Qian Shi didn't want to take too much risk, but she didn't take no risk at all. She weighed it and finally decided to spend the money to buy a scooter.
Because the family lacks this, and after Zimanbao went to school, she has more and more opportunities to go out. It is more convenient to have a scooter at home. Even if this business cannot continue, the scooter can continue to be used, which is not a loss.
But she was not very willing to buy a big kettle, she said: "I have a big kettle to boil water at home, and there is a smaller one, and I have everything for stewing and cooking. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy another one when I don't need it later?"
She said: "A big pot costs more than three hundred yuan. If the business is like today, it's fine, but what if it's not like it?"
Zhou Zhoulang asked distressedly, "Then what do you think we should do? Erya and I can't do it empty-handed, can we?"
Mrs. Qian thought for a while and said: "This business can't be done in a day, you have to go to see the place first, and also say hello to the officials over there, so that you can go to your uncle's house in the morning Take a trip, ask him to borrow a big cauldron, bring two catties of meat, and say to borrow it for two months, and then tell your second uncle, and trouble him to take care of your uncle's household hot water in these two months."
Qian made careful calculations, "There are a lot of pots and pans at home, if you bring more, they can be set on the fire."
Tuesday Lang agreed happily, as long as there is a way for him to start this business, he doesn't really want to spend money.
Man Bao felt that this was too troublesome, so he discussed it with the fifth brother, "It's so troublesome, why don't we take the money to buy it for the second brother, it's better to buy two kettles, one big and one small, the small one can stew vegetables, and the big one Make soup."
Wu Wulang looked at her, silently turned his back and ignored her.
Man Bao insisted on sitting in front of him, and Wu Wulang covered the bag and said, "Don't think about it, mother said, it's a waste, if we don't do this business in the future, won't things be useless?"
"Sell it when it's useless." Man Bao said as a matter of course: "It's like a new one after it's cleaned."
Wu Wulang looked at her with an expression of looking at a fool, "Whoever's family's kettle is not used once, it will be used for a lifetime. Some people use it carefully, and it is passed down from father to father. Who would use the kettle at home? Sell it, even if you sell it, others won’t buy it.”
Man Bao didn't believe it, "If this is the case, how can the people who make the cauldron live?"
Wu Wulang choked, and then said arrogantly: "I don't care, I don't pay anyway."
"Fifth Brother, what do you want so much money for?"
Wu Wulang blushed, looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered to Man Bao, "I want to save money to marry a wife."
Man Bao looked at Wu Lang in astonishment, scratched his little head and asked, "Fifth brother, do you want to marry a wife?"
"That's not true, but isn't that what you said? People have to think in the long term. I thought about it. The longer term for me is to marry a wife, and the longer term is to have a baby. Both the eldest brother and the second brother said that the family is now I'm poor, and although the fourth brother made a mistake and his parents will punish him, it's impossible not to marry him a wife." Zhou Wulang took his brothers' words to heart, and whispered to Man Bao: "Fourth brother If you want to talk about a relationship, it is impossible to be less than five taels of silver, his reputation is not good now, I heard the second sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law say that if there is no eight taels of silver, I am afraid that the fourth brother cannot be called a good girl."
Zhou Wulang broke his fingers and said: "So much money, with so many people in our family, we have to save it for at least two or three years if there is no disease or disaster. When you get married, you have to build a house."
He said: "I reckon that if the family builds a house, it must be built together with my share and that of the sixth son. Seven or eight years later."
Man Bao also counted with his fingers, deeply convinced.
Wu Wulang continued: "And seven or eight years later, I will be over twenty, alas, when I reach that age, the people and children who play with me will be able to fight jealously. You have to get high."
Man Bao was full of surprise.
"I was delayed, and the sixth child was also delayed. Our family is like this, one delays two, two delays three, how many years will it take to survive?" Zhou Wulang looked worried, "I reckon that the family members are not seriously ill. In a catastrophe, the fourth brother will not gamble anymore, it will take twelve years. But after twelve years, everyone will be 21, and the eldest girl will be 20, should they marry a daughter-in-law, or marry someone?"
Man Bao's eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God!!!" Keke, what Fifth Brother said must not be true.
After doing the calculations, the system said: "Your fifth brother's calculations are really good. If you rely on the average income of the host's family for the past three years to calculate, he is right."
"Is this the butterfly effect you mentioned? Just because my fourth brother lost a bet once, my family can't get up for the rest of their lives?"
"Host, don't forget that you are the second smartest person within a hundred miles. Now that the child is learning knowledge, you still have me. Your future is immeasurable, and at the same time, your family is also immeasurable."
Man Bao's focus is different, she said dissatisfied: "Isn't it the smartest in a hundred miles around? Why is it the second smartest?"
Keke coughed slightly onomatopoeia, and said, "Because Bai Shan is here."
Man Bao pouted, a little unhappy in his heart, so after Thursday Lang happily returned from work at Bai's house, Man Bao began to instruct him to do the work, saying that the yard was dirty and asked him to clean it, and another time that she wanted to clean it. Take a bath, ask him to fetch water, and then say you want to ride your neck...
Zhou Zhoulang was obedient in front, after all, he didn't notice it, but he soon realized that something was wrong, and put down the wooden barrel unhappily: "Man Bao, are you deliberately torturing your fourth brother? I don't know that I have worked all day Tired."
Man Bao snorted at him and said, "I've been working too, and I'm tired too. I earn more money than you. When will you pay back the money you owe to the family?"
Zhou Zhoulang choked, picked her up and put her on his neck, and shouted: "Okay, little ancestor, where are you going, point!"
Man Bao looked down at the yard and the road outside, immediately became happy, grabbed his hand with one hand, pointed forward with the other, and said proudly: "Ahead, I want to go out to play, drive!"
Old Zhou Tou glanced at his daughter, and asked Wu Wulang, "Will Minger Manbao go with you?"
Wu Wulang still hoped that Man Bao would go there, even if she didn't dare to go there, he would feel much more at ease squatting there, so he nodded repeatedly.
Old Zhou asked, "Has her article been written?"
How did Zhou Wulang know, anyway, he didn't see the third child take a pen today, he said with some guilt: "It should be soon."
Old Zhou Tou said: "Then I will go another day tomorrow, and stay at home the day after tomorrow to write articles. What's the matter with scholars always running out
