Chapter 22 The First Pot of Gold
When the four of them returned home, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family felt excited. When they went to the upper room, they talked to Mrs. Wang and Old Man Li about the happenings in the town.
Zhao Yunlan only felt tired, not from selling things, but from walking back and forth on this rugged country road.
"Hey" Zhao Yunlan sighed, rubbed his calves, finished the accounts in the room, rested for a while and then went to the room.
"Everyone is here, let me talk about today's income and expenses." Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao and sat on the small desk with Xiaobao in his arms.
"Father, mother, today we brought sixteen baskets to the town, including two baskets of fungus, two baskets of mushrooms, one basket of spring bamboo shoots, and eight eggs. The five baskets filled with mountain products sold for a total of one hundred coins, and the eggs
Sixteen cents were sold, and the remaining eleven baskets were sold for 165 cents. A total of 281 cents were sold today."
Li Mingzhi exclaimed happily: "I didn't even have time to calculate it today. It turns out there is so much money."
Old Man Li also rubbed his hands happily: "Okay, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell it."
Wang's face also looked happy: "Mom, I know you were right. Everyone has worked hard today."
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Well, we bought vegetable buns and steamed buns to eat in the town, and we spent ten cents. This money is considered to be spent by myself."
Mrs. Li: "You can eat as long as you want. You will be considered the male winner. Mothers don't care about such trivial matters."
"Okay, then I'll go in and buy a pound of pork belly and a pound of fat meat for twenty-seven cents, seasonings for ten cents, and half a catty of fine salt, which cost twenty cents.
A total of sixty-seven yuan was spent today." Zhao Yunlan finished talking about the things he bought.
"Why did you buy so much meat today? Hey, why did you spend so much money?" Old Man Li frowned as he felt sorry for spending so much money.
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Originally I wanted to buy suet, but when I went there it was sold out, so I bought a pound of fat meat and wanted to make some oil. Dad, these are nourishing the body, and the money is worth it. We
I made my first pot of gold today, just think of it as a reward."
Wang took a sip of water and said, "Just buy it if you buy it. Lan Niang always has a sense of proportion in everything she does. Since Lan Niang is in charge now, we two should not interfere too much. If you buy this meat, the whole family can eat it."
Old Man Li lowered his head to drink the water in the bowl and stopped talking.
Zhao Yunlan took a sip of water and continued: "Dad, apart from the blooming ones, we also made 214 cash today. Since I dare to spend it, I can make it back again."
When Old Man Li heard that he still earned more than 200 yuan, his face relaxed a lot. You can't blame Old Man Li for being so fussy. Everyone is used to being frugal on weekdays. Apart from the eldest son studying and Mr. Wang buying medicine, he never bothered with food at home.
You spend so much money.
Seeing that everyone had no more problems, Zhao Yunlan put away the account books and went to the kitchen to cook.
I bought seasonings today, just for that bite of braised pork. Zhao Yunlan has been thinking about it for a long time. Li Mingmei is helping out. Recently, Li Mingmei has learned a lot about cooking with Zhao Yunlan. Zhao Yunlan is also famous for being able to boil a big pot of oil and save it.
Feeling satisfied means that the family has a surplus of food and is not worried about it. It will gradually allow the family to have a surplus of food.
During dinner, Old Man Li was eating braised pork and had forgotten about worrying about buying more meat. He kept holding the braised pork, and even almost grabbed the same piece of meat with Li Mingzhi, if Xiaobao hadn't been giggling next to him.
, Old Man Li remembered that he was a grandfather, so he let the piece of meat go. Only the last soup liquid went into Old Man Li's stomach along with the rice. Old Man Li patted his belly happily and looked forward to the next braised pork.
Zhao Yunlan and the Li brothers and sisters were covering their mouths and laughing.
Before going to bed, Zhao Yunlan asked Old Man Li not to make flower baskets for the next few days. Old Man Li was puzzled. Zhao Yunlan explained: "There are not many people in the town who can make flower baskets, and the style of this flower basket is very good."
It has been imitated by someone. Someone who knows how to weave bamboo can buy one and take a look at it. I think he can make it. I will go to the town the day after tomorrow to check the situation and make arrangements."
Old Man Li was in a state of ups and downs that day. If he had ever been on a roller coaster, he would definitely be able to describe it. Now he had no choice but to go back to his room with his head hanging.
