Chapter 203 It turns out that earning money feels so good!
The younger generation of the Lei family is just kind-hearted, not stupid, and they will not be stubborn when it comes to their own safety!
They didn't understand before, but now that Shen Qing has explained it, everyone understands. How could they be so stupid as to give money?
"Uncle San, we didn't realize how serious it was before. Now that we know, we certainly won't do anything rash."
"We must listen to Auntie! We must do whatever she tells us to do!"
.....
Seeing that everyone understood, Shen Qing gently said, "Okay, move the herbs in. We still have time to get to the next place."
The younger generations responded with vigor and vitality: "Hey, good!"
"Auntie, I'm afraid you weigh 500 kilograms, right?"
“A lot.”
Shen Qing smiled and said, "It's a harvest of several days. It's mainly because we are on flat ground, which is easier to dig. Unlike you, who are on the mountain, you are at a disadvantage."
In fact, it was far more than that. She sold the bulk of it to the shopping mall. After all, the shopping mall offered 121 kilograms, and refined rice and flour were only one or two yuan per kilogram, so of course she had to give priority to supplying the shopping mall.
Moreover, she had looted a small box of gold and silver from Boss Sun and Second Brother Song. Adding this to her own earnings, she had more than enough cash. Selling less to the pharmacy would not affect her earnings at all.
"It's not a loss. We dug more than 200 kilograms in the mountains in two days. How can we lose anything?" Liu Cuihua said happily.
Moreover, they could continue digging on the mountain for a month or so. She found it unbelievable just thinking about it.
The man from the Lei family carried a sack and the group entered the pharmacy.
When they came out again, Shen Qing had an extra thirty-five taels of silver on him, and Liu Cuihua had an extra eighteen taels of silver on her.
When Liu Cuihua stepped out of the door, she almost tripped, but Shen Qing was close and quick to help her: "Be careful!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Cuihua murmured.
Shen Qing was just about to ask some of the younger generation to help him when he turned around and saw that all the men of the Lei family had dazed expressions.
Even more exaggerated than Liu Cuihua!
Shen Qing had no choice but to help Liu Cuihua along until they sat down in front of the wonton stall next to the medicine shop. He called out to the owner, "Bring me seven bowls of small wontons with fresh meat and fourteen dried mustard greens pancakes."
Lei Sanfu instinctively refused: "There are too many aunts, we can just have one pancake each."
"No, just fourteen with wontons. Mom will pay for this meal!" Liu Cuihua came back to her senses and shouted.
Then he turned to Shen Qing and said, "Shen Qing, eat as much as you want! Don't save money for me!"
She is terribly rich now!
Eighteen taels of silver. Even if it is divided among three families, each family can get six taels of silver.
This is only two days' income. There are still two days left at home, no, including today, there are still three days' harvest left to sell.
No wonder every household was drying astragalus before, and everyone was smiling and generously buying food, chickens, ducks, geese, bricks and tiles...
She wants to shop now too!
The other men woke up as if from a dream and finally remembered how much they had earned this time.
It cost a total of eighteen taels of silver. More than ten men went to the mountains and spent five or six days to harvest, and if they were lucky, they could only harvest more than twenty taels.
Every time I go into the mountains, I have to rest for many days after coming back before I have the strength to go in a second time.
And my mother, aunt and sisters earned eighteen taels in just two days?
"Auntie, you are amazing!" Lei Daming couldn't help but praise her.
Shen Qing looked confused. Shouldn't they praise Liu Cuihua and other people who worked hard?
She looked at Liu Cuihua, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, the latter's face was full of praise and deep approval, and his voice was full of pride: "Shen Qing is thanks to you, I would never have dared to think about it in the past!"
After that, he taught his younger generation: "Learn more from your Aunt Shen Qing in the future! People with ability can not only survive anywhere, but also live well."
"good!"
Shen Qing: ....She is almost becoming a role model.
*
They had wontons and sesame cakes for lunch, and after eating they split into three groups.
Shen Qing went to the "rice shop", Liu Cuihua and Lei Sanfu went to the cloth shop, and Lei Laosan took the rest to buy pork, vegetable oil and sesame oil - originally they were buying them for Shen Qing, but after the medicinal herbs were successfully sold, the three families decided to buy some as well.
Of course they are not short of meat, so there is no need to buy pork, but game has little fat and cannot be boiled into much oil, so all they buy is vegetable oil.
Originally, I only wanted to buy three to five kilograms, but when I thought of Shen Qing buying fifty kilograms each, I immediately adjusted it to ten kilograms of vegetable oil and five kilograms of sesame oil.
I heard from Shen Qing that using sesame oil to mix vegetables is refreshing and delicious.
They wanted to try how delicious it was.
Then they went to buy pork. They never expected that Shen Qing, who made a lot of money, was so frugal. It would have been fine if he bought pig heads, ribs, pig trotters, and large bones, which had little meat but were all bones, but he even bought pig intestines, pig livers, pig kidneys and other pig offal!
And these are all eaten by our family.
The fat and lean meat were said to be snacks for the villagers who came to help, so they were allowed to buy as much as they wanted, and the ones they couldn't finish in time could be made into smoked meat.
This is no longer about saving, but about suffering for yourself and treating others better...
Over there, Liu Cuihua brought the third child into the cloth shop.
Originally, I thought that the three families could use the fine cotton cloth sent by Shen Qing to make underwear, and then buy a piece of coarse cotton cloth to make underwear for the girls. After asking about the price of the coarse cotton cloth, I immediately decided to buy two pieces from each family!
I can make two sets of cotton clothes for everyone in the family.
She must have hesitated over the original price of six or seven cents per piece, and finally bought the linen at four cents per piece.
But now that I have eighteen taels of silver in my hand, I immediately feel that it is not too expensive to buy a horse at six or seven cents!
Lei Sanfu tugged at Liu Cuihua's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, aren't two too many? Just make them for our sisters. We don't want them.
Besides, running around in the mountains, even good fabric can’t withstand the scratches of branches and bushes, so it’s a waste of good fabric.”
Liu Cuihua patted her son's hand soothingly. "This is for wearing inside. The weather has turned cooler. The cotton cloth is made and it is comfortable to wear next to the skin. You can try it too."
She then said to the waiter, "Give me nine more pieces of linen and eighty kilograms of cotton."
The linen was theirs, and with three pieces of it per family, it was no problem for each person to make three sets of clothes;
The cotton was bought for Shen Qing.
Her family's previous coats, quilts and mattresses were not only tattered but also black, dirty and hardened. She said she wanted to replace them all.
A thin coat requires one pound of cotton, but it is cold in Jincheng, so they need to wear at least one and a half pounds of cotton when going out, and they also need to wear a padded jacket and cotton trousers inside, so two to two and a half pounds of cotton are needed for the whole set.
Each person has at least two, which is five kilograms.
There are nine adults and two children in Shen Qing's family, and the clothes they make weigh about 50 kilograms.
Shen Qing's family has a kang, so the quilt doesn't need to be too thick, about four or five pounds will do... Among the nine adults, only a couple can cover themselves with one quilt, and the two little kids should also have their own small quilts. The rest doesn't seem to be enough.
"Waiter, add another twenty kilograms of cotton!"
After a brisk shopping spree, excluding Shen Qing's money, Liu Cuihua calculated that her own two pieces of cotton cloth and three pieces of linen cloth cost her more than three taels of silver.
He spent only a little more than half of the silver and bought all the clothes for his family from head to toe.
It turns out that earning money feels so good!
