Sturdy and pretty daughter-in-law Shanlihan

Chapter 245

Thinking that the copper plates in the sleeve pocket were heavy, he threw some of the copper plates into the basket, took them out again, put them on a wooden pallet for loading things, and brought them in together, "I got nine hundred and ninety copper coins in total. The meat sold for 490 Wen, the beef sold for [-] Wen, and the brown rice sold for [-] Wen. Add up to [-] Wen.”

"Eight hundred wen is one tael. That's less than two taels." Zhou Fuquan also helped to calculate, "adding the one and a half I lent, it's only three taels and two ninety-six wen."

"There are two hundred copper coins at home." Xiao Yuchuan answered, "The best retail price for a four-pound poisonous snake is only 150 Wen per catty. The price of a poisonous snake is expensive. Most people can't afford it, and they don't know how to buy it. The price in the town is likely to be tens of yuan a catty cheaper, and it is difficult for anyone to buy it. It is a fluke that snake meat sells for [-] yuan. Apart from that, there is no other valuables at home. It is still about a tael short, yes There's no way it can be put together."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Zhou Fuquan said in a nasty voice, "I can't think of anything else, my family will have to rely on it for the rest of the day..."

Su Qingyue just said, "Brother Zhou, don't think too much, I have a solution."

"You are a woman, what can you do?"

"Didn't I pick two large bundles of medicine yesterday, maybe I can sell it for a tael of silver."

"Are the medicinal materials rare?" Wang Cuihua asked.

Qingyue shook her head, "Except for the rare Aescin venom that is rare, the rest are common medicinal materials. It's just that the medicinal materials for snake venom must be kept, just enough for immediate use, and cannot be sold."

Wang Cuihua was also disappointed. "I can only sell common ones. You can pick them in one day. I'm afraid you won't be able to sell them for a lot of money. In the past, some villagers also wanted to sell medicinal materials. They went up the mountain to search for them for two days. A large bundle of medicinal materials was sold in the town for only five copper coins. The pharmacy said that half of them were mistaken and not medicinal materials. A bundle was only sold for five cents. Later, no one in the village thought about picking medicinal materials to sell. "

Su Qingyue raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "No way, five copper coins? Don't those two bundles only sell for ten copper coins? Don't scare me."

"Daughter-in-law, Fuquan's daughter-in-law didn't scare you." Xiao Yuchuan said, "It was sold by Qian Duotian, a man from Qian Zhang's family. Qian Duotian is a bit lazy, but he is not stupid. People in the village mistook the medicinal materials when they saw him. You only earned five coins in the world, and you have to take it so far to the town, it’s better to grow vegetables and sell them, so no one in the village is looking for medicinal materials to sell.”

The corner of Su Qingyue's mouth twitched, "I was thinking of bringing two bundles of herbs to the town, maybe I can exchange them for a tael of silver..."

"Daughter-in-law, don't be naive." Xiao Yuchuan shook his head, "It's not precious medicinal materials, how can it be worth a tael of silver."

"You say I'm naive?" Su Qingyue snorted, "Didn't you say you're worth three or forty taels? It's the surplus money that has sold you."

"I really want to. I can only be sold if others think I can do coolies." Xiao Yuchuan said with a downcast face, "Look at me, I'm half dead now. I'm afraid I'm giving money to others, and no one wants it."

"Either I'll go around to borrow again..." Before Zhou Fuquan finished speaking, Wang Cuihua said sadly, "I'm afraid we won't be able to borrow it. Besides, my parents-in-law don't know about the one-and-a-half taels of silver we borrowed. If they know Now, we have to carry it too, I'm afraid it won't be easy to borrow money, and we still have a baby at home."

"It's okay, the third brother still has a tael of private money." Su Qingyue said, "It's enough to add up."
