Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

As long as people have hope, they seem to be more powerful in everything they do, and the days go by extraordinarily fast. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the days have come to the first month. During the period before this year, perhaps It's because Qi's words gave Xing Ge'er a lot of motivation, or they really turned around and started to turn over all of a sudden. In short, these two brothers have really made a lot of money during this period.

Let’s talk about selling couplets first. Originally, I just thought about making such a few. After all, the population of this county is only so large, and there are other people doing the same business. How can I have any money? The reason why they all gathered them together.

I don’t want because when I was selling couplets that day, Brother Xing sent a pair of the best couplets to shopkeeper Qi. As a thank you, this couplet was seen by the owner of a restaurant in the town. He liked Jia Huan’s characters very much. Coincidentally, he was going to make a new menu for the new year, so he spent a tael of silver wrapped in a red envelope as a touch-up pen, asked Qi the shopkeeper to be the middleman, and invited Jia Huan to write the menu for a day.

On one occasion, the boss of Furuiju sent a worker to ask for advice, saying that the supply of scallops in the store is insufficient recently, which is about to affect the business of the store, so he wants to buy scallops at a high price, and ask the fishermen in these fishing villages Go to the sea in winter and fish more.Although the ten cents per catty is definitely ten times higher than before, the price is staggeringly high, but going to sea in this winter is really not something that anyone dares to do. Furuiju asked for a lot It's a fishing village, except for those who really can't survive those days and are ready to fight, who is willing to go to sea?

But who made Jia Huan smart?He also wanted to earn this money, but he was afraid that he would get sick from the cold, so he and Xing Geer tried a few times and finally came up with a solution, that is, put a dustpan on a long bamboo pole, sit on the boat, and use this dustpan to go to bed. Direct Tao Hai, although in this way, if you lift it up once, it is very likely that there will be a lot of mud and sand, and it may even not be possible to bring up a catty of scallops three or two times, but after all, people don't have to suffer, right?

Not to mention, this is really a good method. At least in shallow seas with a depth of three to five meters, this method can still get a lot of scallops.And this method, without the protection of intellectual property rights, was quickly spread to other families in the village, and even half a month later, other fishing villages also knew about it. It has improved a lot, and it can be regarded as Jia Huan's indirect benefit to many people. Many people who are living a difficult life, relying on this wave of scallop picking, can be regarded as a winter that is still full.

And Jia Huan's family, as the first to come up with this method, naturally benefited the most. It only took ten days, and there was an extra tael of silver in the family's money pot.

Following in the village, because everyone’s income has increased recently, the idea of ​​earning money has become more and more intense, and because of Jia Huan’s inadvertent guidance, the idea of ​​​​the idea began to spread a little bit, and suddenly began to toss again. I came up with the idea of ​​making conch palace lanterns, and wanted to take advantage of the upcoming Lantern Festival to earn a fortune. Needless to say, it is very easy for all the craftsmen in this village to gather together to make things, and Jia Huan also helped to point out some color matching. , Styling rest or something, the hundred or so lamps that were made actually sold quite well, and Jia Huan's family was also allocated two hundred coins that belonged to them.

In addition to the bone carvings, scattered wind chimes, and the income from conch shells, by the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Qi family packed up the money pot again, the silver at home had risen to a full 20 taels. Everyone was so happy that they almost didn't jump for joy.

With enough money, it feels like spring is coming soon, and the family can go fishing again, and can go fishing for scallops again, and the price of scallops is also rising, Qi can't help but change his original goal. Raising a new level, once again discussing with the children of Brother Xing when we had dinner together at home, whether to re-plan the original plan to build a house.

"I'm wondering, since we've done it all, should we simply make it bigger at once? The land here is not very valuable, so we will draw out the surrounding areas around the house and buy an extra acre for the house. The base is just a matter of spending a tael of silver, but if we buy it, then we will be much more spacious, and then our house will be able to build more decently, like the three main rooms, we It can be made into three rooms and two ears, so that whether it is the wedding room for Xing Geer on the left, or the room for Yu Niang and me on the right, it can be tidied up into two rooms, one bright and one dark, and Xing Geer will have it in the future Child, it's enough for a while, and Yu Niang doesn't need to be crowded on the same bed with me."

Speaking of this, Yu Niang's eyes lit up for the first time. She is such a big girl, so she naturally wants a house of her own. It's better than it was.

"In one, on the left and right sides, we can also make a tight tiled house, with the second son and the third son on one side, so that the house where you get married will be finished in the future, and you don't need to tidy up in the future. As for the gate, the original As soon as the place expands to the outside, we can directly build four upside-down seats, and use seaweed as the roof without too much expense. The kitchen and firewood room on one side can be used as a warehouse or something on the other side. Ah meat, it won't make the whole room full of fishy smell."

This made the eyes of a few children brighten. Although the problem of eating has been solved this year, there are not many other things on the beach, but the smell of the sea is the strongest, especially the salted fish. Anyone who is not used to it can make people faint. In the past, like this cave where they lived, now there is a fishy smell, but they themselves have been used to living here for a long time, but when they go outside, the stains on their clothes alone are enough to make the surrounding people feel sick. It's not that they don't know that people are avoiding them, but they just can't solve it.Now if it is like what Qi said, even if he is a fisherman's son by the sea in the future, the fishy smell of the sea will always linger, and it will be engraved in his bones, but at least it will not be too strong to make people dare not approach it.

"The most important thing is, I figured it out, if we earn this way, if the house is built along the side of the homestead, then the courtyard wall of our house is actually hardly used, that is, the backyard still needs to be erected." Add some, the front four sides are covered by the walls of the house. There are six more houses, and it only costs about five taels of silver, we can still afford it, what do you think?"

What would they not want to have a decent courtyard house as their home, especially Jia Huan, who had never lived in such a humble place even when he was in the worst times, and had long been looking forward to improving the environment, especially Nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, but Xing Geer has a little embarrassing question.

"Mother, we think what you said is good. Now we have 20 taels of silver at home, and it is indeed feasible to build a house with 15 taels of silver. But in this way, the matter of our family buying a boat is probably enough. Saving money again, let’s not talk about it. After all, building a house is a lifelong event, and it is indeed more important than a boat. If it is done well, this house will not have to worry about it for decades. But there is still a problem. In this way, we The construction period must be longer. Will there be enough manpower by then? In one, I heard from my uncle a few days ago that their family has saved a lot of money during this winter, and there is probably six or seven taels of silver. Thinking of renovating the house at home, and adding two seaweed houses. There are many other people who want to flip houses. In this way, this village must be full of house flips. Can someone else take it?"

This is indeed a matter. Qi Shi was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. Why are these people rushing together?But when I think about it, I can understand that the people in this village are not very rich. Although the houses of every household are stronger than their original ones, they are not much stronger, that is, they have not been blown by the wind. It's down, it's not leaking, it's really hard to say, the seaweed on the roof of many people's houses has already started to grow grass.This is the result of cleaning up every year.Under such circumstances, it is normal for each family to have some money and want to tidy up the house better. As for building more houses, it is also true, the population has increased, and the living is not comfortable. In the past, no money was naturally available. I think, but if you have money, if you don’t build a house and let it go loose, then you have a sick mind.

But understanding is understanding, Qi's heart is still a little unhappy, after all, their family's situation is the most serious, and the family is gone. At this time, it has affected her to rebuild a family, so she is happy.Fortunately, Jia Huan spoke at this time.

"It's nothing. Our village doesn't have enough manpower, but Qiushan Village still has some manpower. At most, let's talk to uncle and invite a few people to help. Take care of two meals a day. In addition, each person will add a catty of grain per day." Fish, there must be people coming, and although the wages we pay are not high, not to mention the real food, and it is close to home, there must be people willing to do it.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qi hesitated a little, feeling that the cost had increased again, and she was a little reluctant, but she did not want to agree with Brother Xing.

"Well, this is also possible. I heard from the village elder that their family will also renovate the house. In order not to compete with the villagers, they will also hire people from other villages. This winter, the village chief's family can earn a lot. Quite a lot. He doesn’t like to argue with others, so the news should be good.”

I heard that even the village head had this idea. Even though Qi felt that it cost a lot more than building a house before, he couldn’t say anything bad. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be the village head’s fault? She doesn't have the guts.

As for Jia Huan's ability to give this opinion, he naturally has something to rely on. Looking at Qi's distressed appearance, he continued:

"Mother, you don't need to be too distressed. When I went back to sell lanterns, I met a shopkeeper of a grain store. I heard that there was a leak in the warehouse behind their house, and a lot of grain was wet. Although it was dried again , but this water-drenched grain is not durable, so he thought of reducing the price and selling it earlier to save mildew. Wouldn’t this food be enough? This can save a lot of money, and those who come to work, if they make it clear to them, let them eat this food first when they go home, and they will definitely agree.”

When Jia Huan said this, the Qi family was overjoyed again. Just now, they were thinking about how much more capital they would spend, and they were distressed thinking whether to drag the courtyard wall in the backyard first, so as to save some money. I felt much better, as if I had taken advantage of something.

"Is there such a good thing? Second son, since you have such a way, in this way, you can talk to the village chief about their family's food, no, other families in the village, including your uncle's family. Yes, everyone who needs food has bought this family, so that each family does not know how much money they will save. Everyone must remember our family’s favor. It’s more convenient, let’s worry about our family’s share first.”

Look, in fact, the Qi family is still very good at doing things, and his calculations are quite clear, right?As for Jia Huan?What kind of water-soaked food was drawn by him in a lottery. From the first month's lottery and the Lantern Festival reward lottery, he didn't know that it was the golden finger that lit up, and he actually won two hundred catties of food twice in a row.That's good, it's a full four hundred catties, and it's still polished white rice. There are good goods worth 25 yuan a catty outside. In the whole county, only the rich can buy good rice. How he can get it out is a problem, so I thought about it Such a discount.

Use the four hundred catties of white rice to go to the grain store to exchange for 1000 catties of ordinary coarse rice, and then use the reason of the price reduction of the rice after the rain to sell it to other people. With this excuse, if he sells seven fen to other people, he can get others’ favors, and he can earn a full 1000 ren, even after deducting his own needs, it is estimated that he will have at least five taels of income. He hid the original five taels from the lottery, so he would have a full ten taels of silver.

Although it is only ten taels, it is not as much money as the family, but after all, it is Jia Huan's private possession, no one in the family knows, and it is not a normal method. The family's hard work is a windfall, Lu Bai It was troublesome, so Jia Huan simply gave up the idea of ​​taking it out. He even thought that he hid the money for the family just in case. Although everything seems to be going well now, but people always have a just in case. , just like the fact that his father passed away in this family, it was just in case.

To put it bluntly, Jia Huan regards this money as something that can save lives at critical times. He has already thought about it. If the family situation continues like it is now, the money can always be picked up, so that he will not be unable to live. Then he won't use this money easily, he doesn't have to worry about food, housing and clothing, and he can always think of ways to get money.

Only when there is a major event, such as illness, and the family really can’t get along, will it be used for emergency, and at other times, it will be kept slowly and continuously. Of course, he may not have such a thought in his heart. I want to see how much money I can save when I grow up and start going out, and how much silver or good things this system can give. Reserve it.
