Sure enough, Mr. Qin's concerns were not wrong. After the Qin family proposed to buy a hundred pieces of dyed cloth, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop guessed what they wanted to do. He tried every means during the conversation, and his intention to increase the price was obvious.

The Qin brothers had never done business and were no match for the shopkeeper of Buzhuang. However, they kept Mr. Qin’s instructions in mind and made it clear that they wanted to help the shopkeeper to take care of their brothers because of how much the shopkeeper of Buzhuang took care of them.

Dispose of batches of fabrics.

If the price of cloth increases, even if it only increases by one penny per piece, they will not buy it. On the contrary, they have done a great favor to the cloth dealer, and the cloth dealer should give them a share of the profit and let them earn some money for their hard work.

In order to get rid of the seven or eight hundred pieces of dyed fabric in the warehouse as soon as possible these days, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was so worried that he couldn't sleep well. He was afraid that if he couldn't sell this batch of cloth before the year, his boss would give him the job of shopkeeper after the new year.

Now that the Qin brothers came to his door, he wanted to seize the opportunity to sell this batch of cloth at a good price to claim credit from his employer. When he saw that the Qin brothers refused to make any progress and refused to give in, he knew that they were telling the truth and had to

Dispelled the idea of ​​raising prices.

After some haggling, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop finally agreed to sell three pieces of cloth to the Qin brothers at the original price of one tael of silver, and for every thirty pieces purchased, the cloth shop would give one piece of cloth as a gift. These agreements were written exactly on the contract, and I was not afraid.

Someone regretted it.

Both parties are very satisfied with this result.

In the next few days, Qinshan Qinchuan did not stay in the city to work. They hired two ox carts to travel between Qingshan Village and the county town, and successively transported back 350 pieces of cloth.

For these three hundred and fifty pieces of cloth, only half of the deposit was given to the cloth shop, and the remaining half will not be settled until the cloth is sold out. There is no way, not counting the twenty taels of deposits given by the three villages, the Qin family can

The money I took out was only forty taels.

Half of the forty taels of silver were obtained from the wild animals that Qin Xiaoxiao had brought in in the past two years. As for the thirty taels of silver that Qin Xiaoxiao won and left to Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin never thought about it.

You have to move it.

On the day the cloth was shipped back to the Qin family, the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law who had booked it happily took it home. The remaining half of the payment was successfully recovered. The Qin family did not buy cloth from the cloth store for the time being, and planned to wait for another 250

Let’s talk about it after the horse is sold.

Although they went to other villages to sell cloth, they did not sell as fast as the previous three villages. However, the Qin family carried the cloth and sold it, and received both money and goods on the spot. There was no risk of being deceived, so the transaction went smoothly, and it only took five days.

In a short time, all 250 pieces of cloth were sold out.

After dinner, the courtyard door and hall door of the Qin family were bolted. Mr. Qin asked Dahuang to guard the door to prevent outsiders from coming in. He also asked a few children to go back to their rooms to sleep, and then took out a few heavy ones.

Money bag, pour the money from selling cloth in the past few days into a big basket.

This big basket can hold dozens of kilograms of cabbage. The scattered coins were poured in and the basket was filled up.

The basket full of silver dimes and copper coins was a huge impact for the Qin family who had seen so much money for the first time. Except for Mr. Qin, everyone else was breathing heavily and their eyes widened. They simply didn’t dare.

I believe they earned this basket full of money.

"Stop standing there stupidly, come here and count them!" Seeing their useless looks, Mr. Qin sat in the big basket of money, counting and stringing the coins together with hemp ropes.

"Yes, count, you have to count clearly." Mrs. Miao reacted first, moved a chair and sat next to Mr. Qin, shaking her hands and counting.

Qin Shan and others took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and sat down in the big basket of money to count the money honestly.

Zhao Cao'er couldn't hold it in anymore after counting, and laughed nervously: "I used to hear that rich people got cramps in their hands from counting money. I didn't believe it before, but now I'm guarding this big basket of money.

, I finally believe it completely.”

Qin Chuan cursed in a low voice: "You bitch, please keep your voice down, don't let the thieves hear your shouting." After cursing, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Cao'er was in a good mood and rarely quarreled with him: "Isn't this happy? If I could count money like this every day, I would be willing to do it even if my hands were broken!"

The mood of the others was no different from that of Zhao Cao'er. Lin Qiuniang couldn't help but praise: "It's because my siblings have such good brains that we can seize the opportunity to earn this money."

Zhao Cao'er was so flattered by the praise, but he rarely said modestly: "It's not my fault alone. It's really because my eldest brother bought those three pieces of cloth first that I thought of this."

Lin Qiuniang knew her temperament and was willing to compliment her a little more: "I need your ideas. I looked at those pieces of cloth and was thinking about how to make clothes. I had no idea how to make money with them."

"Gee, my sister-in-law's words are very pleasing to the ears." Zhao Cao'er was beaming with joy as she realized that maybe she really had a very powerful brain, but she just hadn't discovered it before.

Seeing the happy look of the two sisters, Mrs. Miao was very pleased: "Not just one person can make money this time. You all made great efforts."

Qin Shan nodded fiercely: "Yes, mother is right!"

Mr. Qin glanced at them lightly, with a smile in his eyes: "Stop talking nonsense and count quickly. If you don't finish counting, don't even think about sleeping tonight."

The others quickly shut their mouths and concentrated on counting the money.

Counting money was great, but it was too cold at night. Their feet were already frozen to the ground, and they wished they could get under the covers as soon as possible.

Most of the money in this basket was copper coins. Even if six pairs of hands were counting together, it would take an hour and a half to finish counting. Finally, when the money for each person was added up, the total was one hundred nineteen taels and twenty coins.

These three hundred and fifty pieces of cloth should be sold for 140 taels of silver. Excluding the initial deposit of 20 taels of silver, there should be only 120 taels of silver. The missing money is eighty taels of silver. I think it is this

A few days ago when selling cloth, someone gave him less money and they didn't notice.

This kind of thing is inevitable, but fortunately it's rare, so the Qin family doesn't take it to heart. Only Qin Chuan's eyes dodge and he feels guilty.

The cost of three hundred and fifty pieces of cloth was one hundred and sixteen taels and seven cents, and the cost of hiring an oxcart was eight cents. In just five or six days, they made a net profit of twenty-two taels of silver. Before that,

In more than twenty years, their family had only saved forty taels of silver.

Mr. Qin was also very excited to be able to earn so much money. When the mood calmed down, he reminded: "We have been selling cloth in and out these days without hiding it. I think people in the village will guess that we are making money. If

If anyone asks, don't tell anyone."

"Dad, we are not fools, and we will definitely not forget what we have said." Qin Shan rubbed his hands and laughed very hard: "When someone asked, we just said that we were hungry and cold from dawn to dusk, and we earned more than a dozen taels.

Silver’s hard-earned money.”

Mr. Qin's mouth twitched when he heard this, and without saying a word he kicked him on the butt: "If you want to attract thieves, get out and make noise now."

Qin Shan covered his butt and hid aside. He wanted to retort a few words but was frightened by Mr. Qin's majesty. He mumbled twice and then stopped.

"Brother, a dozen taels of silver is a lot. Let's not worry about whether it will attract thieves, but it will be no problem to attract a few people who come to borrow money." It was rare for Qin Chuan to see his eldest brother embarrassed in front of his own father, and he had a sneak peek.

Afterwards, he took the opportunity to express his guess.

Lin Qiuniang said with a smile: "As long as you know how much money you make, you don't need to say anything to outsiders. If anyone asks, just say that you have earned a few bolts of cloth, which is enough to make clothes for the whole family."

New clothes.”

"Yes, let's just say that and let them guess." Zhao Cao'er agreed, not wanting to attract anyone who wanted to borrow money.

The others nodded and had no objection to this statement.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Shan and Qin Chuan had to get up early to go to the city to pick up goods tomorrow. Mr. Qin gave them a few instructions and urged them to go back to their rooms to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Qinshan and Qinchuan went to the city with Dahuang. This time, they each carried a backpack, which contained the money they had counted last night.

Part of this money is the final payment for the 350 pieces of cloth, and part is the deposit for the 300 pieces of cloth to be bought today. Three hundred pieces of cloth are enough for the remaining seven or eight villages. Although they can be sold elsewhere,

We don't have enough time, and we won't make much money for all the hard work.

Not long after the brothers left, Qin Taohua and Zhao Dazhu came to the door carrying a small piece of pork.

Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao squatting at the door digging a mud hole with dead branches, Qin Taohua's face instantly put a smile on her face, and she quickly stepped forward and hugged Qin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, aunt is here to see you!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was suddenly picked up by someone, and was startled. Just when she was about to shout "Help" at the top of her voice, she stopped her voice when she saw that it was a familiar person, twisted her butt and shouted uncomfortably: "Auntie,

Uncle."

"Hey, good boy, so good~" Qin Taohua touched her pink face and praised her again and again, even more enthusiastic than before.

Zhao Dazhu, like her, praised Qin Xiaoxiao for being smart and sensible, and put Sanbao aside who was looking at them eagerly, as if he had never seen such a person.

Qin Xiaoxiao became more and more uncomfortable, twisting her body to get down: "Auntie, uncle, grandparents are in the house, you go in quickly!"

When Qin Taohua heard this, regardless of Qin Xiaoxiao's struggle, she hugged her and walked into the yard: "It's cold outside, so my aunt will carry you into the house to keep you warm. Your mother did the same, so she let you play outside.

I'm not afraid of giving you cold sickness, I really don't know how she is a mother."

"Auntie, I'm not cold when Father Sun is here~" Qin Xiaoxiao could endure Qin Taohua's strong hug, but she couldn't bear her accusing Lin Qiuniang: "My mother is kind to me, you can't say bad things about my mother!"

"Oh, you little girl protects your mother very well, much better than your Yin Yin cousin." Qin Taohua didn't take Qin Xiaoxiao's request to heart, and kept teasing her: "Auntie will

Hello, I’m nicer to you than your mother is. How about you go home with your eldest aunt and be her daughter?”

"No, not good at all!" Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know this was a joke, and her temper suddenly got angry: "I only want my mother to be my mother, and I don't want you to be my mother! You are my cousin Yin Yin's mother, so I want to be right

Hello, Cousin Yin Yin!"

Lin Qiuniang, who heard the commotion in the house, came out and heard her daughter's rude words. She said angrily: "What are you talking about? Your aunt likes to tease you!" After saying that, she took her daughter from Qin Taohua's hand.

, apologized: "This girl has been spoiled by me and your elder brother. If she says something unpleasant, don't be offended."

Qin Xiaoxiao was unhappy and hugged her mother's neck tightly and complained: "My eldest aunt is so bad. She said bad things about my mother and even wanted to abduct me and take me home as her daughter. I don't want to be my eldest aunt's daughter!"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Taohua was extremely embarrassed. She secretly cursed the stinky girl and hurriedly explained to Lin Qiuniang: "Sister-in-law, I just laughed and listened because I was ignorant. I didn't say anything bad about you!"

There was nothing strange on Lin Qiuniang's face, and she said with a smile: "We have been sisters-in-law for more than ten years, and I still don't know who you are."

When my eldest sister-in-law was a girl, I didn't get along very well with her sister-in-law. I probably wouldn't say bad things about my daughter in front of her, but I just don't have anything nice to say about her, otherwise I won't make my daughter anxious.

Qin Taohua listened to Lin Qiuniang's ambiguous words and didn't know what she meant: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have joked with Xiaoxiao, causing her to misunderstand me as an aunt."

Lin Qiuniang touched her daughter's angry little face and said calmly: "Children can't stand jokes, they will take them seriously."

Qin Taohua inexplicably felt that her sister-in-law was knocking her, so she smiled coquettishly and said nothing.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't understand the quarrel between the adults. Seeing that her eldest aunt no longer spoke ill of her mother, nor did she say that she wanted to be her daughter, she felt that her mother had won, so she whispered in her ear.

: "Mom is so amazing~"

Lin Qiuniang smiled and rubbed her little head: This girl is not raised in vain!
