Chapter 148 Shufeng's Marriage



Chunxiao came out of the restaurant at Shen Shizhong, and asked Xiaohua to go home directly.

Now that she has so much money on her, she always feels unsafe when she is outside. After settling the 10-month dividend of 8,640 taels plus another 16,000 taels, she feels like a money-printing machine.

If this had been put in the past, the price of this recipe would have been a few thousand taels at most. Now that the restaurant has directly felt its value, the price of the recipe has skyrocketed. What's even better is that they can continue to use it themselves, otherwise the price would have been even higher.

As soon as she got home, she locked herself in her room. At this time, Zhou and the others were helping in the fields, so she had a good opportunity to settle the accounts.

She put another ten thousand taels of silver notes into the money box. Now there were 50 thousand taels of silver notes in it, which was just enough to hold it. It seemed that she needed to prepare another box.

After putting the money box away, she decided to give 3,000 taels each to the Dashan and Dahe families of the remaining 15,900 taels, and keep the remaining 9,000 taels outside as activity funds.

After making the decision, she asked Xiaohua to go outside and call all the family members back.

Everyone came back soon, "Little sister, do you have anything else to say?"

"Everyone, please sit down." She asked them to sit down. "I went to the restaurant this afternoon. Mr. Huang discussed with me about buying a house. I thought my focus now was on the land, so I sold him the recipe."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Chunxiao, if you sell the recipe, then we won't have to braise meat anymore, right?"

Chun Xiao nodded. "There's no need to send it for another five days." She took out a stack of banknotes and gave 3,000 taels each to Yan Dashan and Yan Dahe. "This money is for you to share."

"Oh my god, I recognize this bill. My brother gave me three this morning, and now I got three more. That's a lot of money! No way! I'm going to dig a cellar in my house and exchange all this paper for silver. Only when I see the boxes of cash will I realize this is real."

"Second brother, if you want to dig one for me in the backyard, I will also exchange it for silver. I will look at it every day and wake up with a smile in my dreams." Chun Xiao smiled at Yan Dahe, "Besides taking it out for use, silver is more reassuring to look at."

"I was just kidding, you really want to dig it out?" Yan Dahe looked at her.

Everyone laughed at once.

"That's fine. It's a hassle to pick up and deliver the braised meat every day. I'll just sell it. I'll have some free time from now on."

"Then I'll tell the butcher when I get the meat tomorrow. You don't have to keep it anymore."

"What about the marinade?" Yan Dahe suddenly remembered, "Dad and I just went to make it a month ago. We each have 200 kilograms. Should we sell it to Boss Huang?"

"No, I'm not selling it. I worked so hard to get it back, so I'm keeping it for myself. I'll take some back to Pengdong later. I'm selling the recipe, but we can also use it if we open our own store in the future. The marinade ingredients can be kept for a long time as long as they are dried, and they are even better in Pengdong."

"If we don't make braised meat anymore, we won't have to stay at home all day. It will be more convenient to go to the farm in the future. It's a good thing."

"There's so much money at home all of a sudden, why do I feel so uneasy?"

"Mom, if you don't give it to me, I'll keep it for you and make sure it's somewhere no one can find it."

"You're already thinking about managing your father's money!" Yan Dashan patted Shuwen on the head. "You don't need to worry about it."

"No, I think digging the cellar is still something I need to do, but I need to think carefully about this place."

Chunxiao took out another 10 small-denomination silver notes and said, "Today, everyone who sees this gets a share. These 400 taels are for my parents. Each of you can keep two in your own pockets. The remaining six are for my six children, which is exactly three for each family. Brother and sister-in-law, you must hand them over to them. If you have to confiscate them, do it openly and honestly."

"Chunxiao, they are all young, why are you giving them so much money? Just keep it for yourself and give them a few taels, which is more than enough."

"Yeah, if you have too much money on you, it won't bite you. It's just like that, it's just swaying around like that."

"Mom, you're still saying this to me even though I'm giving you money," Chun Xiao deliberately said with a gloomy face. "I want to give them some of the money I earn. Just think of it as money biting me." She laughed again. "I want them to be happy when they see me in the future."

"They are happy to see you now."

Shuwen quickly snatched a silver note from her mother's hand and said, "Since it was given to me by my aunt, I will keep it for myself. I think Shufeng will ask you for it when she comes back from the farm. You just wait, mother. The most you can keep is the one that Xiaoqi has." After saying that, she packed the money and ran away with a laugh.

"This kid has become a money-grubber now."

"Mom, sister-in-law, have you shown Shufeng the other person? My brother was so anxious about this when he came back this time."

"Of course I haven't seen any, it's just that so many young men were taken away by the conscription army back then, and now they are all around her age or younger. There are few who are a few years older and of the right age. There are too few suitable ones in our village, so we can only wait and see. Chunxiao, let me tell you, there are many people who come to our house to propose marriage, and most of them are looking for a wife for Shuwen." Zhou smiled, "Shuwen is really popular now."

"Mom, I told Shuwen about this yesterday, but he didn't care at all. His father also said that Shuwen didn't need to worry, saying that he was a boy and would have gained experience after running around outside for two years. I don't know what they are thinking. Wouldn't it be better for him to get married sooner?"

Chunxiao looked at the worried Tian and said, "Sister-in-law, I think it's better to wait a little longer. Anyway, our family is well-off now, so it's easy to find a daughter-in-law. I won't comment on Shufeng, but the only point is that the other person must have good character, be ambitious and have a good heart. It doesn't matter if she's a little poor."

"You and I think the same thing. I get scared when I think of someone like Zhou Hongzhi. I don't know if this war will be over this year. If it's over, all these young people will come back, and that would give us more options. Sigh, we're stuck in the middle right now."
