After he sent everyone off, Zhou Boming told his son to close the door and went to the backyard to count the money with his family.
Following Yao Zhi's request, they didn't increase the price. Soy sauce was 2 taels of silver per jin, and fish sauce was 5 taels of silver per jin.
In less than an hour, they made a total of 4,100 taels of silver. According to their agreement, Zhou Boming got 10% and thus earned 410 taels of silver. Yao Zhi earned 3,690 taels of silver.
After deducting the "tea money" for the guards, they still earned 408 taels of silver. Zhou Boming and his family were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths closed.
He handed the money to his wife and said, "Wife, you keep this money. The exam will be held after the sacrificial ceremony. Keep part of the money for Ziyuan's study."
Liu Meihua accepted the money and nodded. "I understand."
