Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 16 Eating Big Meat Noodles
According to the calculation method of the Great Xia Dynasty, one thousand copper plates are worth one penny, and one penny is one tael of silver.

Now Lin Xiao hacked and killed a giant python, and the government gave 50 taels of silver.

It can be seen that the Great Xia Dynasty strongly encouraged the hunting of dangerous animals.

As soon as they got out of the government office after receiving the reward, they were stopped by several fur dealers who rushed over after hearing the news.

"Lin Xiaowu, great job! You actually killed such a big python! How much is it? Make a price!"

There were only a few fur dealers in the town, and they were acquaintances of Lin Xiaowu, so they came to inquire immediately.

In their town, beating tigers and wolves is rare and common, at least seven or eight of them are killed every year.

Beasts like tigers and wolves usually bid around 30 taels of silver.

But the giant python is different. The giant python hacked to death in Linjiacun is really rare!

Therefore, Lin Xiaowu stretched out his hand and compared the character "six".

The fur dealer took a look, and immediately cursed:

"Lin Xiaowu, you son of a bitch, talk to me like a lion, right?"

The rest of the fur dealers also pointed at Lin Xiaowu.

"Old Lu, have you ever seen such a big python skin?"

Lin Xiaowu, who was scolded, was neither angry nor annoyed. He unfolded the dried snake skin and continued:
"Look, where can you find such a large and complete python skin?!"

"That's not worth 60 taels of silver!"

"This snakeskin can be made into at least three complete dresses, and one snakeskin dress can be sold for 50 taels of silver. How about three?"

"What if I miss it? No, no, no, 60 taels of silver is too expensive, please make it cheaper."

……

After some bargaining, the python skin was finally sold to Lao Lu for 50 taels of silver.

Including the 50 taels of reward he received from the government office just now, Lin Xiao had a total of 100 taels of silver on him.

It sounds like a lot, but it's actually just two ingots of silver ingots.

Although two ingots of silver ingots are not too much, but in the Great Xia Dynasty where the per capita income was not even half a penny, Lin Xiao had already become a little rich woman.

"Let's go, let's eat big meat noodles, open your belly to eat, and keep full!"

Lin Xiao, who was rich, waved his hand and brought a few people to the stall where she and Li Yuyan ate big meat noodles.

I ordered ten bowls of big meat noodles in one go.

The village chief and the others each had three bowls, and Lin Xiao had one bowl.

After the noodles came, Lin Xiao put a little bit of the salt she made into the big meat noodles.

Lin Xiaowu and Mazi looked at each other, wondering what Lin Xiao put in their noodle bowls.

But seeing the village head and Lin Xiaohu eating happily, they started eating without paying attention.

The fresh and salty noodle soup is paired with chewy noodles and big meat that melts in the mouth, and several people have a great time eating it.

After Lin Xiao finished eating, he went to the bank first and exchanged one of the large silver ingots for ten hanging copper coins and four small ingots of ten taels each.

She originally thought about replacing them with small ingots, but she was also afraid that it would not be convenient for copper coins.

After all, half a penny is already a lot of money for them, let alone ten pennies?

I can't find it at all!
When Lin Xiao rushed over, they had just finished eating the big meat noodles.

Lin Xiao settled the bill and gave each of them a sling of copper coins.

In an instant, the basket is very relaxed!

"Xiao Linzi, this is too much, it must not be allowed!"

The village chief looked at the hanging money on the table, and he felt it was very dazzling. He took Lin Xiao's hanging money when he came to the government office with Lin Xiao, which must be a little black-hearted!

Several other people felt that the money was very hot, and they ate a meal of rice porridge and big meat noodles without doing anything.

Now they have to take so many red packets, eat and take, they don't have the face!
Seeing the reactions of several people, Lin Xiao was extremely satisfied. It seemed that he had read the right people.

She smiled and said: "You guys came to the government office with me early in the morning to collect rewards and sell snake skins. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what to do. Therefore, you deserve it!"

Lin Xiao wasn't self-effacing. If the village chief hadn't reported the matter to the government, she wouldn't have gotten so much reward.

Without the bargaining between Lin Xiaowu and the village chief and the fur dealer Lao Lu, the giant python skin might have to be sold at a low price.

"We folks in the village should help."

The village chief continued: "You also invited us to drink rice porridge and eat big meat noodles, that's enough, you take the money back, we can't take it!"

"Yes, Xiao Linzi, take it back quickly!"

"Brother Lin Xiao, put the money away quickly, the money will not be revealed."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Linzi, put it away!"

Look, look, how simple is the heart that has not been simmered in poisonous chicken soup!

Lin Xiao secretly sighed, then turned his face down, pretending to be angry and said:

"I, Lin Xiao, am a scholar, and I value face the most. Are you really going to refute my face?"

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhen was angry, the village chief collected the money helplessly, and cursed helplessly:
"You are good at everything, but this temper is more stubborn than a cow!"

When the other people saw that the village head had collected the money, they couldn't refuse any more, so they each collected the money.

Mazi still didn't forget to tell Lin Xiao to keep the money well, save some money, don't waste money, and have no restraint.

Next, Lin Xiao's operation made several people see what it means to spend money like water.

Lin Xiao went to the market to buy an oversized wooden barrel, two bags of rice and half a wild boar.

In the end, I bought a lot of candied haws and maltose, saying that I would share them with the aunts and children in the village.

After going back and forth, the money was spent like this.

The big men beat their feet and chests with heartache, and scolded Lin Xiao for being a loser.

On the way back, Lin Xiao asked several people to help move dozens of catties of salt and stone, and then returned home satisfied.

Li Yuyan had been waiting at the entrance of the village since he came back from Zhoujia Village, and finally brought Lin Xiao back when the lanterns came on.

"Why so late?"

He immediately took the bamboo basket on Lin Xiao's arm. The bamboo basket was very heavy, and his heart ached.

She walked back from Jiuzhou Town with such a heavy basket alone?

"The basket is so heavy, why not put it on the cart?"

Distressed Li Yuyan complained.

"Hey, look, where is there room on this cart!"

It was only then that Li Yuyan realized that the cart had already been piled to the brim with messy goods, and there was indeed no room left.

"What are these things?"

"Big wooden barrels, and rice and wild boar and sugar and things like that."

Lin Xiao looked like a child asking for credit from adults, she introduced excitedly.

"What do you need a big wooden barrel for? Taking a bath?"

Li Yuyan asked puzzledly.

"This is my new salt making..."

Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, Li Yuyan hurriedly covered her mouth:
"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Oh, it's okay, I told them, it's no secret anymore."

Lin Xiao took Li Yuyan's hand from her mouth and said with a smile.

"You all know?"

Li Yuyan suddenly felt dizzy.

How could this silly woman tell others her secret of getting rich?
