Chapter 61: My Shop
"As long as my sister takes care of her body, the child will definitely have it, these days, doesn't you often come to my sister's place?" Shen Lin comforted.
"Sister, have you really heard that three years of pregnancy is better?" Song was a little skeptical.
"I also heard from some of our neighbors in Jiangnan, saying that if you hurt your body, it is best to take care of it for three or four years, sister, you also know, we are from the people, how can you understand these, why don't you ask when the next time the imperial doctor comes to ask for peace pulse?"
During this time, the fourth master went to the Song family very often, although Concubine De had a newcomer to point over, but the fourth master only went once or twice, and then he didn't go, it is estimated that it is not to his liking, as for himself, it may be that he feels indebted to himself, and he is embarrassed to come.
Shen Lin doesn't care, anyway, love comes, if you don't come to pull it down, she won't do anything to let the girl block people.
Shen Lin didn't report the vacant first-class girl quota in his own courtyard, Sesame and Walnut are still being selected, or in other words, when the time comes, the waiter will be married, and the two of them may be promoted together, anyway, there is no hurry.
The days passed quickly, and soon it was the gold festival on October 13.
The gold festival is the Manchu people's festival, basically similar to the National Day of modern people, there is a big banquet in the palace for a few days, and the four blessings are also busy for several days, and they follow the four masters into the palace every day.
Although Li was a lot haggard after a miscarriage, when it was time for the gold festival, he also regained his spirit, but according to Sesame's return, every time Li came back, Li's face was ugly.
In addition, the broken vases in the Lee Courtyard are said to be on the rise.
Shen Lin estimated that the Li family must have been ridiculed in the palace, for example, by Bafujin, or others, as for others, they would definitely not dare. Who doesn't know, the Li family is the pet of the fourth master.
Before, Sifujin took that opportunity to attack a good group of people in the house. Originally, Shen Lin thought that Sifu Jin could take advantage of this to clean up all the people of the Li family in the mansion in one go, but. According to the observations of these days, only half of the Li family's people have been cleaned up, and half of them are still in some important positions in the mansion.
Although the servant said that this is conducive to the balance of the backyard, Shen Lin felt that Sifujin would definitely be very unhappy, after all, people are the ones who are Fujin. Why do you have to do it in one word, don't you?
Regarding the territorial dispute between the four Fujin and the Li family in the backyard, Shen Lin is just gossip, even if he has heard it.
The most important thing in front of me is that my halva shop is about to open, and the date is set for October 15.
The women in the mansion have properties outside the mansion, like the Song family, there is a silk village, like Tang Jia's has a shop for rent, not to mention the Li family and Fujin.
It is said that the Lee family has three or four shops. It was all purchased by the fourth master.
Fujin is a dowry, as for how much, Shen Lin didn't dare to inquire specifically.
Pitiful little like yourself. is small and transparent, one does not have many marriages, and the other is not a man to buy, so he can only do it himself, and he has enough food and clothing.
At the beginning, the Song family also invited himself to open a silk and satin village, because he was not afraid of losing money when he opened a silk and satin village, mainly because sometimes Fujin would give some face and buy some goods. At least the materials for the girls' clothes come in from her shop, and they won't lose money. Usually do some individual business or something.
Shen Lin wanted to do some food business from the beginning, mainly because the Song family opened it. Fujin can take care of one, but may not be able to take care of two, not to mention, clothing is not his strong point.
As for what kind of food to eat, Shen Lin didn't expect that if it was big, the investment would be large, and his own silver would not be much, so he couldn't afford to lose.
Therefore, she planned to open a house to sell hemp halva, and by the way, sell some Jiangnan pastries, and the location was also chosen, near the Jiangnan Hall.
As for the master who made hemp halva is a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu, the surname of the head of the family is Yan, and the couple has only one daughter, married to the capital, afraid that their daughter will be wronged in the capital, because the husband and wife also left their hometown and came to the capital from Suzhou.
In their hometown, they originally opened halva shops and sold some pastries, and it is said that business is still good.
I also opened it a few years ago, but I didn't make much money and was always bullied, so I wanted to rent a shop, and I didn't have the funds.
There is a distant relative who is doing work on the fourth master Zhuangzi, and the family originally wanted to go to the relatives.
It's not that they want to go to Zhuangzi or come to work in the house, but they just think about whether their relatives are willing to come forward and partner with them in business.
Who makes the family a person in the prince's mansion, how famous is it, some harsh taxes don't have to pay, as for any underworld and white way, they don't dare to come to the door to provoke.
It's just that the relatives are not the head of the village, and there is no way, so they refused.
It just so happened that Shen Lin wanted to find a master who knew how to make Jiangnan a little bit, so they recommended the couple.
At that time, the fourth master was also in Jiangnan, but before leaving, he promised to let Shen Lin make his own decisions, and also provided fifty taels of start-up capital for Shen Lin's business, and twenty taels of Sifujin's personal sponsorship.
The rent of the shop near the Jiangnan Hall is generally more than 100 taels a year, and Shen Lin has less silver, so she can get some pocket money, but there is really none, after all, she usually has to reward some people in the house.
Therefore, her shop, although it is said to be near the Jiangnan Hall, is separated from the Jiangnan Hall by a street.
Because it is separated by a street, therefore, the price is also qualified, the front and back yards are also quite large, and the rent for a year is not expensive, only twenty taels.
At that time, when they heard this rent, both Fujin and Song felt that with this kind of shop, how could there be any business, but everyone decided, and they didn't say anything.
Although everyone is not very hopeful about this shop, Shen Lin is still full of confidence, if the business is really bad, we will also think of a way out.
The front and backyard of the shop, the backyard is quite large, in addition to taking one-third of it for workshops, the other third is where the Yan couple usually live, and the other one-third can be rented to Jiangnan students who come to the capital.
Although there is the Jiangnan Hall nearby, and looking at the capital, the halls in various provinces are not as large as the Jiangnan Hall, covering a wide area.
But Rao is like this, in the year of Dabi, the Jiangnan Hall still can't live in all of them.
And some people may not be willing to stay, after all, everyone knows that there are many talented people in Jiangnan, so there are naturally more people who come to Jiangnan Guild, and there are more people, which is naturally noisy and annoying, which will affect people who really want to study.
Therefore, it is just right for that third to be rented to students.
Shen Lin and Yan's husband and wife said that the price is passable, and we don't rely on this to make money, the most important thing is good character, and more importantly, to see if this person is a potential stock.
You said that people rented our yard and won the Jinshi or something, how convenient it is for the next tenant, this is completely a live advertisement!!
Therefore, when letting the Yan couple recruit people, they have to keep their eyes open and look farther!!
Of course, what lies ahead is business and customers!!
During this time, Shen Lin was also diligent in running to the eldest grandmother, and often let Su Niang learn the new varieties that the Yan couple had researched, and then brought them to the eldest grandmother to enjoy.
On the one hand, we are filial to the big mother, and on the other hand, we naturally have ulterior motives.
The eldest grandmother is an elderly person, so we can make some flavors suitable for the elderly.
Second, although the eldest grandmother does not have much contact with some old friends, but every year during the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Gold Festival, and each other's birthdays, and when the eldest grandmother is birthday, everyone still communicates with each other, basically giving some gifts or something.
Courtesy is light and affectionate!!
And this time during the Gold Festival, Shen Lin said very generously that among the gifts that the eldest grandmother gave to her friends, she was willing to sponsor the food in her store.
"I know, why are you so kind to invite me to eat this Jiangnan dim sum pastry, it turns out that there is such a meaning, hehe." The eldest grandmother nodded Shen Lin's nose and quipped.
"Oh, grandma, don't you also love hemp halva, last time, who stole a piece of it? I didn't sue the fourth master, did I?? ”
Shen Lin leaned close to the eldest grandmother's ear and whispered.
"Go, I love, my friends don't necessarily love, these pastries......"
Halfway through the big mama's speech, Shen Lin became a little nervous when she didn't continue.
"Only once, not again." The eldest grandmother looked at Shen Lin's nervous face, and was embarrassed to refuse, so she agreed.
"I knew that Grandma loved me the most." Shen Lin smiled and fell into the arms of the eldest grandmother like a child.
"It's such a big person, and I love to be so coquettish!! Like a child. The eldest grandmother smiled and patted Shen Lin's head and quipped.
"It's good to be like a child, how nice a child is, carefree."
After a while, Shen Lin said again, "Mama, you tell me about the taste they love to eat, when the time comes, I can let them pack it well, and I hope they eat well, and they will come to my shop to buy it in the future." ”
"They, in fact, are all grandmothers who have been paid tribute by various families, which family is not a big family, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all properly arranged, only they can't think of it, there is nothing they can't eat."
The eldest grandmother sighed and said, "And like us as slaves, although there are also those who steal and cheat, but, after all, things gather like things, so ah......"
The meaning of the big mama, Shen Lin also understands, like the big mama as long as she really wants something, Fu Jin and the fourth master will naturally arrange it properly, originally Jiangnan snacks and pastries are not dragon liver and phoenix marrow, so in the eyes of other people's big mamma, it may not be eye-catching.
And those who will keep in touch with the eldest grandmother are all about the same ability, so people and friends may not be tired of Jiangnan snacks for a long time.
The eldest grandmother looked at Shen Lin's somewhat decadent appearance, and she couldn't bear it, so she said, "If you are free, let the Yan family and his wife make something that no other shop has, only what your shop can sell, this is the most important thing." (To be continued)
