After hundreds of jars of minced pepper sauce were made, Xu Chunshan was too lazy to build a new shop, so he sold them in a pig's trotter rice shop. Within two days, they were all sold out.
Xu Chunshan counted the money and calculated the wages for farming, picking peppers, truck costs, labor costs, and the cost of materials for making chili sauce.
After some calculation, well, there is still a balance of twenty taels.
He touched the four silver ingots and couldn't help laughing with Zhang Xiulan: "I have been busy since February. Up to now, in seven months, I have earned twenty taels, which is less than three taels of silver a month. Not to mention
, even being a shopkeeper in many shops can’t make the same salary as me.”
Zhang Xiulan scolded him: "Don't even look at yourself. You are dark and thin, like a monkey. It is hard to earn these twenty taels of silver."
After that, he took the four silver ingots and put them into the money box together. The money he had been spending one after another had now been earned back, and he wanted to give it to his daughter to keep it safe.
He couldn't help but said: "This money is really hard to earn. It's taken in here and there. Added up, our family's assets now are only more than 3,000 taels, less than 4,000. It's not even enough to pay Cong Yun's 5,000 taels."
Two."
After hearing this, Xu Chunshan said: "Ren Congyun has already said that if he doesn't want it, don't give it back. That's not a sign of betrayal, isn't it?"
When he talked about his future son-in-law, his tone was full of pride. The results of the college examination came out. Yang Shiqiu, who was the first in the case, was a friend of the future son-in-law. When everyone talked about him, they said during the discussion that the future son-in-law was even more talented and learned.
It is not a problem for him to be the head of the case in the court examination in the future.
He is not good at reading, but he likes those who are good at reading. Only those who are good at reading are worthy of his smart daughter.
Zhang Xiulan said: "If I don't pay it back, I have to give our daughter a dowry to accompany her. In addition to this share, we also have to prepare another dowry for our daughter. So I said, money is hard to earn. Why is it so slow to earn it?"
"My daughter is getting married in two years. Are you afraid that you won't be able to save money? I heard what Manager Wu said. The peppers will be popularized starting from next year. By then, they will be popular. People will eat them this way and that way. How many of us will eat them?
If you do something, you will earn money."
"You can't even dream of earning five thousand taels of silver a year, so what else do you want?"
Zhang Xiulan listened and thought that this was true, so she said nothing.
He turned around and took the money box to his daughter and handed it to her to put away.
In modern times, when money is deposited in a bank, there is interest. If you put it here, there is also interest in a bank, but it is the person who deposits the money who pays interest to the bank.
It's a waste of money, nothing can compare to the security and concealment of space, and it's guaranteed not to be lost.

Xu Erlang's wedding day was in late September. Although the backyards of the shops on Ranfang Street were all decorated, they had already bought a house, so naturally it was more convenient to get married in the house.
Xu Dajun's horse, which had been idle for a long time, also came in handy.
Speaking of this horse, Xu Dajun couldn't help crying. Fang Yuxing, who learned horse riding with him, could ride it, but he still couldn't ride it and run happily.
Every time during the holidays, everyone goes out to race horses together. Others really run, but he is walked by the horse.
Don't talk anymore. If you talk too much, you will shed tears. From now on, he can sit quietly in the carriage and be a quiet and beautiful man.
The carriage that dad just bought for Xu Yinyin is very elegant, but he can't favor one thing over another. He has to ask dad to buy him one too.
Early that morning, the wedding team set off from the Xu family's second-bedroom house in Baiyufang and went to Luo's Shop on Jinxiu Street behind Yangliu Lane to welcome the bride.
Xu Erlang rode a big horse tied with red flowers, followed by Xu Dajun, Xu Sanlang and other young men, and entered Jinxiu Street in a mighty manner.
The Luo family also loves their daughter very much. The marriage has been scheduled for more than half a year. Both parties are very young. The person who blocked the door has been warned a long time ago. Don't make it more difficult. Just let him in if you feel like it.
After receiving the bride, the team went back to Baiyufang with a lot of fanfare.
The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber.
On the second day of the acknowledgment ceremony, Luo Shi also prepared handmade shoes and socks for his elders, and purses and handkerchiefs for his peers.
Later, while having breakfast, Mr. Yu suddenly felt unwell and vomited before even finishing a mouthful of porridge.
Luo Shi made this breakfast when he got up early, but it scared Luo Shi.
But when the doctor came for a consultation, it turned out that Yu was two months pregnant.
This is a double happiness. Ma and Xu Chunhe are happy, and Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu are also happy.
This is the first child of this generation of the old Xu family. Xu Dalang is almost twenty years old and should have been a father long ago.
Mrs. Ma was very attentive, and everything in the workshop was very orderly. She could still produce as usual without her, so she told Old Man Xu and Xu Yinyin to go into the city to take care of Mr. Yu, and when she gave birth,
I still have to help take care of the children.

The maple leaves beside Chongniao Town were as red as fire, lighting up the entire Chongniao Town brightly red. The two guards standing guard at the gate of Jinpingwei Camp seemed to be glowing red.
Because there are Jinping guards guarding this place, the town seems particularly peaceful.
In such an atmosphere, it is difficult not to notice a few people walking in a hurry on the street.
Not long after, he was surrounded by a group of guards.
"Who are you? What are you doing in Chongniao Town?" asked the leading guard.
The few people responded in a giggling voice, but the guards couldn't understand what they were saying and couldn't help but look at each other.
One of the guards couldn't help but whisper to the leader: "These people look like the Dongba people I met a few months ago, and they speak with the same accent."
When Wu Ke's group was captured and taken back to Jinpingwei, he was standing guard at the door and had some impression of the Dongba people's appearance.
When the team leader heard this, he immediately asked someone to take them back and then reported them.
Layer by layer, we arrived at Yang Weiming.
Yang Weiming raised his eyebrows when he heard that the Dongba people appeared again.
These people, after letting them go back home last time, dare to come this time? I don’t know what they are doing.
The people below invited the person who spoke Dongba language from last time. As soon as Yang Weiming arrived, he began to ask questions.
"Ask them what they are here for?"
When the man translated the question, he saw that the Dongba man was very excited, gesturing and pointing at Yang Weiming, and he didn't know what to say.
Then I heard the man come back and say, "Sir, he said they came out specifically to find you."
"Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Yang Weiming was curious.
"The people in their tribe got a strange disease again. Last time it was young men, and this time it was almost all men. They were the only ones who didn't get this strange disease. They came out this time because they wanted to
Please help me find a doctor with superb medical skills to go back to the tribe with them to treat their illnesses."
Yang Weiming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. What kind of strange disease is this? He got it one after another. It wasn't the end of it last time, but it started again this time.
Although the Dongba people did not pay taxes to Dayan, they were still the people in Dayan, that is, the emperor's subjects, and could not be ignored.
What's more, Wolong Mountain is not far away. He doesn't know what kind of strange disease it is. It's so serious. He needs to figure it out.
But who to look for?
I heard that when the Dongba people got sick before, they went out and asked a doctor to see them, but it didn't work.
While Yang Weiming asked for the doctor who had previously treated the Dongba people, he was thinking about which of the doctors from major medical clinics in Fucheng was better at treating difficult and complicated diseases.
