Chapter 13 13 A Lot of Money
Their bedroom is very spacious, with a large bed against the wall and a large closet for clothes at the end of the bed, but it is empty now.

Only Li Yu and Li Hao have two or three sets of clothes throughout the year, even if they are old clothes with patches.

As for the remaining three people, there are only two clothes for changing and washing, and the changed clothes must be washed quickly, and they must be dried if there is no sun, otherwise they will not be able to wear them the next day.

In addition, there is a table for the Eight Immortals in the room. At the moment there are three small earthen pots on the table, and Li Changhui's cloth bag containing money is just casually thrown on the table.

Lin He quickly walked a few steps and picked up the money bag: "Why did you put it here? What if you lose it?"

As he spoke, he gave Li Changhui a sneaky look, only Li Changhui would be so bold. With so much money, even if the bedroom door is closed, it can't be thrown on the table carelessly like this.

Li Changhui hugged Li An in one hand and the oil lamp in the other, and closed the door with his foot.

He conveniently put the oil lamp on the table, carried Li An over and put him on the bed. It was only March, and even though the sun was shining brightly during the day, it was still cold at night.

Put Li An in the middle, pulled the quilt over, but said indifferently: "There is someone at home, the door is closed, who will come to steal things, besides, even if someone comes, I can still hear it."

Lin He didn't pay attention to the second part of the sentence. She had already opened the money bag and let out a small exclamation.

"Wow, a lot of money, is this silver?"

As he spoke, he quickly fell down on the table, making a clacking sound, which made people like it.

There are hundreds of copper plates in a pile, but this is not the point, after all, one thousand coins can be exchanged for one tael of silver.

What Lin He was talking about was a few scraps of silver in a pile of copper coins. There were seven or eight pieces of silver in total. There were obvious signs of being cut on the scraps of silver, presumably they were cut from silver ingots.

Lin He picked out all the broken silver, which felt quite heavy in his hand.

"How much does this have to be, about three or two?"

Li Changhui glanced at Lin He with surprise.

Lin He was staring at the silver in his hand, not paying attention at all.

"Yes, just three taels of silver, and more than 400 copper coins."

Lin He's eyes widened quite a bit: "With so much money, the spices you bought are worth a lot, right? Hunting makes you so much money?"

"A total of four liang or so. Spices are more expensive. These earthen pots are only a dozen yuan, and half a catty of white wine is twenty yuan."

Lin He calculated it in his mind. There were four taels in total, and three and a half were left. It took about five hundred Wen.
In other words, with just a little spice, it took five hundred wen!

As for liquor and earthen jars, they are almost negligible in front of spices.

Instant pain: "This spice is too expensive."

"It's okay, the shopkeeper said that these can be used for a year and a half for household use, so it's not too expensive."

Lin He calculated in his heart, nodded: "That's true."

Expensive is a bit expensive, but the spices are also quite complete. In addition to the chili pepper, ginger and garlic used tonight, there are eight or nine kinds of spices such as bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, etc., which add up to a catty, and it will take a long time.

After thinking about it, Lin He picked out two small pieces of broken silver, about one tael, and counted two hundred copper coins, and put them back into the money bag.

"I'll take this to town tomorrow. In addition to buying clothes, I also need to buy some fatty meat cooking oil, preferably suet, which is more fragrant than fatty meat cooking oil. By the way, see if there are any chickens for sale, buy ten first return."

"Li Yu and Li Hao also bought two more new clothes. Don't just wear new ones for us. The two children still wear old and worn-out clothes. It will cause others to gossip, and they will feel uncomfortable."

Li Changhui nodded, had already sat on the edge of the bed, and began to take off his coat: "It's fine, you can arrange it."

Lin He took the money bag and handed it to Li Changhui: "You take the money tomorrow, it's not easy to lose it."

Then he took out all the sixteen texts under the mattress and put them together with the rest on the table.

Under Li Changhui's surprised gaze, he put two pennies into each of the three jars.

It may be that Li Changhui's gaze was too intense, Lin He blinked and explained: "This is the pocket money for the three of us, and the rest should be hidden. It is best if a thief comes and can't find it."

As he spoke, he put all the remaining scraps of silver and copper coins into the last earthen jar, and just about to close the lid, he suddenly counted another fifty Wen.

"Then what, can I go and buy some private things for girls tomorrow?"

A little awkward, but okay.

Li Changhui didn't quite know what the personal belongings she was talking about were, but he still nodded: "Yes, it's not convenient for you to tell me what you need, just buy it yourself."

He is a big man, and he really doesn't understand what personal items a girl needs.

Lin He immediately showed a smiling face: "Thank you."

Busily collected the money, put the three earthen pots in the closet, and finally held the one with the most money and worried: "Where do you put this? It's best where even thieves can't find it. You can't dig a hole and bury it." Bar?"

Li Changhui, who was already lying down, got up again, got out of bed, took the crock pot in Lin He's hand, took a few steps back, and then ran forward, stepped on the stool with one foot, and then on the table, using his strength to move up Leap high.

When Lin He reacted with wide-eyed eyes, Li Changhui had already climbed onto the beam with one hand, and put the earthen jar firmly on the beam with the other hand.

Immediately let go, fell on the table, jumped off, took a handkerchief to wipe the table, and went back to bed.

The whole process takes only a few breaths of effort, no more than 2 minutes at most.

When Li Changhui lay down again, Lin He was still looking up at the beam in a daze, and then at Li Changhui on the bed.

Standing below, you can't see the existence of the earthen pot at all.

It should be visible from other locations during the day, but under normal circumstances, no one should be looking for things on the beams.

"Go to sleep, go to town early tomorrow, or you won't be able to buy suet."

When he went to the market in the afternoon, he didn't see any meat, not to mention suet and fat.

"Oh, alright."

Lin He finally came back to his senses, and nodded blankly in response. When he came to the bedside, he still couldn't help but keep looking up.

It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Climbed from Li Changhui's lap into the bed, and after lying down, Lin He was not without emotion.

"You are so powerful, so high, you jumped straight up."

Li Changhui blew out the oil lamp, and the whole room fell into darkness instantly: "Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, and go to town after dinner."

It was a long way to go to the town, and the other three would be tired if they were hungry.

Although they were covered with a quilt, there was Li An among them, who had already started to sleep soundly, and it was not the first day, so they didn't feel embarrassed.

Maybe it was because the family was rich and his heart was at ease, Lin He soon fell asleep.

In the dream, the trees were shady, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and when I woke up, I could already hear the rustling sound of getting dressed.
