"I kept the silver I needed for these few days, and replaced the rest with gold, all in this box." Mrs. Chen walked up to Chu Rong, put the small wooden box in front of her, and said with a smile.
The corners of Chu Rong's lips curled up, and she opened the box happily to take a look. The regular gold ingots cost ten taels, and there were two floors, a total of thirty ingots. If they were exchanged for silver, they would cost three thousand taels.
Covering the box, Chu Rong looked up at Mrs. Chen, and asked with a smile, "Is the remaining money enough for years ago?"
Mrs. Chen shook her head, sat down around the desk and said, "You don't need to keep so much, Fumanlou pays every five days, and the workshop is the same, and there will definitely be a sum of money from the fish pond a few years ago." Silver, when the time comes, the annual gift will come from the silver over there, it will be enough."
Hearing this, Chu Rong didn't ask any more questions, and only asked Xiao Chen not to forget to give some benefits to the helpers at the end of the year. After this year, everyone worked hard, so the benefits were naturally indispensable.
As far as welfare is concerned, the two discussed for a while what to send out, but in the end Chu Rong got annoyed, and directly increased the monthly money for the twelfth lunar month by one or two taels of silver, so that they could buy whatever they liked and save themselves from worrying about it.
Little Chen nodded silently in agreement.
Returning to the house with the gold ingot in her arms, she sent Chunmei Chunhe to help in the kitchen. Chu Rong went straight back to the bedroom, and after some tidying up, she pulled out a pearwood box from the dark box of the closet.
This wooden box is much bigger than the one she carried back. When it was opened, it was golden inside, and the rows of gold ingots were neatly stacked. Chu Rong bent her lips and put the thirty ingots of gold ingots in the small wooden box one by one. After the last one was put on, it happened to be full of Limu's shrimps. Counting carefully, it turned out to be a whole hundred ingots.
"Xiao Jin'er has enough silver at the bottom of the box, so it's time to prepare real estate like Zhuangzi's shop?" Chu Rong muttered, and put the pear wood box back into the dark box.
The reason why Chu Rong hid so many gold ingots is to save her dowry for her precious daughter. It stands to reason that it would be better to exchange the silver at the bottom of the box for silver notes, but Chu Rong is different from what others think. It doesn't matter if you say she is cautious, or you say she is worrying unfoundedly, but she just thinks that silver notes are not as safe as gold.
The banknotes of this era are really paper, which is equivalent to the banknotes of the previous life, but the material is quite different. It is said that after washing, it can be crushed even if you hold it with wet hands.
And that bank is also in danger of going bankrupt. In case of unlucky luck, it happens that the bank where you saved your money goes bankrupt, and you will never be able to withdraw your money at that time.
However, in Chu Rong's eyes, she never kept the money safe at home.
After putting away the gold ingots, Chu Rong opened the door and came to the main room. It happened that Huang Shuhai and the three children walked in.
"Mother, is my brother good today?" Xiao Jin'er, who was walking at the end, saw Chu Rong, ran to him in a hurry, raised her head and asked with a smile.
Chu Rong resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and kept telling herself that this was her precious daughter's concern, so she must keep smiling.
But whoever is asked three times a day, even sometimes this little girl will come back to ask a few more times when halfway through class, is enough for her, and the most important thing is that this little girl seems to have recognized her belly. It's like a boy in the house, from the day I knew it, it was my brother's cry.
Chu Rong stretched out her hand and pinched the tip of the little girl's nose, deliberately put on a sad expression, "Not as well-behaved as our little Jin'er."
When Xiao Jin'er heard this, she frowned immediately, lowered her head and looked at Chu Rong's stomach thoughtfully, sighed faintly, patted Chu Rong's shoulder like a little adult, and comforted, "Brother You're still young, mother, don't worry, when he's as old as me, he'll listen to what mother says."
With a puff, Chu Rong really couldn't hold back her laughter. Seeing the baby girl with her head tilted and dazed, she was so happy that she hugged the little girl and kissed her a few times before giving up.
For lunch, Wen Niang cooked eight dishes according to their tastes, five of which were sweet and sour, and the remaining three were almost all meat dishes. There was no way, the five people in this house who could be called masters, With the addition of Chu Zhen, all six of them are carnivores, and they don't like vegetables.
But this time, there was a plate of strangely shaped things in front of Chu Rong, which also attracted the attention of the other five people on the table.
Looking at the golden plate of food, Chu Rong half-closed her eyes and sniffed vigorously. The full burnt aroma contained the aroma of rice and a touch of sweetness, which made her salivate uncontrollably.
? To be honest, compared to the eight exquisite dishes on the dinner table, the food on this plate isIt was really not a good thing, but it was enough to attract the attention of the other five people who had never seen it before.
The pot helmet is burnt and crispy, and it is sprinkled with sugar before serving. This is made by Chu Rong after telling Wenniang how to steam the rice. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
