Xie Yushu looked at her hands, just chopsticks!
"How long does it take to get these things out?"
"Half a month."
"Okay, then I'll pick it up in half a month. How much money?"
"Brother, what kind of money are you talking about? Just come and get it when the time comes!"
"That's no good! It's time-consuming and expensive, and the sister-in-law and the children also have to wear clothes and eat, right?"
"this",
Li Daniu looked back at his wife and children. Although he was not hungry these years, his life was not rich. He was stupid, could not speak, had a stubborn temper, and would not listen to the customers, so business was indeed not good. Living hand to mouth.
It is true that a lot of carbon is used to beat this batch of things, and the meteorite iron is extremely hard, and lard is needed to lick the fire, so he said
"Then my sister-in-law can only give me two taels of silver!"
Although Xie Yushu didn't know how much charcoal was burned in blacksmithing, she had heard that sometimes the charcoal fire could not reach the heat and had to be refueled. Two taels of silver would not be enough, not to mention that there was still half a month of work left!
Furthermore, in addition to these costs, the craftsmanship fee for a good craftsman is not low!
Li Daniu said this because he just wanted to take care of his former brothers, but seeing that they were not living well and soon had three children, Xie Yushu couldn't take advantage of him, so she gave him twenty taels of silver.
When Li Daniu saw this, he glared and quickly declined.
"Brothers and sisters, what are you doing, how can you use these! If you give me this, you're not slapping me in the face!"
Besides, you just suffered a disaster and it was easy to go into the mountains to get something and sell it for money, but you can't make it like this! "
With that said, he returned the money.
Seeing this, Xie Yushu had no choice but to take a step back.
"Then I'll leave you a capital, and I'll get back ten taels. Brother Li, you can't give up these ten taels, and don't tell me about the capital of two taels of silver. No matter how ignorant I am, I know that two taels of silver will definitely not be enough. , if you don’t take it, I won’t fight that thing!
Big deal, your brother's leg is dead! "
"You! Even if two taels are not enough, three or four taels are enough. How can you use these!"
"Brother Li, this work lasts for half a month. My sister-in-law and the children don't have food or water! Even if Xiao Yi comes, I can't rely on you like this! If I really give you a three-two-four-two, Xiao Yi can't let it go Me! Maybe you can divorce me when you go back! Stop making things difficult for me!"
Xie Yushu couldn't explain it to this honest-minded old man, so Xie Yushu simply blamed Xiao Yi, and given his skill, ten taels of silver was really not much!
After hearing this, Li Daniu really thought that his brother was telling the truth at home! Fearing that Xie Yushu would really be divorced, it would be a sin, so she reluctantly accepted the money.
After formally speaking, Xie Yushu did not dare to delay any longer, so she said goodbye to Li Daniu and his wife and walked back.
On the way, I bought some pastries and candy balls for Xiao Haitang and Xiao Jinyu, and bought ten pounds of eggs. I and Qu Xiaodie each chose two pieces of the most popular muslin cloth, and went directly to the dock.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy other fabrics, it’s just that in this world, ordinary people can only wear cotton and linen. Merchants, officials, landlords, etc. can wear damask, Luo, and yarn, and officials can only wear damask, silk, and ice silk. Yes, and it’s true yellow and true purple, only the royal family can wear it!
Speaking of which, even the tiger and wolf skins at home cannot be used by her according to regulations!
Because ordinary people can only wear dog skins, sheep skins and rabbit skins, officials can wear wolf skins, fox skins, tiger skins, bear skins, and crane cloaks. Only officials of third rank or above can wear them.
The evil feudal society divides people into different grades everywhere!
If you want to be able to dress freely, you still need to work hard!
However, Xie Yushu is not worried about whether she can wear silk and satin now. Now that she is a mountain village woman, it is not convenient to wear silk and satin. Fortunately, cotton is also divided into three, six or nine grades, and she and Qu Xiaodie both choose the highest quality. The first-class cotton has beautiful colors, fine and thin textures, is comfortable to wear and absorbs sweat, and clothes made of fine cotton are no worse than silk and satin, it all depends on the design!
Produced by Xie Yushu, it must be a high-quality product!
As for Xie Yushu's thousand-year-old ginseng and snake gallbladder, she plans to take them out next time, so as not to waste her wealth until her next visit. It just so happens that the hairpin has been tied. When the time comes, I can sell the money and put it into the hairpin directly. How nice it would be to quietly become a little rich woman!
When Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie arrived at the pier, others had already boarded the boat. They also hurriedly ran onto the boat, and the group hurried back happily.
When they came back, they all had money and paid for their own boat. Xie Tianqi and Liu Xiaodong rented an extra boat so that others could relax and it would be more convenient for them.
Before they got home, there were only Xie Baotian, Xie Baoshu, Xie Tianqi, Liu Xiaodong, and Qu Xiaodie in the boat. They were all her own people. About one hundred taels of silver, and gave Xie Baotian the twenty taels from selling medicinal materials, which happened to be added to the twenty taels of silver reward Xie Tianqi got, so that he could take this opportunity to buy a few more acres of land.
Several people agreed to conceal the one hundred taels of silver, but Xie Baotian was unwilling to take the twenty taels of silver.
"Xiao Yi has bad legs and no land at home. You'd better keep this money for yourself and buy a few more acres of land to live a better life!"
Xie Yushu said
"Do you think I can live a peaceful life if I buy land? How much land should I buy? As long as Xiao Yuanhang is still studying, the land will be cultivated for Xiao Yuanhang. I am too lazy to suffer that burden and make wedding clothes for others!
The confidence of rural people lies in land and people. If you use more land and live a better life, I can go back and enjoy the autumn breeze, right?
From now on, when Brother Xie Tianqi and Brother Tianming come to Tai'an Mansion as errands, the eldest brother Xie Tianlin will be left in the family. He will use the forty taels of silver to buy five acres of high-quality wasteland and open it up. When the time comes, it will be recorded in the eldest brother's name, and it will be regarded as the eldest brother's heart.
We are not worried about poverty but inequality. We have always had a good relationship with our brothers and sisters. It would be better not to have any quarrels because he stayed at home. "
The reason why I chose Xie Tianming instead of Xie Tianlin was because of the brotherly relationship between Xie Baotian and Xie Baoshu. Secondly, at this time, the eldest son usually takes care of the filial piety at home. Thirdly, and the most important point is that Xie Tianlin has an easy-going personality. Thanks to Baotian, he is kind, responsible, and even a little weak. He is really not suitable for going out to work.
Xie Baoshu saw that Xie Baotian was in trouble, but Xie Yushu really wanted to give. Then he persuaded
"Brother, girl Yushu has thought carefully. I think this arrangement is very good. Just accept it. Our family will be more confident if we support Yushu and the others. Besides, Tianming and Tianqi have errands, so we don't need them." Don't worry, Tianlin is an honest child. We don't feel at ease when we go out. Even if a child is not around, our mother also has to think about Tianlin's filial piety at home, and she also needs to be protected!
As for Yushu, tell the children at home that our family can live like this only because of Yushu's help. They will be able to take care of Yushu much more in the future. "
"Second uncle, you don't need to tell us that we have to protect my sister!"
Xie Tianqi also said.
After everyone tried to persuade him, Xie Baotian finally accepted the money.
