Chapter 64: Inaugurated
Jin Mo and Zhong Dashan didn't have time to pay attention to their inner thoughts, nor did they pay attention to the envious eyes of these people when they looked at the two of them, their attention was not on these people at all.
Today is to settle the silver money with Shiweixuan, which was agreed with the other party at the beginning, once a month, each time the fish is sent to the catty two will be recorded, Zhong Dashan has a copy, Shiweixuan has a copy, so that at the end of the month, the account will be settled, and the silver money will soon be settled.
On this day, Zhong Dashan gave Zhong Qiang a day off, and the affairs of the family were handed over to the aunt and a few of them, the most important thing was the meal at noon, she told the aunt, don't be reluctant to use materials, they do all manual work, only after eating well, can they have the strength to work hard.
How could the Fang family not agree, they usually have to cook so many people's meals at home, but they are not so rich, and if they look at the daily salary of ten yuan, they will also do a good job.
The people in their two rooms have earned a lot from Dashan in the past few days, and the husband shirked not to pay at first, saying that helping is helping, how can he get money, Zhong Dashan is not doing it, this help is not a day or two can be completed, it will take a month, so he said with a straight face, if you don't get paid, then go back, you don't need their help, Zhong Dashan's temper is all known, and finally agreed to take the salary before he agreed to let his husband and son, brother-in-law and nephew stay.
Dashan's salary is not low, he has to have 25 wen a day, and there are five people in his family who help in Dashan's house, and they can earn more than 100 wen a day, and they have to have a few taels a month, and the husband used to go out to work for 20 wen a day, and he didn't include food.
When the husband and wife arrived at the county seat, they went to Shiweixuan first, and the fresh fish had to be sent over first, otherwise it would be easy to die.
As soon as the donkey cart approached, they were discovered by the sharp-eyed Xiao Er, and without them saying anything, they were directly taken to a private room upstairs, where the two of them sat down to make tea, and ran to the back to find the shopkeeper.
Xiao Er has seen Zhong Dashan and his wife a few times, and he also knows that the business in the store is so prosperous, and his salary has doubled, but it is all their credit, the fish they send every day, a two-pound fish is sold to three or two, and it is in short supply, many guests complain that there are too few, and every time the shopkeeper smiles and says to the guests, it's not that they don't want to supply, it's really not that there are not many fish, and others reluctantly agree to twenty a day, and they can't get it no matter how much.
Some guests said, and not only one seller of fish why just their family, and then buy other people's fish can not be, the shopkeeper was said that there is no way, let the guests themselves compare, the final result is that the guests have nothing to say, to the shopkeeper only came to the sentence "you are a shrewd".
That's why even if they dress ordinarily, he still entertains them warmly, no one is too happy with money, and no one wants to earn more.
"Hahaha, Zhong Niangzi, Zhong Xianggong, how is the house at home? Don't forget to call me and Lao You for a meal when the time comes. "The shopkeeper Qin didn't arrive, but the sound came first.
"The shopkeeper and Chef You are willing to appreciate the light, we are naturally welcome, but when the time comes, you two should not live in a humble house first." Jin Mo quipped.
"Mrs. Zhong, it's funny. I know you're busy, so I won't delay your time, let's reconcile the accounts and settle the accounts for you. When the shopkeeper Qin came in, he had a small ledger in his hand, and he spread the ledger on the table and said.
Zhong Dashan immediately took out their side, and also spread it out, the two sides compared, and the numbers on it were exactly the same, according to what was written in the contract, they could get thirty-eight taels this month.
"Come here for thirty-eight taels, you order." The money, the shopkeeper Qin was also ready early in the morning, and taking the account book or something was just a formality.
"Then thank you to the shopkeeper." Jin Mo picked up the money bag that the shopkeeper Qin had pushed in front of them, and turned it upside down, the weight was quite heavy.
The brother settled the accounts, even if it was only thirty-eight taels, Jin Mo didn't feel any shame, and counted it in front of the shopkeeper Qin, and then nodded to the shopkeeper, the number was not wrong, it was just right.
After settling the money with Shiweixuan, the husband and wife did not stay for long, they drove a donkey cart to the market, and just set up a stall, some old customers saw the two of them, and greeted Jin Mo with a smile, "Big sister, I haven't seen you for many days, and the family is busy?" ”
"Not yet, I have something to do today, so I came by myself. What's going on with this big sister? ”
"The old rules."
"Okay." Jin Mo skillfully wrapped the dried yellow eel and handed it to the eldest sister.
"That guy is a little shy, but he's very quick to do things."
"Yes, that's my eldest nephew, and we don't have time for the couple, so we let him bring it over and sell it. Originally, I planned not to go out of the stall for a while, but then I thought that many of them were regular customers, so I asked my nephew to come over. "There is basically no amount left over for the daily preparation, and Jin Mo knows that Zhong Qiang, a young man, should do a good job.
After that, people came to greet Jin Mo one after another, and asked how the affairs at home were handled with concern? Jin Mo answered them one by one very patiently.
Maybe it was because they didn't come out for a while, and when they saw them, they seemed more enthusiastic than before, and in just one hour, all they brought were eggs and some pickles.
There wasn't much left, so Jin Mo discussed with Zhong Dashan that he wouldn't sell it or go home, and he didn't look at it there, he always felt that his heart was not so steady.
It's not that I don't trust those people, it's just a feeling in my heart, I always feel that I have things left in my heart, and I always feel uncomfortable in the county.
Zhong Dashan has always listened to his daughter-in-law, and what Jin Mo says is what she says, so as soon as she proposed, she agreed without saying a word.
However, when they passed by the seed shop, Jin Mo asked Zhong Dashan to stop the car and went into the shop to buy the vegetable seeds that were sown next, including winter melon, pumpkin, loofah, and lentils.
After a while, he returned to the donkey cart, Zhong Dashan saw Jin Mo holding a paper bag in his hand, and asked curiously, "What did you buy?" ”
"Vegetable seeds, you have to have a variety of points, you can eat them in the summer."
"Okay, when I go back, I'll go plough the ground, and then you can plant." Although there are only two of them in the family, they still have to plant what should be planted.
"Okay."
In the days that followed, Zhong Dashan helped to work at home in the morning, and in the afternoon, he went to the field to turn the ground, without delay on both sides, and the golden foam was about the same, but there was one more thing, cooking for the workers at noon, and after eating, she had to prepare the things that would come out of the stall the next day, and in the afternoon, she had to go to the field with Zhong Dashan, one turned the ground, one sowed, and let Zhong Dashan water it when it was finished.
This day is really tiring enough, Zhong Dashan looked very distressed, so he persuaded him not to sell dried small fish and dried yellow eels, so let Zhong Qiang bring some eggs and kimchi out to sell every once in a while, and sell as much as he wants, not to force it.
Jin Mo thought about it, and finally agreed, the most tiring thing about making dried fish and dried yellow eels is the work of killing and smoking fish, which takes a lot of time.
"Auntie, will you take these to the market and sell them today?" Zhong Qiang looked at the only eggs and kimchi in the basket, and asked suspiciously.
"That's all, you watch and sell, if no one buys it, don't stay there, just come back."
"Will you sell it later?" Zhong Qiang bit his lip and asked.
"We'll talk about it then." She really can't answer this question, and when the house is built, she has to plan well and see what she wants to do next.
Business is definitely still going on, but it depends on what kind of business you want to do, of course, you still have to start small.
"Auntie, I'll go first."
"Well, slow down on the road."
"Okay." Zhong Qiang drove the donkey cart and moved slowly.
On June 18, the entire Zhong Dashan house was finally completed.
The two-story building in the backyard is relatively empty, and there is no furniture in it, which would be even more perfect if it were all in place.
After the house was completed, many people who had a good relationship with Zhong Dashan came up to see what the house was like.
But Zhong Dashan temporarily refused, the house had just been built, and it was very empty, only the room where the couple lived put something in it, which was also the first batch of new furniture to be sent in, from the bed to the table and chairs, as well as the woman's dresser, everything was available.
As for the furniture, after Zhong Dashan completed it in the backyard first, he asked the carpenter Zhong from the village with the same surname Zhong to come to the door, tell him what they needed one by one, and ask him to help them make it, because they wanted a lot, and it was impossible for the carpenter to complete it so quickly.
Those people were not annoyed when they were rejected, and said that it would be the same to wait for the day they were invited to visit.
That's right, when a new house is completed, it is necessary to treat guests, both as a custom and to add a little popularity to the new house.
Zhong Dashan's house suddenly became the most special case in the village, and they were all compared to each other, and there were so many people who sour things that they said day by day, they couldn't get rich by themselves, they had to take everyone with them, no matter how they said it, they were all ancestors.
Jin Mo usually doesn't go out much, and even when she goes out, she always follows Zhong Dashan, and she still heard this from the stone next door.
When she heard this, she sneered, thinking that she was an ancestor at this time, she was not an ancestor when her husband was starving and freezing alone, didn't she just see that they were rich, and she wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Let her take it with her to earn money, she is not a virgin, why should she take them, what does they have to do with her.
If you are not blind, you can see who are the people who come to her house to work, they are all willing to help Zhong Dashan when he is in difficulty, the icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, she must have helped her father-in-law's family if she wants to help, other people's families, hehe~~~ She is not so selfless!
