Chapter Seventy-Eight: Buying a House to Make Wine
Shen Yuerong walked up to Li Zheng and asked softly, "Li Zheng, how many silver taels is this house going to sell?" ”
Gu Jinghuai naturally understood Shen Yuerong's concern, and he coughed lightly to interrupt Li Zheng, who was about to speak: "This house has been uninhabited for a long time, so it shouldn't be too expensive." ”
Li is such a smart person, although today is the first time to meet Gu Jinghuai, but after getting along for most of the day, he can naturally see that the relationship between Gu Jinghuai and Shen Yuerong is not ordinary.
Li Zheng directly reported the low price given by Rich Man Liu: "Rich Lord Liu said, the minimum is two hundred taels of silver!" ”
After listening to the price, Shen Yuerong was like a frosted eggplant, drooping her head.
No wonder this house has been vacant for so long and has not been sold, at this selling price, there are a few people in the village who can afford it, and those who can afford it are not bad for money, who wants to buy it so partially.
Although the Gaomen compound is full of organs, and I like it very much, but two hundred taels, I really don't have it now.
Shen Yuerong had no choice but to politely say to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, is there any other place in the village?" It's okay to rent it, it's too expensive, I don't have that much silver. ”
It turned out that there was still a lack of money, Gu Jinghuai said directly to Shen Yuerong: "You only said that this place is suitable for a brewery?" ”
Shen Yuerong thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "It's suitable here, it's spacious enough and there is a well, but the price is too expensive, although the winery makes money, it's still far from two hundred taels." ”
Li Zheng said again: "Or shall we go to Xitou again?" There is also a small house over there, although it is not as spacious as here, but the layout is not bad, but there is no well in the yard, and it is more inconvenient to draw water from the west. ”
Shen Yuerong felt that it was feasible, after all, now that the money is small, it is acceptable to be troublesome, and he will buy this big mansion when he earns money.
Gu Jinghuai slowly opened his mouth: "If you don't go to the west, just buy this house!" This official supports you to set up a wine shop, and you will use this house. ”
Shen Yuerong and Li Zheng were stunned, this was two hundred taels, and Gu Jinghuai gave it to Shen Yuerong as a winery lightly.
Shen Yuerong didn't dare to accept it, and hurriedly refused: "Gu County Order, I appreciate your kindness, but ......"
Gu Jinghuai knew that Shen Yuerong, who was so strong, would never accept this house so easily.
He interrupted Shen Yuerong's words and said directly: "It's not for nothing, since your winery is a demonstration site designated by the county, you must have a decent business place, so as not to embarrass the official." If you do a good job, you need to use your winery to promote it in the future. ”
Steward Huang on the side had already started to pay for it, and Li Zheng also happily took the money and gave the key.
Shen Yuerong thought about it, what Gu Jinghuai said was not unreasonable, with the name of a demonstration site, it would be more convenient to do things in the future.
But if you take this house like this, you feel uneasy, and you always feel short-handed.
The most important thing is that she still wants to rely on her own strength to run the winery well, and she doesn't want to be a woman who only relies on men.
"Gu County Order, since this is the case, I will not shirk anymore, I run a winery here, and I will pay you monthly rent in the future, one tael of silver a month, otherwise I really dare not accept such a great favor!"
Shen Yuerong's face was firm, Gu Jinghuai now knew more about the girl in front of her, and understood that she was not joking.
According to the current business situation of the winery, the rent of one tael of silver a month is nothing, so he nodded happily and agreed.
Shen Yuerong took out twelve taels of silver and handed it to Steward Huang: "Steward Huang, here is a year's rent, I will pay it first, please write me a lease deed." ”
Steward Huang took the money with a smile and handed the key to Shen Yuerong: "Miss Shen, don't worry, I'll send it to you after the lease deed is written." ”
Shen Nianhua on the side saw that her sister had rented such a large yard as a winery, and she was running around excitedly in the winery.
"Sister, can I bring Shen Hanhan to play in the future?"
Shen Nianhua was sweating profusely, his face was ruddy, his big eyes were crystal clear, and he was very good-looking.
Shen Yuerong said with a smile: "Of course you can, Shen Hanhan is also a member of our wine shop." ”
The people in the courtyard looked at the happy appearance of the sister and brother, and they all smiled.
After finishing the matter, Li Zheng went home to prepare Gu Jinghuai's dinner and residence.
So Gu Jinghuai's master and servant and Shen Yuerong's sister and brother wandered around the village road together, followed by the two officials far behind.
Steward Huang took Shen Nianhua to run and flutter butterflies on the ground, leaving only Shen Yuerong and Gu Jinghuai alone, and she walked slowly one step behind Gu Jinghuai.
Gu Jinghuai saw that Shen Yuerong was slow to follow, so he stopped and waited for Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong was looking down to think about what to say, but she didn't pay attention and hit Gu Jinghuai's back directly.
She felt the temperature from Gu Jinghuai, looked at the tall and well-proportioned back, and lowered her head a little embarrassed.
Gu Jinghuai saw that Shen Yuerong blushed, and spoke first to break the embarrassment, "Shen Hanhan in your brother's mouth, is it your other brother?" ”
Shen Yuerong thought of Shen Hanhan, with a smile on her face, and her mood relaxed a lot: "Shen Hanhan is a cow raised by our family, I was woken up by its cry last night, and I found out about the fire in time, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable." ”
Gu Jinghuai also smiled rarely, his thin lips pursed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were raised to a good-looking forty-five degree angle, Shen Yuerong looked a little obsessed.
"Your brother is so smart, I didn't expect your cattle to be just as smart."
Shen Yuerong smiled even more happily, and her mood relaxed.
Gu Jinghuai looked at the smiling woman in front of him, and his heart throbbed.
With curved thin eyebrows, big eyes, and long eyelashes that are black and curled, the smile is quite contagious, and people can't help but want to laugh.
The two chatted and unconsciously walked to the crop field.
Shen Yuerong pointed to the crop field and said to Gu Jinghuai: "Gu County Order, this is the crop land of our village, the grain output of our village is not low, but the income is not enough to support the family's expenses. If the wine had been brewed and sold for a good price, the village would not have been so poor. ”
He made money at home and cared about his neighbors, Gu Jinghuai nodded slightly: "I also asked Lizheng, the grain output in the village is good." It's just that the quality is ordinary, and the competition can't compete with the grain produced in the water town, so it is a good choice if it is winemaking. ”
Gu Jinghuai's two rows of slender eyelashes under his eyelids trembled slightly as his eyes opened and closed.
Shen Yuerong looked at the heart, looked away, and pretended to be calm and said: "Well, when I pack up the new brewery, I will go into the grain to prepare for winemaking, and then I will also brew some good liquor as a base, so that not only can the cost be reduced, but the medicinal wine can be sold farther and more expensive!" ”
