The female general of the last days returned to ancient times to raise a young prostitute
Chapter 89: Money in Hands, No Worries
Mo Rao came to the blacksmith shop. Master Yang happily took out dozens of orders.
These ten are an expedited order. The price is eighty taels each.
These twenty-three pieces are standard orders. Fifty taels per piece. Yang the blacksmith grew increasingly excited as he spoke.
After Master Yang handed over the order, he also handed over 15 silver notes worth taels each, totaling taels.
What does this mean? Mo Rao asked in confusion.
Master Yang explained: "It's like this, our prototype was bought by the steward of the prefectural government."
I originally didn't intend to sell it. But he offered a high price and even mentioned his status as the prefect. I had no choice but to agree to sell it to him.
Oh, so that's how it is. But the money should be split between you and me.
"Except the 25 taels of capital, we'll split the remaining interest in half." Mo Rao counted out six ten-tael silver notes and took out two taels of small change from his pocket and handed them to Yang the blacksmith.
This is sixty-two taels, as agreed upon. We'll split it in half.
Blacksmith Yang didn't take the money Mo Rao handed over. Instead, he said, "This thresher was originally made by the young lady. It doesn't count as an item acquired after our collaboration. The money from the sale naturally belongs to the young lady."
Let's put it this way. Girl, just take it with confidence.
Blacksmith Yang was adamant about not accepting Mo Rao's money. She didn't bother to refuse. After all, she was desperate for money. The more money, the better.
I have money in my hand and don’t panic.
There are 33 car frames alone. I wonder if the woodworking shop can take on all these orders.
Mo Rao wanted to train her eldest brother, so she asked Mo Qingshan to negotiate with the furniture shop. She herself went to the furniture dealership and rented a large, empty courtyard for five taels a month.
I rented it for six months. The location is not too far away, and it is convenient for transporting goods back and forth.
The owner of the furniture shop was also quite resourceful. He couldn't handle the entire business on his own, so he approached a colleague to share the order with him.
Currently, the shop offers the lowest price of one tael and five qian of silver.
Mo Rao and his sister went to buy a large amount of materials for making butter.
Mo Rao first boiled a large pot of magnetic wheel butter, thinking that it should last for a while.
The cost of making gear butter was also greatly reduced. The original cost of two taels of silver was directly reduced to one tael and two cents.
The cost price of a thresher was set at 20 taels per unit, so the Mo family father and son could earn 2 taels and 3 qian of silver for every thresher they assembled.
Mo Rao directly handed the rest of the matters over to Mo Qingshan.
After all, Mo Qingshan was an experienced person, so the installation wouldn't be that complicated.
The thresher business is quite busy during this period.
Mr. Mo and Mo Qingshan and his son moved directly into the rented courtyard in the city.
Mo's mother was worried about the father and son. They didn't eat or sleep well because of the work, so she asked her daughter-in-law, Zhang Lanlan, to go to the capital with her. That way, even if they were busy, they could still have a hot meal.
The Mo family was so busy with their fifty acres of land in Zhangjia Village that they had no time to work. So they simply hired people to farm it. They paid twenty cents a day. Zhang Lin was out in the fields every day, working alongside them.
With Zhang Lin watching over the fields, the Mo family felt more at ease. After all, without the head of the family watching over the fields, the workers would surely become lazy and passive.
Mo Rao looked at the grain harvested in front of the door and sighed deeply.
So much rice was brought back, but only this much grain was harvested in the end.
It turns out that there are only 200 kilograms of rice per mu, and only 1 kilograms of grain can be harvested from mu of land.
After deducting 30% of the taxes, their family only had about 7,000 kilograms of grain left.
Think of the 200 to kilograms of grain per mu in later times. And then look at the kilograms of grain per mu today. There's a world of difference.
Fertilizer is essential for high crop yields. She will study this in detail in the future.
Grain was selling for ten cents a jin. Old Lady Mo took the initiative and sold six thousand jin. She earned sixty taels of silver and kept a thousand jin for her family.
Girl, take this sixty taels of silver first. We’ll definitely need money to renovate the restaurant, said Mrs. Mo.
"Grandma, keep the money for now. Master Yang sold the threshing machine in the city for 150 taels. Here's the banknote."
Adding the remaining silver, I still have more than two hundred taels on hand. It's enough for now.
Mrs. Mo said: "Okay! If you don't have enough money later, remember to tell grandma."
"Got it, Grandma. There'll be a sum of money coming down from the capital soon. Don't worry about the money, Grandma. I know what's going on." Mo Rao said as she took Grandma Mo's arm.
In the following time, Mo Rao ran back and forth between the town and Mojia Village.
If you want to decorate the restaurant as quickly as possible, you still have to find a dealer.
The dealership has many connections, and finding decorators only takes a few minutes, and it's just a matter of spending a little more money.
Mo Rao also sold all the tables, chairs and benches in the restaurant to the pawnshop at a low price.
The first step in the renovation is the kitchen.
The stove inside was completely dismantled, and all the pots, pans, and utensils were put into the utility room.
As for the cellar in the stove, Mo Rao had the door removed as it was too simple.
I turned on the lights and walked down. The space inside wasn't very big, with only two empty shelves. It was only about five or six square meters. The cellar was too small, so I had to expand it.
According to the requirements of the drawings, the workers directly demolished the wall facing the hall, and the kitchen became an open kitchen.
A large bellows is installed directly above the stove. When the fan blades rotate, the cooking fumes in the kitchen are sucked out through the wall.
Since the bellows were manual, they still needed human intervention. She could make an automatic bellows, but not right now.
First, she has no power now.
The second power generation device requires materials, but now the materials are not only incomplete.
If you don't speak well, you might even bring about some fatal disaster. For safety's sake, for the sake of your family and your own life, it's better to keep a low profile.
Some things are hard to bring out publicly, but that doesn't stop her from researching them privately.
However, in this backward ancient time, her research could not even come up with the most basic parts.
When she has money in the future, she will organize a caravan to travel all over the world and search for good things.
Lime is essential for renovations. It's a moisture-proof material. Rich families use it when building houses and tombs, and most families use it, too.
So the price of lime is not cheap.
Plus the tables, chairs, and benches. All of these need to be replaced. And then there's the renovation workers' wages. Everything costs money.
The money she had was far from enough to decorate the shop.
If we wait for the money from the capital to come down, it will take at least half a month.
