Chapter 62: Counting the Money

Finally arrived in town.

"Daddy, are you going to the academy now? Or wait a while? When I arrived at the fork in the road, Zhihua asked Daddy Fang.

"I'll send you to the store and settle down, I'll go to the academy with your brother again." Father Fang thought for a moment. There are a lot of people coming to the house today, and I'm afraid it won't be good to settle down for a while. After thinking about it, I decided to go to the store first.

"That's okay, I'll put some braised vegetables in it when the time comes, and you can bring it to Mr." Zhihua thought about it for a while, and also agreed with Daddy Fang's idea.

When I arrived at the front of the store, there were already a few customers waiting.

Seeing this, Father Fang hurriedly went to greet a few guests.

The Fang Wen brothers, Jing Cheng and Zhiqi quickly went to pull down the boards on the door of the store and put them away.

When Fang A-Niang and the others pulled off the first board, they squeezed into the store through the cracks. By the time Zhihua entered the store, the braised vegetables had already been put on the plate.

At this time, Daddy Fang also beckoned the guests into the store.

The customers were not angry, but yesterday they saw that the painter's shop was not open, they were all old customers, and they liked the family very much, and they were afraid that something would happen to them, so they came to wait outside the store early.

At this time, they knew that they were safe, and they were very happy.

"Auntie, you give those guests, each of them load three taels of braised vegetables and let Daddy send them over." For these people who are worried about their own home, Zhihua is very grateful.

"Okay, I'll get it and let your father bring it over." Fang A-Niang answered, picked up the clean plate next to her, and began to pick up the dishes.

When the food was delivered, the guests were very surprised. They didn't expect that they only cared about the family slightly, and they sent them braised vegetables. In addition, Father Fang spoke very insightfully, and everyone chatted after a while.

Father Fang and the others chatted happily, and the ladies also cleaned up the inside and outside of the store.

Everything in the shop is back on track.

"Brother Fang Wen, I still have some things to do and have to go to the back, and the fried chicken here has to be watched by you." The idea of wanting to buy an ox cart is deep-rooted, and now that Zhihua sees that everything is in order, he just wants to quickly go in and count the money with the money box. It's just that the fried chicken is usually her staring at here. At this point she was leaving, and she had to ask for something.

"Okay sister, you hurry up and get busy, there are two of us brothers watching here, you can't be wrong!" Fang Wen patted his chest, and the movements in his hands quickly began to fry the chicken.

"What could go wrong? You two were brought out by a talented uncle, so I can naturally rest assured that you are doing things. Zhihua responded with a smile, turned around and hugged the money box, and went into the courtyard behind.

The courtyard behind this could have been inhabitable, but everyone was reluctant to see their relatives when Father Fang, father and son worked hard for a day of school, and when they came back at night, they still couldn't see their relatives. So let Uncle Youcai take the father and son home every day.

Zhihua took the money box and came to the back room at this time, along with Grandpa Fang and Wu Peiye.

Daddy Fang, they had already gone to school with the pickled vegetables that Zhihua gave to Mr. Liao. Jing Cheng had never been to a village school, and he was very curious about this, so he also followed Father Fang and them.

"Ouch, I'm exhausted!" Zhihua finally put the money box on the table, and the whole person sat down on the chair tiredly.

Not to mention, this thing is really heavy.

Zhihua can't help but feel nostalgic for modern banknotes and various payment methods.

That's so convenient, it's OK to go out with a mobile phone.

Like this, a silver ingot can kill people when it goes down.

TND, old and heavy.

"Draw girl, you can rest for a while. We're not in a hurry for a while. "Grandpa Fang was talking to Wu Peiye in the back room, but Zhihua came in with a money box, and he tired himself like this.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, it's hard for me to weigh so much. Let's quickly count the money, I still think that our family will buy an ox cart today. Zhihua gasped, answered Grandpa Fang with a smile, reached out and touched the key hanging on his waist, and quickly opened the money box.

Boom~

Copper plates and silver horns rolled all over the table.

"Wow! How are there so many! Grandpa Fang looked at the table full of money, and the whole person was shocked.

To be honest, Zhihua didn't expect to make so much money.

But she quickly calmed down.

"Grandpa, don't be stunned, let's quickly count the money." Zhihua greeted, took a stool and sat down at the table first and began to count.

Because there are too many copper plates, and the silver slots and copper plates are mixed together.

They had to pick out all the silver horns before they could count the copper plates.

Wu Peiye also came over to help.

So, the three of them quietly counted the money.

Zhihua first picked out all the silver horns into a small box, and the rest of the copper coins were threaded with fine hemp rope.

Wu Peiye hadn't done the work of counting silver for many years.

The old lady has been pampered all these years, and finally looks up to the people at the bottom.

Hey, don't say it.

It's really nice to count the silver.

Looking at the copper coins, there will be a sense of pride in my heart from the inside out.

I count, I count, I count.

The three of them counted the silver very highly!

"I have a total of 568 taels of copper coins here, sir, how many silver horns do you have there?" Because there were too many copper plates, Zhihua and Grandpa Fang counted the copper plates intently, and the silver slot was handed over to Wu Peiye to be responsible.

"Oh, I have a total of 346 taels of silver here." Wu Peiye reported the number he calculated.

"568 plus 364 taels, so to speak, our family has earned a total of 932 taels of silver during this time."

"Oh my God, there are so many? That's a thousand taels less. Grandpa Fang was very surprised. He knew that his shop could make money, after all, there were so many customers who came every day, and the big guys were busy enough. He originally thought that he would be able to earn two hundred taels a month, and it would be the sky. Who would have thought that this was a small amount of 1,000 taels of silver.

Mother, this is unimaginable.

Wu Peiye was also shocked in his heart.

He has seen a lot of shops that earn more than this.

But a small shop, still opened in such a remote town, can earn nearly 1,000 taels a month.

That's pretty impressive.

Wu Peiye knew that all this was the idea of Zhihua, and he was even more satisfied with this little girl in his heart, and a certain idea gradually took root.

Zhihua looked at Grandpa Fang's shocked appearance, and only felt funny in his heart.

In fact, she is not as relaxed as she appears on the surface.

All the money in the family was invested in this shop, and the family trusted her so much, Zhihua was really afraid that the shop's profit this month did not achieve the desired result.

She was afraid of living up to her family's expectations and trust in her.

Now it's good, the shop has earned a little 1,000 taels in less than a month.

She could finally hand in a perfect answer.

Zhihua was happy when he thought of this, and thought that his family was about to open a chicken farm, and he only felt that life was full of hope for a while.

"Grandpa, I will work hard to earn more money for our family in the future, you are so surprised now, then if I earn 100,000 taels or 1 million taels back, your jaw will not fall in shock!" Zhihua joked with a smile.

"You, you, I didn't expect it! You're a good girl, now I dare to laugh at your grandpa, I'll tell your grandma later, let her cook less for you when she cooks in the future! Grandpa Fang gritted his teeth and pretended to be an angry "threat".

Zhihua knew that Grandpa was joking with her, so he hurriedly cooperated with him, holding his head and begging for mercy. "Grandpa spares his life, the little one is growing his body, and this meal can't be missing. You don't care about the villain, don't tell grandma? ”

"Come on, it's up to you to perform." Grandpa Fang said this arrogantly.

"Yes, the little ones must behave well." Zhihua saluted solemnly.

"Hahaha..."The two old men laughed out loud when they saw her pretending to be serious.

Zhihua scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the old man was almost smiling, Zhihua spoke.

"Grandpa, there are too many copper coins, and it's inconvenient to pick them up. Wait a while, you accompany me, let's go to the money bank together and exchange some of these copper coins for silver tickets. And those silver horns, which are too broken, let's exchange those for silver tickets as well. Zhihua touched the copper money mountain on the table.

"It's okay, but we can't all exchange this silver slot for a silver ticket. If you want me to see, it is better to only exchange a part of the silver tickets, and the rest can be exchanged for silver ingots with relatively large denominations, so that it is convenient to use at that time, and you don't have to go to the money bank all the time to withdraw money. ”

Zhihua thought about it, and it was indeed like what Grandpa Fang said.

"Okay, Grandpa is still thoughtful, just do as you say. It's not too early now, so let's go and change it. And I want to buy a cow, grandpa, do you know how to pick livestock? Zhihua wanted to buy an ox cart, so he quickly asked Grandpa Fang.

"How could it not? In our households, picking livestock is the least work. Grandpa Fang mentioned the work he was good at, and the whole person was instantly very proud.

I think all the livestock in the dart game back then were picked by him!

As soon as Zhihua heard Grandpa Fang's words, he instantly relieved his heart.

Grandpa Fang can pick livestock, and he doesn't have to trouble others.

The grandparents and grandchildren discussed it, and they didn't delay any longer, and went straight to the money village when they went out.

"Sir, do you know which bank has a better reputation?" Zhihua looked at the two money houses in front of him, and didn't know which one to go into, so he asked the well-informed Wu Peiye

Because it was okay to stay alone in the store, Wu Peiye also came with Grandpa Fang and them.

"Hengtong Money Bank is better, this is a money bank that is available all over the country, and you can withdraw money anywhere. And there has never been a case of customer fraud. Wu Peiye thought for a moment, and then said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhihua greeted Grandpa Fang, and entered Hengtong Money Village with the money box in his arms.

The inside of the shop is very clean, and there are two pots of flowers near the door.

A shopkeeper in a green silk robe was seriously calculating behind the counter.

The three of them entered the shop and went straight to the counter.

The shopkeeper was about to have a good time when he heard the footsteps of someone entering the store.

He looked up and saw that two old men with a little girl had arrived at the counter.

"Little girl, are you here to save money?" The shopkeeper saw that this girl was cute, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, uncle. We're here to save money. Seeing the kindness of the shopkeeper, Zhihua also smiled sweetly.

"That's a good feeling." The shopkeeper replied with a smile, and greeted Grandpa Fang and the others.

When I made it clear that they had saved a lot of money, the smile on their faces became even brighter.

"Sixth son, here we are. You go make a few cups of good tea first. The shopkeeper shouted, and after a while, a young man came out of the back hall. He looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had a tray in his hand with exactly three cups of tea on it.

"That's right, two old men and little girl, you have too many copper plates here, we have to go to the back and count them. In this way, you will drink tea here and wait for a while, and when I have counted the quantity, I will come to you to handle the bill, what do you think? The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"It's supposed to be done this way, this money is a big deal, it's normal for the shopkeeper to be careful, you go and get busy first, we don't have anything to do, and it's okay to wait for a while." Grandpa Fang was very satisfied with the attitude of this shopkeeper, and he also understood in his heart that this was just a normal process, people served them tea, and they were talking so well-spoken, Grandpa Fang naturally had nothing to disagree with.

"Hey, then I'll bother the two old men and the little girl to wait here for a while." The shopkeeper smiled in response, and turned to greet the young man. "Sixth son, take this money box to the back."

"Hey!" Liuzi answered, picked up the money box, and walked to the back quickly.

"Then I'll be out of company first." The shopkeeper greeted Grandpa Fang, turned around and walked to the back hall.

After a while, the shopkeeper came out.

"The copper coins were five hundred taels, and the silver was three hundred and sixty taels. According to your request, one hundred and sixty taels of silver shall be exchanged for ten taels of silver ingots, and here they shall be. The shopkeeper pointed to the small silver ingots on the tray on the table and asked Grandpa Fang to count them.

Grandpa Fang ordered it seriously. "That's right, it's enough."

"Well, that's good. The remaining seven hundred taels have been exchanged for silver tickets according to your requirements, and they are all here, you can order them. The shopkeeper took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Grandpa Fang, asking them to count the points.

Grandpa Fang had also seen silver tickets when he was walking darts before, but he was a little uneasy to see such a large denomination by himself, so he pulled Wu Peiye and asked him to help him look at it.

"Well, it's true." Wu Peiye looked at it carefully and made sure that these silver tickets were real.

Grandpa Fang listened to Wu Peiye's words, and his heart instantly became steady.

"We've already ordered, and the quantity is right." Grandpa Fang gave the shopkeeper an affirmative reply.

"That's good. Here's the bill, you guys put it away. In the future, if you want to withdraw money or something, you have to get the bills. The shopkeeper gave another advice.

"Okay, we've made a note of it, thank you, shopkeeper." Grandpa Fang took the bill into his arms and thanked the shopkeeper.

"Goodbye, Uncle Shopkeeper." Zhihua smiled and said goodbye to the shopkeeper.

"Goodbye, little girl." The shopkeeper also smiled and waved to Zhihua.

The grandfather and grandson took the silver ticket, and then they left the door of the money village and went straight to the livestock market.
