Zhou Zuorang said: "Third uncle, in the county town, it costs 1,200 taels to exchange copper plates for silver. Some silver with good quality requires 1,300 taels to exchange for one tael."
Qian Sanjiu also used to hang out in a casino. He understood it as soon as he heard it. He sighed and said: "I remember that a long time ago, copper plates were exchanged for silver in the county. Nine hundred coins could be exchanged. I didn't expect that copper coins would be exchanged now."
It’s so worthless.”
Uncle Qian reached out to touch the pole. Uncle Qian was excited when he saw it. He quickly jumped to the side and shouted: "Brother, brother, I know I'm wrong. I just said that, just said that."
Uncle Qian snorted coldly.
Uncle Qian was sweating and hid behind Man Bao. Unfortunately, he was too wide and Man Bao couldn't cover him. Uncle Qian gave Lao Zhou a flattering smile and said, "Brother-in-law, look..."
Old Zhoutou said: "You have to cut the silver. I do have copper coins here. Man Bao, please count out your first uncle's and second uncle's first."
Man Bao calculated for a long time and checked again before saying: "Second uncle's is 12,150 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 10 taels in silver, with a balance of 150 taels; uncle's is sixteen thousand."
Nine hundred coins, converted into silver, is fourteen taels, leaving a hundred coins."
Uncle Qian smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Third Uncle Qian couldn't help but feel sore, "Brother, your family has picked quite a lot of wheat seeds. If I had known, I would have asked my children and the others to come together."
Second Uncle Qian glanced at him and said, "Who told you not to have more sons? We both have three sons."
"Is that something I can give birth to if I want to?"
Old Zhoutou couldn't help but help his second uncle, "Third brother, didn't you say that if your son had too many children, you would have to spend money to find a wife? Why don't you have no children at all?"
Everyone obviously knew about this matter. Zhou Dalang and other juniors turned their heads and couldn't bear to look at it. Even Man Bao couldn't help but nodded. He even took Sanjiu Qian's hand and said, "Uncle San, it's not too late to realize it now. Look back."
Let your cousin be nice to your cousins-in-law and let them give you more grandchildren, the same thing, the same thing."
"At such a young age, do you know what it means to have a grandchild?"
"You know, my third sister-in-law and my fourth sister-in-law gave me two nephews."
Of course Third Uncle Qian knew, but it was just that the two children were in the spring rush when they were one month old, so they hadn't come over to see him yet. They originally planned to wait for the Dragon Boat Festival to come and have a look at the house and give him a basket of eggs.
Two days ago, Third Uncle Qian was still worried about the eggs at home. He felt that his eldest brother-in-law was so inconsiderate. How many eggs had he given away just because of the birth of a child in his family?
But now Uncle Qian's heart didn't hurt so much. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with this little baby Man Bao anymore and looked at his brother-in-law with a smile.
Old Zhoutou knew what he was doing, and he was not vague about it. He divided the money as soon as he took it out.
Finally, I took out a piece of silver, and the door opened with a bang. In fact, the noise was not very loud, but everyone was quiet and stopped talking, concentrating on looking at the silver, which made the noise seem particularly loud.
As a result, Lao Zhou's heart trembled, his hands trembled, and he subconsciously clenched the money tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
Others were also startled and looked back, only to realize that it was Qian and the others who were back.
Qian looked at them confused, "...Why are you guys gathering together? I heard at Dayuan's house that Mr. Bai has left. Dad, did you say bad things about me outside? How..."
Qian was only halfway through her words when she saw Yin Zi among the crowd and lost her voice for a moment.
Naturally, the people behind her also saw it. They had never seen wheat seeds being sold, so when they suddenly saw so much money, no one thought that the money belonged to their family.
Until Lao Zhoutou divided the money.
Second Uncle Qian got the best share, because what Mr. Bai brought was ten taels of silver, so just give him ten taels and then count out one hundred and fifty coins from the copper coins.
At Uncle Qian's place, Lao Zhoutou directly gave him an ingot of silver and a hundred Wen, and then took out another ingot to show his concern. He asked Uncle Qian and Third Uncle Qian, "Just cut it open?"
Uncle Qian nodded, but Third Uncle Qian shouted: "No, I know that it is more expensive to exchange this kind of silver ingot into loose silver, because loose silver is subject to wear and tear. Brother-in-law, you leave it to me and I will get it later."
Go to the county town to exchange it, and you can just give me another tael of retail money."
Old Zhoutou didn't listen to him and looked directly at Uncle Qian.
Uncle Qian nodded and said: "Don't listen to him, just cut it open. If it's too small, our two families can make up for it."
Uncle Qian couldn't help but shout: "Brother!"
Uncle Qian glanced at him and said: "Don't think I don't know. Last time you said you were going to the city to buy cloth, but you ended up wandering outside the gambling house. People in the village saw it. Let me tell you, you can't make money with this idea."
You can’t hold it either, let Dalang hold it.”
After that, he turned back to Qian Sanjiu's eldest son and said, "Put the money away later. Your father won't give it to you even if he asks, and he won't give it to your mother. When you get back, you brothers will discuss whether you should divide it equally or leave it in the public house."
Okay, if you save the little wheat you have now, you can still eat it until the summer harvest. If that doesn't work, just mix in some wheat bran."
Uncle Qian directly arranged the money for the third bedroom, "Don't worry about having a little money. Think about the children in your family. In a few years, they will start talking about getting married. Marry them better."
My daughter-in-law will have to pay more than five taels of silver. You have to prepare some dowry when you marry a daughter, right? The total is only more than seven taels of silver, how much can you two brothers have left per cent?"
The elder man from the third room nodded in agreement. Uncle Qian was so angry that his nose was about to smoke. As a result, his eyes met Uncle Qian's gaze. His fingers hurt, and he shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Uncle Qian said: "If your mother asks about it later, just tell me that I allocated the money."
The two brothers from the third room nodded.
Uncle Qian said to Lao Zhoutou: "Cut it."
Lao Zhoutou called Man Bao over to draw a line. Man Bao looked at the scissors they were holding and expressed doubt, "Dad, can these scissors cut silver?"
"You have to give it a try. If it doesn't work, just put it on the chopping board and chop it with a knife." Their family is not a rich family, so of course they won't buy scissors specially made for cutting silver.
Man Bao finally understood why the silver was being lost. She scratched her head and asked, "Don't we have silver nuggets at home? We sold ginger to the drugstore last year, and all the money we got back in settlement were silver nuggets, right?"
When uncle Qian and the two sons of the third uncle's family heard this, they quickly said: "Silver nuggets are good, silver nuggets are good. This way we don't have to cut them open again when we go back. When the scissors go down, the silver shavings fall off, and those are all
What about losses?"
Uncle Qian was so angry that he pinched his waist and shouted: "So I asked you to go into the city to exchange for silver bars. One ingot can be exchanged for ten taels of silver bars, not to mention you can get some more copper coins, do you know?"
