Lady Fang sliced the bamboo shoots, added a couple of mushrooms, and stir-fried everything together.
As the aroma wafted out, several people couldn’t help inhaling and slling it.
As the dish was ready to be served, Pei Wenbo was seen peeking around the corner of the wall.
San Ya brought the dish into the house; followed by Si Ya carrying cornbread, with Lady Fang and Pei Qin bringing noodle soup at the rear.
Pei Wendong picked up his chopsticks and ca inside to eat.
Pei Wenbo snorted angrily and went back to complain that they were stir-frying at, “The sll of the at can be slled all the way over here in the yard!”
Despite separating so mbers from the second room, the household hadn’t lost any silver coin or food.
But since Pei Wenli would be participating in the spring examinations after the New Year, and they just had at a few days ago, as well as having eaten bamboo rat at recently, it was impossible to have at again.
Lady Zhu counted the eggs in her head and said to him, “Tomorrow after your father has rested, you should also go up the mountain to hunt!”
Pei Wenbo was pleased to hear this and begged Pei Houli to also go up the mountain to catch bamboo rats, wild pheasants, wild rabbits, and he listed a whole array of ga.
“Don’t eat that rat at anymore; if you really get sick, where will we get the money to treat it!
I don’t have ti to rest these days either!” Pei Houli didn’t indulge him.
“Isn’t the work you took on almost finished?” Lady Chen was also craving at, especially after hearing Lady Fang and Mother Peiqin was eating at; it made her even more eager.
Why should Fang Rong, that wretched woman, and her brood have the luxury of eating at, while they couldn’t even have any?
Upon hearing this, Pei Houli frowned, “The work I’ve taken on should be finished soon, but I’m thinking of making sothing else to sell.
Recently I heard about a tool that makes threading corn simpler, and I’m thinking of buying one to make and sell.”
“What kind of tool?
Can it make money?” Lady Zhu asked eagerly.
“It can bring in quite a bit of money; many families have already bought it.” That’s why Pei Houli wanted to quickly learn how to make it to sell, “That thing is quite easy to make, I should quickly learn and make so to sell before soone else gets ahead.”
When it ca to earning money or getting at, Lady Zhu, of course, chose to earn money.
Her eldest grandson would soon be taking the exams, and that damned little wretch, Pei Qin, had ruined the match with Qian Dog’s family.
Without that money, of course, they needed to earn more from other sources.
After eating, Pei Qin headed out to town.
Si Ya knew she was going to Sun Tiezhu’s house to collect money and wanted to accompany her.
Just a mont of inattention and Pei Qin could spend all the silver; she had to keep an eye on her!
“You and mother go up the mountain to gather firewood, gather enough for today and tomorrow.
I’ll go chopping again tomorrow,” Pei Qin wasn’t bothered by the little tail following her, but Si Ya’s words weren’t to her liking at all!
“You just want to take the money and spend it!
I have to follow you!” Si Ya’s little face was drawn tight.
Pei Qin rolled her eyes, “You think you can still control ?”
Seeing her take up the air of the eldest sister, Si Ya’s face tightened even more, “If you didn’t spend the money recklessly, who would need to control you?”
“Money isn’t saved; it’s spent and then earned back,” Pei Qin patted her head, “You should wash your hair.
And by the way, don’t forget about the firewood!” With that, she walked away.
Si Ya stomped her foot angrily, “Doesn’t washing hair use up firewood, use up water!?”
When Pei Qin reached the town and crossed the bridge, she turned a few corners in the alleys and went directly to Sun Tiezhu’s house.
Only Grandma Sun and Lady Zou, who was pregnant, were there, polishing tools.
They warmly welcod her inside, with Grandma Sun telling her how well the tools were selling, “…these past few days, we’ve already sold more than six hundred.
Thanks to your suggestion, all were sold to the landlord’s family; I guess it won’t be long before they are all gone!”
Lady Zou asked, “You’re here to collect money, right?
As soon as Tie Zhu sold the tools, he ntioned giving it to you first!
We’ll take the rest to pay off debts once they’re sold!”
