"Okay." Mrs. Xu hugged her granddaughter and responded.

But Xu Tianxin knows that even if he gives another big ingot, he owes his grandmother.

Because the past fifty taels have been given for the cost of eating, and the next time I will give an ingot, which is the raw material money for making soap paid for my grandmother.

Grandma has never told her or outsiders, in fact, the Xu family owes famine again.

He borrowed fifty taels of silver from Grandpa Lizheng for turnover.

This is the last time Grandpa Li Zheng walked for more than a month, pulled back those large truckloads of goods, sold all the goods to remove the arrears of others, and left all the profits.

This time, only a few members of Lizheng's grandfather's family, as well as her grandmother, aunt and three uncles knew, and they didn't tell her specifically.

But she can't bear to be more good at settling accounts, like carefully picking up the savings of the previous Zhenting family, and calculating how many flowers and plants she bought, how much oil, and the daily wages for the workers, she knew that there was no silver money at home, and she should owe external accounts.

Although grandma advanced the fish floss money from Boss Liu in advance, this is not rushing to make the fish floss and fish knock noodles that have been set, and it also requires costs.

Once, she overheard Grandpa Lizheng say to her grandmother:

"Tian Xin makes soap for people, that's a big deal, these two thousand pieces have been laid on the ground, and the next two thousand pieces of soap horn oil, don't worry about it first. Pepper said that he would leave two catties of cotton and go to my eldest daughter's house to borrow some, and I would go to my brother's place to string a few dozen taels of silver. After more than a month, there will be a warehouse delivery and will bring back the money, and it will be able to ...... for a while."

After that, Xu Tianxin didn't listen to it again.

Another time, she also heard Grandpa Guan say to her grandmother:

"Don't give the village labor money to be broken, it's easy to make people pay attention.

You have to know that there are a lot of hindsight, you should say that your stall is too big, and those heart-blocking words, we can not listen to them.

Isn't that a set of sixteen taels and a half, my family has spent eleven taels and a half, used to make cotton clothes for the baby, bought some winter grain, decades have not been so well understood, and added some medicinal materials and added a medicine cabinet, the remaining five taels you use.

Next time we sell sets, we can continue to go to Qinglou and continue to earn.

When your family's Tianxin earns back a large amount of money for fragrant pancreas, your Xu family will be completely prosperous, and a good life is ahead."

Grandpa Guan also smiled and said, "You can borrow it from me, and I will be able to open my mouth when I borrow light in the future."

In the end, grandma didn't seem to use the remaining five taels of savings from Grandpa's family, and she should think that it was easier to keep accounts with Grandpa's family. This time, the general and his entourage came to Lizheng, and Grandpa Zheng no longer had the confidence to say something atmospheric to entertain.

In short, Xu Tianxin knows these detailed accounts.

It is true that as Grandpa Guan said, as long as the 8,000 pieces of soap are exchanged for money and brought back, the capital that grandma borrowed is nothing at all.

However, the current capital gap is too big, and she can't let her grandmother bear this pressure alone. Only then did she take advantage of the fact that her grandmother couldn't see what she said on the live broadcast screen, and studied the water drop clock with her family to make money.

Find a way to sell the drip clock to relieve the pressure of soap.

Therefore, the sentence Xu Tianxin said: "Next time I will give grandma a big ingot", it is not that Mrs. Xu thinks her granddaughter wants to give the soap-making capital, but: Grandma, you believe me, on the premise that the capital of eating and soap will be given to you, the granddaughter will definitely give you a big ingot, so that you can hold it in the bed, okay?

But at this time, Xu Tianxin did not explain in detail.

There is a saying: what you really want to do, it's better not to even talk about the gods, just do it quietly, and then talk about it when you succeed.

If you don't succeed, you can save face, and after a few days, you will forget the vow you once made.

But Mrs. Xu was still happy enough.

Mrs. Xu didn't have any money at all.

She also heard that there was a broken-mouthed woman in the village who said that the reason why she dared to take on the big job of making soaphorns and could afford to pay the girls, including daring to eat with the general's party, was because she relied on milk at home and relied on milk to bring money when she went out.

I was jealous and envious and said sour things, meaning

The baby has the ability to have a good grandmother, if there is no backing grandmother invited, no matter how capable it is, it can't be supported.

When these words reached her ears, she didn't please her at all, she only felt angry.

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: What's wrong with relying on grandma? She is willing to give money, which shows that our children are not tired, and she can't wait to let her granddaughter smile and ask her for money for the rest of her life.

Alas, if it weren't for the urgency of time, at her age, even if she lived a long life, she would be able to spend more than 30 Spring Festivals with her granddaughter at most, and she couldn't wait to help her granddaughter pave the way and pave the way for her children until she was 100 years old.

No, Mrs. Xu didn't explain in detail, but planned in her heart, if the child handed her money, the family would also be supported, and she began to buy land in the name of Tian Xin. Little by little, slowly, her granddaughter's name is like the names of those uncles: there is land, grain, warehouse, and silver.

In this way, not to mention paving the road to a long life, it is almost inseparable.

Because Mrs. Xu believes: don't always want to give a word to young people as an elder, everyone has different temperaments, choices and life experiences, and what young people need most is not life experience, but should leave a sum of money, which is the most intuitive way to help children.

The grandparents and grandchildren hugged their arms when they had their own ideas, and they were still slimy.

The old lady looked at it with envy, and then at Xu Youyin, who was carrying a big burden beside her, she sighed deeply and thought:

is also a grandchild, and Youyin sent her to live at home with a face.

The old lady deliberately didn't have anything to say, and wanted to ask her little grandson, "Do the people in the village also know that I am going to live in your house?"

Xu Youyin rolled his eyes: "You are wearing cotton clothes and carrying such a big luggage roll, who wouldn't have guessed that you were going to spend the winter at my house, and you would inform anyone by beating gongs and drums."

The old lady choked, and was no longer in the mood to talk to her grandson, and walked a few steps into the distance, turning her back to Xu Youyin like a gambler. Actually secretly wiping away tears.

The old lady didn't understand, she was reluctant to eat and drink all her life, not all for her children and grandchildren, why didn't she hand it over to the last one.

It's sixty-seven, my hair is all white, I want to put a small bag, stay here for two days and stay at that house for two days, and I am not welcome to go anywhere. Coupled with the words of the little daughter-in-law who counted her down before, the more I thought about it, the more sad I became.

Xu Tianxin and Mrs. Xu, who were not far away, saw this scene.

Xu Tianxin asked, "Milk, did you let your grandmother live, and it was my uncles who begged you privately?"

"I didn't ask for it", Mrs. Xu glared at her fourth son with disgust: "Don't look at your uncle pulling his face now, but he always squeaks and always asks around the corner, whether to take your grandmother back or stay is what it means." I see that this is the life is a little better, and I want to burn the bun. Getting drenched in the rain by myself, I always think about holding an umbrella for others. Let me make them perfect."

Mrs. Xu also took into account the saying, called: When you don't understand what it means for people to die, you will be full of childishness, which can also be said to be the one who is angry. Anyway, it doesn't matter how you lose your temper and how you think.

But when you know that you will never see your relatives again, you are afraid that all that is left is regret, and there are tears that you will never see your relatives again.

After all, it's a real grandmother, let's take this body, don't end up letting you have regrets because we want to ***, and if you want to raise your grandmother, you can raise it.

"Anyway, the day she threw her down on the kang, I didn't bring a waiter. Aren't your three uncles filial? Then let them go. Then I will also let your uncles go to the big house to ask for land, if we really give the pension, why don't you ask for it, you want to eat and drink me for nothing."

Xu Tianxin smiled and didn't answer his grandmother's hard-mouthed and soft-hearted words.

In Xu Tianxin's opinion, her three uncles talked to their grandmother awkwardly, and they didn't forgive a lot of things. The uncles have not been jealous, including scolding her grandmother, and the uncles have not forgotten that the grandmother has scolded her mother, but once the days are better, the mind will be inexplicably broader, and they will think about the things in the past, and compare with the current grandmother who has nowhere to stay...... Never mind.

Speaking of uncles, Xu Tianxin didn't dare to delay Mrs. Xu any longer, and hurriedly discussed the matter with his grandmother and said, "I want to hire three uncles to work for ***, busy with clocks and watches, and I will pay the salary." milk, you need to put them from the frying

The meat floss will be transferred to other trustworthy people."

Mrs. Xu reacted instinctively, first: use them, and give them any wages.

Xu Tianxin disagreed, and recalled the three uncles' inadvertent complaints, and explained with a smile:

"Milk, you'd better not go back to the wages I will pay them then, just give them pocket money.

You don't know, once, I asked my second uncle to help me make an object, and my second uncle asked me if it cost money? If it's going to cost money, I'll talk to you first. Because anything that can be solved with money, he can't solve it.

and my third uncle, I asked him to wash his face frequently with soap, so that he could be handsome and find a partner in the future. But my third uncle said that his ugliness is not worth mentioning compared to having an empty pocket.

My uncle also said that although he can't have both fish and bear's paws, he can be empty and single in his pocket, get used to it, and find someone.

Listen, it's sad."

Mrs. Xu still didn't let go and said, "Your second uncle's share will be left by himself, given to his daughter-in-law, and will give him a baby and his mother-in-law's family in the future, and spend as much as you want." Your third uncle's salary must be paid to me here, don't give it secretly, listen to the milk. They didn't want any money to start a family, and they didn't have any money to start a family."

Xu Tianxin was speechless: "......"

Mrs. Xu asked, "What about the water drop clock, how do you and that Bai Xiucai get involved?"

"I preliminarily set a water drop clock to sell for fifty taels, I am in charge of production, the production cost, I guess it is about twelve taels, then I will earn about thirteen taels, he is in charge of sales, he earns more, twenty-five taels."

Mrs. Xu's face was happy: "Can you sell it so expensive?"

He also explained his granddaughter and said, "If you can sell it, it is normal for Bai Xiucai to give people a large share, which is the same as our fish floss. No matter how good the thing is, no one knows about it, and even if the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, you have to take a lot of detours to sell it yourself. With someone else's ready-made connections, you can ship directly. If you earn less, you don't have to worry about money."

Xu Tianxin nodded and smiled It should be, in modern manufacturers and sales are also two lines. Like selling clothes, we can sell clothes wholesale after we finish producing them, and we can't still worry about the difference in profits that the salespeople earn in the store, she can think about it in this regard.

As for whether it can be sold, Xu Tianxin told her grandmother her preliminary design ideas.

She said that she wanted the third uncle who was holding the dart and the fourth uncle, who could speak well, to go to the iron striking place to order gears and bearings and other components first. Then I went to the porcelain factory, and I had to go outside to buy some varnish and oil for the second uncle to paint.

Mrs. Xu immediately understood: "The jar where our water drop clock catches water becomes a porcelain bottle?"

"Yes, I also need to order some porcelain bottle droppers, preferably in various styles, such as a red vine entwined. In short, I think each clock is a different shape, there are requirements for porcelain vases, so the cost will cost five taels in addition to the gears, and only a few other bottles and accessories will also be seven taels. Like the modern flower blossom rich cross-stitch, the passing bell, the landscape shape, the moonlight of the lotus pond, the welcoming pine and the simple state of the bamboo tube made my second uncle paint wood."

But more often than not, the style of the passing clock is to hold a Kuixing dot bucket pen, for example, until the hour, the pen will strike the sound of the hour. Toad Palace folds "Gui" and "Cake Dumplings" in one fell swoop, customizes osmanthus style porcelain bottles, and takes "high school" to knock out the sound of the whole hour.

Similarly, there are "Qingyun" Zhishang to dominate the "Aotou", a "heron" and "lotus" family, with the lotus pot and lotus shape homonym "Lianzhong", implying the candidates' three-yuan good news.

In addition, in terms of the color matching of the porcelain vase and the striking objects, including the dial, Xu Tianxin planned to only use blue, white, red, black and yellow as the main colors, because these five colors correspond to water, gold, fire, and earth.

After listening to Mrs. Xu, she said, "...... Granddaughter, if this kind of imperial examination high school bell leaks, I don't think it's a little too sold. You have to remind that Bai family kid, don't be dead and know that the price is fifty taels, and some complicated ones will rise by six or six or six or something. The mind of a rich man, he should not use the thoughts of a peasant boy to ponder it."

Xu Tianxin took out the silver ticket and the schematic diagram of the device drawn by Bai Muyan, and at the same time, he justified Bai Muyan in front of his grandmother:

",

You see, this is what he painted, and this is what he decided to give away after listening to me. Whether I'm afraid that I don't have the capital, or I really want to give gifts for the New Year, it can be seen that this person is delicate and exquisite.

He also asked me, "Do you know how much money you will make when this is done?" Do you know how many classmates I have?

It can be seen that he came from a poor family, but he has a good relationship with rich classmates.

It's hard to get along well, he should be very good at distinguishing appearances and colors, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves. I'm not worried about his asking price.

He dared, grandma, because Bai Xiucai is not like many young people who are very face-saving, he actually laughed at himself and I for not having any money in his pocket.

A person who dares to laugh at himself is either very strong in his heart, or in order to reduce the amount of gossip about him from others, he has long been mellow in his studies abroad."

Mrs. Xu saw Bai Muyan's repainted gear and bearing paintings, and praised the painting in her heart, and everyone knew the principle and cooperated with his granddaughter, so she had a good heart.

No, Mrs. Xu made the water drop clock with her family throughout the whole process, she knew too much about one step less, and asked her granddaughter with her eyes.

"Hmm." Xu Tianxin smiled.

Mrs. Xu said that this is right, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

He muttered while touching the silver ticket, and he didn't know if there was a handling fee for this thing, so he continued:

"No wonder your grandfather squeezed his eyes at me as soon as he took a look, saying that you were going to have another breath, and I wondered, I thought he was talking about the female general.

Cheng, don't worry, let your uncle listen to you, fish floss and those carpentry jobs, I'll find someone else to do it."

When Mrs. Xu said this, she already had a list in her heart.

The fish floss involves her family's secret recipe, and she plans to use Meizhuang to use it for Qin Niang's younger brother to stir-fry it vigorously. Belong to the kind that knows every step of the way.

Speaking of vigor, Mrs. Xu found through observation that Qin Niang's eldest brother was more sleek than her family. If this kid has a platform to develop well, and then learns to read and settle accounts, he will be able to do big things over the years. This is by no means to belittle one's own children and exalt others.

Of course, no matter how good others are, they have to be born to her family. This will never change, but if necessary, Mrs. Xu plans to stay and work in her house for a long time.

There is another candidate for the Ming son of Liu Yongtian's family.

Liu Yongtian was implicated by his son Mingzi's private fishing, and his leg was broken by someone from Wangjiagou, and later died. This hatred, Liu Yongtian's family always felt that she took the lead in snatching back the river to take revenge.

Like that Akiko, her second son's carpentry list was not there, so he helped Bai to work. The fourth child also mentioned that when they went to Fucheng, the roof was lifted, one was Wang Yusheng really helping the Xu family, and the other was that the strong men of Liu Yongtian's family did not want to help.

Mrs. Xu plans to use this couple and vacate the house for her granddaughter.

Mrs. Xu took the old lady and Xu Youyin, who helped with the backpack, left with the front foot, and Xu Tianxin squatted in front of Xu Youliang with the back foot.

"Second uncle."

Xu Youliang trembled in his heart, and the better his niece smiled, the more panicked he became. There won't be another carpentry job.

Xu Tianxin began to draw flatbread: "Don't be afraid, second uncle, you don't want to have some money in your pocket, can you buy some gifts for my grandmother and my aunt for the New Year?" If you do a good job this time, Bai Xiu will pay you your salary, which is true!"
