A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Another eighty or ninety taels came in, so now the family has a total of two hundred forty or fifty taels, probably about this much, but if you want the exact number, you have to count it."

Father Zhang: "If you want to buy a shop in town, a good shop will cost more than 3 taels, or even more than taels. If you want to rent it, it usually costs taels to taels a month, depending on the location."

Grandpa Zhang looked at the crowd and said, "Let's go to the town tomorrow to look for a dental clinic to see if there is a suitable store. Now that we have made the decision, we have enough money at home.

And I have had this idea sooner or later, so let's do it sooner. We also need to spend time to renovate the store. Solving this problem early will also make it convenient for Xiaofeng to study in the town in the future.

If Xiaofeng comes back from school during this period, we will set out from home half an hour earlier to pick him up. Fortunately, we have a bullock cart at home, otherwise we will have to stay in town for several hours. "

Seeing that everyone had finished discussing the shop and Xiaofeng's going to town to study, Zhang Yunyue handed the green cloth on the table to Zhang's mother.

"Mother, this is the cloth I bought for today. Please hurry up and make a long gown for Xiaofeng. Otherwise, he will have to wear the shorts he wears when he goes to school tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll ask your second aunt and grandma to help, and we can make it today." Zhang's mother took the cloth from Zhang Yunyue's hand.

Zhu smiled and said, "Yueyue, don't worry. I have nothing to do this afternoon and will sew with my sister-in-law. It will be quick."

Then Zhang's mother and Zhu started cutting clothes with scissors.

Seeing that she had nothing to do for the time being, Zhang Yunyue took the silk and silk thread she had bought and went to Zhang Xiaohua's house.

"Uncle Dashan, you're at home. I'm looking for Xiaohua and Xiaohe." Zhang Yunyue popped her head out of the door, looked at Zhang Dashan, and then walked into the yard.

Zhang Dashan looked at Zhang Yunyue and said with a smile, "They are all in the house, go ahead."

Zhang Yunyue nodded and walked towards the sisters' room.

There is conversation going on in the room now.

"Do you think Yueyue can sell the embroidered handkerchief if she goes to town today?"

"Of course you can. The embroidered handkerchief is so beautiful. Anyone with good taste will definitely buy it."

"Yes, I think so too."

"Well, I believe Yueyue, but I'm still a little worried."

"I'm here, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, hahaha." Zhang Yunyue walked into the room of sisters Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohe with a smile.

"Oh, Yueyue, you're back." Zhang Xiaohe hurriedly got up and pulled Zhang Yunyue in to sit on the bed.

"Yueyue, tell me quickly, have you sold the handkerchief you embroidered yesterday?"

Zhang Yun also looked at the six eyes of the three people staring at him, and laughed: "Of course I sold it, and it was 6 cents each, a total of 20 cents." After saying that, Zhang Yunyue took out 60 copper coins and gave 60 cents to each person.

The three took the copper coins handed over by Zhang Yunyue and were instantly surprised. Usually, Xiaoxiao's mother also went to the town to sell embroidered handkerchiefs, but her embroidered handkerchiefs were only sold for 13 coins each in Tianxianglou.

The embroidery skills of the three of them were not even as good as A Niang's, but they sold it for 20 cents. Looking at the copper coins in their hands, they felt that it was too unreal.

Zhang Yunyue smiled and interrupted the three people's contemplation, and handed the silk and silk thread to the three people. "Hey, this is the silk and silk thread bought at Tianxianglou. Madam Chen from Tianxianglou said,

The handkerchiefs embroidered with this silk will be sold at a price of 40 coins each, so you should embroider them well. I bought 10 feet of silk, which is enough for you to embroider for a while.

You can first embroider according to the pattern I give you. You can also let go of your imagination and use things from daily life, animals and flowers on the mountain to make them cute.

This way there will be more tricks, you can all try them, and if they don’t work, I’ll draw more tricks for you later.”

"Okay, let's try it. By the way, Yueyue, how much do you want to pay for these silks and threads? When we embroider all of this silk into handkerchiefs and sell them, you have to pay back the money you paid in advance."

"Okay, these are 90 coins in total. I'll take out the money when the time comes."

"Well, that's how it should be."

After chatting and laughing for a while, several people started to cut silk and embroider handkerchiefs with scissors. Zhang Yunyue saw that she could not help anymore, so she decided to go home and take care of her own things.

"Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, I can't help you right now. I have to go home first. I have things to do at home."

Zhang Xiaohe exclaimed, "Ah!" She also knew that Zhang Yunyue didn't have that much time to play outside. "Then remember to come back when you are free!"

Zhang Yunyue patted Zhang Xiaohe's head and said, "I understand. I'll come and play with you three when I have time. I'll leave now."

After saying that, he waved to the three people, left Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohe's house, and walked towards his own home nearby.

When I walked into the yard, I saw Grandma Zhang, Mother Zhang, and Mrs. Zhu sitting in the yard, and they had already started sewing long gowns under the locust tree.

"Grandma, mother, second aunt, you guys are so quick. I haven't been at Xiaohua's house for long, and you've already done so much."

"Hey, that's nothing. We are used to doing this. Aren't all your clothes, shoes and socks made by us?"

"Yueyue, why don't you continue playing with them at Xiaohua's house? There's nothing to do at home. Your grandfather is in the workshop, and your second uncle is watching over there too."

"I am going to make chili oil now. I am going to add pork, chicken, and the crispy whistle thing I mentioned a few days ago. I will try to make all of these.

Only then can I know how it tastes and whether people will accept it. After all, I will open a store in the town soon, so I want to try to make the chili oil flavor as soon as possible. "

"Okay, just do whatever you want. Our family supports you. If you need us to do anything later, just give us a call."

"No need, mother. I'll take the meat to the workshop. They have peppers, onions, cilantro and everything else. We still have to prepare it at home."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue went to the well to take out all the chilled pork that he had brought back at noon, and then took out a backpack from the utility room, put all the meat into the backpack, and also put the sweet wine that had been fermenting under the eaves for the past two days into the backpack.

Zhang Yunyue opened the fermenting sweet wine jar before going out in the morning and prepared to take it to the workshop. The sweet wine was fermented just right and was perfect for making crispy whistles.

"Bang, bang, bang, Grandpa, Second Uncle, open the door." Zhang Yunyue knocked on the door outside the workshop.

"Squeak", my second uncle Zhang Cheng opened the door behind him.

"Yueyue, why are you here in the workshop? Why don't you rest at home? Why are you still carrying a backpack?" Zhang Cheng asked in confusion when he saw Zhang Yunyue carrying a backpack.

"Uncle, I'm carrying meat. Please let me in first. The meat is a bit heavy."
