Chapter 207: The family has a lot of money, and the ones with fur don’t count
Before Cheng Xue could send someone to pick up Piggy from Wei’s house, Wei Shengli’s wife came home with red eyes.
She complained about her husband full of complaints, but she was angry. All thirteen pigs and lambs froze to death, which would make everyone angry.
"...I asked him to tear down the shed a long time ago. I must say I'm not in a hurry. When I saw it this morning, it was all dead. I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I...well, I'll leave it to my sister-in-law until next spring." p>
Tears fell down as she spoke. It was obvious that she had lost a lot and was distressed. Otherwise, with her good-natured nature, she would not have come home to talk about this.
As the saying goes, "If a family has a lot of money, it doesn't count what they have." This is true. If a natural disaster strikes, all your income will be wiped out.
"Don't worry, Shengli. If you die, sell them at the dead price. I want all thirteen full-moon pigs. Just give them to me at the normal price."
"Others, other things, I came here to talk to my sister-in-law, not to let her..."
"It's okay. We have to eat pork at home anyway. Let Shengli find someone to take care of all the pigs and lambs and cut them up."
Wei Shengli's daughter-in-law's tears fell "bah...bah...", she lowered her head in shame and said:
"Let me tell my sister-in-law the truth. I thought about asking her to buy a few, but I didn't expect that she would buy them all. I...I..."
After saying "I" for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said firmly with his eyes:
"Sister-in-law, just give me 10 taels of silver for thirteen pigs. In the future, if your family buys pigs and lambs, I won't pay for the tofu dregs in the first half year. I will do what I say."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Cheng Xue nodded without refuting.
She is not the Holy Mother. The reason why she is so arrogant is mainly because she understands that Wei Shengli’s wife is not someone who takes advantage of her. What’s more, a normal purchase of pork costs more than 100 yuan per pound. A full-moon pig weighs almost 20 pounds, and she did not die of illness or freezing.
Pigs and lambs are not taboo.
After careful calculation, she still took advantage.
Wei Shengli was very fast and delivered thirteen dismembered pigs and lambs that afternoon, along with two plates of tofu.
"Sister-in-law, don't refuse, accept them all. I'll give you two plates of tofu for helping me so much. To be honest, sister-in-law, if these thirteen little ancestors don't handle it clearly, my wife will have to go back to her parents' home."
"Pfft——" Cheng Xue couldn't help laughing and handed him the money she had prepared.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you. From now on, just do whatever your wife says and don't cause any trouble again."
Wei Shengli nodded hastily, "I don't dare anymore."
After sending the people away, Cheng Xue and Yu Niang cleaned up the pork together. They cut it into pieces and treated it as it should. The Wei family had already helped to deal with the thirteen pigs in the water, but Yu Niang was worried and washed them again with plant ash.
Once again.
Today’s dinner is very sumptuous, including fried liver tips, stir-fried kidneys, mixed pork lungs, and spicy stir-fried pig hearts.
When Li Yue came back and saw a table of meat, he wondered:
"Mom, can't we survive?"
I know that my mother pays attention to food, but she never wastes money. What's wrong today?
Cheng Xue smiled and recounted what happened today, as well as the conditions promised by the Wei family.
"...That's it. The tofu has been cut and frozen. When the shipment is finished, ask Li Zhong to send two pigs and frozen tofu to your uncle and grandpa's house. You don't need to give them as a new year's gift this year. Your cousin will also send them.
One end. Let’s keep the rest for ourselves.”
To be honest, buying thirteen full-moon pigs for ten taels of silver was very cheap. But when he thought of the ten taels of silver spent, Li Yue felt heartbroken.
"By the way, mother, the goods will be shipped the day after tomorrow, will you go?"
"Go, take a look and see what's going on."
Li Yue nodded and put a piece of pork heart into the rice. Li Tian and Li Huai's mouths were full of oil. Both siblings like to eat pork liver, and Cheng Xue often gave it to them.
"Mom, haven't you received a letter from my father yet?"
Facing Li Yue's expectant eyes, Cheng Xue shook her head.
I've been gone for quite some time, so I should have received a letter, but so far, I haven't received one.
"It's not with me. It may have been written on the road, or it may have been lost in the mail."
"Oh, it should be on the way." After Li Yue finished speaking, he continued to cook rice...
……
The next day, Cheng Xue and Yu Niang were eating pig heads and trotters at home, and pulled out a lot of pig head meat. Fortunately, it was cold, so it wouldn't go bad no matter how you eat it.
The processing fee for pine nuts and hazelnuts is the same, three cents per pound.
Cheng Xue came over with Li Yue after breakfast. The county manager Chen brought people to inspect the goods, weigh them, record them, and load them...
Although it is orderly, most of them are managed by Chen. The first time both parties paid attention to it and many people came. Next time there will not be so many people.
We still have to recruit a few men, otherwise we won’t be able to do the physical work at all, it’s too strenuous.
Li Zhong came over while loading the truck and said:
"Master, go wait inside, it's too cold outside."
Cheng Xue didn't dare to say "hmm" and entered the room. It was too cold.
Li Yue and Bai Shao were both in the room, one setting the abacus and the other binding paper accounts.
Soon, Bai Shao came over with three bound books, curtsied and said:
"Madam, please accept it."
This is the "Thousand Character Essay" that Li Yue was punished to copy last time. I picked up a book and opened it. I have to say that Li Yue's handwriting has improved. It's beautiful in regular script and makes me feel happy just looking at it.
Cheng Xue decided not to give it to the school, so Dong Shuanzi, Guo Kuozi, and Li Wanming were added. The three children were all in enlightenment, which was just right.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Zhong brought Manager Chen in.
The first delivery was 300 jins of pine nuts and 500 jins of hazelnuts.
Manager Chen looked at the total and shook his head dissatisfied.
"Mrs. Li, it's not enough to make such a small amount in half a month. We have to add more. The dry goods refer to making money before the end of the year. We must pay more for pine nuts and hazelnuts."
"Manager Chen, don't be anxious. This is just the beginning, and everyone is not familiar with it. Now it has been going smoothly for about half a month, and we can ship more next time."
Seeing that she was not angry, Manager Chen handed her over and said:
"In that case, it's Mrs. Li's hard work. I'll send someone to pull the goods in five days. The minimum is 500 kilograms of pine nuts, and this number of hazelnuts will be fine."
One thousand pounds in five days?
Not only Cheng Xue was shocked, Li Yue, Li Zhong, and Bai Shao were all dumbfounded.
Manager Chen didn't give in. He paid for it and just wanted the goods.
The capital is very familiar with the pine nuts and hazelnuts from Liaodong. Now you can peel them with your hands. They are all ordered in teahouses, troupes and other places, and the prices are high.
Seeing that Cheng Xue had no other attitude except shock, Li Zhong handed over and said:
"Don't worry, Manager Chen, we will definitely do it."
Even if you don’t do it, you have to try your best to do it. This is a long-term job that cannot be lost.
"In that case, I'll leave it to Manager Li. This is the settlement money. You can order it."
The processing fee for eight hundred catties is 2,400 wen, which equals two taels and four silver coins.
A closer look shows that the daily wage per person is eight cents, which also includes the wages for growing vegetables. There are fifteen people in total, and fifteen days is 1,800 cents. In addition to the five cents per day for firewood, the expenditure is
Nearly one or two nine cents of silver.
You can make money, you can make a lot of money.
Li Zhong saw Li Yue nodding and sent Manager Chen out with a smile.
He sent the person to the entrance of the village, and when he came back, he said with a troubled expression:
"Madam, the main road in our village is not very good. It may be inconvenient to drive in spring."
