《Apocalypse in Ancient Life》Chapter 35
Advertisement
When there were still four or five days before the Chinese New Year, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao returned the stall to the village, ended the small business at the roadside stall, and prepared to go home for the Chinese New Year.
Linjiang Village rarely snows in winter, but no snow does not mean it is not cold. On the contrary, the temperature in Linjiang Village is very cold in winter.
Before Pei Shaorong planned to cultivate fruit seedlings, it would not work at all in this weather, but it was not difficult for Pei Shaorong who came from modern times.
As a well-informed person who has experienced the end of the world, can Pei Shaorong still forget such a good thing as a greenhouse?
Modern glass greenhouses can't be made, but a small greenhouse can still be used. I burned so much charcoal to make preserved fruits before, but now I can use it.
As soon as the greenhouse was set up, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao began to eat all kinds of modern fruits every day, just to save the seeds for seedlings.
When the Chinese New Year was approaching, some of the seeds that Pei Shaorong cultivated died, but some of them still successfully grew seedlings.
When they got home and closed the door, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao piled all the money they made during this time on the table and began to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Don't look at the size of this business, small business can sometimes make a lot of money, and the two of them are staring at the copper coins and silver on the table.
"Brother Pei, I've never seen so much silver in my life!" Mo Xiaobao happily hugged Pei Shaorong's arm and shook it, "Pinch my face, am I dreaming?"
Mo Xiaobao couldn't be happier, No matter the amount of copper coins and silver on the table, it was an incredible astronomical amount for him, who had never had more than ten coins in his hand before.
The two were locked in the house and quietly counted their income during this period. First, let's talk about dry nuts. The price of walnuts is 15 yuan, pine nuts are 12 yuan, and chestnuts are 10 yuan. 4 taels of silver.
Hotpot and tea eggs make more money. Hotpot Chuanchuan looks cheap, but there is a lot of traffic in the town this New Year, and it can sell at least 400 yuan on average every day.
Tea eggs are sold for three cents a day, and they can sell twenty or thirty pieces a day, with an income of about 70 cents. They set up a stall in the town for 30 days, a whole month.
It is calculated that all the income of this month's hot pot skewers and tea eggs is about 10 taels of silver, plus the dry goods earned, minus the cost of capital, the net profit is about ten taels of silver!
Does that sound like a lot? But you must know that the income of the people in this village can't reach that much in a year. This is only the profit of a month's small business. If you go out, the jaws of the villagers will be shocked!
And when he asked Aunt Qin and Brother Lin to help, he made a lot of money selling skewers in the town.

This feeling is like the difference between a few thousand yuan and a hundred thousand yuan in a month's salary. It is not a concept at all. After listening to Pei Shaorong's calculation report, Mo Xiaobao felt that he was about to faint.
His family's current savings has reached more than 70 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a well-off family in the village.
"Hahaha, Brother Pei, let's make money, make money, and I don't know how to spend the money! A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat baby in the middle, hahaha..."
Mo Xiaobao was in the room He jumped up and down and sang a money-making song that Pei Shaorong didn't know when to read. The small appearance made Pei Shaorong laugh again. He really married a living treasure and went home.
"A Bao, we have chickens and ducks. As for the fat baby, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades need to work hard, hahaha!"
Pei Shaorong was so happy that he couldn't stop. The feeling of sharing money with someone he liked made him unable to stop at all.
Taking advantage of the fact that his family made a lot of money a few years ago, Aunt Qin, Brother Lin's family, and Father Mo also made some money. After listening to Pei Shaorong's words, the family didn't sell peanuts, and they sold all the garlic peanuts. .
A pound of peanuts sold fresh may only cost 67 cents a pound, but a pound of garlic can be sold for 10 cents a pound. Every household in their family has at least a few hundred catties of peanuts. I made a few bucks before.
After calculating the amount of money that the three families put on consignment, Pei Shaorong gave it to others, and by the way, he promised to help Aunt Qin and Lin Ge'er's family. Everyone is very happy!
When Father Mo got the money, he counted his face carefully and smiled, secretly thinking that his brother-in-law looked honest, and his head was still very good. This peanut, which only earned one or two silvers, now earns two or two silvers. Could he be unhappy.
Happy to have the money, Father Mo enthusiastically brought them a bowl of dumplings. This is a rare thing. The sun is coming out of the west? When did Father Mo become so generous?
Not to mention that Pei Shaorong was surprised, even Mo Xiaobao, who knew Father Mo the most, was also surprised. Is he his stubborn father?
"Father, if you have something to say, just tell me. Big brother Pei and I are in a panic..." Mo Xiaobao couldn't help staring at Father Mo.
The question made Father Mo a little blush, and he secretly scolded Mo Xiaobao for not giving him this father's face, glared at Mo Xiaobao and said, "What do you mean by that, you are not comfortable with your father being nice to you? "
"No..." It's not uncomfortable, it's very uncomfortable!
Mo Xiaobao thought silently in his heart, Dad, you have such a stubborn temperament, I am your little brother, don't you know? I remember that when you were a child, you sent a basket of eggs to the village chief's house, and the village chief died within two days. I cried and sent two old hens back to our family...

Pei Shaorong had seen the way of getting along and talking between Mo Xiaobao and Father Mo, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Too lazy to quarrel with Mo Xiaobao, Father Mo set his sights on Pei Shaorong, just like Mo Xiaobao knew him, he also knew Mo Xiaobao, his little brother is so tough, he has been like this since he was a child!
Putting away his mood, Father Mo smiled at Pei Shaorong with extra attention, "I said second brother-in-law, it's like this, I think your hot pot business is a good way this month, your soup recipe, Can you take a look at me, you see, we are both brothers-in-law and husband-in-law, and we are not outsiders..."
Pei Shaorong's hot pot business is not known to others, but Father Mo often goes to his shack to eat and drink. But it is clear.
The money that was drilled into Pei Shaorong's pocket every day just dazzled his eyes. Father Mo was an iron rooster who loved money. The most important thing was that his eldest son-in-law was going to take the exam in Beijing after the Chinese New Year's Lantern Festival.
In order to help Sun Yaocai get the money to travel to Beijing in the last period of time, Father Mo was heartbroken. He sold everything that the family could sell. Just this time!
"I said that my good brother-in-law is not my greed for your recipe. Let me tell you, A Bao's brother-in-law is going to take the exam soon, the travel expenses are enough, but the money is still short... "..."
"You're not a scholar and don't understand. Whether you can get into the test depends not only on your true talents, but also on your relationship. If A Bao and his brother-in-law really pass the exam, we will all be wiped out..."
"A Bao's family, I said that your hot pot recipe is a good treasure. Let's take it to the town and sell it to help A Bao's brother-in-law take the exam. You are also relatives to us now. "
Cough, cough..."
Just as Father Mo finished speaking, Pei Shaorong was choked by the saliva from the 'we chickens and dogs' and coughed.
Taking a breath, Pei Shaorong looked at the eagerly looking forward Father Mo and said with a light smile, "Father-in-law, that, you should call me Pei's family, or call me by my name, as for the hot pot recipe, I'm afraid I can't give it to you... "..."
My brother-in-law felt awkward when he heard it, and with a second brother-in-law, Pei Shaorong was not used to it.
"Why?"
Father Mo said anxiously, "A Bao's family, I know that recipe must be your family heirloom, but didn't I tell you, let's help A Bao's brother-in-law together, when the time comes Let's develop together, you can't make money with that recipe, I'm your husband-in-law, I won't hurt you..."
"Father Mo, let me tell you the truth, I don't have a recipe for this hot pot base. I bought this from a passing caravan when I was wandering abroad, and I didn't point to him to make a fortune..."
In fact, Pei Shaorong also guessed that Father Mo wanted to make his own hot pot ingredients, except for Mr. Mo. Dad, many people in the village are starting to pay attention to themselves.
During this period of time, how good his business was, everyone in the town could see it coming and going, it must be enviable.
But he really doesn't have the hot pot ingredients, and he wouldn't take it out even if he had it. It's his business that Father Mo wants to fund his eldest son-in-law's exam, but he has nothing to do with Pei Shaorong and that Sun Yaocai. , why should he help.
Could it be because of the Mo family's relationship? If so, is he going to arrange and support all the relatives of the Mo family as ancestors?
The fact that Sun Yao will not develop has nothing to do with him, and he is not uncommon to be in the light of others.
Just as the eldest daughter of the Mo family and this brother-in-law of Sun Yaocai didn't come to the wedding, and they didn't take the time to watch it for so long, and cared about his family's Abao, Pei Shaorong had long regarded the two as strangers. .
It is said that relying on mountains and mountains to fall, relying on water and water, and relying on everyone to run, it is best to rely on yourself for everything!
"Father Mo, I'm sorry, there is really no recipe for this. If you want, I will definitely give it to you. By the way, I really thank Father Mo for the dumplings. It smells really good..."
Pei Shaorong refused with a smile, holding the dumplings from Father Mo and smelling it. When I heard it, I learned the praise from Father Mo who rubbed himself to eat and drink a few days ago.
The half-smile but not the smile made Father Mo feel a little sullen for some reason. He always felt that every time he talked to this brother-in-law, he would be punching in cotton.... He
went home with fragrant dumplings, Pei Shaorong He and Mo Xiaobao were too lazy to cook their own meals, so they ate a few delicious modern snacks from the space with Daddy Mo's dumplings.
Thinking of Father Mo's enthusiasm for subsidizing his eldest son-in-law, Pei Shaorong couldn't help but said to Mo Xiaobao,
"A Bao, you said that your father gave your brother-in-law money for the exam, isn't he afraid that your brother-in-law will cross the river and demolish the bridge to pay off the debt? ?"
This kind of selfless dedication is really unbelievable for Father Mo, he just believed that his eldest son-in-law made a fortune and let him take advantage of it? How can there be such a good thing in the world...
Mo Xiaobao, who was eating dessert after dinner, raised his head, smiled at Pei Shaorong, and whispered in Pei Shaorong's ear,
"Brother Pei, don't worry about anyone. Worrying about my father's loss, let me tell you, in the jar under my father's bed, all the IOUs that my brother-in-law put in their fingerprints, I've seen them all, so I'm not afraid that my brother-in-law's house will default on the debt..."
"..."
Pei Shaorong's face froze. Come on, he was really worrying about it, just Father Mo's stubborn iron cock, it's really none of his business to suffer!
