Chapter 213: Being clever turns out to be a mistake
The Liu family's old residence received a thousand catties, but Qin Yao didn't mention the transportation costs.
Old man Liu and Mrs. Zhang were grateful in their hearts and were not in a hurry to calculate the money. In the future, they would provide more help because these favors cannot be calculated clearly.
The shelled wheat in the city was sold for twelve cents a catty, and three taels of silver could buy a thousand catties. Everyone in the old house was very happy.
He and Qiu urgently packed up half of their house to store the grain.
But Qin Yao's 10,000 kilograms of grain had nowhere to put it.
At the moment, they can only cram as much as possible into their own bedrooms, and then build an additional warehouse when spring plowing is available.
Qin Yao exited the room and motioned for him to follow, and the two of them came to the main room.
Specially told that Qin Yao does not need to take care of the food, she only needs to prepare some meat for them, and they can cook it themselves when they go back.
The elder man led his younger brother and sister out of the shower room. When they passed the main room, they all walked quietly. They got into the room one by one and gently closed the door to block out the overwhelming resentment. Then they all let out a sigh of relief.
If you can't finish it yourself, the leftovers may be sold at a high price.
Liu Ji went back to the academy. He had to register in advance for the May examination and prepare various supporting documents. He also had to study in the rest of the time, and his schedule was full.
Everything was perfect, even if Liu Fei was confronted, it would be difficult to find any loopholes.
And seeing Liu Ji working so hard, they all had the illusion that he might really pass the exam.
In this way, the cattle can save some energy and the people can rest for a while.
By the way, I harvested many of them and kept them. I added handfuls to them from time to time, not wanting to tire them out.
It was getting dark and late. Dalang and Jinbao came back from school. If it was still early, they took the sickle, led the old cow, and took it up the mountain to graze.
This time Qin Yao only provided water to eight acres of land, and the other two acres were dry.
Even though he knew he was just going through the motions to earn some experience points, it was still a formal scientific examination. Liu Ji had great confidence in himself. What if he got lucky and passed the exam again?
Liu Ji stood up with a hum, blew out the oil lamp, and slammed the door of the hall.
The Liu family's old house is next to the couple. Life is getting better and better. This year, they even had cattle.
Because Qin Yao's side had finished plowing early, so there was no need to rush to return it, and there was no need to work so hard from morning to night.
The children at home are also in school, and the task of farming this year falls on Qin Yao alone.
How many high-end inns along the way can allow him to spend so much money!
Liu Ji called softly outside the door.
Why do two packages of pastries cost 120 yuan?
She could read at most forty articles, no more!
As well as the snooping fee, it was even more full of mistakes, and she didn't even want to expose it.
This is a good thing. Qin Yao, who has not eaten any fruit all year round, immediately decided to set aside two acres of land to grow this.
Two days ago, when she was sifting through grain seeds, she pulled out a gourd and opened it. It was filled with watermelon seeds. Then she remembered that she helped an **** agency on the road last year, and the **** gave her a jar of cold melon seeds.
Thirty taels of grain money was spent on grain, and three cents per catty of wheat was purchased. A total of 10,000 catties were purchased.
“You have to pay your own living expenses in March and April. Don't ask why, you know it yourself.”
She just didn't know whether the watermelon varieties at this time were good or not, so she was taking a gamble.
After explaining, Liu Ji took out his money bag and put it in front of her. He poured it out and counted it. It happened to be thirty copper coins.
When others saw it, they were envious and jealous, wondering why they didn't have such a capable brother?
“Mrs.?”
“Sleep.” Qin Yao stood up, threw the bill to him, took the remaining thirty coins, yawned and went back to the house to sleep.
If her guess is correct, Liu Jimei's money should be eight or nine hundred yuan.
As a result, there was too much movement. I noticed a figure shaking in the master bedroom, and another one rushed back, gently closing the gap that had been opened.
Why should he use the 890 coins that he had worked so hard to save as living expenses?
Why? !
He thought it was a good idea, but it was precisely because of this mysterious self-confidence that it gave him the motivation to take the initiative to study. He once again became the top student in the academy, which made Fan Xiucai and others itchy.
Two taels of travel expenses, six nights away from home, a total of 600 ren for accommodation, 400 ren for food, 120 ren for two packages of cakes, 850 ren for enquiry, and the remaining 30 ren.
As soon as she sat down, Liu Ji handed over a bill, spread it out and explained it to her item by item.
Liu Bai and Liu Zhong made a big promise to Qin Yao about this matter, and it was all covered by them.
But now that the grain is stocked up, Qin Yao can prepare for spring plowing with peace of mind.
The moment the money was given out, Qin Yao had already included this part in the budget. So now that I see this bill, I feel no fluctuation in my heart.
After all, scarcity is more valuable. I have never seen anyone selling watermelons in Kaiyang County.
Qin Yao weighed the remaining thirty coins and glanced at Liu Ji with a half-smile, which made his spine shiver and cold sweat break out on his forehead. Then he said:
In the evening, the two families had a sumptuous dinner cooked by Liu Ji at Qin Yao's house, and then they dispersed with smiles.
Luckily she bought oxen, and since there was little land, she was able to plow the field in two and a half days.
It rains continuously in March and can last for several days at a time, and the sky is always gloomy.
His living expenses in the academy for one month, including paper consumption, were almost three hundred cash. She only counted two months, and the rest was considered as hard work for him.
Liu Ji was left sitting alone on the small stool in the main room, his heart surging, his fists clenched, his cleverness was misunderstood, and he almost fainted from anger.
Qin Yao thought a little disappointed: Your dislike is so obvious.
It was a full three hundred penny in hard work, and no one could be more generous than her.
Qin Yao plowed the fields, and Liu Bai immediately borrowed the oxen.
It seems that even the chickens in the yard can feel the substantial black resentment above the main room, and their clucking sounds are muted, lest they get into trouble and be killed and eaten tomorrow.
Why does the accommodation fee cost 600 Wen?
Seeing the grain bags stacked up in the room, Qin Yao let out a breath and stroked her heart, feeling reassured and comfortable.
The cows owned by one's brother and the cows owned by the village chief have completely different feelings when used.
Qin Yao sent everyone out of the old house, watched them enter the village, locked the door, and walked around the several rooms in the house.
Qin Yao heard the crackling outside for a while, and it took a full quarter of an hour to calm down. She raised a scornful smile at the corner of her mouth, raised her hand and waved it out with the wind, extinguished the oil lamp on the table, covered herself with a thin quilt, and fell asleep beautifully.
Look at Liu Laosan and his wife, one is a prodigal son who has turned around and started reading, and the other is a brave and invincible man who makes money and kills thieves.
Si Niang and San Lang held their own books and homemade blank homework books, and caught Jin Hua to teach her how to read.
Golden Flower was used to being wild, and since she didn't go to school, she spent half of the day learning weaving skills from her mother, and the remaining half of the time helped with housework, and then went out to play with other children in the village. It was hard to hold her temper.
