Chapter 119: Building Matters

"Well, this lotus flower is sold to the people who burn incense in Huayun Temple, pray for blessings and make wishes on the lotus, and then burn it to the Bodhisattva. Today's business is very good, if Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang and the aunts of the Xu family also want to go to Huayun Temple to sell lotus, in the future, the three of you don't have to weave for our family, you can weave your own and go to Huayun Temple to sell lotus. After Huang Yiyun and Huang Li glanced at each other, Huang Yiyun smiled and said to Old Man Xu, Shi and Aunt Liu a few steps forward.

"Cheng, we borrowed the light of your Huang family again to make some loose money." After glancing at each other, the clan said.

"This lotus." Huang Yiyun didn't hide it privately, and told them the pros and cons, I was afraid that there would be more people following the trend, and it would not be so easy to sell in the future, and he also told them how to dye the lotus flowers one by one.

Even if Huang Yiyun didn't tell the three of them, the three of them would be able to figure it out, and if they did, they would be able to accept their own favors.

As Huang Yiyun said before, if it is sold for a few more days, the dyed lotus will follow suit, and if there are more people selling, it will naturally be difficult to sell.

In addition, Qingshan Village is not close to Huayun Temple in the county, and he can only earn so much money by going back and forth every day, and people are tired, and it is not cost-effective, Huang Yiyun also plans to take advantage of this wave of heat, plus those hawkers have not yet reacted to pondering and dyeing lotus flowers, and it will end in a few days.

"Big sister, after we sell it for two more days, won't we sell lotus flowers?" Huang Liu said with some pity.

"Don't sell it, in less than two days, follow the trend to sell dyed lotus flowers should come out, there are more people selling, business is not good, we are not close to the county, tossing back and forth, and can't make any money, then forget it." We have made a lot of money today, and if we sell it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we don't have to borrow the money to build a house, we have all made it up. ”

"Then, eldest sister, I'll count the money." The Huang family came back, busy weaving the lotus, and they didn't have time to count the money that sold the lotus, after the fourth brother heard the money, only left this sentence, he ran to the house, put the money from selling the lotus flower in the hall today, and with a little moonlight, the copper plates were strung together with a rope and strung into a hanging money.

The fifth, sixth and seventh brothers also followed behind the fourth brother and counted the money together.

The second sister and the third sister saw that the four little ones were too slow to count the money, and they also joined the ranks of counting the money.

It took them nearly three quarters of an hour to count the copper plates and string them together.

"How many." Huang Yiyun asked after seeing them count the strings of copper plates.

"A hundred and sixty-three denarii, and sixteen pieces of broken silver, and seventy-eight loose plates of brass." The second sister replied after counting the points.

"So much." Huang Li asked in shock after hearing this number on the side.

Huang Li's family heard that his family was selling lotus flowers, and he had sold out all those lotuses, and Huang Li's family also calculated in his heart that his family's income today was at least about fifteen or sixteen taels.

I didn't expect that this was far beyond my own imagination.

Then, Huang Li took the sixteen pieces of broken silver and weighed them, these sixteen pieces of broken silver are afraid that they are three taels, plus the previous one hundred and sixty-three hanging money, adding them together, and selling the lotus flower today will earn nineteen taels.

In addition to the lotus of the three families of the Zhang family, he rented a donkey cart and made more than eighteen taels.

Thinking of this number, Huang Li's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Our family won't be able to make so much money tomorrow, and in the next two days, it is estimated that we will be able to earn about five or six taels."

Selling lotus flowers in the next two days, as Huang Yiyun said before, the next day, although there were still people following the trend and selling lotus, but they hadn't figured out the dyed lotus flowers, and on the second day, the Huang family also sold quite well, at least more than Huang Yiyun thought.

I sold it for four taels and two dollars.

After the third day, the vendors who set up the stalls also figured out the dyed lotus flowers, and after the Liu family, the Zhang family and the Xu family also dyed the lotus flowers and sold them, the number of people who sold them increased, and the Huang family's business of selling lotus flowers naturally fell.

On the third day, the Huang family could only sell two taels of silver.

In the days that followed, the Huang family no longer went to Huayun Temple to sell lotus.

On the contrary, the Zhang family, the Liu family, and the Xu family are combined.

The three families weave lotus, dye and sell lotus.

The lotus money sold was divided equally between the three of them.

The Zhang family has an ox cart, which can save time and effort, and carry people and things.

And the Xu family's hand weaving is good, and their family is mainly weaving.

The Zhang family is responsible for dyeing, and the Liu family is responsible for selling it.

The division of labor is clear, and the efficiency is fast.

After selling for a while, the three of them made a lot of money.

April goes to May to come.

Since the Huang family did not sell lotus, they have not been idle.

The two Huang Congjiang brothers took a few small ones, and every morning, they walked around the fields to catch yellow eels for a while, and in the evening, after the sun went down, they also walked around to fish for yellow eels.

It's just that as they fished for longer and longer, after more and more time, Huang Congjiang found that there were not many yellow eels that could be caught.

However, in April, the yellow eels caught by the Huang family were also sold for nearly three taels of silver.

"Well, we are almost enough for the money that the boss said to have saved, and our family will build a house in August. Boss, tomorrow you go to Zhang's house early, carry a piece of meat, and say that our family will build a house in August, and buy the foundation by the way. Buy the foundation, let the village chief set it aside for our family as soon as possible, and while we are idle farmers, our family can also clean up the stones and weeds in the foundation, and we can also dig the foundation, cut down the wood and prepare for building a house in advance. After eating dinner that day, Huang Li suddenly said to everyone.

"The time to build a house has been determined, grandma, grandma, father, uncle, when the time comes, if you build a house at home, how many people will have to be recruited to build it, how much wages will be calculated, and whether there will be food or not."

"The eldest sister is right, the village chief is better at this than our family, boss, tomorrow you go to the village chief's house, just ask about it. The village chief's father and son get up early every day to go to the town to work, plus the village chief and his daughter-in-law also weave lotus flowers every day, and rush to the county to sell money. Huang Li nodded and replied.

"Okay, mother, I know." Huang Congjiang was also a little excited after seeing that the money he had built for his house had fallen.

"Otherwise, I'll go with my dad tomorrow!" Huang Yiyun thought about it and said.

"Eldest sister, I'll go with you." The second sister also followed.

"I'll go too."

"And me, I'll go too." After hearing that the eldest sister and the second sister had gone to the village chief's house, several of the younger ones spoke out one by one, and they all wanted to go.

"Cheng, go." When Huang Li saw this, he waved his hand and did not restrain them.
