273. It would be best to hire a cook from outside.
When Shen Chuliu was walking around and thinking about something, Old Mrs. Shui had already finished her breakfast. She took a handkerchief and gently wiped her greasy mouth. Then Old Mrs. Shui said earnestly, "Li Fang, let's The family only has these three hundred taels of silver."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Shui took out three silver notes, picked out two with her fingers and handed them to Shui Cube and said, "Here are two hundred taels of silver. For the time being, you go and see if there are any suitable tea leaves. Come back first. Let's go first." Save some money." After all, I still have some capital, so even if I earn little by little, I shouldn't have to worry about my future life.
"Mom, this little money is not even enough to pay for transportation, let alone purchase goods." Water Cube looked at the two hundred taels of silver in his hand with a troubled expression.
When Shen Chuliu looked at the Water Cube and said this, he wanted to step on his face. One tael of silver would cost more than 300 yuan at today's price. Two hundred taels! Not two taels of silver! That's equivalent. It’s more than 60,000 RMB! This guy actually said that the transportation fee is not enough!
Is he going to visit the Bada Hutongs? Well, even a monthly subscription is not enough...
Old Mrs. Shui comes from a womanly family and has never been exposed to business matters at all, let alone the issue of how much money it costs to travel far away. But there is only a total of three hundred taels of silver at home. If she takes away all three hundred taels ,What will their family eat then?
"Just like this." Shen Chuliu couldn't stand it any longer, so he took the two hundred taels from Water Cube and stuffed it into Mrs. Shui's hand.
"This..." Old Mrs. Shui looked at Shen Chuliu, and then at the silver in her hand. Water Cube had just said that the money was not enough, why should she bring it over again? Old Mrs. Shui frowned, as if she was full of dissatisfaction. untie.
"Brother, you should know very well whether this money is enough." Shen Chuliu's smile was meaningful. "There are some places on the road that you shouldn't go to. Don't go. This money will naturally be enough." Go to brothels less and cuddle less. Girl, if you gamble a few times, you will get that money.
"I..." Water Cube originally wanted to explain, but then he remembered that he had said these things to Shen Erdan before. It was probably Shen Chuliu who heard about him from Shen Erdan. Because Water Cube naturally did not dare to say more, Just a little less, it's better than nothing.
"Well, mother, I'll set out tomorrow to buy some tea." Water Cube said, then he carefully stuffed the one hundred taels of silver notes into his clothes. I never thought how much money one hundred taels could have before. , now the entire Shui family only has three hundred taels, and Water Cube can't help but worry about his future.
"Ms. sir, you don't have to be sad. As long as this period of time has passed, the Shui family will be able to get back on their feet." Hui Niang patted the Water Cube gently to persuade.
Shen Chuliu pouted at the side. He was not sad because of anything at home. If he was sad, it was because he had less money and could not go out for romance or gambling. That's why he was sad.
"Mom, this is what we had for breakfast this morning, and what about lunch..." Hui Niang only drank a little bit of soup and water in the morning, and didn't move a chopstick for anything else. She was a dignified eldest lady, and later married Shui Cube, and she didn't suffer at all. I haven't eaten yet, but now I'm hungry.
Hui Niang was naturally even more worried about this. If possible, it would be best to hire a cook from outside.
