Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

Chu Dashan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I want to weigh the weight of the ambergris. Don't tell anyone else except you, Chenze and your mother that I have ambergris."

Chu Xuan looked very calm, "As long as you don't get drunk and talk nonsense, other people will definitely not know. Also, we have to agree in advance that when the ambergris is sold, you have to put half of the money in the In my hands, I will provide you with your pension in the future.”

Chu Dashan's eyes rolled and he thought for a moment, "No problem!"

As long as he wanted to use money, there were plenty of ways to get Chu Xuan to spit it out.

Of course, he wanted Chu Xuan to write the receipt, so that the money would be safer in Chu Xuan's hands.

And all these things have to wait until it is sold.

Chu Xuan stood still and looked at Chu Dashan up and down.

Why didn't you find him so generous in your previous life?

Chu Dashan smiled and urged, "Go get the scale quickly!"

Chu Xuan then went out.

After a while, I got back a steelyard.

Chu Dashan made sure that the door of the main room was locked before unpacking the baggage.

Take out the bundle containing the ambergris and the wooden box.

Use a scale to weigh it.

Then weigh the baggage and wooden box.

In the end, the weight of ambergris was reduced, two and a half pounds.

It was half a kilogram more than Chu Dashan's estimated weight.

"Xiao Xuan, how many grams is half a catty? Is it 500 grams?"

Chu Xuan explained patiently, "Two catties are 1000 grams, and one catty is half of 1000 grams, which is 500 grams. Half a catty is half of 500 grams, which is 250 grams."

After Chu Dashan silently wrote it down, he whispered, "250 grams times 100, is it twenty-five thousand yuan?"

Chu Xuan gave him a thumbs up, "That's right!"

"In other words, by selling ambergris, I can earn at least 125,000 yuan?"

"Yes. There may be more. Just look at the quality of the ambergris! Of course, you also have to consider the actual weight of the ambergris when it is sold. After all, its weight will change due to factors such as humidity and temperature. , the chances of relief are high.”

"Don't we have to sell it as soon as possible?" Chu Dashan carefully put the ambergris back into the wooden box and wrapped it in a bag.

Chu Xuan put the scale on the table, "After the new year, Chenze and I will go abroad to visit my mother and the others. Then we will take it out and help you sell it."

"Great! How about helping to take the gold out and sell it?"

"Keep the gold and sell it yourself! You won't be able to sell it for much more."

"Okay! Leave this ambergris here with you! I'll take the rest to the city and sell it today."

Chu Xuan stared into Chu Dashan's eyes, "You never gave me anything valuable before. What's going on today? Are you leaving hundreds of thousands of ambergris here for me?"

"Don't trust those who employ them, and those who doubt them. I trust you. Besides, there are always people in your home, and thieves don't dare to visit. It's more appropriate for you to keep it instead of letting it go to me."

At this moment, Mu Chenfu's voice came from outside the door, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to change clothes and go to the dock. Is there any food in the kitchen? I want to bring two portions. Brother Lin and I will eat on the way."

Chu Dashan quickly wrapped the gold jewelry and pearls in bags, opened the door of the main room, and ran into the yard, "Chen Fu, bring me one too! I'll pay for it. I want to go to the city with your car, The toll is calculated as 10 yuan, okay?"

Mu Chenfu is a polite person, "My family pays a certain amount of travel expenses to Brother Lin. If you pay another 10 yuan for travel expenses, he can take you with him if he wants to. If he doesn't want to take you, there is nothing I can do."

Chu Dashan chuckled, "Just say something nice to me! We will all be a family from now on."

Mu Chenfu looked at Qin Mahua, who nodded towards him. Mu Chenfu nodded and agreed, "Okay! As for your meal money, it will be whatever my mother says."

Chu Dashan had long seen that Qin Mahua was not someone who took advantage, and he was sure the price was right, "Okay."

The lunch Qin Mahua prepared for them was roasted meat stuffed with lotus root.

Chu Dashan asked for five, and Qin Mahua took him a dollar.

It's just a cost price.

Chu Dashan felt more and more that becoming friends with the Mu family was the wisest choice he had made in recent months.

Qin Mahua watched Chu Dashan and Mu Chenfu go out, then walked into the main room, "Xiao Xuan, the baggage Chu Dashan took was much smaller. What valuable things did he leave at our house? Why does this room smell so good?" "

Mu Qinlao also walked in, "I smell it too. The scent is very familiar. I smelled it many years ago. It seems to be the scent of ambergris. Is this little baggage of Chu Dashan filled with ambergris?"

Chu Xuan promised not to tell anyone else, but his father-in-law had already guessed it, and there was no use hiding it anymore.

"That's right. When Chenze and I go abroad, we will help him sell it. We have already agreed with him that half of the money from selling the ambergris will be left by him to me and Chenze for his retirement in the future."

Mu Qinlao looked curious, "How much can this sell for?"

Chu Xuan responded softly, "It can be sold for at least 125,000 yuan."

Qin Mahua couldn't help but exclaimed, "How is this lazy old man Chu Dashan so lucky?"

Chu Xuan quickly made a silent gesture, "Mom, keep your voice down. Don't let others know about this. Otherwise, it will spread to Feng Chunhua's ears in the future, and after Feng Chunhua is released in a few years..."

Before she finished speaking, Qin Mahua already understood that this matter must not be spread, otherwise the second son's family might not get half of it.

He whispered, "Xiaoxuan, your father and I will not tell anyone. But why does Chu Dashan suddenly trust you so much? He won't have any bad ideas, right?"

Chu Xuan shook his head gently, "No. He is a smart man and knows that our family can bring him the greatest benefit, so he has good relations with our family. As for trust, it is because our family has good character. But we can't Take it lightly, he is a person who puts his interests first, and if there is someone more suitable for him to take care of in his old age than our family in the future, he will definitely go there with his money without hesitation."

Treat Chu Dashan just like doing business.

The family collects his money and provides him with meals, but there is no need to talk about feelings.

Mu Qinlao nodded to express his agreement with Chu Xuan's point of view, "Xiao Xuan, go back to the house and hide the ambergris first! Open the window in the main room to ventilate it, lest someone comes over and smells it, and then you have to explain it."

"it is good."

Chu Xuan went to open the window, but was stopped by Qin Mahua, "I'll come, you go back to the house and hide your things!"

Chu Xuan smiled, "Don't hide it in my house, hide it in our utility room! We usually pay more attention to it when we are at home."

During the Chinese New Year period, there are always people at home, so there is no need to worry about thieves visiting.

Mu Qinlao and his wife both nodded in agreement.

After a while, Chu Xuan put the baggage containing ambergris on the roof mezzanine of the utility room.

There are a lot of things on the mezzanine that don't weigh much and are not used on a daily basis but are not willing to throw away.

After putting them away, Chu Xuan washed his hands and walked into the kitchen to continue working.

Fried lotus root boxes, fried meat, fried tofu, fried fish, etc., and steamed more steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes...

Anyway, there are a lot of things to be busy with.

During the first month of the year, their family basically doesn’t have to make pasta anymore.

Three hours later, Mu Chenfu and several fishmongers in the village took the money settled at Boss Hou's factory and prepared to leave.

Boss Hou came over and asked Mu Chenfu to sit in the office for a while.
