Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

Money seems to never be enough. Qi’s idea of ​​building a house with 15 taels of silver made Xinggeer happy, but at the same time he was a little worried about the family’s financial resources. He couldn’t help but drag Jia Huan out to fish scallops the next day. When it was time, he started chattering.

"Second son, I am very happy to have such a good house built in this house. After all, this house is built, and it is the village head's house. It is estimated that it was renovated and added this time. It is just the same as ours, at most it is more There are only two rooms, but I still feel a little uneasy in my heart. After all, we are fishermen. Without a boat, we can’t fish. It’s like having no hands and feet. What will we do in the future? Look, our current boat, It’s something like a toy that my uncle made, so I can just hang around here, catch some scallops, pick up some kelp and so on. It’s absolutely impossible to go fishing, so maybe we really don’t want to fish in the future? Fish? Just use this to fish for scallops and kelp? How did this work? Our family is not the only one picking up the scallops nearby. After a long time, I’m afraid we won’t be able to pick up many. What will we rely on for food? Don’t you want to go to sea? What will happen to the ship then?”

Speaking of such troubles, Brother Xing couldn't help but patted the small wooden boat that could only accommodate three people, frowning and worrying,

"I've also thought about it, let's focus on the house first, and then the two of us brothers will use our minds to catch scallops, kelp in spring, seaweed, and you can find some vegetables and other jobs. It won't take two months It is estimated that I can still earn five or six taels of silver, and I can make up ten taels with those at home. It is still possible to buy an old sea-going ship at that time, but then I thought it was wrong again, we can’t just count it as earning money Yes, it’s not costly. After building a house, you have to buy some household items. Also, the food and meat you got in last autumn are almost enough to eat. You will have to buy food at that time. These are all expenses. At that time, we still don’t know how much we will spend, so it will not be enough.”

Hearing Brother Xing worrying so much, the 15-year-old's brows were almost wrinkled, and Jia Huan couldn't help feeling sad, even though the situation of this family is better than before, I don't know how many times , but to be honest, it is still just a poor family without much foundation, not even the most basic, which can be relied on for a living. How can this not make this elder brother who has passively become the head of the family for more than a year worry? Woolen cloth.At the same time, Jia Huan has become more and more responsible for the family, and only wants to share more for the elder brother.

So he thought for a while and then said:

"It's not just that, aren't we planning to go to school? It's also a huge expense. Fortunately, there is always a way. Brother, there is something I didn't tell my mother, and I will tell you right now. , the rice in the grain shop is not seven cents a catty, but five cents. The shopkeeper said that he has a thousand catties to deal with. In order to lose my reputation, I had to lower the price of other things, so I asked a fisherman like me, thinking about selling in a remote place like ours, the reason why I said Qiwen was because I thought that the price was indeed cheap enough. Well, secondly, it’s because it costs a lot of money to ship it, so I left some money for the shipment, but I just realized it after I finished talking yesterday, this way, I can save a couple of taels of silver, it seems that I don’t need With so much money as foot money, and if we spend some effort on our own, this two taels is our brother's profit. At least, our own food will be left over, so there is no need to spend extra money, you Look, isn't this a little more money?"

Compared with the current family situation, Jia Huan knows without thinking too much. He is only ten years old, and it seems a bit too early to start hiding his private house from now on. If it is not that he still retains the consciousness of his previous life , Subconsciously want to save a little way out for himself, and regard saving money as a way of self-protection, so that he doesn’t always want to keep a hand from time to time, and secondly, it’s the money or something, it’s too weird, he didn’t Fazi explained that he would not have been hiding in the East and West so early.

It's just that the worry on Brother Xing's face touched him now, and at least he had such a suitable interface, so after thinking about it for a while, he took this opportunity to say it. If it's dead money, it's better to split it up to make the family's life easier, at least in the near future, so that the elder brother can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Two taels? Okay, okay, Er son, you boy, you have a clever mind. Well, we really can't bear to earn money from the people in the village, but these seven coins are indeed cheap enough, and the matter of foot money is also worth mentioning." In the past, to put it bluntly, without you, our village full of people might not be able to encounter such good things. Even if we can't bear it...we have to carry this reputation of injustice, our family is now The situation, if one is not careful, I am afraid that it will return to the previous situation, so this rare opportunity, we have to earn, as long as we remember this, when we find a long-term livelihood, find a way to spend this money Take it out, or treat everyone to a good meal, or do some good deeds for the village, which can be regarded as making up for one or two."

Brother Xing's method is really good. It can earn money and avoid the guilt in his heart. After all, the people in this village contributed a little bit when they were in trouble at Jia's house. Now they earn their money. It's common sense that they can't hide their faces, but Jia Huan got the news, and it seems that they must be their brothers who transported the food. If there is no benefit at all, just being good people, even if they feel at ease, their family circumstances do not allow it. It's also a bit awkward, so I can only earn money from such an acquaintance with a thick face.

Hearing the result given by Brother Xing, Jia Huan naturally nodded immediately, and it happened that it was time to collect the dustpan again, so Jia Huan simply changed the topic, treating it as a secret between brothers, Put all your thoughts back on the things you just caught in the sea.

"Hey, what is this?"

Jia Huan was cleaning up the pile of mud under his hands, and wanted to pick more seafood from the mud, but when he didn't want to, he heard Xing Ge'er's surprised voice, and hurriedly looked up, and Xing Ge'er's hands were covered with black mud He actually picked up something that looked like a broken brick from the messy pile of mud, and the reflection of porcelain could still be seen in the gaps in the mud.This made Jia Huan seem to have something flashing in his mind, which gave him countless surprises.

"Brother, wash it with water and have a look."

"Hey."

Brother Xing also had the same intention, and when he heard Jia Huan say the same, he immediately flicked his hand out of the boat, picked up a piece of water, and just hit the thing on his left hand that he didn't know how to look at, and after two or three rinses, The thing slowly revealed its true face, and at this time, Jia Huan was so happy that he almost jumped up, and rushed to the side of Xinggeer, shaking the whole boat, frightening Xinggeer almost He didn't throw out what was in his hand.

"Second son, what are you doing, be careful, there are scallops worth fifty yuan worth of our harvest this morning, on this boat, if the boat capsizes, wouldn't it be for nothing?"

He spoke vigorously, but unfortunately, Jia Huan didn't care at all. He was still in a state of ecstasy, and his eyes were fixed on the thing that was still in Xingge'er's left hand. When he heard him say this, he subconsciously shouted and said:

"Big Brother, Big Brother, what fifty Wen, even five hundred Wen can't be bothered at the moment, do you know what this is? This is Haici, Haici! This is... It looks like this, it's a pen holder , and the style, color, no matter how you look at it, it is something from the previous dynasty, which is great, great, I never thought that one day I would personally watch him come out of the sea."

"Hai porcelain? What sea porcelain? This thing is very valuable?"

Brother Xing didn't understand the messy technical terms Jia Huan said, and he didn't know what Haici was, but he understood one thing, that is, the value of this thing was at least more than five hundred Wen, which already made the He was very pleasantly surprised, his eyes couldn't help but stare round, and he also started to look at the unremarkable thing in his hand, his face also turned red, and he was holding on to the thing tightly, but for a while Don't know what to do with this thing.

In the past, he must have felt that this thing could not be sold for money, could not be eaten, and could not be used, and he would definitely throw it back into the sea. If it were not for Jia Huan, if he met him today, he would at most think that this thing might be useful when learning to write at home. Be a worthless thing and take it home, but now?The word "valuable money" almost made Xing Geer a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, the figure of [-] Wen is not too big, and he can bear it, but it will not work in the future, because Jia Huan added more money. said a sentence:

"What are five hundred coins? If this thing meets someone who knows how to do it, maybe it will be priced at 50 taels of silver. Even if it is sold to a pawnshop, it can be exchanged for about ten taels. If it is not for the fact that the year is not long, at most it will be in the middle of the previous dynasty. No more than 200 years, I'm afraid it can be more."

Brother Xing's hands are shaking?

"What? 50 taels?"

Brother Xing was not calm now, and suddenly wanted to stand up, but he didn't want to be unsteady, and the whole boat began to sway again. This time, it wasn't Brother Xing who was scared, but Jia Huan, who suddenly pushed Brother Xing He stopped and sat down directly. It took a long time for the boat to be considered stable. Jia Huan had a look of fear on his face. He didn't dare to let go of Xingge'er's hand, and exaggeratedly patted his chest and exhaled. .

"Finally, the boat didn't capsize, brother, be careful, what you are holding in your hand is a big price, maybe it is the hope of our family turning over, if we take it to the county town and find a good buyer, then your boat will be destroyed." With it, we can also have mules at home, and maybe we can buy a few acres of slope land in Qiushan Village."

Boats, mule carts, land, all of these were all dreams of Brother Xing. Hearing what Jia Huan said, he immediately tightened his hand holding the things, and then closed his eyes, sternly He took a few deep breaths, exhaled again, and then opened his eyes. At this time, Brother Xing had regained some clarity. He turned his head, looked at Jia Huan with bright and scary eyes and asked:

"Xiao Er, tell me, what exactly is this sea porcelain?"

Brother Xing seldom calls Jia Huan Xiaoer. This name is in their family. It is almost like Jia Huan’s scientific name. Like Xiaosan, it is the most formal name for Jia Huan. Xing Geer calls it like this now, That definitely showed his prudence, and naturally Jia Huan would not refuse to answer, there was nothing he couldn't say about this matter.

"Actually, it was fished from the sea. The porcelain in the shipwreck used to be called sea porcelain. You know, there are some imperial merchants who specialize in the business of western things. Some of them are bought in, and naturally they are also sold. Yes, let’s ship it out. What Westerners want is porcelain. These are probably the things in the ships that went out. Because of the wind and waves, or other reasons, this thing sank to the bottom of the sea. Maybe it was the waves or something. Things rushed back to the sea again, no matter what kind it is, anyway, this kind of old things are all antiques, they are all valuable goods, the same is true for sea porcelain, they are also antiques, and there are people who like them, so I Said it could be sold for money."

Brother Xing generally understands it. I don’t know anything else. He still understands the word antique. He has also heard people say that this rich family likes to collect those old things. It is said that the older they are, the more It's valuable, he doesn't understand why, in his opinion, new pots, new houses, new furniture, that's practical, but if you don't understand it, it's worth it if someone buys it, although he still doesn't understand why his brother You can tell at a glance how old this thing is, but at the moment he really can't care about this problem. All he thinks about is, if this thing is sold, how much change will happen to his family, and the family originally made him worry. How simple would things be.

"Okay, okay, it's worth the money, Xiao Er, hurry up, go back, let's go back right away, go to the county seat in the afternoon, and sell this thing, to be honest, to me, it doesn't matter what kind of sea porcelain or dry porcelain , Only when you sell it and get the money, is it right.”

Xing Geer's words are really not ordinary. Jia Huan naturally knows that for today's family, all antiques are indeed fake, and the money is the most important thing. He immediately sat back in his seat, Start rowing back.

Of course, I couldn't help feeling my good luck once again in my heart. When I talked about money, God seemed to have heard about their difficulties, and started sending money in a different way. It's true, even if you can't sell 200 taels of goods around 50 years old, as long as they are sold directly to those big households with insight, there will always be 30 taels. Overturned, this temptation is not ordinary.
