Lin Yijing said this, and Gu Wan thought about it carefully. It is true that he spent a lot of money this year. Those bits and pieces, such as rouge and gouache, only cost two taels of silver per box, but a little adds up to a lot. , it costs dozens of taels of silver a year.
Let¡¯s talk about the big things. A gold hairpin cost fifty taels of silver. Last winter, the whole family bought a mink coat. Although the quality of the mink fur was average, it only cost three pieces of clothing and the two hundred taels of silver were gone. On weekdays, This doesn¡¯t even include the expenses of the family and the money to honor the elders. It¡¯s really that you don¡¯t know how expensive food and rice are when you¡¯re not a family member!
Gu Wan let out a long sigh, the money was really flowing like water! You have to think of a way to save money on food and clothing! Gu Wan thought for a while, the food money at home was a lot, but she and Yuanyuan couldn't eat much on weekdays. At most, Lin Yijing could eat more, but no matter how much one person could eat, how much could he eat?
So Gu Wan decided to personally formulate daily recipes with strict limits. She could not leave it to Chen. Otherwise, would the money be saved? As for other things, you can buy less clothes, and you don¡¯t have to buy rouge and gouache. These are all silver. If you save like this, you can save a hundred taels of silver a year!
Gu Wan made up her mind and went to discuss it with Lin Yijing, "Brother Jing, I don't care about outside matters, but I have the right to interfere with the family's expenses. I think our family spends a lot of money on food and clothing, so I I wonder if we can save some money on these two items!¡±
Gu Wan wanted to take care of the money, so Lin Yijing could only be happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He said happily: "Wan'er, you can take care of it yourself. You have discussed everything else with me. I'll be in charge of the farmers outside and collecting the rent. I¡¯m busy enough, I¡¯ll leave everything at home to you!¡±
After getting Lin Yijing¡¯s approval, Gu Wan calculated it carefully. It¡¯s hard to live this life! The Lin family is no longer what it used to be. Since Lin Yijing became the richest man in the village, there have been more favors and affairs, and more money has been given. If he is given less, he is afraid of being laughed at by others. If he is given too much, he feels bad for himself.
Since there is so much money to spend outside, we can only tighten our belts and suffer ourselves. Otherwise, what should we do? Gu Wan settled the accounts and decided to give Chen 20 cents a day as money to buy groceries. There are also clothes. I won¡¯t buy them in the next year or two. I have to go up the mountain to pick up the firewood at home. I also eat less snacks
Gu Wan sat in her room and calculated all afternoon. She used all kinds of saving tricks, and she only saved less than a hundred taels of silver every year. It¡¯s really hard to describe. Although my family has a big business, I have to spend money everywhere. After all, how much money can I have on hand?
Gu Wan sat in the room thinking about things, until it got dark and Mrs. Chen shouted that it was time to eat, Gu Wan hurriedly left her room, washed her hands, and got ready to eat!
As soon as Gu Wan entered the main room, she looked at the dishes on the table and immediately frowned. There were three dishes and one soup on the table, two meat and two vegetables. It looked good, but there were only three people in the family, so many dishes could not be finished. ? Gu Wan pulled out the chair, sat down and said to Chen, "Sister Chen, if no one comes to the house from now on, we will just make three dishes, two vegetarian and one meat. If you make too much, you won't be able to finish it all!"
Mrs. Chen was very submissive, and she meekly replied: "Yes, ma'am, I've written it down!" Then she withdrew. Gu Wan looked at the exquisite food and had no appetite at all. She only took a few bites and put down her chopsticks! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
