A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 105: Jinxiufang Divide

Grandpa Zhang thought that there was no donkey shed in the workshop, so he immediately went to the noodle pounding room and called a few people. He built a donkey shed in the backyard away from people. He put a trough in the shed, put some food for the donkey in the trough, put on the wood chip, and went home.

Zhang Yunyue walked into the courtyard and said, "Grandma, Second Aunt, I'm back." Then she put the package in her hand on the dining table in the courtyard.

Zhu saw the package Zhang Yunyue put on the table and asked, "Yueyue, what did you buy in town today?"

"Grandma, Second Aunt, this is the cloth I bought at Jinxiufang in town today. I want to make two sets of clothes for each family member."

Zhang Yunyue opened the package on the table and took out the cloths one by one.

"This navy blue one is for grandpa, this dark purple one is for grandma, and the grey one is for dad and second uncle. I happened to go to Jinxiu Tower today, so I wanted to make two sets of clothes for everyone in the family.

And this white fine cotton cloth, everyone can make two sets of underwear, Grandma, Second Aunt, I am not very good at needlework, so I would like to trouble you to make it, hehe!"

Grandma Zhang looked at the cloth that Zhang Yunyue took out and said, "It's not a big deal. Your second aunt and I will have nothing to do for a while. It's a good opportunity to make new clothes for everyone at home."

Zhu: "Yes, it's not that difficult to make new clothes. I made new clothes last December and never made them again. I didn't expect that I could make new clothes now. If Xiaoxue and Xiaofeng knew about it, they would be very happy."

"Mother, what are you talking about? I heard you say you wanted to make new clothes. Is that true?"

Zhang Yunyue had just returned from playing outside. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Zhu talking about making clothes. She looked at Zhu and Grandma Zhang in disbelief.

I asked Grandma Zhang again: "Grandma, is what my mother said true? Xiaoxue has new clothes to wear."

Grandma Zhang looked at Zhang Yunxue lovingly:

"Yes, our Xiaoxue will have new clothes to wear in a few days. These cloths are bought by your sister from the town." After saying that, Grandma Zhang pointed to the cloths on the table to show Zhang Yunxue to prove that she did not lie to her.

When Zhang Yunxue heard her grandmother say that it was her elder sister who bought the cloth, she immediately ran to Zhang Yunyue and hugged her:

"Sister, it's your cloth that I need to make clothes for Xiaoxue!"

"Yes, Sister wanted to make new clothes for our Xiaoxue, so I went to town today to buy you some cloth. You see, this color of cloth is for you. Sister picked it especially for you. Does it look good?"

Zhang Yunyue pointed at the piece of light yellow cotton cloth with floral patterns.

"Sister, this is for me. It's so beautiful. Grandma, mother, sister said this piece of cloth is for me to make clothes."

Zhu tapped Zhang Yunxue's forehead with her finger: "Yes, yes, mother heard it, it's yours."

"La la la la la, yeah, I'm going to have new clothes to wear!"

After Zhang Yunxue finished speaking, she started running in the yard.

Zhang Yunyue remembered that she had to get back the share of Jinxiu Tower today, and she also had to find Xiaohua to give the share of the profits to them.

"Grandma, Second Aunt, I have something to do with Xiaohua and the others right now, please take the cloth to your room first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhang Yunyue walked to Xiaohua's house and saw Zhang Xiaohua's father in the yard.

"Uncle Dashan, are Xiaohua and Xiaohe at home? I have something to talk to them about."

"It's Yueyue. Xiaohua and Xiaohe are not at home. They went to play with Xiaoxiao. If you want to find them, go to Xiaoxiao's house. They are both embroidering handkerchiefs at Xiaoxiao's house.

Ever since you found a job for her two sisters to embroider handkerchiefs, they have been thinking about making money by embroidering handkerchiefs every day, hahahaha."

Zhang Dashan was also happy. Zhang Xiaohua and her sister could now save one or two taels of silver a month by embroidering handkerchiefs, which was more than what their mother earned in the workshop.

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Dashan, I'll go to Xiaoxiao's house to find them."

After leaving Zhang Xiaohua's house, Zhang Yunyue walked towards Zhao Xiaoxiao's house at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Yunyue arrived at Zhao Xiaoxiao's house and saw Zhao Xiaoxiao's younger brother playing outside the house, so she asked, "Dongsheng, Dongsheng, is your second sister home?"

Zhao Dongsheng heard someone calling him, looked around, turned around and saw Zhang Yunyue standing behind him:

"Sister Yueyue, my sister is at home."

"Okay, then Dongsheng, you can play slowly outside the door. Sister Yueyue is here to look for your second sister!"

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue walked into Zhao Xiaoxiao's yard. Zhao Xiaoxiao and her sister Zhang Xiaohua were embroidering handkerchiefs in the yard. Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother, Aunt Xiang, was also in the yard.

Zhang Yunyue called out, "Aunt Xiang."

"Hey, Yueyue, come in and sit down. You rarely come to my house to visit Xiaoxiao."

"Yueyue, why are you here? Come and sit down." Zhao Xiaoxiao said, and pulled Zhang Yunyue to sit next to the three of them.

"I'm here to play with you guys." After Zhang Yunyue said these three words, he said silently: Jinxiufang is divided into five words.

When the three of them saw this, they instantly understood what Zhang Yunyue said.

Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded and said:

"Yueyue, Xiaohua, Xiaohe, come on, go to my room. I have a new handkerchief to show you."

"Oh, okay. I'll take a look at it." Zhang Yunyue took over Zhao Xiaoxiao's words.

The three of them got up and followed Zhao Xiaoxiao to her room.

Originally, Zhao Xiaoxiao lived with her older sister Zhao Huanhuan, but her older sister got married last year, and now she lives alone.

After the four people entered Zhao Xiaoxiao's room, Zhao Xiaoxiao turned around and closed the door.

Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaohe sat on the bed. Zhang Yunyue moved the only chair in the room to the front of the bed and sat face to face with the three of them.

Zhang Yunyue took out all the silver bills in his arms and held them in his hand.

"Today I went to Jinxiufang in town to check on the share from last month. Do you know how much the share was?"

Zhang Yunyue paused deliberately, wanting to tease the three people, and asked them to guess.

Zhang Xiaohua asked, "50 taels?"

Zhang Yunyue shook her head and pointed her index finger upwards.

Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't guess, so she could only randomly guess ten times Zhang Xiaohua's: "500 taels?"

Zhang Yunyue continued to shake her head and pointed her index finger upwards.

At this moment, the three of them looked at Zhang Yunyue's fingers, somewhat unconvinced.

Zhang Xiaohe could only swallow and said, "1000 taels?"

"Hahahaha." Zhang Yunyue smiled, still shook her head, and continued to point her finger upwards.

Zhang Yunyue knew that the three of them had already mustered up the courage to guess, so she stopped teasing them.

"I won't tease you any more. The 4140% profit Jinxiufang gave us last month was taels."

As soon as Zhang Yunyue finished speaking, the three of them opened their mouths and looked at Zhang Yunyue with wide eyes.

After all, the most money the three of them usually came into contact with was ten or twenty copper coins. They had never seen silver, and the red envelopes they received during the New Year were only a few cents.

"Yueyue, are you sure you are not joking?" Zhang Xiaohe asked.
