Chapter 35 Paying wages
Jiang Xiangnan quickly found a place, which was a dead end alley. He just blocked the entrance of the alley so that outsiders could not see what was happening inside the alley.
At this moment, Shen Qing was extremely grateful to Shopkeeper Lin for his thoughtfulness.
She took out a hundred coins, counted them, and said, "Xiangnan, you worked for six days and polished a total of 180. Here, this is 180 coins."
They are not selling all of them today, they are just sending them together as a whole. Moreover, the progress of each step is different, and the speed of their hands and feet is also different, so the number of sticks for each person is different.
Jiang Xiangnan yelled, and ran over to take it with a happy look on his face.
I couldn't wait to wipe them clean before putting them in my pockets.
Jiang Xiangbei couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Don't wipe it anymore. It will be used soon. It won't help even if you wipe it clean!"
Jiang Xiangnan snorted, "I've decided not to use it! I can't bear to spend the money I earned with great difficulty. I want to keep it warm, count it every night before going to bed, and count it again when I wake up in the morning."
When he didn't make money, he wanted to buy this and that, but now that he made money, he couldn't bear to spend the heavy copper coins in his hands.
Wow, so many copper coins, all belong to him!
Jiang Xiangbei opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Jiang Shui laughed out loud: "Don't worry about Third Brother, he will definitely buy it when he sees him on the road later."
Jiang Xiangbei had an expression that said, "Little sister is right."
Finally, Shen Qing told them to pack their things quickly and be careful of pickpockets. Jiang Xiangnan was so scared that he hurriedly packed up and went to the entrance of the alley, carefully checking around.
Jiang Xiangbei was not as quick as Jiang Xiangnan and earned 172 coins.
Jiang Xiangnan's smile deepened after hearing this.
Although he is happy to make money, he is even happier because his brothers don’t make as much as he does!
Guan Li came late but worked quickly, earning two hundred and forty cents in six days, which shocked the two brothers.
Jiang Xiangnan muttered quietly: "If Mom let us work all day, I would definitely earn more than her!"
Hey, why doesn’t mom let him do it all day?
It’s not good for him to make more money.
"Don't think about it. Mother said that fish, shrimp and eels are also very important. Once the rest of the process is completed, Mother will definitely let us work for a whole day." Jiang Xiangbei comforted his third brother while comforting himself at the same time.
Jiang Shui's job was different from others', and he was paid three hundred coins.
Jiang Xiangnan almost cried after hearing this.
He began to mutter quietly again: "No matter how much Xiaoshan gets later, I won't envy him or be jealous. I really can't do the work he is responsible for!
Why is it that I just can’t do it even though I have hands?”
Whenever he tied the thread, it was either loose or tight. If it was too loose, the hair would fall off, and if it was too tight, it would deform directly. If the inspection was obviously not up to standard, then all the previous steps would be in vain!
Therefore, the one at Guan Xiaoshan is the most important, and if it is destroyed, the loss will be the greatest.
Jiang Xiangbei thought about how Shopkeeper Lin pulled the pen tip back and forth repeatedly when inspecting the goods, but he didn't have any objections at all. Xiaoshan was really amazing!
He nodded in agreement!
My mother gave Xiaoshan two cents for each coin because she was clearly aware of the difficulty of this step.
"Xiaoshan, your two cents for each one, you did it quickly and well. This time it's four hundred and twenty cents. Count them."
When Shen Qing said this, everyone's jaw dropped.
Jiang Xiangnan was really about to cry.
"Did I hear correctly? Xiaoshan is actually 420 wen. Wow, we are both human, why is there such a big difference?"
It was bigger than a person or a dog. He knew the hill would be high, but he didn't know it would be this high!
He was wrong just now. It's not that he wasn't envious. In fact, he was very envious. At the same time, he blamed himself for not being able to do it.
Guan Xiaoshan himself was also shocked.
More than four hundred coins, even if it were my dad, it would take him many days to earn it. He only did it in six days, so he earned almost as much as my dad?
The main reason he went there was for his sister. He thought that his sister would marry Brother Xiangxi in the future. Would it make it difficult for his sister to stay in the Jiang family if he took so much at once?
He looked at his sister.
Guan Li was also shocked.
She has already earned two hundred and forty coins, which is 40 coins a day. This income is more than what the most capable man in the village earns!
Now Xiaoshan earns more than 400 Wen directly. She knows that her aunt makes a lot of money by selling brushes, but that is because her aunt is good and has nothing to do with them.
"Aunt"
Guan Li had just started talking when Shen Qing interrupted her: "We agreed on a price, so we won't change it.
We have a lot of things to buy today, and we can't waste any more time;
Buy it sooner and go back sooner so you can make a few more. The delivery will be in six days. Did you remember? "
Guan Li and Guan Xiaoshan silently accepted the heavy copper coins, and then Guan Xiaoshan said happily to the others, "What do you want to eat? It's my treat!"
Shen Qing rolled his eyes at his two sons and said, "As older brothers, how could they let their younger brothers treat them, not to mention treating them to a meal? Besides, they also earn wages."
Guan Xiaoshan said cheerfully, "My brothers and sisters have worked hard to take care of me today, and I think it's only right that I treat them."
Shen Qing looked at Xiaoshan twice. The kid didn't say that he earned a lot and was treating everyone; nor did he say that the third and fourth brothers were tired of pulling him over, but he said that they had worked hard to take care of him, so they also brought Jiang Shui in.
What a thoughtful child.
She no longer insisted and joked with a smile: "Okay, let's go!"
This time was even more exciting and thrilling than going out in the morning.
In the morning, I was thinking about selling brushes. Even though I was happy, I felt depressed, fearing that the joy would turn into sorrow.
But now I have nothing to worry about, but my pockets are full of silver and money, which makes me feel very safe.
It feels good to have money in your pocket.
Several people thought of this at the same time, and then decided to work hard when they got back and earn more money!
·
With a cart and two strong laborers, Jiang Xiangnan and Jiang Xiangbei, Shen Qing did not hesitate at all and took the opportunity to buy everything he wanted.
We first went to the butcher shop and settled the brush business, which unexpectedly gave us some good deals. The sun had risen a lot, and we were afraid that if we were any later, the pork would be sold out.
No one had any objection to buying pork first.
Guan Li had not originally planned to buy meat, but after receiving her wages, she and her brother had a total of 660 coins, so they immediately decided to buy a few pounds.
When we arrived at the pork stall, it was not too late. Except for the cheap pig offal and pig heads, there were still some other things left.
"I want all the remaining pork fat, six pounds of pork belly, five pounds of pork tenderloin, three pounds of spare ribs, two pig's trotters, and one pig's trotter shoulder." Shen Qing finished speaking in one breath.
Jiang Shui pulled Shen Qing's sleeve and reminded her, "Mom, can we finish eating?"
The weather is not as cold as in winter now. It would be a waste if the food went bad after five or six days. It would also be too much if we finished it in five or six days.
Shen Qing waved his hand and said, "Make the leftovers into bacon or smoked meat and save them for later."
In fact, it is to prepare for the journey of escape. We will have to sleep in the open air and eat one meal a day. In addition, the weather is hot in summer, and fresh meat will not last long and cannot be bought often. We must prepare more meat and eggs that are easy to preserve to supplement nutrition.
Start making it now and accumulate slowly, and your days on the road will be much easier than those of others.
