Views:

After sending off Yunweixuan's people, the door of the Su family was closed.

In the main room, Young Jin placed the silver he got today on the kang table, a full twenty-two taels of silver, which stunned everyone's eyes.

"It turns out that mandarin fish is so valuable!" Youzhu only felt so happy, and only a few days ago was sad that her family lost a fortune, but she didn't expect to earn back twenty taels of silver after only five or six days! After I was happy, I thought of the two mandarin fish I ate at home yesterday, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad: "Eldest sister, we really shouldn't have eaten those two fish last night, or we could get six more coins!"

Hearing what she said, the smile on You Jin's face gradually subsided, and she looked at You Zhu seriously and said, "You Zhu, why do we work so hard to earn money, don't you know? It's so that our family can eat enough. Eat well. We want to make money, but we can't put money more than our family, you know?"

The atmosphere that was originally ecstatic, suddenly became a little stagnant, and everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to make a sound.

Young Zhu's first reaction was to argue: "eldest sister, I'm not..." But before she could finish her words, Young Jin raised her hand to stop her: "Youzhu, among so many sisters in our family, you My temperament is the most like me, and it is also the most stubborn among the sisters, I know that you want to make money for the good of our family, but we make money for this family, right?" Xiaozhu pursed her lips, the eldest sister It's true.

"We've only made twenty taels of silver now, but for the sake of six dollars, you think we've done something wrong. How about we earn two hundred taels, two thousand taels, and twenty thousand taels in the future? , do you know?" You Jin touched the slightly dejected head: "Eldest sister said today that you don't want to blame you, but want you to become better. If you feel that Eldest sister is wrong, tell the elder sister. Sister, our family is only one point, and if you have any unhappiness in your heart, you should not hide it in your heart, good communication is an important prerequisite for maintaining a good relationship." I looked around a few small children: "You too, if there is something you can't figure out, don't understand. If you are happy, just say it and keep everything in your heart. In the future, the family will gradually leave the heart, and the family who is separated from the heart will become a mess, you know?"

A few children, including Youzhu, nodded after being taught: "Got it." He took the silver back into his purse, and told Youyin to help Su's cook, and then Youjin went back to the east wing to take care of the silver. closed up.

This child, Youzhu, is not a vengeful child, and she also knows that Youjin is talking about herself for her own good, so she does not resent Youjin in her heart, but in her later life, she always remembers Youjin. When Jin once said that his family should be the most important, when someone bullies his sisters, he is the best choice to follow Young Jin to seek justice for his family.

Selling mandarin fish earned back twenty taels of silver, which also gave Young Jin a way to make a fortune. There were no fishermen who specialized in raising fish in the Dafeng Dynasty. What if they could raise a batch of mandarin fish by themselves? Luohe Prefecture has well-developed land and waterways, and the Wuliqiao River has abundant water all year round. It is a good way to raise fish.

Of course, this is only the preliminary idea of Young Jin. After all, the investment in fish farming is more than a hundred taels, plus I have a limited understanding of fish farming. Now, whether it is human or material resources, it has not yet reached the most basic requirements. Therefore, this method of making money had to be put on hold for the time being, and then the preparations would be made when the money was enough.

Although he couldn't immediately dig a fish pond to raise fish, Youjin still thought of a way to make money: medicinal fish! She remembered that there was a herb called fenugreek. It was dried and ground into powder and sprinkled into water to stun the fish. After the medicine had worn off, it would not leave any toxins in the fish. Isn't this a good choice for her?

After the continuous spring rain has passed, it is already late March. Young Jin carried the basket on his back, stepped on the slippery and soft soil, and walked in the bamboo forest. Today, she came to the mountain to look for coriander flowers, but the coriander flowers were not found, but she found a lot of tea tree mushrooms that grew after the rain. The fresh tea tree mushroom was eaten with some lard suet, and it was very delicious. Youjin digged it when she saw it. When she came down from the mountain, she could not find a single daisy, but the tea tree mushroom had dug half a basket.

Young Zhu and Young Silver washed away the dirt on the roots of the tea tree mushroom, and asked, "Eldest sister, can this be exchanged for silver?" In Young Zhu's opinion, as long as it is something that can be eaten at home, it can be exchanged for money. But now, she will no longer fall into the eyes of money as she did before, and she is willing to give all the food that should be given to her family, which is considered a great improvement.

You Bao, who had just picked up a handful of tender green cabbage seedlings from the front of the yard, heard that the third sister was selling money again, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and "eat" and laugh: "Third sister!"

"What are you laughing at?" Youzhu rolled her eyes at her twin sister angrily: "If we can sell it for money, let's go up the mountain to pick it up together later, and don't you want the silver thrown on the ground for you?" Rough, but also reasonable.

Youjin nodded and agreed: "Youzhu is right. After lunch, we will go to the mountain together. If we dig it back and sell it, it's good for us to eat it by ourselves."

Seeing that the elder sister was also on her side, Youzhu straightened the small waist of the financial fan, and glanced proudly at her twin sister who was complaining about her just now: "Humph!" Youbao was not angry, but just covered his mouth to eat. smiling.

Seeing the cute appearances of the two younger sisters, You Jin was very relieved. Compared with the days in Yue's family before, the current days are simply too good. However, Xiaozhu's words reminded her of what she had been thinking about last night. The Su family was cowardly, and the only time she was strong in her life was to protect two newborn babies, and then reconcile with Yue Changlu.

But this resistance did not change Su's natural temperament. Now that several younger sisters are getting older, the children brought up by Su's temperament must be similar to her temperament. She can protect a few children for a while, But they can't protect them forever.

So the top priority is to raise the temperament of several girls to be tougher. After all, it is better to bully others than to bully yourself, right? The second is to teach the sisters some self-defense skills. After all, there are women in the family, so you can’t let outsiders bully you and can’t get back an argument; the third is to cultivate the sisters’ correct concept of money.

These three points are both urgent and long-term plans. The first thing you can start is to learn some self-defense fists and feet, one can strengthen the body, and the other can be self-defense. The Yue family sisters, who were still frolic in the yard, didn't realize that the eldest sister's claws had reached out to them, and they were still having fun!

In the afternoon, Young Jin took three big ones, each carrying a back basket, and holding tools such as sickles and hoes that might be useful, and went up the mountain.

The spring rain is like crispy, and the bamboo forest nourished by the spring rain is more green, and the bamboo shoots grow much taller overnight. In the bamboo forest, You Jin first took his three younger sisters to distinguish which mushrooms were edible, and then spread out to find them.

Most of the mushrooms growing in the bamboo forest are fresh tea tree mushrooms, and the young gold is also just in case, so I repeatedly emphasized to a few girls: "The brighter the color of the fungi, the more poisonous it is, we just pick the tea tree mushrooms. In addition, don't go too far, and go where others can see you, okay?"

The mountains behind Wuli Bridge are all 100 to 200-meter-long hills. Unlike Cuifeng Mountain, which is a continuous stretch of deep mountains and old forests, there are no traces of beasts. Therefore, Youjin is relatively relieved to let a few sisters follow up the mountain to pick tea tree mushrooms. .

Today is the first day of the spring rain, and there are still bamboo shoots in the village to sell in the city, but today they are busy going to the ground, and for a while in the whole bamboo forest, only the four sisters of the Su family are looking for traces of tea tree mushrooms. Coupled with the nourishment of the spring rain, tea tree mushrooms swaying slightly with the spring breeze can be seen almost everywhere. The sisters picked a large basket full of tea tree mushrooms within an hour.

Youjin also carried a few plump and beautiful spring bamboo shoots in his hand, and the four sisters returned with a reward in the spring breeze with the fragrance of bamboo.

Young Jin is a person who does what he says he does. That night, after dinner, he pulled the remaining six to the yard to start training except the two who were still babies.

Looking at the sisters who were lined up in a row with their hands behind their backs, Young Jin said slowly, "Starting today, let's learn some boxing and kick kung fu together. First, we can strengthen our body, and second, we can protect ourselves."

When I heard that I wanted to learn kung fu, the sisters were all stunned. The eldest sister would still do this? In fact, at the beginning, the Su family was also a little suspicious of why Young Jin always had strange things, but later he got used to it. However, when Su Shi, who was standing under the corridor with Xiao Shi who just woke up today, heard her daughter say that she wanted to practice martial arts, she was also stunned: "Jin'er, why do you know this?"

Yes yes yes! Why does the eldest sister still do this? Several little radishes all looked at the elder sister as if they were gods. Their elder sister is too powerful! Will make money again, but also martial arts!

You Jin coughed slightly, and made an excuse: "It's just that I saw a lot of performers at the market, and I will get a little bit more furnishing by pondering it myself." Seeing that everyone seemed to take it for granted, although Young Jin seemed to take it for granted. It felt a little strange, but I didn't say anything, and started practicing directly.

"First of all, the first thing we came to learn was Zama." Young Jin faced a few younger sisters and gave a standard Zama demonstration: "The strength starts from the ground, and the feet are shoulder-width apart."

Several younger sisters saw her pursing her lips and looked very serious, and they were inexplicably very awe-inspiring, and they all learned the movements of Young Jin, even the youngest Young Silk was like a small horse step. .

Although it looks like it, it is a little too much for a long time. In particular, Young Treasure, who was relatively weak, was a little shaken. Young Jin knew that haste is not enough, so he asked everyone to get up and rest for half an hour before continuing.

That night, the Su sisters all fell on the hard kang with sore arms and legs, and they all fell into a deep sleep after a while, snoring softly. After covering the quilts for a few younger sisters, she got up and checked the doors with the lanterns, before Young Jin took a rest.
