After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

There is a feeling of clear water.

Bai Ziqian didn't seem to be buying two cents a pound of charcoal, but something valuable.

There is a kind of Chinese luxury store where a rich young man points to his bags and shoes and says: I don’t want this, this and that, and the rest are all included.

It's just that the only heir to the Bai family, the richest man in Southern Capital, no longer goes to the store to buy things. He is directly the owner of the store, and it's all his own property.

Zhang Jinniu stared at the young Bai Ziqian with his mouth open.

He knew before that he was a child of a rich family, but in his mind, he only thought that one tael of silver was a lot. Could a child even afford it?

Not only today’s one tael of silver, but also what’s to come!

A batch of charcoal will be delivered in about five days. It will only be more and not less than what was delivered today. It can be delivered at least four times before the Chinese New Year. If calculated as one tael at a time, plus today's charcoal, there will be five taels. It’s silver.

Can Bai Ziqian get so much money?

Bai Ziqian ran back to the house where he lived, took out a piece of silver, ran to Zhang Jinniu, and threw it straight over.

Zhang Jinniu instinctively reached out to catch it, and the cold touch in his hand made him look over.

Then, he froze in place.

"This, this is silver? Is it real silver?"

Bai Ziqian said angrily: "Try to bite it and see if you can get teeth marks."

Who is this looking down on?

He was indeed very poor before!

But now he is no longer what he used to be - his parents left him hundreds of taels of silver before they went back, and this was just as pocket money.

Now it is business to buy charcoal fire for Aunt Shuiqing and her family for the winter, so why not use some money?

Zhang Jinniu had only seen silver in other people's hands, and his family didn't even have broken silver.

I always earn a few pennies, and when I earn more, I string the copper coins together to make one penny.

Now that the real silver was in his hand, it was still a big ingot. He swallowed and bit it without hesitation.

Seeing the tooth marks on it, he grinned and said, "It's really silver! I finally touched real silver!"

Bai Ziqian originally thought Zhang Jinniu was questioning him, but he didn't expect that he had just never seen Yin Zi.

Suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable.

The accessories he has worn since he was a child are very few in gold, let alone silver, and most of them are jade.

And it is jade of excellent quality.

Looking at Zhang Jinniu, I realized that there are many children who have never touched money until they grow up.

Zhang Jinniu's dark face was filled with excitement and joy.

He held the silver in his hands as if he was afraid that it would melt. It took him a while to react. He hurriedly handed it to Bai Ziqian and said awkwardly: "I, I, the silver is too expensive. Your silver nugget is still intact. I'm afraid there are several pieces of it." Two?"

"Ten taels of silver per ingot." Bai Ziqian explained warmly.

When I heard that it was ten taels, Zhang Jin Newton felt that the cold silver was hot to my hands!

He said anxiously: "There are too many, and I can't find you. How about giving me copper coins?"

One tael of silver can be worth a thousand copper coins, which is heavy in the hand. People like him can use it with peace of mind.

Bai Ziqian said boldly: "It's okay, there's no need to look for it, you can just send me some charcoal for this money later."

Five hundred kilograms of charcoal are packed in bamboo baskets, and a basket of several dozen kilograms is only about ten baskets.

Aunt Shui Qing's firewood shed is large, and when stacked, it takes up even less space. It can fit ten taels of charcoal inside.

Zhang Jinniu held twelve taels of silver in his hands and was so excited that he didn't know what to do.

I only remember saying hello in a daze and promising that a lot of charcoal would be delivered, then I tightly put the silver into my chest, crossed my hands to protect it, and ran home quickly.

"Mom, come and see." Zhang Jinniu shouted to his mother before he could catch his breath.

Aunt Zhang has been busy building a new house recently. Although she is tired, she is in better spirits.

As she walked towards her son, she asked, "What's the matter? If you have something, just take it out. What are you doing hiding it?"

Zhang Jinniu looked around and saw that his younger brothers and sisters were not around, so he directly threw the money in front of his mother.

The white silver glowed with a cool light.

Aunt Zhang felt that her eyes were dazzled, as if her eyes were dazzled.

Did she actually see the silver?

Zhang Jinniu quickly explained clearly the matter of sending charcoal and Bai Ziqian buying charcoal and paying cash in cash.

Aunt Zhang was so happy that she didn’t know what to do!

She took the silver and rubbed it over and over again. She loved it very much.

Then he hurriedly told his eldest son: "We don't need to carry charcoal to Niutou Town to sell it. The free time can be used to burn more;

You take a few small ones down there and burn a lot of charcoal before the Chinese New Year.

Speaking of which, your sister-in-law Shui Qing, Brother Fan, is still taking care of our family. We have to be kind people, so we can only send more or less charcoal! "

There is no money for the firewood, and the kiln for burning charcoal is ready-made. This is a costless business.

In the past, we had to pick out the charcoal and sell it. Only the gold and silver oxen at home could pick up the charcoal. Last year, the copper oxen could also pick up half of the charcoal. But if the three of them went to sell charcoal, the one and a half hour round trip would be tiring, and selling charcoal would also be tiring. Particularly time consuming.

If you use this time and energy to burn charcoal now, you will definitely be able to burn more charcoal than in previous years!

Zhang Jinniu came out of his trance and nodded heavily: "Auntie is right."

Where can I buy charcoal if I have money?

Bai Ziqian gave them the money because he was a guest at Shuiqing's sister-in-law's house, and Shuiqing's sister-in-law ordered the money from them.

Aunt Zhang excitedly walked around the low thatched house, and suddenly she thought that Shui Qing was a noble person in their family!

If there is anything good, think about her family in advance.

Money is never withheld.

After a while, I thought that I must complete what she told me well.

After a while, I thought about how hard the children have been working during this time. Fortunately, now they not only eat rice noodles, but also can eat dry biscuits.

Moreover, the clear water was given to the fermented rice and mixed into flour or rice milk. The resulting pancakes are fluffy and soft, and they are always delicious!

Several children love to eat.

Recently, the family has been working hard to build a house with adobe and cut firewood and burn charcoal. Why not buy some meat to eat.

Pig waste is cheap. Although the smell is not good, it is not bad if you wash it with plant ash several times and stir-fry it with some spicy pepper. At least it is a meat dish.

There are also eggs. Now that you earn money from other things, you don’t have to exchange all the eggs you have for salt and items every day.

Shuiqing said that eggs are a good thing and are the best way to nourish the body. Steam them and feed them to the children to nourish the body.

There is also salt. I will buy a lot of it when I go out this time and marinate the fish that the youngest has caught. It will be a good dish for guests coming in the first month of the year...

Zhang Jinniu heard that his mother was going to Niutou Town to buy pig offal for them to eat. She also said that from now on, the family would cook three eggs in steamed water and eat them every day. She was as happy as if she was celebrating the New Year!

I immediately felt that I could burn another five hundred pounds of charcoal!

Shui Qing looked at the freshly baked charcoal and began to think about what to have for dinner.

How about a barbecue?
