Chapter 17
Lin Yuzhu stopped the work, looked up at Li He'er, knowing what Li He'er was worried about, and comforted him: "This time my brother came back and could get at least five taels of silver. In addition, we made a total of about twelve taels of silver. Today, these can be sold for four or five taels of silver. Sister-in-law, think about how long it took for us to make these more than ten taels of silver before. Now there are many people following the trend. I probably can't sell them at a high price. I estimate that the price of frosted hawthorn will definitely drop tomorrow."
Li He'er was comforted by Lin Yuzhu and came to her senses: "I'm so greedy and dissatisfied. Our family has made enough money." The more she thought about it, the more she felt guilty. She thought that things were not as thorough as Lin Yuzhu. She only had the small profits in front of her, but Lin Yuzhu was looking at the overall situation.
For example, what happened recently was expected by Lin Yuzhu. Since Lin Yuzhu said that she would reduce the price, it also means that more and more people will follow the trend in the future, and business will become more and more difficult to do.
Lin Yuzhu smiled and comforted: "Everyone has worked hard recently. Let's see if there are any other small businesses. If there is no suitable business, take a good rest. What's more, I haven't had a confinement period yet, so many things are inconvenient. When I'm out of confinement, I'll go to the city to see if there are any suitable business opportunities."
She was not anxious. She had been penniless and anxious to make money when she went home. She happened to think of the candied haws business. It was enough to make a fortune at home to improve her life and plan something else. Besides, what she is best at is medical skills.
Li He'er doesn't like people who are confused. She understands some things and then lets go when she understands them.
For some reason, she felt at ease with Lin Yuzhu and her family would get better and better.
Lin Yushu and the others came back in the evening, and Lynch was also coming back with him.
Originally, Lynch should have come back yesterday, but he was shy and had more than a dozen strings left. Later, thinking that he was not good at doing business like this, he decided to stay and learn from Lin Yushu, so he came back with him.
Lin Yuzhu saw Lin Qi turning home happily, while Lin Yushu happily led a cow into the yard. His excited look made Lin Yuzhu guess what happened and smiled and said, "Brother, I bought the cow."
The farmland at home is dug by manual digging, and few families with cattle in the village. During the busy farming season, families with cattle will rent cattle. Their families are poor and never willing to rent cattle to plow the land. They always rely on their hands to dig the land. Not only is the slow efficiency, it is also very hard.
Lin Yushu’s biggest dream is to have a cow and a horse, so that he can rent cows and plow land during busy farming, and he can drive a carriage to make money during slack farming.
Lin Yuzhu knew about these things. Now she was very happy to see Lin Yushu coming back from buying cows.
Lin Yushu smiled honestly, tied the cow to a stone beside the wall, and carried a bundle of straw to feed the cow. Then he entered the house with satisfaction.
Zhang Bihua and Lin Laoshi had already put their backpacks on the edge of the fire.
The three of them were all happy: "The one who bought the bulls in Yuzhu was the money for selling candied haws. I'll give it to you later."
Lin Yuzhu glanced at Zhang Bihua. She knew that her family had never thought about selling candied haws, but she had long planned that the money must be divided by the head, which was for family harmony.
He complained: "Mom, you're not here again, why don't you sell candied haws? Isn't that money for everyone? I don't like to listen to you, let's talk about it, it's a big deal for my brother to buy cows."
Lin Yushu rubbed his hands into the house and said happily: "This time I found a bargain. This bull costs four taels of silver, which should have been sold for five or six taels of silver."
Cattle in this era are very valuable things. For farmers, having a cow at home is a family that is extremely easy to live. For ordinary families, five or six taels of silver may not be able to save it in seven or eight years.
After all, there is not much money left in a year, and the family still has to spend money. If someone gets sick, the money will be even more impatient.
A cow that is as big as a silver bull, looks like an adult bull, which is indeed very cheap.
"How did you meet it?" Lin Yuzhu said curiously.
Lin Yushu said happily: "It's my luck to say that. Today, the Fucheng City not only sells candied haws, but also sells frosted hawthorns. Not to mention the people in our village, there are also many strange faces. You can meet five or six candied haws on the street."
He had been mentally prepared for these things, and he was not in a hurry to see so many candied haws, and his mentality was very stable!
After pausing, he continued, "I was occupied by someone before, so I could only go around the streets and sell it. Then I saw a little girl crying so hard that she was alone again, so I went up to ask, and gave the girl a candied haws to eat. Then I asked the girl where her family was. The girl was old and didn't know the novel of the girl's age. She asked her patiently for a long time before she found out that the little girl came out to play alone, but she couldn't find the way back. So I took the girl to look for it, and then found it in the bull market. As a result, the girl sold the cow."
What happened next was natural. The girl's family wanted to thank Lin Yushu for the silver, but Lin Yushu said nothing, so the family finally proposed to give the cow to Lin Yushu. After Lin Yushu refused, he finally agreed and spent four taels of silver to buy the cow outside.
It sounds a bit dreamy, but in fact, Lin Yushu was thanked for doing good deeds.
Lin Yuzhu nodded and said, "The boss has a conscience."
Zhang Bihua glared at Lin Yuzhu and said, "Why are you talking about the same thing as your father? How can our family take advantage of others? I said that Yushu would make up for the money and help the children go home. This is a trivial matter. Anyone who encounters it will help you. How can you thank others? The bull outside will definitely lose one or two taels of silver."
She doesn't agree with taking advantage. If the family lacks this or two taels of silver, I won't say it. Now it's not enough, and I'm always uneasy.
Lin Yushu grabbed his head and said, "What mother taught me is that I don't think it's good either, so I'll send the money tomorrow."
Lin Yuzhu felt that if he gave the money, the boss might not necessarily say, "Forget it, just give the money. Ming Mom, please catch a duck and a chicken and let your brother take it to the boss."
Now that my family is rich, at least I don’t have to worry about life anymore, chickens and ducks are not very expensive.
Zhang Bihua thought about it carefully and agreed: "It's good that this is the case, and the boss is also a honest person. We can't let him suffer too much. We'll send him some good things to thank them later."
Let’s put this matter aside for the time being, Lin Yuzhu moved out the piggy bank. Lin Yushu paid more than two silvers to Lin Yuzhu and said, “Have you used up the sour fruits at home?”
