Chapter 12: Money Fans
The boat really waits for no one, the cook just repeated the recipe she heard, and wanted to ask Yuan Dongchu about the specific method of fried rice cakes with shepherd's cabbage, but on the bow of the boat, the boat boss was already shouting loudly and was about to start the boat.
The cook glanced at her mother-in-law, and secretly complained that she was acting like she did at the beginning, which delayed a lot of time.
Although this Nizi has a heart, she doesn't look like a calculating person. If you take out the reward money early, you can't say that this girl is smooth, and she will come up with a few more recipes.
But she completely forgot that when she first learned that the eldest lady gave the country girl a reward of ten taels of silver, she was also reluctant in her heart.
But time waits for no one, so I have no choice but to go back with a lot of confusion.
Yuan Dongchu was polite, and watched the two get on the boat, before he greeted the two little sisters and planned to go back.
But the two little sisters looked at the direction of the big ship persistently, and were greeted twice by Yuan Dongchu, before they retracted their gaze as if they had just woken up from a dream, and their eyes were in a daze, turning from the big ship that had begun to get busy to Yuan Dongchu.
They weren't polite, they were stupid. Their gaze was completely unconscious, and they drifted away with the mother-in-law who came out with the money.
Thirty Wen had already made the two of them ecstatic, and what was even more unexpected was that the grandmother actually took out a money bag again.
It's a bounty, right? Right, yes?
At that moment, the two of them were stupid: there was really a reward! So...... So...... The thirty dollars, is it really divided between the two of them? Will one person have fifteen so much?
The wild vegetables that the poor people dislike and don't want to eat, and it is not too much, they are exchanged for fifteen cents...... How many grains do you have to buy!
"Hey, you two," Yuan Dongchu smiled, "It's a shame that the two of them didn't shoot flowers, otherwise, you two would have really been abducted by others." ”
It's a lot of money that I've never seen before.
The eyes of the two were withdrawn, but their expressions were still wooden, probably stunned by the huge gain.
"Oh, what did you say at the beginning of winter?" Xiuchun responded stupidly.
"Let's go, let's go down like this, the people on the dock still think we have a deep relationship with the people on the boat."
Although the words are heroic, in fact, Yuan Dongchu himself has never seen Qian's eyebrows flying.
In this kind of eyebrow dance, the thief gave the two of them a look and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go back and divide the money!" ”
The word "money" immediately poked the sensitive points of Xiuchun and the two, and the two immediately came back to their senses: "Let's go!" ”
Poor Yuan Dongchu wore to a poor family, and she was used to virtual payments, so she didn't feel the weight of silver at all.
The money bag was in her hand, and there was no real understanding of the number at all, but judging by her modern cognition: the reward of the rich should not be too shabby, how can there be ten taels of silver in the money bag, right?
But whether there are ten taels or not, you have to look at it to know.
So she was anxious and wanted to know...... It would be nice if it was ten taels, her father had tightened his belt for many years before he saved a dozen taels of silver.
So, Yuan Dongchu's mood was also very unproductive, and he hurriedly stuffed the two baskets in the hands of the two, and then took his own, and shared the money with the little sister who smiled like a fool.
When I returned to Mao'er Alley, I met familiar neighbors who greeted each other. Some neighbors who knew that they were selling wild vegetables yesterday, saw the three of them in high spirits, and knew that they were selling wild vegetables.
Surprised by the strange taste of the rich people, the neighbors also laughed and teased a few words.
Although I feel that this money is easy to make, I can't come to a big ship for ten days and a half months, and I really don't have much expectation to sell it for a penny or two every time.
In this different jubilant atmosphere, the three of them went straight to Yuan Dongchu's house.
Of course, there must be a quiet environment. Otherwise, if it is in Xiuchun's house, the family will be mixed up, and they will not have to do this matter in the future.
After entering Yuan Dongchu's house, the three of them were very careful and sneaky to close the doors and windows of the courtyard before sitting at the table, with joy and disbelief.
Yuan Dongchu, who had seen the world very well, reached out and took out the money bag in her arms, untied the port rope, and carefully poured out the silver inside.
Yuan Dongchu felt that the silver inside was neat to the touch, and at this time, it was placed on the table, and sure enough, there were ten small ingots and silver ingots.
Needless to say, a proper ten taels of silver!
That's a lot of money!
Xiaocui and Xiuchun, who had not been back to normal for a long time, looked at the silver ingots in front of them, and became at a loss again.
"Sister Dongchu...... This is silver, isn't it? Xiao Cui, who had always been calm, asked a ridiculous question, she had never seen such silver.
"Or else? What do you think it is? Yuan Dongchu asked with a smile.
"It's so beautiful with such a small silver ingot...... Can I touch it, early winter? Xiuchun asked.
"Of course I can......" Before Yuan Dongchu's words fell, Xiuchun had already quickly taken a small ingot, and while carefully rubbing it, he looked back and forth with starry eyes.
I don't know what words to use to describe it. Yuan Dongchu looked at the sky speechlessly, it was really Xiuchun, not reserved at all!
However, Yuan Dongchu had never seen such a silver ingot, and after complaining about Xiuchun for a second, she also picked one up and looked at it carefully.
Rich people just know how to play, and make the silver ingot so small, although it is a miniature version of the ingot, there are no tricks, but it is also unexpectedly small and cute.
Xiao Cui was actually the calmest of the three, and she couldn't bear to witness the two of them behaving in a financial way. Taking advantage of Yuan Dongchu's lack of attention, he touched Xiuchun several times with his elbow, and when Xiuchun looked at her in surprise, he gave her a very serious look.
Xiuchun was not really stupid, he immediately understood, quietly put the silver back, did it properly, and looked at Yuan Dongchu.
Yuan Dongchu was also addicted here, and just happened to see Xiuchun looking over, and asked with a smile: "Is this optimistic?" ”
Xiuchun nodded again and again, took out the string of money she had put away before, put it on the table, and said, "This is the money for selling vegetables, thirty wen." ”
At the same time, I was amazed again: a lot!
Xiao Cui spoke first, and said to Yuan Dongchu with a little embarrassment: "Before, we also said that we would share the money from selling vegetables with you, this ...... It turns out that there is really a reward. Otherwise, according to what you said at the beginning of the winter, if there is a reward, you will take the reward, and the two of us will share the money from selling vegetables. If the customer doesn't give the reward, let's share the food money together, Sister Dong Chu, you still take the big head, do you think it's okay? ”
After speaking, he added: "If you meet a stingy customer, the reward is not much, let's also share the food money together." ”
To be honest, looking at the little ingots in front of her, Xiao Cui was a little embarrassed to mention it. In the face of ten taels of silver, these thirty big coins are really very small.
But this is compared with ten taels of silver, if it is only based on wild vegetables, thirty wen is also an unexpected lot of money. Therefore, Yuan Dongchu cannot be set aside.
