"Yes! I asked Dad to count them!"
Cheng Yue nodded.
"Stinky girl!"
Cheng Shun glared at his daughter, then poured out all the silver and copper coins in the money box.
Jiang held the child and watched from the side. The sound of the copper coins falling alone made her very happy.
Cheng Shun started counting like a child learning to count, using the dim light of an oil lamp.
Cheng Yue and Cheng Wen, with their chins in their hands and their elbows on the table, watched their father count the money.
There were only a few of them in the main room. Gu Xuelan was in Xue Hanyu's room, Cheng Jinyan was walking around the village with Mingzhu, Cheng Jinxing followed Shanshui to his house, and Cheng Wu went to drink somewhere again tonight.
“Yes, yes!”
Ning Wazi struggled in Jiang's arms and stretched his hands onto the table.
"Be good, I'll give it to you in a minute! Stop making trouble and let your grandfather count it out!"
Jiang pulled his hand back and said.
"Ning, come here to your aunt!"
Cheng Yue brought the child over, and then the aunt and nephew lay on the table together and stared at Cheng Shun.
"hiss!"
After placing the last copper coin in the place where it was counted, Cheng Shun took a breath.
"How much? Tell me, old man, how much is it?"
Jiang was extremely anxious.
"Three, three hundred and twenty-seven taels and five hundred wen!"
Cheng Shun stared at Cheng Yue with his bright eyes.
"Master, I want it, I want it!"
Ning Wazi finally waited until his grandfather finished counting and stretched out his hand.
"Hahaha, dear grandson, here, here you go!"
Cheng Shun took a string and gave it to Ning Wazi.
Their family's strings of copper coins all have 500 in them, so they are not worried that Ning Wazi will swallow them.
The dishes at Cheng's Private Kitchen are all sold whole. Originally, they were all skewered, except for the ones from the gambling house. Cheng Yue simply opened them all and tried to give his father something to do as a prank.
Look, Cheng Shun stopped scolding and counted the copper coins obediently. He felt very happy after counting. No one in the Cheng family would be scolded tonight.
"Wow! That's so much! Fatty, tell me how much is this capital?"
Jiang was surprised.
"Counting all the costs, the total is only about 150 taels. So, Dad, Mom, we've earned over 170 taels tonight!"
Cheng Yue smiled.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, daddy's dear son, dear daughter, please open your eyes, please open your eyes!"
Cheng Shun was really happy.
It's only been one day, and it's only night time, but I've already lost over 170 taels. It feels like a dream.
"Dad, Mom, we didn't sell many at noon. But I guessed this would happen, so I didn't prepare much. There are still a few chickens left, so I brought them back. Mom, take them to Uncle Lizheng and Uncle Dagen's house tomorrow and give two to each of them. We can eat the rest by ourselves."
Cheng Yue said.
"Okay, okay! It's hot, you've already taken care of it, it won't stay there for long."
Jiang nodded repeatedly.
Cheng Shun wanted to be stingy and not give it, but when he thought about what Jiang said, he shut up.
"Dad, Mom, my brother and I have been eating dinner and lunch at the store these days, but business will pick up in a few days, and we'll have to eat dinner at home. Mom, please remember to save some for us then!"
Cheng Yue said again.
"Of course! You don't know, tonight you, Awen, and the three kids are eating at the restaurant, while the old couple of us and your sister-in-law Hanyu are eating at home. I don't know where that brat Awen has gone. It doesn't feel lively at all. I'm not used to it."
Jiang said.
