Chapter 448 Earnings of 3,180 taels
Ding Jiajia felt warm in her heart, but it was not proper for her to manage the money now...
Shuiqing stepped out of the main hall door and saw the young couple was hesitant about the money. She could only speak up to help her brother: "Jiajia, keep it. A man who hands over the money is more honest than anything else."
Besides, if a family wants to live better and better, the money must be gathered in one place. If it is dispersed, it will be timid to want to build a family business. Moreover, women in this dynasty cannot go out to work. The man at home gives the money to his wife to manage so that he can live a good life.
The thick and wide palm in front of Ding Jiajia stretched forward again. She had to take it quickly and put it away, whispering: "If you need money, tell me."
Hu Wenhua showed a hearty smile. The palm she retracted felt itchy in the middle where she touched. She couldn't help but clench and loosen it to relieve the itch.
Jiajia's hands are so soft, and her skin is even smoother than the silk material bought by Uncle Ding... "Jiajia, look first, I'll talk to my sister about the money from selling medicinal herbs."
There are people coming and going in the yard, and I can't watch any longer. I have to get the business done first, so I can go to Jiajia's house to propose marriage tomorrow!
Ding Jiajia also knew that this trip was mainly to sell medicinal herbs. Since they came back, they have only talked about some interesting things, and haven't talked about the business yet. She immediately responded: "Well, you go quickly, I'll see the same one myself."
In addition to bright red, the fabrics he bought back also include crabapple red, pomegranate red, and water red.
On the day of the wedding, the bride will wear a red wedding dress. After marrying in, most of them will not wear red, but various delicate and light reds. However, these are all sophisticated wealthy families. It's good for poor families to have a new set of clothes, so how can they ask for color.
This man looks rough, but he has an extremely delicate and meticulous heart.
Hu Wenhua picked up a heavy backpack, turned around and strode towards the main house. Shuiqing heard the conversation between the two and turned around and went into the house.
It was about money and business, so he didn't stay in the main room, but went into the tea room.
Hu Wenhua's feet were in a hurry, but his voice was deliberately lowered: "Sister, the price given by Yuhang is indeed higher than our Guangning Prefecture!"
This was within Shuiqing's guess. After all, Guangning Prefecture is equivalent to a small county town, and Yuhang is equivalent to the provincial capital, and it is a big city in a rich area. The price is naturally different, but guessing is one thing. Now that she has heard it for real, she still asked happily: "How much higher?"
"Yam is a few cents higher, and Polygonum multiflorum is sixty or seventy cents higher!" Hu Wenhua said as he put the heavy cloth bag on the tea table and poured out the silver inside gently.
Although silver bills are convenient to carry, they don't believe in silver bills. White silver makes them feel more secure! And the team has a lot of people. If they really run into a bad guy, if they can rob the silver, they can also rob the silver notes, so they still collect silver.
Yams are calculated by kilograms in Guangning Prefecture. One tael and a few wen doesn’t sound much, but if it is converted into kilograms and the amount they provide, it is a lot!
Needless to say, Polygonum multiflorum is a precious medicinal material with limited production and processing. It is also calculated by taels in Guangning Prefecture, but it is much higher.
The extra silver from selling these two things should be enough for the travel wages.....
Hu Wenhua then reported: "A total of 4,700 taels, sister, please count it."
The twenty-tael ingots of fine silver were piled up like a small mountain, which was easy to count. Shuiqing quickly looked at it and took out five ingots of silver and handed them forward: "This is yours."
Hu Wenhua quickly pushed back: "Sister! I'm the same as them, one hundred wen a day is enough."
Five ingots of silver is one hundred taels! How could he take so much? One hundred wen a day is already very high.
"You are the leader, how can you do the same as the ordinary deliverymen?"
"But one hundred taels is too much. How can I take so much for just one trip?"
"It's okay. I also take a commission based on the total amount. Four thousand seven hundred taels is calculated as five thousand. One thousand taels is twenty wen, so it's five ingots of silver. The greater the amount, the greater the responsibility. You are worth this price!
Next time you go out, if you can only earn one thousand taels of silver, then you will only have twenty taels. You must be mentally prepared and don't complain about it when the time comes." Shuiqing pushed the silver over without hesitation.
She knew her ability and could negotiate business - but it was difficult and dangerous for women in this dynasty to negotiate business;
She could manage the workshop and make money, but it was impossible for her to escort and deliver goods. First, she had no fighting ability, and second, she was a road idiot. She might not be able to see even with a navigation system, not to mention this dynasty. She couldn't even tell the east, south, west, and north when she went out.
Wenhua not only helped the workshop deliver goods, he was also a very good leader! Without him, it would be a problem whether these goods could be safely delivered to Yuhang. She would not give too little money for both private and public reasons.
Hu Wenhua still felt that it was too much. This was one hundred taels. The savings of his parents for so many years were just over one hundred. He earned it in one trip?
"Take it! Don't worry about it. You will have to go out soon. The continuous flow of goods out of the village in the future is all your business. The hard work will come later." Shui Qing put the silver in front of him without any explanation.
Hu Wenhua took a deep breath and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, sister!"
This is my sister taking care of him! He knew it in his heart.
Shui Qing took out another 1,420 taels of silver, put it in a cloth bag, and said softly: "Make it a whole. This is Uncle Ding's. You will give it to Jia Jia and let her take it back later?"
Hu Wenhua found that he took a deep breath too early just now.
Father-in-law and mother-in-law, do you earn money like this?
Jia Jia married him and fell a little hard....
Shuiqing put the remaining 3,180 taels of silver into her backpack and took it to the bedroom opposite. When she came out, she handed a small cloth bag to Wenhua and said, "When you are free, go and pay the wages of the people in the traveling team? The money here should be enough. Just bring the extra money back to me.
Also, tell them about sending toothbrushes next month so that they can be mentally prepared."
After all, Wenhua is more familiar with who the men who are traveling are and how long they have been away. It is more convenient for them to pay wages to each other.
The same group of people will go out, and they will be notified at the same time.
Hu Wenhua picked up two cloth bags and stood up suddenly with his strong body: "I'll go now!"
Who doesn't want to get the silver? Isn't it just to earn this silver that people live in the open air and leave their hometowns? Of course, they have to send it over as soon as possible to make the whole family happy.
By the way, go to Aunt Li's house and ask Sister Dayan to handle the betrothal gift-he wants to settle it as soon as possible.
After giving the Ding family's share to Jiajia first, Hu Wenhua strode towards the village.
This trip will last for a total of 46 days, 100 wen a day, which means 4 liang 6 qian per person.
The four families of Zhao, Sun, Fan, and Zhang Tuzi did not select anyone to go, so the few families with two men, such as Aunt Zhang, Mr. Fan Qi, and Aunt Li, received 9 liang 2 qian at a time!
Hu Wenhua deliberately left Aunt Li's family for the last.
