The vegetarian food in the temple is as good as ever. It has a fragrant smell, is light and light, and is very appetizing.
Already hungry, Song Qiu held a bowl of vegetarian rice and ate it cleanly. He couldn't help but burp after finishing the meal.
Looking at Zhang Lihua, she was also very satisfied with her meal. She grinned and said, "I had a bowl of dry rice during the Chinese New Year! This dry rice is really filling and delicious!"
Old Yuan and Song Qiu also laughed when they heard this.
It was already past noon, and the Buddha had paid his respects and was in a hurry to go home, so the three of them did not stay long and went down the mountain immediately.
After descending the mountain and retrieving the barrels and burdens, the three of them headed back to Songshan Village via the trail.
I have been really tired these past few days. I haven't slept well or rested well. I finally don't have to sell rice dumplings tomorrow. Song Qiu just feels relaxed all over.
When this business comes to an end, the first thing to calculate is how much money you made.
Therefore, as soon as he got home, he went into the kitchen to drink water to quench his thirst. Seeing that there was no one in Zhang's yard, Song Qiu took Zhang Lihua to stay and settled the accounts first.
At that time, the two agreed to form a partnership, and the money they invested together was 620 fen. They then bought a total of 330 jins of glutinous rice, plus red beans and red dates, for a total of 3,800 fen.
In addition, there is labor. The Zhang family works for three days and earns one hundred and eighty cents. The Zhou family works for one and a half days and earns sixty cents. In addition, there is also five kilograms of truck money. Starting from the first day of selling rice dumplings, the wages will increase every few days.
The total is one hundred and sixty articles.
For the remaining days, the stall fee and the money for steamed buns and steamed buns totaled fifty-three cash.
The bamboo shells are made at no cost, and the firewood is also collected by myself. I used the Zhang family's and Zhou's family's firewood, as a personal note, and there is no cost involved here.
Now that the cost is clear, the next step is how much it was sold for.
Now there is no expenses here, everything is earned. Several money bags were taken out and placed on the table. The three people looked a little excited.
"From the first day of the Lunar New Year to today, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we sold a total of 1,677 large rice dumplings and 388 strings of nine-zi rice dumplings, for a total of 8,911 Wen."
"Excluding all the capital of 4,253 fen and the principal of 715 fen, the balance is 4,038 fen."
The principal here is 715 Wen, in addition to her and Zhang Lihua's own 620 Wen, there are also 95 Wen used in the scraps of silver given by Zhang Yang.
Now, the money in the several money bags here has been counted to 620 cash, and after counting another 289 cash, the remaining 4,038 cash is what she and Zhang Lihua want to share.
Zhang Lihua didn't know how to settle accounts. She only listened carefully to Song Qiu's words and understood what was going on with the principal. However, Old Yuan was confused and didn't understand why the principal was only more than 700 Wen, but the two girls knew what was going on.
, she didn’t ask any more questions.
"Well, that is to say, after we have been busy for so many days, we have made a total of four thousand yuan in this business!" Song Qiu smiled and grinned.
Zhang Lihua's eyes were bright with joy as she listened.
Song Qiu quickly divided the money in the purse and tied it into a hundred strings with his hands and feet. Zhang Lihua and Lao Yuan also helped.
"Our initial capital of three hundred and twenty cents per person is taken out first, and what Brother Zhang Yang gave is mixed in and divided together. That is four thousand three hundred and twenty-seven divided into two halves, and each person is two thousand and one.
One hundred and sixty-three, and still only one person!"
Song Qiu talked to Zhang Lihua and started to move the coins in front of Zhang Lihua.
Zhang Lihua was startled when she heard this, and quickly grabbed her hand, "Ah Qiu! You can't think of it this way. This rice dumpling was your idea. You and Grandma Yuan are the busiest and most tired. I'll be here to work for two days.
After calculating the wages, neither you nor Grandma Yuan calculated the wages, so the money cannot be divided like this!"
"I paid the money to own one share. It's just a dry share. I don't have to worry about anything. I'm blindly following you to make money. It's really half and half, and I can't stand it."
"In this way, it's 28 points, I'll give you 2 points!"
Zhang Lihua's attitude was very firm. Seeing this, Song Qiu had no choice but to say: "Four or six."
But Zhang Lihua still shook her head, "Four or six is not enough. If you calculate it this way, Grandma Yuan should also have a share. She is busier than me. Ah Qiu, if you think two or eight is not enough, then I will be shameless and say three or seven. That's what I said."
It’s settled, but no more, otherwise I’ll get my capital back and treat it as if I didn’t join the gang.”
She was thick-skinned and did not treat Aqiu as an outsider, but this rice dumpling was really something that Aqiu and Grandma Yuan had been busy with for a few days.
Seeing this, Song Qiu had no choice but to nod, "Then let's take thirty-seven. Brother Zhang Yang gave us a separate share, half for each person. I will get one hundred and forty-three, and you will get one hundred and forty-four."
"I earned 4,038 cents. It's hard to divide the 38 cents, so I'll give each person half. The remaining 37 cents, I'll get 2,800 cents, and you'll get 1,200 cents."
Saying that, Song Qiu then moved the coins in front of Zhang Lihua. All that should be given to Zhang Lihua was sixteen coins and seventy-three loose coins.
"Here, these are all yours, Lihua."
Zhang Lihua looked at it and couldn't believe it. After a few days, the three hundred articles turned into more than 1,600. It doubled several times, and a small pile turned into a large pile.
This is true.
She shook her hands and touched the money sling again and again, and finally said with a shy smile: "Ah Qiu, you should keep the money for me."
Song Qiu nodded, took the empty money bag, put all her money together, tied the rope tightly, and put it aside.
After the accounts were divided, Zhang Lihua didn't stay too long and hurried home, otherwise there would be shouting at home.
Zhang Lihua left, leaving only two grandchildren.
Song Qiu pointed to the pile of money in front of him and smiled at Old Yuan: "Mistress, we have earned nearly three taels of silver!"
In fact, adding the original 310 coins and Zhang Yang's 143 coins, there are already three taels here.
Old Yuan nodded happily and gratifiedly, "Aqiu, you can do this. Just looking at you, I feel that you have grown up, and you can also take charge of our family."
"You earned this money, you keep it yourself."
"Hey! Okay, then from now on, all our family's expenses will come from me!" Song Qiu heard that she was happy that her grandma was willing to let her take care of the money, so she was not polite, "Grandma,
I plan to invite Uncle Wujin’s family and Grandma Deng’s family to have a whole meal. Although I’m paid, it’s still quite tiring to work so hard. Wages are wages, and favors are favors. Do you think that’s okay?”
"Okay, what's wrong? It's time to treat people to a meal. Didn't you see that yesterday, when we made so many rice dumplings, everyone was so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs or lift their arms. They couldn't even take care of the food.
It's delicious. Ah Qiu, if you cook well, let's make a delicious meal for them." Old Yuan nodded, obviously agreeing with it.
Song Qiu said: "Then I will go to Ping'an Market early tomorrow morning to buy some meat, and then treat them to dinner in the evening."
"Well, just buy it if you want."
The grandfather and grandson agreed, and Song Qiu carefully put away all the money. He didn't plan to do anything else in the afternoon, and it was important to take a good rest.
