Chapter 12 Affectionate friendship in my heart, transformed into a host
Wang Yueying couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the surprised expressions of the three of them.
Cuihua took Wang Yueying's hand and said eagerly: "You are still laughing, this is not a joke, you have to think clearly, this is just in case, just in case"
"Sister Cuihua." Wang Yueying took her hand, looked at the village chief and Miao, and said seriously, "I'm serious." ”
"But this is a female household, what can I do if something happens in the future?" Cuihua looked anxious.
According to the rules of the kingdom, unmarried women and widows can set up their own doors, similar to the old self-combing women, who need to work by themselves to support themselves and their children, cannot rely on the help of the clan, and cannot die in their mother's family when they are old. Of course, the difference with a self-combing girl is that you can still marry after setting up a female household, but before you get married, you must leave your property to your parents and children.
This is hard for others to accept, given that this is a patriarchal society and few women have the courage to take on the responsibility of taking care of their own lives, let alone raising children. But Wang Yueying doesn't think there is anything, in the modern era of equality between men and women, these are ordinary things.
"Sister Cuihua, don't worry." Wang Yueying comforted, "The establishment of a female household is also for convenience, and it will not have any impact." ”
"Since you've decided, let's go to the government office tomorrow to do all these things." The village chief glanced at Wang Yueying, sighed and said.
"Old man, this" Miao opened his mouth to say something.
"Okay, then call Shouzhong to help you measure the land now." Before Miao could speak, the village chief interrupted.
The price of wasteland is not expensive, Wang Yueying thought that she could set up a factory near her home in the future, and the purchase of this land is permanent, unlike modern times and pay attention to the term of property rights, so she simply spent 50 taels of silver to buy a large piece of land.
50 taels of silver is enough for a large family to live for four or five years, although Chen Shouzhong was very curious about how Wang Yueying could have so much money, but he didn't say anything and folded the silver ticket and put it in his arms. When Wang Yueying went to pour tea, she put the one or two pieces of silver she had forced over on the table and left secretly.
Wang Yueying went to the county government with the village chief the next day to handle the land deed and the female household, and stuffed the money for the people in the county government in advance, and it was very convenient to do things. Wang Yueying looked at the red official seal on it, and then put her heart in her stomach.
"Village Chief, I'm really bothering you." Wang Yueying bowed to the village chief.
"It's okay, it's okay. These are as they should be. The village chief waved his hand, "Are you going back?" ”
"I'm going to go buy some more things and rent an ox cart later." Next, if you plan to build a house, you need to buy some vegetables first.
"Okay, then I'll go back first. Be careful alone. After the village chief finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Yueying and said seriously: "Trustworthy daughter-in-law, although you have established a female household now, after all, it is inconvenient to be alone, so if you have anything, just come to your uncle." ”
"Okay, thank you, uncle." Wang Yueying tried to blink her eyes to force back her tears, and replied with a smile, the words of the village chief made Wang Yueying feel even more that she was a part of this village.
The last time Wang Yueying heard Yang Dashan mention wine, she planned to start some wine business. With your own children, it is definitely inconvenient to open a food shop, if it is alcohol, as long as you make it at home. The more Wang Yueying thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible, and some time ago, she ran to the space as soon as she was free, and even Ryoma annoyed her, but fortunately, the emperor lived up to her wishes and asked her to find a book about all kinds of wine.
In this era, wine is more expensive than oil, and if you plan to make wine, you must need a lot of silver. Part of the money from selling recipes has been used to buy land, and then there is some money to build a house, and the rest of the money is definitely not enough, so I went to Piaoxianglou today to see if there is any possibility of continuing to cooperate.
"Yueniang is here, please come in. How do you have time to come over today? Unconsciously walked to the door of Piaoxiang Building, and Shopkeeper Cai saw Wang Yueying hurriedly coming out.
"Shopkeeper Cai, long time no see." Wang Yueying saw Shopkeeper Cai's red face, and thought to herself that with Shopkeeper Cai's service attitude, it would be strange that the business of Piaoxianglou was not good. "I have something to look for Master Cai, is he there?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Wait a minute. When the shopkeeper Cai heard Wang Yueying say that he had something to do with the owner, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he turned around and called Xiao Er to take Wang Yueying upstairs. The benefits brought by spring bamboo shoots to Piaoxianglou may not be clear to others, but this shopkeeper Cai is clear. A few days ago, Yang Dashan said that the spring bamboo shoots were almost gone, and he was anxious about this matter. I also wanted to ask Wang Yueying if there were any other recipes, so she came, isn't this just dozing off and sending pillows. Shopkeeper Cai looked at Wang Yueying's back and muttered happily, this is the God of Wealth.
"Eh, Yueniang, you can come." As soon as Wang Yueying entered the door, Cai Hong greeted her.
"Master Cai." Wang Yueying gave a salute and said, "Yueniang took the liberty to come to visit, and I bothered you." ”
"No problem." Master Cai waved his hand and said, "You and I are also acquaintances, so you don't have to be so polite." I was just going to look for you, too. ”
"That's what I'm here for today." Wang Yueying is not a person who likes to sell Guanzi, and she has also cooperated with Cai Hong for a while, knowing that he is not a treacherous businessman, she paused and continued, "Presumably Master Cai is also looking for me for the spring bamboo shoots. ”
"Yes." Master Cai picked up the teacup and took a sip, "My Piaoxiang Building is not only Yuanhe Town. The bamboo shoots were very popular before, and I also want to know what this spring bamboo shoots are. But don't worry, in the future, the spring bamboo shoots in Yuanhe Town will still be purchased from you, and I will also give you a sum of money. ”
"I can sue you for what this spring bamboo shoot is." The spring bamboo shoots that were sent to the restaurant before were all processed, so they still don't know that the spring bamboo shoots are what they often call small bamboo.
Wang Yueying saw Shopkeeper Cai's excited look on his face, and continued, "You don't have to give me money. I want to continue to work with Mr. Cai. You know that it is inconvenient for me to open a shop as a woman to do business, if Master Cai is willing, I can provide Piaoxianglou with a few recipes every month. ”
Cai Hong heard Wang Yueying say this, but his heart calmed down: "How do you plan to cooperate?" He knew that Wang Yueying dared to say this, it must be conditional, and he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Wang Yueying paused, and then said: "I want the thirty percent profit of Yuanhe Town Piaoxiang Building." "Wang Yueying is not a greedy person, and a lion may not be able to eat good things when he opens his mouth. The recipe can be used by Piaoxianglou all over the country, but he only needs this yuan and thirty percent of the town.
Cai Hong was ready for heavy bleeding, but Wang Yueying's request greatly surprised him, and he smiled: "Do you know how many Piaoxiang Buildings are in the country?" As long as Yuanhe Town's family is profitable, they will regret it. ”
"Although I don't know how many Piaoxiang Buildings there are in the country, I know that the income of Piaoxiang Lou in Yuanhe Town will definitely not be bad." I also borrowed the momentum of space, and people's pursuit of food is endless. In the past, different people in different places and different places have different definitions of food, and there are also various innovations and inventions. Even if you don't have your own recipe, there will be other different recipes, and they will also attract people, so I don't want to get much benefit from it.
Cai Hong smiled proudly when he heard Wang Yueying's recognition of Piaoxianglou, although his goal of establishing Piaoxianglou at the beginning was not to simply make money, but the long-term operation made him have feelings for Piaoxianglou and regarded it as a son: "I can give you forty percent of the profit, and the recipe is still the same as before, one hundred taels of silver." You don't have to refuse, the buy-one-get-two-free and door-to-door delivery method you said before also made me a lot of profits. It's not just a matter of thinking about it. I often have to make rounds and soon leave Yuanhe Town. If you take this forty percent profit, you can be regarded as half of the owner of Piaoxiang Building in Yuanhe Town. In the future, if there is anything going on in this Piaoxiang Building, you have to deal with it with Shopkeeper Cai. ”
Wang Yueying thought for a while and said: "Yes, but I think Shopkeeper Cai has the ability to take charge alone, if there is a need, I will do my best." ”
"Good. That's it. Cai Hong held the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile, "Then we will sign the contract now." ”
Cai Hong recruited Cai's shopkeeper to be a witness, and it didn't take long to write the contract, and Wang Yueying signed her name without any problem. Shopkeeper Cai took out a thousand taels of silver tickets and handed them to Wang Yueying: "Second owner, this is the money for this recipe." ”
"Shopkeeper Cai, you still call me Yueying as before." The title of the second owner always makes her feel weird, maybe she hasn't adapted to this new identity yet. "You first show the recipe to Master Tu, let him see it, and ask me if he has any questions. There is another thing that wants to trouble Shopkeeper Cai. ”
"The second owner doesn't like me to call me that, but I can't call you by your name, so I'll call you Yueniang. If you have something to do in the future, you can do it, and I will do it. "Shopkeeper Cai has already identified Wang Yueying as the owner, and he has used honorifics.
"Okay, then I want you to leave you in the future, you, called, okay?"
Shopkeeper Cai looked embarrassed and responded with a smile.
"I think you already know that I am a widow and there is no one in my family. I want to buy a few people who can sign the death deed. "I often have to be busy, I can't always take care of Xun'er and the museum, although the children are very sensible, but I still have to find someone to take care of it, I can rest assured.
"Well, I happen to know a toothyman." Shopkeeper Cai said, "But if you want to buy the death deed, I just know that someone is planning to sell his body, or Hetou Village." ”
"Oh? Hetou Village's? "I haven't heard Sister Cuihua mention this recently, probably she doesn't know, "Who is it?" ”
"This person's name is Sun Sheng, his son and daughter-in-law owed a lot of debts when they were sick, and now they can't support themselves with a grandson, let alone repay the debt." Shopkeeper Cai said.
"Are you talking about the old grandson who drives the ox cart?" Wang Yueying vaguely felt that what Shopkeeper Cai was talking about was the old grandson.
"Yes, he drives an ox cart and often transports some vegetables to our restaurant." Shopkeeper Cai saw that Wang Yueying had an impression and said busily, "The two of them are old, and they want to sell the ox cart and the house, drag a place for their grandson to learn the craft, and the two old men sell themselves themselves." "It's not easy to be an elder, and I'd rather be a slave than find a good place for my grandson. Xu is about the same age, and Shopkeeper Cai is very sympathetic to him.
I already knew about the old grandson, and Sister Cuihua was also very sympathetic to the old grandson. From their words, I can also feel that Lao Sun Tou is a good person, and he has been in the ox cart a few times, so he knows that he is not cheating and playing tricks. Since you can help, you can help a little: "Then I have to trouble Shopkeeper Cai, you can help me talk to him." Ask him what he means. ”
"Okay, sit down for a while, and I'll take the recipe to the kitchen. The old grandson had just delivered the food, and I asked if the person was still there. After speaking, Shopkeeper Cai hurriedly retreated.
Wang Yueying looked at the back of the shopkeeper Cai, and said with a smile: "This shopkeeper Cai is more active than me." ”
"Lao Cai's ability to do things is very good, and he is also very loyal, you can rest assured that you can explain something to him in the future." Cai Hong pinched his beard and smiled.
