My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

"Xiaoyu, shall I sell all of these pheasants and rabbits?"

Yang Fenglan threw the pheasant and rabbit into her basket and covered it with a tattered cloth.

When she came back from the mountain yesterday, she asked Shen Yu whether to sell the rabbits and pheasants or keep them.

Shen Yu felt that she wouldn't be staying in this house for long. Raising pheasants and rabbits would be a long-term commitment, and she wouldn't get any benefits from it in the end, so she didn't want to stay.

Yang Fenglan's opinion was also not to retain any opinions.

They couldn't even afford to eat, and they didn't have money to buy bran to feed the chickens.

As for the rabbits, we need to set aside a piece of land to raise them and cut grass to feed them. With the drought coming up next year, I'm afraid we'll be too slow to even pick tree bark, let alone have the time to cut grass to raise rabbits.

When famine strikes, this rabbit becomes the object of others' covetousness.

It's better to just sell it and get the money in your hands.

Yang Fenglan also mentioned to Shen Yu the idea of ​​selling the goods and dividing the spoils.

She persuaded Shen Yu to come up the mountain under the pretext of "saving up dowry." If the money from the sale wasn't properly divided, Shen Yu would definitely have objections and might go on strike.

A good boss not only needs to know how to use people, but also how to distribute money.

When the weather is dry, small animals have to go out to find food. The mountains are high and the forests are vast, so wild game is hard to hunt and in short supply, making it a highly sought-after commodity.

As soon as Yang Fenglan put her stall out at the market, people came to ask about it.

When supply cannot meet demand, the highest bidder wins.

Three gray rabbits and two fat pheasants were sold for a total of 160 coins.

When Yang Fenglan received her first pot of gold, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

Yingying, your sister has finally made something of herself!

Just wait until I become a rich woman, and I'll bring you here in a grand sedan chair to enjoy your life!

After selling her goods, Yang Fenglan carried a basket on her back and strolled around the street.

While strolling around, I pondered whether I could start a business that would generate long-term profits, as constantly going up the mountain wasn't a sustainable solution.

Even if they could find treasures and exchange them for money through Shen Yu's lucky charm, earning money too easily would easily arouse envy, and sooner or later they would have to start a business in the open.

If it's not market day, there aren't many stalls; most of the vendors are roadside shops.

There were a few scattered vendors carrying their wares and hawking them.

We have enough food at home for the time being, and we also have salt, but what we lack most is oil.

Thinking about it, Yang Fenglan went to the market that specializes in selling vegetables and bought two catties of pork fat, which cost her fifty coins.

I bought another bushel of red beans, and another thirty coins were gone.

However, as long as there is oil and salt, grasshoppers will taste sweet when stir-fried.

Yang Fenglan left the city satisfied.

Luckily, I encountered an oxcart from Qingshui Village and took it home for three coins.

I got home just past noon.

Shen Yu was embroidering a handkerchief inside the room.

Yang Fenglan put down what she bought and went into the west room.

The remaining copper coins were all placed on the dressing table. "Xiaoyu, a total of 160 coins were sold. Two catties of oil cost 50 coins, leaving 90 coins. A peck of beans cost 30 coins. Adding the 3 coins for the carriage ride, there are a total of 77 coins left."

“As we agreed before, the money will be divided into three parts. One part will be used to buy medicine for Jingyi, and the other two parts will be split equally between us. If we divide the seventy-seven coins into three parts, twenty-five coins will be saved up to buy medicine for Jingyi, and we will each get twenty-six coins.”

As Yang Fenglan spoke, she counted out the copper coins.

Shen Yu lowered her eyes, her fingers twitching slightly as she silently calculated the expenses Yang Fenglan had mentioned.

Zhou Jingyi leaned against the headboard, staring at Yang Fenglan in disbelief. "Mother, how do you know how to calculate these things?"

"This..." It's a compulsory course for elementary school students.

Yang had never been to school or run a business. She used to make clothes for others, but she always let them decide how much to pay because she wasn't good at accounting.

Seeing that Shen Yu and Zhou Jingyi were both looking at her, Yang Fenglan scratched her head and said, "When I bought the beans, I asked the shopkeeper to calculate it for me, and that's how I remembered it."

"Oh." Zhou Jingyi believed it without a doubt, but at the same time, he was also puzzled.

Why are the money from the sale of the things that the mother and daughter-in-law went into the mountains to find divided into three portions?

Zhou Jingyi: "Mom, it's fine to have someone keep the money in the house."

Yang Fenglan: "What do you know? Women love beauty and need to have money so they can buy whatever they like."

Zhou Jingyi: "Then... that little bit is not enough for me to buy medicine."

Yang Fenglan was somewhat speechless: "Don't worry, I won't mistreat you."
