Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 20, Dividing Money
"Gouzi, hurry up and grind the soy milk, do you still want to marry a mother-in-law before the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Heishan was patrolling the yard. He is now the manager of Liu Jiaxue's salt workshop, and when he saw someone slacking off, he immediately scolded him.

At this time, Zhao Erhu was grinding soybean milk, and he was scolded by Zhao Heishan just to take a breather, and had to turn the millstone desperately. Zhao Erhu was not afraid of anyone, but Zhao Heishan with a straight face.

"Uncle Black Mountain~"

Liu Jin came to the yard and saw that the Zhao family was busy in the heavy snow. They all had a layer of snow on their bodies, but they were still busy and had no intention of resting.

"I think let's take a rest. It just so happens that my meal is cooked. Let's have a meal together at my house."

"Brother Jin, how can this work? Your family is not a landlord and rich family. How can you eat at your house every day? My family's meal is almost ready. After finishing this, we will go back to eat."

Seeing Liu Jin, Zhao Heishan finally had a smile on his dark face.

In just over a month, two batches of Snow Salt have been sold. With the money earned from Snow Salt, Zhao Heishan's family has changed their skills.

If it was the past years, this time is exactly when Zhao Heishan is most worried.

It’s winter and it’s snowing, basically there’s nothing to do, but there are still more than a dozen mouths to feed in the house, plus the cold weather, winter clothes, firewood for heating, charcoal fire, etc., These things are enough to make his hair gray.

Of course, not only Zhao Heishan, but also the whole of Xiahetun. Every winter, the children in Xiahe Village were beaten the most.

Adults who are frowning, worried about the next meal, and worried about the winter, will become extremely irritable, and they will beat their children and wives at every turn. The crying of children and mother-in-law almost covers the whole place. winter.

But it's different now.

Everyone in Zhao Heishan's family was wearing brand-new, brand-new cotton-padded clothes, very warm, and everyone's face was ruddy and shiny. It was obvious that they were full of food and warmly dressed, and lived a small life that was unimaginable before.

And all of this was brought about by Liu Jin in front of him, so Zhao Heishan's family now obeyed Liu Jin's words, and Zhao Heishan respected Liu Jin even more.

In the past, Liu Jin was respected because Liu Jin was a scholar, and he would definitely be successful in the future. In addition, Liu Jin's father had helped their family and saved their life.

Now it is more because Liu Jin is able to bring their family to eat well, wear warm clothes, and even have money in their hands. They are preparing to build a new house and tell Zhao Erhu his mother-in-law.

"Eating a meal is nothing, come, come, everyone take a break, rest, rest, wash your hands, and prepare to eat."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said, in fact, Liu Jin had asked his mother Wang to prepare more meals beforehand, because it was time to distribute the money again.

Yesterday was the beginning of the month, Zhang Tianhao arrived as scheduled, and bought the newly refined snow salt from Liu Jin. According to the agreement between Liu Jin and Zhao Heishan's family, the salt was sold on the first day of the new year, the silver was divided on the second day, and the salt was sold on the fifteenth day. Sixteen cents.

So every second and sixteenth day of junior high school, Liu Jin would ask his mother, Mrs. Wang, to prepare a good meal as a reward to the Zhao family and at the same time distribute the money.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the Zhao family looked at Zhao Heishan one by one. Seeing that he had no objection, they happily put down their work and prepared to eat.

Every time Liu Jin treats him to a meal, it’s the same as during the Chinese New Year. Good meals and good dishes are prepared. Big pieces of braised pork with fragrant white rice are definitely a great enjoyment in life.

Although Zhao Heishan's family is now making money with Liu Jin, they are absolutely reluctant to cut meat and eat white rice. After all, they have a large population, and they are used to being poor. They have always been frugal.

In the dining room of Liu Jin’s family, only Liu Jin, Wang Shi, Zhao Heishan, Zhao Dahu, and Zhao Erhu were sitting at the dining table. The rest of the Zhao family were not allowed to sit at the table. .

"Uncle Heishan, last time we extracted a total of more than 2000 catties of snow salt and sold it for almost 300 taels of silver. This achievement is 30 taels of silver. Do you calculate this number, right?"

Satisfied with wine and food, Liu Jin also took out the account books and began to reconcile the accounts with Zhao Heishan's family in detail.

Both parties are clear about how many catties the snow salt was extracted, and how much it was sold for. After all, both parties participated in the whole process in person, and no one can hide it from the other.

"Yes, Brother Jin, the number is correct."

When talking about Yinzi, the smile on Zhao Heishan's face became even wider.

"This is 30 taels of silver, and the other 10 taels of silver is my bonus for everyone."

Liu Jin nodded, and then took out 40 taels of silver and 10 taels of small ingots, and placed four of them on the table.

"What's so funny about that?"

The smile on Zhao Heishan's dark face grew wider. When the money was distributed for the first time, Liu Jin also gave him a bonus. At first, he didn't understand what the bonus was, but Liu Jin finally understood after explaining it.

Unexpectedly, this time, Liu Jin also paid a bonus, and a bonus of 10 taels of silver at one time. You must know that 10 taels of silver is not a small amount, and 3 taels of silver is enough for Zhao Erhu to marry an aunt. 10 taels of silver was enough for their family to build a house, buy furniture and so on.

"You deserve it. Without your hard work, we wouldn't be able to extract 2000 catties of snow salt in half a month. Accept it."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

This is the truth. Since Zhao Heishan's family tasted the sweetness of sharing the money last time, their enthusiasm for work has been fully aroused. The family is desperate to work, and they work day and night.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew very well that if he wanted a horse to run fast, he had to feed the horse well, and the bonus system came into being.

A mere 10 taels of silver is nothing compared to the money he got from selling salt this time, but it can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of Zhao Heishan's family to work and earn more money for Liu Jin.

"Thank you Brother Jin~"

Zhao Heishan thanked Liu Jin very respectfully, and took the silver. His dark face was grinning from ear to ear. He had never owned so much silver. If he hadn't met Liu Jin twice, he probably Going crazy now.

"Brother Jin, someone in the village is spying on us, what do you think we should do?"

Then Zhao Heishan showed a sad look on his face, thought for a while and said.

"I also know this. Someone will definitely inquire about us."

Hearing Zhao Heishan's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but frowned. After all, there was no way to keep some things from the neighbors.
