The happy little days of crossing

At a quarter of the hour, the sixteen employees of the store went home from get off work, and came to work at three quarters of the next day.

Lin Baoer trusts Zhou Feng very much, so the money earned by the shop today is counted by Zhou Feng.He and several others got into the carriage and went back to the village.Zhou Feng lives in the shop from now on, and Lin Dazhuang transports fresh ingredients from the village to the shop every day, paying 800 copper coins a month.

After the eight Lin Baoer returned to the village, they each went home to make dinner. They hadn't had dinner yet, and they were hungry now.

Lin Baoer, Lin Haner and Zhang Xiuer cooked dinner together.After dinner was ready, the five of them ate dinner together.After dinner, the five of them sat around the charcoal fire, talking and laughing, very happy.Seeing that it was late, the five of them took a shower and said goodnight to each other, then went back to their rooms, fell asleep, and had a good night's dream.

Time passed quickly, and thirteen days passed like this.

Today is the day when Lin Baoer's new house was built.It took 28 days for Lin Baoer's new house to be completed.However, Lin Bao'er and Lin Han'er are not in a hurry to move into the new house, they have to wait for three days, because this is the custom in Linjia Village - the new house needs to wait for three days before moving into the new house.There is nothing particular about this custom, it has just been passed down from the generation of the ancestors. Can the younger generations disobey the rules?

The six people who helped Lin Baoer's house renovate came to Zhang Xiuer's house today to collect their wages.

"Brother Bao, we are here." Li Ahsi, the elder among the six, said.

"Six uncles, you are here, come in and sit by the fire. You wait for me and I will give you your wages."

The six people responded, opened the curtain and walked into the hall of Zhang Xiuer's house, went to the table and sat down.

Today, Lin Dazhuang's family of three, together with Lin Han'er, carried their own bacon and sausages to Lin Chengan's house to smoke bacon and sausages together.Lin Bao'er originally wanted to go with him, but he thought that Li and Ah Si would come to collect their wages today, so he had to stay at home alone and wait for the six of them, and then he went after the six of them were paid their wages. Join Lin Han'er and the other four.

Lin Baoer came out of the room with a money bag, pen, ink and paper. After sitting down, Lin Baoer smiled and said to the six people: "Six uncles, this is your wages. The total is 2520 Wen. It's all tied up with a red thread."

Li Ahsi took the money bag that Lin Baoer handed to them, and after taking his share of the money, he handed over the remaining money to the remaining five people.

"Brother Bao, we have received our wages, and we still have something to do at home, so let's go back first."

"Yeah, Brother Bao, let's go home."

"Okay, six uncles, if you have something to do at home, go back quickly."

The six nodded, opened the curtain and walked out. They opened the courtyard door of Zhang Xiuer's house and walked out. The last person closed the open courtyard door.

After Lin Baoer waited for the six people to leave, she recorded the wages of the six people on the account.This time his family spent a total of 11 taels, 895 renminbi for blue bricks, cement, lime and wood for the renovation of the house, and 2520 renminbi for helpers.The charcoal expenses for Chinese New Year preparations are 260 renminbi.Lin Baoer recorded all the expenses in his small account book, and he calculated that after deducting these expenses, he had 29 taels and 625 Wen left in his savings.After Lin Baoer collected the account book, she went to the village carpenter Lin Dacheng's house.

Lin Baoer walked to Lin Dacheng's house, saw that the door of Lin Dacheng's house was open, and walked in. "Uncle Dacheng."

Lin Dacheng was nailing a table, and when he heard someone calling him, he looked up, "It's you, Brother Bao, you came to see the furniture you told me to make, I've finished it, and I'll press it too." You said it was painted. Now just wait for another two days to get rid of the smell."

"That's just right. My house has just been repaired today, and the new furniture can be moved in when we move in three days."

"Well, on the day Brother Bao moves, my family Zhiyong and I will help you carry the furniture into your house."

"Okay, then I will trouble you, Uncle Dacheng, remember to come and have a drink then."

"Hehe, okay, our family of three will definitely go there then."

"Okay, then Uncle Dacheng, I'll give you the rest of the money."

Lin Dacheng waved his hand to signal Lin Baoer not to give him the money now, "Brother Bao, you can give me the rest of the money when we bring the furniture into your house."

"Alright then, Uncle Dacheng still has some work at home, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, Brother Bao, you can go home."

"Well, I'll go first." Lin Baoer walked out of Lin Dacheng's house, and walked towards Lin Chengan's house.

Three days passed quickly. Yesterday Zhou Feng came to the village and brought the ledger and money after the wages of the workers had been settled.The shopkeeper’s monthly salary and the shop assistant’s monthly salary totaled 14 taels and 600 Wen. In fact, the shop has only been open for 16 days, so the extra wages of the shop assistants are regarded as employee benefits for the Chinese New Year.In the 16 days since the store opened, the cost of ingredients has totaled 8 taels and 365 renminbi.The store has made a total of 16 taels and 45 taels of money in the past 165 days. After excluding the workers' food expenses of 23 taels and 165 taels, the store's net profit is 22 taels.

Lin Baoer looked through the account book and felt that this was too much money, but he thought he could bear it, after all, who doesn't want to make more money.In fact, there is a reason why the shop earned so much money in just [-] days. Lin Baoer’s recently launched hot pot and mapo tofu are very popular among customers. In addition, the food in the shop is delicious, and the shop assistants have a good attitude. Those who have food can still be packed, the business is booming, and of course they make more money.Lin Baoer looked at the account book, although the salaries of the shop assistants seem to be a bit too much, but Lin Baoer does not think that the salary of the shop assistants is too much, after all, they are good to the shop assistants and give them enough benefits, so they will do things for him sincerely .

After Lin Baoer distributed the money earned by the store to several other people according to the shares, Zhou Feng asked Zhou Feng to tell Zhou Chen, Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yuan that they would come to their moving banquet with him tomorrow, and by the way, give Zhou Yuan the part of their shares Give them money.Lin Fu and the others were very happy with the money they got. The shop has made so much money just after it opened, and it will definitely make more money in the future.They are now convinced that following Lin Baoer can make money.

Today is the day when Lin Baoer and Lin Haner's family moved to a new house.Early in the morning, the two younger brothers, Zhang Xiu'er, Liu Lian'er, and Lin Dacheng's husband, were busy in the kitchen after breakfast.

Near noon, the people who came to Lin Baoer's house to attend the moving banquet came to Lin Baoer's house with their respective gifts.

After Lin Baoer entertained them and let them visit his house casually, she went into the kitchen to work.A few husbands who came to the moving banquet also went into the kitchen to help, and the rest of the dozen or so men and boys visited Lin Baoer and Lin Haner's new home.

The front yard of Lin Baoer's house is still similar to the previous layout, except that there is an extra shelf. Lin Baoer thinks that he will plant grapes in the front yard in summer, and when the grapes cover the shelf, he can enjoy the shade.By the way, Lin Baoer also worked out a device that can be used to pump water manually. He buried bamboo pipes in the ground to lead to their bathroom and kitchen, so that they don’t have to fetch water from the well every day. The restaurants in the county shops Such a device is also employed.In addition, Lin Baoer's house has been equipped with earth dragons, and when the earth dragons are burned in winter, it will not be cold.The grocery room on the first floor of Lin Baoer's house is still the grocery room. Lin Han'er's room was converted into a bathroom, Lin Baoer's room was converted into a study room, and Lin Dashan's room remained unchanged.There are three rooms on the second floor of the new house, and a small hall that fits in the middle.The backyard of the new house is a small vegetable field surrounded by a fence, and there is a breeding room for poultry and cattle, and by the way, there are two toilets with bamboo floors.

After more than a dozen people visited Lin Baoer's new home, they all thought in unison: This kind of house is really good, with good decoration and good furniture, and they will also repair the house like this in the future.

At noon, Lin Baoer and Lin Haner went out of the kitchen to tell the guests that it was time to have lunch, and invited them to sit down.After the guests were seated, the helping husbands brought the food to the table.This time, in addition to Lin Dazhuang's family who are closest to Lin Baoer's Lin Haner's family, Lin Chengan and his wife, and Lin Fu, 16 people came, divided into three tables.The meals on each table consisted of a stewed chicken soup with mushrooms, a dish of braised pork, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a dish of shredded potatoes with vinegar, a dish of fried meat with lettuce, a dish of stir-fried cabbage, and a pot of stuffed peach blossoms.

When everyone was seated and ready to eat, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Feng arrived late with congratulatory gifts.

"Uncle Yuan, Uncle Feng, why are you here so late, but it's just time for lunch, Han'er hurry up and get two pairs of bowls and chopsticks."

"Okay, Haner is going now." Lin Han ran into the kitchen and brought out two pairs of clean dishes.

After Zhou Yuan and Zhou Feng sat down, they put the gift aside.Zhou Yuan smiled and said to Lin Baoer: "Brother Bao, because the New Year is approaching, the two young masters have gone back to the capital and cannot come to congratulate, so they specially asked me and Ah Feng to bring their congratulatory gifts." He pointed to the topmost gift on the table beside him.

"Hehe, I would like to ask Uncle Zhou to convey our thanks to Han'er and me." Lin Baoer had known for a long time that Zhou Chen and Zhou Yan were of extraordinary identities. Other recipes never lower the price.

"That's natural."

"Then let's have lunch quickly."

"it is good."

Everyone had lunch in a burst of joy.

After lunch, the husbands and boys cleaned up the kitchen, while the men and boys wiped the table and cleaned up.After doing this, all the guests went home with a bag of candy.

After Zhou Yuan and Zhou Feng stayed for dinner, they got into the carriage and returned to the town.

After dinner, the banquet dissipated. After Lin Baoer and the others cleaned up the dishes and said goodbye to each other, Lin Dazhuang and the others went home with a bag of candy each.

After Lin Baoer and Lin Haner washed up, they each lay on their own beds with smiles on their lips. It was great that they lived in their new house. If their father and dad saw them living so well in the sky, they would be very happy.Thinking of this, the two brothers fell asleep with a smile.
