Zhao Dahuo took Zhao Erhu aside and lectured him, saying that it was enough for Zhao Erhu to distribute the usual wages received by others; even if he gave a bit more, thirty coins would be more than sufficient.
"Big brother, I understand what you mean, but I have my reasons for giving out so much. Everyone has been working wholeheartedly these past few days, busy from dawn till dusk and quite exhausted. I also made a tidy profit this time. If you had come to the market to sell zongzi with me, you'd know that one can sell for twenty to thirty coins each. We made quite a bit from all those zongzi. The helpers are the relatives and friends my wife and I are closest to. If I'm eating meat, it's only right that I let them have a sip of the soup," Zhao Erhu said this while feeling happy to see his older brother thinking of him. Nevertheless, he and his wife had discussed it and had other considerations, which were not convenient to mention at the moment.
