Chapter 24 Chicken Mushroom

The original body was obsessed with reading, and his parents were the head of the family, so they never managed the family's money.

Zhang Beiting did have some experience in financial management, but that was modern times, everything was digitized, and even buying breakfast was paid by scanning a code.

The seventy-six taels of silver brought back from the Song family, plus the eight or nine taels they saved themselves, could be exchanged for silver notes.

But after being poor for so long, Zhang Beiting felt that it would be safer to keep the white silver around.

Song Yanqing said: "Look carefully, there should be a place to put silver in the room."

The room where Zhang Beiting slept was where Zhang's parents lived before. Generally, the housekeeper's room would have a secret place to hide silver.

"Let's go find it together." Zhang Beiting said.

He picked up the box with one hand and pulled Song Yanqing up from the chair with the other hand.

The two knocked and banged in the room, searching for a long time, and knocked on a hollow place under Zhang Beiting's bed.

Zhang Beiting pushed the blue brick there, and it was movable.

He and Song Yanqing looked at each other, and the two moved all the bricks there, and an unlocked wooden box appeared.

After opening the lid of the wooden box, it was empty inside, with only two keys left.

This should be where Zhang's parents hid their money before.

Zhang Beiting put all the 76 taels he brought back from the Song family into it, and added 4 taels of his own earnings to make up 80 taels.

After locking the box and putting the blue bricks back, he handed the key to Song Yanqing, "One for each of us."

Song Yanqing hesitated.

"Two keys. I think my parents also had one each." Zhang Beiting smiled and put the key in Song Yanqing's hand, "We do the same."

"Okay." Song Yanqing took the key and nodded seriously.

Song Yanqing cooked lunch, and Zhang Beiting sat by the stove to light the fire.

The two chatted intermittently.

"Let's go to the broker tomorrow morning and ask the broker to help keep an eye out for small shops near South Street." Zhang Beiting said.

Eighty taels, a smaller shop should be able to be bought.

It's just that in order to reduce the loss of old customers, the shop they bought cannot be too far away from the original stall, which is more troublesome.

Greet the broker early, if there is a suitable one, the broker can also tell them earlier.

"Okay." Song Yanqing also wanted to use the money to buy a shop, so that they can set up a stall even on rainy days.

They had to go out of the city to visit the graves. After lunch, the two did not rest. They carried a pot of boiled water and went out in the hot sun.

They went to Tang Shitou's house first and told Aunt Sun that she didn't have to work today. Then they went to buy some incense, candles, paper money and offerings.

The weather was very hot. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Zhang couple's cemetery was, Zhang Beiting said, "Let's drink some water and rest for a while before going up."
