Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog
Chapter 17 Counting Money
By the way, isn’t this the expression that often appears on the faces of modern star-chasing girls?
She used to come across it often in short videos.
Could it be that he met his idol in person?
"···You···met Uncle Seven?"
He An: "You guessed it! This is the first time I have spoken to Uncle Seventh at such a close distance."
He danced with his hands as he spoke: "Uncle Qi, he talked to me for quite a while."
Su Yan could understand his happiness at running into his idol on the street, so she also laughed: "It seems like today is a really good day. Good things happened when I went out. What do you think, Uncle Qi?"
He An praised enthusiastically: "Seventh Uncle is very kind, he doesn't have the airs of an official at all."
He added: "If I can be as capable as Uncle Seven one day, my life will be worthwhile."
Su Yan said, "We are still young, and who can predict the future. We should make good money now, and when we have money, we can go out and have a look. It is impossible for our family to become an official without studying, but going out and having a look can also broaden our horizons."
"When I get older, I'll still have something to tell the younger generations."
He An laughed after hearing this: "That's right. I haven't read much and I haven't practiced martial arts, so it's impossible for me to enter the government. But I can really go out and have some fun in the future. To be honest, there are a lot of people in our clan who have been wandering around in the county town their whole lives. If we go around and have a look, we can be considered people who have seen the world."
He added, "When we have saved enough money in the future, we will send our son to school. Maybe he can pass the imperial examination and get a good degree, which will bring honor to our family."
Su Yan said: "... We haven't even started yet, it's a bit too far-fetched to think about this."
He An said with a playful smile: "Why is it far away?" He leaned close to Su Yan's ear and whispered: "Aren't we just walking side by side?"
Su Yan blushed and glared at him with a mixture of embarrassment and anger.
Is this still her innocent brother? Or are men born to flirt?
Simply.
He An was very happy even when he was given a cold stare, and he kept talking until he finished his meal.
The two of them went to the front yard to open the store door. When they sat in the store to rest, Su Yan remembered to ask about the old house: "What did grandparents say when you delivered the food at noon?"
He An said: "They are very happy, and they said it's rare that we still think of them when we have a meal."
Su Yan then asked: "What about the taste? Did you say how it tastes?"
He An raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up: "Grandpa and grandma both said that they had never eaten it so delicious before. You didn't see that grandpa has rarely eaten meat in recent years for health preservation. Today, when I brought the dishes to him, he didn't even stop eating with his chopsticks. Grandma even blamed him for eating too fast and she had nothing to eat."
Su Yan smiled and said, "As long as they like it, we'll make it and send it to them next time."
He An: "Okay." He looked at her and said, "Yan Yan, you are so nice."
Su Yan glanced at him and said, "Is it enough to just deliver a dish?"
He An saw that she didn't care and didn't say anything else.
How could it be just delivering a dish?
What’s more important is the intention.
It's not like he hasn't seen people eating alone behind others' backs.
Compared to that, Su Yan's behavior of taking the initiative to deliver it is many times better.
He is very satisfied.
After resting, Su Yan was still watching the store in the front yard, while He An went to the back yard to sort the goods.
The afternoon passed quickly. Su Yan entertained the last customer and closed the shop after seeing that there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
We didn't have pork with preserved vegetables for dinner. It was hot and we didn't have much appetite. So Su Yan made some cold noodles and a cucumber that had been chilled from the well and ate it.
The main reason is that there are more important things to do today. They haven't really counted how much money they have collected since the opening.
I was so busy during the day some time ago that I fell asleep immediately after dinner.
Except for the silver that Su Yan put away separately in a box, she put all the other copper coins into the box that came as a dowry and then locked it with a big lock.
Of course, He An sometimes also took money from here to pay his grandfather He and other clansmen, and he also took money from here to buy groceries and meals.
So what's left at the end may be the net profit after deducting the cost of meals in these two months.
Today I finally have some time to count and calculate.
Su Yan and He An happily took out all the copper coins from the big box and piled them on the table.
Not to mention, the copper coins were so piled up that they could barely fit on the table. Just looking at the amount was exciting enough.
The two of them happily took out the ropes they had prepared long ago and started stringing the copper coins.
When you count to one hundred, tie the rope together at both ends, put it aside, then pick up the next rope and continue counting.
The more Su Yan counted, the happier she became. She thought that she had finally experienced the joy of counting money until her hands cramped.
Although she didn't have hand cramps, she was happy.
But happy times are always short-lived. After making all the money, Su Yan still felt a little unsatisfied.
The two of them skewered 25 skewers in total, and there were 32 copper coins left on the table, which were not enough for one more string.
After thinking for a while, Su Yan took out the money box, took out three pieces of silver the size of a fingernail and put them on the table: "This is the money we have earned these days."
They were both very surprised: "It's nearly six taels."
As mentioned before, at that time, a country family could only save two or three taels of silver after working hard on the farm for a year.
Su Yan and He An were able to earn nearly six taels of net profit in two months, which was enough to allow them to live comfortably for more than half a year.
Although a careful calculation showed that some of the money came from Grandfather He and other members of the He family selling at low prices, the two of them bought food from the clansmen at high prices in the second month and basically made no money. They were basically operating a business that made a loss in order to gain publicity.
So at least five taels of silver were earned in the first month.
If we can follow the original idea in the future, we can store grain when it is cheap, and then sell the new grain to people in the county and the old grain to people in the village.
In this way, after the off-season, I can probably earn one or two taels of silver every month without the help of my family. I can probably earn more by the New Year or the beginning of next spring.
To be honest, if I can keep this business stable, regardless of how much I can expand it, I can still hopefully save enough to own a family business by slightly expanding the variety of food or selling some other things in the store.
The two men looked at each other, as if they had seen a scene of wealth rolling in in the future, and they smiled at each other.
After sorting out the accounts and knowing how much money their family had earned, the two were really happy.
The next day, Su Yan went to cut some meat again and made a dish of spicy diced chicken.
Su Yan is very particular about it. The diced chicken has to be fried in oil first so that it will have flavor when fried.
After it came out of the pot, the spicy and numbing aroma of the meat wafted through the air, making the neighbors mutter that the young people didn’t know how to live, and how could they eat meat every day.
However, Su Yan and He An didn't know that their neighbors were talking about them behind their backs. Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't care.
Neither of them is the kind of person who would hold on to the money they earn and be reluctant to spend it.
On the contrary, they all agreed that clothes only need to be clean and comfortable, but one must not suffer from hunger.
Otherwise, why do they say that people from the same family tend to stick together?
