Aunt Fang did not join in this small business.
She wanted to go, but Cheng Kang felt that the wind was too strong by the river, and Aunt Fang was not in better health than Cheng Minhong.
Aunt Fang felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, so she naturally decided not to go. Instead, she asked her other daughter Cheng Minyu to go with her.
At the same time, Cheng Minliang's two children also had to go with them.
Cheng Jinyan Academy was on holiday, but Cheng Jinxing Office was not, so Cheng Jinyan and Ji Minghao accompanied them to the dock to sell food.
…
Soon, it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The number of people on the street had reached the highest point of the year. It could be said that it was packed with people.
Cheng Minhong and the others were not worried about being squeezed, so they set up benches and wooden boards at the entrance of the tavern, which was slightly larger than the previous stall.
The tavern had already posted a notice on the 27th that it would be closed and would not reopen until after the Lantern Festival next year.
Therefore, Cheng Minhong and others can use the store freely.
"Sister Yue, Sister Hanyu, let's work overtime tonight and get more done. I asked the old men, and they said that on New Year's Eve, almost no one is around before noon. So, let's go find some and prepare some supplies tomorrow morning. I asked a lot of people today, and they said that there are people in their village who specifically wait for New Year's Eve morning to buy things. What do you think?"
In the evening, Cheng Minhong discussed with Xue Hanyu and Cheng Yue.
"Just make as much as usual! You should come back early after you finish selling. Dad told uncle that we all need to be here tomorrow afternoon. When you finish selling, come back and we'll settle the bill and divide the money. Then you can rest for a while. It's just the right time!"
Cheng Yue thought for a moment and said.
"Ah? But I want to make a lot of money!"
Cheng Minhong has become addicted to making money recently.
"When I unload the goods next year, I will help you make money!"
Cheng Yue smiled helplessly.
"discharge?"
Cheng Minhong didn't react at first.
Cheng Yue pointed to her belly.
"Hahahaha, Sister Yue, you're so funny! This is my nephew, what do you mean by goods?"
Cheng Minhong burst into laughter.
"How do you know it's your nephew?"
Cheng Yue asked curiously.
"I like nephews! I don't like nieces at all. Look at my nephew Jin Yan and nephew Jin Xing, they all listen to me! All our grandchildren are boys, and they don't deserve anyone's love. If a girl shows up, well, I, your aunt, will only be bullied!"
Cheng Minhong said seriously.
Cheng Yue curled her lips.
What you said makes a lot of sense and I am speechless.
In the end, Cheng Yue didn't ask for overtime and still made the usual amount. She also left some for the children when relatives came to visit during the Chinese New Year.
The Cheng family doesn’t have many relatives, but the Jiang family has quite a few relatives, and there are also quite a few children there.
…
The 30th day of the 12th lunar month, the 22nd year of Jinghe, was New Year’s Eve.
That day, Cheng Minhong and her friends went out and came back soon after selling all their things.
Except for Cheng Jinxing Mingzhu who was on duty at the yamen and Cheng Jinyan who was writing couplets in his study, the other four partners, plus Cheng Minyu who came to help later, and Cheng Minliang's two sons were all there.
Cheng Yue asked them to count the copper coins in the money box, and then took out the silver they had earned that month.
After finishing a few small numbers, Cheng Yue added them up and the total came to nine thousand three hundred and twenty-nine taels, six qian and thirty-two wen.
This is after deducting costs, because after they sell on the first day, they buy materials with the income from that day.
