Chapter 403 Losing Money

Feng is drying mung beans at home.

The mung beans at home were planted early, and some of them have grown into black pods. After picking them, put them under the sun for a good drying. The pods will fall off automatically. Use a chopstick to clean the pods, and the remaining mung beans After the grains are left in the sun for another three or four days, they can be packed in gourds and put away to make mung bean soup at any time.

“Why are you alone at home? Isn’t Brother Jin Bei back from outside?”

As long as Bai Jinbei was at home, he would never let Feng do these tasks.

As Su Mulan spoke, he put down the small bamboo basket in his hand and helped to pick out the dried pods of mung beans.

The mung beans have been sun-dried for a while, and the dry pods are easily peeled off from the mung beans.

"Harm, don't mention it." Mrs. Feng responded in a somewhat sullen tone, not bothering to hold the chopsticks anymore, and sat down on the low stool next to her. "Jin Bei has been busy running the medicinal materials business since last year. I have been running for almost a year, but this business is really difficult to do, and I have no hope of making any money. I run here and there all day long, and only a few pairs of shoes and a few cans of tea are lost. "

"I came back two days ago and discussed it with my parents. They said that this medicinal material business is really difficult to do, so I decided not to do it if it was not successful, so as not to worry about it and end up with nothing. My parents also agreed. Jin Bei will go out and deal with the remaining goods."

“While the weather is fine now, we will avoid being exposed to heat and moisture over the summer, and the medicinal materials will not be in good condition, let alone sell at a high price.”

"Let me tell you, I have so much land at home, and I don't have much land to spend money on. I farm two acres and rent out the rest. I don't have to worry about food and drink. Just don't bother and go outside to follow me. How can it be easy for others to steal business?”

"Brother Jin Bei also wants to make more money." Su Mulan said with a smile, "I don't want to talk about other things, but Yonghe is studying here. I am here now. When I have a career in the future, I will go to the county school. , Although the county school says that it is cheap, the filial piety given to the teacher, the communication between classmates, even pen, ink, paper and inkstone are probably much more expensive than now. "

“Coupled with these rounds of exams and getting married and starting a family in the future, there will be more places to spend money, so you have to make plans now.”

"Don't you think I'm in the same situation? Wu Ji and Qili Xiang in the county town seem to be able to earn a lot of money every month. But in the future, if the first four children in the family want to learn something, they will all The expenses won’t be small, so I’d better prepare early to avoid being blinded.”

Hearing what Su Mulan said, Feng's sighs were much lessened, and she nodded, "That's what happened."

I also felt that Su Mulan had really worked hard for these four children, and her expression suddenly became serious, "It's hard for you too."

"Hey, nothing is difficult. Now that I have accepted the call of mother, I have to fulfill my duty as a mother." Su Mulan pursed her lips and smiled, "After all, I have hope that the children will grow up." If I have a promising future, I will have someone to take care of me in the future, right?”

"You raise them and they take care of you, isn't that what you should do?" Mrs. Feng also smiled and asked, "Hey, why are you free to come here to talk to me today? Didn't you two days ago?" He also said that you were busy making a fool of yourself, and even if I asked you to go shopping in the market, you wouldn’t be able to take the time.”

“It’s because of the egg-turning incident.”
