Chapter 240: Settle the Score
"You say."
"Didn't we dig a cellar for you? We dug up a lot of soil, and we wanted to use it to make mud bricks, so as to save waste. This mud brick can be used to build the wall of the cellar, and it can also be used to make a courtyard wall, and then make a stove room, do you think this will work? Otherwise, it would be a waste to throw it away.
Mix this soil to make lime for mud bricks, and we can sell it directly to you. Isn't there a hill on the north side of our village? A few months ago, when we were cultivating the land to grow vegetables, we found that there was a lime mine under the mountain, so our family had a lime mine of our own.
According to what I said, the mud bricks used to build cellars, courtyard walls, and stove houses need to use about 100 yuan of lime, and the lime we sell to others is 10 cents a jun, and if we sell it to you, it will be half price, 5 cents a jun, and the total will be 500 yuan.
We know that Sister Jin Shu and Fifth Brother Xiao are not happy that we don't charge labor fees, so we will charge an extra one or two silver for the courtyard wall and stove room, including the labor cost of making mud bricks, so you give us an extra one or two halves of silver, and we will help you build the cellar, courtyard wall and stove room, what do you think? ”
"So?" Yun Jinshu calculated the account.
They originally had ten taels of silver, but after giving four taels of bricks and three taels of labor fees, there were only three taels left. If they could pay an extra silver or two to build the walls of the cellar, the stove room, and the courtyard wall, they could afford it, and it was quite cost-effective.
"Sister Jinshu, Fifth Brother Xiao, I'm just a messenger, my eldest brother has already settled the accounts, if you don't agree, we have to recalculate the accounts. It's so hot now, we still have to settle accounts, how tired are you, don't you say?
Lime money here, don't bargain with us, anyway, it's in the mountains, we dig it out and sell it at no cost, it's God's food, even if we sell it to you for a penny, we won't suffer.
Also, I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy, in fact, we can see that you are still short of money, how can anyone build a house and only build a house to live in, and not build a stove house, unless there is a shortage of money. Therefore, if you don't have the two halves of silver for the time being, you can pay the account on credit first, and I won't urge it.
In short, don't refuse us, it's really cost-effective to build a stove room, cellar, and courtyard wall with one or two halves of silver, Sister Jinshu, Fifth Brother Xiao, you really don't want to refuse, otherwise I'll go back to my brother now, and I won't be able to explain. ”
"Okay." Yun Jinshu and Xiao Xiao nodded. On Tuesday, the tigers talked about this, and they couldn't refuse.
And think about it too. She and Xiao Xiao always want not to owe favors to others, but do others want to owe them favors?
She cured Zhou Yingying's heart disease, and also helped her treat her legs, and even didn't accept medical fees, if Zhou Dahu didn't return this favor, I am afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.
"But Erhu, we don't need to take credit for this two halves of silver, just give it to you, we have money, and I just received three taels of consultation money from Qian Bawang yesterday."
"Okay, I'll go back and tell my brother about them. I'm going to get busy first, we all want to help you build the house sooner. ”
"Yes, okay." Yun Jinshu didn't say much and let Tuesday Tiger go.
"Xianggong, we still have three taels of silver left, and if we settle these two halves of silver, then there will only be one or two halves of silver left." Yun Jinshu calculates this account.
