Du Jinning asked Chen to get busy, he led Qi Muyuan into the house, poured him tea and snacks, and asked, "Didn't you go to the teahouse and find us here?" ”

Qi Muyuan shook his head: "I have something to do with you." ”

"Oh?" Du Jinning sat down and looked at Qi Muyuan.

"I went to the teahouse early this morning to have a look, and then I asked someone to ask around if there was a teahouse for sale." Qi Muyuan said, "There are not many teahouses in the city, and now it is the New Year's Pass, and the business is just right, and no one wants to sell." However, there are two more spacious shops that are willing to be transferred, which were originally used as restaurants, and the area is larger than that of Boyue Teahouse. Let me ask you what you think. ”

Du Jinning was stunned, stared at Qi Muyuan, and didn't speak for a long time.

Qi Muyuan stared at him and did not speak.

After a long time, Du Jinning spoke up: "Why are you looking for a teahouse?" Aren't we open? ”

Qi Muyuan retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Don't tell me, you saw a long queue at the Boyue Teahouse, and you never wanted to open two more elsewhere." ”

Think, how don't you want to?

Du Jinning said silently in his heart, but said on his face: "I plan to use the proceeds of the teahouse to open a branch in a month, depending on the situation." ”

"If that's what you think, then I don't have much to say." Qi Mu is far away.

Du Jinning looked at his face. Qi Muyuan has always been an expressionless guy, and his tone is not emotional, and he really can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy at this time.

Du Jinning was a little frustrated.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, looked at the scenery outside the door and was silent for a while, and finally decided not to be hypocritical, and asked Qi Muyuan: "What is the price of those two shops?" ”

Qi Muyuan gave her a look that was really like this, and said; "One is two hundred taels, and one is two hundred and twenty taels."

"It's so expensive. Even if you sell me, you won't be able to sell it for so much money. Du Jinning sighed.

Qi Muyuan looked her up and down, as if he was estimating how much money this guy in front of him could sell.

"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?" Du Jinning glared at him.

"Weigh the pound and sell it, maybe it will be sold for two hundred yuan." Qi Muyuan said expressionlessly.

Du Jinning is angry. This guy with facial paralysis is still capable, and he knows how to tell bad jokes.

"How? Can't it be opened? Qi Muyuan asked.

Since the acquaintance, Qi Muyuan has been very good to himself, and Du Jinning did not hide it from him, and said honestly: "I really have no money, I have a full amount of money, and it is only twenty-five taels of silver, and I have to pay twenty taels of shackles after the New Year." Originally, you took care of me, but this time I will definitely be embarrassed to take advantage of the dry shares, so I have to invest money in it. Besides, last time I had an unpleasant quarrel with Guan Jiaze for manpower; This time, it's not good for us to let Guan Jiaze find someone again. Xiao Er is easy to find, but a reliable shopkeeper is hard to find. ”

"You don't have to worry about manpower, I have it there; As for the silver, I can lend it to you first. If you don't want to, you can also pay me interest. Anyway, my money is also left, if you don't want to open a branch, I can't make money, right? ”

Du Jinning looked at Qi Muyuan's serious expression and was quite moved.

Among the four of them, Guan Jiaze is the oldest, but because of his growth environment, he is the most immature. Qi Muyuan, who is only twelve years old, may have experienced ups and downs, but he has shown an unusual maturity and stability. When facing him, Du Jinning didn't feel that he was facing a child at all, but like an adult equal to her. Therefore, Du Jinning is very willing to believe him, and believes that they will never have a conflict like Chen Jiaxing in the end.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Du Jin would rather not think that Qi Muyuan opened a branch because he lacked money. After all, he didn't want to help her by doing this?

Qi Muyuan glanced at her, and his tone was light: "It's pleasing to your eyes." ”

“……”

Well, this reason is very powerful, Du Jinning was speechless.

"That's fine." Du Jinning nodded and said, "However, you don't need to open two more, just one." ”

Seeing Qi Muyuan looking at her in puzzlement, Du Jinning explained: "Instead of opening a total of three teahouses, each of which only has a seventy or eighty percent attendance rate, it is better to open two and two are full, so that everyone will feel strange and compete to listen to books." The two restaurants you have at hand, let's make an appointment to see them together, and choose one with the right location, area and price.

"Okay, listen to you." Qi Muyuan naturally had no opinion.

Because Zhang Hongwen was involved, he had to ask someone to bring him a message and let him go into the city, so the two agreed to discuss this matter together the next day, and Qi Muyuan took his leave.

Seeing off Qi Muyuan, Du Jinning went to the kitchen and said to Chen: "Mother, now the teahouse is very popular, and there are many people in line, so we decided to open another teahouse." Therefore, it is estimated that the supply of this dried tofu will have to be increased by then, at least twice as much as it is now. ”

"Huh?" Although Chen is very pleased that his dried tofu is selling well and making more and more money, he is also very difficult, "But we are in a hurry day and night, so we can only make so many dried tofu." ”

In the past two days, she and Du Fangfei have not gone to the field, and they have tried their best to make dried tofu at home, but they still have not supplied the demand for the teahouse. On the Xie side, because of the original promise, the Chen family was unwilling to lose his trust, so he would rather lack the supply of the teahouse than cut off the wholesale volume to the Xie family.

"I'm here to tell you about it." Du Jinning said, "There are two ways, one is for us to buy a small donkey, and then buy a big stone mill." Now this little stone mill must be replaced. Another option is to hire two strong women in the village to help grind the soy milk. My advice is to buy a donkey. ”

"Donkey." Naturally, Chen knew that it was cost-effective to buy a donkey. If you invite someone, you will spend a lot of money, and there will be a lot of people. They had just moved in, and they were unfamiliar with the place, and suddenly they said that they wanted to hire people, and the people in the Zhuangzi didn't know what to say about them. Besides, if the hired people have a bad character and secretly learn how to make dried tofu, then they will suffer heavy losses.

But a donkey costs a lot of money, at least twelve taels of silver. And now the money they earn from making dried tofu a day is only three or four hundred coppers, and Du Jinning will have to pay it after the New Year......

"This is fifteen taels of silver, take it, go to the bazaar, and buy it if it is suitable. The stone mill also called the stonemasons to beat it as soon as possible. Du Jinning handed the prepared silver to Chen.

Chen was taken aback: "Where did you get so much silver?" ”

Although she knew that Du Jinning had been writing a book, and a book could be sold for two taels of silver, but since she opened the teahouse, she has not sold it out. She estimated that Du Jinning only had seven or eight taels of silver in his hand.
