Li Xiaoyin took the one tael of silver and waited until the afternoon of the next day when Gu Yan didn't come, so he and Li Yinzhu locked the door and went out from the other end of Academy Street to continue shopping.
"What kind of business are we looking for?" Li Yinzhu was still dazzled and asked casually.
"It can make money." Li Xiaonan looked at the shops on both sides of the street one by one.
"Don't we have a preserved egg shop at home?"
"Too little money." Li Xiaonan replied smoothly.
"Ah? How much copper coins do you want to earn?" Li Yinzhu was so surprised that he stopped watching the excitement and looked at Li Xiaonan.
"There are too few copper coins. I need silver. There are piles of silver." Li Xiaonan raised her hand and scratched it down to show that the pile was a big pile.
Li Yinzhu glanced sideways at Li Xiaonan, rolled his eyes, and continued to watch the fun.
"Ana, look at that restaurant. Everyone who goes in is wearing silk, and the shopkeeper is also wearing silk. This restaurant must be profitable." Li Yinzhu pointed to a flower-filled restaurant across the street.
"The cost is too much and the threshold is too high." Li Xiaonan shook her head.
"That drug store must be very profitable." Li Yinzhu pointed to a drug store in front.
"The drug store must be knowledgeable. Do you know the medicinal materials?" Li Xiaonan did not look at the drug store.
"It's true that all those who can recognize medicinal materials are gentlemen. What about that one?" Li Yinzhu pointed at the Yangjiao Lamp Shop, and was dazzled by the sight.
"The craft is difficult to learn, and there are too few horns." Li Xiaonan looked at it carefully and sighed.
"Where's that one?"
"It takes a long time to make something, it's too slow."
"That?"
"There are too few people using that thing."
……
Li Yinzhu pointed to most of the street, and Li Xiaonan shook her head one by one.
"You need to have less capital, no threshold, make more money, and make money quickly." Li Yinzhu summed up for Li Xiaonan with his fingers, "According to what the eldest sister said, you are dreaming in broad daylight."
"There must be such a business, but I haven't found it yet." Li Xiaonan replied casually, staring at a stall selling rice dumplings made with rice wine, and pinched the silver in her purse.
Oh, forget it, according to her experience, as long as a hundred-dollar bill is broken, it will be broken in the blink of an eye, and the same must be true for this silver coin.
This only one tael of silver is the capital for her to do big business and make a fortune, so she can't let it go away.
Li Xiaonan and Li Yinzhu walked to Youchu and quickly turned around and headed home.
Around the end of the Youmo period, Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu returned home. Li Yinzhu had already cooked the meal, and Li Xuedong washed his pen and went into the kitchen to eat.
Li Jinzhu took out three small eggs from his pocket and gave one to each of Li Yinzhu and the others. "Try the freshly made preserved eggs."
"Just three?" Li Xiaonan took one and asked casually.
"The eldest sister said one was enough, but Sister-in-law Yin forced three of them." Li Yuzhu patted Li Xiaonan on the head.
"Your second sister and I have tasted this thing. It's enough to have a fresh taste. It can also be eaten as food." Li Jinzhu sat down to eat.
"If you just want to taste the freshness and can't eat it as a meal or a dish, then who will we sell to after we have made so many preserved eggs?" Li Xiaonan replied smoothly while cracking open the preserved eggs.
Li Jinzhu glared at Li Xiaonan, Li Yinzhu chuckled, and Li Yuzhu also laughed.
Li Xuedong looked at his eldest sister and said seriously: "My grandma is right."
"Then the rich people still eat mutton every meal. Can we afford it? Hurry up and eat!" Li Jinzhu glared at Li Xuedong again.
"The Hong family is a wealthy family. Brother Hong said that he can eat chicken, fish, meat and eggs every day." Li Xuedong looked at Li Yinzhu and said.
Li Yinzhu heard what Li Xuedong said, looked at the freshly peeled preserved eggs, hesitated, broke the egg white and yolk, handed the egg yolk to Li Xiaonan, and the egg white to Li Xuedong, "You two eat it. I will definitely be able to eat it every day in the future."
"I can eat it every day in the future, and so can my brother." Li Xiaonan pushed Li Yinzhu's hand and put it in Li Yinzhu's mouth.
"Yeah! I can eat it now! Brother Hong asks me to eat with him every day. I had roast leg of lamb for lunch today. How about..." Li Xuedong handed the half-bitten preserved egg in front of Li Xiaonan.
, "Grandma, let's eat."
"Everyone eats his own, hurry up and eat." Li Jinzhu patted Li Yinzhu.
The five siblings had a good meal, Li Yinzhu cooked the pot, Li Xuedong continued to write and endorse, Li Jinzhu sat next to Li Xuedong, spinning thread by the light, Li Yuzhu quietly pulled Li Xiaonan, hid in the shadow of the tree, and stuffed it into Li Xiaonan's hand
Got a preserved egg.
"Eat it soon, the eldest sister doesn't know." Li Yuzhu leaned into Li Xiaonan's ear and smiled.
Li Xiaonan nodded repeatedly and watched Li Yuzhu go into the main room to weave. She took the preserved egg into the kitchen, peeled off the preserved egg and stuffed half of it into Li Yinzhu's mouth. "Shh! The second sister gave it to me. The eldest sister didn't
I know."
Li Yinzhu was rinsing the pot, and Li Xiaonan stuffed a piece of preserved egg into his mouth. He subconsciously stretched his head to look out, bit and swallowed it slowly, and smiled at Li Xiaonan in a suppressed voice: "Our preserved egg is so delicious!"
Li Xiaonan was about to speak when Li Wenliang's voice came from outside the courtyard door, "Is Xuedong at home?"
"Here, uncle in the lobby, please come in quickly." Li Jinzhu hurriedly responded and went out.
"I'll go listen!" Li Xiaonan confessed to Li Yinzhu, walked out in two and three steps, and followed the main room.
Li Wenliang first handed the mulberry paper bag in his hand to Li Xiaonan, "Your sister Aiye likes pine nut candies the most. She said that you guys also like them, so I bought a bag and took it to eat."
"Thank you, uncle!" Li Xiaonan thanked her, took the mulberry paper bag, put it on the table, picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. She stood next to Li Jinzhu and stood obediently.
Li Yuzhu made a bowl of tea and placed it next to Li Wenliang.
"This is the Hong family's betrothal gift list. Read it to your sister." Li Wenliang took out a slender folding book from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan took it, pulled it open, and said softly: "Ninety-nine taels of silver, two pairs of gold hairpins, two pairs of gold hairpins, two pairs of gold pendants, two pairs of gold bracelets..."
Li Xiaonan finished reading in one breath, closed the book, and looked at the dumbfounded Li Jinzhu.
This betrothal gift is too expensive.
"This betrothal gift is indeed a bit heavy." Li Wenliang said with a smile: "When Mr. Hong gave me the list of betrothal gifts, I was also shocked. Mr. Hong said that these betrothal gifts were used to add makeup to the silver beads.
We don’t need to prepare another dowry here, we can just send these betrothal gifts with us."
Li Wenliang paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "I took it back and told my father about it first. My father means that we accept the Hong family's intention, but we can't really have no dowry at all.
According to my father's wishes, he prepared a dowry for Yinzhu, which is similar to the betrothal gift, and it doesn't have much money."
"This betrothal gift has been converted into silver, how much is it?" Li Xiaonan looked at Li Wenliang and asked.
"I don't know the weight of the four-color gold jewelry. It's hard to say. Not counting gold jewelry, plus ninety-nine taels of silver, it's only four to five hundred taels." Li Wenliang replied with a smile.
"It's too much!" Li Jinzhu took a breath in fright, "Can you refuse this betrothal gift? We can't afford it..."
"We have to think about Yinzhu." Li Wenliang interrupted Li Jinzhu's words with a warm voice, "The Hong family is rich, so this betrothal gift is not small, but to the Hong family, it is really nothing. I asked, Hong Er
Grandma's dowry is said to be worth tens of thousands of silver. When an aunt of Hong Er got married, including the dowry fields, the Hong family gave away three to four thousand taels.
"Yinzhu's betrothal gift, plus what we prepared ourselves, is only about a thousand taels. Compared with other wives of the Hong family, it is almost the least. If Yinzhu doesn't even have this little dowry, I'm afraid Yinzhu will marry into
Life after the Hong family was difficult."
"Let us brothers and sisters discuss it, and we will reply to the Hong family tomorrow, do you think it's okay?" Li Jinzhu was silent for a moment, looked at Li Wenliang and discussed.
"This must be discussed carefully. This matter cannot be rushed. Then I will come over tomorrow night." Li Wenliang stood up and said with a smile.
