Although Gu Rong didn't finish speaking, Gu Xing thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.
For my mother-in-law and her family, this was indeed a considerable income, which would be beneficial for their life after the family division.
Besides, cooking every day is quite tiring, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, but my parents might not agree."
Gu Rong thought about it and realized that if she gave the money directly to Aunt Yihua and the others, they definitely wouldn't want it.
But if you say you're helping your sister-in-law, they'll definitely be willing to help even without money: "Then say this job is for your sister-in-law."
We invited them over to help out. They don't have money, but we'll feed them. We'll make up the difference after they separate their households. You can talk to your sister-in-law about that.
"Sure, sure, I'll talk to your sister-in-law later," Gu Xing said with a smile as he walked up to Chu Jianshu and the others, settling the matter.
They didn't sign a contract for the cooking, but the group paid on the spot.
Gu Xing and Han Xinyi originally thought that Cao Baobao and Pu Tao would share five yuan, and Chu Jianshu and Li Chengyang would share five yuan.
But seeing that no one was offering them the five yuan, the two hesitated to accept it.
Gu Rong, however, remained calm, took the money from the others, and stuffed it into Han Xinyi's hand: "Sister-in-law, take it. I won't be very generous."
With Gu Rong's evasive response, the matter was considered settled.
Taking the opportunity, Gu Rong took out the contract and had Cao Baobao sign it as well.
Then the group went back and helped Cao Baobao move.
Both parties were happy about paying someone to cook for them.
After all, this amount of money is nothing to a few people with deep financial resources; in fact, they are the ones who benefited.
For Han Xinyi, earning ten yuan a day by cooking is already considered a high income.
After all, twenty yuan a month is two hundred and forty yuan a year.
You have to understand that for someone like Gu Xing, who works in the fields in the village, after deducting the grain allocated for sustenance, he would only receive thirty to fifty yuan a year at the end of the year.
Moreover, cooking is something she can do quickly by coming back from the fields early each day, together with her mother and sister.
It doesn't affect my work or cooking, so it's like earning two salaries.
Thinking about it this way, you realize that 240 is really a lot, even quite a lot.
After the others left, Han Xinyi gave the money to Gu Xing.
Gu Xing took the money and took out fifteen yuan to give to Gu Rong: "Xiao Rong, we don't have coupons to buy meat, so let's exchange some with you."
You're quite lucky; you often manage to bring back pheasants and the like. We charge for the meals we cook, so you can't refuse to pay.
So I thought about it and decided to give you this fifteen yuan. From now on, you'll be in charge of the meat at home. You don't need much each day, just about half a pound will do.
Now, a pound of pork costs only 73 cents if you have a ration coupon, but it's much more expensive if you don't. A pound costs one dollar on the black market.
Gu Rong had shown Gu Xing a lot of various national invoices before, but Gu Xing didn't want them.
The family rarely buys meat, mainly because they don't get enough rest, and they rely on the meat that Gu Rong catches on the mountain for food.
Pheasants and rabbits, though not as expensive as pork, still fetched over 60 cents on the black market, and around 90 cents without a ration coupon.
At the price without a ticket, half a pound of pork every day would cost fifteen yuan a month.
However, Gu Rong was lucky and often caught wild rabbits when she went up the mountain. She would eat them sparingly, and a rabbit weighing five or six pounds could last her two or three days.
So, fifteen yuan is a profit overall.
However, Gu Rong didn't accept the money. Instead, she looked coldly at Gu Xing and said, "Brother, according to what you're saying, should I also pay for your rent, cooking, and laundry?"
Gu Xing glared at her: "You're my sister, we're family, how can I take your money? You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
"That settles it then. We're family, and it's not like I won't eat the meat."
Besides, apart from occasionally catching wild rabbits, I don't need to do any housework, such as laundry, cooking, or cleaning.
"If I really calculated it that precisely, I don't know how much money I'd have to give my sister-in-law every month," so Gu Rong grabbed the money and stuffed it all into Han Xinyi's hand.
"Sister-in-law, you can keep this money. The meat I brought back is like a supplement to the family income."
However, you don't need to have pork at every meal. Fish, shrimp, and snails from the water aren't considered meat, but they taste good too.
Upon hearing Gu Rong's words, their eyes lit up instantly.
Gu Xing smiled and said, "Xiao Rong is right, the fish and shrimp are good, but the snails? Those things are small and fishy and don't taste good."
Thinking about the spicy snails she had just eaten a while ago, Gu Rong wanted to immediately go into her room and show off two more bowls.
Gu Ren, drooling, said, "It's delicious, it's just that you don't know how to cook it. Tomorrow afternoon, we'll get some and cook it the way I tell you, and it will definitely taste just as good."
The stewed rabbit I made before was done according to Gu Rong's instructions, and it tasted better than any he had made before.
The fish I bought before also had no fishy smell at all.
Gu Xing believed Gu Rong's method: "Okay, after lunch tomorrow, I'll take you to catch them. I know where there are plenty."
Thinking about the delicious snails, Gu Rong couldn't sleep again that night. She bought a bowl of spicy snails and ate them while reading a novel.
Later, they discovered that the Han family had mobilized and were running up the mountain, and Gu Rong followed them with another great harvest.
This time, Han Yanru seemed to be on a high. Even though she hadn't found anything, she still wandered around the mountain all night until dawn before returning home.
After making sure they were all asleep, Gu Rong went home to rest.
She had planned to sleep soundly for a long time, but her biological clock messed up, and she woke up around 11 a.m.
