Blessed or not (2)

Other than the winter clothes of his family, Black Bean also brought back the essential daily necessities such as the oily salt, bowls, chopsticks that he had been instructed to buy, as well as the thin cotton clothes that he planned to bring to his maternal grandma's house. He had wanted to cut some meat and return, but he was delayed by the matter with the Gu family. Although he didn't buy much of any of these things, the cost was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, half of the money he got from selling the xuan paper had been spent.

"These broken bowls are actually so expensive!"

Li Yannian had always thought that porcelain was nothing precious, but she never thought that just buying a few rough bowls and pans would cost him about four to five hundred gold.

"These things have always been expensive. If it wasn't for the fact that Third Uncle didn't come down in time, our big pot would have been taken away and sold." A new big iron pot costs seven hundred dollars. "

Li Yannian was speechless, but after thinking about it, she understood that the ancient handicraft industry was not developed, so these things required a lot of effort and resources, so naturally the price would go up.

In the end, he still had to find a way to earn some money early on. He wouldn't be as shabby as he was now. Spending money would hurt his heart even if he had to spend it all day.

After thinking for a while, Li Yannian suggested, "Brother, wait for the weather to warm up a bit, let's raise some chickens."

Black Bean frowned, "Raising chickens? These things were not easy to raise. One was sick, and the rest were all dead. Besides, where did we get the leftovers to feed the chickens? Even if we let them out every day to graze, they wouldn't be able to grow much. "

Li Yannian was very confident in this matter, and laughed: "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it. Brother, look where you're going to get the chicken seedlings. Remember to leave some silver to buy the chicken seedlings. When you go back and ask Auntie Li, tell her to go to the village and help us collect some eggs. Just tell her that there's a large family in the village who wants them, and you can pay for them. "

Black Bean was even more confused, thinking that if he took the egg, he wouldn't be able to eat it at home, but due to his unconditional trust in his sister, he nodded his head and asked her: "Last year's egg was three pieces of money, now I don't know how much it is, Second Girl, how many eggs do you want?"

Li Yannian winked at him, "How much do you want? Only with eggs can you get Xuan paper and trade for money. Brother, you can take it with ease, it doesn't matter if you spend all your money, since there will be more anyway."

Black Bean thought, could it be that the deities in the sky loved eating eggs so much? The hobbies of deities were really a bit hard to understand. He shook his head. Anyway, he just had to listen to his sister.

"Alright, then I'll go and find my aunt tomorrow."

After the two discussed everything, Li Yannian took care of the things that Black Bean brought back, while Mao Dou went to give his big brother some hot porridge to drink, after a while, the man and the woman finally fell asleep, satisfied with their unlimited prospects for the future.

On the second day, Black Bean went to look for the Auntie Li next door as per his sister's wish. When the other party heard that Black Bean had found a job collecting goods for someone else, they pitied their family and agreed without hesitation.

Li Yannian's prediction was not wrong. New Year was not wrong, this period of time was the most prosperous time for the Kan Zi villagers. As a result, before even half a day had passed, when villagers found out that Auntie Li's family collected all the eggs, and gave them all the money, they stopped chatting and stopped counting the children in their hands. After counting the eggs, she rushed over to the Li Family.

Amongst them, of course, was Li Yannian's shrewd aunt and her Third Aunt who loved to take advantage of people the most. One of them held three eggs the size of dates, and under the mocking and sarcastic gazes of the other aunts, their expressions did not change, and they were not in a hurry to do business with the Auntie Li, chattering away.

One of them smiled and complimented Auntie Li: "Aunt is so rich, to be able to find such a good way, it is all because Aunt is a good person. This, the way to make money does not fall on other people's shoulders, it is Auntie Luo's house!"

A faked voice chimed in, "That's right. I wonder which big family in the town is having a wedding. They need so many eggs and all the cash. Aunt must be really lucky to be able to work for such a family. The rich people shook their hands, and enough fell out of their fingers for us to eat and drink for a while. "

Auntie Li was initially very busy with collecting eggs, but these two kept walking around in front of him. Not only did they not talk about business, they even talked about other stuff, which annoyed them a lot.

Now that these two sentences had been spoken, Auntie Li finally understood why the Li Family and the Buddha came here. She could not help but sneer and pull at the corner of her mouth: "I say, why are the two of you holding onto these three little chickens like they were some sort of treasures? As for me, I am indeed very lucky. As a person, I am also kind and honest. That's why these fortune reports came to me. "Sister Xiu, Cui Er, don't worry about me. No one is an idiot. If you have the ability to earn money, then go and find out for yourselves. If you don't, then come back and sell some chicken meat …"

With such a big movement, of course the other aunties in the room wouldn't miss it. They all turned around, stifling their laughter, the two daughter-in-law from Old Man Li's family sure had done an ugly job, to think that they could find such a small chicken!

Wang Xiumei and Xu Cui'e's expressions finally changed. The two sister-in-law and sister-in-law looked at each other. Their faces were both red as a pig's liver. How could they have the face to stay any longer?

Auntie Li spat at the two people's backs, "Pui! These two shamelessly want to dig their way out of the wall, what a beautiful idea! "

Actually, they also wanted to ask which big family in the town was collecting chickens. The price that the Auntie Li was asking was three gold coins a coin, so the price couldn't be said to be unfair. If they didn't give too high of a price, then it would be fine. They thought that if they took the chicken directly to the town, they might even be able to get a higher price from the big families there.

However, their skin was not as thick as Old Man Li's. After selling their eggs, they stayed in Auntie Li's house to help them chat. They only wanted to keep Auntie Li's mouth shut, so that they might be able to hear a word or two from him. Now that the Auntie Li had said it so straightforwardly, everyone's hearts were clear. There was no hope, there was no interest in sitting anyway, and once they saw that the time was right, they got up and said their goodbyes one by one.

After sending off the last aunt, Auntie Li stood up and relaxed his muscles and bones. He then counted the eggs that he had received, other than Black Bean's old debt of three hundred coins, he had used up most of the money he had given in the morning. Looking at the pile of eggs in front of her, she was curious to see whose home Black Bean was actually taking them for.

But seeing that Black Bean brat's shut mouth, Auntie Li was not as tactless as Soo Soo and the others. Who told that brat, Black Bean, once he had the money, he would repay the debt of lending his family for the funeral. Not to mention that he had set a different price for his family, he even paid a coin for an egg! Even though this amount of money didn't seem like much, accumulated over time, it was definitely not a small sum!

Don't look at the straightforward look on Auntie Li's face, she had already recognized Black Bean's words, and would be collecting things more often in the future. The extra money was for free, only a fool would tell the two black-hearted Old Man Li family members! When Auntie Li thought about how and Xu Cui Er would react if they found out that the method to collect eggs was actually Black Bean's, he started laughing so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back.

Who would have thought that there would be a day when he would be able to make a comeback?
