Chapter 17 Oxygen
Chu Li saw that his brother and sister-in-law were in trouble, and thought of a way: "Sister-in-law, I'll go, I'll accompany you!" Xiuxiu's cousin watched the stall at home, and I accompanied my sister-in-law to buy goods! ”
"How can it be done......" ("It's a way.") The couple said at the same time.
Shen Luzhu was a little disapproving: "Chu Yi, Chu Li still has to go to the school!" ”
"Chu Ping, he doesn't have to go to the academy."
"You mean, please Chu Ping help us go to the stock? Chu Ping is a good candidate, he is clever and trustworthy, but we may often have to buy goods in the future, and we can't always trouble others. Chu Yi, why don't we ask Chu Ping, can you invite him, and he will help us buy goods in the future? ”
"Okay, I'll ask."
"When he and Zhao Cheng got married, they helped a lot, and said that they would invite them to eat and drink when they came back, why don't they come to the house after buying the goods in the past few days?"
"Listen to you!"
As soon as they returned to Chu's house and said hello to their grandparents and grandmothers, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi entered the empty room where the paper money was placed, planning to take stock and estimate how often they would need to buy the goods and how much they would buy in the future.
There are still sixty-four dollars left in the white money, twenty-three dollars left in the copper money burned paper, and only twelve dollars left in the ordinary yellow burned paper! Shen Luzhu calculated, Bai Siqian can earn four yuan with a knife, yellow paper can earn six yuan with a knife, copper money burns paper with a knife to earn sixteen yuan, get rid of the knife of copper money burned paper she opened and sent, and then remove the day's fare and the money for making molds and iron sheets, these days have earned 500 yuan, for them who are just starting out, it is really a good start!
"Our stall has been less than half a month, and recently stopped for two days, so calculated, almost every day can sell six dollars of burning paper and four dollars of money, copper money burning paper is not very good for the time being, and the thirty dollars should be sold out this month, maybe it will be better in the future, or a month first?"
"It's okay, then burn 200 knives of paper, sprinkle 100 knives of money, and I'll talk to Chu Ping later." The quantity of a month will not be too much to sell, nor will it be out of stock in a short time.
"Then you wait, I'll go get the money!"
Chu Yi took the money bag, went to the yard of the grandfather's house next door, and talked to Chu Ping, Shen Luzhu took Chu Li to cut up the paper together, she planned to make a book for bookkeeping, she had no experience before, fortunately it has just started now, and the money is not much in and out, and after a long time, it is difficult to keep a clear memory, or write down the account, so that you can buy something in the future, and you don't need to come over every time, and now count the quantity!
Chu Ping had just come back from wandering outside, and was squatting on the courtyard dam to bask in the sun, when he saw his cousin coming to him: "Cousin, why are you here, aren't you busy today?" ”
Chu Yi walked over, squatted with Chu Ping, and asked him, "Why haven't you been there recently?" ”
Chu Ping was embarrassed, and was a little embarrassed to be caught: "Alas, it's not my aunt, I said that you got married, and you were already busy, but now you have a whole mess, let me go over and make trouble for you and your cousin-in-law!" ”
"You should go, what kind of mess can you make, your cousin-in-law said that she wants to invite you to dinner!"
"That's a good idea! I just said that A-Niang is worrying about it, by the way, cousin, I was under the big willow tree at the head of the village, chatting with the idlers in the village, and I heard them talk about our family's copper money burning paper!
Feng lame told people that his sister-in-law is generous, his grandfather burned the anniversary, his aunt went to the stall to buy burning paper, looking at the copper money burning paper, I felt very novel but felt more expensive, his aunt Feng, who in the village did not know that she was a greedy and difficult master, Xu was entangled with her sister-in-law, it is said that the sister-in-law really broke down a knife and gave her a dozen!
Feng lame said, the copper coin burned paper touched, and ordinary burning paper did not feel any difference, it was the same rough paper, but I don't know why, but it was completely different from ordinary burning paper, the fire was much stronger, and it was burned fast and good, and it was so mysterious! He also asked me if there was any special material for this copper coin to burn paper! ”
"And what did you say?" Chu Yi also felt a little mysterious when he heard it, they were all the same paper, how could there be such a big difference!
"I don't know if there is anything different about this paper, so I fooled him, saying that it must be his grandfather who prefers this kind of copper coin burning paper, the old man likes this, so naturally it will be burned better than the side one, who knows that Feng Cripple's two stunned people really believe it!
He also said, maybe, this burning paper doesn't have copper coins on it, and the burning paper and copper coins are for you, who doesn't like copper coins! It must be that his grandfather prefers copper coins and didn't run away! Hahaha, cousin, you didn't see it, it really amused me! ”
Chu Yi didn't expect that it had been half a month, and the matter of paper money could still become a talking point for the villagers! After enough laughter, Chu Ping remembered and asked his cousin: "By the way, cousin, you came to me for something?" ”
"There is indeed something, I can't get away from your cousin-in-law, come and ask if you can help buy goods in town."
"What's so difficult about this, as long as my cousin and sister-in-law can be trusted, I'll go and let my cousin come in tomorrow!" Chu Ping thought it was something, but it turned out that it was just an errand.
"More than this time, I plan to entrust this matter to you in the future, and I can't let you run in vain......"
As soon as Chu Ping heard that Chu Yi's words were wrong, he hurriedly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop, it's just to run the town twice, what's the matter, my cousin still has to pay me for my salary?" ”
"In the future, we will have to run once or twice a month, we rely on this to make money, how can we use you in vain!"
"That's not going to happen, I'm going to stay all day long, and I don't delay anything when I go to the town, you're my cousin, let's have a small relationship, I'll help run an errand and collect your money, if you let Grandpa and Daddy know, then I'll run without legs in the future!"
Besides, the village has always said that I don't do my job, and no matter how much I have a reputation for greedy money, my aunt won't expect me to marry a daughter-in-law and hold a grandson! Cousin, just spare me, if you want to give me money again, then I won't go! ”
"Cheng, then it's up to you, I'll write the address with you in a while, and I'll help me get in ...... tomorrow" Chu Yi opened the money bag and looked at the silver inside, calculated it, and took ten taels of silver to Chu Ping: "Bring in 500 knives to burn paper, 200 knives to scatter money, hire an ox cart, and let the guys in the store help load the cart." ”
Since Chu Ping refuses to take his salary, then he will enter more at a time, so many two months should be enough, and it will save Chu Ping the total trouble!
Chu Yi came back and told Shen Luzhu about this, and Shen Luzhu felt that it was okay to buy more goods: "It's okay to do this way, you can buy more at once, and the fare will be less, and you can also trouble Chu Ping a few times!" ”
Early the next morning, Chu Ping staggered to buy goods in an ox cart.
Chu Yi returned to his usual busyness, and Shen Luzhu continued to set up her stall next to the courtyard gate, but Shen Luzhu felt a little strange, since the days before the Dragon Boat Festival, no one has come to the stall to watch and join in the fun. I don't know if it's the reason why I haven't been out of the stall for two days, but from time to time today, people actually started to come to inquire about copper coins and burning paper, could it be that there is nothing new in the village, everyone is too boring?
After a while, as soon as Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi spent the stall, Chu Ping came back in an ox cart, and several people unloaded the cart together, and moved all the newly bought paper money to the empty room.
Shen Luzhu brought herbal tea to Chu Ping and Chu Yi: "Cousin, take a sip of tea and rest!" ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Have you eaten at noon?" Chu Yi saw Chu Ping's bowl of tea, and he dried it up in one go, and handed him the bowl he hadn't drunk yet.
"Eat, my cousin doesn't know me yet, how can I lose myself, I saw that I couldn't finish loading the car for a while, so I went to the street and ate some by the way."
"That's it, go back in the afternoon and have a good rest, and call you to come and drink!"
"Okay, cousin and sister-in-law, then I'll go back first!"
said that he wanted to invite Chu Ping and Zhao Cheng to have a drink, Shen Luzhu originally planned to stop the stall in the afternoon, prepare some wine and food for them, and call them to eat at home in the evening! But I don't know what's wrong, I've been busy all of a sudden lately, not only have there been more people coming to the stall to buy paper money than before, but there are also people here who actually came to buy copper money to burn paper, and there is a faint upward trend!
Seeing that the twenty-three copper coins burned paper left before were sold out in a few days, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi were even busier again! During the day, one person makes a coffin, one person sets up a stall, and after dinner, I have to hurry up to make copper coins and burn paper!
Shen Luzhu is naturally happy that the copper coin burnt paper can be accepted by the villagers, but occasionally she is still very confused, she really doesn't understand, how can it be accepted all of a sudden? Until after dinner that day, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi, as usual, rested for a while and then started to burn paper with copper coins, and Chu Li put his hands on the side, talking about what he heard from the school.
"Many of the classmates in the school said that our family's copper coins really have copper coins!"
Shen Luzhu repacked the prepared burning paper, and chatted with Chu Li: "Yes, isn't my brother and sister-in-law carving copper coins on it now!" ”
"No, sister-in-law, that's not what they said! They said that they burned this copper coin and burned paper, and gave it to their deceased relatives, and they could really receive copper coins! ”
This can make Shen Luzhu confused, even if there is really a supernatural existence, she doesn't have the ability to communicate yin and yang, and exchange paper for money!
Not to mention Shen Luzhu, even Chu Yi was a little stunned: "Ah Li, what else did they say?" ”
"Who doesn't like copper coins like paper, and those who have passed away are not stupid, they like copper coins to burn paper, so it's obviously the same rough paper, but the fire of copper coins burning paper is particularly strong, and it burns fast! Isn't this more like burning paper with copper coins! ”
Burn more? Shen Luzhu was in a trance, did she also taste the sweetness of modern knowledge? Although it may have been a mistake, she didn't expect that it was probably the burned paper after the hole, compared with the original burned paper, the contact area with the air is larger, so it will burn more violently! Junior high school chemistry knowledge points: oxygen is needed for combustion!
Chu Yi felt that he seemed to have heard this before, thought about it carefully for a while, and finally remembered: "I probably know what's going on!" ”
"What's going on?" Shen Luzhu looked at Chu Yi with some surprise, could it be that Chu Yi also knew that burning needed foreign gas?
"It's Chu Ping!"
"Chu Ping? What does it have to do with him? ”
So Chu Yi told his wife and younger brother about Feng Cripple that he heard about Feng Cripple when he went to find Chu Ping that day!
Xu is the other people present that day, and then talked about this matter, one to ten, ten to hundred, plus Shen Luzhu once dismantled a knife to give away, these people and those who bought copper coins to burn paper, after hearing it, I thought back to the scene of burning paper at that time, it seems to be really like this! So some people are convinced of this, and those who pass it around will naturally spread the copper money and burn the paper!
Not only that, but in front of Shen Luzhu's stall selling paper money, it is also more lively!
