Chapter 209 How much money is there at home
Zhu Danian waved his hand quickly: "I'm used to living there, I don't need anyone to accompany me."
"When I am old and can't move, you can just send me food and bury me when I die."
Lan Qiuhua smiled and said, "From what you said, you are still young. If it were me, you would just listen to Rongshan and have someone to take care of you when you get here."
"I'm fifty-five this year and I won't live long, so I just want to spend the last few years living a comfortable life."
"I don't like to trouble others. I can move around now. I'll let you take care of whatever I do. Just take care of yourselves."
He pointed at the two big black dogs and said, "I still have them to keep me company. I'll take them for a walk at the foot of the mountain. I'm at ease."
"Okay, okay, stop talking about this and eat your food."
At the beginning, several people came to him and wanted to learn hunting from him.
At that time, I had the idea to find a good one so that when I was old and unable to move, he could bring me food and bury me after I died.
Several people went to inquire in detail, and finally chose Shen Rongshan, and the result did not disappoint him.
He must have suffered a lot during those three years away, but he still hasn't dared to ask what happened during those three years.
After dinner, Lan Qiuhua and Shen Suya helped wash the pots and dishes.
Ji Wenhe brought out a small clay pot: "Uncle Da Nian, these are the pickled cucumbers I made. They will be ready to eat in four days."
"After opening, remember to seal the package again, and don't use wet chopsticks to pick things up, as this will easily spoil them."
"I'll make some dried radish at home in a couple of days. I'll send you some when it's done."
"Okay, uncle has to thank you for always thinking of me." Zhu Danian took it with a smile.
“Don’t take it to heart, Uncle Da Nian. Come to me when you want to eat. I’ll make it again and let Rongshan take you back.”
"No need for him to send me off. It's not far. We can get there in a few steps."
Shen Rongshan wiped the table clean, moved it into the house, and came out: "Master, I will take you to the foot of the mountain."
He nodded: "Let's go, come back another day."
"Hey, Uncle Da Nian, take care."
Ji Wenhe turned and went into the kitchen to help wash the dishes.
Here, two people came to the foot of the mountain with two big black dogs.
Zhu Danian held the pottery jar and asked in a low voice: "How much money do you have?"
"I haven't asked." Shen Rongshan probably guessed what he was going to do, "Master, we have money to spend. We should be able to buy a donkey cart by the end of the year."
"I have a wheelbarrow now, which is easy to push, so there is no rush to buy one now."
"Go back and ask how much money you have. If you're short of a few taels, Master has it."
He had more than three taels of silver in his hand. It was painful to see them pushing the cart out to sell goods, but it was much easier with a donkey cart.
"Master, please take care of yourself. I can't visit you every day. If you don't want to cook, just come to my house and eat. Wen He won't say anything."
"She told me before that when we build a house, we will bring you over to live with us."
Zhu Danian patted his shoulder with relief: "Your words are enough. Go back. When you are free, Master will come again."
"Hey, Master, please slow down."
Two big black dogs wagged their tails at him, holding two bones in their mouths, and followed Zhu Danian straight out of the village.
When I turned around and walked up the mountain, I saw Lan Qiuhua and Shen Suya coming over.
"Aunt Lan, Xiaoya, you guys go back."
"Let's go back. It's getting dark. We need to go back and wash up. You should go back soon too."
"Yeah." Shen Rongshan nodded.
I came to the kitchen and looked at the person behind the stove: "Wen He, come here, I'll do it."
Ji Wenhe scooped a bowl of wood ash and said, "The oil pan needs to be washed several times with wood ash before it can be cleaned."
"I just wanted to pour some water in to boil it, and I saw there was still a layer of oil floating on it, so it wasn't cleaned."
"Give it to me, I'll wash it."
There is no detergent here, and wood ash is used to remove grease.
"Brother Shen, on the 9th, go to the town and buy some soapberries for washing pots and dishes."
There were two soapberries at home, one for her and the other for them to use for bathing.
"Okay." Shen Rongshan was washing the pot and asked, "Wen He, how much money is there at home?"
"Less than four ounces. What's the matter? Do you want to buy something?"
Ji Wenhe just remembered that he hadn't told him about how he made money today.
Standing by the stove with a smile on his face: "Do you know how much money I made today?"
He smiled and shook his head.
"Guess what."
"Five hundred coins?"
"Be bold and guess again."
Shen Rongshan turned his head and looked at her, thinking for a moment: "One or two?"
"Forty-nine cents to one ounce." Then he added, "Didn't I tell you that we don't make dolls at home?"
"Boss Yang makes little puppets, so we won't make any money if we make them, and we definitely won't be able to sell them."
"I didn't expect that when I went to see her today, she would actually be willing to give me 20%, a total of 387 coins."
Ji Wenhe clicked his tongue twice: "I didn't expect that the small puppet would sell better than the big one. I got more than 300 Wen for 20%."
It can be seen how much money the little puppet makes.
If I had known this earlier, I would have discussed with her the division of the dolls, but unfortunately I didn't know this earlier.
Shen Rongshan turned around and continued to wash the pot, praising: "Wen He is very good, but you have to be careful and don't let others know that it is your style."
"When those vendors can't poach people, they use many shady tactics that are hard to guard against."
"Well, I've talked to Boss Yang, and she won't let anyone know it was me."
"And I also told Shen Wanqing that the style was told to me by Boss Yang, and I was responsible for cutting it. The boss gave me some hard-earned money and brought it back for them to make."
"By the way, you just asked me how much money my family has and what you want to buy."
He never asked before, but now he asked, I guess he wanted to buy something.
Shen Rongshan took the bowl and scooped another bowl of wood ash from behind the stove: "Master just asked us how much money we have. He must want to lend us money to buy a donkey cart."
"It's still too early to buy a donkey cart. Let's buy two paddy fields first. Today is the last day of July."
Ji Wenhe counted on his fingers.
"There are still five months left in the year, and by the end of the year, we should be able to buy a donkey cart."
It’s hard to say that you will definitely buy it, because various things may happen in the process that require money.
Buy cotton, buy cloth, buy land...
"Let Uncle Da Nian keep his money and use it for himself. I don't like to borrow money from others."
"Yes, I talked to my master." He didn't have much money.
Shen Rongshan poured clean water into the pot, covered it with a lid, and went to the back of the stove to boil water.
"Wen He, let's send some of our dried beans to Master someday."
"He only has a small vegetable plot at home, but the vegetables he planted refused to grow and the harvest was poor."
"Okay, you can send it over someday, and when the winter melons are dried, send some more over."
"I want to dry all the winter melons in the field. Then we won't have to worry about having no vegetables to eat in winter."
Shen Rongshan nodded: "Go pick the winter melons on the 6th. Be careful when picking them, because there are cabbages planted in the field."
