"That's right. I've taken home a lot of money recently. It's enough to buy rice and grain, and I can save some money."
No wonder the straw sandals were so worn out, because the work was so tiring and hard. Guan Chibei recently went hunting and brought things home every day. He ate well, which in turn supplemented the strength of the housekeeper's men.
How wonderful.
However, after listening to the two sisters-in-law chatting for a few words, Ye Lulu thought thoughtfully on her face. In fact, it is time for her family to think of some ways to make money. Farmers can only find ways to make money by doing coolies and going to work. The means of making money by doing part-time jobs in the city are actually very limited.
She had just given birth before and was still very weak due to overdraft. She did not have the energy to distract herself from thinking about these things, but now, it seemed that she had to think about improving the housekeeper's living standard.
We can't continue to see the housekeeper as poor as ever. Although they can eat a few good meals thanks to Guan Chibei's hunting, Brother Guan and the others still have to go out and do hard work every day to earn money to maintain the family's rice.
In general, the housekeeper is still too poor to save even a few cents.
Guan eldest brother and the others go out to work as coolies. It consumes too much energy, and the rewards are very small. It is really not worth it, and it is not a long-term business at all.
Ye Lulu planned in her mind all day long, and at night, she called Guan Chibei into the house.
Guan Chibei, still wearing a brown coarse shirt, with a slim figure and a handsome face, walked in and looked at her with a dull expression.
I wonder why she asked him to come in
Ye Lulu leaned half back and said: "I called you because I have something to tell you. You have been working in the city for more than half a year, right? Is there a big dock in the city? I remember Yuancheng is famous The water transport transportation area... I want to know how big the dock is, how many people there are every day, what is the daily life of city people, and how does it compare with us?"
Since you want to find some livelihood, you must understand the objective conditions clearly.
Guan Chibei raised his eyebrows and his eyes darkened slightly. He didn't know why she asked these questions. He looked at her and replied: "Yancheng Pier is indeed not small. All the ships that come and go are large cargo ships. Because the shipping is smooth and the goods are Prosperity, the development of Yuancheng at the foot of Shanxia is quite good, but the people in the city also spend a lot of money. If an average person wants to buy food for a day, it will cost about twenty or thirty copper coins. It will be much cheaper if you make it at home, but except for rice There will also be two or three grains and vegetables, and the cost is about the same as eating out."
Ye Lulu was a little surprised, but not surprised, because a city with developed shipping would definitely be prosperous, and its commerce would be relatively prosperous, so it wouldn't be bad.
The caretaker brother and the others, who are extremely ordinary people from the mountain village, can easily find jobs when they go out to the city, which shows that Yuancheng is active.
And she still vaguely remembered that the morning after the birth, Brother Guan and the others talked outside the thatched house to see if they could get steamed buns while doing coolies...
Being able to get steamed buns also means that the environment in the city is probably very good, which is very different from the village.
No wonder, many of the stronger men in Yunwu Village, like Brother Guan and others, went out to work to maintain their daily lives.
There is no land to grow food in the mountains, so every household basically only has a little vegetable plot that is watered all year round, and can grow some vegetables. But food cannot be grown.
It's the autumn harvest time now, but Ye Lulun didn't see the housekeeper busy, that's why.
