Chapter 57 Divide Money
Square army green parasols were erected in the camp. Everyone sat under the umbrellas, some chatting, some playing mahjong, and a few children even set up an ice jelly stall.
Long Shisan looked at Long Qi who was playing mahjong with envy, and continued to sigh as he counted the things he had moved down from Black Wind Village last night. Long Sanwu was holding a notebook and was responsible for registering the things next to him.
They had to string together the copper coins from the two boxes one by one with ropes, which made him dizzy and his head pounding.
After working for an entire afternoon, a total of 60,000 kilograms of grain were harvested, including 52,000 kilograms of coarse grains and 8,000 kilograms of fine grains.
The total amount of gold, silver, copper coins and silver notes was 24,856 taels, 3 coins and 13 copper coins, 25 rolls of silk, 43 rolls of fine cotton, 89 rolls of coarse cloth, and a total of 336 pieces of gold and silver jewelry.
There are also some miscellaneous items such as dried meat, sugar, salt, etc.
Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng read the booklet, discussed it, and decided to save 10,000 taels for future emergencies, and divide the remaining 10,000 taels directly.
As for food and cloth, after soliciting everyone's opinions, each person was first given 100 kilograms of coarse grains and 20 kilograms of fine grains, and two sets of cloth. The rest was stored in their "sleeves", after all, it was troublesome to carry so much food on the road.
As for jewelry, each woman and girl will receive a piece of gold jewelry, and the silver jewelry will be given to those who perform well this time.
Yu Chun'er and the other younger girls each received two pieces of silver jewelry, and even Liu Ru received a small silver lock.
Yang Juanzi was lying on a cart. Xiao Wang and several other women came over with trays of gold jewelry and showed them to her one by one, letting her choose first.
She was not a shy person and picked out a carved gold bracelet as thick as her index finger.
Wang Xueer put the gold hairpin she was given into Yang Juanzi's hair and said, "Mother, you are so beautiful." She then put a pair of silver bracelets on her wrists and said, "This is for you, too."
Yang Juanzi gave her a reproachful look, "Are you scared?"
Wang Xueer shook her head and said, "I know that mother will be fine. Mother will not abandon me and father."
She looked extremely serious, as if she really thought so.
Yang Juanzi's heart softened, and her nose felt a little sour, "You girl."
She moved her wrists, and the two silver bracelets on her hands made a slight sound. "Mother will wear them for two years to satisfy your craving. When you are older, I will give you the gold bracelets as well."
Wang Xueer lowered her eyes to look at her slender wrist, and said sternly: "I don't want it, give them all to mother, I just have the red hairband." Wearing jewelry would not be convenient for her to kill people.
Yang Juanzi knew that she was a person of decisiveness and did not argue with her. She planned to use it as a treasure for her when she was young.
Honglian and Lumei each got a gold locket. What a coincidence, these two gold lockets were the only pair. They were twins, so they didn't ask for any gold hairpins or gold necklaces, but just this one.
Honglian braided two red ropes and strung the golden locks tightly together. The two sisters then hung the golden locks around their necks and wore them close to their skin.
Yu Chun'er chose a bat-shaped gold hairpin and Yu Qiu'er chose the thickest gold bracelet, and they both gave them to Xiao Wang. They also wanted to give the two silver hairpins to Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng.
In this regard, Yu Qiuer also criticized Yu Chaosheng's aesthetic taste, because she thought the bamboo branch on her uncle's head was ugly, so she specially picked a silver hairpin with bamboo leaves for Yu Chaosheng.
Yu Chaosheng was angry and helpless, but still very grateful for her thoughtfulness, and took two bags of snacks from the carriage for her.
Pan Yingying picked out a gold hairpin and gave it to Zhao, and took the only topaz ring among her jewelry and gave it to Old Man Pan.
Old man Pan plays with bows and arrows, and he has a jade ring to protect his fingers.
Yu Chaosheng's mouth was pouted like a duck.
Pan Yingying had to find a purple jade ring from the space to appease the man.
This time, Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying treated everyone equally regardless of size, and each of them received nearly eighty taels of silver. However, they made an agreement with everyone that since this was the first time they were dividing it this way, the next time they would reward according to merit.
This is unexpected wealth, everyone is so happy, how could they have any objections?
The exiled prisoners looked at the excitement here with envy. They also wanted to join in. Old Master Qi turned around and asked Qi Yong, "How much more do you need?"
Qi Yong began to count on his fingers, "88, it's a lucky number."
Old Master Qi nodded with satisfaction. He had been hit on the waist with a stick, leaving a large bruise. It hurt when he spoke, but he was happy in his heart.
It’s almost there, two more waves and they will be able to pass.
We will still have a big pot meal tonight, and everyone has unanimously decided to eat from the same pot until their injuries are healed.
They were happy, but it was Yu Chaosheng who had a sullen face and looked at Long Qi and the others with a cold face.
The Dragon Shadow Guards couldn't do anything about it because they didn't activate the cooking skill.
Pan Yingying couldn't stand it anymore, so after everyone had rested, she dragged him to a sheltered place and bought him a roast duck.
Yu Chaosheng ate until his mouth was full of oil, and drank half a bottle of happy water. Finally, there was a smile on his face.
After washing with the warm water in the space, the two returned to the camp, each put on a layer of sleeping mask in front of the mirror, and lay down shoulder to shoulder.
Lumei smacked her lips, turned over, and whispered to Honglian, "The young lady and her husband must have gone out to eat something delicious just now."
Honglian was silent for a moment, reached out from the bag she was holding, took out a piece of winter melon candy and stuffed it into her mouth, then patted her arm and said, "Go to sleep."
Lumei glared at him, "Sis, where did you get this? It's delicious!"
Honglian covered her mouth, not allowing her to speak, but still explained to her in a low voice, "The girl gave it to me. It's a big bag, enough for you to eat for a long time."
Lu Mei opened her hands, her eyes curved with beauty, "Sister, you eat it too, you eat it too, it's really delicious and sweet."
Honglian hummed, took out a small piece from her bag and put it in her mouth, smiling, "It's very sweet."
Lu Mei was so excited that she got into her arms, "Really?"
"Go to sleep." Honglian patted her back gently, her voice low and soft, like a sister and also like a mother.
Here, Yu Qiuer hugged Yu Chuner's uninjured arm, glanced sideways at the sleeping Xiao Wang, and whispered in Yu Chuner's ear: "Sister, I want some candy."
Yu Chun'er didn't even open her eyes. She answered with them closed, "My aunt said that eating candy at night is bad for your teeth. You don't want to get cavities, do you? Go to bed quickly. You have to get up and memorize medical books tomorrow morning."
Yu Qiuer: ...
Yu Qiuer said "Oh" and started counting the candies in her mind.
A piece of osmanthus candy, a piece of pear paste candy, a piece of maltose, a piece of... candy...
Yu Chuner heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her sister snoring. She opened her eyes and looked at the army green top of the parasol. She began to review the problems she encountered during the operation and the knowledge Pan Yingying had taught her during the operation...
I cried because the 54th chapter was missed and I replaced it and added it.
My eyes are really blurry.
I'm really sorry everyone, I need to re-watch it.
