Da Song a knife

Chapter 45

When Yang Yuanding came back with the blueprints, he also brought the exact news of the start of construction of the ferry.

However, looking at the blueprint and listening to Yang Yuanding's words, Xu stayed silent in embarrassment.

Zhang Sijiu knew what Xu Shi was silent about, and immediately wanted to talk about the fact that he set up a stall to sell drinks.

But before she could speak, Yang Yuanding asked, "Is it expensive to build a pigsty?"

Mrs. Xu hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "It's expensive but not expensive. As you said, it doesn't need to be so high. If one wall is high and three walls are short, you don't need to dig much mud. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the grain and grass are ready-made." But the problem is, you have to hire someone."

If there are two men in the family, you can grit your teeth and do it yourself, but...

Zhang Xiaoshan has only one person. After the ferry is finished, it will be the autumn harvest. If the autumn harvest is over and the house is built, she will feel distressed.

Moreover, Mrs. Xu really felt that it was unnecessary: ​​"It's just raising pigs, so there's no need to build such a nice house, right?"

Zhang Sijiu asked Xu in a soft voice: "If you ask others to help, how much will it cost?"

Mrs. Xu pondered for a while: "I guess it costs at least two taels of silver. Digging mud and building a house is hard work, and you have to pay for a meal. I dare not lose money to others. I have to buy some wood."

Calculated in this way, two taels of silver is really not expensive.

The main reason is that the pigsty is simple and uses few materials. The most expensive material is probably wood.

But the problem is that the Zhang family can't afford two taels of silver now.

Even if you can take it out, you won't be willing to use it to build a house for the pigs - people haven't taken care of it yet!

Zhang Sijiu didn't know if he could earn two taels of silver by selling drinks.

But Yang Yuanding has two taels of silver.

He said without hesitation: "I will pay the money first. Raising pigs is a big deal. As long as they are raised this time, they can continue to be raised in the future, and the cost will be paid back soon."

This is not a lie. A catty of pork ranges from more than ten yuan to twenty yuan, and the average price is about sixteen or seventeen. If a pig is really well-raised, when it reaches two hundred catties, a pig alone can be sold for three thousand. money.Even if the hairy pigs are cheaper and only sell for about [-] yuan, they are still [-] yuan richer.

But Xu doesn't believe how much money raising pigs can make.

She is considered to be able to raise pigs well in ten miles and eight towns, but all year round, a pig is only a little over a hundred, making money?It doesn't make much money at all.

Even Mrs. Xu turned around and tried to persuade Yang Yuanding: "Sanlang, don't spend this money indiscriminately. Listen to my advice, even if your family has money, you can't waste it like this. Your parents should not be happy if they know about it."

Xu felt that Yang Yuanding was too young to understand these things, and if he really took the money, he really shouldn't have.

At that time, there is no way to explain to Magistrate Yang.

If you cheat other people's children's money, you will be struck by lightning.

Seeing Xu's determination, Zhang Sijiu shook his head lightly at Yang Yuanding, who was still planning to persuade Xu, and signaled him to stop talking.

The Xu family will definitely not want this money.

Even Zhang Sijiu and Yang Yuanding were sure that this castrated piglet would grow faster than ordinary pigs, but there was no factual evidence to convince Xu.

Fortunately, drinks can be sold soon.

Zhang Sijiu looked up at Mrs. Xu, and discussed with Mrs. Xu: "Second Aunt, I think since Sanlang read it from a book, he must be right."

Before Zhang Sijiu could finish speaking, Xu interrupted her with a serious face: "That's not okay—we can't ask for this money."

Zhang Sijiu finished speaking: "I know, Second Aunt, we definitely can't ask for this money. Even if we want to repair the pigsty, we must earn money by ourselves. Second Aunt, I want to discuss something with you."

Only then did Xu's expression relax a little, and his attitude softened: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Sanlang said that the construction of the ferry is about to start. I want to make some drinks and sell them. If we sell the money at that time, let's save it to repair the pigsty." Zhang Sijiu seriously proposed.

Xu was taken aback for a moment, then wanted to laugh a little, but at the same time felt a little sad.

She couldn't help touching Zhang Sijiu's head, and gently rubbed her hair: "Jiu Niang, why are you..." So sensible and worrying?

Yang Yuanding thought this idea was great: "Sell it! I can help you taste it! I have drunk many drinks in the city! I am familiar with their taste!"

The weather is hot, he is the youngest in the family, and he still has enough pocket money, so isn't there a constant supply of iced drinks?
Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Then it's settled!"

For Xu's sadness, Zhang Sijiu didn't feel this way at all, she was actually quite happy: things really went well!
Xu thought for a while: "I'll give you the money——"

Zhang Sijiu waved his hand: "I don't need the money first, I have it here. In the next two days, I will sell the fungus and dig some other things to sell."

The cost of drinks is low.It's even lower if you don't use ice.

Zhang Sijiu estimated that the money was enough.

Moreover, she can dig many raw materials directly from the ground without spending money.

For example, honeysuckle.

For example, Chine.

Another example is light bamboo leaves.

These are all available.

The most expensive cost is sugar.

At that time, Zhang Sijiu planned to buy all the money in his hand into candy.There are buckets at home, and bowls at home.Well water and firewood are also available at home.

As for manpower: she plus Zhaoyin, Xiaosong Xiaobai, that is enough.

At most, Zhang Xiaoshan is needed to help carry these drinks over in the morning.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sijiu felt more and more flattered: no matter how much he could earn, he felt that he was making a steady profit without losing money!

Xu looked at Zhang Sijiu, and a strange idea popped into her mind: Could it be that Jiuniang followed her elder brother?Are you talented in small businesses?
Zhang Sijiu's own father was a small shopkeeper.Word of mouth has always been good. Although he doesn't earn much, in the past few years, he has married a wife for himself and married Zhang Xiaoshan, all relying on him.

There is no way, Yang's widowed mother brings two teenage children, and it is difficult to eat enough, let alone make money.

This is why the Zhang family is so poor.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu felt a little relieved, but also a little sad: thinking of the deceased elder brother and sister-in-law, it was not a good feeling in her heart.

However, Xu still smiled and said, "Since Jiu Niang has such an idea, let's try it."

Zhang Sijiu thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Second Aunt."

If Mrs. Xu did not support this matter, Zhang Sijiu knew in his heart that it would definitely not be possible.

Mrs. Xu rubbed Zhang Sijiu's head, and her heart softened: "Our Jiuniang is sensible and smart, but there is one thing, you should discuss everything with me, understand?"

No matter how sensible and smart he is, he is still a child.

Zhang Sijiu nodded: "Don't worry, Second Aunt, I will definitely discuss it with you."

As a group, the majority must agree on everything, so that there will be no internal resistance!
Moreover, one person alone will definitely not be able to accomplish great things!

Doctor Zhang has experience.

　See you tomorrow~
