Cao Xin finished his work in the primordial fairy realm before returning to the courtyard with a hare.

Before he could be sent to the backyard, he heard that the eldest brother was back, so he hurriedly turned around and rushed home with the rabbit.

"Big brother."

When he got home, Cao Renzheng was playing bricks with mud while talking to Cao Zhang and Cao Xian, which was lively.

Waiting for Cao Xin to come back, without waiting for the brothers to speak, Cao Xian immediately complained to the eldest brother: "Big brother, you don't know, when you are not at home, Xiao Wu is wild, he goes out before dawn in the morning, and comes back when it gets dark at night, and he can't see anyone at all during the day." ”

Such an adult, and sue the black!

"I'm busy with business."

"The eldest brother finally found a way, he can collect two hares a day at a low price, of course I have to go early, I can't let people wait. And receive wages and food every day, and you are not allowed to run around? ”

Cao Xin saw that the eldest brother could still work, and that the eldest sister could still be poor, so he knew that Cao Ren came back with all his beard and tail this time, and put a heart in his stomach, so he was interested in talking to Cao Xian.

"Brother!"

"You didn't make it clear when you left, how important rabbits, wages, and food are! Let Xiao Wu do it, Xiao Wu doesn't tell us anything, every time I go out, it's a whole day, my mother is worried. Children with so much money are easy to have problems when they walk around the streets. ”

"Next time I have such hard work, let me do it!"

Cao Xian hadn't forgotten about it, and he wanted to snatch power from Cao Xin.

It's a pity!

The Cao family is getting better now, and Cao Xin has a lot of money in his hands, even if Cao Ren goes out again in the future, Cao Xin will no longer need to take money and food from his family in this way.

……

this night.

Cao Zhang was finally willing to steam a pot of steamed buns with flour.

The flour was obtained by Cao Xin through [Creation], and then given to Cao Zhang's family in the name of Cao Ren's 'grain subsidy' in the Caishui Gang.

Thirteen days, twenty-six pounds.

I didn't eat anything, but I was saved by Cao Zhang's family.

Today, I made two catties, a full twenty white-flour steamed buns.

"Everything is fine at home."

"Xiao Wu listens to you, and goes out every day to bring back two hares, and he can earn 20 yuan."

"I will help you get your wages again, 10 wen a day and 2 catties of flour."

"I took the needlework from the way of a lady in the middle yard and Xiaoyan in the backyard, and I have earned 25 wen in the past few days."

During the meal, Cao Zhang's explained to Cao Ren the Cao family's income during this period and the current family background.

Cao Ren left and stayed, plus what he earned in half a month, plus what Cao Zhang's earned.

A total of 170 + 400 + 25 = 585 texts.

Part of this money is used to buy firewood, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar for daily life.

Some of them are used to buy household belongings - needles and threads, pots and pans, baskets, bamboo baskets, combs and scissors, which are usually inconspicuous but inseparable. Among them, the most expensive is the linen cloth bought on the first day of the junior high school, which cost 94 Wen. and the purchase of shovels for digging earth and mud, 92 texts.

This part costs a lot of money.

The rest of the money was only kept at home for 40 yuan, and the rest was used to buy corn and sweet potatoes as food reserves.

Twenty pounds of corn.

Ten pounds of sweet potatoes.

Twenty-six pounds of white flour.

Save some food, enough for the Cao family to eat for two months.

I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart.

The family's surplus money gradually increased, and the food gradually increased, and Cao Zhang's family looked several years younger than Cao Ren before he left.

……

Listening to Cao Zhang's clear calculations, Cao Xin couldn't help but shake his head.

It's hard to be a stepmother.

Cao Ren is not Cao Zhang's own family, and almost all the family's income is nominally earned back by Cao Ren, Cao Zhang's is cautious, and every penny spent is clearly remembered, lest Cao Ren misunderstand.

Cao Ren interrupted several times to no avail, so he could only listen.

However, he listened to the situation at home, watched the days gradually get better, and he was going to build a stove and a kitchen, and he was preparing to find someone to play tables, chairs and benches.

Moreover, others did not know, but he knew that after he left, not only did he have no wages and no food, but he also never had any way to collect hares.

Cao Zhang's family only knew that the family had 20 wen a day by buying and selling hares.

But Cao Ren knows -

……

"Hare has a lot of money left, right?"

In the dead of night, Cao Xin pulled Cao Ren to the outhouse and asked in a whisper.

"It's all with me."

Cao Xin flipped over his palm and gestured.

Cao Ren immediately understood, and there was light in his eyes: "27 hares, 4050 Wen!" ”

gave 270 Wen to the family, and Cao Xin still had 3780 Wen left.

"Good boy!"

"So much money?!"

Cao Ren was silently calculating when he was having dinner earlier, and he had a guess, but he couldn't believe it. Now that I saw Cao Xin nodding, I was sure that this was true.

3780 Wen!

Two, two, seven silver!

This is not a small amount of money, and many people in the compound do not earn it for a month. In addition to daily interest, you can't save these for a year.

The Cao family, who fled from the Great Northwest, actually saved so much in half a month?

Cao Ren was in a trance.

"More than that."

"I have a total of 4,300 Wen on me now."

"There are also 4 catties of flour, 10 catties of rice, 15 catties of corn, 5 catties of millet, 5 catties of soybeans, 5 catties of pork, 3 catties of mutton, and 3 catties of beef."

This is the sale of rabbits plus the daily surplus of creation.

Cao Xin didn't have much appetite, and he didn't make much to eat and drink in the primordial immortal realm every day.

These grains, pigs, cattle and mutton alone are worth thousands of wen or nearly one tael.

"Good!"

"That's great!"

Cao Ren patted Cao Xin on the shoulder, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

Surprise.

Lament.

Memories of bitterness.

Si Tian.

All kinds of emotions were mixed together, and Cao Ren's heart was quite complicated and impacted.

Seeing this, Cao Xin took the initiative to divert the topic, "What are the plans of the eldest brother in the future?" ”

"Later?"

"Intended?"

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and hesitated a little: "If you have a long time here, I will find a way to withdraw from the gang and find a regular business in the city." ”

Fighting in a gang is not a long-term solution.

Doing nothing all day long, following, running errands, doing chores, and occasionally fighting and killing.

If you can't get on the stage, people will be abolished sooner or later.

"Is it okay to return?"

Cao Xin was worried.

"I didn't dare to ask."

"I'm going to be careful during this time, and I'm tempting."

Cao Ren smiled bitterly.

It would have been easier for ordinary gangs, but he rescued the little boss who was now following at that time, the little boss Qianjin City Horse Bone, and he gave him a settlement fee, and he got a house to settle down, and he often took Cao Ren with him for a month, which means to focus on training, and he is already half a henchman.

In this case, at this time, how can he retreat?

There are a lot of questions.

There are many problems.

So Cao Ren is still just an idea, and he is not urgent enough to retreat.

Otherwise, if nothing else, the house is a big problem.

"Take your time."

With Cao Xin here, Cao Ren has no worries, everything has room to turn around, and there is no need to have too much pressure in the Cai Shui Gang.

"If you can't get out for a while, it's better to find a martial arts gym to practice a few skills, whether it's in the gang or after you come out, it will definitely be useful to know a few real skills."

Cao Xin got down to business.

This is what he got the 'Liangyi Ball Skill', which he pondered on the first day of Cao Ren's trip.

Money.

Force.

Grab with both hands, and be hard with both hands!

Only in this way can the Cao family prosper and be as stable as Mount Tai.

"It costs too much to practice martial arts."

Cao Ren frowned.

There are a lot of practitioners in the Cai Shui Gang, and ordinary ones can deal with two or three men at most, and those who are powerful are not a problem with ten or eight.

The former only needs to practice some routines alone, practice strength, and the most important courage, commonly known as 'fake style'.

The small leader he followed was called 'Sun Da', which belonged to this kind.

This input is less.

But if you want to practice the real name, you must either practice three dogs in summer and three nines in winter, and ten or twenty years will be the same. Either you have to spend money, big fish, big meat, and all kinds of medicinal herbs are constantly going on day by day, and if you practice hard, you can also achieve something in three or five years.

The ordinary gang members of the Cai Shui Gang are small leaders like 'Sun Da', and the more elegant ones are 'gang elites'. Further up are the 'deacons', commonly known as the 'big bosses'.

Most of the small leaders are like Sun Da, who can speak well, or are ingenious, or ruthless.

In short, there are merits.

The big boss is a real practitioner who has 'real kung fu'. After more than ten or twenty years of hard practice in kung fu, ten or eight big men are close to him, this is a tiger among people, and he is the backbone of the Cai Shui Gang.

Like Sun Da, you don't need to enter the martial arts hall, you can ask for advice from anyone you want.

But Cao Xin is talking about martial arts, it is real kung fu, that is, he has to go to the big boss and practice the family, with his age, and he wants to achieve something in the short term, and the cost here is a lot.

"You have a lot of money, but if you want to go to the martial arts hall, you may not even have enough apprenticeship fees."

If you want to enter the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, you can either sell coolies and volunteer for the master for N years.

Either you have to make money, and three or five taels is just the beginning.

Cao Ren had heard about this market in the Cai Shui Gang somehow, but he hadn't thought about it at all.

"Money is not an issue."

Cao Xin smiled with a small face.

Although his chicken farm has not really opened yet, there are really many ways to make money from the primordial fairy world.

This is a large purchase and sale of trees, and it cannot be done for the time being.

But all kinds of wild things—

Pheasant.

Hare.

Wild roe deer.

That's a lot.

Cao Xin only caught two hares a day now, and the other wild animals haven't been dealt with yet.

If the wild things in the forest may be caught, then the fish in the 'original river' are always inexhaustible.

The original river is so big that there is no end in sight.

Even though a small section of the river that flows through Cao Xin's territory is only a few hundred meters, the river is flowing and it will definitely not be able to be fished out in a short time.

At the current price of fresh fish in Xijing City, the five-pound carp is six cents of silver, which is equivalent to 17 Wen per catty.

Compared with 58 wen a catty of mutton, 60 wen a catty of beef, and 70 wen a catty of pork, the price of fresh fish is cheap, and the market is definitely not bad.

As long as you hit 100 catties of fresh fish every day, that is, 20 big carp weighing five catties, you can earn more than one tael a day and more than 30 taels a month.

It's more than enough to change ten martial arts halls a year!

Originally, Cao Ren was not there, and Cao Xin didn't dare to take too big steps, so he got two hares every day to supplement the family.

Now that the eldest brother is back, as long as he is short of money, all kinds of means can be used.

Cao Xin mentioned the situation a little, but Cao Ren still frowned and did not rush to agree.

The family is now poor and white, even if Cao Xin can make money, he must save some money just in case-

In case Cao Xin's ability is not good in the future.

In case someone in the family has a headache and brain fever.

There is also a house, save more money, buy two houses in Xijing City in the future, or simply go to the town outside the city, Jizi to buy a field and buy a house, this can be heirlooms.

As long as there are acres of land and a house, the Cao family can really take root in Xijing City.

Money is needed in every way.

A lot of money!

And what about martial arts?

Not only does it cost money to enter the martial arts hall, but it is not a small amount to eat medicine every day and every month in the future.

What's more, practicing martial arts is not rewarded if you pay, even if you spend money, you may not be able to practice fame, even if you can practice fame, it will take three or five years of hard work at every turn.

I'm not sure if it's going to work.

Three or five years is too long.

In short, this decision is not easy to make, whether the Cao family will be stable or tattered in the next three or five years may be between Cao Ren's thoughts.

Of course, he had to be cautious.

The brothers chatted in a whisper, and chatted until the middle of the moon, Cao Ren ran around for a day, and the excitement of just returning home had passed, so he went back to the house with Cao Xin to sleep.

This hour is already a new day.

In the second year of Qianyou, August 15.

The daily [Insight] was refreshed again, and Cao Xin moved, wanting to see if the root bone had changed after the eldest brother left for half a month, so after a lapse of fourteen days, he gained insight into Cao Ren again.

And this time—

……
