Chapter 25 Silver Ticket Paper Money
This situation is really a bit beyond Grandma Chu's expectations, and when she heard her grandson say that she was going to do it, she was a little at a loss: "This, where is this, when did you say that you would not be allowed to do it." ”
If this person is accustomed to easy money, how can he just let it go! Grandma Chu was originally just uncomfortable, and after listening to Wang's words, she thought that it would be good if she could ask for more money, but she never thought about it when she stopped the stall!
As long as the stall is still out, it doesn't matter if it's more or less, she can always get a little bit every month, not just money, just these things for food and clothing, Chu Yi and his family have not bought less at home in the past two months, and they haven't separated, and the things are naturally used together, if the stall stops, there will really be nothing!
Shen Luzhu walked through the stove room to Chu Yi's side, took Chu Yi's arm, and looked at Grandma Chu without speaking.
Grandma Chu felt that she really shouldn't have listened to the Wang family at the beginning, and she had known that she would stop and stop, and how good it would be to get three taels of silver a month: "Shen, let's do what we said before, three taels a month!" ”
was also stunned that Wang was stabbed by Grandma Chu beside him, and also reacted: "Ah, yes, otherwise it's better to press the previous one!" ”
Shen Luzhu leaned on Chu Yi's arm, lowered his head and didn't look at Grandma Chu and Wang, and tapped the ground with his toes: "But I think it's good now, or don't change it, if Grandma and Uncle Niang feel that it's inappropriate one day, it's troublesome to change it!" ”
Chu Yi looked sideways at his wife on the side and supported her: "Indeed." ”
Shen Luzhu snickered in his heart, and his face was not obvious: "Besides, if you earn more in a month, you will only give three taels to the family, just like the eldest aunt said, we are not sorry for ......."
"How, no! Again...... Besides, this business is originally your own, and the three taels are not subsidized for half a day, where is there any loss, or according to the previous one! Grandma Chu said and pushed down Wang again, telling her not to stand still, and quickly squeak!
Seeing that after such a while, the Wang family was pushed several times by Grandma Chu, Shen Luzhu couldn't help but feel funny, and most of the anger he had received in the Wang family before had also disappeared!
Besides, the purpose of letting them take the initiative to change back to three taels per month has been achieved, and Shen Luzhu felt that it was time to take the next step, so he quietly squeezed Chu Yi's hand.
Chu Yi understood: "It's not impossible to listen to grandma." ”
Grandma Chu saw that her grandson was relieved, and she also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, good, good, that's right, the ...... in August and September."
"Grandma, don't worry, I think it's better to call Grandpa first, after all, it's a family matter, and you can't always discuss it privately from Grandpa, right?" Shen Luzhu looked at Grandma Chu steadily, interrupting her words to ask for money.
Grandma Chu hesitated again and again, and finally called Grandpa Chu, and the two muttered for a long time in the main room before calling Chu Yi and others into the house.
After listening to what his wife said, Grandpa Chu had a lot of complaints about the Wang family, thinking that she was greedy and stupid, and she was actually played by a junior, and she was also dissatisfied with Shen Luzhu.
Sitting on the main seat, Grandpa Chu took the thin cigarette pouch and smoked one by one, saw that everyone entered the room and sat down, raised his eyes and glanced at the Wang family, and then looked at Chu Yi and his wife: "Shen, you came to me and your grandmother to take the initiative to mention this matter, and now you have called everyone here, but what other ideas do you have?" ”
Seeing that Grandpa Chu didn't say a word about the repentance of the eldest aunt and grandma, he seemed to blame himself for finding trouble! If it weren't for Grandpa and Grandma staying alone for a long time, and just happened to let her see Grandpa and give her a white look, Shen Luzhu would have thought that there was also Grandpa Chu's handwriting here!
"It's nothing, it's just that while everyone is here, the granddaughter-in-law wants to invite Grandpa, go and invite the patriarch and his old man, and come over to give us a witness!"
It is said that Shen Luzhu should accept it when she sees it, even if she doesn't care about the Wang family, she still has to take care of Grandpa Chu and Grandma, after all, they are Chu Yi's relatives, and they will continue to live together in the future, it is really not good to tear her face!
But the matter has come to this point, if you don't take the opportunity to spread out this matter and explain it clearly, and force the Chu family to make a promise, this time, I'm afraid it will be staged in the future!
"Zila" sound! Shen Luzhu's words were like water droplets splashing into hot oil, which caught everyone in the Chu family off guard!
Grandpa Chu, who thought that the little couple just wanted to take the opportunity to sue him, was really taken aback, and immediately asked loudly: "Shen, what do you mean by this?" ”
Shen Luzhu calmly looked at Grandpa Chu's eyes, and said lightly: "All the people here are elders, and we don't want to listen to the orders of any elders, just like this...... Today this one thinks it's inappropriate here, and tomorrow the one thinks it's wrong, and the granddaughter-in-law really doesn't know what to do with this deal! I simply wanted to ask for convenience, and trouble the patriarch and his old man to give a charter and be a witness! One day in the future, if the granddaughter-in-law does not do well and something goes wrong, with this stubble, it will save grandpa and grandma from suffering, right? ”
Hear this, hear it! Every sentence is the respect of the juniors to the elders, and every sentence is afraid that they will suffer losses, but which sentence is not pointing at him, not saying that the family should not interfere in their affairs!
As soon as he was in the stove room, the Wang family felt that this matter was not good, seeing that his mother-in-law was really being dragged to find his father-in-law, he was afraid that in the end, the basin would be buckled on his head, and he thought about whether to sneak away, but Chu Yi and his family had been standing next to him, so they could only follow him into the house!
As soon as he heard what Shen Luzhu said, the Wang family was like a cat that had been stepped on in a sore spot, and instantly exploded: "Shen, what do you mean?" It's just a reminder to you, if you don't want no one to force you, you still want to go to the patriarch to complain! ”
"I'm just like my aunt, I'm worried that my grandmother will suffer, and I want to ask the patriarch to be a witness, where did I get the complaint, and the aunt didn't do anything wrong, what are you afraid of?"
"You don't give me nonsense here, who is afraid! I'll tear your mouth off any more nonsense! Wang was so excited that he lost his mind, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Shen Luzhu and shouted, as if he was really going to tear her apart!
Chu Yi also stood up when he heard the sound and stood in front of Shen Luzhu!
With a "pop", the tea bowl that was still in Grandpa Chu's hand was thrown to the ground of the hall and shattered!
"Sit it all down for me!"
I don't know whether he was yelled at by Grandpa Chu or frightened by the fragments of the collapsed tea bowl, Wang didn't dare to say anything more, and sat back stupidly.
Grandpa Chu looked around at the people in the room, took a few deep breaths, and said to Shen Luzhu in a low voice: "It's just a trivial matter at home, Shen family, if you have any ideas, just say it, don't beat around the bush, what to find the patriarch or not, old man, if I respond, I can frame you!" ”
"Grandpa is naturally true of his word, but if someone comes to his granddaughter-in-law next time and says what decision Grandpa made......" Shen Luzhu only said halfway through and then closed his voice, but the people in the room understood!
"The Chu family is still an old man, I'm in charge! I will decide this matter, just do what I said before, and whoever says something in the future will come to me! ”
The paper money stall in front of Chu's house was reopened, Shen Luzhu thought that it had stopped for almost two months, and it was estimated that a lot of customers would be lost if he had managed to save before.
It turned out that for more than a month, the villagers could only go to the town to buy it if they needed it, not to mention the copper money burning paper that was not recognized by them, and they also had to ride the bus for time, and it was more convenient and cost-effective to buy it at Shen Luzhu's stall!
Zhao Cheng, Chu Ping and the Shen family had quietly made copper money burning paper before, and they were also sent to the Chu family one after another, and Shen Luzhu's paper money business was on the right track again.
Don't catch up with the Qingming Festival, the Midyear Festival, the business of the paper money stall is not busy, although to prepare for the Winter Clothes Festival and the Spring Festival, but Chu Yi and his family only need to go to the town every few days to buy goods, and then send them to each family after returning home, collect the copper money every day to burn paper, and count the money according to the knife!
When he had nothing to do, Shen Luzhu remembered the printing plate that Chu Yi said was done on his previous birthday.
The printing plate was carved very carefully by Chu Yi, all sides were polished and smooth, and the back was also pressed by the handle, which was easy to take when reprinting, and the ink side was coated with tung oil to avoid the wood absorbing too much ink when reprinting. Shen Luzhu took the paper and ink that the family bought last time and tried it, and the printed silver ticket paper money was very neat and clear, and it didn't take long to print a dozen, which was much faster than she could draw!
"Chu Yi, you are such a genius! If you look at the money printed on this silver ticket, is it completely indistinguishable from what I drew before! ”
"Then I'll hurry up and make a few more." Chu Yi saw that his wife was satisfied, and guessed that she might sell this silver ticket paper money soon, so he planned to make a few more printing plates as soon as possible.
Shen Luzhu knew what Chu Yi meant, and thought about it carefully: "This silver ticket paper money is so big, why don't we sell it by the sheet, I think no one should buy too much at one time, this printing plate should be enough for us for the time being!" ”
"Okay, listen to Azhu!"
When Shen Luzhu had nothing to do, he would cut the paper and print a few sheets with ink on the printing plate. Within two days, the white paper I bought last time was printed into silver ticket paper money, and I saved a thick dozen, and then the paper money stall in front of Chu's house spread the news of the new style in the village!
The lady from the neighboring village who came to buy paper money pointed to the silver ticket paper money and asked: "Chu family's daughter-in-law, what is this new thing in your family, you told the eldest lady?" ”
"Auntie, this is a silver ticket paper money, which looks somewhat similar to a silver ticket, but this is specially prepared for white things, and the denomination of one is ten million taels of silver!"
Passers-by listened to the novelty: "You mean this is a silver ticket for the dead?" We're so big, we haven't seen a silver ticket yet, let me see it! ”
Shen Luzhu listened, smiled and handed over a silver ticket for the man to take a closer look. The man took it in his hand, looked left and right, and there was a white piece of paper, and there were a lot of beautiful patterns drawn on it, which looked really much better than the previous yellow burnt paper: "What is written on this?" ”
Shen Luzhu took another piece of paper money, pointed to the words on it, and read it to the man one by one: "The top is 'Heaven and Earth Money Village', and what is written on both sides is 'Heaven and Earth are universal, and they are burned into gold; The good gods shelter, the evil gods avoid', and the big word in the middle is 'silver ten million taels'! ”
"It's really a million taels of silver! Then how did you sell the paper money of your silver ticket? ”
"This one is sold by the sheet, two pennies a piece!"
The lady of the neighboring village hesitated a little when she heard this: "Two pennies are not much, but just buy such a piece of paper, twenty wen can buy a knife of yellow burnt paper, and it is only ten pieces to buy, which is not very cost-effective!" ”
