After ordering tables and chairs, Chun Tao separated from March and went home.

When I got home and finished eating, Chun Tao took out a pen and paper and began to calculate the accounts and make a budget.

Pay the rent, a tael of silver. Book tables and chairs, one or two seven hundred and fifty dollars. Dish money, two taels. Rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, two taels. Signboard...

How much does a signboard cost? Do you want to make a signboard? Let's do it! Since it is a store, it must have the basic appearance of a store. What about clothing? Do you want to be unified? Don't think about these things, if you want to live in someone, you have to buy some daily necessities! It really costs money.

Forget it, the problem of living should be overcome first, or solve other more important problems first. I have a bucket for rice, but it's not enough! Why don't you use the bucket you used to fill the rice? Then you have to order the plates for the dishes? Yes! It's annoying! Where did I get so much money!

Chun Tao roughly calculated and found that the money was not enough at all. I can only scrape together the money for two sets of tables and chairs, but where are the two sets of tables and chairs enough!

"That's not right!" It takes time for carpenters to make tables and chairs, it takes time to order plates, and it takes time to expand the stove, so I can't wait until the end of the month to pay dividends. Then I can order the tables, chairs and plates first, and wait for the rest to get the dividends before buying?

After thinking about the money, Chun Tao finally became less impetuous.

Solved the problem of money, what is the problem? Chun Tao carefully looked at the various items she listed.

Plate, um~ Is this plate made of wood, or is it made of terracotta? Let's use wood! Clay is childlike and easy to break. Speaking of which, I'm using child labor! Breaking the law and breaking the law! Chun Tao doesn't have so many worries in her heart, so it's easy to think about it.

Then I will go to the county seat again tomorrow and find a wooden lump to order a plate. After figuring out what she was going to do tomorrow, Chun Tao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately yawned, and she put down her pen and went to bed.

Besides, Erzhu's father, after returning home for dinner, he told Erzhuniang about it. "You say, should I help with this favor?"

"What do you ask me for? You can't think of it yourself. "Erzhu Niang concentrates on mending her clothes, and she doesn't want to take care of Erzhu's father.

"That person is not looking for my help, but looking for your brother, so I can't ask you?"

"Do you really want to listen to me?"

This woman is really, isn't she usually quite sharp? Why is it so grinding today? Erzhu's father smashed his mouth, "Just say it quickly!" ”

"I think I should help. The same woman, I can understand her. You say, what can we women do for a living? Helping people do laundry and selling embroidery, how much can you earn? Is it a showman? ”

"You're right, but in this matter, you said your brother, can you promise to help?"

"I can't say for sure, but don't worry, if my brother doesn't agree, I'll force him to agree. What a thing! I'll figure it out. ”

"It's... Why are you so willing to help? I don't usually see how much you like your younger siblings! ”

Erzhu Niang rewarded Erzhu's father with a roll of the eyes, "You said what you said, it made me feel like I didn't want to see her." But, at the beginning! I don't like her very much, that's a problem with her temperament, it's too unpleasant. But look at it, after this, let's not talk about her helping our family pickle duck eggs, let's talk about the dumplings. Quanyuyang County, then you have it, our business is getting better and better, although she was given a share, but that's how much! ”

Erzhu Niang said while Erzhu Father nodded. "And! Do you know where else to make this dumpling? ”

Didn't you just tell me if you said yes? How can anyone still know? "Brother and sister didn't say that they only taught us, it stands to reason that no one should know!" Erzhu's father's face became unsightly.

Erzhu Niang saw his thoughts, "Let me tell you, it's not that your younger brother and sister don't teach you, even if you do, you won't do it." My brother and sister handed over this method to the prayer building, and the dumplings there are also dumplings, but they are very fine, and they are not affordable for ordinary people like us. ”

Erzhu's father nodded suddenly, "If you want me to say, if this brother and sister are more powerful, they will definitely be a powerful character." ”

"She's good enough now, she's just a little bit lucky. She is kind to our family, this favor must be helped, I will go home tomorrow, you will leave home and wait. ”

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. Me! Just waiting for your good news. After this was done, Erzhu's father finally breathed a sigh of relief and found a comfortable position to lie down.

"But, boy and his father, you say, brother and sister..."Erzhu Niang heard a strange sound, and followed the source of the sound to find the snoring Erzhu father. I'm still talking! You just slept? Forget it, I'm asleep too, and I'll go home tomorrow! ”

Erzhu Niang patted Erzhu's father, and when she saw that he didn't react, she also lay down and fell asleep.

Chun Tao hurriedly went to the county seat after breakfast, and ordered a plate and a signboard with Mu Tuozi.

"I see that you have a lot of things to order with me, and this signboard is even if you have three hundred dollars."

"That's... That plate... Again... It's cheaper. ”

"This is already the cheapest, no matter how low it is, I don't even have the money to buy materials, and I can't get the capital back."

Everyone who does business says so, and I don't see anyone lose. Chun Tao can't say good things, it's just stubborn bargaining. "Again... Less! ”

"You're a person..."Forget it, I still earned such a big order and a little less. Mu Tuozi thought for a moment and agreed. "Forget it, it's not easy to see you, and I'll give you less. It used to be twelve dollars each, but now each counts you as ten dollars, okay? ”

One is two dollars cheaper, and twenty is forty dollars, which is not bad. Chun Tao nodded and said, "Thank you!" Ignorance... Want... How long will it take? ”

"You have so many things, plus my two apprentices, we are only three of us, and there are other buyers' things! At least! It will take half a month. ”

Half a month is not a long time, anyway, I have to wait for dividends, and I am not in a hurry. "Okay, then... Decide... Deposit... How much? ”

"I'll do the math for you, this signboard is 300 yuan, and 20 plates are 200 yuan, a total of half a tael of silver. Just press half of it! ”

Chun Tao looked at the money bag, and there was just half a tael of silver. "I... I'll give it all! You... How many ... Be attentive. ”

"Yo~ The little girl is very happy, don't worry! I'll definitely do the best for you. "Chun Tao's cheerfulness won the favor of Mu Tuozi.

"Many... Thanks a lot! Leaving Mu Tuozi's house, Chun Tao rushed home, and finally arrived before dinner.

After eating, Chun Tao took the children to dig bamboo shoots, and he really had no time to spare.

The large number of people is fast, and it didn't take long to dig a lot of bamboo shoots. But there are enough people to hoe, but there are not enough. Simply divide into two batches, one group of people digging bamboo shoots, and one group of people peeling bamboo shoots! Chun Tao thought about it and told Lamei what she thought.

"Good! Then I'll peel the bamboo shoots. ”

Chun Tao stopped her and handed her the hoe. "I'll go, you peeled it all day yesterday, and your hands are red, I'll go. You bring soybeans and adzuki beans to dig! Rice, Lin Tian, you follow me. ”

But my hands hurt too! Lin Tian looked at his hand, although he was not happy, he still went back with the rice.

"How long do you have to peel the bamboo shoots?" Lin Tian's hand was really painful, and he threw the bamboo shoots on the ground.

"Half a month, while the bamboo shoots are tender, make more."

"Why are you doing bamboo shoots! Is it bad to eat fresh straight? ”

Rice's hand also hurt badly, and he didn't dare to refute anything, just cater to it at this time. "Yes! Fresh bamboo shoots are also delicious. ”

"After this season, there will be no bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots are dried, and they are used at that time."

"If it weren't for Sister Lamei doing it, I would have thought you were fixing me!" Lin Tian muttered and muttered, although Chun Tao didn't hear it clearly, he also knew that he was saying bad things about himself.

"Rice, you... How is it? ”

"Huh?" What is she talking about? What do you mean? Rice looked at Lin Tian in confusion, but he lowered his head and didn't see it, so he pushed him.

"Oops! She just asked you, how are you doing here, are you used to it. Lin Tian didn't raise his head, and his tone was very perfunctory.

"It's good, there is food, shelter, and clothing."

"Good!" Chun Tao couldn't talk much to people she didn't know very well, so she didn't speak again after asking about it.

Lin Tian was so tired that he didn't want to speak, and he didn't dare to say it when he saw that neither of them spoke. In the huge courtyard, there is only the sound of bamboo shoots.
