Farming in another world to make a fortune
Chapter 17
This day, Jin Chuan was the same as last time, rejecting Yu Zhou's suggestion to go to the town with him, and stayed at home alone to continue embroidering.
He can easily embroider one sachet like the sachet he sold in a day, and the handkerchief takes even less time.
If he can maintain the price of [-] Wen for the sachet and [-] Wen for the handkerchief, excluding the cost of fabric and embroidery thread, he can earn about [-] Wen a day, and [-] Wen a month.
Although Yu Zhou is unwilling to accept the money he sells embroidery, but earn more money and save it for emergencies.
Thinking of how Yu Zhou was obviously worrying about money these days, but trying not to let him see it, Jin Chuan felt distressed, but at the same time couldn't help but feel sweet.
The movement of his hands didn't stop, but the corners of his mouth raised slowly because of these thoughts.
As a result of his double-mindedness, someone pushed the door in from the outside of the yard, and the soft 'squeak' sound scared him so much that he almost got his finger poked by an embroidery needle.
Subconsciously, he thought it was Aunt Chen or Aunt Chen who came, so he raised his head and shouted, "Chen..."
As a result, he only said a word, and after seeing who the person came in, he immediately suppressed the smile on his face, and changed his words: "Auntie, what are you...?"
"It's my Aunt Gui, do you still remember that when you and Yu Zhou went to pick wild vegetables that evening, we met at the door." Aunt Gui narrowed her eyes and smiled.
She may feel that she is expressing kindness, but she doesn't know that falling into the eyes of others is a typical thug.
People who Jin Chuan met once, as long as it was not every three or five years, most of them would remember, not to mention Aunt Gui was not an ordinary person, but she ran into him once on the road, and Chen Feng couldn't wait to tell him to go back with Yu Zhou. When you encounter it again, try to avoid it if you can.
Moreover, he heard from Aunt Chen a few days ago that on the day Yu Zhou came back from the town, he also met Aunt Gui. As soon as he saw Aunt Gui, she went straight to rummaging through the things in Yu Zhou's back basket, which was very rude.
Even though Yu Zhou frightened her with itchy weed on the spot, she still felt unbearably itchy for two consecutive days.
But maybe now that I figured it out, I was cheated, or if I didn't figure it out, I just wanted to take revenge on Yu Zhou.
Jin Chuan frowned, put the needlework in his hand into the basket unobtrusively, got up and said, "Auntie is looking for Yu Zhou, right? He just went out for something."
He didn't dare to say that Yu Zhou went to the town, the town was too far away, it would take at least an hour to go back and forth, so long, if Aunt Gui wanted to do something excessive, he might not be able to stop her.
It can only make her feel that Yu Zhou may come back at any time.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Gui smiled and walked in self-consciously, "I'm here to find you, not Yu Zhou."
Jin Chuan was afraid that she would reach the door of the main room if she left again, so he quickly put the sewing basket in the corner, greeted her out, and blocked her in the middle of the yard without showing any expression, "Auntie looking for me?"
"Yes, I was looking for you," Aunt Gui said, although blocked by Jin Chuan, her eyes kept falling on the sewing basket at the door, she stretched her head and said, "Are you embroidering just now?"
"No, just sew a pair of socks." Jin Chuan said.
Aunt Gui tried back and forth a few times, but was blocked by Jin Chuan and couldn't get in. Knowing that it would be futile to try again, she changed her mind and sighed: "Yu Zhou is a lucky person, the girl in Shanwan You just got divorced, and he picked you up again, you look good and you can embroider, tsk tsk tsk, how come he is so cheap."
Jin Chuan roughly guessed the purpose of this person coming to him, and said calmly: "He is very good."
"Besides being poor and lazy, she's pretty good and will love others," Aunt Gui said, "You know that girl in the mountain bay, Yu Zhou was engaged to her before, so if you get something good, you don't want to eat it. Sending it to her, clamoring to learn to read and write is also for her, saying that one day I want that girl to become a scholar."
Jin Chuan, the girl who retired from the engagement, knew that he just didn't expect that Yu Zhou had done so much for her.
Then the relaxed look when he returned the marriage certificate back then, was it because he fell into the water and forgot something, or was it because he wanted to fulfill that girl?
Jin Chuan felt as if his heart had been poked by a needle, and it hurt, he didn't dare to think about it, his fingers unconsciously curled up by his side, and then slowly loosened.
Aunt Gui curled the corners of her lips proudly, thinking that Niang Qin's method was really useful, and then said: "There was also that time when I fell into the water, it was said that I accidentally fell into the pond, but no one in the village knew that it was because of being caught by the mountain bay. The girl in Li retired from the engagement, and she couldn't think of committing suicide."
Jin Chuan only felt a 'boom', and his mind went blank for a moment.
He clearly knew that Aunt Gui was probably talking nonsense, trying to sow discord between him and Yu Zhou.And even if it's true, that's a thing of the past, so you shouldn't care.
But he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, took a deep breath and said: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense."
"What I'm telling is the truth," Aunt Gui glanced at Jin Chuan and sighed, "If you ask me, you can't find a man like you, so why bother with Yu Zhou, a lazy man?"
It turned out that he was waiting here, Jin Chuan's heart relaxed a little, he pursed his lips and did not speak.
Aunt Gui continued: "Auntie is doing it for your own good. Think about it carefully. When you came to this house, didn't you even have food to eat? A lot of food was provided by the Chen family next door? As for Yu Zhou , Is it possible to know nothing except to take you to dig wild vegetables?"
As he said that, he gave Jin Chuan a sideways look, "The money he went to Zhenshan to buy things that day was also given by you, right?"
Jin Chuan said flatly: "No, it's his own money."
"Auntie playing? Can he have money?" Aunt Gui took another step forward, her eyes full of calculations, "How about Auntie telling you about the marriage? That man is my natal nephew, and he is the number one in the family." The second child, not to mention the fields and land at home, people are also rare and clever."
"Auntie, don't talk nonsense." Jin Chuan took a step back while talking.
"It's just nonsense, it's all for you..."
"Ahem." Aunt Gui hadn't finished speaking when she heard two coughs coming from the courtyard of the Chen family next door through the fence.
Then Aunt Chen stood on the other side of the fence and said, "Yu Gui, what are you talking about, his daughter-in-law? Bad people are destined to be animals in their next life after marriage."
"Why do I have a bad marriage? I'm obviously trying to match him up and introduce a good marriage." Aunt Gui looked a little afraid of Aunt Chen, and after muttering a few words, she looked at Jin Chuan and said, "I have something to do, so I'll go first, you Think carefully about what I just said."
Not long after she left, Xiaojuan helped Aunt Chen and walked in from the door.
Jin Chuan hurriedly moved a stool out of the house and placed it at the door of the main room.
After Sitting down, Aunt Chen patted Jin Chuan on the shoulder slowly and said: "Don't listen to her advice, boy Zhou used to be a bit idle, but you can see for yourself how diligent he is and how he treats you these days. "
"I know, I won't listen to her nonsense." Jin Chuan nodded obediently.
But she couldn't help being a little sad in her heart. Aunt Chen didn't even mention Yu Zhou's treatment of that girl, so... Even if Aunt Gui exaggerated, did those things happen in the past?
Besides, Yu Zhou, when he arrived in the town, he went straight to Changning Bookstore.
This time the buddy took the script to check faster, and came back after a while and gave him 120 Wen.
After Yu Zhou collected the copper coins, he didn't immediately ask the clerk for a blank copy, but said, "Since your book shop can copy the script, do you know if it will accept new scripts or not?"
The man glanced at Yu Zhou, then lowered his voice and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Yu Zhou nodded suspiciously and followed.
After the two of them sat down in a small room inside, the waiter reminded: "In the eyes of scholars nowadays, writing a storybook is a very despised thing. Don't talk about it in front of others, sir, so as not to be punished in the future." During the exam, it will affect your reputation."
Yu Zhou: ...
He was a little dazed, he wrote a script, but he was still despised, but weren't these scripts also sold to these scholars?
The man understood his expression, and spread his hands to express the same speechlessness.
Then he poured another cup of tea for Yu Zhou, "Sir, do you want to write a picture book, or do you want to sell it to our book shop?"
"I want to write." Yu Zhou said.
Clerk: "Our bookstore accepts the book, but after the shopkeeper has read it, he will decide whether to accept it and how much to accept."
"I understand." Yu Zhou nodded, he just read the manuscript first, he expressed his understanding.
The guy asked: "Then Mr. intends to..."
Yu Zhou said: "I'll buy more knife paper. It seems to be raining these few days. I may not be able to come to town immediately after copying the script. If I have time, I can try it at home."
"Okay, sir was introduced by the boss. As long as the script is acceptable, the shopkeeper will definitely not reject you," the clerk said with a smile. See what other people have written."
Yu Zhou nodded in response.
The two went outside the shop again, and the clerk brought two pieces of paper to Yu Zhou, "Sir, you don't need to use very good paper for the time being, I suggest you choose one of raw edge paper and Yuanshu paper."
Yu Zhou touched both sheets of paper. The Yuanshu paper was the kind of paper he usually made into blank volumes when copying out his storybooks, and the quality was slightly better.
The quality of the raw edge paper is slightly worse, but it is enough for writing.
Then he asked, "What's the price of these two things?"
The clerk said: "The raw edge paper is 34 coins a knife, and the yuan book paper is 52 coins a knife."
"I want raw paper." Yu Zhou said.
"Okay." The clerk finished wrapping a knife of paper neatly, and took out the notebook and the blank booklet to be taken away by Yu Zhou and wrapped them up.
After Yu Zhou paid the money and came out of the bookstore, he went to the Cloth Village again.
This time, when the shopkeeper saw him stepping into the threshold, he greeted him with a smile and said, "You counted it, how many handkerchiefs and sachets are there this time?"
Looking at his expression, Yu Zhou knew that the last time the item must have sold well, so he was not in a hurry to take out the items in the back basket, and just smiled and said, "Did the item sell well last time?"
"The sales are indeed good, but there are too few." The shopkeeper smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Yu Zhou said: "It's enough for him to embroider alone."
The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, "Let me see the things this time first."
Yu Zhou said 'hmm', and took out the two purses and three handkerchiefs that Jinchuan had embroidered in the past few days.
After looking at it one by one, the shopkeeper nodded in satisfaction, and when he saw what Yu Zhou wanted to say, he quickly interrupted, "Stop, I know what you want to say, I'll take these things together for a hundred coins, what do you think?" ?”
Yu Zhou couldn't hold back a smile, "Okay."
"Hey, it's a pity that you don't do business. Why don't you come to me and be a buddy? I just want to recruit a buddy." The shopkeeper said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still can't do it." Yu Zhou shook his head
The shopkeeper also said it casually, and he didn't take Yu Zhou's refusal very seriously.
After the transaction between the two, Yu Zhou thought that although there was still rice at home, the oil and salt were almost gone, so he went to weigh half a catty of salt and bought two catties of fat meat.
He hurried back and forth without any delay on the road, and went straight to the house after entering the village.
When passing by the Chen's house next door, Xiaojuan who sneaked out of the yard stopped him: "Brother Yu Zhou, I have something to tell you."
Yu Zhou glanced at the little girl, and then in the yard. He didn't see any adults there, so he stopped at the door, squatted down and looked at the little girl, "What do you want to tell me?"
Xiaojuan said: "After you went to town today, Aunt Gui came to your house, and I heard her say that she wants to marry Brother Jinchuan."
Yu Zhou:! ! !
"Did she say anything else?"
Xiaojuan said: "I didn't hear the one in front, but only heard this, so I hurried to the house and called grandma."
He can easily embroider one sachet like the sachet he sold in a day, and the handkerchief takes even less time.
If he can maintain the price of [-] Wen for the sachet and [-] Wen for the handkerchief, excluding the cost of fabric and embroidery thread, he can earn about [-] Wen a day, and [-] Wen a month.
Although Yu Zhou is unwilling to accept the money he sells embroidery, but earn more money and save it for emergencies.
Thinking of how Yu Zhou was obviously worrying about money these days, but trying not to let him see it, Jin Chuan felt distressed, but at the same time couldn't help but feel sweet.

It can only make her feel that Yu Zhou may come back at any time.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Gui smiled and walked in self-consciously, "I'm here to find you, not Yu Zhou."
Jin Chuan was afraid that she would reach the door of the main room if she left again, so he quickly put the sewing basket in the corner, greeted her out, and blocked her in the middle of the yard without showing any expression, "Auntie looking for me?"
