In the end, it was Shu Wanniang's cooking. She was no longer Miss Jiao ten years ago. Her husband held her in his hands, but she couldn't always make her husband difficult and hard, while she lived in her own world.

Mu Shi took out all the money in the family and counted it. There were more than seven taels of money in total. He put the copper coins that were less than a penny aside. He sat cross-legged on the kang, staring at the seven taels of money in a daze.

Shu Wanniang came in with her stomach in her arms and asked, "Isn't the tax only six taels? Our family has enough, what else do you worry about?"

Mu Shi frowned, "The price of grain at the grain shop in the town has increased, and I'm afraid the border is unstable." Mu Shi looked at Shu Wanniang's big belly and felt flustered. He was a little irritable and said, "How about we go Go south to hide?"

"How is this possible?" Shu Wanniang was shocked, "Master, it will be difficult to come back after leaving the homeland, not to mention that everything needs money to go out, what can we do with our current one or two taels of silver?"

How could Mu Shi not know? The wife is heavy, and the son is not in good health. If they flee south, they must have a donkey cart, but now their family has nothing but a cart.

Even if you can use your own food when you are away from home, what about the food? There is also accommodation, and even the cost of entering the city. All these items require money. My wife’s belly is seven months old, and I am most afraid of bumps...

But Mu Shi is flustered, this is a kind of vigilance only in the face of danger, he has never made a mistake.

Mu Shi's mouth was a little parched, he poured himself a bowl of water, touched his wife's sharp belly, gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's stock up more food, if something happens, we'll run to the mountains."

Shu Wanniang lowered her eyes, "But there are ferocious beasts in the mountains. What's more, our family only has a tael of silver left after paying taxes. How much food can we buy?"

Mu Shi was immediately discouraged. His wife also needed to prepare a sum of money for childbirth. Last time when she gave birth to a son, it was very dangerous and she couldn't spend all the money in the family.

Shu Wanniang showed a smile, patted his hand, and said softly: "Pay the tax first, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, it's a big deal, we will just follow the people in the village."

"But your body..."

"My health is not as bad as you think," Shu Wanniang said with a smile, "I think it's not bad. With you protecting our mothers, we will live a better life than others." Shu Wanniang is not very worried. It was forced out.

Ten years ago, she would never have imagined that she would be able to cook, sell as a female celebrity, or even grow vegetables in the fields, and wash clothes by the river. At that time, thinking about it, she felt that such a life would be better than death.

But when the real thing happened, I felt that there was nothing wrong with this kind of life. I was tired physically, but satisfied mentally. After I got used to all this, I didn't even feel tired.

Now I feel that fleeing is very painful, but when it really comes, it shouldn't be difficult to accept it, Shu Wanniang has always been lenient.

Mu Shi has always been nervous about his wife's affairs, but he is not so optimistic, so he plans in his heart to go to the county town tomorrow to sell all the family's fur goods, and leave more money at home for emergency.

Mu Bowen was holding a copy of the "Three Character Classic" under the tree, shaking his head and reading, while Mu Yangling was sitting in front of the door listening to his parents' conversation in a daze.

What's the quickest way to make money?

Mu Yangling pondered with his knowledge and experience from his previous and previous lives, and came to the conclusion that the fastest way to get rich is to rob!

Mu Yangling twitched the corner of his mouth, threw away the thought, and sighed, leaving this profound question to his father to worry about.

Just now, she carefully counted the things she was good at with her fingers, and found that there was nothing except fighting. As for the various mechanical knowledge and knowledge about war that she learned in college, this has nothing to do with making money, not only has nothing to do with it , it can be said that the things she learned are not very useful in this era.

Mechanical manufacturing is based on fine steel forging and various sophisticated machines. As for war, she has learned modern and modern information warfare models. Give her a radio, and she may be able to modify the monitoring and communication function, but in What's the use now?

Guns and ammunition, given her time to explore, she might be able to make them, but making hot weapons in the era of cold weapons is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the people of this world, and she is not so frantic yet.

So, to sum up, she is useless except for fighting and hunting. When cooking, there is only one dish of stir-fried vegetables and scrambled eggs, or stir-fry, with only oil and salt.

Mu Yangling was ashamed, and felt that she had lived ashamed all her life, and she couldn't do anything for her family.

Just as Mu Yangling was feeling ashamed, Mu Bowen called out "Uncle" obediently.

When Mu Yangling came back to his senses, he saw Liu Daqian standing at the door, hesitating.

Liu Daqian and Mu Yangling's eyes met, they smiled awkwardly, and said, "Ah Ling, where are your parents?"

Mu Yangling hurriedly welcomed him in, "Uncle, my parents are in the house, come in quickly."

Mu Shi and Shu Wanniang in the room hurriedly put away the money when they heard the voice, Mu Shi handed the things to Shu Wanniang and said, "I'll go out to meet you."

Shu Wanniang nodded.

Liu Daqian is Mu Shi's biological uncle, so Mu Shi respectfully invited Liu Daqian into the house, and Shu Wanniang poured him a bowl of tea.

Liu Daqian went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He took a look at the furnishings in the Mu family's house, and saw that it was still the same as when his sister was alive. He didn't even buy a few tables and chairs. He sighed slightly, and he also knew that this nephew's life Not so good, although earning more, but also spending more.

Married a young lady, pampered and spoiled, the eldest daughter is not bad, but the son is a medicine jar, and he has to take medicine and see a doctor every day, but it is much better than their family.

Liu Daqian clenched his hands tightly, and it was difficult to open his mouth.

Mu Shi said: "Uncle, if you need anything, just tell me, and I will help you if you can." Liu Daqian didn't come to their house very often, and whenever he had anything to do, he would call his grandson and call Mu Shi to Liu. Everyone said that during the Chinese New Year holidays, they just asked the children below to come over to give gifts and return gifts. The last time I came was because Bowen was born, and he had successors.

Liu Daqian let out a sigh of relief, slumped his shoulders and said, "Shitou, are your family's taxes and money ready?"

"Yes, a wild boar fell into the trap this morning, so it was prepared."

Liu Daqian took a puff of dry cigarette, his face was slightly red, but he still said: "Your cousin's tax money hasn't been settled yet, and I know it's difficult for you. Uncle came here just to ask, if you have money here Just help them..."

Liu Daqian had never begged his nephew very much, so it was extremely difficult to speak to his nephew.

Mu Shi was a little surprised, "Uncle, don't your family pay food? Why do you have to pay taxes?"

Liu Daqian sighed, and said sadly: "This is not tax money, it is foot money. In the past, foot money was also food that can be paid, but this year the grain price has dropped by 10%, and the foot money is also required to be paid in silver. Today Early in the morning, your cousin went to Yuanwailang's house to inquire, and the price of the food was only four renminbi and eight cents a stone, which was nearly a penny less than last year, and we were reluctant to sell it cheaply."

Mu Shi jumped up in shock, "Why are there so few? I went to the town to buy rice today, and the rice would cost one, two or three coins..."
