Chapter 13: 13 Silver
Chapter 13 13 Silver
After school today, An Chuxia walked out of Gu's private school with a book basket as usual.
But there is an extra basket on my back.
An Jinchen sat in the ox cart and saw his sister coming out, waved to her, "Xia Xia, here!"
An Chuxia walked over and put the basket on the ox cart, and climbed up and sat down.
"Brother! How are you selling braised pork at Yunshui Wharf today?"
An Jinchen drove the ox cart out of the town, and the joy on his face could not be concealed. "There are so many people on the road, be careful of the ears of the walls, let's talk about it when we go back!"
Seeing him like this, An Chuxia didn't understand, so he must have sold well, for fear that others would hear that he would cause trouble again.
An Jinchen was in a good mood along the way and hummed a little song.
I was so happy to see this brother who usually does any dirty and tiring work to support himself in his studies.
An Chuxia showed a comfortable smile, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and let the evening breeze blow slowly across her cheeks.
Sometimes she really feels sorry for her brother who has taken on all the burdens of her family before she is in her prime.
An Chuxia felt that she had done the right thing this time to see him so happy.
The brother and sister returned home, but An Jinchen did not return the ox cart to Runsheng.
After feeding the cows, An Jinchen started cooking supper.
When he is at home, he will never let An Chuxia do housework.
An Jinchen thought that her sister wanted to study and become a high-ranking official, so how could she let the family affairs be wasted her time?
After the brother and sister finished their meal, An Jinchen said it with excitement about their braised pork today.
"This morning, Runsheng and I just arrived at Yunshui Wharf and found a place close to the passing boats, lit the stove and started cooking the braised meat in the pot.
The first thing that was attracted by the aroma of braised meat was the coolie who carried goods.
But they are all people who work hard labor to make money. I heard that they cost thirty cents per pound, so I was a little reluctant to let it go.
In the end, I couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma of braised meat. Two or three people bought a pound together, and the one I ate with the coarse steamed buns was called Xiang.
I used to help people move goods there, and I know how tiring it is to be a coolie. As long as they buy it, I will give them more."
An Jinchen himself has also worked hard, and he will empathize with these people.
"Then the aroma of braised meat drifted to the boats that were docked at the docks, and more and more people on the boats would come over to buy a few kilograms and take them back to the boat to eat.
Originally, I was afraid that I could not sell so much meat.
Unexpectedly, a boat owner came soon after noon and bought the remaining braised meat together, saying that he would add meals to the workers on the boat."
An Jinchen's handsome face was flushed with excitement. He took out the fifteen taels of silver he earned today and some copper coins he put them on the table.
It was the first time he had earned so much money in one day.
An Chuxia looked at this cheap brother with a funny look and took the cloth bag wrapped in copper plates and silver from his bookcase to the table.
"This is the braised pork money sold by my teacher's wife for me today, and it costs more than six taels of silver in total."
An Chuxia took out a few taels of broken silver from it and pushed the cloth bag to An Jinchen.
"I plan to buy these money for my teacher's wife and her family on the Dragon Boat Festival, and buy some quality fabrics as holiday teachers' salutes."
An Jinchen looked at An Chuxia with relief, feeling that his sister was becoming more and more sensible.
I don’t know when it started, but the decadent aura in my body seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
It seems that since I fell into the water, it seems that it is not. Anyway, my sister has changed in a direction that is getting better and better.
"Is it enough? Xia Xia, you can't be careless about the boasting ceremony for your husband."
An Chuxia nodded, "Enough, brother, please put away the other money!"
Only then did An Jinchen happily put the silver together and counted it again.
After counting, he said excitedly: "Xia Xia, remove the money to buy a festive gift for the husband.
There are still eighteen taels, six cents and twenty-nine citations here.”
An Jinchen's clear eyes were flashing with mist, "Brother, don't worry anymore. I don't have money to support you in school. The money I sold on this day is enough for you to go to school for two years!"
An Chuxia put his hand on the back of An Jinchen's hand.
She didn't expect that this brother was so psychologically under such great pressure and was always worried that she would not be able to earn enough money to support her sister to continue studying.
After a moment of depression, An Jinchen quickly became excited again, "Xia Xia, I am going to go to the next village tomorrow. Wan Butcher's house will buy raw pork and come back to make it. What do you think?"
An Chuxia was a little surprised. This was the first time An Jinchen discussed with him about making money at home.
Every time she mentioned An Jinchen, she would think that I didn’t listen, and I didn’t listen, so you wouldn’t refuse these things seriously.
“Of course, but we need a lot of pork.
When you go to buy pork, you can discuss with Wan Butcher appropriately to reduce the price of raw pork."
An Jinchen nodded, feeling deeply that what his sister said was reasonable.
After the incident was finished, the brother and sister also washed and went back to their room to sleep.
The next day.
An Chuxia was stopped by her teacher's wife Gu as soon as she arrived at the private school.
Tell her yesterday that the owner of Guangyuan Tavern and Du Family Restaurant bought braised pork from here.
Because the guests like this dish made of braised pork, I came to ask early this morning if our family still sells braised pork.
Thinking of his brother An Jinchen's desire to continue the braised pork business, An Chuxia and his wife went to meet Luo Lindong, the owner of Guangyuan Tavern, and Du Qiuzhi, the owner of the Du Family Restaurant.
After the negotiation, we signed a contract with them to ensure the taste and quality of the braised pork.
In order for the two parties to cooperate happily and have fewer disputes, the two companies must check and taste the goods when they are getting the goods, and then weigh and take them away after confirming that there is no quality problem with the braised meat.
After the braised pork is taken away, if any accident occurs, there is no relationship with Anjia.
An Chuxia would add this to the contract to prevent any problems with braised pork in their own store.
Later, in order to shirk responsibility, they will push the problem to Anjia braised pork.
The owner of the tavern and the owner of the restaurant saw that the braised meat they tasted were not included in the amount they purchased.
Besides, when they checked the spot, they would definitely cut a piece of braised meat at will and eat it at will, which also guarantees their interests and will not enter stale braised meat.
So the two families agreed to the agreement.
After An Chuxia returned home, she handed the contract to An Jinchen.
From then on, An Jinchen and Runsheng were busy buying raw pork every day and making braised pork. In the early morning, they drove a ox cart to Yunshui Wharf to sell braised pork.
The two companies in Qingshi Town want to take the goods to Chuxia when they go to private schools every day.
The gangsters at Yunshui Wharf saw that An Jinchen had a good business and had also come to cause trouble, but some of them knew Brother Runsheng as a constable in the county government.
In the end, in order to save some trouble, An Jinchen still gave some street stall fees, and the gangsters never came to them to charge other fees.
