Besides, the cost of going to school is so high, and it is not easy for her to pay for both of them at home.
She, the person who pays them, knows how much money He and Liu Bai have in their hands. She is still far from being able to support Jinbao in school.
Everyone no longer talked about the Ding family's studies, but Old Man Liu had a slightly different view on Qin Yao's decision to buy a horse.
Qin Yao was happy to listen to the old man's opinion and asked Old Man Liu to speak directly and listen carefully.
Old man Liu said: "I did a rough calculation and found that it would be uneconomical for you to buy this horse."
“First of all, Da Lang is only about ten years old this year, and Er Lang is eight years old. He is still a child. He rides to and from school by himself. What if someone is watching and the horse is stolen?”
“This is pretty good, but what if it hurts the child?”
“By the way, bring over your tables, chairs, benches, and bowls. They will be washed and sent back to you when the time comes.”
But there usually won't be any leftover. The people in the village are very powerful in fighting and can even lick the bottom of the bowl clean for you.
"Don't worry, I won't break or lose your things." He assured with a smile.
Not counting the time when the family moved into a new house, it was just a simple meal for a few people at the table. How could it be called a banquet?
The academy will start school on the 15th day of the month, and the first exam will be held in February. The time is so tight, it is exciting to think about it.
For example, she would take him to Xiahe Village by herself, and then hand over the young man and son to the driver to take him to Jinshi Town to study. This greatly ensured the safety of the two children and also saved a lot of money.
The main meal on the second day is from morning to night.
However, no matter how you calculate these, it is not as cost-effective as living directly in the town.
Having said that, I did feel something was wrong in my heart.
In the evening, there is the last meal, which is similar to the main meal, but with a few missing dishes. The main thing is to eat up all the remaining dishes.
Everyone was laughing and joking all the way, and time passed by unconsciously.
Old man Liu is still thinking about Qin Yao's talk about buying land. He is really worried that she will spend all the money now and have no money to buy the land.
Liu Zhong had never seen such a third child before. Watching him calmly communicating with officials and greeting familiar people along the way, he never closed his mouth in surprise.
But it happened that her family had no property and no land at all, which made Old Man Liu worried when he thought about it.
Qin Yao has never attended other people's dinner parties, so she was very interested and agreed.
Either two taels of silver a month, one tael of silver can last for five months. If the horse money is converted into carriage fare, it can last until the coachman goes bankrupt!
Let's have a banquet. Liu Ji couldn't help but swallowed. He couldn't remember the last time he had a serious banquet.
"Ah, I made a mistake. Madam, how could you be bullied? I'm also worried that you won't be able to think about going to the town to buy land. It's a good idea, but let's not think about it next time." Liu Ji said coquettishly. coaxed.
The real banquet needs to be eaten for two consecutive days, and the banquet is prepared on the first day, so a table is opened in the evening for those who come to help with the work.
“The fields are the most important thing!” Old Man Liu reminded again.
If your family has property, this money will be enough for most of your life.
A few children playing in the carriage heard the adults talking outside and stopped to listen quietly to the adults.
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not appropriate for us to go. It's really not appropriate. If you really want to move, just wait until I get the honors." Otherwise, life would not be easy if they went.
Fortunately, Liu Zhong said it would be held on the 12th, so we could still have this full moon meal.
"It's better that you go to Xiahe Village to pick them up every day and ask the coachman to take them to the town. Anyway, the coachman runs every day. If you give him one or two hundred coins every month, wouldn't it be more cost-effective and safer than letting them ride their own horses?"
Neither Mr. Liu nor Mr. He often come to the county town. The last time they came to the county town was six or seven years ago.
He asked Qin Yao to come and help. Of course, she would be able to do things like holding a spoon and folding vegetables, but they didn't expect her to actually be able to go into the kitchen and swing a large spoon.
For the main banquet at noon, eight dishes are served under ordinary conditions. For better conditions, they are served from 12 to 16 dishes. There are meat and vegetables, wine, pastries and candies. You can eat whatever you want.
Although it is troublesome to run back and forth, the money saved is real.
Qin Yao glanced at him, are you quite proud?
Liu Ji sensed the danger and quickly walked a few steps to stand side by side with Liu Zhong, asking him what he planned to do with the full moon wine and see if he would have time to drink the wine.
After all, there aren't many land-selling **** like him in the town!
"If we go to the town, we will be helpless, and I am not at home on weekdays. You mothers must not be bullied to death. Don't go, don't go. Isn't it good in the village? We are all familiar with each other, and everyone Be polite."
Old man Liu sighed, "Secondly, a short horse costs about twenty taels. This money can buy a good-headed cattle and save four or five taels."
Looking at Qin Yao's eagerness to try, Liu Ji didn't stop him. He thought that you should try it yourself and see if you can buy the land.
As soon as he raised his eyes, the county gate appeared in front of him, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Qin Yao sneered: "Am I being bullied to death by others?"
It was not easy to buy in Liujiacun, but it was even harder to buy in Jinshi Town!
Everyone in the old house can calculate small figures, but if the amount is large, such as the income of Qinyao Water Mill last year, they can't calculate it. They can only guess a ballpark figure, such as five or sixty taels, seven or eighty taels, etc. .
Qin Yao murmured, "How about going to the town to buy land?"
And it doesn't necessarily cost two yuan. The monthly subscription price is definitely different from the annual subscription price. She can lower the price.
“It would be more appropriate to wait until the two of them are older before buying a horse.”
Liu Ji was shocked when he heard this, and quickly whispered to dissuade him.
The most important thing is that you don't have to worry about safety, and you don't have to worry about riding a bullock cart in windy or rainy weather.
Liu Ji received Qin Yao's order and led the whole family all the way forward, accepted inspections by officers and soldiers, paid entry fees and parking fees, and led the whole family into the city smoothly.
Qin Yao nodded, she thought what Old Man Liu said made sense.
Qin Yao frowned and said, "The horse bandits have been eliminated. I know people in Xiahe Village and Jinshi Town. Should everything be fine?"
That means asking Qin Yao to come over and help wash the dishes, wipe the dishes on the table and so on.
Eat Xi porridge in the morning, a kind of porridge cooked with fried rice, with various things in it, such as soybeans, vegetables, minced meat, all mixed together, it is called a fragrant one.
How could Qin Yao not know that moving was not that easy? But seeing Liu Ji's panicked and guilty look, she couldn't help but want to tease him again and asked deliberately:
“Since the idea is good, why can't it be thought of next time?”
After entering the city, the talkative Mr. He also became quiet and seemed a little reserved.
Qin Yao dragged her and told her where she was, what the shop sold, where to buy cattle and horses, and where to buy vegetables and meat.
After getting a little familiar, He slowly relaxed and was attracted by the lively streets in the city.
