Chapter 29 Dragon Boat Festival II
The ox cart he took when he came, and Uncle Ma's ox cart where the two of them still sat when he went back, just in time for his last trip. Probably because of the last trip, there were only two of them in the car.
When she returned home, she put her things in the stove room first, counted the money bag, and found that there were nearly 1,000 copper plates, nearly two taels of silver. Excluding the cost, I probably earned a little more than one or two silver this morning, but this is also because the rabbit was hunted by Song Jiu in the mountains, not counting money, and it was earned in vain.
However, if this trend continues, plus the previous savings at home, it will take about a month or two to buy a shop.
Wan Ge went to Song Jiu in a hurry, wanting to tell Song Jiu the news.
Song Jiu just mixed realgar with wine and sprinkled it in the corner of the courtyard of the house, and when his hands got some smell, he drew water and washed his hands in the yard. Seeing that Wange came over and shook the water on her hand, she asked her if she had cleaned up, and if she did, she would go over.
Wan Ge saw the wound on his arm sharply, grabbed someone's hand and asked him how he got it?
The wound had just scabbed, and there was still a bit of blood and tender flesh on it.
Song Yu glanced at it and said that he didn't care and said that he caught the wild boar the night before, and it had already scabbed, and it would be fine if he went back and gave it two more times of medicine and wine.
Wan Ge stared at the finger-long wound and clenched the money bag in his hand: "Let's open a shop!" With a serious face, he said very cautiously: "I calculated that with the money in the family, we will probably be able to build a small shop in the town after a few months of hard work." ”
"Didn't you say you would take a look at it yesterday? Why did you suddenly want to see the shop today? Song Yu put down his sleeves and reached out to touch Wan Ge's head, telling her not to think about it.
How can Orion go up the mountain without being injured, he has been to the mountains a lot less these days, and not every time he can meet a wild boar or something, it all depends on luck.
Wan Ge pulled down the person's hand and said word by word: "I'm not joking, I'm serious." It's so dangerous in the mountains, there are all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards. No matter how good you are, you are a human being. ”
If you encounter those things, you will be lucky to survive, and you will definitely get hurt. Such a long wound reached Song Jiu's mouth, but it was like being bitten by a mosquito, you can imagine how much he had suffered in the past.
Now that they have other ways to earn money, why do they have to go to the mountains so desperately to earn that life-saving money. The big deal is that it will be harder in the future, but at least the life will be stable and not dangerous.
"Let's open a shop, if we don't find a suitable one, let's rent one first."
Song Jiu stared at the person for a long time, and sighed: "I won't go to the mountains in the future, don't worry about it." The matter of the shop is considered in the long run, and the rent is forgotten, and you can always find the right one if you look for it slowly. ”
It's better to rent a shop than to buy a shop, and it's better to have a small yard. There is no land or anything at home, so it is better to find a person with a yard and move directly to the town to live, so that he can rest assured that he will be around.
The more Song Jiu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, but he didn't say it, he just secretly thought that when the time came, he would have to see a few more shops.
The matter of the shop was temporarily suppressed, and the two packed up and closed the door and went to Du Chun's house. When he arrived, Du Chun had already made three dishes and one soup, and the fragrance could be smelled at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Here, sit down for a while, there's a cooking dish, and it'll be good right away." Du Chun was busy working in the stove room, and hurriedly asked Zhao Zhuang to come out to greet him.
"It's not an outsider, it's so polite." Wan Ge said and rolled up her sleeves and walked into the stove room, Du Chun made vegetables, she washed some dirty dishes next to her and put them in the cupboard, and cleaned up the stove. Du Chun saw that there was a smile on his face, just like the evening song said, everyone is not an outsider who cares about that.
The last dish was quickly cooked, and Wan Ge helped to carry it out, and Du Chun followed closely with the dishes and chopsticks.
"Huh? Brother Chen, didn't they come? After setting up the dishes and chopsticks, Wange found that it was just two of them.
Du Chun added food to others, and said back to the evening song that Chen Kui and they were not here, saying that Liu Fang was a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
"Have you seen the doctor?" Wange sat down with dishes and chopsticks, Song Jiu on her left, and Du Chun on her right. The boxy table, two families, just one person, is not crowded.
"I said that I had seen it, let me rest well and don't move the tire gas again, probably because of the previous incident." Speaking of Liu Fang, Du Chun was also very worried: "Fortunately, the old woman was sent away, but I don't know what to do!" ”
There is a mother-in-law like Wang Yufang, who has nothing to do all day long, and she is holding on to people, and she can't do it if she doesn't want to move the fetus.
As soon as Du Chun finished speaking, his foot under the table was suddenly kicked, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Zhuang in confusion, and saw that someone glanced at Wan Ge, and then looked at Wan Ge's somewhat unnatural face Du Chun suddenly understood. hurriedly changed the topic and let them eat vegetables, saying that they learned to make a shredded chicken with others, and the first time they got it, they didn't know what it tasted like, so let them taste it quickly.
Wan Ge tasted it, his eyes lit up and he said it was delicious. If you add a little chili oil, sprinkle a little sesame seeds to make it even more fragrant. As she spoke, she remembered that she had made spicy rabbit meat by mistake, and couldn't help but wonder if she could also get something else besides rabbit meat.
After all, pork and rabbit meat are more expensive for ordinary people, if you get some duck meat and chicken, will more people buy them? And they are planning to open a shop, although they can get by just selling one or two things, but it is a little difficult to really earn more, so it is better to get something different.
Wan Ge ate the food and held back her thoughts for the time being, planning to go back and discuss it with Song Jiu again. For some reason, she always felt that when she told Song Jiu, he could give her clearer advice, so that her originally hazy thoughts gradually became clear and directional.
At the table, Zhao Zhuang and Song Jiu drank wine, casually asked about Song Jiu's current business, and asked him if he had any plans in the future.
Song Jiu now sells braised meat in addition to pork, and the good guy sells twenty or thirty catties a day in the morning, and the business is too good to be good. People like Lao Liu who see money are so red-eyed, even if Song Jiu sells cheaper than others, but once it is calculated, it will be a sure profit.
"I want to buy a shop." Song Jiu did not hide his plans: "But it is not so easy to find a suitable shop in a good location, so you have to wait." Now it's better to set up a stall first, and earn as much as you can. ”
After speaking, Song Yu jokingly asked Zhao Zhuang if he wanted to do it with him.
Zhao Zhuang waved his hand: "I think so, I still have to fish, and now I am busy with farming to help my family get fields, probably I don't have time to go!" ”
The Zhao family has a fishing boat, and they go fishing every day, and when they are lucky, they catch a lot of shrimp and shellfish and sell them in the town. In addition, the two of them are also diligent people, and they grow crops when they are not fishing. may not earn as much as Song Jiu, but it is also a lot.
"I just want to say you pay attention, a lot of people are red in the eyes of you." Song Jiu is a foreigner, and he is not close to the people in the village on weekdays, and he is not close to everyone. Now that I have suddenly started to make a fortune, it is difficult to ensure that I can't see the good of others with a small heart, and I want to toss some things.
The evening song was also very unhappy when she heard it, but she didn't speak.
People are like this, jealousy, only to see others inferior to themselves, but not to see a person who is not as good as themselves far beyond themselves.
Song Jiu sneered when he heard this, and disdainful: "They are all people with pink eye, and they have the ability to earn it themselves." "I don't have the ability to see others have the ability, it's purely sick. That's why he thought about buying a shop with a yard, so he didn't bother to see these people.
"I'll tell you anyway, you pay attention." After speaking, Zhao Zhuang picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Song Jiu, and it was dry.
After eating and sitting for a while, when Du Chun finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Song Jiu went back with Wange first. Zhao Zhuang and Du Chun still had to go to work in the field and didn't go with them, and Song Yu reminded them when he left that they didn't forget to call it a day and come over for dinner.
"I can't forget it." Zhao Zhuang waved his hand to someone, and then went to the ground with a hoe and Du Chun.
In the past two days, he was busy fishing and drying nets in the morning, and Du Chun did the work in the field alone. There is not much land, but it still takes some time to get it alone, and there is no fishing today, so Zhao Zhuang hurriedly carries a hoe to help.
This is the case with farmers, once they are lazy in their work in the fields, they miss the good time, and even if they plant crops, the harvest will not be much better.
When Song Jiu and the others got home, they began to prepare the dishes for the evening.
Two buckets of water were drawn from the well, one stood in front of the board to kill fish, and one sat next to him to choose vegetables and wash vegetables.
At this time, there were only two of them, and the evening song mentioned what she thought about when she was eating.
Song Yu didn't immediately answer the words of the evening song when he heard it, but turned around in his mind, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "It's not impossible, it's just that if you want to get it, our shop can't be too small, it's best to choose a room with a stove and a yard." ”
Song Jiu scraped the fish scales and continued: "You think, it's already hot like this now, and it will only get hotter when you go to dog days in the future." When the time comes, don't talk about mixed vegetables, even if the braised meat is put for a long time, it will have to change its taste. If you make it at home in advance, take it the next morning. The taste is secondary, and I am afraid that I will get up in the morning to be rancid. ”
It's okay to leave it for two days when it's cold, but once it's hot, it's not good. If you sell the rancid braised pork to others, isn't this a self-defeating signboard?
The evening song pinched the dish and stared at the eyebrows without saying a word.
"It's true that a shop with a yard will be more expensive, but it's also a lot more convenient." Of course, you don't have to worry about Wange being alone at home.
"It's just that we probably don't have enough money in our hands." Wan Ge estimated in his heart that the shop with a yard would cost more than 100 taels even in the town. They have a full load of calculations on hand, and they are only about a hundred taels, and they are afraid that there is some suspense if they want to take a plate.
"When the time comes, I'll ask someone to inquire." Song Jiu slaughtered the fish unhurriedly, looking calm and not in a hurry.
Wan Ge's inexplicable fluctuating heart also calmed down, as if Song Jiu was a piece of Zhenshan Stone, as long as he was there, all problems would be solved, which was reassuring.
She thought that this was probably the difference between having a roof and pillars in the house, and even if the sky fell, someone would stand up and protect it.
