Although more potato chips and kelp buckles were added to the business, these two things cost less and profit less, and when they sell best in a day, they can only add about [-] yuan of profit.

This day when Shen Lin came back from closing the stall, the three of them sat together to check the ledger.In the past few days since they opened the stall, except for the first seven or eight days, the sausage was prepared according to [-] catties, and the sales volume was [-] catties every day after that.The duck business was only added in the last half month, so I didn't make a lot of money.

But even so, Shen Mo was still very happy. If the silver in his hand was not worth ten taels, he would have suspected that he had counted it wrong.

"Brother Jing, it's been less than two months, and our family has made 30 taels of net profit!" Shen Mo touched the ten taels of silver ingot, and fiddled with it over and over again.Although I got 50 taels for selling lipstick last time, I haven't warmed it up in my hands, and the time to sleep all night is gone.This time, it's just making money, and the meaning is completely different.

Shen Lin also smirked happily: "Big brother, do we want to buy land? We can buy good paddy fields in the village for 25 taels per mu, or dry fields with 15 taels per mu. I'm not afraid of hard work. The family can discuss land reclamation with Lizheng. Although they charge ten taels of silver for one mu of land reclamation, the land is not fertile in the first few years and needs to be raised, so there will definitely not be much harvest. Fortunately, the tax is very small, and at most the first few years are wasted. But it will be fine if the land is fattened up in the future.”

Farmers' love for the land comes from their nature. Shen Mo was born in a peasant family, and his desire for the land is also very strong.

He stared at Zhou Jing helplessly, his eyes filled with naked, naked, straightforward desire.This look is a little pitiful, like the simple and straightforward longing shown by the puppy when begging for a bone from its owner, it is not annoying and very cute.

Zhou Jing couldn't hold back, raised his hand and rubbed the little husband's face before smiling: "If you like the land, our family will definitely buy it. But even if you buy it at this time this year, our family can't grow it anymore, so My idea is that it’s better to hold down the money first, and we can have a working capital in the business, and we earn money for a year, and we will be richer to buy land in the next year.”

Shen Mo nodded and said: "As long as you can buy land, it will be the same in the next year."

Shen Mo has always been in charge of the Zhou family's money, Zhou Jing took out twelve taels, and Shen Mo put the rest in the box and put them back into the dark compartment of the cabinet.

"Little brother, these ten taels of silver are the dividends that I have discussed with your elder brother. Take it."

Shen Lin was stunned for a while, and then he was angry and sad and said: "Brother, you are going to have a divorce with me! Otherwise, why did you first propose to give me wages, and now you want to give me bonuses? Are you an outsider? But my little brother dare not forget that he was brought up by his elder brother, and now he lives and eats at his house."

Shen Mo was also very uncomfortable by Shen Lin's sad tone, and quickly explained: "Little brother, what are you talking about? If elder brother really treats you as an outsider, why would he give you so much money? When elder brother proposed to give you wages As I said before, the friendship between you and my brother will not change, but you can’t be less. Not to mention anything else, many brothers in the village no matter what happened when they were young, when they grow up to do business together, Ding is Dingmao and Mao is Mao. It should be."

Shen Lin said: "But our family is different. All ideas and ideas are my brother-in-law's ideas. Really, I'm just a helper at most. It's reasonable to get a salary of [-] Wen, but I don't dare to ask for bonuses. "

Shen Mo couldn't persuade Shen Lin, so he could only look at Zhou Jing for help.Zhou Jing was very satisfied with Shen Lin's reaction, this is the kind of affection that should exist between brothers, not just for profit.

"There are also reasons for deciding to give you a dividend. First, your brother is sick these days, and I didn't care about the stall. You supported it all by yourself. Otherwise, let alone we can still sit here and count the money, I'm afraid You will have to pawn your new clothes.”

Shen Lin didn't know what to say, but was interrupted by Zhou Jing.

"Secondly, the two of you brothers are different from other families. It is not too much for your eldest brother to treat you as a son-in-law since childhood. Even if the affection for a son-in-law is naturally different from other brothers. And, younger brother, the most realistic thing is that you are A twin, no matter what, always wants to marry. What your elder brother and I can do is to give you the freedom to choose and not force you to marry someone you don't like."

"But Shuang'er is always a disadvantaged group, and it is difficult to conceive a boy, so many good men are reluctant to say Shuang'er. The rest of the men are either too poor in character, or their family conditions are too poor to be called girls. The former is your brother. It is because I admit that raising you for a lifetime will not allow you to marry, although the latter is poor, but if a man is motivated and willing to work hard, your brother and I are also willing."

"With our family's business, as long as you are willing to do it, life will never be bad in the future. But I'm afraid that this man is forced to choose you when he is poor. Then after the life gets better, will he have other thoughts? What should he do if he wants to take a concubine or even marry a half-wife? As long as you pay it back for a day, your elder brother and I will have nothing to do with him for a day. But if he doesn’t, will he give you the divorce letter? What should I do, live alone for the rest of my life?"

"That day, your elder brother told me about my worries. My idea was that our business was supported by the three of us at the beginning. Although I came up with the idea at the beginning, the later management was not as good as the two of you. It can’t be done either. Fortunately, the business is regarded as a joint venture between the three of us. The three of us are the bosses, and the three of us share equally. We count [-]% of the big head and you [-]%. With this [-]% profit, you rely on yourself The hard earned money is not given to you by us for nothing, and you don’t feel bad about holding it. And with the [-]% profit, you won’t be afraid that the guy you find in the future will change his mind or treat you badly because you can’t give birth to a kid. Because we can Recruit!"

"Recruitment?" Shen Lin was stunned, he never thought that there was still this step to go, it was related to his future life.He understood what his elder brother and brother-in-law meant, and knew that in this way, even if he had a big tree by his side, he would not be embarrassed even if he couldn't have a son in front of the man in the future.For a while, Shen Lin thought a lot.

In the end, I still asked for it, Shen Lin said: "Brother, brother-in-law's kindness will never be forgotten by my younger brother. I feel ashamed of being divided into younger brothers. I kowtow to my brother-in-law. In the future, my younger brother will definitely repay my brother-in-law."

Shen Mo hurriedly got off the bed and helped him up.

"In the past, the two of us depended on each other for life, hello, the eldest brother also settled half of his worries."

Shen Lin took the money, but never forgot to take out two taels and return it to Zhou Jing.

"Brother, these two taels are my buying money. At the beginning, I wanted to get enough wages to pay back to you. Now that you have given me a dividend, I can pay back the money."

Zhou Jing didn't shirk, and accepted it directly.

In the night, thunder suddenly struck, splitting the gloomy and dark night sky as bright as day.Shen Mo was awakened from his sleep, and looked out of the window uneasily. Through the window paper, he could faintly see lightning and thunder outside the window. The rumbling thunder was frighteningly loud, as if it could split into the house from outside at any time.

Shen Mo recalled the rumors in the village in the past, saying that there is a kind of thunder called Tianlei, the sound is very loud and fierce, it does not appear because of the downpour, but Lei Gong and Lei Mu use it to chop bad people who have done bad things.

The more she thought about Shen Mo, the more afraid she became.That Zhou Jing from before was a scar on Shen Mo's heart, it was too deep and could never be removed.

Shen Mo turned his head to look at Zhou Jing who was lying beside him, the occasional flashes of lightning occasionally illuminated Zhou Jing's face, he was sleeping deeply, breathing steadily, he didn't seem to feel the terrible thunder.The more this happened, the more afraid Shen Mo became.

He stretched out one arm and quietly pried off Zhou Jing's tightly wrapped quilt, and slipped into his warm quilt, but Shen Mo still felt scared when he heard the lightning and thunder outside, so he stretched his little hand in again, and continued to go in Some... Finally, I found Zhou Jing's big hand that could easily wrap around him, and I felt a little more at ease when I stuffed my small hand in to hold Zhou Jing's big palm.

He thought he was doing everything in secret, but when he didn't want to raise his head, he was caught.

"I woke you up." Shen Mo said guiltily.

Zhou Jing was not annoyed when he was woken up by the little husband after sleeping soundly, instead he asked softly with deliberate teasing: "What are you going to do to me?" The kind of deep and depressing magnetism is particularly sexy.

Even though he could hear it every day, Shen Mo still felt intoxicated, his mind was slightly dazed, and his world was spinning.It was Zhou Jing who dragged him from his bed into his own.

Zhou Jing half-pressed and half-hugged Shen Mo, and whispered into his ear: "I told you a long time ago, I told you to make a big quilt, you don't want it, and now you are sneaking into my bed to seduce me again!"

Shen Mo's face was red, even the tip of his ears were red, and he hastily argued, "I didn't!"

"Stop quibbling, I've caught you. What should I do? With such a great charm, my little husband wakes up in the middle of the night and can't stand the temptation, so he insists on forcing me. Do you think I'm cooperating? Or cooperate?"

"I...I didn't..." The second half of Shen Mo's words were blocked in his throat and he couldn't speak anymore.

After all, this night is destined to never hear thunder again.

After tossing Shen Mo for a while, he finally fell asleep. When Zhou Jing woke up in the morning, Shen Mo was still sleeping.Zhou Jing put on his clothes softly and kissed the little husband on the forehead before walking out of the bedroom.

As soon as Zhou Jing stepped into the kitchen, he saw Shen Lin waiting there.

Shen Lin thought a lot at night and couldn't sleep well, and woke up early in the morning, feeling haggard.

"Brother, it's raining heavily outside. I'm afraid it won't stop today, and the sausage isn't cooked."

Zhou Jing pushed open the window and looked at the pouring rain outside, pressing down the sky as if it was an hour later than usual.

"Well, the rain won't stop today, and we can't get out of the stall if it's so big. Put the sausages in the cellar first, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

"Ah."

When Shen Mo woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that Zhou Jing was sitting at the desk on the floor reading a book. He sat up and asked, "Little brother is gone?"

Zhou Jing stopped writing, shook his head and said, "No, it's raining heavily outside, I'm afraid it won't stop today."

As soon as Shen Mo opened the window a crack, the rain poured in, pouring water on his head and face.Zhou Jing came up from behind, closed the window, and wiped his face with a handkerchief at the same time.

Shen Mo took it and wiped it twice by himself, then worried: "Brother Jing, it's raining so hard, I don't know if it can stop tomorrow?"

Zhou Jing asked: "Why do you ask that? Does the heavy rain here often last for several days?"

Shen Mo nodded and said: "Yes, this is also the reason why we are still poor here despite being surrounded by mountains and rivers. The rain in the past few years has been normal, and the village has only slowed down. It is usually at this time in the first few years , If there is such a heavy rain, it usually lasts for half a month, and when the rain stops, the crops will be flooded, and most of the harvest at the end of the year will be lost.”

Zhou Jing could only comfort him: "Don't worry, maybe the rain will stop in two days."

However, the weather was not good, and the rain continued for three days without any intention of stopping.Even sausages stored in the cellar do not last long in the hot summer months, which is the limit.In fact, the first batch of sausages had already tasted, and if the rain continued, the whole batch of sausages would probably be crushed in their hands.

"I don't know how long the rain will last?" Shen Mo bit his chopsticks and said worriedly: "Our sausages and duck products already cost five taels of silver, which is not a small sum!"

At present, their total assets are only about 40 taels of silver, and the loss of five taels is not much, but it is not a lot.

Shen Mo was so anxious that his mouth got blisters, and he couldn't eat for the past two days.

Suddenly, Shen Mo said: "Brother Jing, we can't open the stall anyway on such a day, and the sausage will turn rancid even if we hold it in our hands, how about selling it to the villagers at a cheaper price?"

Throwing it away is throwing it away, and if you can earn a penny back, it is a penny.

"This method works."

At that moment, Zhou Jing cooked sausages, and the three of them wore coir raincoats and sold them door to door.

They acted separately from the village head, each responsible for a different family, trying to ask every family.Some people are also worried about the field. When they think that if the field is flooded, they may not even be able to pay for the new year's goods, so they are reluctant to buy delicate food like sausage, even if they sell it cheaply.
