Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made calamity, food will always be in high demand and prices will be sky-high. At that time, let alone brewing wine, you might not even be able to buy food to eat.
As for calligraphy brushes, even if people dared to risk entering the city, in times of chaos, the imperial examinations could not be held normally, and academies could not be opened normally. How many people would be willing to buy calligraphy brushes?
We don't know what the market will be like next year, so we can only try to make as much money as possible this winter!
Shuiqing took out the wooden box containing the silver.
I counted them carefully.
They originally had 177 taels of silver. The money for buying bricks and tiles, wages for helpers, bricklayers, and carpenters, and food expenses for more than 20 days... totaled 98 taels.
However, after selling calligraphy brushes three more times in the past twenty days, coupled with the money earned from selling rice wine every day, his savings not only did not decrease but actually increased significantly compared to before.
There were a full three hundred and sixty taels of silver!
Before today, Shuiqing thought she was very wealthy.
He lived in a large courtyard house, owned fields and land, and three small hills. He had a balance of over 170,000 yuan in the shopping mall and over 300 taels of silver in his hands.
There is grain in the warehouse, fresh vegetables in the vegetable garden every day, and forty or fifty chickens, more than ten rabbits, five or six sheep, and three piglets.
Isn't she a true winner in life?
Isn't that enough to deal with next year's floods?
But when I heard the news that war might break out, I suddenly felt that it wasn't enough, not even a little bit, not enough in any way!
Besides vegetables, we don't have enough money, grain, meat, and so on!
The warehouse must be filled to the brim with grain. We should raise plenty of chickens, rabbits, sheep, and pigs. In the next four years, when there will be chaos and looting outside and we can't go out often, we must ensure that the family has enough food.
Even though there's an online store, you still need a cover to take it out, right?
We can't possibly eat rabbit and mutton every few days if we don't have rabbits and sheep, can we?
Fan Jin looked at the loose silver in the wooden box, his eyes lowered in worry, and said, "If things don't go peaceful in the future, it's not safe to keep silver at home."
Shui Qing also knew.
Not to mention the future safety concerns, she's worried even now if she goes out, since three hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money.
I really want to buy a storage cabinet. Not only will it be safe to store money, but I can also put all the vegetables from the garden that I harvest, the rice wine I make that I can't finish, and even the leftovers from slaughtering a pig next year into the storage cabinet.
It can also hold the most important self-defense weapon!
But when she thought of the price of 100,000 yuan per cubic meter, Shui Qing immediately backed down. "If we don't put it at home, there's nowhere to put it. It's not worth it for us to buy a storage cabinet with our current balance."
Would you spend 100,000 to buy a storage cabinet and then put 300 taels of silver in it?
It's better to use a six-digit password to protect a two-digit bank account.
At least the password is free.
"I didn't mean to buy a storage cabinet, I meant that we can't keep all the silver in our house." Fan Jin understood that Shui Qing had misunderstood his words, and explained gently.
Shui Qing understood; this meant that you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket.
Indeed, this is all their wealth; it would be terrible if it were all taken away!
"Then divide it among the five children? That Ling Ran..."
Fan Jin pondered, "Let's share some too. If we get separated or something happens to him later, having some money will greatly increase his chances of survival."
Once the world falls into chaos, we must prepare for the worst.
Shui Qing recalled that even in the 1980s and 90s, people often hid money in their socks or underwear when traveling long distances. Back then, underwear often had a small pocket inside.
But those were banknotes; now this is silver. Socks and underwear are definitely not acceptable.
