Hua Xinuo explained: "Mom, we have no choice but to run a small business like this now."
"Because our boat is small, we can't fit a lot of things in it."
"But now that we live in a house with such a spacious yard, we can put a lot of things in it. With plenty of space, we can start other businesses."
“It makes more money than making food, and it can be stored longer.”
Qiu Wenqin was still thinking about how to live frugally, but when she heard her daughter say this, her heart almost skipped a beat.
My daughter seems so confident and calm, could there be better business opportunities?
In fact, she thinks making braised food and sausage is already very good.
She felt very happy if she could earn one or two taels of silver every day.
But the expenses of building a house, buying things and paying for the head of the family's education are indeed huge.
Hua Xinuo smiled and said, "I'll think about it first, Mom. You'll know when the time comes. Don't worry."
In fact, Hua Xinuo thinks that business such as rouge and powder is the most profitable.
She had previously looked at a stall selling rouge and powder, and saw that the most ordinary pickled ones cost several taels of silver per box.
The key point is that many women would bargain hard when buying food and would not be willing to spend a penny more, but they are willing to spend money on rouge.
There are also toiletries.
At this time, most people used soapberries picked from the mountains.
They all use soapberries to wash their mouths and clothes.
The bath beans and scented soaps used by high-ranking officials are expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
And those facial creams and lip balms are also very expensive.
The cheapest small box costs a few hundred coins.
No matter what era, everyone has a love for beauty.
Moreover, the lip balms here are more single in color, but Hua Xinuo can make lip balms of various colors.
Once these are sold, you can make money quickly.
When my dad was studying, he didn’t have to be so tight-fisted with daily expenses.
They can also afford good writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
Dad doesn't have to be too frugal when it comes to using pens, ink, paper, and inkstone for writing.
Looking at her daughter's confident and calm expression, Qiu Wenqin didn't know why, but her heart relaxed and she felt that she didn't have to worry about anything.
Given my daughter's ability, she must be confident in saying this.
Hua Hanbin came up and said, "Sister, if you've made up your mind, tell your second brother and he will help with the work."
Hua Xinuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely need Second Brother's help."
Hua Hanmao also added: "And me!"
Hua Xinuo nodded and said, "Okay."
Some things can actually be bought in advance.
The whole family sitting together and talking made Hua Xinuo feel very warm.
It will make her feel warm inside.
…
On the other side, Lin Song moored his boat next to his parents' boat, and then got on their boat.
When Liu saw her son coming back, she smiled happily and said, "Dinner is just ready, come and eat."
"Vegetable pancakes made from cornmeal."
"It's wrapped in shepherd's purse."
"Your Aunt Qiu told me that shepherd's purse can be used to make dumplings, buns, and pies."
Speaking of this, Liu's face was full of smiles.
Recently, I learned from Miss Qiu that there are many things to eat.
Things like willow buds, locust flowers, and some mushrooms are all edible.
She would go to the mountains to dig some on weekdays, so she didn't have to spend money to buy them.
Every penny saved counts.
Lin Zhengtao also said with emotion: "Now, thanks to your Uncle Hua and Aunt Qiu, our family's life is starting to get better."
Liu was now willing to talk. "Of course not. We have a fixed income every day, plus we can earn money from fishing. If we work hard, we can save at least one or two taels of silver every month."
"I can only save twelve taels of silver in a year."
"I heard from Miss Qiu that Xinghua Village is pretty good. One mu of residential land costs six taels of silver. Let's buy a piece of land and build a simple wooden house. It would be nice to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Lin Zhengtao nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that in other villages, buying a piece of residential land costs eight or nine taels of silver. That's expensive."
"And we have to pay the village head, but I didn't expect Xinghua Village doesn't have to pay."
Liu took over the conversation and said, "I really didn't expect there was a place like Xinghua Village. It's also because we didn't ask around and didn't know about it."
"If we can build a house in the village in the future, we can go to Xinghua Village. With Brother Hua and Sister Qiu around, we can feel more at ease."
Lin Song washed his hands and sat down and said, "Mom and Dad, I fish in the morning and clean pig offal in the afternoon, so I can earn more."
Uncle Hua told him that he just needed to go to Zhujia Village in the afternoon to get the pig offal for cleaning.
He had made a lot of mess recently, so he thought of cleaning it a few more times to make it clean before coming back in the evening.
Catch some fish in the morning to earn some money, and you can make more money in a day.
Days like this are promising.
"The two big fish you caught this morning, plus all I caught all day, sold for over sixty coins."
It has to be said that ever since Brother Hua gave them the job of cleaning pig offal and paid them a fixed wage of thirty cents a day, the pressure on their family has been less.
Even if you don’t catch any fish one day, you don’t have to worry.
Lin Song said: "Uncle Hua and Aunt Qiu both said that life is going to be better. As long as the family works together, life will always be good."
"But I also know that our family is now well-off thanks to Uncle Hua's support, so I will do my best."
Every time Lin Song cleans pig offal, he scrubs it vigorously, not afraid of the smell or the dirt.
You won’t find such a job anywhere.
So he knew in his heart that he would do his job well.
Lin Zhengtao saw that his son had become more motivated and was no longer the same as before.
He always looked depressed and lonely before.
