"Oh."

Su Mo'er took out the money from her clothes and handed it to Deng Datou.

Seeing Su Mo'er giving money, Su Qi's small hands were clasped together, and his eyes were staring at the money.

"If you look at it, it's not yours to look at it again."

"Sister, when will we have endless money."

"Do you want the Stygian Coin?"

"......" The heat in Su Qi's heart was extinguished instantly, this sister! I can't let her look forward to it a little more.

I didn't know how to speak, there were a total of four or five people on the ox cart, Deng Datou waited for a while, but still didn't wait for anyone to arrive, and his face darkened slightly.

One less person is one less income.

But when I saw the wooden barrel that Su Mo'er was holding.

A little more smile on his face.

Two casks are also income.

Come a few more times, and you can earn an extra bun in two or three days. If you change it to steamed buns, it will be two.

Reach out and gently pat the scalper's neck a few times.

If it weren't for an old man raised at home, his life would not be so leisurely, and he could earn money to support his family by driving to the county seat every day.

During the summer and autumn harvests, you can also take time to help the family do some work in the field.

At the same time, there will be no delay in catching the bus.

It's the first in the village.

In the entire Liujiatun, the village chief's family can be richer than him.

Deng Datou thought about this, and the slight dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated.

I even began to wonder if I should raise another calf, the cow will always grow old one day.

Raise one more, and when the time comes, you can have one that can be rotated.

Now the two cows in the family are old.

……

Deng Datou's mind has nothing to do with Su Mo'er.

When the ox cart swayed to the county seat, the sky cleared.

However......

A sunny day in winter is colder than a gloomy day, and on a clear day, the sky is as blue as if it had been washed with water, but ...... The cold wind doesn't give face at all, but it blows people's faces.

When Su Moer and Su Qi went out, they both had homemade ointment on their faces.

So that you don't get carried away by the dry wind to carry the moisture off your face.

Carrying the basket to the market, Su Mo'er saw Zhang butcher selling meat.

Zhang Butcher's butcher's stall is never without business. After a few times, Su Mo'er and Zhang Butcher are also more familiar.

Seeing Zhang Butcher, Su Mo'er thought that the meat at home had been eaten.

How can you do it without eating meat when you replenish your body?

If you buy meat......

I don't have much money on my body, so I can only buy meat after selling the charcoal.

Hiss......

It's a good day.

Su Mo'er felt that she was a little pitiful at the moment.

"The little girl wants to buy meat again?" Zhang Butcher saw Su Mo'er open his mouth and said hello.

Su Mo'er nodded and shook her head again.

"I can buy the charcoal I brought before I can buy meat, does Uncle Zhang know who collects charcoal?"

"People who need charcoal have already signed a deed with charcoal burning, charcoal is different from firewood, and there are not many people in the county who can burn charcoal, so they will be booked in advance...... It's sold piecemeal, and it's not easy to get it. ”

Butcher Zhang frowned.

It's not that he doesn't help.

It's that he also has a weak heart.

After all......

Those who can burn charcoal are either rich or expensive, he is just a pork seller, he may be a figure in this market, but when he walks out of the market and faces the entire county, he can't mention it.

……

Su Qi picked up the back basket on the ground, glanced at Su Mo'er and said, "Sister, why don't we go to those shops on Xixie Street and ask?" ”

"You can try."

You have to be flexible in business.

There are all kinds of shops on Xixiao Street, with spices, fats, powders, cloths, grains and oils, and people who can buy things in these places will not be too poor.

There should be a brazier supply in the shop, and since there is such a thing as a brazier, you have to use charcoal.

There are so many shops in a street, if there is one need charcoal.

They didn't come in vain today, and the charcoal in two baskets could be burned for about a week.

How much does it cost......

Su Mo'er had a budget in her heart.

Originally, Su Mo'er planned to ask separately, but, considering that Su Qi was still young, the two of them walked into a food shop together, however, they were kicked out as soon as they walked in.

Su Moer......

Su Mo'er stood outside, looked up at the sky, this kind of rotten street stalk actually happened to her.

The guy in the shop hates the poor and loves the rich and snobbish......

Hiss!

"Sister, what's wrong with you, let's go to the next house if this one doesn't work, this street is so long, I can't tell which one needs charcoal in any business, sister, what we are carrying is not charcoal, this is money."

"......" The corners of Su Mo'er's mouth twitched, she just sighed, she didn't despair of life yet.

Su Qi's mentality is very good.

Su Mo'er put the basket on her back, turned around, and looked at the disgusted eyes of the young man behind her, in such a depressed place, you can't look down on other people's literacy.

Four or five shops were walked in succession.

Neither received anything.

Su Qi showed some disappointment on his face.

"Sister, what should I do?"

"Let's take a look here."

Su Mo'er pointed to the restaurant opposite.

There weren't many people in the restaurant.

Su Qi leaned against the wall and didn't want to move.

Su Mo'er took a breath, she walked half of this street, and she didn't sell the charcoal.

Seeing this restaurant, Su Mo'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe......

The charcoal can be sold.

The reason why Su Moer is so sure is because this shop is called an antique pot, which is the hot pot of later generations.

However, the pot in the shop is now pottery, the heat preservation is better, the pottery is a small stove below, and the burning is naturally charcoal, such a shop, it stands to reason that there is a high demand for charcoal fire.

It's clean inside.

There was not a single grease stain on the table, except for simple cutlery and a small stove.

When I wiped it with a snow-white rag, there was no yellow mark at all.

With such a shop, it stands to reason that business should be very good.

It's just that......

Very good.

I've already walked half a street. Su Mo'er walked in, and the young man who was busy inside saw Su Mo'er and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I don't want to eat it, do you need charcoal? We sell charcoal. ”

Su Mo'er put the basket on the car and tore off the things covered by the basket.

The young man's eyes glazed over.

I was about to kick the two out.

I saw that Su Mo'er and Su Qi's soles were the same, sewing and mending the shoes several times.

After thinking about it, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper." ”

"Thank you, little brother"

It's really not easy to meet someone who is a good talker.

Su Mo'er was so moved that she almost cried.

Especially in this small hot pot restaurant, it is relatively warm, and after sitting in it for a while, the body is warm.

Su Mo'er looked left and right, the people eating inside looked very clean, there was no lively picture of hot pot in later generations, several people got together, formed gangs, and ate and shouted.

Be quiet!

It's really weird to eat hot pot quietly.

Su Mo'er seems to know the reason why this shop's business is not doing well.

After a while, the shopkeeper inside walked out.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a cyan straight coat, his hair is neatly combed, and he looks at Sven very much, he should also be a person who has studied.

"Two girls, they're here to sell charcoal."

"Well, the shopkeeper can take a look at our charcoal before deciding if you want it?"

"Okay, let's see."

The shopkeeper lifted the basket and walked to a table with a charcoal.

Light a small stove and put charcoal in it, and after a while the black carbon burns, and the flame is vigorous, the charcoal turns red, and the flame is steaming.

"This charcoal is okay, if you have it in the future, you can continue to send it here, how about giving a basket of ten cents."

"Ten ......"

Su Mo'er gritted her teeth and nodded.

Selling charcoal is not an easy task.

Sell charcoal, cut down and burn charcoal in the southern mountains. His face was full of dust and smoke, and his temples were pale and his fingers were black.

If you want to sell charcoal to make money, you have to work hard.

More than 20 baskets of charcoal can be produced in one kiln.

It adds up to 200 Wen, and if it is transported by all, it can earn a lot of money in a winter.

It's just that......

Lack of labor.

The current income, if you hire long-term workers, I am afraid that some turnover is not good, and life is really hard.

Su Mo'er wants to return to her old business, if she is a veterinarian in the county, it is probably easier than selling charcoal.

But......

People in these years rarely take cats and dogs as masters, and veterinarians don't seem to have much future.

"How much charcoal can the shopkeeper eat?"

"The little girl can be sent over as many as she wants, and our owner will come here from the capital to inspect in two days, and charcoal will be indispensable when the time comes."

"Then I will continue to send you carbon tomorrow."

"Done, just send it over."

The shopkeeper nodded.

The young man led Su Mo'er to the courtyard, poured the charcoal in the basket into the firewood room, and the shopkeeper counted twenty copper plates and handed them to Su Mo'er.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Su Mo'er thanked her again, saw the shopkeeper waving her hand, and led Su Qi out of the small hot pot shop.

Get out of the shop.

Su Mo'er sighed softly.

After a few days of hard work, selling money...... It's not proportional to what you give.

"Sister, if you have money, in the future, we will send two baskets of charcoal here every day, which means that we will have an income of 20 wen every day."

Su Qi is not as negative as Su Mo'er, and his eyes burst with brilliant light when he speaks.

"Subtract the five dollars we paid for the ox cart, and our income today is only 15 Wen, and when we go to Zhang Butcher's place to buy a pound of meat, the money will be spent, and I don't even have the money to buy eggs."

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive firewood

After going out and becoming independent, I realized that the daily cost was staggering.

As soon as Su Mo'er said this, Su Qi's eyes were dull.

The money hasn't fallen into her hands yet, and she hasn't even made a splash, so that's it?

"Why don't we eat meat?"

Su Qi glanced at Su Mo'er and whispered a suggestion,

Su Mo'er rolled her eyes, after the flood, the family's physical quality was not very good.

If you don't hurry up and add it,

In the future, if there are conditions, I am afraid that this loss will not be able to make up.

"Listen to me, you have to eat meat, you have to eat eggs, you can eat meat for three days if you buy meat once, and we can buy a few eggs when we sell charcoal tomorrow."

“…… What eggs to buy, raise a few hens at home, you can lay eggs in a year, it just so happens that the mother is pregnant and can't do anything else, and it's okay to take care of the chicks. ”

"Chickens have to wait for spring, and hens don't hatch eggs in winter."

Su Mo'er sighed.
