"Miss Yan, look, I've given you so much. Just give me the change. I don't have to worry about getting so many copper coins."
Chunxiao breathed a sigh of relief. This fat shopkeeper seemed to be a man who loved to take advantage. Fortunately, he didn't round off the one tael of silver. Now that the goods have been delivered, if she disagrees, will there be a quarrel? She smiled and said, "You've given us such a big business, let's be friends. Okay, I'll round off the amount as you said. Just give me 61 taels."
In the end, Chunxiao got 6 silver ingots of 10 taels each and one tael of silver. It was the first time for them to see such big silver ingots, so they touched the big silver ingots again and again. Chunxiao gave the 6 silver ingots to Yan Dashan for safekeeping, packed the one tael of silver herself, took back her guarantee note from the fat shopkeeper, said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and left Fuqiu Lane.
As soon as he left Fuqiu Lane, Dahe started complaining, "Chunxiao, didn't you say we should sell the remaining coal to others? They're making more money at 60 wen than he is here. And this fat guy is so stingy. He just deducted over 700 wen without saying anything. I feel so bad. I gave away more than 10 kilograms of coal for nothing."
"Yes, more than 700 coins were deducted for nothing. We can buy a lot of things with 700 coins." Both brothers felt very painful.
Chunxiao looked at them and asked, "Brother, does the silver you just saw look tempting?"
They both laughed, "This is the first time I've seen so much silver. It feels like a dream."
"If I don't agree to his request, the money will be gone. Never mind. Even if we suffer a little loss, we still make a lot of money. Don't think about it. Big brother, you better keep the money safe. We will go shopping and share the money with you when we get back.
She had one tael of silver in her hand. She couldn't buy books today, but she could still buy silk flowers. She ran to the street in the town, looked at several stalls, picked out three silk flowers that girls would like, and bought four beautiful peach wood hairpins, spending 500 coins. Then she went to the meat stall and bought six pounds of pork and two pounds of ribs, and then went to the grain store to buy 20 pounds of flour. She spent almost all the one tael of silver before going home.
When they got home, Dashan placed the six silver ingots on the table in the main hall and pulled Zhou to his side, saying, "Mother, look, this is the silver we settled today."
Zhou's eyes widened as she looked at the silver on the table. "Oh my goodness, such a big silver ingot! I've lived for so long and this is the first time I've seen such a big silver ingot. How much is this worth?"
"One is 10 taels, and six are 60 taels." The two brothers sat around the table with Zhou and admired the money in the middle of the table.
Chun Xiao found this scene very funny. She went back to the house to get some change, gave each of the two brothers a large silver ingot, and gave them two taels of silver. "12 taels each, pack it up."
The two of them didn't know how to count, and they didn't expect to get a large silver ingot, so they were stunned with joy.
"Can we get one of these silver ingots? There are so many, Chunxiao, you have to calculate it clearly." In addition to the silver ingot, there are another 2 taels. It's 12 taels in one go, which is too scary.
"Yeah, you don't understand. When I take it away, I won't return it." Daha's eyes were filled with laughter.
"Don't worry, take it. I calculated it clearly." After that, she gave the remaining 90 copper coins to Zhou, "You sit outside for a while, I'll put the money away and we'll go over together. Bring 2 pounds of meat." After that, she took the 4 ingots and went into the house.
"Our Chunxiao is amazing. In such a short time, he has saved more money than we have in all these years. It's really enviable."
Zhou looked at the two of them and said, "Even if you get some benefits from following me, don't covet your sister's money. You can't even borrow it."
"Mother, what are you talking about? Are we that kind of people? Chunxiao helps us make money, and we are grateful in our hearts. Don't worry, mother, would you like to touch this silver ingot of mine? This is a 10-liang silver ingot, which is enough for me to save for several years." Dahe couldn't contain his excitement. "Brother, let's take this back. My wife will be so happy when she sees it!"
Dashan smiled and carefully packed the silver away, "You must keep it safe."
It was already one stick of incense later when Chunxiao came out.
"Is it hidden well?" Zhou was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, you won't find it even if you come in." She smiled, took some meat and ribs from the backpack and put them in the kitchen, then locked the door.
"Why did you take out the steamer?" Zhou was puzzled.
"Mom, let's bring the steamer over. I still have 20 kilograms of flour in this basket. Let's take it over and ask my second sister-in-law to make some steamed buns for us. Xiaoqi wants to eat buns, right?"
Zhou smiled and said, "Then let your second brother take it."
"Next time, we'll order a steamer. This one is too inconvenient to take out."
"Brother, I'll remember what you said. Make one quickly. When I want to eat it, I just need to bring the meat over."
Chunxiao locked the door, and the four of them happily went to the village.
Yan Bingfa watched them carry the steamer over and smiled, "Did you buy some meat to make buns for our foodie family?"
"Dad, you're really smart. That's exactly what I meant." Chunxiao put the meat and flour in the kitchen, where Tian was washing vegetables and preparing to cook. "Sister-in-law, don't bother. I'll invite sister-in-law over later and we'll make dumplings for lunch."
"It takes half an hour for the dough to rise for these dumplings. It will be too late to eat them if you wait."
"It doesn't matter if it's later. We need to have a good meal today."
"Then I need to wash the cabbage too, and chop it up for the stuffing later."
Chunxiao looked at the people at home and asked, "Why aren't Shuwen and the others here?"
"They go out to play. There's nothing to do at home and they can't stay idle."
Zhang was called over soon. When she heard that she was to help make the buns, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law can make it too. I'll help out."
