Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 526 The first guest (1)
"It shouldn't be bad, and it's cheap. Let's see how much it costs."

"This couplet costs 2 coins for a pair, which is the same as the others, but as long as you buy three pairs of couplets, you will lose one coin. Three pairs cost 5 coins, and six pairs cost 6 coins."

"Three copies can save one penny? Well, give me three copies. I need to post a copy in front of my house, in the courtyard and in the pigsty."

"Give me three sets too, one set for my family, one set for my parents, and one set for my son's family."

Sun Meixiang asked Yang Yang and Shitou to come down and stand beside her, and Yang Shi came to help her calculate the money.I will count the couplets I need and pass them to others.Pay with one hand and deliver with one hand.

Before five o'clock, the fifty pairs that were brought out were all sold out, with a total of 87 cash.Sun Meixiang's eyes brightened, it seemed that this was feasible.

Let Mrs. Yang help to look after the children, and I ran to buy another 100 sheets of red paper, I went back to write at night, and sold them together tomorrow.

A few days ago, Sun Meixiang and Yang Shi cleaned up in the inn in the morning, and the custom-made tables and chairs had already been made.In the afternoon, couplets began to be sold, and this situation continued until New Year's Eve.

During this period of time, due to the good writing of the couplets, the content of the couplets is also better than that of others. There are also those that the merchants ask for special help in writing, and those that Sun Meixiang charges 8 Wen for a pair.

After 8 days, I made a steady profit of 3 taels and 28 Wen silver.But these are just enough for the tables and chairs, sheets, quilts and the like.

But fortunately, before the Chinese New Year, it can be regarded as making a fortune.Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Sun Meixiang and Lin Xiayang ran to the inn to put up the new sign.

Firecrackers were lit, and a few glutinous rice balls were cooked, which made it difficult for a few people.This can be regarded as hanging a plaque and firing a fire.After that, I hurried home again to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

"Grandma, after today is over, will Yangyang and Shitou be one year older tomorrow?" Grandma Yang told him today that they will be one year older after the new year.

"Yes, but it's not one year old. It's called virtual age. Yangyang is less than 3 years old now, but Xusui is already 3 years old. After the new year is over, Yangyang will be 4 years old tomorrow, and Shitou will be 3 years old when the new year is over. You are now [-] years old. From now on, you will not be little babies, but big babies, you have to be obedient and sensible, you know?"

Sun Meixiang remembered that when she was a child, it was always New Year's Eve at home, and the adults held a rice stick.You want to hit the child meaningfully.What is it called to get rid of the New Year, so as to give a long memory.

Also during the Chinese New Year, crying is not allowed, which is very unlucky.In addition, during the Chinese New Year, adults and children are not allowed to swear, blush, etc.

Therefore, she took the opportunity to educate Yangyang and Shitou: "You two, you will be one year older from tomorrow. When you grow up, it means that you are sensible. Do you know what grandma says? At the beginning, our inn is going to open. You two stay at home obediently. At noon, grandma will ask your Uncle Xia to deliver food. When things are stable in the future, grandma will take you to live in the city. In the past few days Don’t go out. If someone knocks on the door, first check to see if it’s Grandma, Grandma Yang and Uncle Xia. If not, you can’t open the door, you know? By the way, if you see strangers, you can’t follow them, otherwise you will You won’t be able to see grandma. Grandma won’t be able to see you either, she will be very sad.”

Sun Meixiang was mainly thinking about her daughter-in-law whom she had never met.What if one day she went crazy and ran back to take the two children away.

She didn't think that the woman had a better life and would think of her two children.If one day he ran back, it was likely that his life was unsatisfactory and he wanted to sell the child or something.So no matter what, it's good to get a vaccination first.

"Yes, grandma, we know!" Lian Xiaobao replied in a childish voice.

"Good boy, this is the New Year's money for you, do you know how to put it away yourself? You keep this money for yourself, and maybe you can save a wife's money in the future."

Sun Meixiang took out two small red envelopes made by herself, each containing 6 Wen coins.You must know that this money is not too small. In rural areas, it is usually only one or two pennies.

"Grandma, what is Wife Ben?" Yang Yang is now a very curious baby, wanting to ask about everything he sees.

"Um, you'll understand when you grow up. In short, keep it for yourself, it will be useful in the future." Sun Meixiang didn't want to talk so much with her child, so she found an excuse to excuse it.

The two little milk babies looked at the red envelope in their hands with doubts flickering in their eyes, and put it into their bosoms.Grandma said that precious things should be kept in the heart.

At this moment, Yang Shi and Lin Xia came over, Chao Yangyang and Shitou waved.

"Grandma Yang, Uncle Xia!" The two little nurses were taught to be extremely polite by Sun Meixiang.He obediently walked up to Mrs. Yang, stood still, and looked up to see them.

"Yangyang, Shitou is so good. This is the New Year's money given to you by Grandma Yang and your Uncle Xia. Take it!" Mrs. Yang gave each of the two children a red envelope.

"Thank you Grandma Yang, Uncle Xia!" Seeing that they looked like grandma's, the two small milk bags were placed in the heart, and they nodded slightly to Yang Shi and Lin Xia.

"Okay, let's start eating. I'll serve the dishes!" Sun Meixiang originally wanted to be polite and said that there was no need to give the two children lucky money.

But after thinking about it, these two children are still young, and Yang Shi and Lin Xia really love them.They are still very embarrassed about living in their own homes.That being the case, there is no need for me to dismiss their intentions.

"Wow, there are a lot of delicious food today." Yang Yang saw the food on the table, and his saliva was about to flow down.

Although in the past few months, the food at home has been getting better and better.But it was the first time to see so much food, no wonder Yang Yang wanted to sigh.

"Okay, everything is up, Xiao Xia, go and set off the firecrackers!" Looking at the nine bowls of dishes on the table, Sun Meixiang was very satisfied.Doesn't this mean a long time?

There are rice cakes (meaning sweetness), noodles (meaning longevity), glutinous rice balls (meaning reunion), and fish (preparing to save until tomorrow, meaning more than every year), in addition to these four dishes, there are braised pork , cabbage, potatoes, potatoes, and finally a corn rib soup.

Lin Xia nodded, got up and took the firecracker, lit it and threw it outside the door.

"Okay, let's start!" Sun Meixiang sighed in her heart when she heard the sound of firecrackers outside the door. This is the first time she has been to a strange place, especially in this unknown age, with her two grandchildren. .

"Grandma, Shitou wants to eat braised pork." The little guy asked immediately when he saw the big bowl of red-flavored braised pork exuding a fragrance.

Sun Meixiangyi said to Yang Yang: "From today, Yang Yang will be 4 years old when he wakes up, and Shitou will be 3 years old. Yangyang wants to eat by himself, and Grandma Shitou will feed him like his brother, and he will eat by himself in the future, understand? "
