23 Earn money

"I negotiated with him, and in the end I was given all the money. There are five of us in the family, exactly one for each person. ”

As he spoke, Qin Xiaoyao handed one to Song Yun, who was closest to him.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Song Yun saw that Song Ye was eating happily, and she couldn't get enough of it, so she took it directly.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao couldn't help but touch his sister-in-law's head.

Then he smiled and walked towards Liu.

"Mother, this is for you." Then, I picked a good one and handed it to Liu.

"I-I'm not going to eat it." Liu subconsciously refused. But I couldn't take my eyes off it.

It's not that she's gluttonous, it's that her family is so poor, and she hasn't eaten anything sweet for a long time. The body instinctively desires something.

"Oh, I said one for one person, mother, you can take it!" Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward with a smile and forcibly gave one to the Liu family.

Liu Shi took it.

"Thanks—thank you." blushed and said awkwardly.

"Thank you? It's all family. Qin Xiaoyao replied with a sneer.

Immediately, he walked to the two little ones.

"Let's go on a trip this time. Send this sugar gourd to your eldest brother. After speaking, he gave Song Ye the last intact sugar gourd.

"Okay, sister-in-law!" Song Ye happily accepted this task.

took the sugar gourd and ran away.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at the back of the little doll leaving, and his heart was happy.

Then, he also ate the sugar gourd in his hand.

Stuffing the sugar gourd into his mouth, Qin Xiaoyao began to take the contents of the back basket.

There were two bowls, about two catties of pork liver, and two bags of grain.

Seeing this, Liu was a little surprised.

Qin Xiaoyao explained: "Of the yams I brought to the town, ten catties were sold to Dr. Li of Baicaotang, and the rest were given to my father, and some I asked my father to give to Uncle Zhao." ”

Liu nodded, but didn't say anything.

The yam was originally brought back by her daughter-in-law, and it was her freedom to do with it as she wanted.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao was satisfied.

Then he told the Liu family about the situation of selling yams and his plans to sell yams to Laifulou in the future.

When Liu heard this, he was shocked.

"Six-six wen a catty?" There was some stammering.

Then, he quickly looked in the direction of the stove.

Rice was cooking on the stove.

In order to save food, she put a lot of yams in the pot.

I knew that this thing was more expensive than rice noodles, why was she willing to make it and eat it herself?

Qin Xiaoyao was amused by his mother-in-law's actions.

"Hmm." Smiled and responded.

"But that's the price given by Dr. Li, if you sell it to Laifu Building, I'm afraid it will have to be lower. But my Uncle Zhao is fair, and he won't hold it too low. She estimated that it might be possible to sell it for four cents a pound.

Liu nodded.

"The things in the mountains, I didn't go to the capital. If you can make money, you can do it. He said.

Qin Xiaoyao also nodded.

"Besides, this pork liver was given by my father. I'll take it to the stream later, and I'll just be able to add another dish. As he spoke, Qin Xiaoyao carried the pork liver.

Some are looking forward to eating pork liver soup later.

When Liu heard this, he felt a little grateful.

Although the in-laws came to the house to make trouble, it was indeed their family that did something wrong at that time.

"There are also these two bags of brown rice and brown noodles, each of which is ten catties. I went to town and bought it back by the way. ”

Qin Xiaoyao said, picked up two bags and went to the rice noodle jar.

"The cloth bag is from someone's store, and a total of ten cents are bet. The next time I go to town, I have to bring it back to my family. ”

"Now the rice and noodles at home are enough, mother, you can put more when cooking. Or the pancakes are also more burned. Don't be diluted. ”

"Huh." Ryu agreed.

Yam is so expensive, more expensive than brown rice and rough noodles, she won't dare to put it in the future.

Instead of yams, it is okay to add more brown rice to cook rice.

Qin Xiaoyao poured the brown rice and rough noodles into the jar, folded the cloth bag and put it away, and then looked at the Liu family again.

"Also, about Xianggong's legs—"

As soon as the words fell, Liu looked at Qin Xiaoyao nervously.

Dr. Li had already agreed, and he would come over in the afternoon to see Xianggong. The specific situation can only be determined after looking at it. ”

"However, Dr. Li said that if the situation is not serious, it will cost five or six hundred yuan."

Liu's complexion changed, a sad look.

Five or six hundred wen, in fact, it is really not expensive.

But the situation at home is ...... Even if it's five or six hundred words, she can't take it out.

Qin Xiaoyao saw Liu's expression, smiled, and said, "Don't worry too much about the medical expenses. ”

"If the sale of yam can be successful, it will not be a problem for us to make up five or six hundred yuan for medical expenses."

Liu was stunned.

Only then did he remember the matter of the yam and quickly nodded.

"However, what I'm worried about is that Xianggong's injury is not so easy."

Liu's face immediately became tense again.

"Doctor Li said that if it is serious, you have to use some expensive medicinal materials. In this case, it is possible to spend one or twenty taels of silver. ”

"One-twenty-two?" Liu stammered when he spoke.

Qin Xiaoyao sighed.

"Hmm." Answer.

"But—but our house—"Where did you get so much silver?"

At this moment, Liu seemed to have become an ant on a hot pot.

"Don't worry, I've already found a solution to the silver." Qin Xiaoyao said again.

Seeing Liu Shi coming over, he explained, "I'm going to talk to my father." ”

"He has agreed to lend us ten taels of silver. But my stepmother made a request to let the relevant minister write the document. Moreover, we have to pay back this money within half a year. ”

"The written note is supposed to be half a year...... But after half a year, can we pay it back? Liu muttered, his tone full of unconfidence.

"Naturally." Qin Xiaoyao said immediately.

"Although our family has no land, we can have our back to the mountain, and it is convenient to go up the mountain."

"There are a lot of good things in the mountains, as long as people are diligent, they don't have to worry about not making money."

Seeing that Liu's face was still sad, Qin Xiaoyao said again: "Isn't this yam a good example?" ”

"As long as Uncle Zhao is willing to help, the yam field he found has dug up all the yams, and it won't be a problem for us to sell it for more than two taels of silver."

Hearing this, Liu's expression was a little more relaxed.

"But yams aren't everywhere in the mountains." Then he said again.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled, "Is it only yam?" What shiitake mushrooms, wild fruits and game, can't they also be sold for money? ”

"As for the pheasants and hares I caught yesterday, those things are very popular in the town restaurants. It's those two hare skins, didn't I sell them for ten cents today? ”

Liu was stunned.

"Hare skins can also be sold for money?" Somewhat surprised.

"Hmm." Qin Xiaoyao responded.

"There is a grocery store in the town that specializes in skins. Not only hare skins can be sold for money, but also deerskins, fox skins, wolf skins, tiger skins and the like are more valuable. ”

"I used to see it when I was a girl, someone sent a tiger skin to the grocery store, and it was not very big, but it was sold directly for twenty taels!"
