Chapter 551: Earned Money
Zhang Chi hurriedly put on his clothes and went out of the house, came outside to help his family clean up, and complained while cleaning up.
"Didn't I tell you, you don't have to work so late every day, and there is no shortage of money at home. You see, I was busy until one o'clock today, and I didn't come back until ......."
Zhang Jiaren was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, we are staying here, it's not good to find a job to make money?" No matter what you think, we're pretty happy anyway."
As he spoke, the old man glanced back.
Zhang Youpeng, who was following behind, immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's okay to stay at home all the time, it's lively and accomplished over there, don't you say?" ”
The latter sentence is naturally asked by Zhang Youliang next to him.
Zhang Youliang responded with a smile when he heard this, and then said to his nephew: "Seriously, Dachi, have you not been so lively in so many years here?" ”
Zhang Chi replied: "It's really not, that is, the entrance of the restaurant may be very crowded on Christmas morning, and there are really not so many people at other times."
Not to mention Amber, even if there are as many people as there are in Folson, this Folsom is still a small city, and if it is left in China, this population is a big deal and it is a township-level unit.
From the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the new year, it was almost full every day, not to mention that such a flow of people shocked Zhang Chi and Zhang Youliang, even the local white people who have lived here for hundreds of years were shocked.
Everyone thinks how suddenly there are so many people.
In fact, including Zhang Chi, I haven't counted, here for Christmas, there are more activities, and many people in many places are not very good, in fact, because there are many places, and the tourists are scattered.
As for the Chinese New Year activities in Amber Town, one is that there are few decent festivals in the United States from January to early February, and Americans are curious and love to join in the fun.
I have to say that this activity in Amber Town is quite good, although it is still a little different from the activities of celebrating the Spring Festival in domestic towns, but this is in the United States, not in domestic towns.
This can be regarded as having Chinese characteristics, so that even if he doesn't come on the first day and the second day, he will not come on the third day, and he will not come if he hears a friend who has been here say that it is fun?
Even if a man doesn't want to come, his wife and children have to pull him over.
There is also the fact that Amber Town is really distinctive, generally speaking, what does it feel for Americans to watch the Chinese New Year over the years? It's a group of people playing lions and dragon dances, and there are very few activities that they can get into, and no one in a small place has much knowledge, so they were given to the lake by Amber's gang.
Not to mention the lake or the lake, the atmosphere is still quite good these days.
"Don't get it, put the things that are easy to freeze in the house, throw these iron guys out directly, tomorrow the activities are over, what are you going to do with them."
Zhang Chi saw that his mother still had to make her own small stove, so he said something.
Li Xiumei was unhappy: "None of these things are money?" ”
"Won't you return it tomorrow, what are you carrying this thing into the house?" Zhang Chi was a little speechless, thinking that the old lady was too careful these days, and she had to carry a broken stove into the house.
Li Xiumei said: "What hasn't been returned yet, now it's not returned, it's our own thing."
"If you don't pay back the rented things, don't do this, it's very troublesome to do these here" Zhang Chi was mistaken, thinking that his mother wanted to hack someone's stove.
Li Xiumei said: "We have bought everything, and what else is returned, it is our own things, so naturally we have to carry them in the house."
"Huh!?"
Zhang Chi felt a little incredible: "What are we buying it for?" If you throw it in the corner next year, it will be rusty and unusable after a year, and this thing will only be used for a long time, and it will break if you don't use it."
Li Xiumei said: "Why not, we won't have to come over next year, we asked, the town will hold such an event next year, and the scene will be bigger, your father is now the consultant of next year's Spring Festival activities......."
Zhang Chi was not surprised at all, even a fool could see that the Spring Festival activities in Amber Town would definitely continue, not to mention anything else but so much passenger flow, it would be strange if Americans who love to make money could let it go.
Zhang Jiaren was still pretending to be at this time.
With a straight face, he hummed, and then said in an official tone: "Today's time is tight, the task is heavy, and some places have not been considered." I thought of some places, but the effect was not good, I was a little dissatisfied, but the result was still good, and the effect was considered to be seven ...... Well, about sixty percent, but I didn't expect the response to be so good......."
Poof!
Zhang Chi couldn't help but be happy.
Zhang Chi was happy, and everyone was happy.
Zhang Jiaren looked around and asked with a puzzled expression: "What are you laughing at?"
"I didn't laugh at anything, I didn't laugh at anything, old man, you better go back to the house early, don't freeze when the weather is so cold, I was working just now, and now it's cold if I'm not busy" Miao Guifang pushed his wife.
So Zhang Jiaren walked towards the house.
Since the things didn't need to be returned, Zhang Chi had to pull these things to the warehouse with the snow crawlers below, and after unloading the horses, he sent the horses back to the stable.
When Zhang Chi returned to the house, he found a group of money fans counting money in the living room, but fortunately, the coffee table at home was big enough to put down three piles of scattered tickets.
The three piles of tickets are about the same, because they are all snack businesses, although they are good, but it is impossible to make 10,000 knives or anything in one night, take the sugar gourd as an example, a sugar gourd is five dollars, and it takes 10,000 yuan to sell 2,000 pieces, and how long does it take to make 2,000 sugar gourds.
Zhang Chi sat next to him and stretched out his hand to help his grandmother sort out the money.
As soon as his hand was stretched out, he was slapped by his grandmother.
"I help".
Grandma took a five-yuan one, stuffed it into Zhang Chi's hand, and said like coaxing a child: "Play while playing, don't make trouble!" ”
Zhang Chi took five yuan, grabbed it with both hands, glanced at the light, then flicked it with his hand, and finally withdrew it into his pocket.
This kind of money-related thing didn't want him, so Zhang Chi had to go back to the kitchen and turn on the fire to reheat the half-finished soup in the original pot.
Waiting for the soup to heat up and the water to boil, Zhang Chi added some easy-to-cook ingredients, then added water starch, put more pepper, and this bowl of hot soup was ready.
The soup was served, served on a tray, and delivered to a few elderly money fans in the living room.
"Uncle, uncle, your soup".
"Okay, come!"
Uncle Niang smiled and gave Zhang Chi a five-yuan yuan.
"Thank you for tipping!"
Zhang Chi also has to be funny.
After turning around like this, I mixed fifteen yuan and got it.
Got himself a bowl of soup and sat on the sofa in the living room, Zhang Chi sucked the soup while watching these elders count the money.
There are big and small money, and the elders first divide them into several categories, and then start counting them according to the number of people.
Seeing that grandma had finished counting, Zhang Chi asked curiously, "Milk, how much did you earn today?"
"A little more today, three thousand!" Miao Guifang said.
"Have you removed the cost?" Zhang Chi asked.
Miao Guifang said: "What's the cost, it's taxed, hey, don't say it, the tax in the United States is really heavy."
Li Xiumei continued: "It's almost the same, you haven't set up a stall before, you know if you have set up a stall, once you pay the messy money, it's better to save trouble here, when the time comes, there will be a red hoop on the left, and another red sleeve, and a security guard can reach out and ask you to pack cigarettes."
Li Xiumei used to set up a stall, and she knew the hardships of setting up a stall, so it was really who would collect the money, and none of the dogs who had an accident came to take responsibility.
"I watched the news all day long, why didn't we see a zero yuan purchase for half a month?" Miao Guifang suddenly didn't know how to think of this, and asked Zhang Chi with curiosity.
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Zero-yuan purchases are also divided into localities, and there are legal provisions in some weeks that those below the amount will not be prosecuted." It's not good here, if you rob something, and someone else shoots you directly, you deserve it, so there are only thieves here, and there is no zero yuan to buy."
Gu Ying said with a smile: "Auntie, a store here can be open for two or three generations, and several generations are neighbors and friends, and there are generally no outsiders here, who buys it, even if you wear a mask or something, you can call out your name when you go to someone's store." Also, there are generally no poor people here, as long as they are diligent, there is always a capable job. I was so lazy that I went to the city."
"How can you still run to the city, no matter where the city management is?" Miao Guifang was a little unconvinced.
Gu Ying didn't know what to say now, thought for a while and said: "There is no chengguan here, these things are under the control of the police."
"That's no wonder, where can you do it without chengguan, isn't the city chaotic" Miao Guifang suddenly realized.
Zhang Chi watched happily here.
"How much did you earn today?" Zhang Jiaren asked his son Zhang Youpeng.
Where did Zhang Youpeng know, so he glanced at Li Xiumei next to him.
Li Xiumei said with a smile: "Dad, I didn't earn as much as you and Mom, we shaved all the costs, and we only earned two thousand five hundred, nodding slightly."
"Then we're pretty much the same, don't listen to your mother's nonsense, all our costs are about two thousand eight after we cut them out."
"The money for the ticket back is there," Li Xiumei said with a smile.
Zhang Youpeng said: "Just this amount of money is enough?" The money earned in the whole fifteen days is estimated to be enough for one person's air ticket."
Zhang Chi hurriedly said: "The money for the air ticket doesn't match this, you can keep what you earn, but if you want to get this money out, you have to pay taxes again."
"What a ...... this is this" Zhang Jiaren was anxious when he heard it, thinking to himself, didn't he just pay taxes, why did I have to pay the money when I took it away.
"Can I not pay it?" Li Xiumei was even more reluctant: "Let's just say that we spent the money here."
Zhang Chi said: "It's not impossible, but this matter is troublesome, and there is no need for this because of this tax money to leave a handle for others."
You don't have to pay this thing, and it doesn't necessarily find you, but once you find it, it's a big deal, and taxes are never a small thing in the United States.
Gu Ying also opened her mouth to agree with her nephew's words at this time.
