Chapter 2095: Five Thousand Taels

Da Niu immediately nodded, "Yes, last year when you were away, we did give out New Year's bonuses, but they were just average, not impressive. However, the employees were very happy about it. This year, our business has been good, so let's make everyone happy."

"Leave some working capital in the accounts." Shu Yu pondered as she spoke, "Yes, aside from these, the rest will be our shares."

Shu Yu thought for a moment and continued, "Mmm, excluding these expenses, the remaining amount is our share. I've calculated it, and it's a total of five thousand taels."

Da Niu held his breath as he stared at the numbers on the paper, taking a while to react.

After a good while, he finally said, "All of this belongs to my share?"

"Of course."

Da Niu continued to stare at the numbers for a long time, then grinned.

He had certainly seen large sums of money before, but that money belonged to the workshop, and he only handled it. This was his own money, to be used at his discretion, and the concept was completely different.

If this had been four years ago, no, even three years ago, Da Niu would have never imagined that he would have five thousand taels of silver in his lifetime.

Back in Shishi Village, the most he had dared to dream about was making a hundred taels in his entire life, which would already be an extraordinary achievement.

Now, how many times was that one hundred taels...

Shu Yu counted the silver notes and handed them to him, "Take it. Now that we have some extra funds, you can think about what you want to do, like buying a house or shop. Whatever you decide."

Da Niu grinned, "I haven't figured out what to do with this money yet. I'll discuss it with your sister-in-law when I go back later. I could save it, or maybe use it as an early dowry for our daughter."

"Xiao Zao is not even two years old yet," Shu Yu said with a twitch of her mouth.

"She'll grow up quickly. Children grow like weeds. It's better to start preparing early."

Shu Yu sighed, not saying much more, and put her share of the money into another box before tidying up. "Alright, the money is distributed. Let the managers know. We'll have a big dinner on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month and give everyone a bonus."

After a pause, she added, "We didn't do much in the past two years. This time, let's make it bigger. Family members can come too."

"Alright."

Da Niu pocketed his silver notes and went out to find the managers, instructing them for a bit.

"When you count, see how many people are coming and prepare accordingly."

The managers nodded repeatedly. Although the boss said that family members could come, and didn't even specify how many, they understood that it couldn't be too casual. Nowadays, some families have five or six, or even ten or more people. If they heard that there was a free banquet to attend, and they brought their entire family along, what would they do?

Therefore, after discussing among themselves, they decided to allow one family member per person and children under six.

Once they settled on this, they consulted Da Niu's opinion. Da Niu agreed, "Let's go with this plan. You count the number of people."

The stewards agreed and immediately went to inform the workshop. All the workers were excited and cheered when they heard the news.

Hearing the cheers from inside, Da Niu smiled. It was a good time to leave, so he headed back to the village to tell his wife about the silver notes.
