After tinkering with the shuttle loom, Xie Mulin didn't worry about the follow-up.

Her science foundation is very average, it is barely enough to get a shuttle loom, and the specific technical affairs are handled by those experienced loom craftsmen, she is just talking about a principle and coming up with an idea. After the machine came out, it was handed over to Xie Liu's husband and wife in the seventh room to operate, and it was tested on a small scale in the weaving workshop, and after success, it was promoted to the big weaving workshop re-established by the Xie family's firm, and then the whole Xie family...... She didn't need to think about the rest of the matter.

Xie Pu has a good business brain. Even if he has to be busy with official business all day long and can only give some directions, but with those shrewd, capable and experienced shopkeepers, he can handle the business of the Xie family in an orderly manner. Xie Mulin's shuttle loom helped him a lot, so Xie Pu also specially sealed a big red envelope for his daughter, which was worth five hundred taels of silver.

He originally wanted to add some money to his daughter for the dowry, but after getting the silver, Xie Mulin didn't plan to save the money just like that. If the silver is not spent, is it still silver? Pile it in a box and leave it alone, and when you get married in a few years, five hundred taels or five hundred taels, counting inflation, it will depreciate. It's better to save it in the bank, so that you can still get some interest.

Of course, Xie Mulin would not deposit the silver in the bank, and after seeing the power and influence of a high-ranking family like the Cao family, she was not very trustworthy in a privately opened bank. After thinking about it for two days, she decided to take out the five hundred taels as capital and start a small business, without having to open a big stall, just a small fight and make some fat powder money.

In this business, she pulled her eldest sister Xie Yinghui, fourth sister Xie Yingfen and Yang Yuan in the second room to open a dim sum shop. The original idea came from when she first returned to Huyin that year, when she studied various pastries with Xie Yingfen and Yang Yuan. There were many years of events, and she didn't have time to think about it carefully, but later, when Xie Yinghui and the others returned to their hometown, they had the money in their hands, and they could put it into action.

Xie Mulin contributed most of the dim sum formula and 400 taels of capital, Xie Yinghui contributed 1,000 taels, and Yang Yuan contributed a small half of the dim sum recipe and 50 taels of capital, and then took charge of the specific accounts and business operations together with Xie Yingfen. This small dim sum shop could only be regarded as a small fight in Huyin County at first. But because the dim sum sold is fresh and delicious, the style is novel, and the reputation is getting better day by day, and it is slowly being made.

This spring, they also opened branches in Huzhou City and Pingwang Town. For the time being, relying only on these three stores, each of them also has a profit dividend of more than a dozen taels of silver every month. Xie Yingfen and Yang Yuan are very satisfied, Xie Yinghui only regards this as a pastime, but looking at the account books every month, it is also very refreshing to know that she has a lot of income. As for Semmulin? She just didn't want to waste the materials in her study space. Anyway, after the dim sum shop returned to its original capital, the profits were more or less net.

She basically entrusted the affairs of the dim sum shop to her sister and cousin, and even the research on new tricks of dim sum was handed over to them. Anyway, they love to tinker with food, and they have a way to find excellent dim sum chefs, and they don't even need to worry about follow-up new products. She only needs to look at the account book, at most, she is occasionally annoyed by Xie Yingrong's hint that she wants to insert a foot in it.

Xie Yingrong has been obedient for two years, and he is not really honest. She is quite jealous of the dim sum shop, and thinks that the sisters in the family have a share, why doesn't she? On the contrary, it cheapened Yang Yuan, who had a surname in the second room? But Yang Yuan is the granddaughter of the Song family, who has contributed both the principal and the effort, and the Song family has a very high prestige in the Xie clan, Xie Yingrong did not dare to make a mistake, at most he complained in front of Xie Mulin in private. Can Shemulin pay attention to her? Blocked back without being salty or light, she didn't dare to say more.

Xie Yingrong still had one hundred taels of gold on hand, but her biological mother, Aunt Dajin, did not dare to hand it over to her daughter for safekeeping, because she knew that she was not good at managing money, but she was very good at wasting money, for fear that she would lose all the money in the dowry in the future. Even Aunt Dajin didn't believe Xie Yingrong, how could Xie Mulin give her the opportunity to ruin her own property?

The dim sum shops in Huzhou City and Pingwang Town have returned to their original costs in the past few months and have begun to make profits, and it is said that their reputation is still spreading, and even people in Suzhou have come to visit. Yang Yuan also discussed with Xie Yingfen whether to open a branch in Suzhou City at the end of the year or next year? Xie Yingfen hesitated at the time, worried that there were many dim sum shops in Suzhou, and there were many time-honored shops, and their small shops were not other people's opponents, so they couldn't make a decision.

Now you don't have to worry about it. Since the three-bedroom family is going north, this fourth dim sum shop branch will definitely be opened in Beiping City. According to Wen's family letter, the people of Beiping also like to eat southern snacks, and there are many officials and family members from the south who like this bite. Xie Mulin did a market research and felt that it was not bad to open a store in Beiping. Anyway, Xie Pu is an official there, which is enough to support a few daughters.

The branches of Huyin, Huzhou and Pingwang Town may have to be handed over to Yang Yuan to take care of. But if the mother and daughter of the Song family and Xie Meijun in the second room accept Xie Huizhi's proposal and go north together, then these stores will have to find someone else to be responsible.

There seem to be two or three old shopkeepers in the family, who were sick or injured and too weak to go out of the mountains to do things, only recuperating at home, and recommended their nephews or apprentices to work for the owner. Now that so much time has passed, I remember that during the Dragon Boat Festival before, several brothers and sisters in the family went to the homes of several old shopkeepers to visit and greet them, and their bodies seemed to have recovered well, and they were a little idle. If these small shops were entrusted to them, they wouldn't dislike the noodles being too small, right?

After Xie Mulin finished the accounts, he decided where to withdraw the funds for the travel expenses, and began to think about the affairs of several small shops, and when he planned to go to the second room early tomorrow morning to ask for peace, he would find Yang Yuan to find out. If the second room is also going north, many things have to be prepared in advance.

Nothing happened overnight. Xie Mulin got up early the next morning, and as usual, he and his brother Xie Jin went to the second room to greet the Song family.

Song's spirit has deteriorated a lot in the past two years, and he often has a small illness during the change of seasons, although it is not a major illness, but the impact on the body is obvious. In the past, she was still interested in walking around Xiejiajiao from time to time, or visiting friends in the county, and she would go to Zhushan Academy every ten years to visit the teachers and students there. But now, she only goes to the academy once in two or three months, and even the Xie clan's family rarely visits it. Most of the time, she is at home.

Xie Meijun was worried that her mother would live in a simple house because she and her husband were separated from each other, and she was always ashamed, and often persuaded the Song family to go out for a walk. But seeing her mother's weak appearance, she couldn't hold on, so she could only serve silently and attentively.

Today she was a little absent-minded. Since Xie Huizhi, who was in the third room last night, came to talk to her son Yang Chun, and Yang Chun talked to her for half the night, she has always been like this. No matter how bad Song's spirit was, he also noticed something unusual: "What's wrong with you today?" Didn't you sleep well last night? Then go back and rest. I have someone waiting here, and the two children are not outsiders, so you don't need to be polite. ”

Xie Meijun shook her head, subconsciously glanced at Xie Jinzhi and Xie Mulin, and stopped talking.
