Chapter 12 Accounting after Autumn

Seeing that Zhenxing didn't understand, Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "I discussed it with my man last night and wanted to buy your secret recipe. We paid for it, and you won't lose money."

Zhen Xing smiled secretly. Aunt Zhang was quite economical. Unexpectedly, it was not easy for her Korean pickles to sell for money.

"Okay, of course it's good. Ten taels of silver, I'll give you all the secret recipes. Zhen Xing said with a smile.

Aunt Zhang's eyes widened and said after a long time, "Why don't you grab it? Ten taels of silver? It's not like that!" Their family's annual income is only thirty or forty taels. Isn't it crazy to ask her to take out one-third to buy secret recipes? Ten taels of silver is enough for how many pigs her family?

"Aun aunt, I didn't give you a lie. How much did I waste just experimenting with this pickle? Besides, I can sign a contract for you. I will never sell this secret recipe to a second person. As long as you don't say, you are the only one who sells pickles, which can be said to be a monopoly market. Isn't that good? Zhen Xing said.

Aunt Zhang thought to herself that ten taels of silver is a sky-high price. It's better to go home and study it by yourself, and maybe she can make more delicious pickles. However, they went for the signboard of Zhenxing. Besides, I secretly made pickles a few times a while ago, but they were not satisfactory. This thing looks simple, but it tastes like a person. Customers are used to the taste of Zhenxing, which is secretly imitating Zhenxing's pickles in the next town. Recently, the shop has also been yellowed.

"You can make it cheaper." Aunt Zhang pleaded.

Zhen Xing smiled and tilted her body. In the autumn morning, there was an incomprehensive sense of coldness. Zhen Xing pulled her clothes and said with a smile, "Aunuch, you are really at a loss of ten taels of silver. If you don't buy it, I will keep it and continue to open next autumn. You have seen how much money you have made in the past two months of this year. You can buy it or not. I won't force it.

Aunt Zhang thought of the daily customers coming and going of Zhenxing's stalls. She bought the technology of bean curd rice and pumpkin cakes. In addition to the cost, she also made more than two taels of money in a month. Although she didn't seem to have much money, it also subsidized the family.

Aunt Zhang agreed to Zhen Xing's condition. Zhen Xing went into the inner room and changed her clothes. Aunt Zhang went home to get the silver, and the two went to the patriarch to sign the deposit. Zhen Xing earned another ten taels of silver, and she was secretly proud.

The stars at night blinked one after another. Zhen Xing sat on a small chair, and the big black dog at home half squatted beside her. Although this dog is not a famous dog, it is very clever and likes Zhen Xing. It's just that I eat too much every day, which often makes Zhenxing marvel at its amount of food.

Qi Bosong hasn't come home yet, and Zhen Xing is uneasy. The cold weather in the early autumn night was heavy. Zhen Xing shivered, went back to the house to add an extra dress, lit a small oil lamp, and planned to go out to the entrance of the town to wait for Qi Boxong.

The big black dog is ready to go. Every day, it can only go out with its owners sooner or later. Although the living conditions are good, there is no freedom, let alone the little bitch in the ** period. It is not very complacent.

Zhen Xing led the big black dog and took a few steps. She directly saw her carriage coming slowly. Zhen Xing hurriedly walked up with a lantern. When Qi Boxong saw Zhen Xing, he was also happy.

The big black dog, who went home without a few steps, was reluctant. The horse was led into the backyard and will continue to rent it tomorrow. The house is still warm as usual, and Qi Bosong closed the door with a smile.

Have you eaten yet? I cooked porridge and dry food at home. Zhen Xing asked kindly.

Qi Bosong walked into the living room with a smile and put himself on the sofa tiredly. Don't be busy, I've had dinner outside. Are you at home alone today? Have you eaten yet? Qi Bosong asked.

"Of course I ate it. By the way, how's the business? Have you sold it yet? Zhen Xing asked.

Qi Bosong smiled and said proudly, "Of course it's sold. Is there any time when I don't succeed? I went to five restaurants, each of which asked for 2,000 catties, and all our cabbages were sold!"

"Really?" Zhen Xing's eyes jumped with excitement.

"Of course." Qi Bosong raised his head proudly.

"How much is it for a catty?" Zhen Xing asked excitedly.

Qi Bosong's eyes were a little gloomy, and he said awkwardly, "It's just that the price is a little low, a big man is a catty."

"Ah?" Zhen Xing shouted in surprise.

Zhen Xing's little abacus immediately cracked up a small account. A total of 10,000 catties of cabbage are produced in ten mu of land. One big son is one catty, and one catty is one thousand big children, that is, one liang of silver, and ten thousand catties of money is made a total of ten taels of silver. It took more than two months to grow cabbage. On average, I earned more than four taels of silver every month. Except for artificial, seeds, etc., it is about four taels of silver a month.

Zhen Xing just hurriedly took out the account book from the wardrobe. Qi Boxong earned eight taels of silver by growing vegetables, six taels of silver by opening a teahouse, and making a total of twenty taels of silver by selling pickles. Together, it was a total of thirty-four taels of silver. It is converted into RMB, that is, more than 10,000 yuan.

In just two or three months, she earned more than 30 taels of silver, and Zhen Xing was very happy. The ancients said that it is a true truth that heaven rewards diligence and hard work to get rich! This is much happier than being a rice worm in the palace. No wonder people say that the poor life is going on. Life can only be colorful through hard work.

There was a strange light in Zhen Xing's eyes. In the past two months, the two of them spent less than five taels of silver in total. It turned out that in addition to Zhen Xing's clothes at the beginning of the month, they made a dress. On weekdays, all the food and drinks of the two were completed at home. The one-time investment of rice and white noodles has benefited for several months. In this era, there is no electricity, water and Internet fees, and the cost of living has been reduced a lot at once.

In addition, the firewood used to burn the fire is generally picked up by yourself. The water is picked from the well, and the vegetables are dug from your own field, or spend a few big children to buy some in other people's field. Probably the only place that consumes money is a greedy big black dog, and the other is a horse with a rental name that has never been rented.

It is a woman's nature to save money. It doesn't matter what she will do with this money in the future. Now let her save it, she will feel that she is the happiest person in the world.

"Is the matter of cabbage accurate?" Zhen Xing asked excitedly.

"Of course, look, there are all the documents. From tomorrow, they will send carriages to pull one after another. At that time, we will have the money!" Qi Bosong said.

Zhen Xing pushed the newly calculated account to Qi Boxong's eyes. Qi Boxong was also very excited to see that he had made so much money in the past few months. Although what he earns is only a fraction of what he earns in the palace, this kind of small money is more real and more lifelike. He sometimes forgets that he was once a bodyguard in the palace. He feels that he is an ordinary man leading the apricot to a good life.

Qi Bosong took out a small porcelain box from his coat and said, "I'll give it to you." Qi Bosong said that he was a little embarrassed, and even a slight sweat oozed from the palm of his hand.

What is it? Thank you." Zhen Xing smiled and picked up the box. She opened it and looked at it. It turned out to be a box of rouge.

Qi Bosong smiled and said, "Although it is not as good as the palace, I heard that this shop is the best rouge shop in Yili. You use it first, and I'll buy it for you when it's good.

Zhen Xing nodded with a smile, and her face turned slightly red, which was more charming than the color of the rouge cream. She touched the rouge of the box in her hand, and there was an indescribable warmth in her heart.

About a week later, Zhenxing's food was finally sold out. The only thing that made them feel frustrated was that they didn't have enough experience and preparation to sell vegetables for the first time. After a few days of busyness, they found that one or two thousand catties of cabbage had been stolen out of thin air, which made them suffer some losses. Although the loss was not great, Zhen Xing thought that since she had done something wrong, she should seriously reflect on it.

After the autumn harvest, Zhenxing and Qi Bosong lived at home. Zhenxing originally wanted to do some business. After thinking about it, she couldn't do the business of pickles and teahouses, and she didn't have a good idea. She simply rested at home for a few days.

Qi Bosong began to discuss with Zhen Xing. It turned out that when he arrived in Ili, he heard that a horse team was going to go to southern Xinjiang, pulling some local daily necessities to southern Xinjiang, and pulling back the local needs from the southern Xinjiang.

Zhen Xing was attracted by this kind of trading company-like business. Qi Bosong made up his mind several times and worried that Zhen Xing was not safe at home alone, so he dispelled his idea.

The weather gradually became colder. Zhen Xing had nothing to do for a few days. She and Qi Boxong added a few autumn and winter clothes. The two of them were idle at home and had nothing to do, which made Zhen Xing very uncomfortable.

One day, Zhen Xing suddenly remembered that she used to play the game of Fight the Landlord several times. She has been idle these days. Is it okay for her to play a few rounds with Qi Bosong?

Just do it. Zhenxing cut it into pieces of paper of equal size with the thick cardboard she picked up, and wrote "one, two, three..." and other numbers on the paper with a brush. It was even painted with squares, plum blossoms, etc. on the top. Use an ink pen to make it solid, that is, the black square array, and vice versa, the red square matrix.

Qi Bosong watched Zhen Xing do these strange things while practicing calligraphy. He thought to himself that when the farmer was idle, he had to do some small business to make money.

"Okay." Zhen Xing said. Qi Boxong put down his pen and suddenly seemed to think of something. He said to Zhenxing, "Why don't you think I'll be a teacher for a few days?"

Zhen Xing stared at him with wide eyes. Since she opened a teahouse, Qi Boxong seems to be a different person and is positive about life. He wants to try everything that makes money.

"Are you from the imperial examination?" Zhen Xing asked curiously.

"This... However, I once studied in Guozi. The emperor's grace and became a bodyguard, so I didn't have a chance to take the imperial examination." Qi Bosong said.
