MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 169 damn hard

 Qin Yao raised her head in displeasure and said in a deep voice:

“Stop your worries, the raw material is lard, we can’t afford this business, and I have other uses for this recipe, so please stop worrying, it won’t make our family rich.”

When Liu Ji heard that lard was needed as the raw material, he thought, "What a good guy."

  No wonder it’s so easy to use, it turns out to be made of lard.

but

“Madam, why do you want to keep this recipe?” Liu Ji asked curiously.

Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "Don't ask about my affairs!"

Liu Ji smiled: "Okay, I'll leave now. Madam, please rest early and don't look at the account book at night. Don't hurt your eyes."

 He withdrew with a strong desire to survive.

　　Before leaving, I went to the kitchen to find an old pottery bowl, added a layer of ashes to it, and then put a few pieces of charcoal in it to prevent myself from freezing to death at night.

 Actually, Qin Yao had never treated him harshly when it came to bedding. There were thick quilts in the room.

But the house that has been unoccupied for too long is dark and damp, and the coldness creeps into the bed at night. If you don't burn some charcoal fire to toast the house, you will really get sick from the cold.

Qin Yao plans to cover all the dirt floors in the house with wooden floors when she has free time next year to create a more comfortable resting space for herself.

 If you have more time, add another room, make the stables stronger, and build an extra shed to hold the carriages.

By the way, it is urgent to teach Dalang how to ride a horse. After the New Year, there will be an urgent training.

 If possible, buy a pony at home for your children to go to school with.

Old Huang is too tall and is very unfriendly to the height of Dalang and Erlang. If he falls off the horse one day, his buttocks will break in two.

 At the beginning, the purpose of customizing the carriage was to make it convenient for school, but an adult was needed to drive the carriage. Qin Yao later realized that she could not pick them up and back from school every day.

After all, she still has a lot of things to be busy with. She needs to complete the quarrying and installation of the water mill and the farm work in the fields.

However, if you want to realize these ideas, you must have money on hand.

Qin Yao breathed out a deep breath, and the people who were in the way were gone. Finally, she got a moment of peace, lowered her head and concentrated on taking stock.

This time, Shopkeeper Wu’s order was settled, and she received fifty taels of silver. After deducting the cost, the profit remained at twenty taels. She and Carpenter Liu split it half and half, making each of them ten taels.

These ten taels of silver, plus the original 206 taels of silver at home, make a total of 216 taels of silver.

At the end of the year, my family bought a lot of groceries, including half a fan of pork, with a balance of 214 taels.

 The money for the water mill is spent almost every month and is not included.

As for the land purchase, Qin Yao made plans from October to the end of the year, but still couldn’t buy it. Either it was too scattered, or it was not good land, but medium land.

 The output of the middle field is not as good as if she continues to rent the fertile land of Liu Dafu's family.

 But Liu Dafu refused to let go of the place she was interested in, so she had no choice but to wait and see. Buying a land was something as big as buying a land and there was no need to rush it.

Old man Liu also meant the same thing. He asked Qin Yao about many stores, but there was no one that was particularly suitable, so he asked her to continue waiting. It would be easy to lose money if you buy urgently.

And who knows what will happen next year. The snow this year was light, and the thin layer of salt and snow particles on the ground melted in a short time. Old man Liu just finished dinner and looked at the sparse snow outside the house, and he was a little worried.

Auspicious snow can herald a good year. If the snow falls too lightly, the pests in the ground will not freeze to death, and the next year's harvest will definitely be affected.

 In serious cases, there will be a locust plague.

Liu Bai and others felt that their father was worried too early. This was the first snow of the year, and it might get heavy in two days.

Qin Yao took out all the silver and counted it again. Looking at the white pieces of silver, her heart felt hot.

 It’s a pity that there is no place for consumption here, otherwise I would at least have to spend some revenge to comfort myself for the hard work this year. He counted the silver coins three times, and the more he counted, the more addictive he became. If not for the sleepiness, Qin Yao would have wanted to look at it a few more times.

 Re-plan this asset, leaving 180 taels to buy the land, leaving 34 taels to buy a horse for the family, and then the rest is money for tuition and house decoration and additions.

I don’t know how many more orders the water mill factory will receive next year, but with scattered selling parts and occasional orders, both she and Carpenter Liu can make money on their daily expenses.

 Perhaps because the basic food and clothing problem has been solved, coupled with the "carpe diem" character developed over the years in the last days, Qin Yao rarely worries about the future.

 After collecting the account books, I looked at those lovely silver nuggets again, went back to the house, turned off the lights, and fell asleep.

 Finally, she didn’t have to get up early to work during the annual vacation. All the work in the fields was done. She wanted to sleep in, even if the King of Heaven came and I didn’t wake up!

Qin Yao fell asleep peacefully, but Liu Ji couldn't sleep at all.

He just 'accidentally' heard someone in the main room muttering "Two hundred and fourteen taels of silver," and his heartbeat sped up two beats.

 Liu Ji knew that Qin Yao had a lot of money, but he did not know the specific amount.

 The shock brought by his own guessing and Qin Yao's own words were completely different.

There are more than two hundred taels of silver at home!

In the past, you couldn’t make a profit even if you sold him by the pound.

Looking at the whole village, only Liu Dafu's family has so much money.

As soon as Liu Ji thought of the number 214, he was so excited that he couldn't close his eyes and made sure to pay attention. Even if Qin Yao wanted to beat him to death, he would never leave this house!

 Lying in the thick quilt, Liu Ji wanted to slap himself, so that he could offend someone before.

If you had rejected Fan Xiucai early in the morning and studied conscientiously according to the study schedule given by the evil woman, the good days would have come long ago!

　　Liu Ji felt both regretful and thankful at the same time. His thoughts were confused and he stayed up for half the night before falling asleep.

But when the rooster crows in the yard, he almost reflexively sits up and opens his eyes with a "swish".

His eyes were still bruised from staying up late, and there was a streak of red blood on the whites of his eyes, but his eyes were extremely bright.

 Getting dressed and getting out of bed, he lit the candlestick, took out the books and spread them out on the small table. Only then did he come back to his senses, and his whole body was roused.

 Liu Ji holds his forehead, he is so **** hardworking!

However, if it’s all over the place, let’s continue to endorse it.

It was pitch black outside the window. The snow stopped at midnight yesterday, and it fell lightly. When it fell to the ground, it turned into water. The candlelight passed through and reflected little bits of light.

 The cold hit him, and Liu Ji let out a breath of white air. It was extremely cold.

There was still a little charcoal left in the fire last night, so I hurried to the main room to find charcoal and put it in, fanned the charcoal with a fan, and lit the stove in the main room, filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove.

 After doing this, Liu Ji returned to the room, warming himself by the fire while endorsing in a low voice.

 After memorizing a few sentences, I felt that it was not interesting, so I took out the hair tie from my bag and tied it up. I received the blessing of the "Wenquxing Protects Me" hair tie, and I instantly felt better.

When there was a faint light on the horizon, he put down his book, walked to the kitchen, started the stove, and prepared breakfast for the family.

While things are cooking in the pot, pick up the bucket and go out, bring back bucketfuls of water, and fill the water jar.

Dalang got up for morning exercises and saw the lights on in the kitchen and the main room. He walked into the main room with surprise. The stove was burning warm inside and there was freshly boiled water hanging on the table.

"Da Lang, use the warm water on the table in the main room to wash your teeth. It won't freeze your teeth." Liu Ji whispered in the kitchen.

Erlang jumped out of the room. Liu Ji immediately shushed and pointed to the master bedroom. Don't disturb your stepmother's sleep.

The two brothers looked up at the sky. The sun didn't come out in the west today?
