Chapter 398 They Came to Fengyu City
The good thing about this farm is that it is large, and it is perfect for accommodating my aunt and her family. They feel more at ease knowing that they have their own people on the farm.
The next morning, Wang Zhuangtou brought the father and his two sons over. Zhang's father was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slightly dark complexion, a wide mouth and a wide nose. On his square face, his eyes were very bright. He was of medium build, wearing a short blue cloth shirt, and looked like a capable person.
His two sons were also very strong and looked similar to their father, one with a dark complexion and the other with a pale complexion, but they were both dressed neatly.
Their father spoke first, "We will finish the work in the next two days. You can come here in about three days. We will pay 80 coins per person per day. There are about ten of us. The work here will probably take about seven days, a total of 56 taels of silver. Don't worry about food, we bring our own dry food."
When Su He's father heard that he was okay, he smiled and said, "You guys work hard, but we still have to take care of your food. How can you work if you don't eat well? If we don't save this food, the farm will still be short of food."
Su He and his family have agreed to go to Fengyu City tomorrow to get food from the farm there. There was a lot of food harvested there this year, and Su He and his family have arranged to store it.
Now they have no shortage of food, even if they need more, they can still afford to eat. Besides, they can also let the people on the farm start raising chickens in the shed, and as long as the temperature is stable, the egg production can still be guaranteed.
In winter, they can grow some vegetables in the house and sell them in the town for money. As long as people are not lazy, the village can be revitalized in a short time and be self-sufficient.
Su He also wanted to go to Fengyu City to have a look. She would have to go there sooner or later. She also wanted to exchange some silver for the new jewelry map. What she was most willing to do was to exchange the knowledge in her head for silver. It was convenient and quick, and it made money faster than doing business or farming.
They worked hard at the manor for a few days, arranged everything they could think of, and then prepared to go to Fengyu City.
The next morning, after they had breakfast, they rushed to Fengyu City. They first went to their own courtyard. They hadn't been there for such a long time, so they didn't know what was going on. There were servants watching, so they wanted to go over and take a look as soon as they arrived.
They knocked on the door, and the servant inside saw the master coming and opened the door and let the carriage in. He took the carriage and shouted inside, asking others to come out to see the master. He unloaded the carriage by himself and led the horse to the stable to feed hay.
When the others saw them coming, they also helped to serve tea and water, and asked them to sit down and have a good rest. The servants had not seen them for such a long time, so they also gathered around to talk.
Su He's parents asked Wang Dashan about the situation in Fengyu City, and then went into the house to check the account book. They had earned a lot this year, and there were already more than 800 taels of silver in the account. Su He's father put the banknotes away directly. It happened that he didn't have much money on him this time, so he didn't have to ask Su He for money anymore.
I'll give her another 400 taels later, and just keep more than 400 taels at home. If it weren't for Su He, how could we earn so much money? The family probably saved about 2,000 taels of silver. This also includes the money spent, especially the money earned in Fenggou City.
The family had quite a bit of money, but Su He and the others were reluctant to spend it. They knew that if their brothers went to the capital to take the exam, they would need to take a large sum of money with them. Maybe the whole family would have to go with them, because the brothers were not too far apart in age, so they might go together.
After all, they entered the academy together, and although they were of different ages, they entered the same year. Also, if they went together, their families would be worried, so the best solution was for Su He's family to go with them.
In the past, the family needed money for living and food, so renting a house was more cost-effective, and the best way was to buy a place to live. So in the past few years, their family worked hard to save money for the last exam.
