As Boss Zhao's wife spoke, she held out another hairpin with both hands, gritted her teeth and said, "There's also this one, it's wrapped in silver. If I ask Boss to pawn it in town tomorrow, I can get some money in exchange."

The big-headed daughter-in-law knew that this hairpin was left to her by the eldest daughter-in-law's deceased mother, so she only accepted the copper coins and said, "You keep the hairpin, it's too late to pawn it in the town."

Boss Zhao's wife obviously breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the hairpin into her underwear.

With the money collected by the two daughters-in-law, the Zhao family's money gap was not big. Zhao Datou borrowed 180 Wen from Niu Zhixin's family, which was enough to pay for the entrance fee.

As soon as Si Sheng came out of the thatched hut where he made dried tofu, he saw Dazhu walking toward him. He seemed to have something to say, but he only called "Fourth Brother."

In one sentence.

Si Sheng took him to a nearby place where there were few people and asked, "Dazhu, do you have enough money? I have some here. You can use it first."

Dazhu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I have enough money." As he said that, he took out the silver from his arms and said, "Fourth brother, I just want to ask if you can help me exchange it for copper coins."

Si Sheng saw two irregular pieces of broken silver in Dazhu's hand, which seemed to be more than one or two pieces in total.

Bankers don't have much money, so most of the time they use copper coins, rarely silver.

Si Sheng remembered that Dazhu once said that before fleeing the famine, when he returned to Hejiazhuang to pay back the money, he saw the He family being wiped out.

"Dazhu, are these the two pieces of silver your mother-in-law gave you from the He family?"

Dazhu blushed instantly and nodded after a while, "I don't have enough copper coins in my hand, so..."

Si Sheng said: "You should keep this silver. How many copper coins are you short of?"

Dazhu was a little anxious and said: "But..., I only have sixty-three coins."

Si Sheng took out a bunch of copper coins from the space and handed it to Dazhu, "This is one hundred coins. Take it and use it."

Dazhu clasped his hands behind his back a little helplessly, as if he was afraid that the copper coins would prick his hands, "No..., don't..., I only need ninety coins."

Si Sheng then joked: "Take it, it will be a round number so that you can calculate the interest. When the time comes, you can pay the dividends to me with more interest."

After hearing this, Dazhu looked a little more relaxed, reached out to take the money, put it away and said, "Okay, I'll remember the interest for Fourth Brother."

Dazhu relaxed and joked, "Fourth brother, if your interest rate is set too high, I won't be able to pay it back."

Si Sheng said: "Then give the cow to me. My Xue'er and Yong'an both care about that child."

Dazhu knew that Xiaoni and Niu Niu played with the children of the Ye family every day. When Si Sheng said this, he said with a smile on his face: "Okay, you can take it away now, and it will save my family's rations."

"If Niu Niu wants to give me a three-bedroom house, how can there be any reason to give him a four-bedroom house?"

Dazhu turned around and saw Sansheng standing behind him at some point. He hurriedly said respectfully: "Brother-in-law."

Sansheng nodded.

Seeing that San Sheng was looking for Dazhu for something, Si Sheng said hello and left.

San Sheng took out a small bunch of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to Dazhu, saying: "You can use this fifty cents to pay the social fee. Your sister and I don't have much ability, so we can only take out so much. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you again."

To think of a solution?"

Sansheng is different from Sisheng. Sisheng has lived in the Bai family in the town for many years and is relatively financially independent. Sansheng lives in the Ye family. The Ye family has not been divided. Sansheng will not have any savings at all. This money is

He secretly borrowed it from Mrs. Wang.

Of course Dazhu knew about the situation at his brother-in-law's family, so he didn't ask Sansheng at first. Unexpectedly, Sansheng took the initiative to collect money for him. Dazhu refused and said: "Brother-in-law, the money in my hand is enough to pay social fees."

, I don’t need this, you can keep it yourself.”

San Sheng was a little surprised, but he still insisted on stuffing the money into Dazhu's arms, "You can take what my brother-in-law gives you, and you don't need more."

No matter what he said, Dazhu refused to accept it. He was so anxious that he almost cried, "Brother-in-law, I don't want it. I have it. I can't drag you and my sister down anymore. My sister... is suffering too much."

Dazhu's words also made Sansheng feel inexplicably sad. He lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault that your sister has been wronged because of my incompetence."

Si Sheng walked far away and turned around to see San Sheng and Dazhu. He guessed something and shook his head feebly.

In the evening, Si Sheng finally took out the iron pot and made a big pot of crab roe tofu while making dried tofu.

There were white jade-like soft tofu pieces floating in the mushy yellow and bright soup. Suxue and Mr. Ye each held a bowl, sitting across from each other and drinking very drunk.

Suxue took a sip, squinted her eyes and asked Mr. Ye, "Sir, is this soup to your liking?"

Mr. Ye didn't even use a spoon, he sucked into the bowl one mouthful at a time. When Suxue asked him, he raised his head and glanced at her. The love in his eyes was self-evident.

Suxue expressed her merit and said: "Master, this is what I asked your son to do. Don't just say that your son is filial and forget that I, my granddaughter, am also thinking of you."

Mr. Ye then squinted his eyes and said, "If you don't even see a person all day long, you still think of me?"

Suxue has been a little busy these days. Even though she was in the yard, she really didn't go out of her way to talk to Mr. Ye.

Suxue was a little embarrassed, but in a blink of an eye she said flatteringly: "I'm here, aren't I? Master, I'll give you some dried beans."

Suxue, Wang Zeran, and Yong'an secretly ate the remaining pieces of dried tofu samples from yesterday. These are today's.

There was a lot of dried tofu left after delivering the goods this morning, so Si Sheng distributed some to each house, specially to let everyone taste the taste of its own products.

Suxue took her share and borrowed flowers to offer to Mr. Ye.

Seeing that Mr. Ye was unmoved, Suxue pretended to be crazy and said: "Master, what else do you want to eat? I will go to your fourth son. Even if he kills me, I will risk my life to get it for you."

Mr. Ye was amused, handed the empty bowl to Suxue, and said: "You want to have delicacies from all over the world, but I can't eat them now."

After dinner and a big bowl of crab roe and tofu soup, Mr. Ye was so full that he just wanted to lie down.

The Ye family enjoyed the soup, but other families in the yard enjoyed eating dried beans.

As expected, the taste of dried tofu captured everyone's tongues. Although each of the six families only took a small bite, they were extremely satisfied.

This is eighteen cents per pound of food. Before, they would not even dare to think about eating such high-end food.

The next day, Zhang Fu followed Suxue to deliver the goods, while Wang Zeran was left to teach Yongan and Niu Heng how to multiplication tables.

The two of them went to Ma's house first, met up with Ma Shun and Ma Li, and then entered the city together.

Ma Shun went to sign a contract today, so the few of them changed their usual route and went to Yuelai Inn first.

Knowing Ma Shun's identity, Shopkeeper Hua said with a smile: "The content of our contract needs to be adjusted again. The daily delivery volume must be changed to seventy kilograms. Fifty kilograms is not enough."

Ma Shun naturally agreed.

After Ma Shun signed the contract here, he broke up with Suxue and the others. He had to rush back to make tofu.

Nowadays, a large amount of tofu is used, and the Mashun family has to work non-stop to ensure the supply.

Suxue waited for the steward to collect the dried beans, settle the payment, and handed the money to Zhang Fu before leaving the Yuelai Inn.

As usual, Suxue and Zhang Fu accompanied Ma Li to Xinglong Inn to deliver the tofu, and finally went to Jixiang Restaurant.
