Daming female local tyrant

Standing in front of Shen Wan and Jing Lan, Mrs. Zhou explained with an extremely ugly face that her father-in-law and husband-in-law had already made up their minds to join the eldest lady, but who would have thought that the second master would forge two letters privately, saying yes? His father-in-law wrote it after discussing it with Liu Shiming, which dragged his father-in-law into the water.Later, the second master sent Dong Guanshi to Jinhe Town to find his father-in-law first, and offered 3000 taels of silver to buy his father-in-law and Liu Shiming.He also said that if they did not cooperate with the second master to act in front of the old lady, they would be unlucky.His father-in-law thought that since he had been dragged into the water, he would not be able to be the head of the village, and if he didn't listen to the second master, his family would go bankrupt, so he had no choice but to agree to him.

"... Both my father-in-law and my husband-in-law felt sorry for the eldest lady. I was about to leave Suzhou, so they asked me to come and talk to the girl. Not for anything else, just to remind the girl, the second master is very popular. Thinking about it, it's because he doesn't want to make Missy feel better." Zhou finally said.

Shen Wan and Jing Lan didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Do you want to thank Mrs. Zhou for saying this? On the one hand, her father-in-law Qi Yunping was really kind, but he took money from the second master and helped him act in front of the old lady. Now he came back to them to say these things , isn't this an afterthought?

Shen Wan thought for a while and said: "Go back and tell your father-in-law, thank you for his kind reminder. But I don't know where you are going when you leave Suzhou this time?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "My father-in-law and Mr. Xianggong said that we can't stay in Suzhou, and I'm afraid Jinling can't stay any longer. We can only go to Jinan Mansion, where there are relatives from the Qi family."

Shen Wan asked again: "Oh, when are you going to leave?"

Mrs. Zhou: "I'm tidying up now. I'll leave when the goods in the cloth shop are sold at a low price, and the shops are also sold."

Shen Wan's heart moved when she heard the words, thinking of the bustling place Qijia Cloth Shop is in the middle of the town, the shop has four fronts, three floors at the bottom, two floors facing the street, and bedrooms, wing rooms, kitchens, etc. at the back, if you buy it and use it for making The satin shop is just right.

"I don't know how much silver your shop sells?" Shen Wan asked Mrs. Zhou.

"Miss, want to buy it?" Zhou asked unexpectedly.

Shen Wan nodded: "I'll listen to it and buy it if the price is right."

Mrs. Zhou immediately said that her father-in-law bought the store eight years ago for 240 taels of silver. If Shen Wan wanted to buy it, his father-in-law could pay less.

After hearing this, Shen Wan felt that the house was still worth the money, and that was the price eight years ago. If she bought it now, it should be more expensive.

"The price doesn't have to be less. In this way, you go back and tell your father-in-law that if he is willing to sell your shop to me for 240 taels, then he will bring the deed of the house someday, and then find a middleman. I will buy your shop." That shop."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and talk to my father-in-law."

Shen Wan asked Jing Lan to send the happy Zhou family away, and when Jing Lan came back, she smiled and said to her: "I didn't expect to find a shop to open a silk shop, and Zhou family came to the door. The Qi family cloth shop It should be changed into a silk and satin shop, [-]% of the goods in the shop are all kinds of cloth, [-]% are all kinds of silk and satin clothing, and one of the four fronts can be used to collect silkworm cocoons."

Jing Lan said: "It's because of the girl's kindness that she can get such good rewards. However, I heard that the girl has to do so many kinds of business, how can there be so many people?"

Shen Wan said: "It's just hiring someone, but the shopkeeper needs to find a capable shopkeeper from elsewhere. It's a pity that the old lady didn't ask the Shen family to help me, otherwise it would be easy for my father to send a capable shopkeeper. Nowadays, I can only go to the Tao family for help, and ask them to find a skilled person to be my shopkeeper, and take you along, and when you get started, you will be in charge of the shop from now on."

"I'll take care of it? Can I do it?" When Jing Lan heard that Shen Wan asked her to take care of the silk shop that was about to open, she couldn't help but eager to try, but she still expressed modesty, saying that she was afraid that she would not be able to handle it.

Shen Wan pursed her lips, and said: "This is not to tell you to get started right away. You can't do it until a year or two after you want to get started. Just learn from others first. It's not easy to be a shopkeeper of a profitable silk shop."

Jing Lan rubbed her hands, giggling: "Well, then I'll learn from others. But, girl, you took over the Qijia cloth shop, why do you still need silkworm cocoons? How much are silkworm cocoons and satin cloth?"

Shen Wan told Jing Lan that silkworm cocoons are naturally less profitable than silk and satin cloth, but if you want to be a good shopkeeper of a silk and satin shop, you must start with collecting silkworm cocoons, knowing what kind of silkworm cocoons can make silk factories produce good silk.

Only with good silk can we weave good silk and satin, and only good silk can be sold at a good price.

Jing Lan admitted that she knew nothing about silkworm cocoons, even the silk and satin fabrics, so she was looking forward to Qi Yunping selling the Qijia cloth shop to Shen Wan soon, and taking over the Qijia's shop. To start, learn the silk industry well.

Mrs. Zhou went back and told her father-in-law Qi Yunping and her husband Qi Zhong that she had met Shen Wan in the Shen family's old house. She mentioned that Shen Wan wanted to buy the Qi family's store, and she did not lower the price even when she raised the price herself.

Qi Yunping said: "Then sell our shop to the eldest lady. Since she is straightforward and doesn't lower the price, I think the remaining cloth in our shop can be given to her. We can pack up and go on the road earlier."

Qi Zhong also agreed to do so.

So the next day, the father and son brought the deed to the house, hired an old man in the town to be a middleman, and sold the Qi family shop to Shen Wan at a price of 240 taels.And it was also written in the deed that the cloth in the store worth tens of taels of silver would be transferred to Shen Wan along with the store.

Qi Yunping finally said that he hoped that the business would flourish after Shen Wan took over the Qi family shop, and if possible, he hoped that one day he could do things for Shen Wan.

Shen Wan also said some face-saving things, such as wishing them a smooth journey, arriving in Jinan safely, and living a good life there in the future.

After Qi Yunping sold the Qi family shop to Shen Wan, Liu Shiming knew about it, so he also asked someone to ask Shen Wan if he wanted to buy a field. He had 12 mu of good farmland in his hand, and he was willing to pay ten taels of silver per mu. Sell ​​it to Shen Wan.This price is [-] taels less than the price of [-] taels for the same fertile land.

Shen Wan refused, saying that she would not buy the land.

When Jing Lan found out, of course she had to ask why she bought Qi Yunping's store and not Liu Shiming's fertile land.Isn't it necessary to earn 100 taels for buying fifty acres of fertile land?

Shen Wan poked her head and laughed at her for being a little fool.

She said that their silk shop will open soon, and they will start collecting silkworm cocoons, which will require a lot of cash.Although Manager Wei only sent 500 taels of silver, they had a total of 500 taels of silver in their hands. If they used it to buy a field, they would spend 400 taels, and the remaining [-] taels would not be able to be sold.

The same 500 taels of silver are used for business and for buying fields, and the final money earned is very different.Silver actually has legs, the faster it runs, the more interest it generates.

When Shen Wan said this, Jing Lan instantly understood that her girl's idea of ​​making money was not much different from what she knew before she wore it.Doing business requires working capital, the more abundant the working capital, the better, and the faster the rolling, the better.

Shen Wan also said that she didn't trust Liu Shiming at all, who knew if she would fall into the trap if she bought his field.For example, it was deliberately arranged by her second uncle, and there will be another explanation at that time.

Based on all these, she would not buy Liu Shiming's field.

She is willing to deal with Qi Yunping, and feels that although this person is cunning, he still has a bit of conscience, which can be seen from the fact that he sent his daughter-in-law to remind Shen Wan that she was framed by her second uncle.

She even thought that as long as she had contact with Qi Yunping, she might be able to use him one day.Because his second uncle made a fake letter to report on him, Qi Yunping is very clear.

So four or five days later, when the Qi family left Donghe Town for Jinan, she sent Jing Lan and two servants to see them off, and revealed the meaning of letting the Qi family settle down in Jinan and write to them.Qi Yunping and others are eager to have contact with Shen Wan, because this at least shows that they will still have the opportunity to work for the Shen family in the future, and it is like another way for them.

Therefore, Qi Yunping immediately agreed, saying that after Jinan settled down, he would definitely write to Shen Wan.

After taking over the Qi family's cloth shop, Shen Wan personally took Jing Lan to count the cloth in the shop and the goods in the back warehouse.

She told Jinglan what the names and colors of these cloths were, where they were produced, how much they cost, and how much they could be sold for.

Jing Lan took a pen and an account book to record in detail, and also cut a small piece with scissors and pasted it next to the record, so that it can be easily read and identified at any time.

It took them two days just to clean up the quantity and color of the cloth in the Qijia cloth shop.

The servant, Ping An and Ping Fu, and Cui Zhu and the two little maids, Ji Jiao and Bai Ju, also went with them. They were in charge of cleaning and tidying up the Qi family cloth shop.

Shen Wan personally wrote a signboard and hung it in front of the store to collect silkworm cocoons.

She handed over the weighing to the two servants, then sat in the shop and personally priced the incoming silkworm cocoons, and handed it over to Jing Lan how to distinguish the quality of the silkworm cocoons.

In a few days, Jing Lan will be able to identify good and bad silkworm cocoons, as well as how much they are worth.

So, she asked Shen Wan to stay in the old house to rest, and asked Cui Zhu to bring Platycodon grandiflorum back to accompany her, while she, two servants and Bai Ju were in charge of collecting silkworm cocoons in the store.

After being busy for five or six days in a row, Shen Wan couldn't take it anymore. After all, she still retched from time to time and her appetite was not good.She was also afraid that if she was exhausted, it would be bad for the baby in her stomach.So I agreed to let Jing Lan be in charge of collecting silkworm cocoons, and I planned to write a letter to Tao Yuanxin, and took over a shop by myself. If I want to do silk and satin business, I need a shopkeeper who is very familiar with the business, and I want to get money from him. Let me talk about the meaning of selling some goods.

He was holding a pen, but before he finished writing, Zhao Siniang came in and reported that a carriage had arrived from Suzhou City, and a few women and a young lady got out of the carriage. They said they were from the Tao family and came to visit Shen Wan.

As soon as Shen Wan heard it, she knew it was Tao Yuanxin's wife, his two daughters-in-law, and his daughter Tao Yuehua.

"It's a coincidence that they came. This way, I won't have to write a letter, Mrs. Zhao, I'll go to greet them in person." Shen Wan put down her pen, stood up and said.

The author has something to say: I will announce the thank you list of the business solution in the middle of the month and once at the end of the month.

I am very grateful whether it is throwing thunder nutrient solution or leaving a comment.
