Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 9685 has private money

Wanghai County, Qingshui Town, Baimeizhai Restaurant.

Dabai and Hongmei faced each other and stuffed the evening meal into their stomachs.

At the end, Hongmei put down her chopsticks and looked at Dabai expectantly, "What little surprise? Can I take it out now?"

Dabai also burped, put down his chopsticks, and took out a handkerchief from his bosom.

There was something wrapped in the veil, and he lifted the veil layer by layer, and there was a silver ingot inside.

"This is an ingot of silver, about five taels." Hongmei pointed at the silver, and said, "Is this the ingot you gave me as a surprise?"

Dabai nodded: "Isn't this a surprise?"

Hongmei frowned, "Money is good, but it's not a surprise. By the way, where did you get the money? I remember when you went to the county town to serve Niang, but you went there empty-handed, without bringing a dime!"

Dabai said: "I'm stupid, I bring money? My mother has money. Xiao Hei just held a banquet a while ago, and all the gift money is in my mother's hands!"

Dabai dare not tell Hongmei the truth.

It's not that he didn't bring a dime, he hid three taels of silver in his crotch!
These three taels of silver are Dabai's private money.

"Then where did the five taels of silver come from?" Hongmei asked again.

Dabai said: "Didn't I get beaten up by Brother Gou? Half of the money was paid by Brother Gou to buy supplements for me, and the other half was spent in the county town during this period. I ran errands to buy medicine and food for my mother." , Picked out one by one!"

Dabai would never tell Hongmei that apart from the five taels of silver in his hand, he still had the three taels of silver hidden in his crotch.

After the three taels of silver was shaken out by Xu Mang in public last time, Yang Huamei and the others didn't want it, because they despised the stinky silver.

So in the end the three taels of silver returned to Dabai's hands.

Now, Dabai has eight taels of silver on hand, look, let's go to Wanghai County.Although it took half a month of work, but in the end I still got some money back, which is a blessing in misfortune.

"Hey, these five taels of silver are for you to buy some rouge and gouache to dress up, and the rest are two sets of new clothes." Dabai stuffed the silver into Hongmei's hand, very proudly.

He went on to say: "As for the things in the shop, don't worry about it, you can take care of your baby at ease, and I'll figure it out!"

Hongmei was not as polite as Dabai, and took the five taels of silver openly.

No matter how the business in the shop is, her small coffers must be kept.

Thinking about the time when ex-husband shopkeeper Zhang had an accident, she lost money with Dabai when she ran away, so that Dabai was arrested and put in jail, and she herself didn't even have money to stay in the inn, she died pitifully.

Therefore, no matter when a woman is, no matter when a man can make money to support you, or any time, you have to make more plans for yourself.

What if one day the man becomes unreliable?At least I still have money by my side, I have a place to stay wherever I go, and I have a place to eat and drink.

Hongmei knew that Dabai was aware of the fact that she had a small treasury and saved private money, otherwise, Dabai would not have said that she had saved the five taels of silver.

But Dabai doesn't know exactly how much money she has saved in her small treasury, and she doesn't plan to tell Dabai.

These are all taken advantage of by her to take advantage of the convenience of managing the accounts of the shop, and pick them up one by one.

This is what she is close to. When no one can count on it, they can only count on the money.

"Boss, you slept for a while, did you think of any good solution?" Hongmei asked again.

If possible, of course, she still hopes that the business of the shop can continue to run smoothly.

Because this is a long-term solution, it is a meal, not a meal.

Dabai thought for a while, "I'm sure I'm looking for a chef, but I'm afraid I can't find it due to the rush of time."

"Even if we find it, the other party knows our situation, and it is very likely that we will have to raise the price."

Hongmei didn't say anything, but she felt that what Dabai said was reasonable.

"Then what are you going to do?" she asked again.

Dabai said: "The top priority is, if we can't increase the revenue, we should cut down the expenditure first."

"What do you mean? Explain clearly."

"What I mean is very simple, that is, lunch and dinner are cancelled. Let's go back to our old business and continue to make morning tea."

"Huh? Are you back to the small business like selling morning tea? Isn't your dream to open a big restaurant?" Hongmei was very confused.

Dabai smiled wryly and shook his head: "I thought maliciously, but no, I took a big step, did I accidentally pull it!"

"So, during this period of the year, let's keep our eyes peeled and firmly grasp the morning tea. You must know that the morning tea in our shop has been passed down in Qingshui Town. Many people grew up eating the morning tea in this shop!"

After Dabai said this, Hongmei also fell into thinking.

Indeed, Zhang Ji's morning tea shop is a time-honored morning tea shop in Qingshui Town. In the past, several generations of the Zhang family opened the shop at the south entrance of this town.

The residents of the town, as well as the villagers of Shiliba Village, when the big guys come to the town to go to the market or something, when it comes to having morning tea, they will always choose Zhang Ji morning tea shop.

The handicraft of Dabai is inherited from the Zhang family, and it has even been improved in some aspects. The taste and patterns are more colorful.

"Then you have to be in the shop. Only you can support that piece." Hongmei said.

Dabai nodded, "Well, I'll stay in the shop for a few days, and when my mother is going back to the village, I'll find time to go to the county town."

"Oh, by the way, if I don't have lunch and dinner, but only have morning tea, I can go back and forth to the county town that day, and I don't need to spend the night in the county town."

Mentioning this episode, the smile on Hongmei's face disappeared without a trace.

"I'll pack the dishes first." She stood up, picked up the empty dishes on the table, and prepared to leave.

Dabai stopped her.

"After all, you are also my mother's eldest daughter-in-law. Isn't it too good to just ask my mother a word like this?"

Hongmei stood where she was, turned her head to look at Dabai, her face was full of sarcasm.

"Then has your mother ever cared about my second child with you?"

Dabai was stunned for a while, and remained silent.

Hongmei chuckled twice, "The relationship between me and your mother is right there, I'm not Xu Qiaohong's kind of flattering personality, I'm a person who says whatever I like, or hates, it's all on my face. "

Speaking of Xu Qiaohong... Dabai's expression turned ugly.

"Compared to you, I think that woman Xu Qiaohong is more like an actress, with a mask on her face! Fake!" Dabai said.

Hongmei snorted coldly, "And your mother's personality is also there."

"She looked down on me from the very beginning and didn't like me. So, no matter what I do or say, it will change in her eyes."

"Instead of putting my hot face on her cold ass, I might as well be at peace with her and not disturb each other, don't you think so?"
