The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

Before dinner, Su Anton and a few others arrived home.

After arriving home, the Su family moved things silently and tacitly as usual, without any noise or disturbance.

After moving the things, everyone at home entered the main hall. Su An Dong distributed the things to everyone first. The happiest ones were the younger Silang Su Zhixuan and Su Miaomiao. For children, having delicious food is happiness.

Zhou Huilan gave each of her eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and youngest sister-in-law a candied haws. They were all a little embarrassed to accept it.

Zhao Yun said embarrassedly: "You are already grown up, and you still eat candied haws. Save them for the children!"

Zhou Huilan disapprovingly said: "What does eating have to do with age? I bought twenty of them! Eat them!" As she said that, she put the candied haws to Zhao Yun's mouth.

Zhao Yun looked at the candied haws that were brought to her mouth, and she ate one. It was indeed delicious, sour and sweet, and she hadn't eaten it for many years.

Zhou Huilan handed the candied haws to them. They looked at each other and took them with a smile.

People at that time ate less sweets because sugar was expensive, so most people loved sweets. Unlike modern people, who pay attention to sugar control, people here may have consumed less sugar, so the pleasure brought by sugar is stronger.

Because Su An Dong bought a lot of food, he added two dishes to the meal: one was pork ribs stewed with potatoes, and the other was braised fish.

After the family had dinner, Old Mrs. Su organized a family meeting for those at home.

Su Anton described in detail the experience of selling goods in the county and the money earned from the sales.

The price it was sold for was far beyond the expectations of the rest of the family.

Zhao Yun and Li Hongmei thought: The brother-in-law is really capable. Only the brother-in-law can sell it at such a good price.

Su An Dong continued, "I have already agreed with Ruyifang. I will deliver the remaining 50% of the goods from my home to the store tomorrow. I plan to bring some charcoal with me when I go there tomorrow, and ask if they want charcoal. After delivering the goods, I will go to other stores to see if anyone wants charcoal."

Mrs. Su was very confident in her son's work. She only occasionally gave some advice on these matters, and basically left it to Su Anton. She nodded and said, "Just do it as you see fit."

Su Anton expressed his thoughts and said, "Okay, then I'll see what I can do. I plan to sell the charcoal even if I can, but not so much, at most half. I think the price of charcoal will go up in the future." The weather is much colder than in previous years, so the price of charcoal is bound to go up.

Old Madam Su nodded in agreement and said, "Even if we sell them, we have to keep enough for the family."

"My eldest brother and his family have long ago put away all the things they need at home. Don't worry, mother. There are enough for us."

The Su family had made comprehensive preparations for the winter. They had built a kang, a fire wall, stored enough food, prepared winter clothing and quilts, and had enough firewood. It could be said that everything was ready, just waiting for the winter.

Seeing that Mrs. Su was still reluctant to talk about the profit sharing, Li Hongmei took the initiative to bring it up, saying, "Mother, it was Yuanyuan who came up with the idea of ​​raising rabbits, and it was Yuanyuan who raised the rabbits. It was also Yuanyuan's idea to keep the rabbit skins to make clothes, and most of the designs, whether it was clothes or accessories, were Yuanyuan's ideas. It was also the third brother who sold the goods, otherwise they wouldn't have sold at such a good price. Shouldn't the third brother's family get 50% of the profits from the rabbit business?"

Old Lady Su and Su An Dong had discussed this matter privately, and they did not intend to ask for a 100% profit. If the price was not very high, they planned to ask for 150 taels; if the price was high, they planned to ask for 150 taels. The price was really good, so they planned to ask for taels. The reason why they did not say it was because they thought that the other brothers of the Su family were not at home, and they planned to wait until they came back to talk about it.

Since the second sister-in-law had already brought it up, Su An Dong said, "I was thinking of waiting for my eldest brother and his family to come back before discussing this. I don't want the 150% profit this time. I just want my family to give me taels of silver. Although it was Yuan Yuan's idea, everyone in the family has put in a lot of effort and provided a lot of ideas for raising rabbits this time, so it's not easy for me to collect so much profit."

Zhao Yun disagreed: "Although we have contributed, the way to earn money was indeed the third house's idea. Since we have agreed before, we should split it 50%."

Li Hongmei also nodded in agreement.

"That's not the case. Sister-in-law made the most profit from making clothes, so she should get more."

Zhao Yun disagreed and said, "That's not what you said. How can they be the same? I just made the clothes, and most of the styles were Yuanyuan's ideas. And I made the clothes, but I didn't do any housework. They can't be compared."

Li Hongmei also expressed her thoughts: "Third brother, second sister-in-law, tell me what I think. Second sister-in-law has seen that you three rooms have many ideas, and I'm afraid you will have profitable businesses in the future. It's great that you think about your family and make money with us. Let's follow the rules, so that we can last long in the future. You three rooms won't suffer too much."

Li Hongmei can see clearly now that the third child's family is talented, and the third child is also good at studying, so he will have a better future. It's good enough for them to be able to follow in her footsteps, and people should be content.

Su An Dong was very pleased with the performance of the two sisters-in-law, which showed that they were sensible and not greedy. In this way, this family can go better in the future.

Su An Dong looked at his wife, and Zhou Huilan told them what they had discussed before: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's like this. This time we want 150 taels, no more. The reason why we don't ask for more is also for the children at home. The third child plans to supervise the children this winter and let them study hard. Next year, he wants the children to take the exam for Tongsheng. Studying is expensive, so let's save this money for the children at home to study in the future!"

Su An Dong continued his wife's words, "I plan to buy a set of good writing brushes, inkstones, and paper for each of my children. As you know, good things are expensive. I also want to spend money to buy them some exam papers from previous years. If they choose to study in the future, they will have more places to spend money. Now that our family has the conditions, I don't want to treat the children too badly. Let's keep the remaining money for the children's studies!"

Su Yuanyuan also said, "And my elder sister and second sister, you were reluctant to use paper when practicing calligraphy. Every time you practiced calligraphy, you were reluctant to put pen to paper. This time, you don't have to be reluctant to use paper anymore."

When Mrs. Su heard what Su Yuanyuan said, "Tomorrow your father will go to the county, ask him to buy more paper for you to practice calligraphy." She turned to her two granddaughters and said, "Don't be reluctant to use paper when you practice calligraphy in the future." She also said to her two daughters, "You should also follow my example in the future. I don't say that you have to practice your calligraphy very well, but it should be presentable."

They all nodded obediently, knowing in their hearts that this was for their own good.
