Chen Xiaocai gnawed on the candied haws full of treasure, "Brother, you are rich!"
Chen Xiaocai put a fruit in his mouth, repeatedly savoring the sweet taste.
Candied haws are a bit expensive, and my eldest brother will only buy them when he makes a lot of money. Before, when my eldest brother beat a tiger, he would buy them for him and his younger brother.
Chen Xiaomi smiled and said, "It's a small fortune."
Chen Xiaocai asked with some joy: "Did the price of pork in the city go up?"
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Almost."
Chen Xiaomi calculated that it cost ten taels to buy Lu Lin, but it also saved three taels of tax money. The beads were sold for six taels of silver, only a difference of one tael.
No matter how you say it, Lu Lin is also a capable adult. After this guy came in, the food at home has improved a lot, and he has almost returned his capital, so he should still make some money.
Finding that there is still money to be made, Chen Xiaomi can't help being a little elated.
Seeing Chen Xiaomi's smile, Chen Xiaocai also became happy.
After his father passed away, Chen Xiaocai rarely saw Chen Xiaomi smile. Everyone in the village said that the eldest brother was rude and did not look like a brother, but Chen Xiaocai thought that the eldest brother was very good-looking.
"Brother, you can eat too." There were four hawthorns on a candied haws. Chen Xiaocai ate one by himself and handed it to Chen Xiaomi.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and Chen Xiaocai who looked intoxicated, and thought to himself: The ancient materials are still too scarce, and candied haws are so popular, there seems to be some candied dates and red dates in his canteen.
With money, Chen Xiaomi is not busy hunting anymore.
Chen Xiaomi bought some tiles and bricks to repair the house. If the house leaks in winter, it will be a big trouble.
"Xiaomi, how about we build a kang?" Lu Lin asked.
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, and asked in confusion, "What is Kang?"
Lu Lin thought for a while and said, "Kang is a bed made of soil or bricks. In winter, firewood is burned underneath. Lying on it will keep you warm and you won't get sick easily."
Hearing that people are not easy to get sick, Chen Xiaomi couldn't help feeling a little moved. Chen Mai's health is very poor, and he is easy to catch cold in winter. Once he gets sick in winter, it is very troublesome to consult a doctor. Autumn came early this year, and Chen Xiaomi thought that winter might be colder.
"How do you understand this thing?" Chen Xiaomi asked.
"It's said in the book. I saw it when I peeked at my cousin's book." Lu Lin said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "I see."
Scholars are still very respected in this era. Although Lu Chengyu of the Lu family is only a Tongshenglang, he is extremely respectable. Every household in the village likes to invite Lu Chengyu for weddings. Save some face.
"The Lu family doesn't have a kang either." Chen Xiaomi said a little puzzled.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "My cousin only thinks about being an official in high school, he doesn't care about other things."
Chen Xiaomi thought about it, and felt that it was indeed the case, "Then you say how to build such a kang, I will help."
Hearing that Chen Xiaomi agreed, Lu Lin was a little happy, and his abacus was flapping.
Lu Lin still likes Chen Xiaomi quite a lot, and he is thinking about when he can deepen his relationship. The Lu family's bed is tattered and small, and Lu Lin has long disliked it.
Lu Lin planned to make the kang bigger and wider. At that time, four people could sleep on one kang, so he could go to bed.
If he can go to bed, he will drive Chen Xiaocai and Chen Xiaocai to his feet, and put a curtain in the middle.
The Chen family was so busy, it was difficult for the Lu family.
The last time Lu Lin refused to help the Lu family, the old lady of the Lu family cursed for a long time, saying that Lu Lin was ungrateful and would be eaten by the wolves in the mountains at some point.
However, not only did Lu Lin not be eaten by wolves, but the Lu family was still repairing the house with great fanfare.
Earlier, Chen Xiaomi had brought back a large basket from the city, which was also seen by the villagers.
The villagers guessed that Chen Xiaomi made a lot of money from hunting again, and they were very envious of Chen Xiaomi.
Lu Lin's eldest aunt, Mrs. Tang, knew that Chen Xiaomi's family was doing well, so she felt a little regretful that she didn't ask for more dowry gifts before.
It took Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi two days to finally build the kang, because it was their first time doing it, and the workmanship was a bit rough, but it was very comfortable to actually lie on it.
The autumn night was already a bit cold. Chen Xiaomi tried to burn the kang at night, and found that it was warm and comfortable to lie on. He couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in this world.
Chen Xiaomi suddenly felt a little admiration for the man she married.
Chen Xiaomi felt that Lu Lin seemed to be very smart, but he didn't quite understand why the Lu family gave him such a smart man. Smarter.
After the house was repaired, Chen Xiaomi had only six taels of silver left in his hands, including his original savings.
Six taels of silver should be enough to buy some food for the winter, but if you want to buy something to live comfortably, it is a bit reluctant.
Chen Xiaomi felt that it was better to make more money, and it would not be too troublesome to ask a doctor for a headache.
