Chapter 166 Who also wore the onions and garlic she used for seasoning?
While Sang Yu was coaxing the child, four people in the pavilion in the yard were counting money.
Even though Sang Yu had already calculated how much money was in his purse, he still had to check it over before he felt at ease.
Sang Yongjing held the plain rag purse upside down, and the copper coins and silver coins inside fell on the table with a clatter, which immediately stopped Mrs. Shi and Xie Qiujin who were busy with needlework.
Mrs. Shi took a quick look and realized that the pile of copper coins in front of her must be worth more than 500 coins. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide and asked, "Jing'er, how much money did you... earn?"
Aren't you going to sell snacks? Those skewers you wore yesterday can be sold for more than 500 wen?
"I haven't counted them yet, but Yu'er said she earned 780 coins. I'll count them again."
Wow, Mrs. Shi’s eyes widened. Those skewers actually made so much money.
Now even Xie Qiujin couldn't help but start to help count. The four of them counted very quickly and found that it was indeed 780 Wen, exactly the same.
"My little sister is quite talented in mental arithmetic." Sang Xingjia sighed softly. She can easily calculate the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of three-digit numbers in her mind, which is something most people can't do.
Hearing this, Sang Yongjing rolled his eyes at him and said, "In what way is your little sister not talented?"
Identifying medicinal herbs, understanding pharmacology, dealing with people, cooking, and doing business, with what she has shown now, there is nothing that Sang Yu is not good at.
Sang Xingjia thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. He could only say that she was worthy of being his little sister.
After persuading Sang Xinghao and reconciling with him, Sang Yu led him out and saw four people sitting around the table counting money, which she couldn't help but find a little funny.
"Have you finished ordering? Is it seven hundred and eighty wen?"
"Yes, exactly." Sang Yongjing smiled and replied.
Her eyes fell on Sang Xinghao who was eating candied haws, and she picked him up: "Is the candied haws delicious? Your sister bought it specially for you."
"tasty!"
We made a lot of money at once, and the whole family had more energy when threading the skewers.
After all, when one doesn't know the reward and one knows that the more you work, the more you get and has already seen the benefits, the latter will definitely be more motivated.
Almost all the dishes in the house were cleared away, even the dishes that Sang Yu planned to keep for dinner.
Sang Yu looked at the empty cellar and kitchen, feeling as if they had just been robbed. It would have been fine if they had just skewered the other items, but who had also skewered the onions and garlic she had used for seasoning?
After all, being enthusiastic is a good thing. Since there was no vegetable at home, she went to the market outside the canyon and bought some vegetables suitable for skewers, and finally filled up the remaining bamboo sticks.
Seeing that Sang Yongjing was about to continue chopping bamboo sticks and threading them, Sang Yu quickly dissuaded him: "Brother, don't be so busy. We already have enough to sell. Chop more tomorrow, chop more tomorrow."
She really couldn't bear it anymore. She could sell so many skewers, but where could she find a container big enough to put them in? Those two small wooden barrels also had a limit.
"Okay." Sang Xingjia stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "I won't go with you tomorrow. I'll stay home and chop some bamboo and bamboo tubes."
There are still more than half of the bamboo tubes that were cut down yesterday, but after tomorrow, they will probably be used up.
He couldn't help much by going with them, so it would be better for him to stay at home and do some preparations.
"Well, that's fine. Dad and I can handle it." Sang Yu nodded in agreement.
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, Sang Yu finally heard the familiar crowing of a rooster.
After the terrifying experience of being awakened by Sang Yongjing yesterday, she felt for the first time in her life that the crowing of a rooster was so pleasant.
This time, Sang Xinghao was also awakened by the crowing of a rooster. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out, "Sister, are you guys going to the city?"
"Yes, Hao'er, if there is anything you want to eat, sister will bring it to you when she comes back." Sang Yu smiled and rubbed his little head.
She had agreed with him yesterday that the stall would be busy in the next few days, and after that period was over, she would take him to the city for a good trip.
Sang Xinghao was a little embarrassed: "I don't want anything to eat, I just want more candy. Can you buy some for me, sister?"
He didn't want snacks but wanted candy instead. Sang Yu was stunned for a moment but quickly realized that this candy was probably not what he wanted to eat.
There were still a lot of candies made from golden cherries left at home. They only limited the amount of candy he could eat every day to prevent tooth decay, and never stopped him from eating.
Recalling the isolation he felt among the group of children when I first brought him to the village, I thought he must have been cooped up at home for too long and wanted to use candy to make some friends.
Sang Yu agreed with this very much. Sang Xinghao was young and could not help much at home, so he always seemed to be doing nothing.
It is a good thing to make some friends in the village. Children can become more lively if they play with their peers more often.
"Of course, I will bring it back to you in the evening."
She agreed without hesitation, thinking that she would buy some candies and candied fruits after closing the stall today.
Children love to eat these things the most. In addition, since people tend to be grateful for what they receive, they will be grateful for what they receive. Therefore, those children should be able to accept Sang Xinghao very quickly.
Today, the number of skewers in the two wooden barrels has increased a lot. The barrels that could originally only hold two layers of skewers are now filled with three layers.
Anyway, the soup will be poured on it when it reaches the right place, so it’s okay to squeeze it.
Sang Xingjia didn't go with them, so the job of carrying the bamboo basket fell on Sang Yu. Fortunately, the bamboo basket was filled with light bamboo tubes and was not too heavy.
While walking on the road, Sang Yongjing discussed with Sang Yu enthusiastically.
"Yu'er, how much do you think these skewers can sell for today?"
"...Dad, didn't you count the number of strings yesterday? Simply divide by three and multiply by ten to get the amount of money."
Sang Yu was speechless. The matter was clearly right in front of her, but her father had to ask her several more times.
"Hey, I feel like I'm dreaming."
Sang Yongjing carried a shoulder pole on his shoulder, carefully controlling the two buckets to prevent them from shaking around, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
There were almost half as many skewers in the bucket as yesterday, a total of 360 skewers, or 1,200 wen.
He could earn 1,200 wen a day just by selling snacks. Even in the past, when he was still the fourth master of the Sang family, he couldn't believe it.
This was only because the vegetables at home had been used up and the bucket for storing them was too small. Otherwise, it would have been possible to sell nearly 1,500 wen a day, or even 2,000 wen.
Thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered and said hurriedly, "Yu'er, we have to buy more vegetables to take back today."
"That's true. If we don't buy some food, we'll just have to eat plain rice tonight."
Sang Yu nodded in agreement. It was really necessary to buy vegetables. The family was so poor that even mice were unwilling to come to the door.
Because there was nothing in the kitchen except for the garlic and green onion slices with holes pierced through them.
It is said that a good cook cannot cook without rice. No matter how good her cooking skills are, she cannot make a delicious meal with only garlic and onion slices.
