A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family

Chapter 155: dissatisfied

Chapter 155 Dissatisfaction

Cattle are the most important labor force in farming. The price of a good cow is between fifteen taels and twenty taels. She injured the head of He Villages cow and should pay compensation.

Grandpa San and Gu Dashan were also thinking about the cow. When they saw the two children talking, they walked out of the house and said to Gu Jinli, "We are going to return the cow with San Lang. You can go into the house first."

Xiaoyu and Sanlang are both half-grown children, so it is up to the adults to pay compensation to the cow.

Gu Jinli nodded and said, "Hey, Third Grandpa, you go return the cattle, and my mother and I will go cook and wait for you to come back."

Gu Dashan had money on him, so she collected the one tael of silver in her hand and put it back into the cloth bag.

When they went to the county town during the day, she and Gu Dashan each carried a cloth bag, which contained most of the family's silver. There was still some money left. At night, they had to count all the money and hide it again.

"Okay, you can go into the house. Your third grandfather and I will be back soon." Gu Dashan took the soybean oil lamp in her hand and walked in front to light the way.

Grandpa San followed Gu Dashan, Qin Sanlang led the cow, and took the remaining gold medicine. The three of them left the Gu family yard and went to the head of He Village's house.

After the three people left, several families gathered at Gu Jinli's house also went home.

After Cui took the house deed back to the house and hid it, she called Gu Jinxiu, and the two went to the kitchen to cook.

Gu Jinli wanted to follow, but was stopped by two people.

Ms. Cui said: "Just make a meal. Your sister and I can do it soon. You and your brother have a rest first. You two have been busy all day."

"Okay, then I'll just sit and wait for the meal." Gu Jinli didn't insist, but slumped on the stool.

Brother Cheng sat next to Gu Jinli, looked up at her, and asked her what was available in the county.

Gu Jinli picked up what he saw and told him.

Gu Jinan was using the dim light to practice calligraphy on the table with a brush dipped in water, while listening to their conversation, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

Third Grandma was afraid that Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan were hungry, so she went to the kitchen and gave them two bean dregs cakes and two bowls of soy milk: "Eat something first to fill your stomach, and we will eat after your father and the others come back."

Hey. Gu Jinli and Gu Jinan took the bean dregs cakes, drank the soy milk, and finished the bean dregs cakes in a few mouthfuls.

Not long after, Ms. Cui and Gu Jinxiu prepared the food and brought it to the main room on wooden trays. The family waited around the table for about a quarter of an hour before Third Grandpa and Gu Dashan came back.

The two of them stood outside the door and wiped the mud off their feet before entering. After sitting down, they said: "The cows have been returned. Village Chief He said it was okay and took a tael of silver from us. This matter is over."

Village Chief He was thinking about the tofu business, and he didn't want the one tael of silver at first, but it was the third grandfather who said that he would take it one tael after another, and the accounts must be settled clearly, so he accepted it.

Just put it away and eat quickly, its already midnight. The third grandma urged, serving sweet potato and old rice porridge for everyone.

Their family's life is much better now, but they still can't bear to eat white rice, which is expensive.

"Okay, stop talking and eat quickly." Third Grandpa said, and the family sat down to eat.

After dinner, several members of the family came to Gu Jinli's house again and began to settle the accounts for the day.

Gu Jinan reported to them: "The tofu stall in the town made nine hundred taels and one hundred cents today. The white tofu at home sold nine hundred catties today, and the seasonings and spices sold nine catties, making thirteen taels and five hundred cents, two items. The gross profit is twenty-two taels, six hundred cents. After deducting the cost and the twenty-two taels of silver reserved, the net profit is eighteen taels, six hundred cents." His family accounted for 40%, and could get seventy-two, three hundred and sixty cents. The remaining six families each received one to eight hundred and seventy cents, or nearly two taels of silver, which was twice as much as when they had only sold tofu at a stall.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she clasped her hands together with joy and bowed towards the door: "Thank you God, you will continue to bless us. When we make a lot of money, we will burn incense and pay tribute to you on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

After thanking God, he praised Gu Jinli again: "Xiao Yu's method is better. If we didn't sell the tofu in large quantities to Liang Zhuzi and let them sell it, we wouldn't be able to earn so much money in a day."

Now just selling the white tofu and spices to Liang Zhuzhu and He Dacang makes more money than if they set up a stall in the town.

Gu Jinli said: "This is the power of many people. We have limited manpower. If we just rely on selling tofu, we will not be able to make so much money even if we are exhausted. We can only make money if we distribute the tofu and let others help us sell it." Get more money."

The adults from several families nodded: "We didn't understand it before, but after looking at the daily accounts, we understand it."

When Xiaoyu said he wanted to sell tofu to Liang Zhuzi and others, they were worried that Liang Zhuzi would steal their business. Now it seems that Liang Zhuzhu and He Dacang are working for them, and they are the ones who benefit the most.

Gu Jinli added: "Today is the twenty-fourth, and it will be the end of the month in five days. At the end of the month, we have to calculate the accounts for this month, daily calculation, monthly calculation, and at the end of the year, we have to calculate the annual calculation again." The accounts must be made clear.

Chen said: "This is too troublesome. Just count it once a day."

Mr. Qin shook his head: "When I was in Longshan Prefecture, I worked for people. The shops in the city had to do accounts every day, every month, and every year. We started the tofu business during the Lantern Festival. Since then, It has been more than a month, and we have only calculated the accounts once a day, and have not calculated the monthly accounts. Logically speaking, we should calculate the monthly accounts clearly on February 15th."

"I wanted to say it at that time, but I thought it was mid-February and it was difficult to make an accounting, so I wanted to wait until the end of the month to tell you about it. Now that Xiaoyu has proposed it, we should do it, otherwise everyone I dont even know how much money this tofu business makes in a month.

The third grandpa also agreed: "Mr. Qin and Xiaoyu were right. The monthly accounts must be calculated. From now on, the monthly accounts must be calculated on the last day of every month. You can't be lazy, otherwise the accounts will be messed up."

Gu Jinan patted the account book and said with a smile: "Uncles and aunts, don't worry, I will settle the accounts. You just need to spare an hour at the end of the month to come over and listen to me report the accounts."

When several families heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Chen said, "With Brother An's words, we feel relieved."

Although Mrs. Chen likes money, she doesn't know how to calculate accounts. She gets a headache when she hears those figures. With Gu Jinan, she is totally in favor of calculating monthly accounts. It's not her who has the final say anyway, and they can still know how much money they make in a month, which is very beneficial to them.

Ms. Chen was happy, but Gu Dexing, who was sitting behind her, looked unhappy. He hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not say what he was thinking in person.

After calculating the accounts and dividing the money, the families went home.

Gu Dexing lowered his head and followed Gu Dafu and the others as they walked home.

Gu Jinan saw Gu Dexing's expression and couldn't help but shake his head. The gentleman is right. Brother Dexing is still not magnanimous enough. He is obviously dissatisfied with him settling the accounts alone and wants to settle the accounts with him, but he is unwilling to say it out loud.

Some things dont need to be held back, it would be better to talk them out.

Gu Jinli also saw that Gu Dexing's expression was not good. She didn't care about Gu Dexing and only reminded Gu Jinan: "Brother, you should be careful about him in the future. If he can't figure it out or doesn't change his temper, don't follow him." Play."

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Okay, brother will remember it."
