At night, everyone gathered in Tang's room. Tang was sitting on the kang, covered with a thick quilt. The two little ones were by her side.
On the table is their income today. The copper coins accumulated like hills are so lovely in their eyes.
Nangong Yizhi and Shangguan Shaochen did not appear. Nangong Yizhi was not short of money, so he was naturally not interested in how much money they made. At that time, he would rather lie on the warm big bed and rest. Today, I worked as a lucky cat for a day, and watched the village girls all day, and my whole body is about to collapse.
As for Shangguan Shaochen...he never helped the Ling family for money, he just helped if he wanted to. After all, his surname is Shangguan, and he has no blood relationship with the Ling family, so he doesn't want to care about the accounts. However, although he did not attend their family meeting, today he is the person in charge of collecting the bills, and he knows very well how much he has earned.
Yang Daniu touched his head, and smiled honestly: "How much does it cost?"
"Let's count them!" Ling Mu'er said, "It's just a matter of stringing up these loose coins, so that it will be convenient to use them later."
"I can only count to fifty...I haven't counted so much money before!" Yang became nervous and even spoke out the local language.
"Mother, let's count, you are in charge of stringing." Ling Zixuan said gently: "Mother is flexible in movement, and must be faster than us."
Ling Dazhi often walks outside, and occasionally gets rewards from his boss, but he has some knowledge. However, the owner only rewarded him with broken silver coins, so he would not reward him with so many copper coins. Therefore, when he saw so many copper coins, his mind was also dizzy.
When everyone was helpless, Ling Muer had already counted hundreds of copper coins. Her movements were extremely fast, and she solved a bunch of hills in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that she was counting so fast, everyone was not bothered anymore. She was in charge of counting alone, and the others were in charge of counting, but they couldn't keep up with her speed.
Not long after, Ling Muer put down the last copper coin. She picked up the teacup next to her and took a leisurely sip.
A few people next to them have already stringed up copper coins. There are fifty strings in total, and some change. The loose money is a string of one hundred coins.
"One thousand coins is a string, a total of fifty strings, which is fifty taels of silver. There are five smaller strings, that is fifty-two thousand five hundred and thirty-five coins." Ling Muer finally said a number . "We are all at half price today, and the profit is not high. The ingredients alone cost twenty taels of silver. After deducting the cost of raw materials, we made a total of thirty taels."
"Oh my God!" Tang said in shock: "We have worked so hard to grow crops for a year, and we can't save two taels of silver even if we save food and money. You are only thirty taels of silver this day?"
"Grandmother, I haven't counted the labor costs of so many of us! So many of us spend time in this store, and the labor cost alone is about ten taels. And the original price will be restored tomorrow, and the price will be much higher. Willing There will be a lot fewer people coming to eat." There is one more thing Ling Muer didn't say. Today she used Nangong Yizhi's trump card, just because the man showed off his handsome face helped her attract many nympho girls. A noble son like Nangong Yizhi is not available at any time. Once he leaves, those nympho women will lose the beautiful men they entangle with, and I'm afraid they will lose a lot of customers.
Of course, after deducting all expenses, their net profit is not low. Even in the future, it is guaranteed to earn ten taels and eight taels a day, so it is no problem to maintain a large family.
As Tang said, when they go back to grow crops, even if they save food for a year and exchange the high-quality rice they grow for the lowest-grade sorghum noodles and cornmeal, they can only save a few dollars. two silver. Now that they have this shop, it is no problem to save a hundred taels of silver every month.
"That's not bad." Tang smiled happily.
They are all honest farmers who have never done business. Ling Mu'er spent all the money to open this shop, they couldn't help being nervous. Tang Corps couldn't see, but could only hear the noisy voices, knowing that their business was very good. But it was one thing to guess, and quite another to now know the money they made. Only when the money is in her hands is it her own, and the big stone in her heart can be completely let go.
"These five taels of silver belong to uncle." Ling Muer pushed the five strings of copper coins in front of Yang Daniu. "You and Xiaohu can buy whatever you want. Mu'er doesn't know anything, so it's inevitable that he will be a little neglectful. I hope uncle doesn't mind."
"No need. How can I take your money? We are already very grateful that you can think highly of uncle and let him take Xiaohu to eat and live here." Yang Daniu quickly refused.
"Xiaohu has never lived in such a big house, and he has never eaten such delicious food." Yang Xiaohu who was next to him said happily, "Xiaohu likes this place."
Yang Daniu looked at Yang Xiaohu dotingly. The child has been suffering all these years, and the child has never had a full meal with him, and he has not even worn a decent piece of clothing. Now he lives in a big house, wears beautiful new clothes, and is full of energy. All of this was brought to them by Mu'er girl, of course he knew how to be grateful.
"Uncle, I asked you to come here because I wanted you to help. But I can't let you help for nothing. If you don't accept it, I won't let you help. I would rather spend money to invite others to come than let you follow me Wronged." Ling Mu'er frowned and said, "You don't accept me, do you? Then I'll hire someone again."
"Nonsense." Yang Shi glared at Ling Muer. "Why did you talk to your uncle? Did you invite outsiders or your own people?"
Mrs. Yang scolded Ling Mu'er, turned her head and said to Yang Daniu: "Brother, my brother will settle accounts. You should just work here with us! Don't push around."
"That's the reason. You don't accept Mu'er's money, and Mu'er is not happy. If she really hires someone outside, can the outsider do things seriously? Maybe it will cause her trouble. You take the money! Usually, work harder, be more attentive, and just help Muer well." Tang couldn't see, and could only tell the direction by their voices.
Hearing what everyone said, Yang Daniu smiled embarrassedly: "That's too much. Even the most high-end restaurant waiter, it's only two taels of silver."
"The waiter in the restaurant only needs to serve tea and water, and greet guests. You have done all the work today. Besides cooking, where is you?" Ling Muer chuckled lightly: "So what you took is not Xiaoer's. The money. Take it! In the future, our business will be good, and we will distribute dividends to uncle according to the business."
"Okay." Yang Daniu took it tremblingly. "Then I'll take this money and hand it over to Xiaohu. Xiaohu, why don't you thank my cousin?"
"Thank you cousin." Yang Xiaohu said happily: "Can I really go to a private school?"
"Of course. I'm too busy these days. In a few days, my cousin will take you and my younger brother to find a private school. But you can't be idle recently. You must know that many teachers in private schools like smart and studious children, and the two of you have no background at all." But it can't be done, when the time comes, the master will test you, and you don't know anything, maybe you won't be accepted." Ling Muer frowned, looking in the direction of the guest room. "It seems that I have to find a master for you to learn the basics."
With her knowledge, it is no problem to give these two enlightenments. Yet she had no way of explaining to them why she had become omnipotent. Besides, she was busy with the business of the store every day, so she couldn't get away. Therefore, the only way is to ask other people in the house to help teach the children. And that other person - only Nangong Yizhi.
"Mu'er, you have your own ideas. We all listen to you. How do you arrange and how do we cooperate." Yang said: "If the children can be successful, they are also blessed by you. In the future, they will never forget Your favor."
"Mother, don't say these things." Ling Muer looked at Yang Shi. "I am willing to do anything for you. People's hearts are made of flesh. If you treat me well, I will naturally return it."
"However, not everyone's heart is made of flesh." Ling Zixuan frowned: "Some people are moths. You are willing to give him your heart, but he wants to eat your heart."
Ling Muer knew that Ling Zixuan was talking about those people in the old house. Now those people have also been punished, and they will not interfere with them in the future. Especially when Shangguan Shaochen is here, those people dare not come to touch their bad luck.
"So, they also got their retribution." Ling Mu'er said with a light smile: "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that there will be no retribution, the time has not yet come."
"I saw Ling Lin in the crowd today, and he already knew that our family owned this store." Ling Dazhi frowned and said, "I'm worried that he will make trouble."
"He should have seen Big Brother too. He wouldn't dare to have Big Brother here." Ling Muer said lightly.
"Mu'er, it's impossible for your elder brother to stay in our house forever. Although he doesn't say who he is, we all have eyes, and we can tell that he is not an ordinary person. Sooner or later, he will leave our house and leave this place. Small towns. Who can protect us by then?" Yang said.
"I can. If they haven't been beaten enough by me, I will beat them again. If you are not afraid once, then you will be twice. If you are not afraid twice, then you will be three times. When will they learn well, when will it be over." Ling Mu'er patted Yang's hand and comforted her: "Mother, my brother and I have grown up, so let us take care of everything in the family! You and dad can help us and take good care of my younger brother."
"Yeah! Mother, don't worry. Ling Lin is as timid as a mouse. What happened last time has made them fearful, and they dare not mess around again." Ling Zixuan said gently: "Our life is getting better and better. .No one will dare to bully us in the future.”
Ling Zixuan's happiest thing is not that his family has become rich, but that his leg injury is recovering. Although he hadn't fully healed yet, he was aware of his injuries, and he no longer had to walk with a limp. As long as he is a little slower, he is almost like an ordinary person. After a while, he will be able to walk as fast as before.
