Chapter 23 23 Made money

   "I negotiated the price with him, and the last eight cents were given to me. There are five people in our family, exactly one per person."

   said, Qin Xiaoyao first handed one to Song Yun, who was closest to him.

   "Thank you—thank you sister-in-law." Seeing that Song Ye was enjoying his meal, Song Yun was so greedy that she took it straight away.

   When Qin Xiaoyao saw this, he couldn't help touching the little sister-in-law's head.

   Immediately, he walked towards Liu Shi with a smile.

   "Mother, this is for you." Then, he picked a good one and handed it to Liu Shi.

   "I-I won't eat it." Liu Shi subconsciously refused. The line of sight can't be moved.

   It's not that she is greedy, but that her family is too poor, and she hasn't eaten anything sweet for a long time. The body instinctively desires.

   "Oh, I said one for each person, mother, take it!" Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward with a smile and forcibly gave Liu's one.

   Liu Shi just took it.

   "Thank-thank you." He blushed and said awkwardly.

   "Thank you? It's all a family." Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

   Immediately, he walked to the two little ones.

   "This time, Ye'er worked hard for a trip. Send this candied fruit to your eldest brother." After finishing speaking, he gave Song Ye the last intact candied fruit.

   "Okay, sister-in-law!" Song Ye happily accepted the task.

   took the candied haws and ran away.

  Qin Xiaoyao looked at the back of the little doll leaving, and was very happy.

   Then, he also ate the candied haws in his hand.

   stuffed the candied haws into his mouth, and Qin Xiaoyao began to take the things in the basket.

  There are two bowls, about two catties of pork liver, and two bags of grain.

   Liu Shi was a little surprised when he saw this.

  Qin Xiaoyao explained: "The yam I brought to the town, 10 catties were sold to Dr. Li in Baicaotang, the rest, 10 catties were given to my father, and some I asked my father to give to my Uncle Zhao."

  Liu Shi nodded and said nothing.

  The yam was originally brought back by the daughter-in-law, and what she wants to do with it is her freedom.

   Qin Xiaoyao was satisfied when he saw this.

   Then he told Liu Shi about his situation of selling yam and his plan to sell yam to Lai Fu Lou.

   Liu Shi was shocked when he heard this.

   "Six-six cents per pound?" He stammered.

   Then, he quickly looked towards the stove.

   Rice is cooking on the stove.

   In order to save food, she put a lot of yam in the pot.

   Knowing that this thing is more expensive than rice noodles, why would she be willing to make it and eat it herself?

   Qin Xiaoyao was amused by the actions of his mother-in-law.

   "Hmm." He replied with a smile.

"But that's the price that Dr. Li gave. If you sell it to Laifulou, I'm afraid it will be lower. But my Uncle Zhao is fair, and I won't push it too low." She estimated that it might be sold for four cents a pound. can.

   Liu Shi nodded.

   "Things in the mountains don't have any capital. If you can make money, you can do it." He said.

   Qin Xiaoyao also nodded.

   "Besides, this pig liver was given by my father. I'll take it to the stream to wash it later, just in time to add a dish." After speaking, Qin Xiaoyao carried the pig liver.

   Some look forward to eating pork liver soup later.

   When Liu Shi heard this, he felt a little grateful.

  Although my in-laws came to the house to make trouble, it was true that their family did something wrong at that time.

   "There are also two bags of brown rice and rough noodles, each bag is ten pounds. I went to town, and I bought it by the way."

   Qin Xiaoyao said, picked up two bags and went to the rice noodle tank.

   "The cloth bag is from someone's shop, and a total of ten pennies have been deposited. Next time I go to town, I have to take it back and return it to someone else."

   "Now we have enough rice and noodles at home. Mom, you can put more when cooking. Or bake more pancakes. Don't make it too thin."

   "Hey." Liu Shi agreed.

   Yam is so precious, more expensive than brown rice and rough noodles, she will not dare to put it again in the future.

   Compared with yam, you can also add more brown rice to cook.

   Qin Xiaoyao poured the brown rice and rough noodles into the jar, folded the cloth bag and put it away, and then looked at Liu Shi again.

   "Besides, about Xianggong's legs—"

   As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Liu looked at Qin Xiaoyao nervously.

   "Doctor Li has already agreed, and will come over to see Mrs. Xianggong in the afternoon. The specific situation can only be determined after seeing it."

   "However, Dr. Li said that if the situation is not serious, it will cost five or six hundred wen."

   Liu's complexion changed, a look of sadness.

  Five or six hundred wen is actually not expensive.

   But the situation at home... Even if it is five or six hundred yuan, she can't get it out.

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled when he saw Liu Shi's expression, and said, "Don't worry too much about the medical expenses, mother."

   "If the sale of yam can be done, it will not be a problem for us to collect five or six hundred wen for medical expenses."

   Liu Shi was taken aback.

   Then I remembered the yam thing, and nodded quickly.

   "However, what I'm worried about is that the husband's injury will not be so easy."

   Liu Shi's expression immediately became tense again.

   "Doctor Li said that if it is serious, some expensive medicinal materials must be used. In this case, it is possible to spend one or two taels of silver."

   "One-one-twenty-two?" Mrs. Liu stammered.

   Qin Xiaoyao sighed.

   "Hmm." replied.

   "But-but our family-" Where did you get so much money?

   Now, Liu Shi seems to be an ant on a hot pot.

   "Don't worry, I have found a solution for the silver issue." Qin Xiaoyao said again.

   Seeing Liu Shi looking over, he explained, "I'll go talk to my father."

   "He has already agreed to borrow ten taels of silver from our family. But my stepmother requested that the husband give me the documents. Besides, we have to return the money within half a year."

   "It should be established, half a year... But if it's half a year, can we still get it?" Mrs Liu muttered, her tone full of disbelief.

   "Naturally." Qin Xiaoyao said immediately.

   "Although our family has no land, it is easy to go up the mountain with the back of the mountain."

   "There are a lot of good things in the mountains. As long as people are diligent, they will not worry about making money."

   Seeing that the Liu family was still worried, Qin Xiaoyao said again: "Isn't this yam a good example?"

   "As long as Uncle Zhao is willing to help, he will find the yam field and dug up all the yam. It will not be a problem for us to sell it for more than two taels of silver."

   Hearing this, Liu Shi's expression was a little more relaxed.

   "But there aren't yams everywhere in the mountains." Then he said again.

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled, "Is there only yam? What kind of mushrooms, wild fruits and game, can't they be sold for money?"

   "Just the pheasant and hare I caught yesterday. Those things are very popular in restaurants in the town. Those two hare skins, didn't I also sell them for ten cents today?"

   Liu Shi was taken aback.

   "Hare skins can also be sold for money?" Somewhat surprised.

   "Well." Qin Xiaoyao replied.

   "There is a grocery store in town that specializes in collecting skins. Not only hare skins can be sold for money, but deer skins, fox skins, wolf skins, and tiger skins are more valuable."

   "I've seen it before when I was a girl. Someone sent a tiger skin to a grocery store. It wasn't very big, and it was sold for twenty taels!"
