Zhou Zhou Lang said: "Uncle, in the county town, it costs 1,200 Wen to exchange copper plates for silver, and some silver is of good quality, and it costs 1,300 Wen to exchange for one tael."
Uncle Qian also used to hang out in casinos, so he understood it as soon as he heard it. He sighed and exclaimed: "I remember a long time ago, in the county town, copper coins were exchanged for silver, and nine hundred cash could be exchanged. I didn't expect that copper coins are now It's so worthless."
Uncle Qian stretched out his hand to touch the shoulder pole. Uncle Qian became excited when he saw it, and quickly jumped aside and shouted: "Brother, brother, I know I was wrong, I just said that, just said that."
Uncle Qian snorted coldly.
Uncle Qian sweated and hid behind Man Bao, but unfortunately he was too wide for Man Bao to cover him. Uncle Qian smiled flatteringly at Old Zhou, "Brother-in-law, then look..."
Old Zhou Tou said: "You have to cut the silver coins. I also have copper coins here. Man Bao, first count your uncle's and your second uncle's."
Man Bao did the math for a long time, checked it again, and said: "Second uncle's is 12,150 Wen, which is ten taels in silver, leaving 150 Wen; Uncle's is 16,000 Wen." Nine hundred wen, if converted into silver, it would be fourteen taels, leaving a hundred wen.”
Uncle Qian laughed until his eyes narrowed.
Uncle Qian couldn't help panting, "Brother, your family has picked enough wheat seeds. If I had known, I would have asked the child's mother to come with me."
Uncle Qian glanced at him and said, "Who told you not to have more sons, we both have three sons."
"Is that something I can live if I want to?"
Old Zhou Tou couldn't help but help the second uncle, "Third brother, didn't you say that you have to spend money to marry a wife if you have too many sons, why don't you give birth?"
Obviously, everyone knows about this matter. Zhou Dalang and other juniors turned their heads and couldn't bear to look directly at them. Even Man Bao couldn't help nodding, and took Qian Sanjiu's hand and said, "Sanjiu, it's not too late to realize it now. Turn around and you Let your cousin treat your cousins better, let them give you more grandchildren, the same, the same."
"You are young, do you know what it means to have a grandson?"
"You know, my third sister-in-law and my fourth sister-in-law just gave me two nephews."
Of course Sanji Qian knew it, but the two children were busy in the spring, so they hadn't come to see it yet. They planned to come to see it during the Dragon Boat Festival and send a basket of eggs.
Two days ago, Sanjiu Qian was still worrying about the eggs at home. He felt that the eldest brother-in-law was too inconsiderate. How many eggs would he give away in this life just because of the addition of children
But now Sanjiu Qian's heart didn't hurt so much, and he didn't bother to swear at Man Bao anymore, and just looked at his brother-in-law with a smile.
Old Zhou Tou knew what he was doing, and he was not ambiguous, so he would share the money when he took it out.
Finally, a piece of silver was found, and the door slammed open. In fact, the sound was not very loud, but when everyone quieted down and focused on looking at the silver, the sound was extraordinarily loud.
As a result, Lao Zhou's heart trembled, his hands trembled, and he subconsciously clenched the money tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
The others were also startled. Looking back, they realized that it was Mrs. Qian and the others who had returned.
Qian looked at them in confusion, "...what are you guys doing together? I heard at Dayuan's house that Master Bai had left. His father, did you speak ill of me outside? Why..."
Qian's voice was only halfway through when he saw the money among the crowd, and lost his voice for a while.
The people behind her naturally saw it too. They hadn't seen the scene of selling wheat seeds, so when they suddenly saw so much money, no one thought it belonged to their family.
Until Lao Zhoutou divided the money.
Second Uncle Qian's share is the best, because what Master Bai brought was ten taels of silver, just give him ten taels, and then count out one hundred and fifty cash from the copper coins.
At Uncle Qian’s place, the old Zhou Tou directly gave him a piece of silver and a hundred Wen, and then took out another piece of money to worry about. He asked Uncle Qian and Uncle Qian, “Just cut it off?”
Uncle Qian nodded, but Third Uncle Qian shouted: "Don't, I know that this kind of whole ingot of silver is more expensive to change into loose silver, because loose silver has loss, brother-in-law, you give it to me, and I will get it later." You can change it in the county town, and you can give me a tael of loose silver."
Old Zhou didn't listen to him, and looked directly at Uncle Qian.
Uncle Qian nodded and said, "Don't listen to him, just cut it up. If it's too small, our family can just make it up."
Uncle Qian couldn't help calling: "Brother!"
Uncle Qian glanced at him and said: "Don't think I don't know, last time you said you went to the city to buy cloth, but ended up wandering outside the gambling house, and people in the village saw it. Let me tell you, this idea will pay you You can’t hold it either, let Da Lang hold it.”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to Third Uncle Qian's eldest son: "After you collect the money, your father won't ask, and you won't give it to your mother. After you go back, your brothers discussed to share it equally, or put it in the public house." Okay, you can save some wheat for the summer harvest in your family, if it doesn’t work, add some wheat bran.”
Uncle Qian directly arranged the money for the third room, "Don't cause trouble if you have a little money, think about the children in your family, they will start talking about marriage in a few years, marry a better one A son’s daughter-in-law will have to pay up to five taels of silver, and you have to prepare some dowry to marry a girl, right? The total is only seven taels of money, how much money can you two have left for a penny?”
The eldest son of the third room nodded in response. Uncle Qian was so angry that his nose was about to smoke, but his eyes turned to meet Uncle Qian's. His fingers hurt, and he shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Uncle Qian said: "If your mother asks later, she will say that the money was allocated by me."
The three brothers nodded.
Uncle Qian said to Old Zhou: "Cut it off."
Old Zhou called Man Bao over to draw a line. Man Bao glanced at the scissors they were holding and expressed doubts, "Father, can these scissors cut silver?"
"You have to try it. If it doesn't work, just put it on the cutting board and chop it with a knife." Their family is not a rich family, so of course they won't buy the scissors that specialize in cutting silver.
Man Bao finally understood why the silver would be depleted. She scratched her head and asked, "Don't we have silver ingots at home? Last year we sold ginger to the pharmacy, and the settlement came back with silver ingots, right?"
Uncle Qian and the two sons of Uncle Qian’s family said immediately, “Silver is good, silver is good, so we don’t have to cut it when we go back. If the scissors go down and the silver flakes fall, that’s all loss."
Uncle Qian was so angry that he pinched his waist and shouted: "So I asked you to go to the city to exchange silver pieces. One ingot can be exchanged for ten taels of silver pieces, not to mention some extra copper coins, do you know?"
