Chapter 17 Buying Land to Plant Sweet Potatoes_1

Five taels for a small silver ingot, arranged in a line, five to each line, two layers, a total of one hundred taels (sixteen taels to a pound, over six pounds).

"This is the profit from the past six months. As per the young lady's instructions, all the whole numbers have been made into silver ingots and the change is kept in the account."

Wei Ruo likes the hefty feel of silver, not the lightweight silver note, hence whenever the wet nurse brings in the shop's earnings, she always brings the weighty silver ingots.

In addition to the silver, the wet nurse also brought the account book for the shop's recent half-year.

There are also baskets of dried mushrooms that have been sun-dried.

"Brother Xiaoyong thought the young lady might not be used to the food here, so he specially brought some mushrooms that the young lady likes. They're all sun-dried, some of them were cooked in the way the young lady used to teach, all fried in oil and sealed in jars."
