Transcending into a goddess farmer

Chapter 43 A Bag of Broken Silver
Qin Miao did some calculations, the elder brother was leaving for the town at noon, and now it was completely dark, and there were several hours in between, it was enough to run back and forth to the town.Just as he was about to open the door to meet his eldest brother, his second brother had already rushed over and opened the courtyard door.

Only the second brother's voice came from the courtyard gate: "Oh, the ox cart is empty, big brother, all the shrimps are sold?"

The eldest brother tied up the ox cart, entered the courtyard gate, and said as he walked, "Second brother, younger sister, let's go back to the house and talk."

When Mrs. Li saw her eldest son coming back, she didn't care about washing the dishes in the kitchen. She took the oil lamp and went back to the main room. For a while, the family of five gathered together in one place, which was indescribably warm and beautiful.

Qin Shaoxian closed the door of the main room, and then took out a simple coarse cloth purse from his bosom in front of the whole family. Qin Miao recognized this kind of purse as it was used to settle the money for the food deliverers in the backyard of the Eight Immortals Restaurant. , then pay directly, and the money is more, so it is packed in such a coarse cloth.

Seeing this purse, Qin Miao guessed that Eldest Brother must have gained a lot from going to town today.

Sure enough, Qin Shaoxian was very pleasantly surprised, and said: "Father, mother, second brother, and younger sister, the prawns that were sent to the town today in an oxcart, Liu Guanshi from the Eight Immortals Restaurant said that the quality was very good, so he made an exception and gave 38 Wen." At the price of one catty, a ox cart of shrimp was sold for 50 taels of silver. In addition, Liu Guanshi also gave a deposit of ten taels of silver, so that such shrimp can be sent over as soon as possible in the near future."

Mrs. Li took the money bag in disbelief, reached in to touch it, and found a handful of broken silver!For a peasant woman who has always dealt with coins like copper plates, this bag of broken silver is simply a considerable sum of money!
Qin Shaoxian took out a small silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to Mrs. Li: "Mother, this is ten taels of silver, a deposit."

Mrs. Li took the silver ingot, looked left and right, touched left and right, eyes full of disbelief.Finally put the ten taels of deposit into the money bag, and handed it to Qin Feng together with the broken silver, and repeatedly said: "Father, please put these away quickly. Find a safe place to hide them."

Qin Feng took the money and went into the back room, probably to hide the money.No way, the shrew's house next door is like a time bomb, so I have to be on guard.

In the main room, Qin Shaolian asked his eldest brother: "Brother, there are only so many guests in the Eight Immortals Restaurant. Isn't one ox cart not enough to eat the shrimps? You also gave so much deposit for us to deliver again?"

Qin Shaoxian smiled and replied: "Of course the Eight Immortals Restaurant in Xiaotang Town doesn't need so many shrimps. Manager Liu saw that the shrimps we sent were very plump, so he planned to keep some of the rest and send them to the Eight Immortals Restaurant in other places." The semicolon in the town, it is said that the semicolon of the Eight Immortals Restaurant in the county is bigger than the Eight Immortals Restaurant in the town, it is estimated that a large part of the shrimp we send will be transported to the county."

Qin Shaolian nodded knowingly: "So that's the case."

Then I remembered something, pulled my elder brother’s sleeve, and said excitedly: “Then what are you waiting for, we have to catch shrimps quickly! There are still a lot of shrimps in that river ditch! If there are many people who go to catch shrimps after dawn tomorrow It's not good."

Qin Miao stopped Qin Shaolian: "Second Brother, it's very late now, Eldest Brother has been running around for a day today, you have to let him have a hot meal and then sleep. We can't finish those shrimps, at worst, get up early tomorrow, When it is dawn, I go to catch shrimps, and when the sun rises, the ox carts are just full, and my elder brother drives directly to the town to sell them."
