No matter in modern times or in ancient times, Xu Tianxin only spent money given by his own family, and he spent it with confidence. He never used money given by others for free.
In Xu Tianxin's view, this was different from Bai Muyan giving her money.
When Bai Muyan gave her a banknote, besides being curious about what it looked like, she put it away in her pocket without mercy.
That's because the two are in a cooperative relationship. In the future, they will share risks and profits, and there is no question of who is taking advantage of the other.
When doing business, we talk about business.
If she can't keep her face off when she talks about business and collects money, she's immature and her grandma will scold her.
But Xu Tianxin didn't expect that the things she really took advantage of happened to Huo Jiajun, now the Zhenbei Army, twice.
Once, Grandpa Jialai gave her a wild boar skin.
Good guy, just give her sixteen pieces of bloody wild boar skins to make warm clothes for her.
But what was given away was a thing after all, and she knew that it was hunted.
Besides, I will collaborate with Grandpa Jialai on soap in the future.
It's good to have connections. If you have connections, you don't have to worry about taking advantage of others.
For example, Xu Tianxin had already thought about the quality of the soap when she used wild boar skins. Use the current knowledge of yourself and the family members of the Fusion Live Broadcast Room to make the best use of everything and do your best.
As for the wholesale price, even though we haven’t discussed it in detail yet, Xu Tianxin has already made plans. She will definitely give the lowest price within the reasonable range of the price of bath beans on the market.
Even the reason why she added a prefix was to be within the reasonable price of bath beans on the market today, and it wasn't because she was unwilling to let the Zhenbei Army make more money.
But she felt that by doing so, both parties would be able to cooperate without any psychological burden.
If the price is too low and only the cost is charged, Grandpa Jialai may not order from her again. For the mutual benefit of both parties, there is no need to end up like that.
If both parties want to have a healthy long-term cooperation, only she can make money if she gives the lowest price. Grandpa Jialai will also earn the most if he gets the lowest price and sells it to other countries as a second-hand dealer.
Therefore, for Xu Tianxin, receiving sixteen wild boar skins from Grandpa Jia Lai for nothing was not a huge psychological burden for her, even though it was her first time taking advantage of an outsider.
But today's Lu Yan is different.
Lu Yan gave her real money and silver, just for free. He has not cooperated with her since, and he doesn't even know when and where the next meeting will be.
Xu Tianxin held one hundred and twenty taels in his hands and tried to catch up with Lu Yan to say something:
"General, next time you pass by here, would you like to stop in the village?"
I'm afraid that Lu Yan will say: I won't come, I won't come, and I will give you money if I come.
No, Xu Tianxin guessed the line wrong. If the conversation had to involve money, Lu Yan would only say, you little girl is too seductive and expensive.
In short, Xu Tianxin also prepared a heartfelt line.
That sentence is: "I will have money next time, really. Why do I still need to pay the cashier when we have agreed to entertain? Besides, the meal money given by the general is enough to open a business and open a shop, which is enough to come here a second time."
Unfortunately, these lines were stillborn.
Because one hundred and twenty taels of silver is too heavy for our mentality, but for others, we really don’t take it seriously.
Lu Yan didn't give Xu Tianxin a chance to stay.
Like a scumbag, she didn't take the initiative, refused, or promised whether she would come next time. She just spent one hundred and twenty taels, causing ripples in the hearts of her daughter's family, and then said, "Why don't you bring a Wu hook, female general?" With the domineering attitude of "Old American Fifty States", he beat his horse and left.
The two lines of "Eagle Sauce" were compiled by Xu Tianxin.
Xu Tianxin truly felt that if Sister Lu had been born in modern times, she would have been so arrogant that anyone would dare to do anything to her.
The worst case scenario is death?
Unlike her, no matter in modern times or here, she has to live without achievements. Even if she achieves some achievements one day, her momentum is not domineering.
You can tell by looking at her replies, they are long and verbose sentences. If you always want to explain in detail that you love taking care of other people's emotions, you will appear not to be domineering enough.
As a woman, Lu Yan has the kind of courage that permeates her bones and dares to look at the world without kneeling. She admires the strength of Lu Yan who is like little ants and still doesn't retreat quickly.
There is a saying that you want whatever you lack.
Last night, Xu Tianxin also specially observed the female general's sitting, standing and walking. Even snorting with her nose was regarded as an answer. She flashed her eyes and silently noted it down, but she couldn't learn it on her own.
At this time, the team had already left, but Xu Tianxin kept looking ahead.
The villagers finally saw it, and even Mrs. Xu discovered that Tian Xin'er was really reluctant to leave.
However, it's no wonder Tian Xin'er was reluctant to leave the female general. The villagers thought: If it were them, they would have sent him away for two miles and shouted for him to come back.
Because the women who were in charge of cooking had gathered together to calculate the details.
For example, they made dumplings this morning. Eight hundred dumplings used twenty kilograms of flour. They made twenty-four or five dumplings for the soldiers. Each soldier ate about fifty or sixty dumplings. That’s how many kilograms of white flour it was. Roughly six hundred pounds of flour.
Let’s price the flour at a high price, and then include the oil residue and chicken from the Xu family. We can ignore the vegetables and onions. The vegetables are bought by every family in the village. Okay, we’ll also include them. Then this morning’s pure meal Dumplings stuffed with white flour and meat, including the four hundred boiled eggs before leaving, could at most cover the cost of twenty taels of silver.
And why use eight hundred dumplings as an example?
This is not the richest family in the village, Liu Laozhu's family. This is the only way they make dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Liu Jingdong only makes so many dumplings because he has a big fork at home and is very good at eating. Who in other families would dare to be so wasteful.
Besides, the villagers don't know how to do math, so they just drag other people's fingers and toes, and several women work together to figure it out.
It would have been better to stew the fish and make two rice last night. Many soldiers gathered around to eat a pot of fish. A pot of fish only weighs six or seven kilograms plus a bunch of side dishes. One kilogram of rice can hold six or seven bowls of rice.
Even if the price of rice is much higher than that of flour, it still only costs 17 or 8 taels including all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
Okay, let’s calculate the cost of twenty taels.
This cost a total of forty taels, but how much did they throw away?
Okay, let's take a step back and treat it as if the Xu family is just running a restaurant and charging normal prices. The caravan can't charge that much. With Mrs. Xu's ability to dare to ask for a price, a team of 400 people with food and accommodation will only be charged 80 yuan. two. But how much did they leave behind?
The key is that sentence, all the villagers present heard it.
Even if he charged eighty taels of profit, that would still be an extra forty taels of silver. Forty taels of silver could bring back several daughters-in-law from the farm, but the general said lightly that he would make two clothes for Tian Xin'er.
That look like she deserves to spend her military pay, that look like pinching Tian Xin's face and coaxing her, oh my god, it was given to her by a female general. No words could express their shock.
If you go out and ask, you won't dare to make it up like this in a storybook. At most, you can make him a male general. That's just for our benefit.
The envy of the women in the village was exactly what the old lady was thinking.
Old lady: Will something more evil happen?
When she worked as a maid for Wang Yuan's family in the county, Wang Yuan's father, who was sixty years old at the time, paid for a good-looking girl who was fifteen years old and was given only eighty taels of silver.
So if this was not a female general, but a man throwing money at her great-granddaughter, then she would definitely be suspicious: It's over, it's over, she's going to be forced to be a concubine. Why should people give you money for free if you don't want to do something? She was sixty-seven years old, and she had never heard of such a good thing as money falling from the sky.
But now, things happened right in front of her, to her great-granddaughter.
Look, her great-granddaughter finally turned around and looked at everyone. It was okay if she didn't turn around. When she turned back, a heavy fifty-tael silver ingot was blinding her eyes on one side of her two little hands, and there was a pendant under her arm. , there should be twenty taels of broken silver inside.
The old lady and the villagers all looked at Xu Tianxin: How exciting.
Xu Tianxin looked back at everyone: "..."
The saddest thing is that the villagers live like this
At this old age, it was the first time I saw what Yuanbao was.
No one dared to think about this huge sum of money. They didn't want to live. What if they came back on horseback and asked why they didn't buy clothes?
Everyone will just follow behind and say, Tian Xin'er, please buy more clothes quickly, don't cause trouble to everyone, it will be easy for the general to misunderstand. But isn't it enough to just look at the silver ingot?
Isn't that right? Even Liu Laozhu was curious and stepped forward to take a closer look.
It's not like Liu Laozhu has never seen fifty taels of official silver. After all, before Mrs. Xu got serious, Liu Laozhu was the richest person in the village.
Besides, he is also responsible for collecting taxes and grain, and goes to the county government every year. How can he not see the government silver treasure at home?
But he had never seen military pay.
Liu Laozhu dared to say that even Wang Lizheng, a short-lived ghost, had never seen a serious military salary. Otherwise, man, he looks up to the sky and smiles forever, but he still needs to live a long life to have the opportunity to see more.
"Grandpa Liu, can you stand up the ingot and take a closer look?"
At this time, the military pay and silver treasure was crooked in Xu Tianxin's hand.
When Xu Tianxin heard this, he felt it was too exaggerated, "What's wrong with that? Just hold it in your hand and look at it carefully."
Come on, Grandpa Li Zheng and Grandpa Guan, we gather in two groups and watch slowly.
Although she didn't have time to look carefully, she could just take a look.
Grandma happened to wink and let the family take a look.
When Liu Laozhu placed the ingot squarely in his hand, Xu Tianxin paused.
Because the background music in the live broadcast room suddenly played: "Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho, Huojiquan's moves are flexible..."
The military pay silver ingot is about four centimeters in diameter. The silver ingot has thin wings. On the front is the word "Huo" written horizontally, on the upper side of the back is "passage", and below is a superimposed monogram.
This is the exclusive Huo family military salary.
During the heated discussion among the villagers, Xu Tianxin thought to himself: I wonder if there is tax evasion. If the Huo family's military uniforms are poor to avoid being noticed, part of the military salary money collected by Lu Yan in the future will be marked Zhenbei.
Having great achievements, being too rich, and being self-respecting in stationing troops are all things that will arouse the emperor's suspicion.
After Xu Tianxin gave her family a live broadcast of what Yinbao looked like, she dragged Mrs. Xu aside and waved to her aunt and three uncles.
The family gathered together to discuss things in low voices, but the old lady did not notice this scene.
Because they were staring with wide eyes, guarding the two silver ingots as they were passed around, so as not to be lost. I asked her to tell me that I shouldn’t be touched even if I touch her. What should I do if my silver wings are too thin? Why is my child so generous?
If the general hadn't avoided giving the money in front of everyone, we shouldn't have told others about the money.
As soon as the old lady complained about her great-granddaughter's generosity, the Xu family continued to perform for her. She was not the most generous, only more generous.
Mrs. Xu said that the villagers still had a lot of food collected, and the bags were piled up in the new house. They were busy very late last night. Some people were very hard-working and got up in the middle of the night to make dumplings before eating.
Whether it’s dumplings or fish, it’s always for others to eat.
Mrs. Xu announced: In order to thank her father and fellow villagers, her Xu family did not dare to say that she would give fifty dumplings to each household in the village as a treat. The children don't listen to the general's words, and they have to treat guests even if they don't make enough clothes.
There are nearly six thousand dumplings. When the village women heard this, they couldn't help but calculate the cost in their hearts. The old lady was confused.
Xu Tianxin stepped forward, smiled and bowed to everyone before saying, "Thanks to my grandparents, uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, I have the general and his entourage to entertain me."
What Xu Tianxin thinks is that without everyone's concerted efforts, her family alone would not be able to achieve this level even with grain, oil, rice and noodles.
What's more, although she owed General Lu Yan a favor, she did have a lot of money. For ordinary bankers, it can be said that they have never seen so much money in their entire lives. Due to emotions and reasons, the Xu family deserves to treat them if they get benefits.
But the villagers didn't think so.
Why should the Xu family treat everyone to eat dumplings for free? It’s normal not to give them. Like the woman who cooked yesterday, and the strong man who washed the horse, they themselves are Xu Jiahua
Many of the strong men who were hired to work were those who followed Xu Laoer up the mountain to cut down trees and do carpentry work, and some of them built the bathhouses of the Xu family and the Liu family.
Another thing is that Xu Jiatianxin is familiar with such a big general, and as villagers, they will also borrow money from him.
Why did those gang of government servants and second-rate people in the town run away? Isn't that just because you were scared away? If you don't have a background, try again.
The villagers didn't have much foresight, but no one was a fool.
Even if it is the most arrogant family in the village, you can criticize the Xu family and say, let’s just say that the Xu family has so much stored grain and so much leftover lard cooking oil residue that they can afford to entertain four hundred people in no hurry. The team, but in terms of the villagers, they can't say a word about the Xu family, which is very interesting.
In short, nearly 6,000 dumplings and several taels of silver were spent on them. It was embarrassing. Tian Xin bowed and thanked everyone again. It was heart-warming. The next time something like this happens, the villagers felt There is only one thought, and that is to work harder.
"Don't buy pure white noodles!"
As soon as the first person dared to speak, the villagers suddenly laughed and shouted: .net
"Yes, people in my village still eat bread with white flour, just to show off their dignity when entertaining distinguished guests.
Convenor, do we know that you have a lot of elm bark noodles? Use that and cornmeal, and we will eat dumplings as a child. "
"Don't wrap too much oil residue. There are so many dried cabbage, radish, sauerkraut and cabbage brought by each house. How can you divide them back among everyone? I can't tell the difference. Why don't you wrap more vegetable stuffing?"
I don’t know which young man shouted from behind, it’s not good to eat too much oil, the skewers will be thin. However, he had one request. He hoped that Aunt Xu would make the stuffing herself, because only after eating Aunt Xu's cooking did he know what decent food was. His mother's cooking was simply annoying.
The young man's wife said, "Where's the broom? I think you just deserve a beating."
Mrs. Xu smiled and agreed, these are the villagers, no matter how they live their lives, as long as they can make money and have a good meal, this is a spiritually satisfying life, and it doesn't matter if they are tired.
So they might as well just wait a little longer today, and wait until everyone has finished collecting and eating the dumplings.
"Old sisters from the dumpling-making team."
"arrive."
"Open the bag!"
Following Mrs. Xu's words, dozens of rolling pins started rolling like they did in the early morning. The kitchen knife was chopping the stuffing.
But what is a little different is that I didn't dare to talk much this morning for fear of disturbing the rest of the soldiers, but now everyone is gathering together as enthusiastically as the Chinese New Year.
Mrs. Xu specifically told her not to care whether it tasted good or bad, whether it was whole grains or white flour, but she had to send fifty dumplings to the Bai family and his son as a celebration. I was working very late yesterday, so I should have gone and told the generals that they were leaving. Another thing she heard was that her granddaughter was going to do business with Bai Xiucai again, and that she was sending someone to pull back the custom-made sewer pipe today, so the dumplings could be delivered along the way.
While the women were laughing and making dumplings, the strong men were fermenting horse manure in the backyard.
The faces of the old men were so wrinkled with smiles that they could kill mosquitoes.
Everyone sincerely praised: "This is such incredible wealth!"
From now on, if Erdaohe wants to pretend to be poor, it will be difficult for them to pretend to be poor.
Who can be so rich? There is so much horse manure that it is splashed on the wall.
Liu Laozhu was commanding, also to beat off old Mrs. Xu. He was waving his hands and shouting: "When you turn around to hang on the wall, I will give you a shape of Aunt Xu's house. Use horse dung to make out the word "Xu family." Such a businessman comes He doesn't dare to renege on his debt, he has to think carefully."
After Lu Yan left, the subsequent effects continued.
Zhao Dashan drove here with his wife.
Zhao Dashan looked at Mrs. Xu with red eyes.
"...What happened?
Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law hugged Mrs. Xu, crying and laughing: "Auntie, I will lend you Tian Xin'er's light to send her to jail. Wangcai's father will be promoted."
The villagers exclaimed and were shocked when they heard this.
Then he was as ecstatic as Liu Laozhu.
Mrs. Xu was a little confused. Her granddaughter didn't reveal anything at all.
"Tian Xin'er, what did you say to General Zuo?"
Xu Tianxin said that she really didn't say anything, only a few sentences.
