We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

After watching the village head go down the mountain, Cheng Yue asked Chen Lin to lead the ox cart into the yard, and then the three children started cutting grass and feeding the pigs.

Chen An was sitting outside the yard talking to Liu Chunlai and the others. Cheng Yue was not idle either. She sat down and prepared to settle the wages for a group of men.

At first, she wanted to pay the wages on the same day, so that everyone would have cash in hand every day and would not have to rush when they needed it.

However, everyone felt that it was inconvenient for Cheng Yue and the others to settle the bill on a daily basis, so it would be better to wait until the work is completed and settle the bill in one go.

Anyway, there will be more days when I will be short of money, so I won’t rush to spend the money I earn now on shopping.

Besides, holding a handful of money in your hand makes it feel better and seems more substantial.

Of course, Cheng Yue had no objection no matter how the settlement was made. The amount of money that should be paid was the same, no more and no less.

Cheng Yue took out her small accounting notebook, calculated the wages, and seeing that it was still early, she took stock of the family's existing savings.

The silver left over from the division of the family property, plus the money earned from setting up the stall and what Mr. Chen San gave, was almost exactly thirty-six taels.

Today’s profit has not been calculated yet. It will be added when the distribution is calculated at the end of the month.

Thirty-six taels may sound a little, but the purchasing power of money at that time was still considerable. This amount of silver could buy more than two thousand kilograms of pork. If it were in modern times, how could it be considered a monthly income of over ten thousand yuan!

It is not possible to earn over ten thousand yuan a month in modern times, but it was possible in ancient times. At this moment, Cheng Yue is quite satisfied.

Just as he punched the pillow a few times excitedly, Chen An's voice rang out from outside, "Ayue, it's already covered, come out and see if there's anything wrong?"

Cheng Yue rubbed his face, took a breath, then walked out with the calculated copper coins.

A group of men stood aside, waiting to be inspected.

Cheng Yue looked around and found that both the courtyard wall and the shed were exactly as she requested, with no difference.

"No problem, thank you for your hard work, let's pay you!"

After hearing what Cheng Yue said, everyone's shoulders suddenly slumped and their whole body relaxed.

"Huh, Sister Cheng Yue, you were really scary just now. I was afraid that you would say something was wrong and ask us to redo it."

Liu Chunlai is always a talkative person, and he didn't dare to say anything just now.

Cheng Yue raised her eyebrows. She sounded so amiable and lovely!

Zhang Dajiang elbowed him, "You didn't do your job properly, you must be feeling guilty!"

"Don't accuse me. I'm not being lazy. Why should I feel guilty?" Liu Chunlai puffed out his chest and raised his voice.

He just felt that Cheng Yue had changed a lot after the separation. Although she was still as friendly as before, he felt as if she understood a lot, and he was just unconsciously nervous.

"Please stop talking. It will be dark soon. Come over here and get your wages to go home for dinner."

Chen An felt helpless to hear a grown man chattering like this. He recalled the way he used to chatter behind him when he was a child. It was really a nightmare!

The copper coins had been strung together with a rope, and Cheng Yue handed them to them one by one. "You have been working for eight days, thirty coins a day, so this string is two hundred and forty coins. Check them to see if there are any mistakes?"

Zhang Dajiang took the lead and ordered, not because he did not trust Cheng Yue, but because he wanted to make it easier for Cheng Yue.

When his mother came up to sell sweet potato noodles, she mentioned this matter. The noodles were ordered in person at that time, and his mother even praised Cheng Yue for being thoughtful.

"No problem, it's right, thank you, sister-in-law!"

"There's nothing wrong with ours, they're all correct!"

Seeing that everyone had clicked, Cheng Yue smiled and said, "That's good. Thank you all for these days!"

"We should thank Sister Cheng Yue!"

Everyone was so happy holding the heavy copper coins. They worked happily and had sweet drinks every day. Where else could they get such treatment?

After expressing their gratitude, the group went down the mountain together.

"It's good to have money. I'm going to cut two pounds of meat tomorrow for me to taste!"

"I want to buy a candy bar for my child to sweeten his mouth!"

"..."

The discussion gradually became quieter, and Cheng Yue and Chen An also entered the yard.

After dinner, the family went to bed early. They were busy from morning till night and were really exhausted.

The important thing is that I will continue to be tired tomorrow.

On the second day, the family went to the county town as usual. Business was booming yesterday, and today's customer flow has increased instead of decreased.

Especially the servants and maids in each mansion were sent out by their wives early in the morning to line up actively.

This braised food is very flavorful. No wonder Qin Xiaoyun's inability to swallow food was cured and she tried every means to recommend it to them.

After trying it yesterday, what else is there to not understand? It’s so delicious!

They want spicy food today! Sweet and spicy! As spicy as possible!

Thanks to these people’s strong support, 200 kilograms of braised food were sold out in less than half an hour.

Those who queued behind but didn’t buy anything complained angrily, but the way they were dressed made it clear that they were servants in a wealthy family. They had money and could buy as much as they wanted, so they couldn’t just ask them to buy less!

Wait until tomorrow, they will definitely come earlier!

Everyone clenched their fists secretly and left angrily.

Chen Lin and his two sisters were all a little dumbfounded. "Why do they buy five or ten kilograms at a time? Can we finish it?"

Cheng Yue spread her hands, "As I said before, rich people are different."

People spend money for fun. If they can't finish the food, they can give it to the servants. It doesn't matter if they throw it away.

The main thing is that ten kilograms is not much money, and three hundred coins are nothing to them. If someone wants to, it would be a matter of a blink of an eye to buy out her shop.

Cheng Yue shed tears of envy. There are so many rich people in the world, so what if there is one more rich person like her!

After lamenting, continue to work hard. If you work hard, you will have a chance to become a rich woman.

Cheng Yue thought that she had something to do in the afternoon, so she just made some food at noon. After lunch, the family went directly to Wangshan Village.

Now that the nests have been built, of course the chickens and ducklings must be brought home as soon as possible.

Five hundred chickens and ducks were hatched, and the villagers helped raise them for a few days. They were all lively and healthy.

Since all five hundred had been gathered, Cheng Yue didn't care about what she had said at the beginning about raising them in batches, and brought them all back home.

I was thinking about the business of the braised food shop. I had originally planned to prepare 100 kilograms every day, but looking at the current situation, I estimated that 200 kilograms would be just right.

With so many chickens and ducks needed every day, it is not possible to rely solely on Wangshan Village.

After all, they are not specialized in this business, and she couldn't say that she wanted a large quantity and asked them to raise more.

The cost of breeding is still very high, and she cannot afford the responsibility if something goes wrong one day.

Being self-sufficient is the best option, and it is also a good opportunity to develop other businesses.

With such a large quantity, we need to raise at least several thousand. We can only wait until Zhao Xiangxiu and her daughter get the hang of it, and then slowly increase the amount.

In the next one or two years, there will be no problem with the supply from Wangshan Village, so she can wait.
