Wu Hongsheng opened a few small bags for Wu Guifang.

Wu Guifang raised her eyes and took a closer look, and found that these small bags were actually wrapped in a few pieces of oiled paper.

"Boss, what are you buying?"

"Is this for me?"

Wu Hongsheng listened and nodded.

"Look, haven't you eaten a snack lately? I thought to myself, you should have finished the snack. Today, those boys sold out of kimchi, chili mixed with diced radish, and those salted duck eggs, salted eggs,...... In total, it was sold for more than 400 yuan. I feel that the profit here is quite considerable. ”

"When I passed by a few grain stores and butcher shops, and a dim sum shop, I spent money and bought some of them. I spent all the 456 pennies, and I only had the last two cents left in hand. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Guifang couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

She felt that he was very generous to herself.

Now, it is very likely that the person I am has changed, or that the perspective of looking at the problem has changed. So much so that she suddenly felt that the man in front of her seemed to be spending money.

So, Wu Guifang couldn't hold back and began to tell him the little secret hidden in her heart.

"In my opinion, you are a good father who is serious and responsible, and a good husband who is down-to-earth and steady, taking care of me."

"However, seeing that we are getting older day by day, we are all older than before. I thought to myself, we still have to be more leisurely when we spend money. Because old people like us have to save some money. ”

"When we were young, we had the ability and strength to do more work and help our children more. But when we get old, useless, and have no strength to work, I am especially worried that we will be disgusted and useless by the children! We can't earn money and can't fill our stomachs, so we can only reach out to the children and ask for it. If they don't give it, we can't do anything about them when we get old......"

Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Wu Hongsheng thought about it and really listened to it.

Time flies, and he is also in his fifties this year.

At the age of fifty, it is indeed time to save more pension money.

With a pension book in their hands, they don't have to worry about being old and helpless.

Old people like them, if they have no money on hand, and they happen to meet their sons and grandsons who refuse to pay for food to support them, then they can really only wait for death at that time.

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Hongsheng looked at Wu Guifang seriously and said, "Daughter-in-law, I understand." ”

"Don't worry, from now on, I will at least drop half of the money from our family's business and leave it to the two of us. The remaining half can be used as the expenses of the public school. ”

Although the Wu family said that it was a split at this time, it was a complete split. But where can those who live together be so clean?

This ancient is no more than modern.

Now, as long as you buy an extra house, let your children move out directly, and then smell from afar, all problems can almost be solved.

However, ancient times were different.

In ancient times, if they really divided their sons and daughters directly, let them live alone.

Then, those of them who have a single independent household must first pay a sum of money to establish a household at the yamen.

This annual account tax is unbelievable.

One household has to pay 300 yuan.

If the Wu family, which only has about 50 people, is really directly divided into 5 small households, then they will have to pay 1,200 more money every year than usual!

If you pay an extra 1,200 wen a year, you will get 12,000 wen in 10 years.

In this way, they, a large family, are only responsible for paying taxes to the yamen. What farm work do you still do, and what do you want to live a good life?

It's because the taxes and fees are too heavy this year, Wu Guifang thought about it, and felt that this matter was just that.

……

The dim sum that Wu Hongsheng bought for Wu Guifang tasted good.

On this table are peach cakes, osmanthus cakes, and a plate with a total of five small pieces of maltose.

"The maltose tastes pretty good. You taste it. It's just a bit sticky, though. ”

After Wu Hongsheng ate the piece of maltose in Wu Guifang's hand, he couldn't help but nod.

"It's sticky, but it's sweet!"

Seeing the sweetness of Wu Hongsheng's food, Wu Guifang couldn't help but ask again.

"By the way, what else did you buy earlier?"

"Our family still has to buy some millet, rice, wheat, and some staple foods to eat. Eating potatoes every day, I feel that my stomach is really unbearable. ”

The taste of potatoes is really good, it is indeed delicious, but it can't stand eating three meals a day. If she eats like this every day, she feels a little tired of it.

What's more, her favorite french fries are really fuel-guzzling.

She has already consumed the last bit of old oil on her hands.

She felt that she had been to the kind of food that she didn't eat oil or salt every day, and was all boiled or steamed directly, and she was really likely to be constipated.

Not to mention constipation, there is also the possibility of hemorrhoids for other reasons.

Wu Guifang knew that in ancient times, if a person had an attack of hemorrhoids, it would become an unspeakable pain.

When she thought of her a few days ago, every time she passed by the latrines in the backyard, she could accidentally see her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, gritting their teeth, looking hideous, and sweating profusely, she felt very embarrassed.

If you don't eat oil every day, you can't pull out,...... That's it.

Wu Guifang is actually very clear about these situations at home.

But she couldn't even say.

It is impossible for her to share the limited oil she has on hand with dozens of people in this family.

When she used to make scallion pancakes for the whole family, she found that the oil on hand was consumed very quickly.

So, after she did it a few times, she never made scallion pancakes for these people again.

Therefore, those precious cooking oils were eaten quietly by herself.

Unless the man at the head of the family has caught a lot of prey. For example, a wild boar was caught.

Then she will take matters into her own hands and fry the oil with the fat on the wild boar. Then make a big pot of vegetables with oil for the people at home.

"Master, since we went out to sell things so well this time, you can earn more than 400 yuan at once. That...... We can actually try something else. ”

"Try something?"

Wu Guifang explained with a smile, "Actually, when I occasionally go to sell things, the money still comes faster." ”

"After all, the county town is still so big, and there are still some rich people."

"So, if we make more good things with characteristics, for example, all kinds of snacks, snacks and so on. We should still be able to make money. ”
