So, everyone in the Jiang family took a hemp rope and started stringing the copper coins together.
Everyone had a smile on their face as they carefully strung the copper coins in their hands.
It has to be said that although Grandma Jiang is usually not good at threading needles, she can string coins faster than anyone else.
Sure enough, Uncle Jiang had just finished stringing one string of copper coins when the old lady was almost finished stringing the second one.
With everyone's combined efforts, the copper coins on the table were quickly strung together.
Uncle Jiang couldn't help but start calculating.
"A string of them!"
Two strings!
Three strings!
......
"Ten, nineteen strings!" Uncle Jiang's voice suddenly rose, and the end of his voice was a little unsteady.
“One string contains one hundred copper coins, so nineteen strings would be one thousand nine hundred copper coins. And here are some more,” Jiang Xun quickly counted the scattered copper coins on the table that had not yet been strung together, “twenty-five of them are scattered here.”
"Two, two strings of cash! Almost two strings of cash!" Old Mrs. Jiang said in disbelief, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly agape.
"You can earn almost two strings of cash a day, so how much would that be in a month?" Old Mrs. Jiang scratched her head, unable to calculate it.
Jiang Xun quickly replied, "That's about sixty strings of cash a month."
"Sixty strings of cash! Our family can earn sixty taels of silver a month! Good heavens, am I dreaming?" Old Mrs. Jiang was so excited that she could hardly sit still, and she stammered as she spoke.
"Granddaughter, after deducting costs, how much net profit do we make?"
"Well, the cost is less than 100 coins, and the net profit is more than 1,800 coins."
The Jiang family members were instantly overwhelmed with immense joy.
"Wouldn't our family be the richest in the village by then?"
"More than that, I think he's richer than everyone in town!"
"Wow, does this mean our family will never have to eat coarse grains and wild vegetables again, and we can eat whole grains and brown rice every meal, and even meat every meal?"
"Waaah, that's great. From now on, our family will never have to live such a miserable life of not having enough to eat and not knowing if we'll live day to day again."
......
Seeing everyone's excitement, Jiang Wanwan had a mischievous idea and couldn't resist teasing them.
"Something like mosquito coils, if you buy one roll and use it sparingly, it can last for three to five days. If we sell them for a few more days, the money we earn each day will probably decrease a bit."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their grins instantly vanishing as they looked at her with worried expressions.
"What should we do then? Eldest granddaughter, how much less is less?" Grandma Jiang put her hand to her chest and looked at her with a worried expression.
Jiang Wanwan frowned, and Old Madam Jiang almost couldn't catch her breath.
"Granddaughter, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already. Grandma can handle it."
"Well, even if it's just a little over a tael of silver, it should be more than one tael. Plus, with the orders from other shops, we should be able to earn thirty to fifty taels a month."
!!
Why is this girl so annoying?!
I just want to beat her up!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, you scared me to death! I thought we'd only be able to earn a few coins a day. Thirty or fifty taels of silver a month is a lot. In the past, our family would never have dared to dream of such a thing."
"That's right. Even if we only earn five taels of silver a month, we'll still have sixty taels a year. That's quite a lot."
Seeing their relaxed expressions, Jiang Wanwan sighed again, "Don't be too optimistic. Mosquitoes only exist in summer and autumn; there are no mosquitoes in winter."
By then, we won't have earned a single penny.
Let's not let them get too cocky. Getting too cocky is bad and can easily lead to problems!
