Chapter 102
Qian didn't want to take too big risks, but she didn't want to take any risks at all. She weighed it up and finally decided to spend the money to buy a pallet truck.
Because the family lacks this, and since Manbao went to school, she has more and more opportunities to go out. It is more convenient to have a cart at home. Even if the business cannot continue, the cart can continue to be used, so it is not a loss.
But she was not very willing to buy a large cauldron. She said: "I have a large cauldron at home to boil water and a smaller one, which is also complete for stews and cooking. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy another cauldron if I don't need it in the future?"
She said: "A big cauldron costs more than three hundred dollars. If the business is like today, it would be fine. What if it's not the same?"
Zhou Erlang asked distressedly, "What do you think we should do? Erya's mother and I can't do it empty-handed, right?"
Qian thought for a while and then said: "This business can't be started in one day. You have to visit the place first and say hello to the police officer there. In this way, you can go to your uncle's house early tomorrow morning.
Take a trip, ask him to borrow a big cauldron, carry two kilograms of meat, and ask him to borrow it for two months. Then tell your second uncle, and ask him to take care of the hot water for your uncle's house in these two months."
Mr. Qian was very careful with his budget, "There are a lot of pots and pans at home. If you bring more, you can put them on the fire."
Zhou Erlang happily agreed that as long as there was a way for him to start this business, he actually didn't really want to spend money.
Man Bao felt that this was too troublesome, and even discussed it with the fifth brother, "It's so troublesome, why not we use the money to buy it for the second brother. It is best to buy two cauldrons, one big and one small. The small one can stew vegetables, and the big one can
Just make soup."
Wu Lang looked at her, silently turned his back and ignored her.
Man Bao insisted on sitting in front of him. Wu Lang covered the bag and said: "Don't think about it, mother said, this is a waste. If we don't do this business in the future, won't the things be useless?"
"Sell it when it's no longer useful." Man Bao said matter-of-factly: "It will look like new once it's cleaned."
Wu Lang looked at her with an expression of looking at a fool, "Anyone's cauldron will be used once or for a lifetime. Some people use it carefully, and it is passed down from father to son. Who would use the cauldron at home?"
If you sell it, no one will buy it even if you sell it."
Man Bao didn't believe it, "If this is the case, how will the people who built the cauldron live?"
Wu Wulang choked, and then said arrogantly: "I don't care, I won't pay anyway."
"Fifth brother, what do you want so much money for?"
Wu Lang blushed and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered to Man Bao, "I want to save money to marry a wife."
Man Bao looked at Wu Lang in astonishment, scratched his little head and asked, "Fifth brother, do you want to get a wife?"
"That's not true, but isn't it what you said? People have to think long-term. I thought about it. My long-term goal is to marry a wife, and the longer-term goal is to have children. Both the eldest brother and the second brother said that the family is now
Even though the fourth brother has made a mistake and his parents want to punish him, it is impossible not to marry him a wife." Wu Lang took his brothers' words to heart and whispered to Manbao: "Fourth brother
It is impossible to get married for less than five taels of silver. His reputation is not good now. I heard the second sister-in-law and the elder sister-in-law said that without eight taels of silver, I am afraid that the fourth brother cannot be a good girl."
Zhou Wulang clasped his fingers and said: "With so much money and so many people in our family, we have to save it for at least two or three years without getting sick or suffering from disasters. And as you can see, I live with my fourth brother and my sixth brother. How much money do I have to save?"
If you want to get married, you have to build a house."
He said: "I estimate that if my family builds a house, it will definitely be built together with my share and Lao Liu's share. This requires a lot of money. If I expect my family to marry me, I estimate
It will be seven or eight years later."
Man Bao also counted on his fingers and was convinced.
Wu Wulang continued: "And seven or eight years later, I will be over 20. Alas, when I reach that age, the people and children I play with will become jealous. It will definitely be difficult for me to get married, and the bride price will be
Only when you get high can you do it.”
Man Bao's face was full of surprise.
"If I am delayed, the sixth child will also be delayed. If our family is like this, one drags two, two drags three, how many years will it take to get ahead?" Wu Lang looked worried, "I guess no one in the family is seriously ill.
After the big disaster, the fourth brother stopped gambling, and it would take twelve years. But after twelve years, Da Tou will be twenty-one and Da Ya will be twenty. Do they want to take a wife or get married? "
Manbao's eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God!!!" Keke, what the fifth brother said must not be true.
The system did the math and said: "Your fifth brother's calculation is really good. If you rely on the average income of the host's family in the previous three years to calculate, he is right."
"Is this the butterfly effect you are talking about? Just because my fourth brother lost a bet, my family will never be able to survive again?"
"Host, don't forget, you are the second smartest person within a hundred miles. Now that your children are learning knowledge, you still have me. Your future is immeasurable, and at the same time, your family is also immeasurable."
Man Bao's focus was different. She said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't he the smartest one within a hundred miles? Why is he the second smartest?"
Keke coughed softly and said, "Because classmate Bai Shan is here."
Man Bao pouted, feeling a little unhappy, so after Zhou Lang came back from working at Bai's house happily, Man Bao started to instruct him to work. One moment he said that the yard was dirty and he wanted him to clean it, and the other moment he said she wanted him to do it.
I took a shower and asked him to get water, and then he asked me to ride on my neck...
Zhou Lang was quite obedient at first and didn't notice it after all, but he soon realized that something was wrong. He put down the barrel unhappily and said, "Manbao, are you deliberately torturing your fourth brother? I don't know that I have been working for a whole day.
Tired."
Man Bao snorted at him and said, "I'm working too. I'm tired too. I make more money than you. When will you be able to pay back the money you owe your family?"
Zhou Lang choked, picked her up and put her on his neck, shouting: "Okay, little ancestor, tell me where you want to go!"
Man Bao looked down at the yard and the road outside, and immediately became happy. He grabbed his hand with one hand, pointed forward with the other, and said proudly: "Ahead, I want to go out to play, drive!"
Lao Zhoutou glanced at his daughter and asked Wu Lang, "Will Manbao still go with you tomorrow?"
Wu Lang still hoped that Man Bao would go. Even if she didn't dare to go there, he felt much more at ease squatting there, so he nodded repeatedly.
Lao Zhoutou asked, "Has her article been written?"
How could Zhou Lang know? Anyway, I haven't seen the third child take a pen today. He said with some guilt: "It should be soon."
