"That's right," Zheng Changhe said. "Don't worry about the silver, dear. If Juhua hadn't sold that recipe, what would we have done? We'd be getting by just the same. And the money we're using to build this house came from selling that recipe anyway."
Mrs. Yang smiled. "I was being petty. I'm always thinking about how to save, but I should be thinking more about how to earn silver. Once the house is built, it'll be much easier to feed the pigs and chickens. And we made a good bit of money from the eggs this year. Raising chickens and ducks is definitely worth it."
Zheng Changhe nodded, then turned to Qingmu. "How about we go take a look at the brickyard over in Xiatang Market one of these days?"
"Okay!" Qingmu said. "The village chief told me we should go to the Zhang family's brickyard. He said their green bricks and small tiles are quite good."
