Chapter 75 New Year's Eve

Fucheng Jucai Lane.

Since the opening of the Lin Family Noodle Restaurant on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the business has been booming, and the popularity has exceeded Lin Yushu's imagination.

Even some of the food shops next to them were smiling because they found that after the Lin Noodle Restaurant opened, their business gradually improved. After seeing too many people queuing up in front, many of the diners chose nearby restaurants to eat.

Li He'er greeted the guests. The noodle restaurant had already invited three people to help, but she was still too busy. Some diners had no place to sit and took the bowl directly. After eating, they put the bowl into the wooden barrel at the door, and left directly after paying.

Li He'er and Lin Yushu haven't had a good sleep for several days. There is no way. The business is too good and they often have to be busy until midnight. They get up early the next morning, which makes Li He'er physically and mentally exhausted.

Lin Yushu was very motivated, helping collect bowls or money, and had to take care of the business of the pig stall at the door.

But the couple were both happy, after all, they made several taels of silver in a few days.

Li He'er can't settle accounts, and Lin Yushu can't. They unanimously decided to wait until Lin Yuzhu came to the city to talk about it. So the couple kept all the money they earned. Lin Yushu used his own accounting method to record it. Anyway, the noodle restaurant is own, so it doesn't matter how much money it earns.

The family was busy from the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to the thirtyth day of the twelfth lunar month. Lin Yushu prepared the New Year's goods early, closed the store door after lunch, carried a large wooden box into the carriage, and the four of them left the city.

The same is true for the noodle restaurant in the county town. In the afternoon, I posted a notice directly on the door, closed the door of the noodle restaurant, and prepared to open the door to do business again in the second year of the Chinese New Year.

During this period, the noodle shops on both sides were very busy. When they contacted each other, they asked someone to bring messages. Lin Yuzhu prepared everything she needed and hired a carriage to return to the village.

The yard has been out of place for more than ten days and needs to be cleaned inside and outside. Zhang Bihua has not been idle since she got home. From the time she got home, she started cleaning the house and preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This year is the most sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner for the Lin family in so many years. They have chicken, duck, fish, meat and mutton. The money earned by the noodle restaurant is Lin Yuzhu in charge of the accounts. Today, after earning more than 25 taels of silver, it is natural to have a good New Year.

Stew chicken soup, kill fish, and roast mutton, and the whole family is happy.

With the new year and new atmosphere, Lin Yuzhu feels that next year will definitely be better.

When Lin Yushu and his family came back, the New Year's Eve dinner was already ready. I haven't seen each other for a while. An An and Pingping not only missed their grandparents, but also their younger brothers, sisters and aunts. As soon as they arrived home, they took out the prepared gifts. Although the two children were young, they were particularly sensible and prepared gifts very carefully. Qianyu and Qianxun were two rattles, and Lin Yuzhu was a candy man. They prepared a bag of pastries for Lin Laoshi and Zhang Bihua.

Li He'er smiled and said, "This is bought by An An and Pingping themselves. The two children were yelling to make money, so they asked them to wash dishes and give them two cents a day."

The two children also prepared gifts for them. Although they were not expensive, they were the wishes of the two children.

Lin Yuzhu rubbed An An and Pingping's head in a doting manner and said, "Did you practice the words that my aunt taught you to write?"

An An nodded repeatedly and said, "I have practiced seriously. If my aunt doesn't believe me, you can check us."

Pingping Nuosheng said in a singular voice: "Pingping is obedient and practices writing well."

The two children were well-behaved and laughed at the family. Lin Yuzhu gave the prepared New Year's money red envelope wrapped in red paper to each of the two children. The child could not give too much money, and she packed ten cents for each child.

An An and Pingping were very happy, Zhang Bihua and Lin Laoshi also came up and gave each of them a red envelope, and Qianyu and Qianxun also received it in their infancy.

Lin Yushu carried a large wooden box from the carriage. Seeing that the wooden box was very heavy, Lin Laoshi quickly stepped forward and helped carry it into the house.

Without caring about eating, Lin Yushu closed the door directly. This action made Lin Yuzhu and Zhang Bihua and his wife confused.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Lin Yuzhu asked in confusion, and then he went to uncover the lid of the wooden box.

Li He'er stood aside and smiled without saying a word, while Lin Yushu said silly: "This box is the money I have earned recently, I've brought it all back."

"All!" Lin Yuzhu was already shocked, because the broken silver and copper coins in the box were mixed together, and the whole box was half.

Zhang Bihua was so surprised that she couldn't speak after just a glance.

Lin said honestly: "Why do you keep the money so casually? You don't know if you exchange it for silver notes or silver, it's all broken silver coins." He felt that it was inconvenient and too eye-catching.

Lin Yushu grabbed his head embarrassedly and said, "He'er and I don't know how to settle the accounts. The money we earn every day is placed in a wooden box. By the way, there are also accounts for the expenses recently. Yuzhu, please calculate how much money we have earned in the past twenty-two days."

He only knew that there were probably dozens of taels of silver in this area, but he had never counted it clearly.

Lin Yuzhu covered the box and said, "Let's count it slowly after we have the New Year's Eve dinner."

Lin Yuzhu did not drink alcohol, but drank brown sugar water. The family was very happy at the dinner table. When they were full of wine, Li Heer burped beautifully, with a smile on her face: "This year is the best year I have lived like this."

Zhang Bihua said with a smile: "It's not the best year. There weren't so many chickens, ducks, fish and meat before. Our lives will get better and better in the future. Let's count the money now."

Isn’t the happiest moment of working so long now? I started skewing copper coins in the wooden box with hemp rope, while Lin Yuzhu selected the broken silver in the box.

Lin Yushu couldn't count, so he could only bury his head and skewed his head and said, "We have to go back to Fucheng on the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, and we have to open the door to do business in the afternoon. Many people even asked us to open the door to do business tomorrow, but I pushed it to the afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year."

Lin Yuzhu counted the broken silver and said, "There are forty-five taels of broken silver. You can talk about it after you have the copper coins. I'll sort out the accounts."

After all the copper coins were put on for one thousand texts, they actually had more than a dozen taels of silver.

In fact, the approximate amount of money he earned was the money in the box, but Lin Yushu also took the capital in it, so Lin Yushu felt it was troublesome and couldn't figure out how much he earned.

In addition, he had never counted the silver in the box and was completely confused.

After Lin Yuzhu finished all the accounts, she smiled and said, "You have been awesome in the past twenty-two days. You have earned more than fifty taels of silver than we all earned."

Li He'er was stunned, and Lin Yushu was also confused. The two of them only knew to make money, but they didn't know that they had earned fifty-two taels of silver in more than twenty days. It seemed that their lives could really get better and better.

When the New Year firecrackers sounded, the village also became lively. Many villagers came to pay New Year's greetings. Lin Yuzhu also wished everyone good health, good luck and good luck!
