Chapter 52: The money is running out

Shen Yuerong returned home after work and carefully counted the remaining money.

Recently, the expenses have been too large, and there is no extra input, so there is not much money left.

Before selling wine, the remaining ninety-two-four hangs ninety-six wen.

Renting the backyard of Wang Xiucai's house gave the rent for March, which was nine dollars.

I purchased shelves for drying medicinal herbs, bamboo dustpans, some pots, scissors, kitchen knives and other scattered tools, and spent seven hangs.

Brother Wu's sorghum wine brought thirty-five jars, and gave one or two silvers, and one or two and five hangs and twenty wen on credit.

The total amount of medicinal materials sent by the medicinal herb shop is two or five hanging money, and the medicinal herb shop is already difficult, so there is no credit.

Today's opening meal, the helper's lunch at noon, plus the morning artillery battle, cost a total of 52 wen.

In the end, I added two taels of silver for my younger brother to go to school.

Now there are only two taels of silver left on his body, plus three hangings, and forty copper plates.

From then on, every day, the fixed expenditure is also the money for lunch and groceries.

Shen Yuerong became more and more panicked, and the money couldn't help but be spent.

Fortunately, when this batch of wine is brewed, there will be a large amount of input.

This batch of wine needs to be watched carefully now, and there must be no problems.

When the winery was finished, I had to take Aunt Liu and Aunt Qian to Nanshan and pick the wolfberries.

This wolfberry is about to fall off, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it any later.

Pick as many as you can, continue to make wine after stocking, and then sell some of them to the herb shop.

Shen Yuerong settled the accounts, made up her mind, and fell asleep deeply.

Today, she is also busy and tired.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuerong's sister and brother came to Wang Xiucai's house.

Shen Nianhua went directly to Wang Xiucai's study, and Shen Yuerong also went to the backyard to work.

Shen Nianhua entered the study and found that Wang Xiucai was not there, so he dipped his fingers in some saliva and wrote on the table the strokes and characters that Shen Yuerong had taught before.

Wang Xiucai opened the curtain and came in and found that Shen Nianhua was writing seriously.

"Ahem." Wang Xiucai coughed.

Shen Nianhua immediately got up when he heard the movement, and made a respectful gesture: "Teacher, morning!" ”

Wang Xiucai nodded, and Shen Nianhua stood aside without sitting down.

My sister specially explained, although it was taught by Grandpa Wang, but the number of etiquette must not be less.

Wang Xiucai looked at Shen Nianhua's appearance and was quite satisfied: "Nian'er, sit down, today I will teach you "Mengqiu". ”

Wang Xiucai handed the book prepared in advance to Shen Nianhua.

Shen Nianhua turned the first page, and only knew one Wang character, and he couldn't understand the others.

"Teacher, I don't understand." Shen Nianhua scratched his head and looked at Wang Xiucai pitifully.

Wang Xiucai smiled: "It's okay, you read it with me, word by word, you will naturally understand it if you read it more." ”

Shen Nianhua nodded his head and cheered up the spirit.

Wang Xiucai read: "Wang Rong is brief, Pei Kai is clear." ”

Shen Nianhua followed and read: "Wang Rong is brief, Pei Kai is clear." ”

Wang Xiucai explained: "The meaning of this sentence is two people, one is called Wang Rong and the other is called Pei Kai. Let me tell you about this Wang Rong first. He is a simple and unconventional person, but he is also very intelligent. Wang Rong once played with his companions on the side of the road, and saw that there were plum trees full of plums on the side of the road, and others scrambled to pick them, only Wang Rong remained silent, and others asked him why he was like this, Nian'er, do you know? ”

Shen Nianhua listened attentively, and was a little panicked when Wang Xiucai asked a fierce question.

He lowered his head and thought for a while: "Is it because Wang Rong doesn't like to eat plums?" ”

Wang Xiucai smiled and shook his head: "Wang Rong said that the tree is beside the road and has many fruits, and the fruits must be bitter." ”

Shen Nianhua woke up like a dream: "Teacher, I know, Wang Rong means that the plum tree is on the side of the road, everyone can see it, if the plum is sweet, it has already been picked up, just like the mulberry tree in the north of the village, every time the fruit is ripe, it is picked by someone." ”

Wang Xiucai nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's what it means, what do you think when you heard this story that year?" ”

Shen Nianhua said without thinking: "If you see that you can't eat, you don't care about it, you have to think more." ”

Shen Nianhua remembered that every time he saw something delicious, he really didn't care about it, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

This morning, Shen Nianhua was listening to Wang Xiucai tell the stories of various celebrities, and Shen Nianhua listened very devotedly.

Grandpa Wang's teaching here is really interesting, and there are so many stories to listen to.

It's great to be able to learn a lot of words.

At noon, Shen Yuerong came to the front yard to have dinner with Xiucai and Shen Nianhua.

Aunt Sun and Qian in the backyard were also already eating, and Shen Yuerong asked them to rest for a while after eating.

This Aunt Sun and Qian don't need to worry too much, they work carefully and learn quickly.

Shen Yuerong can relax a little.

Shen Yuerong's sister and brother and Xiucai and his wife ate around the table.

After the four of them were full, they began to chatter.

"Grandpa Wang, has Nian'er caused you trouble?" Shen Yuerong asked Wang Xiucai.

Wang Xiucai shook his head: "No, Nian'er is still very well-behaved." ”

Shen Nianhua on the side also spoke: "Sister, Grandpa Wang's teaching is interesting, I told me a lot of stories today, Wang Rong is brief, Kuang Heng chisels the wall, and Liang Ji is ......"

Shen Nianhua was like a treasure, and while breaking his fingers, he read a few stories to Shen Yuerong that he remembered in the morning.

Shen Yuerong was quite surprised when she heard Shen Nianhua's words.

I've learned so much in just one morning, and my brother actually memorizes them all.

This Wang Xiucai really has a hand in teaching, and he actually attracts people with stories.

Shen Yuerong hurriedly thanked Wang Xiucai: "Grandpa Wang, you taught me so well, thank you so much!" ”

Wang Xiucai waved his hand: "No, since he is my disciple, I will naturally teach him well, but I will not hand in the three-character scripture and thousand-character text first according to the traditional school, I teach Nian'er Mengqiu in the hope that he can learn the truth of being a man faster." ”

Shen Yuerong was very satisfied with Wang Xiucai's arrangement.

The three-character scripture and thousand-character text are also good, but the people Meng Qiuli tells are a lot of stories behind everyone, and Nian'er can naturally learn some truths faster.

After learning the truth of being a human being, and then learning knowledge, it will naturally be handy.

Wang Xiucai then said to Shen Yuerong: "I watched Nian'er writing on the table in the morning, and I plan to pay close attention to this part of writing, and in the future, I will teach in the morning and write in the afternoon." ”

Shen Yuerong was very satisfied with Wang Xiucai's arrangement: "Grandpa Wang, your arrangement is really thoughtful, I will entrust it to you in the next year." ”

Fortunately, I chose to apprentice here with Grandpa Wang at that time, and if I was in the school, I don't know what it would become in the future.

Liu asked Shen Yuerong: "Yue'er, I think it will take at least ten days and half a month for the wine to be sold, what are the next arrangements?" ”

Shen Yuerong also thought about these questions today.

Due to the limited cost of his own, the amount of wine and medicinal herbs is not very large.

The existing wine and medicinal herbs can be busy in a few days, and it will take half a month to sell the wine, during which there will be a break.

Shen Yuerong said to Liu: "Grandma Liu, the wolfberries are about to fall, and I plan to finish the past few days and grab a batch of wolfberries." ”
