Chapter 170: The New Teahouse (Three Watches)
Zhang Hongwen has the least money, and Zhang Guangyi has already told him that they can make money by investing in the teahouse, and they are all entrusted to the care of Du Jinning and others. For this reason, even if Zhang Hongwen didn't know that Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze had an unpleasant incident because of Chen Jiaxing and others the previous time, they got along with the other three people with such a principle, and they were safe and sound, and they were not dissatisfied with each other.
In terms of shares, Du Jinning still accounts for 50% of the new teahouse, but she bought this 50% with silver.
She had more than 20 taels on hand, and Liang Xiankuan bought a sofa and gave another 160 taels. The two teahouses were pressed by Yuan An, and they were sold for one hundred and ninety taels and two hundred and fifteen taels respectively, and then made some tables and chairs to repair the teahouses, and the two teahouses cost a total of four hundred and twenty taels, and Du Jinning needed to come up with two hundred and one hundred taels of silver.
However, this time, Du Jinning's words are no longer in the form of dry shares, but like the Du family's dried beans and tea eggs, they are directly sold to the teahouse for storytelling at the price of two taels of silver per volume, and other copyrights are retained by Du Jinning. Even the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" re-mentioned in the new teahouse also needs to pay her two taels of silver per volume. Du Jinning wrote a total of eight volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, plus Du Jinning directly handed over four volumes of "Dragon Babu" in order to offset the silver.
For these twenty taels of silver, Du Jinning simply lent Zhang Hongwen the money he paid for the shares, and Zhang Hongwen raised another twenty-two taels from his family to make up enough money for one share.
As for the bundle after the year, Du Jinning also calculated well. Now the three teahouses have a daily income, which is like the golden rooster that can lay eggs, and the three stores can have a total of more than ten taels of silver a day. After the opening of the academy on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the teahouse will be able to earn more than 100 taels of silver. When the time comes, everyone will divide the money first, and he will be able to get fifty taels of silver himself, and Zhang Hongwen can return the money to her immediately, plus now that he is on vacation and has plenty of time, Du Jinning can also write a few more scripts, and he doesn't have to worry about the money at all.
The remaining four components, Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan each accounted for two percent.
With a new teahouse, it is inevitable to recruit a storyteller. With the example of Qian Dongbao, when the storyteller in the city heard that the Boyue Teahouse was going to recruit people, except for those who signed a deed with the owner and couldn't leave, the rest all came to the teahouse to apply. After Du Jinning interviewed them, he left four storytellers.
Three teahouses and five storytellers, although they gave two monthly dollars for nothing, it also avoided these people thinking that the teahouse needed to rely on him alone, and gave birth to a self-aggrandizing mentality, and at the same time, he could also substitute when someone was sick or had something at home. The time of the five storytellers on stage is arranged according to the quality of the storyteller. If it is good, it will be new; If you say the second, repeat the previous content in the second scene.
These, at the beginning of the purchase of the teahouse, were planned by Du Jinning, the small owner, Zhuang Yue, the newly appointed big shopkeeper, except for training the new junior two, there is no need to worry. All the business models of the new teahouse are copied from the old teahouse, and the purchase channels of dim sum and snacks are the same, so although it only took three or four days to prepare, Zhuang Yue did not feel in a hurry.
Therefore, on the day of the opening of the new teahouse, Du Jinning was able to be a shopkeeper and carry gifts everywhere to greet the New Year.
Guan Lehe was the first to go. At the beginning of the apprenticeship, because of the complicated situation at home, there was no way to come up with the apprenticeship ceremony, so Du Jinning only bowed once and became an apprentice. Now taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, it is known that she has received a note of silver from Liang Xiankuan, so she naturally prepared a relatively generous gift and sent it over; Yuan Xiuzhu and Qi Bokun were not left behind. Of course, the three elders also gave a return gift and a big red envelope, saying that it was New Year's money.
Du Jinning came back from Qi Bokun, and the mother and daughter of the third room were worried about sitting down: "Brother Ning, do you want to go to your grandfather's place?" ”
Du Jinning frowned, and said very reluctantly: "The mountain chief and Mr. Yuan have specially told me to go back to Peach Blossom Village to pay New Year's greetings." ”
"Why go? Didn't we cut ties with them? The filial piety money for the New Year, we also took Zhang Hongwen back, which can be regarded as the end of the righteousness, right? No one else can say anything about us. If you go to pay New Year's greetings, maybe they will get it again, and it will be endless if you don't take advantage of it. Du Fangling snorted angrily and said, "It's not that the mountain chief doesn't know the situation of our family, why do you still want to call Brother Ning to visit the New Year?" ”
Regarding Guan Lehe and Yuan Xiuzhu's advice, Chen can understand.
She helped Guan Lehe explain: "Guan Shanchang and Mr. Yuan are also afraid of affecting Brother Ning's reputation. In the future, if someone writes to the academic official, saying that he is not filial and does not go to his grandfather to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, then his fame will be deprived. ”
Du Fangling was suddenly dumbfounded, and said curtly: "Brother Ning, you should go to pay New Year's greetings." It's not worth influencing fame for those people. ”
Du Fanghui also nodded heavily.
Du Jinning and Chen glanced at each other, and both of them showed wry smiles.
Du Fangling and Du Fanghui didn't know what to do, but Du Jinning, Chen, and Du Fangfei knew that it was impossible for Du Jinning to participate in the imperial examination, let alone gain fame. But they can't say any of this, so Guan Lehe and Yuan Xiuzhu's words are not easy to listen to.
Chen sighed and said, "You better go for a trip, you are now valued by the mountain chief, and they don't dare to do anything to you." ”
Du Jinning nodded: "Anyway, if you want to go to your uncle's house, you should stop by." As he spoke, he brought up the gift that Chen had prepared.
The gift inside is not thin, there is a live chicken, two catties of pork, two packs of Liu Ji's pastries, and a catty of brown sugar. In order to avoid gossip, Du Yinsheng and Du Chensheng have the same etiquette. Originally, the Chen family also prepared a pack of dried tofu, but for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he took it out again just now.
"Things are very heavy, ask your eldest sister and third sister to send you to the academy to get in the carriage and come back." Chen said again. Although no one came to pay New Year's greetings, as the head of the family, she had to stay at home today.
Although after the separation, under Du Jinning's strong request, it is now three meals a day, white rice, buying a pound of pork to dip in some meat every once in a while, and scrambling a plate of eggs from time to time, but in just such a short time, it is not enough for the Du family to raise their bodies well, Du Jinning is still that thin, and he does not grow much meat. These two baskets of things are a total of more than ten catties, and Du Jinning really can't go far.
