Yes, owed.

And life is precious, and the price of food is higher.

Xu Tianxin and Yu Qinniang lit up with fish oil torches.

Mrs. Xu patted the big vat in front of her and told her sons that it was filled with rice.

A grain of rice is worth a thousand drops of sweat, and grains of grain are exchanged for sweat, so rice is expensive. Liu Laozhu sold her family for 22 Wen a catty.

At that time, I felt that the old thing was so disrespectful, and it was sold at the same price as the town.

Later, after listening to pepper chatter, I realized that Liu Laozhu had been wronged.

22 Wen was the price more than a month ago, and it rose to 23 Wen when Pepper came back from the county.It has been raining heavily these days, and in a month or so Yumao will experience a severe winter freeze and it might be 24.

Don't underestimate the difference between the price of one or two copper plates, a thousand catty is just one or two silver coins.

If both parties hadn't wanted to transport the goods, the old Liu's family would not have been able to bear such a loss. Half a tael of silver is not a small amount of money, but her family paid on credit first.

At present, I bought 11 catties of rice from Lao Liu's family, and I owe [-] taels for just rice.

But everyone who lives in the family knows that five hundred catties of rice is enough to do business?

Not to mention far away, let's take my own family as an example, three young men and a family of six, do you want to eat a hundred and eighty catties a month?Thinking about the caravan coming over, would five hundred catties be enough for two months?

I can't think so far, I can only wait until I make money, even if the price of rice rises to 26 cents, it is not worth it, I still have to buy it, let's talk about it at that time.

After showing the rice to her sons, Mrs. Xu pointed to the ten bags of white noodles stacked on the wooden board.

If you want to do business, white noodles are indispensable. Hanamaki steamed hair cake, fat steamed cakes and steamed dumplings, which one can lack noodles?

The old Liu's family can only give out a thousand catties: "Twenty Wen for a catty of flour, which is 20 taels owed."

The three brothers of Xu's family were so dizzy that they owed 31 taels of silver.

The three of them slept through the night, if not, let's go, go back to the county and continue to work to earn money.If you leave late, you won’t be able to find work if you want to eat your hard work when the rain stops.

The old lady Xu turned to look at her sons, "Don't worry, this is where you are going."

There is also a hundred catties of rhubarb rice, and two and a half silver coins.

Glutinous rice noodles are also what the locals call Jiangmi noodles, one hundred catties, three taels of silver.

To say that we ordinary people live a life of simple tea and light food, with a steady flow of water.

Coarse grains are the bulk.

So Mrs. Xu paid Liu Laozhu, including going to the main family in other villages in the name of Liu Laozhu, and also credited a thousand catties of sorghum noodles, two hundred catties of black beans, plus three taels of silver, and two thousand catties of corn. 20 taels of silver.Nine taels of silver for three thousand catties of sweet potatoes.

If you change the venue, the house won't fit.

In the warehouse.

Yu Qinniang and Xu Tianxin acted separately as soon as they entered the barn. One lifted off the tarpaulin that covered the corn cobs, and the other lifted the tarpaulin that covered the sweet potatoes.

It has been raining outside since I bought it, and the corn and sweet potatoes have not been put into the cellar yet.Those that can be hung high with baskets are naturally high, but those that cannot fit can only be piled up like this.

The three brothers held on to the door frame of the warehouse and looked at the corn and sweet potatoes all over the floor.

The third child asked the second child: "Second brother, how much do you owe?"

"68 halves."

This is so strange, when they owed 31 taels just now, the three brothers still thought that it would be bad to owe someone money, and wanted to pay back the debt.

Listening to Niang mentioning that they are going to do business, although the three brothers have not figured out where to go to do business, why do they suddenly want to eat dry food? To be honest, Niang’s cooking skills are not as good as those of Tianxin stewed fish. Tell mother.

But no matter what, you can't borrow money to do business?

Pinch your fingers and add up how long you work to make up for the rest of the debt. The three brothers still want to struggle and struggle to earn back to make up for it. Isn't it just 31 taels?Get rid of the money that brought the family home, risk your life and go outside to earn some.Then if you have to do business, you have to pay back the debts before doing it. At that time, it will be hard to say, no matter if you lose money or earn money, you don’t have to sell houses and land to beg for food.

But at this time, I heard that I owe 68 taels...

Let go of that thought.

Feeling exhausted, his brothers are also choking.

Mrs. Xu said, "Don't worry."

The three brothers now have a shadow on the three words "don't worry".

Don't be in a hurry: "Is there anything else you owe?"

"Ah, I still owe big pot money, pot money, and stone pot money."

These were bought by Liu Laozhu when he went out for group buying.

Mrs. Xu told her sons that she bought six large jars, and four of them were used to pickle sauerkraut.

In fact, in previous years, her family had to pickle at least a jar of sauerkraut, otherwise what would they eat in winter.

Southerners don't understand the pain of northerners. There is no fresh vegetables for half a year in a year. If you don't store them at this time, you won't be able to buy them if you don't see green outside for more than a month.Sometimes it snows in April.

The vegetables are nothing more than dried in the sun or pickled and stored in advance during the autumn harvest season, and then the Chinese cabbage is thrown outside and frozen in the ice and snow. When you want to eat, take a frozen cabbage into the house and blanch it in boiling water.Unlike modern times, there are so many off-season vegetables that can be bought at any time, and they are also very expensive.

What's more, she still has to do business, remove what the family eats from winter to spring, and want to make frozen dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut for the rest, and sell them to the leaders when the team of merchants arrives.

Let them leave our place, stay in the inn along the way and spend some firewood and boiled water to eat dumplings, and the ones we sell are cheaper than the inn, can they not buy some?
Therefore, the four big tanks of sauerkraut are not enough, but a large tank costs three coins, and if you only buy six defective water tanks, you owe Xiao Erliang.

At present, there are two extra large tanks for storing rice, and they will be vacated later, because there must be at least two large water tanks in the new house.

The old lady Xu told her sons: "There are ten big pickle jars, ten of which are only one tael cheap, right? Uncle Li Zheng went to Bai's house and borrowed them first, and paid off the debt at the end of the year. The family bought six stone pots on credit, and one stone pot costs 400 copper coins, which is another two-and-a-half. I wrote an IOU to you, Uncle Lizheng."

What kind of cooking can I use if I don't buy a stone-chiseled pot?What to use to fry fish floss.

She wanted to use a big iron pot, but a bigger iron pot cost ten taels of silver.

There is an old saying that you need to study for selling iron. It is rooted in ancient times, and iron pots are expensive.

This time, the fourth brother Xu asked the second child in a low voice: "Second brother, how much is this?"

"It's almost 74 taels."

Okay, this time either the three of them would not be able to earn that money if they were exhausted, or they would not be worth the money if they were sold.

As for the food that the whole family would have to eat, it was all placed in the house of the second child and Yu Qinniang.

Mrs. Xu took her family to inspect the warehouse, mainly to prevent rats. She held up a torch to check, and looked at her sons and asked: "What's the matter, are you worried? Or are you complaining that I didn't discuss it with you brothers? Owing so much money? It’s no use blaming me, it’s already been paid back on credit, and I can’t get it back after writing in black and white.”

The second Xu made his statement first: "Mother, how can I blame you. You and the rest of us talked about where we are going to do business, and what is going on. And we didn't find out about the fish when we came back. In this way, the three of us Only by knowing what is in your heart can you help the family pay off the debt as soon as possible.”

The sons will be the pillars when they come back.

Xu Laosan said: "Mother, I don't feel worried. Isn't there a saying that if there are too many lice, don't you worry?"

74 taels of lice, what do you want to do so much:

"Mother, why don't you tell us what's going on, trouble, just say, what we want to do is over."

And although Xu Laosi's heart flutters when he listens, he is good at discovering the other side, and it's no wonder he is a sweet leather jacket with a sweet mouth: "Mother, you are really capable, and we can't borrow it if we kneel down. If you dare to borrow it, the other party will borrow it." Dare to credit, this is a big skill."
