Zhang Baofang nodded in agreement, thanked the king again and again, and thought that when he finished delivering these buns, he would take a look around the town, and also make some efforts to find a shop, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

As soon as Steward Wang returned to the mansion after delivering the steamed buns to the long-term workers, he was called by Mrs. Li and asked him about the farming and rent collection in each village.

The king's steward went back one by one.

"I heard you say that the Ye family wants to buy a shop yesterday, but can you buy it?" Mrs. Li asked again.

"Not yet, something has gone wrong." Steward Wang told Zhang Baofang and the Ye family about it.

After listening to this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but praise the Ye family's work is really proper, and from this incident, it can be seen that this family's conduct is very upright.

Mrs. Li had a desire to have a deep friendship with the Ye family.

Not only because of Ye Qingyu, but also because of Ye Qingshu.

Yesterday morning, she went to Minglu Academy in the county seat, found the president of the academy, and showed the article written by Ye Qing to the academy, which was greatly appreciated and affirmed by the academy.

Moreover, the court also said that if he could make this article, if he did well in the Jingyi retest, he would definitely be able to come out on top and become the head of the case, and he wanted to meet the other party very much.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, she didn't want Miss Ye's eldest brother to have such a talent, and she immediately had the idea of sponsoring Ye Qingshu's study.

However, after listening to Steward Wang's report, Mrs. Li knew that the Ye family had turned over, and there was also a money-making income, and life was getting better and better, and she didn't need her to sponsor Ye Qingshu to study.

She suddenly felt regretful and pity, this was a lost opportunity to win over potential backers.

However, Mrs. Li has a new plan, and she can't give the Ye family a big favor, but it's okay to do them some small favors and take the initiative to befriend them.

The Ye family is obviously affectionate, and they always don't suffer losses when they are good friends.

"My noodle shop on East Street has a normal business, so sell this shop to the Ye family." Mrs. Li spoke.

Steward Wang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Madam, the front hall of that noodle restaurant is quite large, and it can hold seven or eight tables and chairs, and the Ye family only wants to sell lo-mei, and they don't want to open a restaurant, so it is probably not suitable." ”

"What's in his house? Delicious? Mrs. Li asked.

"I haven't tasted it yet, it's said to be some pig's head meat, duck neck or something, it should taste good." Steward Wang said.

"If the taste is good, wouldn't it be a pity to sell lo-mei alone, with wine and side dishes, so that people can drink in the store, which is another purchase." Mrs. Li spoke.

"What Madame said is very true, I will tell Brother Ye what she said." Steward Wang slapped two sycophants, and asked with a smile,

"Ma'am, how much silver does this shop sell?"

"It's eighty taels." Mrs. Li said, "I just want to have a good relationship with the Ye family, and I don't want to make money." ”

The king's steward answered, and said in his heart that this is not just making money, but this is upside down.

That noodle shop, although the business is average, but there are also four taels of silver a month.

sold the shop, not to mention that these inputs are gone, the shop is worth hundreds of taels of silver, only selling for eighty taels, too cheap!

Mrs. Li asked the eldest maid to take out the deed of the shop, and then said to the king's steward,

"Tell Lao Zhang of the noodle restaurant and let him come back, and I'll arrange another job for him."

This noodle restaurant was originally Mrs. Li's dowry shop, and it has always been her companion room.
