Lucky husband

Sure enough, by the time Jiang Zhiyun finished frying the dishes and brought them out, Mrs. Li's anger had subsided, and everyone had lunch together an hour later than usual.

Not long after the meal, Li Chengzhi and his group came back. On the way back to the village, Li Chengzhi broke up what happened at noon today and told his wife and cousin to let them know that their stall was almost hit by an accident today. What.

Although he had tried his best to suppress his anger, Li Chengzhi still couldn't suppress his anger when he spoke again, and what he said was somewhat personal.

Bai Xiuhe and Li Caoye were stunned, because they both believed what Li Chengzhi said at that time, and there were so many guests waiting to eat rice noodles at that time, so they forgot about that little episode as soon as they got busy.

It really made them never expect that the truth of the matter is like this?How can people's hearts be so bad? The noodle seller next door greeted them cheerfully every day.

After being surprised, they didn't bother to get angry. They felt that it would be cheaper to deal with it at noon. Li Chengzhi hurriedly analyzed his thoughts and the situation at the time, and after a lot of talking, he finally gave the two angry women Calmed down, let them wait and see what happens to the selling noodles.

So when they got home, the emotions on both sides had calmed down.

After arriving home, Li Chengzhi first helped Bai Xiuhe to boil the soup base for tomorrow, and he was not in such a hurry to do other things. He hurriedly took his wife to find Jiang Zhiyun, the third younger sibling, and talked about what happened to him after the incident happened today. new idea.

Li Chengzhi's idea coincided with Jiang Zhiyun's to a certain extent. He wanted to rent a shop in the county town and continue the rice noodle business steadily.

He thought about it, because of manpower, they can't push three trolleys, so in winter they can only sell rice noodles of two flavors. There are few trolleys, and the amount of broth and rice noodles that can be brought is naturally limited. Basically, they buy them after noon every day. It should be settled.

If there is a stable shop in the county, they can not only prepare an extra soup, but also make as many rice noodles as they want, and sell them from morning to night, which will definitely make more money than the current stall, and the people are less. I will be as tired as I am now, and I don’t need to get up early in the morning to push the cart so far.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at the sister-in-law whose eyes widened because of her elder brother's words, who seemed to be ignorant of the proposal, coughed lightly, and brought up her thoughts: "Instead of spending money to rent a shop, I think it's better to buy a shop." .”

After listening to Li Mingjin talk about his dream in the morning, Jiang Zhiyun was thinking about how to persuade her eldest brother and sister-in-law to buy a shop. They want to do business for a long time, and renting a shop is expensive and not cost-effective. It is equivalent to earning money for others. , Buying a shop can be used by oneself now, and if you don’t do business in the future, you can rent it or sell it, and you won’t lose money.

With a plan in mind, Jiang Zhiyun settled a bill with Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe.

The first is the income of their rice noodle stalls. Calculated according to the usual business, the rice noodles of several flavors can be sold together for about 250 bowls. On average, a bowl of rice noodles can earn three Wen, which can earn 22 taels a month. After deducting the money given to the government by setting up a stall in the county, the money for fetching water for the owner of the well, and Li Caoye’s wages, the result is almost 20 taels of silver.

Depending on the location and size of the shops in the county, the monthly rent ranges from three taels to tens of taels. If you want to do business well, you must choose a good location, preferably close to the previous stall. South Gate, but because they only sell rice noodles and don't need a large shop, they can choose a small one, and the rent should be between six taels and eight taels.

If there is no big change in the business after renting the shop, it means that out of the 20 taels of silver in hand, about seven taels of silver will be deducted as the rent of the shop. After a month of hard work, you can only earn twelve or thirty taels of silver. It's almost half less. Even if you can sell more rice noodles and earn more money because of having a shop, it's because of the hard money you have to earn from morning to night.

After finishing the calculation of renting the shop, Jiang Zhiyun asked Li Chengzhi and the others if they could accept such a gap.

Before, Li Chengzhi didn't have the time to think about what it would be like to rent a shop. He simply thought that there would be many customers eating rice noodles. If he had a shop, the business wouldn't be bad. After Jiang Zhiyun's analysis, he also found the problem.

Before going out to do business with her husband, Jiang Zhiyun said such a series of numbers would definitely make Bai Xiuhe dizzy. After going out to exercise for so long, Bai Xiuhe became more sensitive to numbers. After earning a lot of money, I suddenly shook my head faster than a rattle.

For those who have no money to buy a shop, renting a shop is indeed a better way. In some not-so-good locations, renting a small shop is not expensive, and there are still many people who will live directly In the shop, the money for renting a house is saved, which is actually not too expensive.

Since renting a shop is unreliable, the only thing left is to buy a shop. If it was two years ago, Jiang Zhiyun would not even have thought about buying a shop. How could they afford so much money.

Buying a shop can cost as little as four or fifty taels, and as much as hundreds or thousands of taels. If the Li family’s wealth is emptied, they can buy a small and poor shop, which is almost impossible to use for food business.

After careful consideration, Jiang Zhiyun's idea was that the two of them could get together and buy a shop worth about 300 taels.

Most of the food and drink in the village depend on the production in the field and there is not much money to spend. The usual expenses of the family are enough to sell the embroidery she made by herself, and there is still some left over, which can not only buy some for the family It can also be used to honor the elderly and visit relatives and friends during festivals.

Therefore, in the past two years, Li Chengshi's monthly money, Jiang Zhiyun, has been saved. The monthly money has risen from three taels of silver to five taels of silver, and now it is exactly 120 taels.

In addition, Jiang Zhiyun also has the 40% bonus from the rice noodle stall that she gets every month. From the beginning of receiving it to now, she has saved more than [-] taels.

Not counting the money given to them for the third room when the family was separated, Jiang Zhiyun had more than 160 taels of cash in hand. If she wanted to buy a shop with around 300 taels, that would be enough for half of it.

Jiang Zhiyun said her thoughts and the amount of money she could get out, Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe were silent, they felt that buying a shop seemed to be a reliable thing after hearing what their younger siblings said.

If the money stays the same, there will always be only so much money, and it will gradually decrease due to various expenses. It is different after buying a shop, and the shop will not change there.Moreover, the shop itself is valuable and will slowly increase over time. Although this change is small, it always exists.

To be precise, not only shops, but houses and fields are the same. Li Chengzhi remembered that when he was a child, the paddy field here was nine taels of silver per mu, but now it has risen to ten taels. Appreciate slowly, more convenient than silver.

The question now is whether their eldest family has so much money in their hands. After the separation, the eldest family followed the two elders, and Bai Xiuhe returned the silver, land deeds, and land deeds to Old Madam Li.

Granny Li put them away unceremoniously, but she didn't want the money earned from the rice noodle stall. She asked Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe to keep them for the children in the future.

In order to buy food during the drought last year, Bai Xiuhe took some money and used it to buy food for Granny Li. When the drought was over, Granny Li took the opportunity to sell some of the food at a high price, and she made a fortune for herself. Said that he returned a lot of money to his two daughters-in-law.

Because they got up early and went to bed late to do business, Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe haven't counted the money in their hands so far, but they know that there must be a lot of money, at least one hundred and twenty or thirty taels.

If they really decide to buy a shop, the husband and wife and the family of the third brother and his wife can pay half of it. If they don't have enough money, they will first ask their parents to borrow it, and buy it as soon as they find a suitable shop.

The more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the more excited he became, he wished he could go back immediately and check how much money they had, so he pulled Bai Xiuhe: "Third siblings, let's go back twice to see how much money we can get out, let's talk about it later. "

Because there was no time to calculate, Li Chengzhi and the others hid this month's money in an inconspicuous corner after dividing the accounts every month. Now they wanted to find all the money, so they had to search the whole room. , Finally, fourteen cloth bags containing silver were found. There should have been seventeen bags of silver, but three bags of silver were taken out by them, leaving only fourteen bags.

Unpacking the remaining cloth bags one by one, and piled them up in different weights, the two couples calculated for a while, and finally added up to a total of more than 140 taels, which was more than expected.

This is not counting the money they keep in their hands. The money they have in their hands is the cost of buying rice noodles, pork bones, fresh fish, ducks, and vegetables every month.

"Enough is enough!" Bai Xiuhe lowered her voice, looking very excited at the white silver on the bed.

The combined money of the two families is enough to buy a good shop. If they have a shop in the county, will they be able to become city dwellers?Just thinking about Bai Xiuhe like this makes her excited.

Li Chengzhi thinks more. Buying a shop is the biggest expense. After buying the shop, he has to reinstall it, build a stove suitable for them to sell rice noodles, cook two more casserole pots, and find a carpenter to remake tables, chairs and benches. There is no need to change the bowls and chopsticks used, but the quantity may need to be increased...

After doing some calculations, Li Chengzhi reckoned that the two brothers only had enough money to buy a shop, and they had to borrow money from their parents if they wanted to do anything else.

After hiding all the money in a place where it is not easy to be found, Li Chengzhi pulled Bai Xiuhe and then went to the left room to look for Jiang Zhiyun: "Third brothers and sisters, we can buy a shop, we can take out 140 taels, and we will look at it in detail when we have a shop to buy." How much will it cost, if 140 taels is not enough, I will borrow some from my parents, and our two families will pay half of the money."

Jiang Zhiyun nodded happily: "That's just right, big brother, remember to talk to your mother when you're busy, you have to find a shop in the county to buy a shop, if you come across a suitable shop, you can go to see it with Brother Shi later."

The yaman in the ya shop is used to watching the dishes. Seeing that you are a country boy who understands, don’t deliberately talk about the market and raise the price. Take them as a fool, and be more serious when introducing the shop, and dare not mess around.

Li Chengzhi understood Jiang Zhiyun's hint, nodded and pulled Bai Xiuhe, who didn't quite understand, to leave. There is no rush to buy a shop today, and now they have to pack up the things they will use when they open the stall tomorrow.

Jiang Zhiyun was the only one left in the main room on the left side. She went back to the room to see if Li Mingkang had woken up. Looking at her son's side face sleeping soundly, she was a little dazed. What happened in the past two years after the separation It usually runs through her mind.

When the family was just separated, Li Chengshi once mentioned that his family would go to the county town and rent a yard in the county town so that the family would not have to separate. At that time, because of insufficient money, this idea was shelved.

But their husband and wife are capable. Li Chengshi's monthly income has increased, and Jiang Zhiyun doesn't have to help a large family make clothes. The embroidery is getting better and better, and the price is getting higher and higher. With a small population, there is no place to spend money, and they are not prodigal, so the money needed to move to the county has long been spent.

But as the money in her hands increased, Jiang Zhiyun also had greater ambitions. She didn't want to rent a house. She planned to save enough money to buy a house in the county town and then move there. It happened that Kang'er was older and could send him to the county town for more. With the opening of a good private school, Brother Jin will have more choices to see his in-laws.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and the money saved in the past two years will be used to buy a shop first.
