Whose farming family has the male protagonist giving three piglets as a gift at the beginning?

But all this is thanks to his cousin. Without her, their family might still be the same as before.

Although he is neither full nor hungry, it is all the work of several men in the family.

Every year during the off-season, a few of the family's laborers go out for long distances. If you are lucky, you can make some money. If you are unlucky, you may work for two days and have one day off. You don't make much money, and you have to save every day. Every time I go home during the Chinese New Year, I feel extremely thin.

Now that we have these livelihoods, our family members no longer have to go out to do hard work, and the work is not so tiring, so it is relatively easy.

His cousin had helped his family so much, and he thought that if anyone dared to bully her in the future, he would fight that person to the death.

So since that incident, he would carry a woodcutter with him every time he went out. It was stuck on his waistband and no one else could see it when his coat was down.

Thinking of those rotten people, he thought of ice powder again. He had been following Su Ziling for several days, and he had an estimate in his mind of how much income he would make every day.

Now the bacteria are gone, the tea leaves are gone, tofu cannot be made, and vermicelli is made slowly. The income from setting up a stall in the col with duck eggs has been reduced by more than half, and there are so many hired people at home. He frowns. Wrinkled.

"Cousin, is that ice powder not for sale?" He originally wanted to ask them what their plans were, but who knew that he was a clumsy person, and the atmosphere in the kitchen dropped as soon as he opened his mouth.

He scratched his head, with a look of confusion on his face. He also knew that his aunt and the others were not willing to let Su Ziling go to the county, but he seemed to have asked the wrong question...

He quickly added, "What I mean is that I know how to make ice powder, or I can go there. I see that you have collected so much ice powder, and you definitely can't sell much from Shan'ao alone."

After his words fell, the kitchen fell silent. Mr. Su drank tea without saying a word. Father Su's expression was not good and his face was gloomy.

Su's mother and the others were also worried, and Su A'nai was more direct, "If you can't sell it, then you can't sell it. You can keep it and sell it slowly in the mountain col. After all, the most important thing is that you are a good person. As long as you have enough money."

Mother Su also nodded, "Yes, it's pretty good right now. We can sell whatever we can. We're pretty good now. We've paid off all our debts. We can raise cattle, pigs, and more." A few chickens.”

"In a while, when the sweet potatoes are ripe, we will start making vermicelli again. It doesn't matter if it takes a long time. It will be enough to earn a few taels a month. When the leaves of the body smell firewood will be distributed in March or April next year, let's go sell tofu. By that time, the tea leaves will also start to germinate, and in May and June the mushrooms will appear and we can make mushroom sauce. You see, if you think about it this way, we can live a good life without going to the county to sell ice powder."

Mother Su counted them carefully, her eyes gentle and full of yearning.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Li Zelan didn't say much more.

Su Ziling coughed, "What about that, grandpa, how about we rent a shop."

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's eyes fell on her. She pursed her lips and continued: "That's what I think. There are still so many ice powder seeds this year, and this is the best season to sell them." It’s been two months, and we won’t be able to sell it when the weather gets cooler.”

"I know that we are harvesting ice powder seeds this year, and next year there will definitely be more people sending them over to sell. I'm thinking that we can rent a shop and sell ice powder, tofu, pea jelly, cold noodles, cold shrimps, etc. in the summer. Yes, in winter we will sell some hot food, such as hot pot, sweet potato noodles and so on."

"I know you are worried about my safety. This is what I think. Let's go to the escort agency and hire two people who are good at martial arts, preferably a man and a woman. This way they can help and protect the people in the store."

After hearing what she said, everyone looked at each other and felt a little shaken. Only Su A'nai grasped the key point.

"You mean you won't go to the store?"

After hearing Su A'nai's words, everyone was stunned for a moment. They carefully recalled what Su Ziling said, and then turned to look at her.

Su Ziling shook her head first, then nodded, "Go, I will definitely go there in the early stage. When the situation becomes more stable, I will find a master to go with him. When he learns how to do it, I won't have to stay in the shop every day. Just go and have a look.”

Su A'nai nodded, "I think it's feasible, what do you think?" She looked at Mr. Su in the second half of the sentence.

Mr. Su sighed and raised his eyes to look at her, "That's okay. When we find a time, let's go to the escort agency to hire someone. After hiring someone, we can choose a store."

"What's the rent for this shop?"

Su Ziling shook her head, "I haven't asked about it yet. I'll ask about it another day."

Lu Yan spoke at this time, "I know a thing or two about the prices of shops. If you want to rent it, it depends on the location. The more remote ones may be three to a few taels, and the ones in better locations start at ten taels, probably between ten and fifteen taels." between."

As soon as he finished speaking, the kitchen was filled with the sound of breathing.

"One, one month?" Li Zelan stretched out a finger tremblingly.

Seeing Lu Yan nodding, the corner of his mouth twitched. Just now, he was complacent about the fact that their family had almost fifty taels of income a month. But now he heard, well, renting a shop costs more than ten taels of silver a month.

"This is too expensive!" Mother Su frowned, "Don't even earn back the rent by then!"

The rent for a month is more than ten taels, and two guards must be hired. The things sold also require costs. After all these miscellaneous calculations, it is not an exaggeration to say that the rent cannot be earned.

"Auntie, you don't trust my cousin too much. With her skills, if she opens a store, customers will probably queue up every day." Li Zelan has seen Su Ziling's ability, and may be a little bit in the early stage. It’s difficult, but he won’t believe it if he can’t earn back the rent.

"What about buying a shop? How much money will it cost?" Su Ziling looked at Lu Yan.

She calculated that it would cost ten taels a month, and it would cost one hundred and twenty taels a year, so she might as well buy one.

"The cheapest one costs sixty or seventy taels. It may be very small and the location is not very good." Lu Yan thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of one do you probably need?"

Su Ziling lowered her eyes. Whether they were selling ice powder or cold shrimps, they all needed to be iced with a well, so they must bring a well.

If she didn’t bring a well, she would have to pay for water. A load of water costs almost two cents. She would definitely need water to cook food. If she uses three to five loads a day, the water alone would cost more than ten cents. So, Might as well buy one with a water well all at once.

There was also firewood. Firewood was more expensive in the city, costing three cents per bundle, but this was okay. She could bring it from home.

When you enter the county, you have to spend money everywhere, so naturally you can save money if you can.
