Zhou Dalang and his brothers also lived in the small courtyard that Zhou Silang had recently rented. In the evening, the brothers gathered in a room to count silver, while Manbao and Zhou Lijun sat on the side, checking the accounts and calculating everyone's wages so that they could go home and distribute the money.
The brothers carefully stored all the silver ingots in carry pouches, and Zhou Dalang put the carry pouch in the middle of the bed. He decided to sleep with the silver that night.
Zhou Erlang and Zhou Silang discussed, "Big Brother and Third have visited all the nearby villages. We've basically reserved all the good wheat for seeds. After one more round, there won't be any left. If we want to buy more, we can only look to Old Master Bai."
