you still want to invite a mother-in-law and a girl to raise golden branches and jade leaves? We can't afford it! ”

Cui Shi cried, "Da Lang is sick every day when he lies in bed, your legs and feet can't be seen, Sixi still has to say kiss and buy a house... Do you have to marry a daughter-in-law and come back, like me, in this old house that you can't turn around! I'm willing, is my daughter-in-law willing! ”

Probably mentioned his frail and sickly son, but Grandpa Bai didn't say anything for a while.

Bai Sixi blushed, looking a little embarrassed, after all, it was his mother who was being trained in it, buried her head and scratched the back of her head, lowered her head to brush the bowl, Han Chuan put the bowl in Bai Sixi's hand on the bamboo basket as usual, and knocked Bai Sixi's forehead in the same way as Grandpa Bai, "Let's go, Uncle Shi will take you out for a walk." ”

Bai Si was overjoyed, "Uncle Shi? ”

Han Chuan laughed, "I'm Grandpa Bai's closed disciple, right?" You're Grandpa White's grandson, right? I call you grandpa master, call you sister-in-law, what should you call me? Do you have to call Uncle Shi? A slap on Bai Sixi's back, and the big lama raised his chin, "Let's go!" Sixizi, Uncle Shi led you out to see the world! ”

....

This logic is unassailable.

There's still an uncle lying in the cradle...

Bai Sixi took the inexplicable extra uncle, lightly covered the wooden door, turned left and right and went out of the alley, after not hearing his mother's voice, Bai Sixi felt more relaxed, his mother is really not bad, as long as you don't scoop food in her pot, she will treat you like her own aunt.

But if she touches the rice in her pot, let alone splash it on her grandfather, it will be sprinkled on Lao Tzu, the king of heaven, and his mother will do it.

It's a little confusing, and there have been situations where I said yes in front of my grandfather and turned my head to take care of my own business.

Is it really for the two dollars duck?

Bai Sixi felt that he didn't have to.

From the root, his mother didn't want Han Chuan to live at home, for fear of thinning the family's use, and for fear that his grandfather would spoil his little disciple. In fact, as long as there are people, as long as there is one heart, this day will only get better and better, and it is not that the pot cannot be opened, and there is no embarrassment that she will live on the street immediately...

Bai Sixi was sullen.

Han Chuan asked with a smile, "Today, I just left the palace gate, and the donkey cart turned left and right, and I arrived!" ”

Bai Sixi came back to his senses and responded, "Our family lives in Tieshi Hutong, which is very close to Dingjimen, and the neighbors are all old Beijingers, counting up to three generations, they are all following Emperor Taizong's side, if it is not Emperor Taizong's cook, if it is not Emperor Taizong's close guard, or the family of imperial doctors for many years..."

"It has to be close to the palace gate, and if the master is called, he can rush over immediately." Han Chuan nodded and replied, "The people who can live here, if nothing else, must have a stunt." Wherever you go, you can hold your head up. ”

Bai Sixi and Youyan walked east with Han Chuan, "That's not it!" It's all left over from the old generations! ”

Jiangcai's embarrassment and dullness gradually dissipated, and he pointed to Han Chuan, "Look at that road!" The court, the Guozi prison to go to school, and the six departments to be on duty, all have to take that road! Kyori called that path the 'ladder to the clouds'... There is a tethered horse trough, no matter what princes and nobles he is, when he gets there, the military attache dismounts, and the civil officials fall off the sedan chair, this is the rule handed down by the ancestors, and the thunder cannot be moved! ”

Han Chuan heard these statements for the first time, and listened with relish to Bai Sixi, who opened the chatterbox, bragging about it.

It's already dark.

The road is brightly lit, there is hot air everywhere, the fish set up at night stalls come out one after another, the sellers of Hu cakes, big dumplings, wontons, and steamed dumplings are all scattered under the wall and shouting, the wine shops and restaurants also hang lanterns, the endless stream of people gather together in twos and threes, and there are drunk drunkards singing to the sky at the top of their voices—this scene is even more lively than during the day.

Well...

The saints in the palace are a little less affectionate towards women, but they are quite concerned about the society.

Otherwise, there will be no scene of singing and dancing, and the people have clothes and drinks.

Where the stalls are set up, business is quite good.

In particular, there was a long line in front of the stall that sold sesame hu cakes, and the light of the stove fire shone very brightly in the big tandoor, and the cakes were spread thinly, and the offspring of the scones were sent to the stove to cook, and after a while, the smell of burnt and fresh sweetness came out.

Han Chuan and Bai Sixi lined up to buy four cakes, one for four cents, which was not expensive.

Han Chuan took a bite while it was hot, the puff pastry, the dough must have been kneaded with lard, the inner flesh was soft, and the black sesame seeds sprinkled on the cake surface were completely fragrant, and the taste in the mouth was not rich, but it was better to bake and eat it now, and it was very fragrant!

Han Chuan thought for a while and asked Sixi, "How much does wheat cost per bucket?" ”

Sixi thought for a while, "It's a good year today, there is no drought or waterlogging, and a bucket of wheat is about 200 yuan." ”

Han Chuan made a rough calculation in his heart, the cost of a sesame cake is only two cents, and there is a profit of two cents when he sells one, Han Chuan swept the crowd in line, and tentatively estimated that this stall can sell fifty cakes in one night, that is a profit of one hundred Wen, ten is one thousand Wen, and one month is four thousand Wen!

1,200 pennies, one tael of silver.

Converted into silver, it means that there are three taels of silver...

Han Chuan asked again, "Does this stall have to collect taxes and rent?" ”

Sixi frowned, "The money for renting the stall has to be given, it seems that it will be handed over to the first head of the alley, and the first head will be handed over to Jing Zhaoyin." I haven't heard of taxes, this kind of stall, who is going to count the running water for them! Renting an official's stall is paying taxes! ”

"What is the monthly rental fee for that stall?" Han Chuan pinched the cake in his hand.

"It seems to be a tael of silver." Sixi thought about it and was a little unsure, "Jing Zhaoyin has a few uncles who live next to our house, I'll help you ask another day." ”

If you are in addition to the monthly rent of one tael of silver, then there will be a net two taels per month.

Now, a seven-grade official has an annual salary of fifty taels of silver, and a monthly salary of only four taels!

Doing a food business... Violent... Profiteering...
