Chapter 77: Horsetail Grass
"Are you sure? You are a grown man and don't keep any money on yourself?" Su Xiaoxia asked in surprise.
"I don't have anything else. I either go hunting in the mountains or work at home. I don't need any money." Xu Yiyun touched his nose and said coquettishly.
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxia didn't ask so many more questions, because if you think about it carefully, this is not modern after all. There is no money for cigarettes, no money for gas, no money for fast food... Xu Yiyun really doesn't have anything to use money for here.
Seeing that she was silent, Xu Yiyun couldn't wait to express what he was thinking: "From now on, you will be the housekeeper and you can use the money you get."
If she can manage the family's money well, take care of the family well, and won't leave as soon as she has money, then he will treat her well. After all, family harmony is what he wants.
"Okay!" Su Xiaoxia nodded and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then if you need money in the future, just tell me."
"Yeah." Xu Yiyun nodded.
As for Xu Dabao and Er Bao's money, they have not yet decided whether to take it themselves or hand it over to Su Xiaoxia for management.
Xu Dabao thought that if he was rich, he could go to a private school or a library to study, and if Erbao was rich, he could also buy snacks to eat...
After thinking about it, Xu Dabao said: "I've got my money myself. If I want to buy something, I'll buy it myself. I'll save the money for my studies, and you don't need to give it to me."
"Yo!" Su Xiaoxia raised her lips and smiled, and said jokingly: "What a young man. He is responsible, has ideas, and is kind! I wish you success!"
Xu Dabao: "..."
Can Su Xiaoxia not speak so harshly? He means everything he says, okay?
Erbao thought for a while and said: "I will keep my money with the eldest brother. If I want money, I will ask the eldest brother for it."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxia did not object, "Sure, you can give it to your elder brother. It's best to keep it in the account."
Erbao curled his lips and snorted coldly: "We are all one family, what's the point of keeping accounts? This is too foreign!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a brat is a brat." Su Xiaoxia tsked and educated: "Have you never heard of brothers settling accounts? Let's not talk about that, just talk about accounting.
"If you develop a good habit of keeping accounts now, you will be able to know what money was collected and where it was spent in the future. You will have a certain plan for these, so that you will not lose money without knowing it in the future."
Xu Dabao, who originally thought that Su Xiaoxia was out of touch and divided the money into so many shares, immediately disappeared after hearing what she said.
She is right. If you develop a good habit of keeping accounts now, you will be able to read account books in the future. People who can read account books can be an accountant or something like that, and there will be another way out in the future...
…
"Er Bao, go get me paper, pen and ink. I'll start keeping accounts too."
"Oh..." Erbao touched the back of his head, a little confused as to why his eldest brother had turned into that bad woman. He just did whatever he said, and he had no idea!
He doesn't listen to bad women!
The main character is a rebel!
After a while, Shen Lan took out all the IOUs at home. They were all owed to the villagers. The money was not much, some were a few coppers, some were a dozen or dozens of coppers, and anything more than 300 coppers was not paid.
No.
In the past, these debts would have been really high debts.
But now, these hundreds of copper coins are just the tip of the iceberg of the money in Su Xiaoxia's hands. After all, one tael of silver is enough money, and this is a thousand copper coins!
Su Xiaoxia took a look, divided the money, tied it with a rope, and finally poked a hole in the IOU, divided the copper plates into portions corresponding to the IOU.
"Xu Yiyun, please wait and settle this account to avoid procrastinating for too long. I'm sorry. By the way, it's been so long and some people didn't say how much the interest will be, so just take a few eggs from home and some of your own seeds. I'll give the dishes to others, thank you for your help."
"Is it so troublesome? You've already paid back the money, why do you still need to send eggs and vegetables?" Xu Yiyun frowned in confusion.
Su Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't mention charging interest, but I owe you the money for so long and you're only paying it back now. Can't you thank me for lending us the money?"
"Xiao Xia is right!" Shen Lan also nodded: "Lao San, you wait for me here, I will prepare eggs and vegetables for you."
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are all homegrown, delicious and fresh. If Xiaoxia hadn't said this, she would have been reluctant to pick the vegetables at home.
After a while, Xu Yiyun walked out the door carrying a brand new big bamboo basket and many coins in his arms. The basket was full of eggs and vegetables. Erbao also followed, asking for help.
Now that the money matters have been settled, the next step is to continue making things like threshing machines.
"Xiaoxia, have you mastered carpentry before?" Shen Lan squatted next to Su Xiaoxia and asked curiously.
She already knows that Xiaoxia is not the same person before, so everything Xiaoxia knows is now learned from other places.
"Yeah, I still have a lot, but I'll tell you when I need them someday." Su Xiaoxia laughed and fooled Shen Lan, then lowered her head and continued working.
In fact, everyone knows it well, and if it is not exposed, everyone can live happily like this.
When Xu Yiyun came back, Su Xiaoxia had already made the yoke, but it was a little rough and needed to be polished to prevent it from getting stuck on the ox's neck and causing discomfort to the ox.
However, there are no grinding tools like sandpaper, and there are many ways to grind, but she thinks the easiest one is to use horsetail.
Equisetum is also called wiping grass, setting grass, and is also called knot grass. It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that horsetail has knots, so it is rough and hard. When rubbed, it will become smooth and clean, just like wood thieves. also!
As the name suggests, it is used to polish wood. Equisetum is usually dried and stored. When used, it is soaked in warm water and it will soon return to straightness.
Using horsetail to polish wood can make the wood smooth and shiny. It is a natural and environmentally friendly polishing material!
This horsetail also has medicinal effects, that is, it is a diuretic, clears away heat, eliminates phlegm and relieves coughs, etc. It is mainly used to treat red eyes, swelling and pain, and coughs.
Because of its strong adaptability and reproductive ability, horsetail will also affect crops, but it also has a certain effect on ecology...
Su Xiaoxia looked at Erbao, who was playing with a wooden sword not far away, and shouted: "Erbao, can you go and do me a favor?"
Hearing the sound, Erbao pursed his lips and asked, "What are you doing? If you do bad things, I won't do them!"
"I won't let you do bad things!" Su Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and said, "Go and help me pick some knotweed, the kind found on the roadside. Pick more. After picking it, dry it with a dustpan and put it in the sun. sun."
"What do you want that thing for?" Erbao frowned, "Children only play with that!"
