Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Zhang Shu tried his best to suppress his joy, 1000 taels? !It's not like he hasn't seen so much money before. The total amount of gold, silver and jewelry sold at Houshan definitely exceeds 1000 taels.

But earning 1000 taels at a time by my own ability is beyond my imagination.

He has saved 300 taels of silver by selling spring potatoes and autumn potatoes in the past two years, but after deducting expenses, his net profit is only a little over 200 taels. The reason for the shipping cost.

Relying on his current family property, it is really difficult to start a big business.Not to mention anything else, but the place for making vermicelli in the backyard is small.

The original 20 or more people have already occupied so many places, and there is still room for drying vermicelli. It may not be possible to add more people.

It’s useless to collect more ingredients if you can’t do it manually, and if you want to expand your business, you have to go to some villages just to harvest autumn potatoes, and you can’t ask the villagers to sell a few catties or tens of catties.

Zhang Shu has already started to imagine how to use the 1000 taels. Chu Mo saw that he was frowning and said nothing, but thought he was not satisfied with the amount. He was obviously surprised just now, maybe it was because the amount of surprise was too low. ?It seems that the boss of this chapter is also a calm businessman.

"Boss Zhang, are you dissatisfied with the price? If you have other ideas, why don't you let me know?"

Chu Mo came here from thousands of miles, and he must do this business. Their young master gave him the highest price, as long as it doesn't exceed it.

As soon as he entered the yard, he carefully observed the living conditions of this family. He saw that the arrangement was like an ordinary farmer's household, and it was impossible to tell that they were carrying treasures. They should be very simple.Chu Mo believed that even if Zhang Shu asked for a price, it would not be much higher.

Zhang Shu was reminded by him, and suddenly thought of another way, that is, dividends. He provided them with a prescription, and he would get the dividends after selling as many vermicelli as possible.

But then he dismissed this idea. For one thing, the north has a vast land and resources, and there are countless hiding places. If they take the prescription and run away, the officials in the south will not go to the north to arrest people for him, a small commoner.

Secondly, even if they didn't run away, they could just smooth things over and send him off with a hundred taels of silver, and he wouldn't be able to go to the north to check the accounts anyway.

Thirdly, it is really slow to do this. Maybe when the vermicelli from the north has flowed into the south, he is still tinkering with these things in this small workshop with an acre of land, so it is better to take the money and do the work directly.

Although it is said that there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for doubting people, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Zhang Shu would rather think about things with the worst idea first, than pay for the water with enthusiasm.

But from the fact that Master Chu traveled thousands of miles to ask someone to bring him sweet potatoes, it proves that he is still very loyal. Zhang Shu knows that he is not as good as others in terms of bargaining, so he might as well agree to it and give it to others. Make a good impression.

"I'm very satisfied with the price, I'll write the prescription to you right away." After Zhang Shu finished speaking, he got up and walked in.He doesn't like to be procrastinating when doing things, and he does what he wants to do. Anyway, the shopkeeper Chu took his prescription today and didn't pay him, so he couldn't get out of the village.

Chu Mo was dumbfounded. He already had hundreds of excuses in his mind to lower the price, but his opponent had no intention of going to war with him at all, and immediately called for money to withdraw, which made him feel a little strangely disappointed. He even wondered if the price was too high. up?

After that, he immediately spurned himself and dealt with wild wolves too much, but this time he met an white sheep and felt useless. Isn't this a cheap panic?If everyone is as talkative as Zhang Shu, then he can just lie at home and collect money.

After a while, Zhang Shu came out with the prescription, and the wet ink marks on it were still clearly visible, which was enough to show that the prescription did not exist before, but it is also possible that he copied it according to the prescription.

Chu Mo looked at Fang Zi again and again, and then put it away.He took out a kit from his pocket, and then took out a few pieces of paper from it and handed it to Zhang Shu.

This is... a bank note?Zhang Shu looked at the writing on it, Tongxing Baochao, Huitong Bank, 100 taels.

To be honest, Zhang Shu has never used such a thing as a banknote. In his opinion, this thin piece of paper is not as reliable as real gold and silver. It might be lost or broken at any time.

So he couldn't tell whether the thing was real or not. He looked at Chu Mo and said, "Master Chu, I've never used a bank note. Can I ask Brother Hu to verify it?"

He had doubts in his heart, so he asked directly, which actually made Chu Mo feel good about him. There are more people who talk like lotus flowers outside, but there are many people who are dark and messy in their hearts. It's better to talk like Zhang Shu To put it bluntly, it is good for everyone to figure out Ding vs. Ding Mao vs. Mao in front of their faces.

"Okay!" Chu Mo stood up and shouted, "Old Hu! Old Hu! Come here!"

Hu Caiwang was outside watching the group of fat black pigs eating, and he was having a great time, when he suddenly heard shopkeeper Chu calling him, so he went over.

"What's the matter? It's settled?" Hu Caiwang asked as soon as he entered the main room.Then he saw a few silver bills on the table.

"Brother Hu, can you help me find out if this is true or not? I have never used a banknote."

Hu Caiwang looked at Chu Mo's face and found that he was not unhappy, so he was relieved. This little brother is really straight when he speaks, so he can't be said to be bad, but if he meets someone with a small belly, he may be blamed .

Fortunately, he has a good character, and all he meets are kind-hearted like himself, otherwise his bones would be swallowed by others.Hu Caiwang thought while observing the bank notes.

"Don't worry, these are fine. There is a Huitong Bank in your county, and you can pick it up as you go. I will take you to identify the door another day." Hu Caiwang said.

"Thank you Brother Hu, thank you Shopkeeper Chu. You two stay and have a meal. After the meal, I will make vermicelli for Shopkeeper Chu to see."

Zhang Shu knew that he also had doubts in his heart. Instead of letting him go back to the north to verify again, he might as well settle his mind here. If you make a mistake, you will lose your job at least, and at worst you will be thrown into prison.

Chu Mo was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Brother Zhang Shu is so sincere, how can we refuse? It's disrespectful! It's disrespectful!"

Zhang Shu also smiled, let them do whatever they wanted, and went in to find Li Mujin with these bank notes.

Li Mujin is making a cloth tiger. He likes to make some small things like this. Although the ones he makes are not very similar, everyone is still very supportive.

Li Mujin knew that Zhang Shu was outside negotiating business with people, so when he came in, he asked, "Is the business negotiated?"

"It's over, Jin'er, do you know how much our family has earned this time?" Zhang Shu said excitedly to Li Mujin.

"200 taels?" Li Mujin guessed a number in Gaoli. Maybe Zhang Shu sold all the autumn potato vermicelli this year?

Zhang Shu shook his head, and mysteriously took out a few pieces of paper, "Look, this is a bank note! This one is 100 taels! There are ten pieces in total!"

"Ten sheets, one by one... 1000 taels!!" Li Mujin stood up abruptly, her mouth opened wide, as if she couldn't breathe.

"Yes! It's 1000 taels, haha!"

Zhang Shu laughed loudly, his heart was full of joy.

Li Mujin still looks like that, Zhang Shu is a little strange, is he that surprised?

Li Mujin mechanically turned her head to Zhang Shu, and said with a bitter face, "My pants seem to be wet!"

Happy to pee your pants? !Zhang Shu was stunned, what's going on?Then can he still tell his grandma the money?

"Why are you still standing there! My pants are wet!"

"I'll help you to the hut right away!"

"Help me to bed!" Li Mujin was about to cry, "I'm about to give birth!"

"It's born, oh, it's born!!!" Zhang Shu finally came to his senses. He stuffed the banknote into his arms casually, and then put Li Mujin on the bed.

"I, I, I... to find Mr. Wen! No, I'll call Nai! Me, I,... to find Dad!!" Zhang Shu spoke incoherently, not knowing who to call, and was in a hurry.

Li Muqin's stomach hurts, and she wanted to laugh again, "You go to find Nai first, then go to Mr. Wen, and then let someone call me Dad!" He tried hard to tell Zhang Shu.

"Grandma! Grandma! Come in! Jin'er is about to give birth!" Zhang Shu nodded, and went out as if his butt was on fire all the way, screaming non-stop, and everyone in and outside the courtyard heard it.

He Yue was working, but when he heard the voice, he wiped his hands, "Mother, I'm going to Mujin's house to help, and I'm going to trouble you for lunch today."

"Go, go! Why is the birth half a month ahead of schedule! Let's go!" Lai Wangniang urged He Yue, telling him to go quickly. If there was not a paralyzed old man at home, she would also go to help of.

Grandma Zhang is already in the room, and Yu Xiaoliu has gone to pick up Father Li. Grandpa Zhang has some experience and has already started boiling water.

Zhang Shu came in with Mr. Wen on his back, wishing he could put two wheels on his feet. Mr. Wen was bumped so badly that he wanted to spit on him, but he also understood that this is the case for first-time fathers.

When Mr. Wen came, there were already Grandma Zhang, He Yue, Father Li, and Aunt Ma in their room. Zhang Shu wanted to squeeze in, but was pushed out by everyone.

It wasn't that he was afraid that he would be taboo or something when he saw the blood, but that he would cry later, which would make it difficult for Li Mujin to use his strength.Grandma Zhang and Abba Li already know him very well. Don't look at Zhang Shu's tall and burly man. When it comes to Li Mujin's matter, he will definitely cry like a baby, and no one will take care of him when the time comes.

Li Mujin was quite safe in his heart, with so many people accompanying him, he just had to do what everyone told him to do.He was walked on the ground by Mr. Wen and Abba Li, telling the child to get down as soon as possible.

Zhang Shu was running around in a hurry outside, his eyes were red, and he was in a panic.

Grandpa Zhang came over with a pot of hot water, He Yue took it and closed the door, even if he wanted to take a peek.

……

The two forgotten guests, Hu Caiwang and Chu Mo, were sitting in the main room listening to the movement.Chu Mo was a little embarrassed. It always felt a little bad when someone else's husband gave birth to a child.

Hu Caiwang, however, was drinking tea on the ground in an old spirit. His wife gave birth to four children for him, all of whom were accompanied by him.The first time he was unwilling, his wife almost put a knife on his neck, saying that he must let him see what he had done, and he went in consciously a few times later.

This is not taboo, nor is it dirty.

It is not easy for women and brothers to give birth to children, but the great joy is based on their extreme pain. Hu Caiwang feels that there are two people who must never be sorry in a lifetime, one is his mother, who gave birth to him after so many hardships, and the other is his wife. She tried her best to bear children for him.

It was Zhang Shu's casual admiration for Li Mujin that made Hu Caiwang so devoted to him. In his opinion, such a person would not be a bad person.
