The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family - #427 - Chapter 427: next generation relative

  Chapter 427 Next generation relative

   Medicine shop, rice shop, book shop, cloth shop…

Yan Yu and Da Ya went in and out of the shop on Huju Street as needed, bought all the medicinal materials listed on Li Xuemei’s list, bought some soybeans and mung beans, and planned to go back to germinate vegetables, and helped to save some waste paper in the bookstore .

  Yan Yuqiang dragged Da Ya into the cloth shop. He bought needles, assembled all the embroidery threads of all colors in the shop, and bought a large piece of Songjiang cloth.

  Children grow up fast. When Zai Zai is born and she can turn over, sit and crawl, the little clothes have to be prepared slowly now.

  Yan Yu also wants to try the method of dyeing cloth recorded on the bamboo slips, white cotton cloth is very suitable.

  Yan Lao Er and Yan Xiangheng followed to carry things.

   When they returned to the official office, the two of them already had several bags on them.

  Yan Yu went to the stable to pull the donkey out, squatted on the sledge, and saw her wagging her tail happily.

  The yamen servant next to him said: “I said Xiao Er, your dog is well-raised, he knows how to look at things, and when people get close, he bares his teeth, and he is very protective.”

   “It’s human nature to hold on, it’s a scare, and you won’t bite easily.” She raised a paw that was holding on, shook it at the person, and said with a smile: “Uncle Wu, don’t be afraid.”

   “Haha, you kid, I’m not afraid to look down on you Uncle Wu!”

  Yan Er Er laughed and said, “Old Wu, you are not afraid of what you are doing so far away?”

  The yamen servant surnamed Wu glared at him: “I still have something to do, so let’s go first, see you later.”

  Yan Laoer said: “You go to the east side door and wait, I will go find that Mr. Cheng.”

   “Father, don’t forget to tell Shigong about the Yulin Atlas and Master Lu’s purchase of land.” Yan Yu reminded.

  Uncle is not here, and Uncle Liang is too busy with the settlement of money and food, so I have to ask my master about it.

  Who told us to have such convenient conditions?

   “I can’t forget it.”

  …

  Yan Laoer went back to Houya first and took a sheepskin coat. There is one for Mr. Tian. I forgot to bring it when I went there just now. Now it is just right. Take it to Mr. Tian.

  Master Tian was really happy, his eyebrows raised.

  He wore it on his body, touched the soft and warm wool on it, and it warmed his heart.

  Yan Yuzheng was chatting with the eldest brother Menzi at the east door.

  Her father and Cheng Lezhou walked over together.

  Mr. Cheng wore an extra padded robe. It should be because the master knew that he was going to ride a sledge on the way back, so he was afraid that he would be cold, and her father would give her money as soon as he saw her.

“When your master saw your sheepskin coat, he was very happy. He asked if the white sheep was more expensive. He said that Xiao Er has a heart. He has nothing to give you as a master. He just paid a monthly salary and insisted on letting me buy it.” I’ll give you some pocket money.” Yan Laoer looked weird, and secretly pulled her aside, and said sourly: “It’s really a relative from the next generation.”

   “Huh?!” Yan Yu didn’t expect that Shigong and uncle had similar problems, and also gave pocket money?

  This… this is great!

“Father, I’ve only met Master a few times. It’s not because of you, Daddy. I’m in your favor! Hey, Dad, how much pocket money will Master give me?” Yan Yu rubbed her hands, her eyes gleaming, okay Looking forward to it!

   “Hey, your teacher gave you the five cents, save money, the old man only spends three, two, seven and five cents a month.” Yan Laoer couldn’t help repeating again.

   “Father!” Yan Yu really couldn’t stand him. “I can almost memorize it. It’s not easy for my master. He works a lot and earns less. The grand master of the seventh rank, three taels a month, forty-five taels a year… Life is hard, otherwise the money would be worthless.” Don’t ask for it, I’m sorry.”

   “That won’t work. The old man is stubborn. You can take it if you give it to you. I will go back on the tenth day of the next month. Our family will go to Fucheng to see the teacher’s wife.” Second Yan said.

   “This is what Dad gave you.” Yan Er Er must not be left behind, even if this person is his teacher.

  Yan Yu smiled again and took the five coins.

   Take a trip to Huju and get a tael of pocket money, not bad!

  It’s a pity, uncle is not here…

  …

   “Have you collected so much firewood? Brother Er Tie, let’s go back earlier today, we won’t be able to pull any more.” Yan Yu looked at the bundled firewood at the gate of the city, and did a simple calculation, thinking that today’s quantity is almost the same.

   “Wait a little longer, some people said hello and said they would come back later, so it’s not good to leave early.” Er Tie said.

   “Is it because the price of firewood has increased?” Yan Yu asked.

  Er Tie nodded: “Yes, I said that the price will be the same from now on, it will not go down, it will only go up, but they can’t wait three days later, they insist on bringing all the firewood at home today.”

  Yan Yu understands, it’s safe to be in the bag, it’s understandable.

   “Okay, since it’s agreed, let’s wait a little longer, but Brother Er Tie, I still have something to do, I have to go back first, I won’t wait for you, let’s go first.”

   Er Tie: “Well, you go back first.”

   “Brother Er Tie, don’t charge too much, I’m afraid the sledge won’t be able to bear it.” Yan Yu warned.

   “We know.”

  …

   It was Young Master Cheng lying on the donkey again, while Yan Yu and Da Ya were sitting.

   It was probably because they had an extra piece of clothing on their bodies, and it was not so cold, or it might be because they got to know each other a little better, and Cheng Lezhou had a lot of conversations.

   “Brother Yan, you collect firewood in Huju, are you selling it to Yongning?”

   “That’s right!” Yan Yu admitted generously, and there was nothing to hide.

  Cheng Lezhou: “I… the firewood sellers I saw outside Yongning City seem to be the same group of people collecting firewood outside Huju City…”

   “They’re all from our village, Brother Cheng, have you seen them?” Yan Yu asked.

   “The ones at the gate of the city are cheaper, and I buy all my firewood there.” Cheng Lezhou said again: “I saw that you have increased your collection of firewood by a penny today. Does that mean that the price of firewood in Yongning will increase?”

   “It’s going to increase, and it’s also a penny.” Yan Yu thought for a while and asked, “Brother Cheng thinks it’s inappropriate for us to resell from it?”

   “No, no, no!” Cheng Lezhou repeatedly denied.

   “Yongning and Huju are separated by a long distance, and the time to go back and forth is not short. It costs 80 yuan to rent a car for a round trip, and a lot of people are needed… Earning some copper coins is also necessary.”

“I…” Cheng Lezhou plucked up his courage and said, “I just want to ask, can I buy firewood from outside the city and sell it in the city…” Afraid of being misunderstood, he quickly explained: “I won’t compete with you for business. To the academy where I study, I…”

   “Yes!” Yan Yu readily agreed without waiting for him to finish speaking.

He also took advantage of the trend to promote his own charcoal: “My family not only sells firewood, but also charcoal. Brother Cheng, you can come to buy it. You also know that we have worked hard to travel to and from Huju Yongning. It is really not much to make a trip, so I can only sell it according to the city. I’ll give you the price outside the door, Brother Cheng, don’t take offense.”

“No wonder!” Cheng Lezhou said again: “My family also has a sledge, which is widened on both sides and used to pull firewood. The price of charcoal is high, so the neighbors seldom use it, but the master of the academy prepares it every winter. I will find a chance to ask. It’s cold this winter, so the charcoal you prepared earlier may not be enough, Master.”

  Although Yan Yu couldn’t see his face, she could hear his happiness from his voice.

   Typos are corrected first and then corrected~

   Zhai today knows that Zhai Bao’s test scores almost didn’t cause sudden death, his old mother has no choice but to earn him extra tuition~~~o(╥﹏╥)o~~~

   I was a little depressed at first, but at night I suddenly found out that my beloved **** is going to release a new book~~

   Oh my god, I’m so excited~ This day has been full of ups and downs, and my swollen eyes almost exploded with excitement, quack~

   Typing with one eye is too strenuous, and the update is not enough, please don’t be offended, bow~

   There will be a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow morning, so I have to consider wearing a blindfold, with a one-eyed dragon shape, uh, the teachers and parents must be impressed by me, and the students are all there too, oops, I’m a bit thin-skinned and I’m too embarrassed to go out hahaha~

   The update can only be done in the afternoon, so don’t worry (`)
