Chapter 456 Private conversation between husband and wife
"Charcoal is a small-profit-but-quick-turnover product. We have a limited supply of Xiangpaizi every month. Let's not talk about it. You can't make much money by selling it. The same goes for maltose. We have to use food and we can't make it for the time being. Oral lipase, tooth powder, shampoo and purple
It’s not like straw ointment can be sold in large quantities, and only the dyeing business can be done.”
Yan Yu talks eloquently, and her voice is crisp and clear.
"The white cotton cloth is dyed black by the dyeing bureau. The blue color costs 7.5 cents of silver. It is still the official price, and the private dyeing bureau is more expensive. Moreover, it is cold in Guanzhou, and the deep dyeing takes too long many times, and there are too many dyeing bureaus.
It's not accepted.
My mother and I have studied the entire bamboo slip. Although it says blue dyeing, in fact, the colors of dyeing cloth are all covered. Plants and flowers can be dyed. As long as you master the method of applying and fixing the colors, red, pink, yellow, green, purple and blue.
Black...whatever color nature has, we dye it whatever color it is!”
Yan Yu became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and her little fists were clenched.
"Build a dyeing vat and maintain it carefully. It can dye for a long time. The only initial cost is to build the vat. The subsequent labor costs are almost negligible. If we can start with indigo dyeing and develop various colors, we will have a dyeing workshop.
, Dad, you said you wanted to hand over the future dyeing workshop, but your current reasons are not enough to convince me."
Yan Laoer was speechless when he saw that his daughter, who was well-reasoned and had done a lot of preparation work in advance and took the matter of dyeing cloth seriously, was speechless.
Li Xuemei looked at him and suddenly said: "Xiaoer, go to your aunt's house and invite people over to our house."
Yan Yu was talking, and when he heard this, he tilted his head and looked at Li Xuemei.
With a sigh of relief, he dressed neatly and got off the kang.
After she left, Li Xuemei asked directly: "What are you going to do with the money?"
Don't say anything like leaving it to your elder brother and leaving it at home.
Over the past few months, Li Xuemei has also noticed that Lao Yan is a big man, but he doesn't care about saving money and spending money at home. He likes the feeling of being surrounded by his younger brother and children, or in other words, he is in love with others.
When he paid the bills, he enjoyed the atmosphere of keeping the family together at that moment. The same reason was true for giving money to his brother and children.
A person who is emotionally reserved expresses his care for his family members through the most common and common things.
Those coins and copper plates can also be regarded as Yan Huaiwen's love and care.
As long as the family is not short of money, the eldest brother has never taken the initiative to ask about the family's accounts.
Yan Laoer came close to his wife, put his arms around her, and gently put his head on Li Xuemei's shoulder. "I really don't do anything, but I feel that it should be given to the eldest brother."
Li Xuemei patted his hand and encouraged him to continue speaking.
"In addition to Da Ya's marriage... my eldest brother also mentioned something. After the examination next year, he may go to wait for the official position..."
"Hand-in-waiting?" Li Xuemei looked puzzled and pushed his head away, turning sideways so that the two of them faced each other.
"The imperial court has this rule. If you are successful, you can go to the capital to wait for an official position, or you can wait for a vacancy in your home. Do you still have to wait for the vacancies in Guanzhou? They are all ready. One is waiting for you here, and the others are
The big mansion is in need of people, so when we get to Guanzhou Mansion, our eldest brother can probably pick some of the vacancies..."
"How long have you been and you're still kidding?" Li Xuemei said angrily.
Yan Laoer said with a smile: "I'm used to it..."
"Brother doesn't plan to take the college entrance examination?" Li Xuemei felt something was wrong. This was different from what her daughter said. Didn't it mean that he would become a high official in the future?
"My elder brother said that I want to prepare for another three years. If I succeed in the exam, I will go to Beijing to take the exam in the next subject." Yan Laoer frowned and said: "But I don't think it is right. If you are not sure, shouldn't you study at home? Or
I just want to find a good college and attend serious classes for a few years. Why would I want to wait for an official position...
I actually don’t quite understand this. Can I continue to take the exam after I become an official? If the eldest brother says it’s OK, maybe it’s OK... But wife, do you think it’s because the eldest brother thinks that our family has a poor financial background, so he doesn’t go to school and chooses this way?
Work-study?”
Yan Laoer inevitably has to think more.
After all, my daughter is young and has never been out of school, and the two of them have taken over the lives of Yan Laoer and his wife. In fact, there has always been a pressure in their hearts.
If the family could be separated from the beginning, it would be nice for them to live their own little lives.
Seeing Lao Yan, their good eldest brother had no intention of splitting up the family. As a family, every aspect of their life must be taken into consideration.
What he said before about preparing for Daya in advance was not a lie. A woman's dowry is too important, it is her future confidence in her husband's family.
And if the eldest brother and Heng'er want to go all the way to take the exam, they will also need a lot of money.
"Why don't you talk to your child directly about this?" Li Xuemei stared at him and said calmly: "We all know Xiaoyu's temperament. As long as you explain the truth, she is not a child who values money."
"Actually... I haven't thought about it. After all, only my daughter can see the things on that platform. Didn't we both say that those things belong to our eldest child, and we will raise the second eldest child like the children here?"
, what should be hidden should be kept hidden, so that she does not know that.
Therefore, those handwritten books and bamboo slips are all our Dabao’s belongings.
I'm not happy with this, poaching my daughter's corner and posting it at home... Well, what can I say, I feel like we are doing a prosperous job here, but my eldest brother has no money to do it, it's no wonder..."
The family didn't have enough money, so the eldest brother had to find ways to make money. Instead of studying hard, he went to wait for an official position.
Yan Laoer said with a serious look: "Let me tell you, these candidates are all junior officials of the eighth or ninth grade, and their salaries are not much. After several years, if you concentrate on studying, will you be more confident? The teacher said, the more you go
The harder it is to pass the test, the more troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge..."
Li Xuemei heard the commotion outside and her daughter was invited over.
He said, "You will settle the tofu business with your daughter later. If it's early, you can go around the village and come back after dinner. I'll talk to our Dabao."
Yan Laoer's face was filled with joy, and he suddenly felt that with the help of his family leaders, success would be achieved.
Li Xuemei saw through his little thoughts and rolled her eyes at him: "Don't think too much. At present, your reasons have not convinced me. I think you have spent your time with Teacher Tian in vain, and your studies are very problematic. What you said
The hidden front is not leaking, the meaning is meaningful and the aftertaste is deep. You can hide it and hold it back, but it is a bit crooked. What kind of tricks are you using with your daughter?"
As if you can get over her.
My understanding of myself is too biased!
Yan Laoer said aggrievedly: "The teacher said that you should think too much when things happen, and don't always speak straightforwardly. In the future, when dealing with scholars, you will have to be in a fog. Talking about it will make people confused.
I've been thinking about this for a while, wife, if you say that, I've learned nothing."
Li Xuemei glanced at the sheepskin clothing on the kang, pointed at it and said: "Look at this clothing, it comes from a sheep. Put it on Gouzhu. Gouzhu is still a dog and cannot become a sheep."
Gou Zhu was lying obediently in the room. When he heard his name, he perked up his ears, stood up and shook his fur, jumped onto the kang, arched his head, got under his clothes, and came out from the other side.
One end popped out.
Sticking out his tongue, he walked briskly in front of Li Xuemei and Yan Laoer, twirling around to show off.
Li Xuemei laughed and nodded its dog's head.
Yan Laoer:......
