What Su An Dong and the others said was so attractive. Who wouldn't want their children to study hard? Zhao Yun couldn't say no to Su An Dong's suggestion to leave the money for the children to study.

Li Hongmei also hoped that her children could study well. She had no sons, but if her cousins ​​worked hard, they would be able to make decisions for her daughters in the future. The better the Su family lived, the more support her daughters would have in the future. She understood this principle.

Seeing that everyone in the family agreed with his idea, Su An Dong continued, "I have to make some things clear in advance. This year I will only charge 150 taels, but in the future, my third room will collect % of the profit from the sale of rabbits. I wonder if anyone has any objections. If you have any ideas, please speak up." Su An Dong saw that his eldest and second sisters-in-law were the ones who could be the masters of their room, so he said it directly.

Zhao Yun and Li Hongmei expressed their opinions, and everyone in the family agreed, so the matter was settled. They all thought that Su An Dong did not take 50% because he wanted to leave the remaining 20% ​​for the children's education. Little did they know that Su An Dong felt that 50% was a bit too much after discussing with others. After all, the model of raising rabbits has been basically set, and there is not much to worry about in the future, so it is a bit embarrassing to take 50% of the profit.

After the meeting, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Su Anton took his children to the county. In addition to the goods brought to Ruyifang, he also brought two baskets of charcoal.

When they arrived at Ruyifang, they handed over the goods to Lan Niang smoothly and received the money.

After the payment and goods were settled, Su Anton asked Lan Niang if she needed charcoal.

Ruyifang naturally needed charcoal, and had already bought some a few days ago, but Lan Niang still asked, "You still sell charcoal, did you bring it? Bring it out so I can see it."

"Yes. Please wait a moment."

Lan Niang thought that if Su Antong's charcoal was of acceptable quality, she would help Su Antong sell it, and consider it as a favor to Su Antong.

Su An Dong brought down a basket of charcoal for Lan Niang to see, and said very honestly: "Shopkeeper, you can take a look at the quality. They are all of this quality. They are not top-quality charcoal, but just ordinary charcoal."

Lan Niang took a look and found that it was indeed ordinary charcoal, not the fine silver charcoal. She was still thinking that Su An Dong might have some fine goods!

Lan Niang told the waiter beside her, "Go and use this charcoal to light a charcoal basin."

Soon, the waiter brought the charcoal basin. Lan Niang took a look and found that although it was ordinary charcoal, the quality was acceptable and not low-quality charcoal. This quality was still acceptable for use in the store.

Lan Niang asked, "The quality is acceptable. How much do you plan to pay per pound?"

Su An Dong knew that this was not a good charcoal, so it would be difficult to set a high price: "3 cents per pound."

When Lan Niang heard this, she realized that the price was lower than she thought. She bought charcoal of similar quality a few days ago for a slightly higher price. She thought for a moment and said, "I'll keep 500 kilograms. I'll ask the nearby shops if they want it."

When Su An Dong heard this, of course he was willing, saving him the trouble of asking: "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Lan Niang asked her clerk to go and ask around at several nearby stores where she had good relationships.

Su An Dong had about 25,000 kilograms of charcoal in his hands, which were now stored in the backyard of the Su family. He did not plan to sell all of it this time, but only half at most.

After a while, the owner of another store came to see the quality of the charcoal and asked about the price.

Several shop owners wanted the charcoal, and Su An Dong sold another 3,000 kilograms. After agreeing on a delivery time with the shop owners, Su An Dong left.

After leaving Ruyifang, Su Anton went straight to Dingshun Restaurant which sold rabbit meat.

After exchanging pleasantries with the shopkeeper, Su Anton went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit.

Just in time for the restaurant to stock up on some more charcoal, the shopkeeper kept a thousand pounds of it.

Seeing the shopkeeper happy, Su An Dong gave him a suggestion: "Shopkeeper, you can put a charcoal fire under the dishes and use a clay pot on top. This way, the charcoal fire will keep the dishes hot. It will keep you warm while also heating the dishes."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he thought it was a good idea and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Su, for giving me this idea. This is a good idea. I need another thousand kilograms of charcoal. I will ask the merchants I am friendly with if they want it for you."

"That's great, thank you, brother."

After a while, after the introduction of the owner of Dingshun Restaurant, Su An Dong sold another 4,500 kilograms. Together with the sales at Ruyifang, Su An Dong had sold 10,000 kilograms.

Su Anton didn't plan to continue selling today, so he took his children and went straight home.

In the afternoon, Su An Dong brought his children to deliver goods. Su An Dong was afraid that his little daughter would be cold, so he wrapped her up tightly and even lit a charcoal fire in the carriage.

Su Anton didn't want to bring his daughter to suffer, but his daughter had a space, so she could store the charcoal in the space and take it out when she got to the place. In this way, the cart would not be heavy and the mule could run faster.

Su Anton did not ask his daughter to collect a lot of charcoal at once and then take it out in batches. Instead, he chose to load the car honestly and just put as much as possible on the car. This was mainly because he was afraid that his family would find something wrong. There was no way a car could hold so much charcoal.

Su An Dong brought his children back and forth for three days before delivering all the charcoal. In total, he sold 10,000 catties of charcoal and earned 30 taels of silver.

On the evening after delivering the charcoal, Su Anton said at the dinner table that he would go find the team that was going out to build the kang the next day.

Su Zhihao became interested when he heard this and said, "Dad, I'll go with you too."

"No. You have to stay home. I will give you homework. You must complete it well and I will check it when you come back."

Su Zhihao said unwillingly: "Dad, I want to go. Don't worry, I won't fall behind in my studies. My eldest brother has already gone, so I can keep him company."

Su An Dong insisted, "Zhicheng is as old as you are. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay at home."

Seeing that his father was determined, Su Anton stopped talking and thought about talking to him privately later.

After dinner, Su Zhihao was called into the study by Su Anton.

After the two entered the house, Su An Dong bluntly said to his son: "Are you stupid? The strong laborers in the family have all gone out to work, and only the old and weak are left. You don't stay at home, but you still want to go out. You stay at home honestly, and the safety of the house is in your hands. If it weren't for your high martial arts value, I wouldn't worry about you going out like this."

Su Zhihao suddenly understood what was going on. He blamed himself for not considering things carefully. He was getting younger and his mind was also declining.

Su Zhihao scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I neglected it. Dad, don't worry. Leave the family to me, I will definitely take good care of it."

Su An Dong was relieved when he saw that the boy had reacted. This boy of his was still very reliable when he was serious.

The father and son chatted for a few more sentences and then went back to their rooms to rest.
