Chapter 108: Calculation
"The total income is three taels of silver and seven hundred coins. Seven hundred coins are the capital, and I can earn one tael of silver every day. Although it doesn't seem much, I can earn thirty taels every month. What's more, I believe it won't be long before they will ask us to add more goods, so the monthly net income will be more than this money. In addition, if we add the money we make from setting up the stall, we can earn every month..." Qin Huiyin tilted her head, her face full of happiness.
Just over one hundred taels...
By the time Mr. Ning, the boss of the roast duck restaurant, placed the order, the amount was far more than that.
One hundred taels in ancient times was enough to provide one with food and clothing for more than ten years without having to lower one's living standards.
Tang Yichen looked at Qin Huiyin who was walking and turning in circles in front of him, his eyes full of doting smiles.
Normally she always looks mature, as if she can handle anything, but only at this time can her childish side be seen.
Song Ruize, carrying the roast duck, followed silently behind them until they got on the ox cart.
Qin Huiyin didn't see Song Ruize after getting on the ox cart. She turned her head to look at Song Ruize under the ox cart and said, "Brother, come on up!"
"I'll go back by myself." Song Ruize said lightly and handed her the things in his hand.
"This is for you." Qin Huiyin said, "You need to build good relationships with the gatekeepers, Yang Baotou and Brother Xiang, and you can divide the rest up as you see fit."
The roast duck they ate was free, but these were all paid for. Although the boss was generous and charged according to the original price, it still cost a lot of money.
"No need." Song Ruize insisted on handing it to her.
"Then throw it away." Qin Huiyin's face fell, and she said to Third Master Tang, "Third Master, let's go. We won't take him with us."
Seeing Song Ruize's silly expression, Tang Sanye said in a good mood, "Okay, we won't give this heartless guy a ride. Let's go!"
Tang Yichen stood on the ox cart, watching Song Ruize's figure gradually disappear. Until it was about to disappear, the ice cube was still looking down at the roast duck in his hand.
He couldn't help but wonder, if Li Taohua remarried with Qin Huiyin, and he and Qin Huiyin no longer had any relationship, would she be as close to him as she was to Song Ruize?
Tang Yichen knocked his head.
I'm such a fool to think such a stupid question.
If Aunt Li really abandons his father, with his father's crazy look, I'm afraid he will do anything stupid. I just hope Aunt Li can see that his father is still obedient and stop making trouble, otherwise, such a beautiful family will be completely broken.
In this case, whether this family can be maintained depends entirely on Aunt Li's mood. Then he should treat Aunt Li better. Even if he can't change his name to mother, he should respect her as his own mother.
The ox cart first took Tang Yichen to the entrance of the academy.
"Brother, you will live here for a month. They will arrange accommodation for you, but will they also prepare the things in your room?"
"Don't worry, everything is prepared." Tang Yichen said, "You don't have to worry about me."
"After all, this is someone else's academy, and it's not convenient for us to go in and visit. So we will send you here, brother." Qin Huiyin handed him several large bags of roast duck.
"Me too?" Tang Yichen only saw Song Ruize's portion and didn't see the other roast ducks.
"Of course, you are all brothers, and you have what he has. Use it to build relationships so that you can integrate into the new circle faster." Qin Huiyin said.
"Aunt Li's place..."
"My mother has some too. There are several more here, enough for us to have another meal in the evening. Third Grandpa didn't drink at noon, and he's been craving for wine. We'll have roast duck and wine in the evening." Qin Huiyin said, and said to Third Grandpa Tang in front of the ox cart, "Third Grandpa, do you want to accompany your old friend today?"
"My old friend doesn't have roast duck, so I'll accompany you today." Mr. Tang San said with a smile.
Tang Yichen laughed: "Okay, thank you sister. But these big bags are not cheap, remember this bill when you go back."
"I'm teaching Sister Luwu how to do accounting. I'll let her do these things in the future." Qin Huiyin said, "Once Sister Luwu has learned how to do accounting, it won't be so easy for others to cheat her."
"Luwu and Yixiao are lucky to have met you." Tang Yichen said sincerely, "I can see that they have made great progress in literacy by learning from you."
"I've sold all the sauce you brought to Boss Ning, so I'll have to put up with you for the next few days. I'll bring you more sauce next time I go into town."
"Don't take too much, save it to sell to Boss Ning. I can't use too much by myself, and if I keep it, I will share it with my classmates. In this case, it's better to make more money for the family."
"Brother, you are going to take the imperial examination, so you can't be so stingy. Your classmates are your future connections, so you must manage the relationships well. I'm leaving, see you later."
Tang Yichen watched Qin Huiyin disappear and muttered to himself, "She is so young but speaks so maturely. If she didn't like to smile silly, I would have thought there was an old demon living inside her."
"Brother Dazhu, don't rush home, stay at my house for dinner."
"Thank you." How could Zhang Dazhu have the nerve to eat their food?
What's more, he was in a hurry to go back and deal with things at home, so he probably wouldn't be in the mood to eat.
On the way home, Qin Huiyin lay in the back of the ox cart. Now it had become her special car, not only with soft hay but also with clean cloth spread on it.
After several hours, they finally returned to the village.
As soon as I entered the village, I heard shouting and cursing. It sounded like two women were arguing over a chicken.
"That's really funny. Just because a chicken is missing from your house, you're going to say my family took it? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Your family killed a chicken, but usually you wouldn't even eat the eggs, you would take them to town to sell, but today you killed the chicken, and my family lost a chicken, and you're saying you didn't steal it and eat it?"
Qin Huiyin woke up from her dream and heard the quarrel. She sat up and leaned on the car railing to look outside.
So, was there any chicken stealing?
As long as you are not the one involved, it is quite fun to be a spectator.
Master Tang San smiled and said, "Girl, are you awake?"
"Third Uncle, thank you for your hard work. You are so old, and you still follow us in and out of the city all day long. Isn't it too tiring?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"What? You don't want to take me with you? That won't work. I want to follow you and enjoy the good life." Master Tang San said, "Don't even think about leaving me behind."
"What I mean is, why don't you teach me how to drive a cart? Next time we go to the city, if you get tired on the way, you can ask someone else to drive. It won't be that tiring if two people drive a cart."
"Even if I have to teach you, I'll teach your father. Why would a little girl like you learn this?" Mr. Tang San said, "It's settled. Tomorrow I'll teach your father how to drive a cart."
"Go back and ask him tonight. If he doesn't want to learn, don't force him."
"Don't spoil him. He's a grown man who can't support his family. Not to mention that he has to let a little girl work hard to support the family, he's not even willing to drive a cart?" Mr. Tang San said, "He has difficulty walking, and driving a cart doesn't require him to walk. Isn't that just the right thing for him to do?"
