    "How much?" the four little guys asked in unison, unable to believe their ears.  "Thirty-one yuan and sixty-nine cents!" The main reason is that it is a good time when the new year is approaching. Farmers have a lot of cloth in their hands, so this business is particularly easy to do.  Yang Shaowen looked proud. Looking at the enthusiastic eyes of his younger brothers and sisters, he felt extremely proud.  He threw the money bag in his hand on the table, and there was a "Boom!" and the table made a deep and powerful sound, showing the heavy weight of the money bag.  In rural areas, the transaction volume is small, and copper coins of small denominations are used.  Yang Shaowen was too lazy to go to the county town to exchange for silver coins or silver coins with larger denominations, so he simply took a large stack of copper coins home. He felt that this would have more visual impact.  "What, you don't believe it? If you don't believe it, just count it yourself. This bag is full of money, enough for you to count it for a while." "I'll count it, I'll count it!" Xiao Xiangxiang is the most active  , she had just been taught counting by her sister Yang Yuhua these days.  She really wants to show off in front of her eldest brother so that he can praise her.  The copper coins poured out of the bag piled up into a small mountain on the table, making Yang Yuhua and the others dizzy.  "One, two, threeSeventeen, eighteen, sixteen, oh, that's wrong, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen" In the room, Yang Yuxiang began to count the coins one by one very hard, and Yang Yuhua was also beside him.  Watch.  Whenever Xiangxiang made a mistake in counting, she would give her a tap on the palm of her hand. At the same time, she would count the coins on the table silently and enthusiastically.  The two brothers Yang Shaoming and Yang Shaokuan were driven by Yang Shaowen to move the New Year's goods on the ship.  Yang Yuhua saw that they had not finished moving back and forth several times, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what did you buy? There are so many?" "They are all food and clothing, and I bought several bags of rice alone.  There is also some meat. In addition, I also bought several batches of cloth for you. When you are free, Yuhua, you can sew new clothes for your brothers and sisters. " Yang Shaowen comes from a modern society and is extremely rich in supplies!  Era.  For several months in the late Qing Dynasty, he had not enough to eat or clothing to wear every day, which really suffocated him.  Nowadays, when you suddenly become rich, you have to be extravagant and corrupt no matter what. What¡¯s more, it is the new year, so of course you have to comfort yourself and your family.  After this large purchase, the cost was almost seven or eight yuan, which was equivalent to what their family spent more than a year ago.  Yang Yuhua is used to living a hard life and has some objections to her elder brother's problem of spending money lavishly.  When she discovered that the fabrics Yang Shaowen bought were all silk and satin, she shivered with distress.  "Our family can weave fabrics ourselves, so there is no need to buy them outside. Even if it is the end of the year, it would be good to cut some floral fabrics. Buying silk and satin is such a waste!" Yang Shaowen disagreed, knowing that it was his sister's thrifty habit that caused trouble.  .  Some locally woven homespun cloths are used to sew work clothes. Although they are strong and wear-resistant, they are not very comfortable and cannot be compared with silk and satin in terms of beauty.  Those who celebrate the New Year must of course wear high-end fabrics and dress their younger brothers and sisters beautifully.  Xiao Xiangxiang next to her finally counted to more than ninety, but she couldn't count anymore: "Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, ninety-nine" Xiangxiang complained a little about her brother.  She couldn't even count what she was doing with so much money, which made her extremely embarrassed.  When she heard her third brother Yang Shaokuan calling her outside the door: "Xiangxiang, there are a lot of delicious food on the boat, including spring rolls, square cakes, egg cakes, candied haws" She couldn't count the money, so she put the copper coins in front of her.  Pushing forward, he ran to find snacks.  In the evening, Yang Yuhua was cooking New Year's Eve dinner.  When Yang Shaowen looked in the kitchen, he saw that his good sister was still cooking as before. She wiped the frozen fat into the pot and pretended that the oil had been left out.  He really couldn't stand it.  "Yuhua, I'll let my eldest brother do the big talk today, and you can rest." Yang Shaowen in modern society is a good cook, but when he comes here, he can't even eat enough every day, and his cooking skills are not good enough.  No way to perform.  Yang Yuhua was not at ease. She had never seen him in the kitchen before and was about to refuse.  Yang Shaowen couldn't help but take the shovel in her hand and cut a piece of grease into the pot.  "Too much, too much oil!" I thought to myself, the eldest brother really doesn't know how to cook, he is just messing around.  But soon, she overturned her judgment.  Yang Shaowen picked up the kitchen knife, flipped his palm, and cut a carrot into thin dices in the blink of an eye.  Pour the condiments into the pot, and the cooking style is quite chef-like.  Yang Yuhua felt strange in his heart: "Brother, when did you learn this craft?" Yang Shaowen replied a little bit: "Brother is very smart. Seeing that you have been doing it for so long, there is nothing you can't do! Yuhua, I will follow you.  You said, our family will be a big family in the future, and we can¡¯t be so picky about cooking in the future.?Don¡¯t put oil in, you know?  " Yang Yuhua irritated him: "Brother, you look exactly like one of those wealthy locals who broke out in the countryside. It's so vulgar!  " Yang Shaowen didn't take it seriously. The rich man is much better than the hungry gentlemen. This New Year's Eve dinner is the most comfortable one Yang Shaowen has eaten in the past few months, not only because of the dishes.  The most important thing is to enjoy the joy of success. Although this transaction is small, it is my first time. From discovering business opportunities, planning, financing to finally opening up the situation, I have done everything by myself.  Using his foresight or golden fingers as a modern person, this real sense of accomplishment is the most intoxicating, even more intoxicating than when he walked out of school and successfully developed his first software project.  The four younger brothers and sisters were also very happy. Steamed chicken, stir-fried crucian carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, Kung Pao chicken, boiled pork slices Yang Yuhua and the others had never had such a sumptuous dinner in these years, no, it should be said that they had never had such a sumptuous dinner since they were young.  Among them, on the one hand, there are plenty of condiments, including fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and the portions are sufficient. On the other hand, Yang Shaowen¡¯s cooking skills are excellent, and Yang Shaokuan sighed: "  Brother, the food you cook is so delicious. It would be great if you cooked all the food in our house from now on.  " Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the head with a chopstick. Yang Yuhua was very unhappy and said: "Why, did my cooking taste bad before?  " "No, no!  "Yang Shaokuan hurriedly said no, but he added in his heart that it is very unpalatable. Compared with what his elder brother makes, it is just pig food.  Licking it clean, he still said: "It would be great if I could eat so many delicious things every day!  " "Yes, from now on, our family will be able to eat big fish and meat every meal!"  "Yang Shaowen patted Xiangxiang's cheek dotingly, and assured his young sister. "On New Year's Eve, everyone must stay up late. With the candles of the lanterns, the younger brothers and sisters sat around Yang Shaowen, wanting to listen to him  Yang Shaowen is also willing to share his experience of this month with his younger brothers and sisters, starting from the time when he couldn't speak and didn't dare to shout, and how he made his first business.  , talking about how he bargained with customers, how he made deals with farmers once, twice, and three times, how he adjusted the ratio of cotton to cash in his hands to increase the volume of transactions, and how he brought free goods to the villagers to win their favor  The little guys were fascinated by it and felt that doing business was much more interesting than processing cotton yarn and more interesting than studying at home. Yang Shaoming pestered him on the spot and wanted to do business with him.  , This may not be impossible to consider. On New Year¡¯s Eve in the 20th year of Guangxu¡¯s reign, the five brothers and sisters of the Yang family were all immersed in the beautiful yearning for the new year.
