Chapter 269: Mother's Dowry

Liu Wan is quite satisfied with the facilities and environment of the store, but the interior still needs to be renovated.

Because it was originally rented to a bamboo shop, there were some bamboo leaves and bamboo branches piled up on the ground, and the store was not so elegant, and there was a mess everywhere.

Liu Wan decided to let Wang Jing come to the scene to see if he could use the thinking of a craftsman to carve skillfully and decorate this store in a unique style.

"Okay, Zhifu, I'll rent this shop." Liu Wan said, "But I will rent for a long time, can you call the shots when you sign the contract?" Don't be embarrassed if you can't make the decision, I can discuss it with your parents. ”

"Aunt Liu, I can call the shots, this is a trivial matter, my parents don't care, in fact, these shops belong to my mother." Tian Zhifu said.

"Huh? So? Liu Wan was curious.

"Hehe, this is my mother's dowry, my mother is my son, I don't help her take care of it, who will take care of it?"

Tian Zhifu said with a smile.

Liu Wan suddenly realized that this is the difference between ancient dowry and modern dowry.

The dowry of an ancient woman, even if it is ten miles of red makeup, is the only property in this woman's name.

If there is a divorce, this property is also in the hands of the woman, and if she unfortunately dies in her husband's family, this property will fall into the hands of her own children.

If there are no biological children, they will be recycled by the mother's family.

Therefore, in fact, the ancient home improvement system still has its certain rationality, at least it can ensure a woman's right to control her own property.

Liu Wan couldn't help but secretly plan in her heart, she also had to work hard to make money, save a decent dowry for Wang Lian in the future, and it was best to buy more shops, so that she could be a rent collector and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Liu Wan was very happy with the contract in her hand, she signed a 5-year lease with Tian Zhifu, and the one-year lease was 12 taels of silver, and 5 years was 60 taels of silver.

Liu Wan paid off the 5-year lease with a silver ticket at one time, and within 5 years, the store would belong to her, and she was bound to decorate it well to make Wang's Pastry Shop a classic heritage brand in Gukou Town.

Tian Zhifu and Liu Wan agreed to the contract of renting the shop, then handed the brass key to Liu Wan and said:

"Aunt Liu, the store will be yours in the future, I hope you open as soon as possible, and you can eat your dim sum every day in the future."

After saying these words, Tian Zhifu thought of the delicious food made by Liu Wan, he couldn't help it, and sucked his saliva.

After Tian Zhifu left, Liu Wan went to the blacksmith shop.

As soon as Blacksmith Lu saw Liu Wan, he asked enthusiastically:

"Aunt Liu, what novel things are you going to create again?"

Every time Liu Wan came to the Lu blacksmith, she would make some large pieces of ironware, such as frying pans, baking trays, long-spouted milk pots, etc., which were unheard of and unseen by the Lu blacksmith.

Fortunately, Blacksmith Lu was ingenious, and Liu Wan was able to make the requirements clear every time, so Blacksmith Lu was able to live up to his mission every time and help Liu Wan build those tools.

Liu Wan smiled and said:

"Blacksmith Lu, this time I need to make three large baking trays, three oven doors, and such a large pan."

Liu Wan has learned the unit of measurement here, and it is quite accurate, and Blacksmith Lu understands it as soon as he hears it.

The role of the blacksmith Lu in the blacksmith in Gukou Town is equivalent to Wang Jing's role in the carpenter now:

They are all talented, ingenious, and have a very serious desire to study.

After Liu Wan came into contact with him a few times, she found that he was able to create the utensils he wanted every time, so when she thought of a new job, she would come to him.

The last time the two copper milk pots were beaten, they were very useful, Wu Jing used them to cook milk, and it would never boil as soon as it was hot like before, and even the speed of selling milk tea was much faster.

"No problem, when are you going to want it?" Blacksmith Lu asked.

"Half a month later, the sooner the better."

Liu Wan knew that it would take a long time to make handmade parts, so she didn't set a short-term time for him.

Anyway, it will take at least half a month to renovate the store, so such a time was set for Blacksmith Lu.

Aunt Liu is good-looking, speaks well, is generous, and can have a lot of new and ingenious ideas, Blacksmith Lu admires her and is very polite to him.

Since Liu Wan is making ironware, if you don't count the wages, the iron itself is expensive, so the overall price is also high.

Liu Wan paid a deposit of three taels of silver, and when Tingting left, a woman happened to come to hit the sickle.

Seeing Liu Wan passing by her, the woman saw the admiring eyes of the blacksmith Lu behind Liu Wan, and her heart was "Geden".

But immediately said quietly:

"Blacksmith Lu, I'll make a scythe."

Blacksmith Lu came back to his senses, looked at the woman in front of him and smiled:

"Auntie, what are you going to buy today?"

"Give me a scythe." Lu Blacksmith said.

"That woman is so familiar just now!" Lu's blacksmith's aunt pretended not to know.

"Oh, that's Aunt Liu from the 'Good Things' barbecue restaurant, she is a widow with a son, and her business is doing very well, and she often calls me to come and fetch her things."

As soon as Blacksmith Lu talked about Aunt Liu, his eyes lit up, like a few family treasures, and the tone of his voice always made people feel that Aunt Liu was his baby.

"Yo, is this Aunt Liu? I heard that the emperor also set up a chastity archway for her! ”

"What? Chastity archway? Blacksmith Lu was shocked and said, "I heard from the customers in the store before, I don't know which village has a woman who has received the emperor's holy decree and wants to build a chaste archway, is it Aunt Liu?" ”

Although Gukou Town and Taoyuan Village are only three miles apart, in this era when there is no communication in terms of audio beyond one mile, Sanlidi is already beyond the ends of the world.

But after all, the matter of the emperor's decree is too big, and the relevant news is still brewing and fermenting.

"Yes, of course it's her, not her, who else? My niece married into that village.

She said that that day Lord Qin sent to give the holy decree in person, not to mention how grand it was, and also awarded Aunt Liu 100 taels of silver and 20 acres of fertile land, and the people around her didn't know how envious they were. ”

"Ah, there's such a thing?" When Blacksmith Lu heard this, he was also in awe, and said, "Aunt Liu is really a model for women in the world!" ”

As soon as he heard that Aunt Liu was given the archway of chastity by the emperor, the blacksmith Lu suddenly turned his admiration into pure admiration.

Also, who has the courage to go against the government in these years?

Even if there was a little ambiguity in the past, I don't dare to have it now.

The widow who was given the chastity archway by the emperor is equivalent to having a golden shield to protect her body, and no one can see it.

Everyone understands that this woman has lived alone in this life. The emperor Chrysostom is sealed, who dares to marry her? It is impossible to marry her.

If anyone dares to offend Aunt Liu, if the emperor knows, it will be a big crime of the nine clans.
