Chapter 20: Inventory of Belongings
Xuanshi smiled and said, "This thing is called pepper, of course you haven't seen it, we don't have it in this place, this is still left by a passing merchant when I was in Chongzhou before, saying that the food made in our restaurant is delicious, and it will taste better if you add some of this thing, so I left a bag." ”
"This thing looks red, I haven't eaten it before, at first I really didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, I added a little bit in my own meal, your father and I tried to eat a little, there was no problem, so I dared to add it to the meal."
"Because of this, the business of our restaurant will be better in the future."
Lin Changyuan and Xuan's left home a few years ago to go out to do business, and they did the business of restaurants.
Xuan's cooking skills are very good, her mother's family used to be a cooking restaurant business, but later because the family was sick, the restaurant was sold for treatment, and it has only declined since then.
She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has learned a lot of skills, thanks to this, otherwise they would not have thought of a good idea to make a living outside for a while.
Siqi took the bag again and looked at it, this is indeed chili, it seems that chili peppers have not been widely planted at this time, so she probably knows which dynasty it should be.
But this is not the same as what she remembers, and even if she knows this, it is probably useless.
Siqi tilted his head and asked her, "Mother, since this thing is so good, we can't waste it." ”
Xuanshi nodded, "Yes, I don't dare to waste it, it's just such a bag, and now there are so many left, I don't dare to use it, and I don't know how to grow this thing." ”
Siqi smiled and said, "Just plant like this, isn't we planting crops just throwing seeds into the ground?" There seems to be seeds in this thing, so that's how it should be, or try it? ”
Lin Changyuan also said, "I told your mother a long time ago, let her plant it and try it, but your mother has to say that she can't get it, for fear of wasting this thing, so she doesn't dare to move it." ”
Siqi looked at it, the pepper was still quite old and spicy, which meant that the seeds were ripe, and they should be able to germinate when they went down to the ground.
Chili peppers were very common in previous lives, and they were sold everywhere, but if they didn't have them at this time, they would be precious.
This thing will only get damp if it is left unattended, but it will really not be able to do it then, so it is most important to try it now.
Even if it's not to grow it to make money, it's good to keep a few peppers for your family, and it would be nice to have a taste to eat on weekdays.
Si Qi said coquettishly, "Mother, let's plant some outside the yard, let's see if we can live, okay?" ”
Xuan's was still reluctant, but his baby girl said so, where would she refuse, nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, listen to our son, plant if you want, I'll plant it tomorrow, okay?" ”
Siqi smiled and nodded, "Okay, this is shriveled." Do you want to soak it and plant it again? Otherwise, I don't think I will survive. ”
Xuanshi smiled and said, "We know a lot, the seeds just have to be soaked, although I don't know how to grow this thing, but I think it should be like this, let's try." ”
I have achieved my goal, Siqi is very happy, now it is a little late to plant peppers, but the impact is not great, and I don't know if the germination rate of this thing is high.
If we succeed, we will be able to harvest a lot of seeds in the fall, and we will be able to plant more in the coming year, and maybe it will be a chance to make a fortune.
She sat there and smirked, Lin Changyuan and Xuan glanced at each other, Xuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with his son?" What does a person think? Say it so that your father and mother will be happy and happy. ”
Siqi held his head and shook his head, "No, I just remembered that my mother just said that this thing is delicious, and I haven't tasted it, I don't know what it tastes like, but now I feel happy when I think about it." ”
Xuanshi smiled and said, "There are so many, how about I take some and put them in the dish for you to taste tomorrow?" ”
"Okay." Siqi nodded happily.
She thought to herself, I don't know how much I ate this thing in my previous life, but I'll give you a face now, so that you think I haven't seen it.
After cleaning up this last box, the things they brought back this time were also packed.
Now there is the most important thing, Lin Changyuan and Xuan's sit together, ready to count the belongings clearly, and when they sort out the number, they will be handed over to the public after dinner for a while.
The Lin family is not separated, they live together, since they are coming back, they can't hide their secrets, they have to hand them over.
Siqi originally wanted to go out, but when he saw that they were going to settle accounts, he was suddenly very curious, so he sat down again.
She wanted to know what the situation was like at home, her father and mother had been doing business outside, and the original owner had never asked.
Now that she's here, of course she has to be clear about this.
If you have any ideas in the future, you have to worry about the situation at home before you can implement them.
She was a child, and Lin Changyuan and Xuan's also felt that it was nothing, and they didn't let her out.
Lin Changyuan and Xuan's are both literate, and the shop was sold in a hurry before, and many things have not yet been accounted for, and the husband and wife have been writing and painting there for a long time, and they have finally sorted it out.
Xuanshi said, "We had more than fifty taels of silver on hand before, and the shop sold one hundred and forty taels of silver, and it was less than two hundred taels when added together, that's all. ”
Lin Changyuan nodded, "Well, I'll give it in a while." ”
Si Qi blinked on the side, she didn't know what the purchasing power of the silver was at this time, according to the memory of the original owner, she could almost know a rough idea.
Nearly two hundred taels of silver, this is not a small amount, I didn't expect my father and mother to have such a large sum of money.
Siqi tilted his head, blinked his eyes and said, "Daddy, we actually have so much silver." ”
Xuan's smiled, "Your father and I have been out for so many years, and we have saved so many belongings, but we have to buy the shop at the beginning, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to save it." ”
In the drought that year, many people's families were ruined and their wives were separated, but the Lin family was lucky and survived.
But even so, it has hollowed out the family's foundation, except for this house, there is nothing left, everything starts from scratch.
Lin Changyuan and his wife were all about their children and family, and almost all the money they earned in the first two years was given to the family, and later they bought a shop, and the silver for the family was less.
In this way, Du Shi was not happy, saying that they lived a good life outside and made the money clean, so they didn't take it home.
