"Each family has twelve taels and two hundred coins. This belongs to our family." Yan Huaiwen paid the big bill first, and then put the string of copper coins on the small table. "Here are two thousand nine hundred and forty-six coins.
It’s the money you guys spend to buy horse meat, which is calculated as thirty cents per catty. Each family has more than two catties, so I asked Luo San’s family to cut three catties.”
Yan Huaiwen slowly took the money and nodded reservedly: "Not bad."
Then he pushed the two stringed strings back and said: "Since you like to mess with these things, prepare enough copper coins and clarify them in person. The silver and goods are both done."
Yan Laoer happily hung the copper plate on his body again, which made him feel more at ease.
"Brother, what do you think if I stock up on some herbs? There are also furs. Uncle An's leather tanners are pretty average, but it's cold in Guanzhou. It's better to have some than nothing. I can sell some for some money, right?"
Yan Huaiwen: "Everything has its value. What you have to consider is whether the profit between the cost and the selling price satisfies you. The journey is long and it is not easy to carry things. You have to think clearly and make a choice."
Yan Laoer nodded repeatedly.
"Also, I have a lot of meat today. How can you thank me?"
"I plan to wait until dark and send some money over." How could he work for someone else in vain?
"If you are still in the village, it is appropriate to give money, but it is not appropriate to give money on the way. Since everyone has bought horse meat, you might as well send some food there. The Luo family has many boys and the food rations are tight."
This is thinking about what people want and being anxious about what people need.
Yan Huaiwen planned to take this opportunity to teach God Bless the human nature in this village.
"It's the same with the brothers of the Qi family. You should show some respect for your troubles."
"I have made an agreement with Qi Da, Qi Si and Qi Wu that we will burn charcoal and sell it, and we will also make spicy rice dumplings. If we make money in the future, their share will definitely be indispensable." Yan Laoer had to explain that he was not in vain.
When you hire someone, you promise to make a fortune together in the future.
"Business and favor are two different things." Yan Huaiwen said slowly: "It's good that you make a deal with the Qi brothers and run the business together, but you also need to remember that they protect you."
Yan Huaiwen saw clearly these few encounters with bandits.
The three brothers of the Qi family stayed by Tianyou's side, saying that they were going to Chuanyun Village today. Everyone knew that the bandits were fighting for money and food in the den. Just because he left Tianyou behind, the three brothers of the Qi family chose to stay behind without hesitation.
.
As an elder brother, he sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart.
"The three of them have huge appetites. No matter which meat ration they have, you should keep an eye on them."
Yan Laoer must admit that he really neglected this point.
They are all his good brothers. He still has so much meat, so he doesn’t think about giving some away. He only thinks about selling copper plates and making dried meat...
"Brother, I understand what you mean."
He was still influenced by his previous thinking and thought it was best to give him money.
Before, my pockets were clean and life was tight. A handful of wild vegetables and eggs were all good. But now that I have entered the mountains, I have much more food.
He thought further and thought that silver would be more useful in Guanzhou.
But they forgot that the purchasing power of money was insufficient at this time, and the situation of each family was also different. Like the Luo family and the Qi family, they only had a little but not a lot of food.
…
Li Xuemei: "The child's uncle is right. If one family gives you something, it will be difficult for that family to give you money. You should pay more attention in the future."
Aunt Qi also always said that the three brothers are so good at eating that they never seem to have enough to eat. We have a lot of horse meat left in our family. You can cut more and send it away. I'm afraid Aunt Qi won't accept it. If you do this, take those three brothers out.
Find a place where you can carry people, set up a pot and let them eat in the open."
Yan Laoer laughed, this is okay.
Went out for a late night snack with my brothers, it was so beautiful.
"Brother told me to make a choice, herbs or furs, which one do you want to give up?" Yan Laoer asked his wife.
Li Xuemei said matter-of-factly: "They must have given up their furs. It's not like you haven't seen it. Uncle An and his leather tanners are barely average at it. Besides, how can the wild animals here compare with those in the north? It's cold over there, and the wild animals are so cold."
The hair is growing better, and besides, the season is wrong now, it’s so hot, and the hair is still falling..."
She murmured: "No wonder there is a piece missing here and a piece missing there, like a dog chewing..."
Yan Laoer:......
He asked curiously: "Mei, how do you know so much?"
Li Xuemei glared at him, turned away, and stopped talking.
What's going on? What did he say that he shouldn't have said?!
Full of questions, Yan Laoer went to look for his daughter. Look, the girl lying on the upper bunk with her little head about to fall off was not his daughter.
He watched from a distance and saw that his daughter was playing guerrilla very well.
Instead of staring at Lao Yan all the time, she looked at Lao Yan for a while, then took her little head back, and then quietly poked it out again. She also looked around, as if looking at the scenery aimlessly, observing Lao Yan's movements with her peripheral vision.
…
major!
He had a lot of time to wait.
The first information about his daughter must have been reported to him.
Weighed the two strings of copper coins, thought about it for a while, took apart twenty of them and prepared them.
Ten coins was afraid that his daughter would think it was too little, so twenty coins was about the same.
His net worth is very transparent, and it would be unrealistic to give him too much.
While waiting, I saw Lao Yan calling some children over.
Her daughter climbed down from the upper bunk neatly and jumped to call her nephew and niece.
The three children stood in an orderly manner.
Lao Yan said a few words and then...
Yan Laoer opened his eyes wide and saw that Lao Yan gave each of the three children some copper coins.
Her daughter was the least likely to notice, she was grinning so much that her mouth reached behind her ears.
Holding the twenty essays he had prepared, Yan Laoer fell into deep thought.
Lao Yan has distributed money to the children, will he do so?
If so, how much is appropriate?
…
Yan Yu was as happy as a little bird.
It turned out that I was so happy to be given money by my uncle!
No wonder her father was so high-spirited. The money had just fallen into his pocket and it felt like it was hot to the touch, so he hurriedly delivered it to his uncle.
Aim at her father's position and run!
Yan Yu rushed over with a blushing face, and Yan Laoer lowered his body, caught her, and spun her around.
"How much money does your uncle give you to make you happy?"
Yan Yu's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect it at all, so it's an unexpected surprise. I'm so happy!"
She took out the coins from the backpack behind her and showed them to her father.
"Look, there are ten articles."
Yan Yu added: "Uncle said, this is to reward us for not putting down our homework despite the inconvenience of the journey. He hopes that we will be so diligent in the future.
Hahaha! This is my reward for studying well!
Dad, uncle also set the standards for us. I got the first class, my elder sister got the second class, with eight coins, and my eldest brother got the third class, with only five coins, hahaha!
The uncle said that the eldest brother has been a little slack these days and is not as diligent as before. He is much inferior to me and the eldest sister.
Oops! With my excellent learning ability, I can’t even keep a low profile!”
Yan Yu spins around beautifully.
Yan Laoer sighed.
Incomparable! Incomparable!
Look at Lao Yan, he is so particular about giving money.
His daughter's enthusiasm for learning suddenly increased.
