Exile Transformation [Farming]
Chapter 96
Shen Yu watched Carpenter Tan keep his hands together, splicing one board after another, and occasionally laying a layer of iron boards. He felt that the matter was too big. It seemed difficult.
Carpenter Tan saw the kid in a daze, and called out, "Boy Yu, do you see clearly?"
Shen Yu asked weakly, "Uncle Tan, can you slow down?"
When Carpenter Tan heard this, he dismantled the wooden frame that had been assembled just now, "Come on, we have never, after all, you have never learned this."
This time, Shen Yu didn't dare to go on a errand, but when he saw it, he couldn't learn it in his hands. Even if he understood it, he would forget it later. More than 100, how can he understand it after reading it once?Even though Carpenter Tan marked the inner board, he couldn't understand it, and it wasn't Arabic numerals.
So for a non-talented player like him, this kind of thing should be familiar with both hands and eyes.
After all, an abandoned house is an abandoned house.
Finally, after Carpenter Tan dismantled it twice, Shen Yu finally made a request, "Uncle Tan, do you still have two sets of this kind? You teach while I learn. Do you think this is good?"
Carpenter Tan took a look at Shen Yu, and felt that although this kid didn't have much talent for carpentry, he was quite flexible.
"Sure, you wait, I'll look for it, there should be some boards, but the iron may not be enough."
Carpenter Tan searched around the house, dismantled all the previously abandoned shelves, and went to drive the rivets. After spending more than an hour, he finally put together a set.
At this time, Shen Yu had come out with his head together, and seeing Uncle Tan sitting over, he hurriedly said to Carpenter Tan, "Uncle, I have another idea."
"What idea?"
"In this way, Uncle Tan, can you write the numbers one by one, no matter traditional or simplified, and then I will assemble them in turn according to the numbers. Isn't it easier?"
Carpenter Tan glanced at him, "Didn't I mark it?"
Yes, but he can't understand it, who knows where the Martian language is?
"Let's do it." Carpenter Tan's tone was a little helpless, he felt that he didn't have such patience.
"Look, the first and the second, there is a hidden hook between them, no rivets are needed, the third piece is fastened, and the fourth one needs to be clamped from the middle, and half of the clamp is added with iron..."
Shen Yu felt that after adding numbers, he could barely be regarded as a talented player.
Carpenter Tan looked at Shen Yu's smug expression and looked up at the sky silently, "Come on, boy Yu, take it apart first, and then reassemble it."
Shen Yu looked at the first finished product, feeling a little bit reluctant.
"You have to be proficient in this technique, otherwise how can you teach others?"
Yes yo.
After dismantling and reassembling, reassembling and dismantling, after four or five times in a row, Shen Yu actually had a little fun, and the time it took was getting shorter and shorter. It took a day to assemble once at first, but it only took one afternoon in the end. time.
Of course, this speed is incomparable to that of Carpenter Tan. It only takes more than an hour for Carpenter Tan to assemble one.
Is this the difference between a talented player and a hardworking player?After tossing and tossing seven or eight times, there is no problem with the wooden parts and the like, which is indeed considered to be of excellent quality.
"The wood used to make these is hardwood. Generally, beds can be used for hundreds of years. Don't worry, as long as these materials are not intentionally damaged, you don't have to worry about damage in recent years. If they are damaged, it's easy to deal with. Just replace it."
Shen Yu felt that, for the sake of quality, when selecting materials, shopkeeper Hu must be careful.
Shen Yu felt that he was very proficient, and since tomorrow was the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, it was only two days before New Year's Eve, so he told Carpenter Tan that he would not come tomorrow.
Carpenter Tan also had no objection, "Okay, you take this apart and take it back. It's okay to practice your hands. Don't be unfamiliar in a year."
"no problem."
Shen Yu used a donkey cart to carry his things back. It was getting dark and there was no one on the road. The reason for the new year was approaching. Although the whole village was no different from usual, the village road was cleaned and the house was clean. The exterior has been completely refurbished.At this time, even the most sloppy people will clean the whole house.
"Hey, the fifth child of our family has come back from studying art?" The fourth child was pasting Spring Festival couplets on the door, when he turned around, he saw Shen Yu driving an ox cart back from Carpenter Tan.
"Hey, where did you buy the Spring Festival couplets? The words are so beautiful."
Shen Laosi smiled mysteriously, "Guess?"
Shen Yu thought for a while, "Brother Feng Shu or Brother Wang Shu?"
"neither."
Shen Yu was puzzled, "Who wrote that? Rain or Jingzhe?"
Elder Shen was overjoyed, "Fifth, rain and stinging insects, how long has it been since you entered school? Will you be able to write Spring Festival couplets?"
"Yeah, who wrote it then?"
"Your Mu Jing wrote it." Shen Laosi said, and took him to see the Spring Festival couplets, "Look, isn't this word very beautiful?"
Mu Jing wrote it, "What are you talking about? Mu Jing wrote it, he would write this?"
Shen Laosi glanced at him angrily, "Ren Mujing was born as a child anyway, so what's the point of writing Spring Festival couplets?"
Only then did Shen Yu remember that there was such a thing, so he quickly put it on the red couplet, "Yeah, fourth brother, look at this word, it's so beautiful, look at how well this family happiness is written, stroke by stroke, How domineering, and look at the artistic conception of this writing of removing the old and welcoming the new! Most people can't write it."
Fourth Shen's dead face, it was the first time he knew that the fifth son of their family was like this,
Shen Jiang asked, "Why did my little brother get on the Spring Festival couplets?"
Fourth Shen took Shen Jiangshi's hand, "Hey, don't worry about him, why did you come out? Is it cold?"
"Just come out for a while, why is it cold? Didn't you come here like this before?"
"Can this year compare with previous years? This year is much colder."
Shen Jiangshi is pregnant with a child, and her constitution is prone to hot and dry. She doesn't feel that this year is colder than previous years. She glanced at Shen Laosi complainingly, "Why is it cold? Mother said it will snow again. Isn't that all right?" It’s almost Chinese New Year, why isn’t it snowing?”
"It's good if it doesn't snow. If it snows all over our side, there will be snow disasters in other places."
"That's true." Shen Jiang nodded in agreement, "Come on, call my younger brother, mother told me to call you to Tan Carpenter's house to call my younger brother back for dinner, now that my younger brother just comes back, there is no need to go to Tan Carpenter's house. "
"Eat, let's go! I'm starving to death." Shen Yu didn't need anyone to shout at all, and drove the donkey into the door, "Come on, baby, hurry up, I'll give you a handful of pancakes when we get to the shed .”
The donkey seemed to understand, and walked faster.
"Why does this donkey look like a spirit?" Shen Laosi asked suspiciously as he watched the donkey know the way.
Shen Jiangshi joked, "How can this animal become smart? It's just an old horse that knows its way."
"Do you think that's what it said in the book? The fox will turn into a beautiful lady in order to repay the favor? Could it be that you didn't buy the donkey, but you saved it?" Before Shen Laosi could laugh, she changed her voice again. , "However, that fox can transform into a pretty girl, and this donkey will probably transform into...a big man with a square face?"
The corners of Shen Laosi's mouth twitched, and he said that he shouldn't buy a book for his wife.
"Haha."
Today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. There is a tradition here, that is, the whole family has to take a bath, wash their hair and clothes today, commonly known as - to get rid of mold.
The big stove had been used to cook rice long ago, and Old Man Shen started up the three stoves where the ingredients were steamed, and burned two large pots, all of which were soaked in saponins.
I have to say that Saponin is really a miraculous thing. It can wash hair, wash hands, take a bath, and wash clothes, just like the soap before.
After dinner, Shen Yu was the first to be urged to take a bath, followed by Shen Yushui and his brothers, then his brothers, and then came in order.There is no way, the place to take a bath is so big, and I used to go to the yard to wash in the summer.But it's winter now, it's so cold?Don't take a bath, you will freeze into a popsicle before you take a bath.
I prepared well today, even after taking a shower, it was only after seven o'clock when we got together in the main room.
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen sat at the main seats, beaming with joy, as if there was some great joyous event.
You are sitting in the main room are adults, not a single child.
Shen Yu asked curiously, "Father and mother, do you have any great event?" He found out while eating, that the old man and his mother were very happy today.
"It's a happy event."
Old man Shen patted the big box on the table, "Today, I have something to talk about."
Boss Shen and his brothers had some vague guesses. The fifth brother was not here today. They brothers saw shopkeeper Hu coming, talked with old man Shen for a while, and finally left a big box behind.
Old man Shen said to Shen Yu, "Today, shopkeeper Hu came and said that the interest on your toothpaste came down."
Shen Yu nodded, it should be about this time.
"How much did you divide?"
"320 six taels." Old man Shen said.
"So much? Divide the money quickly." Shen Yu used to think that he was quite rich, but the 500 from the wine seller was all bought by old man Shen, and then 30 taels to Carpenter Tan. He felt that he was so poor!
If it weren't for the fast dividends, Shen Yu felt that he would not be able to send out the new year's money for his nephews and nieces.
Mrs. Shen gave him a funny look, "Why are you panicking? You can't run away."
"I can't run, but I'm flustered."
"That's not right, fifth son, aren't you quite rich? You still spend this little money?" Speaking of the whole family, who is fourth son Shen most envious of?None other than the fifth.
"Tell me, what money do I have?"
"You send so much money every month, and you don't have much expenses, how can you have no money?"
Shen Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Cut, do you believe that I don't have any money even if I dry my pockets?"
"Do not believe."
Old man Shen believed it. The old fifth spent more money and spent more. As far as Carpenter Tan is concerned, the fifth gave 30 taels. Are those daily necessities free every month?
"Okay, let's start dividing the money." Old man Shen knocked on the table, "You came up with this toothpaste method, the fifth, and no one else has a share. In the past, half of the 500 taels was paid, but last time you paid all the [-] taels." Once you hand it in, I will use it to buy the mountain, and you don’t have to hand in the other half this time.”
He motioned the old woman to send the box to Shen Yu, "This is the 320 taels, you do the math."
It's useless for Shen Yu to ask for so much money, so he said, "It's useless for me to ask for so much money, let's follow the previous rules and pay half of it!"
Old man Shen disagreed, and stared, "Then according to the rules, I still owe you 250 last month."
Shen Yu wanted to laugh when he heard the 250, but he couldn't laugh when he saw Old Man Shen's serious face, "Father, don't you want to build a new house? This time you bought the mountain, you have enough money, right?"
"The money can be made again, at worst, it will be repaired later."
The brothers of the Shen family felt a little sour when they realized this, especially the fourth Shen, who made such a trip, and fortunately earned three or forty taels of silver, but it turned out that the fifth was not as much as the fifth.
"Fifth, I'm sore."
"What's so sour, if you have the ability, would you like some toothpaste?"
"Speaking of toothpaste, why haven't I seen it sold in this town?"
"It's normal if I haven't seen it. Our town is not very rich. It must be sold to the county."
Shen Song squeezed her man, is this the time to discuss this?Certainly not.
Who knew that Shen's second son had a serious heart, and looked at her puzzled, "Daughter-in-law, why are you pinching me?"
The corner of Shen Song's mouth twitched, "It's okay."
"Okay, let's talk about this month's money." The old man Shen has also become more refined, and has already taken his notebook and started to learn how to make an account book, and Shen Yu also gave him a form, how much he spent and how much he entered, and he remembered it one by one. Clearly.
"This month, I sold mushrooms for a total of more than 61 taels of silver. The two fat pigs were sold for four taels and six taels of money, and I made a total of 66 taels and three taels of money. I spent a total of 65 taels of money on chicken fry and various flowers. There is 63 taels left, and tomorrow we will have a reunion year, so we have to buy some good food, and we will get [-] taels, and we will have [-] taels left.” Old man Shen calculated the accounts clearly, and Shen Yu and Shen Laosi bought them. Those things cannot be counted in the public account, because if they are counted, they will not be counted at all.
"Now, your family counts six, two, three, and fifty copper coins. Do you think it is correct?"
"That's right." Old man Shen is the most educated member of the Shen family, and if he miscalculates, he's blind.
"Okay, the old lady will give you the money."
While feeling distressed, Mrs. Shen gave money to her sons.
After the money was distributed, everyone stared at Shen Yu, this is the biggest winner of the whole family.
Shen Yu held a huge sum of 320 taels, and said, "What are you doing?"
Fourth Shen said first, "Fifth, next year your brother is going to do something big, are you interested in joining?"
"Have you made your new formula yet?" Shen Yu asked.
"It's done, it's done, let's try this taste again when we have time."
Shen Yu nodded, "Then let's discuss it when we have time."
Shen Yu also wanted to do something big, but he was worried that he didn't have enough money. Now that he had money, he had to do it no matter what.
Then he asked Boss Shen and the others, "Brother, are you still asleep?"
"Sleep, why don't you sleep?"
Having said that, I looked at the box in Shen Yu's hand, but I was a little envious, more than 300 taels, who dared to think before?
At night, Mrs. Shen Song was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and Shen's second child could not fall asleep even after being yelled at by her. Not very happy, he asked, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, fishing."
"I said, you don't have any ideas? It's more than 300 taels, I'll be good."
"What are you thinking about, go to sleep, you won't get it even if you think about it." Did Shen Er Er have no idea?That's impossible, more than 300 taels, what can you do?It is enough to build a beautiful green brick house, send Jingzhe and Qingming to go to school in the town, even buy ten acres of paddy fields, and after four or five years, marry Jingzhe Qingming a good wife who manages the family well.
"No, the younger brother said he would give half of it to the family. Why did dad object? If he didn't object, he should be able to build a new house next year."
"Go ahead, you'll know you're playing tricks on the money. The fifth child only took 500 taels last month. Why wouldn't father and mother let him take money out again? Otherwise, what face do we brothers have in front of the fifth child?"
Shen Song was a little awkward, "Here, shouldn't it be right for me to earn more and get more?"
"If you want to earn so much, tell you to take it out, what are you doing?"
Shen Song shut up quickly, so she wouldn't do it.
"So, don't say such things, let mother hear, you will have to be scolded, the younger brother is capable, and you will not suffer if you hang out with him."
Although Shen Song was still thinking about the money, she obediently kept her mouth shut.
This kind of thing didn't only happen to Shen Laoer, it was also mentioned in several other rooms.
Fourth Shen asked Shen Jiang, "Daughter-in-law, how much money do we have?"
Shen Jiang took out the silver box, pawned the sixty-two, three-fifty cash that was distributed today, and poured it out again, "I'll count again."
"A total of 16 taels and 91 taels." After counting, Shen Jiang was unhappy again, "You said you, you didn't go that trip and you still had 30 taels of silver at home. It's only 16 taels."
"Hey, daughter-in-law, it's not a loss. When I come back in the spring of next year, you will make a lot of money. I will give you a gold bracelet then."
"Go, who wants your gold bracelet? If so, just bring me two more copies of the notebook."
Fourth Shen remembered that big square-faced man who came to repay his kindness, and for a while, he felt that making money was not so good.
"Daughter-in-law, go to sleep. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and Tian'er should go to the market to buy things early in the morning."
"Oh." Shen Jiang replied and blew out the oil lamp.
Shen Yu didn't know who Xiao Jiujiu was, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, this day is Shen Yu’s reunion year. Early in the morning, Boss Shen followed Shen Laosi and drove the donkey cart to the town. Today, he wants to buy two big hooves, four live fish, sugar cakes, four chickens, and two big donkeys. Goose, but also to buy meat and short ribs.
Boss Shen and Fourth Shen are quick at work, and when the work is divided, which one buys what and which one buys?
Then ask where to wait for someone.
The donkey cart was fast, and it was only after eight o'clock when the two returned home, just in time for Shen Yu to get up.
"Hey, Fifth, why are you up so late? Look, Gu Yu is even more diligent than you."
Shen Yu was a little embarrassed. He held the silver and thought about what to do with it for a long time yesterday, but he had a lot of things to do, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
I simply thought about all the things I wanted to do one by one to see if it was feasible, but when I really thought about it, it was almost midnight, and I went to bed late today.
"You guys came back from buying vegetables? What did you buy?" Shen Yu leaned into the donkey cart, and ended up meeting a big goose face to face.
嘎
One person and one goose move at the same time, one is stretching its neck to peck people, and the other is retreating reflexively.
Goose, this kind of ferocious animal that is said to be no less than a dog, Shen Yu felt that he was no match.
"Haha, fifth brother, your reaction is really fast. Brother and I are in the same boat. Look at my hand." Shen Laosi took out his hand, and there was a red ball on the back of his hand.
Then he took out the chicken and goose from the carriage, handed two to Shen Yu, and picked up two by himself.
"Hey, fourth child, why are you so mean-spirited? You can't remind your brother when you've been pecked at, and you still come to watch the excitement of the brothers. Can we still be good brothers?"
"Hey, two brothers have to have the same blessings and share the same hardships. Isn't that how you can be called good brothers?"
Shen Yu wanted to give Shen Laosi a thumbs-up, but thought that he still had two chickens in his hand, so forget it, "Fourth brother, one day, we will have to suffer together."
"No, we have already suffered together, let's go, we are still waiting to be killed and stewed."
There are quite a lot of people in the Shen family, and when they got to the stove, they found that Mu Jing had actually come, and was following old Shen around the earthen stove.
The so-called earthen stove is a temporary stove that is used as a stove, and it is built with stones at random. After all, it is only used once, and it doesn't need to be so delicate.
As a very good Huotou army, old man Shen couldn't trouble him with this kind of basic work. Soon, he set up an earthen stove.
"Come here, put the clay pot on, add some water, and see if it works?"
Soon someone put a clay pot on it, added water to it, and then ignited the fire again.
As soon as Shen Yu and Shen Laosi appeared, they were discovered by Mu Jing. He took the chicken from Shen Yu's hand, "Are you awake?"
Well, sleeping late was actually found out by the object, and such an embarrassing thing was actually met by him.
Fortunately, Shen Yu was still a bit thick-skinned, and said without blushing, "Wake up, when did you come?"
"It's not long."
Shen Lao Er felt a little bit of toothache watching from the side, and seeing that they seemed to want to continue, he finally couldn't help it, "Bring the chicken, I'll kill it."
Mu Jing handed the chicken to Shen Lao Er, and asked Shen Yu, "Is there any more?"
Shen Yu understood what he meant, nodded, "There should be more."
"No, no, I brought it up with the boss."
Fourth Shen carried two pork legs, and Boss Shen carried a wooden bucket in his hand.
Shen Yu looked up, the one who killed the chicken killed the chicken, the one who killed the goose killed the goose, even Shen Yushui and the others were helping to wash the onions and peel the garlic, only he and Mu Jing were idlers.
So, pulling Mu Jing, "Come on, let's go pluck the chicken feathers."
Mu Jing is a hunter, and he kills chickens and pigs with feathers. There may be no one in the Shen family who can do it. There is no need for Shen Yu to do it. He went to the pot and boiled water. The skin is scalded.
"You can be considered a decathlon." Shen Yu is quite satisfied with Mu Jing, with long legs and thin waist, good looks, and full of survival skills.
"Practice, I didn't know how to pluck chicken feathers before."
Carpenter Tan saw the kid in a daze, and called out, "Boy Yu, do you see clearly?"
Shen Yu asked weakly, "Uncle Tan, can you slow down?"
When Carpenter Tan heard this, he dismantled the wooden frame that had been assembled just now, "Come on, we have never, after all, you have never learned this."
This time, Shen Yu didn't dare to go on a errand, but when he saw it, he couldn't learn it in his hands. Even if he understood it, he would forget it later. More than 100, how can he understand it after reading it once?Even though Carpenter Tan marked the inner board, he couldn't understand it, and it wasn't Arabic numerals.

"Let's do it." Carpenter Tan's tone was a little helpless, he felt that he didn't have such patience.
"Look, the first and the second, there is a hidden hook between them, no rivets are needed, the third piece is fastened, and the fourth one needs to be clamped from the middle, and half of the clamp is added with iron..."
Shen Yu felt that after adding numbers, he could barely be regarded as a talented player.
Carpenter Tan looked at Shen Yu's smug expression and looked up at the sky silently, "Come on, boy Yu, take it apart first, and then reassemble it."
Shen Yu looked at the first finished product, feeling a little bit reluctant.
"You have to be proficient in this technique, otherwise how can you teach others?"
Yes yo.
After dismantling and reassembling, reassembling and dismantling, after four or five times in a row, Shen Yu actually had a little fun, and the time it took was getting shorter and shorter. It took a day to assemble once at first, but it only took one afternoon in the end. time.
Of course, this speed is incomparable to that of Carpenter Tan. It only takes more than an hour for Carpenter Tan to assemble one.
Is this the difference between a talented player and a hardworking player?After tossing and tossing seven or eight times, there is no problem with the wooden parts and the like, which is indeed considered to be of excellent quality.

Shen Yu felt that, for the sake of quality, when selecting materials, shopkeeper Hu must be careful.
Shen Yu felt that he was very proficient, and since tomorrow was the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, it was only two days before New Year's Eve, so he told Carpenter Tan that he would not come tomorrow.
Carpenter Tan also had no objection, "Okay, you take this apart and take it back. It's okay to practice your hands. Don't be unfamiliar in a year."
"no problem."
Shen Yu used a donkey cart to carry his things back. It was getting dark and there was no one on the road. The reason for the new year was approaching. Although the whole village was no different from usual, the village road was cleaned and the house was clean.

Most people can't write it."
Fourth Shen's dead face, it was the first time he knew that the fifth son of their family was like this,
Shen Jiang asked, "Why did my little brother get on the Spring Festival couplets?"
Fourth Shen took Shen Jiangshi's hand, "Hey, don't worry about him, why did you come out? Is it cold?"
"Just come out for a while, why is it cold? Didn't you come here like this before?"
"Can this year compare with previous years? This year is much colder."
Shen Jiangshi is pregnant with a child, and her constitution is prone to hot and dry. She doesn't feel that this year is colder than previous years. She glanced at Shen Laosi complainingly, "Why is it cold? Mother said it will snow again. Isn't that all right?" It’s almost Chinese New Year, why isn’t it snowing?”
"It's good if it doesn't snow. If it snows all over our side, there will be snow disasters in other places."
"That's true." Shen Jiang nodded in agreement, "Come on, call my younger brother, mother told me to call you to Tan Carpenter's house to call my younger brother back for dinner, now that my younger brother just comes back, there is no need to go to Tan Carpenter's house. "
"Eat, let's go! I'm starving to death." Shen Yu didn't need anyone to shout at all, and drove the donkey into the door, "Come on, baby, hurry up, I'll give you a handful of pancakes when we get to the shed .”
The donkey seemed to understand, and walked faster.
"Why does this donkey look like a spirit?" Shen Laosi asked suspiciously as he watched the donkey know the way.
Shen Jiangshi joked, "How can this animal become smart? It's just an old horse that knows its way."
"Do you think that's what it said in the book? The fox will turn into a beautiful lady in order to repay the favor? Could it be that you didn't buy the donkey, but you saved it?" Before Shen Laosi could laugh, she changed her voice again. , "However, that fox can transform into a pretty girl, and this donkey will probably transform into...a big man with a square face?"
The corners of Shen Laosi's mouth twitched, and he said that he shouldn't buy a book for his wife.
"Haha."

Boss Shen and his brothers had some vague guesses. The fifth brother was not here today. They brothers saw shopkeeper Hu coming, talked with old man Shen for a while, and finally left a big box behind.
Old man Shen said to Shen Yu, "Today, shopkeeper Hu came and said that the interest on your toothpaste came down."
Shen Yu nodded, it should be about this time.
"How much did you divide?"
"320 six taels." Old man Shen said.
"So much? Divide the money quickly." Shen Yu used to think that he was quite rich, but the 500 from the wine seller was all bought by old man Shen, and then 30 taels to Carpenter Tan. He felt that he was so poor!
If it weren't for the fast dividends, Shen Yu felt that he would not be able to send out the new year's money for his nephews and nieces.
Mrs. Shen gave him a funny look, "Why are you panicking? You can't run away."
"I can't run, but I'm flustered."
"That's not right, fifth son, aren't you quite rich? You still spend this little money?" Speaking of the whole family, who is fourth son Shen most envious of?None other than the fifth.
"Tell me, what money do I have?"
"You send so much money every month, and you don't have much expenses, how can you have no money?"
Shen Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Cut, do you believe that I don't have any money even if I dry my pockets?"
"Do not believe."
Old man Shen believed it. The old fifth spent more money and spent more. As far as Carpenter Tan is concerned, the fifth gave 30 taels. Are those daily necessities free every month?
"Okay, let's start dividing the money." Old man Shen knocked on the table, "You came up with this toothpaste method, the fifth, and no one else has a share. In the past, half of the 500 taels was paid, but last time you paid all the [-] taels." Once you hand it in, I will use it to buy the mountain, and you don’t have to hand in the other half this time.”
He motioned the old woman to send the box to Shen Yu, "This is the 320 taels, you do the math."
It's useless for Shen Yu to ask for so much money, so he said, "It's useless for me to ask for so much money, let's follow the previous rules and pay half of it!"
Old man Shen disagreed, and stared, "Then according to the rules, I still owe you 250 last month."
Shen Yu wanted to laugh when he heard the 250, but he couldn't laugh when he saw Old Man Shen's serious face, "Father, don't you want to build a new house? This time you bought the mountain, you have enough money, right?"
"The money can be made again, at worst, it will be repaired later."
The brothers of the Shen family felt a little sour when they realized this, especially the fourth Shen, who made such a trip, and fortunately earned three or forty taels of silver, but it turned out that the fifth was not as much as the fifth.
"Fifth, I'm sore."
"What's so sour, if you have the ability, would you like some toothpaste?"
"Speaking of toothpaste, why haven't I seen it sold in this town?"
"It's normal if I haven't seen it. Our town is not very rich. It must be sold to the county."
Shen Song squeezed her man, is this the time to discuss this?Certainly not.
Who knew that Shen's second son had a serious heart, and looked at her puzzled, "Daughter-in-law, why are you pinching me?"
The corner of Shen Song's mouth twitched, "It's okay."
"Okay, let's talk about this month's money." The old man Shen has also become more refined, and has already taken his notebook and started to learn how to make an account book, and Shen Yu also gave him a form, how much he spent and how much he entered, and he remembered it one by one. Clearly.
"This month, I sold mushrooms for a total of more than 61 taels of silver. The two fat pigs were sold for four taels and six taels of money, and I made a total of 66 taels and three taels of money. I spent a total of 65 taels of money on chicken fry and various flowers. There is 63 taels left, and tomorrow we will have a reunion year, so we have to buy some good food, and we will get [-] taels, and we will have [-] taels left.” Old man Shen calculated the accounts clearly, and Shen Yu and Shen Laosi bought them. Those things cannot be counted in the public account, because if they are counted, they will not be counted at all.
"Now, your family counts six, two, three, and fifty copper coins. Do you think it is correct?"
"That's right." Old man Shen is the most educated member of the Shen family, and if he miscalculates, he's blind.
"Okay, the old lady will give you the money."
While feeling distressed, Mrs. Shen gave money to her sons.
After the money was distributed, everyone stared at Shen Yu, this is the biggest winner of the whole family.
Shen Yu held a huge sum of 320 taels, and said, "What are you doing?"
Fourth Shen said first, "Fifth, next year your brother is going to do something big, are you interested in joining?"
"Have you made your new formula yet?" Shen Yu asked.
"It's done, it's done, let's try this taste again when we have time."
Shen Yu nodded, "Then let's discuss it when we have time."
Shen Yu also wanted to do something big, but he was worried that he didn't have enough money. Now that he had money, he had to do it no matter what.
Then he asked Boss Shen and the others, "Brother, are you still asleep?"
"Sleep, why don't you sleep?"
Having said that, I looked at the box in Shen Yu's hand, but I was a little envious, more than 300 taels, who dared to think before?
At night, Mrs. Shen Song was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and Shen's second child could not fall asleep even after being yelled at by her. Not very happy, he asked, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, fishing."
"I said, you don't have any ideas? It's more than 300 taels, I'll be good."
"What are you thinking about, go to sleep, you won't get it even if you think about it." Did Shen Er Er have no idea?That's impossible, more than 300 taels, what can you do?It is enough to build a beautiful green brick house, send Jingzhe and Qingming to go to school in the town, even buy ten acres of paddy fields, and after four or five years, marry Jingzhe Qingming a good wife who manages the family well.
"No, the younger brother said he would give half of it to the family. Why did dad object? If he didn't object, he should be able to build a new house next year."
"Go ahead, you'll know you're playing tricks on the money. The fifth child only took 500 taels last month. Why wouldn't father and mother let him take money out again? Otherwise, what face do we brothers have in front of the fifth child?"
Shen Song was a little awkward, "Here, shouldn't it be right for me to earn more and get more?"
"If you want to earn so much, tell you to take it out, what are you doing?"
Shen Song shut up quickly, so she wouldn't do it.
"So, don't say such things, let mother hear, you will have to be scolded, the younger brother is capable, and you will not suffer if you hang out with him."
Although Shen Song was still thinking about the money, she obediently kept her mouth shut.
This kind of thing didn't only happen to Shen Laoer, it was also mentioned in several other rooms.
Fourth Shen asked Shen Jiang, "Daughter-in-law, how much money do we have?"
Shen Jiang took out the silver box, pawned the sixty-two, three-fifty cash that was distributed today, and poured it out again, "I'll count again."
"A total of 16 taels and 91 taels." After counting, Shen Jiang was unhappy again, "You said you, you didn't go that trip and you still had 30 taels of silver at home. It's only 16 taels."
"Hey, daughter-in-law, it's not a loss. When I come back in the spring of next year, you will make a lot of money. I will give you a gold bracelet then."
"Go, who wants your gold bracelet? If so, just bring me two more copies of the notebook."
Fourth Shen remembered that big square-faced man who came to repay his kindness, and for a while, he felt that making money was not so good.
"Daughter-in-law, go to sleep. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and Tian'er should go to the market to buy things early in the morning."
"Oh." Shen Jiang replied and blew out the oil lamp.
Shen Yu didn't know who Xiao Jiujiu was, and even if he knew, he didn't care.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, this day is Shen Yu’s reunion year. Early in the morning, Boss Shen followed Shen Laosi and drove the donkey cart to the town. Today, he wants to buy two big hooves, four live fish, sugar cakes, four chickens, and two big donkeys. Goose, but also to buy meat and short ribs.
Boss Shen and Fourth Shen are quick at work, and when the work is divided, which one buys what and which one buys?
Then ask where to wait for someone.
The donkey cart was fast, and it was only after eight o'clock when the two returned home, just in time for Shen Yu to get up.
"Hey, Fifth, why are you up so late? Look, Gu Yu is even more diligent than you."
Shen Yu was a little embarrassed. He held the silver and thought about what to do with it for a long time yesterday, but he had a lot of things to do, so he didn't know what to do for a while.
I simply thought about all the things I wanted to do one by one to see if it was feasible, but when I really thought about it, it was almost midnight, and I went to bed late today.
"You guys came back from buying vegetables? What did you buy?" Shen Yu leaned into the donkey cart, and ended up meeting a big goose face to face.
嘎
One person and one goose move at the same time, one is stretching its neck to peck people, and the other is retreating reflexively.
Goose, this kind of ferocious animal that is said to be no less than a dog, Shen Yu felt that he was no match.
"Haha, fifth brother, your reaction is really fast. Brother and I are in the same boat. Look at my hand." Shen Laosi took out his hand, and there was a red ball on the back of his hand.
Then he took out the chicken and goose from the carriage, handed two to Shen Yu, and picked up two by himself.
"Hey, fourth child, why are you so mean-spirited? You can't remind your brother when you've been pecked at, and you still come to watch the excitement of the brothers. Can we still be good brothers?"
"Hey, two brothers have to have the same blessings and share the same hardships. Isn't that how you can be called good brothers?"
Shen Yu wanted to give Shen Laosi a thumbs-up, but thought that he still had two chickens in his hand, so forget it, "Fourth brother, one day, we will have to suffer together."
"No, we have already suffered together, let's go, we are still waiting to be killed and stewed."
There are quite a lot of people in the Shen family, and when they got to the stove, they found that Mu Jing had actually come, and was following old Shen around the earthen stove.
The so-called earthen stove is a temporary stove that is used as a stove, and it is built with stones at random. After all, it is only used once, and it doesn't need to be so delicate.
As a very good Huotou army, old man Shen couldn't trouble him with this kind of basic work. Soon, he set up an earthen stove.
"Come here, put the clay pot on, add some water, and see if it works?"
Soon someone put a clay pot on it, added water to it, and then ignited the fire again.
As soon as Shen Yu and Shen Laosi appeared, they were discovered by Mu Jing. He took the chicken from Shen Yu's hand, "Are you awake?"
Well, sleeping late was actually found out by the object, and such an embarrassing thing was actually met by him.
Fortunately, Shen Yu was still a bit thick-skinned, and said without blushing, "Wake up, when did you come?"
"It's not long."
Shen Lao Er felt a little bit of toothache watching from the side, and seeing that they seemed to want to continue, he finally couldn't help it, "Bring the chicken, I'll kill it."
Mu Jing handed the chicken to Shen Lao Er, and asked Shen Yu, "Is there any more?"
Shen Yu understood what he meant, nodded, "There should be more."
"No, no, I brought it up with the boss."
Fourth Shen carried two pork legs, and Boss Shen carried a wooden bucket in his hand.
Shen Yu looked up, the one who killed the chicken killed the chicken, the one who killed the goose killed the goose, even Shen Yushui and the others were helping to wash the onions and peel the garlic, only he and Mu Jing were idlers.
So, pulling Mu Jing, "Come on, let's go pluck the chicken feathers."
Mu Jing is a hunter, and he kills chickens and pigs with feathers. There may be no one in the Shen family who can do it. There is no need for Shen Yu to do it. He went to the pot and boiled water. The skin is scalded.
"You can be considered a decathlon." Shen Yu is quite satisfied with Mu Jing, with long legs and thin waist, good looks, and full of survival skills.
"Practice, I didn't know how to pluck chicken feathers before."
