The red cloth opened, revealing rows of silver bills inside, each of which was five taels, and there were more than a dozen of them.

Mrs. Min took a sip of tea, and then said, "This time the ice lantern is very good, and I have prepared forty taels of wages for you." There are also twenty taels, which I thank you for helping to avoid the scourge of running water.

You're welcome, just take it. You deserve it! ”

Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye were surprised and excited, and hurriedly saluted and thanked them.

At the end, when Tai Jizu stepped forward to take the tray, Mrs. Min saw the sleeves of his charred cotton jacket, thought about it, and instructed the grandmother, "Find them some cotton cloth and cotton, and sew some jackets, pants and shoes again." ”

Mama hurriedly responded, but she didn't want Tai Jizu to open her mouth and ask, "Thank you Madame for your kindness, but can our brother ask for a favor?"

"We don't want new cotton cloth and cotton, if our brothers and sisters who work in the house have old jackets and trousers, no matter how big or small, can you find us some?

"This time I made the ice sculpture, and many brothers in our clan came to help, but because of the thin jacket and pants, it was really cold. Some wanted to go out, but they didn't even have ...... pants."

Mrs. Min originally thought that Tai Jizu was not satisfied, disliked cotton, and wanted silk and satin.

Unexpectedly, he was thinking about his brothers who worked together, and begged for the old jackets and pants that the slaves had eliminated......

Mrs. Min felt more and more that the Tai brothers were simple and honest, so she spoke.

New cotton and cotton cloth were given, and the servants of the Manchurian house began to rummage through their old jackets and trousers......

Steward Min also received a reward of ten taels of silver, and showed his face greatly in front of the master, and he was even more grateful to the Tai brothers.

He personally took the two of them to the treasury to pick up things, and gave a little benefit, and the grandmother in charge of the treasury found seven or eight horses of half-used cotton cloth, and the cotton was also wrapped in twenty catties.

After collecting the old jackets and pants sent from everywhere, Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye couldn't wait to grow eight hands, but they couldn't take them.

So, Steward Min found a carriage again......

Yang Lihua hugged her daughter, sat in the carriage, surrounded by a bunch of things, and swayed for a long time before she came back to her senses.

No wonder the uncle thinks about doing business all day long, doing business is indeed a shortcut to making a fortune!

There are so many things, and there are sixty taels of silver, if you farm the land, I am afraid that you will be tired and tired of working to serve twenty acres of fertile land, and you will have to pay for a whole year to earn it back!

Now, it's just been three or five days of busyness, and it's just a matter of tapping some ice cubes......

Zhuzhu excitedly ran high in her mother's arms, and touched the two big boxes of snacks next to her from time to time, which were specially brought to her by Steward Min, a good snack for the banquet guests.

Go home and eat it for grandpa, and give it to your brother!

For the whole family!

Delicious and crispy sweets!

Yang Lihua's leg hurt when she was stepped on by her daughter, and when she woke up, she quickly instructed her husband and brother-in-law.

"The twenty taels that Mrs. Min rewarded were packed separately and not let the people in the clan see them. Forty taels of wages also hides ten taels, and no one can say anything except our family. ”

Tai Jizu hesitated a little, but Tai Jiye immediately responded, "Sister-in-law is right, the twenty taels of silver will be kept for Zhuzhu to grow up and buy a dowry, if Zhuzhu is not scared by her dream, we will not go to the garden." If the fire is kindled, let alone a reward, you will not be paid!

"And the salary, you can't tell the truth to the people. Tomorrow, I will go to each family with the Min steward to discuss business, so as not to give less wages, if the clansmen are so generous compared with the Min family, I am afraid that our family will make more money.

"When the time comes, the affection to help them will be gone, but it will be bad to be close on weekdays, and it will not be worth it."

Tai Jizu heard that what his younger brother said made sense, so he said, "Okay, listen to you." But be sure to explain it to your dad! ”

"Of course!" Yang Lihua hugged her daughter and kissed her chubby little face, feeling very emotional.

The girl is really a little lucky star!

With her, everything is going well at home, not to mention, even if there is a disaster, it can be avoided!

Soon, the carriage arrived at the broken courtyard in the north of the city.

Although he was very tired during the day, the old man and everyone didn't sleep, thinking about how the Min family was doing.

Hearing the movement outside the door, everyone rushed out.

After sending the Min family's carriage, everyone crowded into the hall, looking at the things all over the ground and speechless in shock.

Zhuzhu didn't care about this, she ran over with her little fat legs and pulled her brothers' hands, "Brother, it's a snack!" Good times! ”

Old Man Tai waved his hand and drove his grandchildren into the house, "Go and have a snack with your sister, don't delay everyone talking." ”

Tai Yongan immediately hugged his sister, Tai Yongning followed beside him, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were still a little entangled, but holding the snack box and smelling the sweet taste, their legs automatically made a choice......

For a while, there were only adults left in the hall, and Tai Jiye happily talked about the whole process, and everyone was worried or happy when he heard it.

In the end, Tai Jiye took out a cloth pocket, which was half copper coins and half silver horns.

Of course, this is also to facilitate their division of money, and they specially asked the Min steward to exchange it in the account room of the Min family.

Everyone's eyes lit up by three points, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

After working hard for several days, my fingers were frozen into carrots, just for this moment.

Old man Tai called Yang Lihua to step forward, and the work records and income and expenditure account books of the past few days were in her hands.

Yang Lihua didn't delay, opened the account book and crackled.

It is clear who has worked for several days, how much is paid per day, and how much is in total.

The silver in the bag decreased one after another, and everyone held their hands full of heaviness, smiling so much that they could not see their teeth and eyes, and praised without words.

"In previous winters, we were all cats starving at home, but this year we are really lucky, and we will get paid for a few ice cubes."

"Yes, it's all thanks to the blessings of the sixth uncle's family, and we have a good life."

"That's it, that's it, Uncle Six's business has to continue to be done, take us to eat!"

Old man Tai waved his hand and motioned to his eldest daughter-in-law to continue settling accounts.

Yang Lihua deducted all kinds of costs, and in the end, there were eight or nine taels of silver left at home.

The eyes of everyone were full of envy.

The old man looked at everyone's expressions, clicked the cigarette pouch and pot twice, and said, "The business of making ice lamps is our family's business, digging ice, hiring cars, buying fuel candles, and hiring people, the cost is indeed not small, and the income is more."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can say it, whether you will do this business by yourself in the future, or go home to Mao Dong'er, our family will not stop you.

"But if you want to stay, then you still follow the salary and treatment this time. The third child has contacted a lot of work, and he can always be busy for more than ten days.

"I'll say ugly things ahead, you go, our family will not stay. But stay and work hard, and don't get too angry. If this business is ruined, our family will not agree. ”

When they looked at the pile of money that had to be paid, their hearts sank with envy.

In the past few days, they have been working along and have learned some of the fur.

If you pick the leader and go out on your own, it shouldn't be too bad.

But this cost is really overwhelming, if you invest money and can't sell it in the end, won't you even lose the wages you earned......
