Chapter 428: Playing in the capital
Osmanthus won the man in one fell swoop, and cried with joy.
She didn't expect that she would be able to have children in this life, in fact, she didn't care about having a boy or a girl, as long as she had her own children.
Of course, Osmanthus has her own children, and she is also kind to Panpan, and she also instructed everyone not to deliberately mention that she is not her biological before Panpan grows up.
It's not that she doesn't like the name stepmother, but she is afraid that the child will have some thoughts in her heart, and she will have low self-esteem in the future.
Liu Wan also admired Osmanthus's approach, she observed for a while, and found that Osmanthus did have her own children, and she also regarded Panpan as her own, so she was relieved.
When the osmanthus child was full moon and the situation stabilized, Liu Wan "held" a family meeting again.
Every time Liu Wan lets everyone get together, there will always be something happening, of course, most of the good things are, but what is it this time?
Everyone gathered together, and they were all a little curious before they didn't know Liu Wan's purpose.
Liu Wan said that she planned to go to the capital to serve her father.
In the future, I will spend time traveling the world, tasting all the world's delicacies and improving my own recipes.
During this period, she would also come back to see everyone from time to time, and when she was away, she would let everyone live the way they wanted, as long as they did not commit adultery and break the law.
Wang Xiao and the other children were greatly surprised when they heard Liu Wan's words, and they were all reluctant.
But Liu Wan's will is resolute, it is impossible to change her mind, and with a modern soul, it is impossible for her to be trapped in this small world.
During this period of seclusion, Liu Wan would sometimes think of what a famous modern writer Wang Xiaobo said:
I came to this world, not to reproduce but to see how the flowers bloom, how the water flows, how the sun rises, when the sun sets, I live in the world just to understand some truth, meet interesting things, life is an accident, I look for cause and effect in it
She wanted a different way of living.
Liu Wan was resolute, and several children couldn't change her determination.
After recognizing the reality, they calmed down while worrying.
It's good that my mother is not going to travel the so-called world soon.
She said that as long as her grandfather was still there, she would stay in the capital and serve them.
Liu Wan said in advance now that she would give them a bottom first, lest everyone be caught off guard and be in a hurry when she really went out.
Wang Xiao knew that it was difficult to change Liu Wan's mind.
Liu Wan wanted to do one thing, and decided that it was a way to start work without turning back, so Wang Xiao slowly accepted Liu Wan's idea, and no longer tried to obstruct her like when she first heard it.
Wang Li has already participated in the college examination, obtained the qualification of a child, and was successfully admitted to Xiucai in the same year.
Liu Wan was going to the capital, and it was just this opportunity that Liu Wan took him to the capital to travel and study.
Zheng Cheng wrote a letter of recommendation and asked him to find his best friend in the capital, another famous Confucian king.
Two months after Osmanthus son, Liu Wan took Wang Li on the road to the capital.
Of course, Liu Wan was very concerned about her safety, and she hired 5 skilled dart masters to escort her to the capital.
These 5 dart masters went back and forth, and each of them asked for 20 taels of silver.
Liu Wan can now fully afford this fee.
She now has nine stores in business, and her daily income is thousands of taels of silver per month, and spending so much money can ensure the safety of her and Wang Li, which is not a matter at all.
After seven days of turbulence, Liu Wan returned to the capital smoothly and met her father and mother, whom she had not seen for a long time.
When my father and mother saw her and Wang Li, they were overjoyed.
For nearly a year, the second elder didn't see Wang Li, but seeing that he came back, Wang Li grew a little taller, with a handsome face, wearing a scholarly robe with white silk hidden bamboo patterns, and he looked like a personable little Langjun, which was really a great love.
The arrival of Liu Wan and Wang Li shook the Liu family again.
The mother and son lived in the house that Liu Wan bought.
Liu Songgang is very conscientious, and comes to inspect from time to time, plus Liu Wan sent a letter earlier to ask them to clean up in advance, so the house is refreshing and clean, and there is no dust that has been uninhabited for a long time.
Wang Li likes the small courtyard arranged by his mother, which is quiet and suitable for reading.
When he arrived in the capital, Wang Li went to visit Wang Zhimo non-stop.
After Wang Zhimo took the exam, he also had a lot of appreciation for Wang Li, so Wang Li continued to worship Wang Zhimo's name and began to study tirelessly.
After Liu Wan arrived in the capital, she also kept going, and after discussing with her family, she opened three more small fried shops and two pastry shops in the capital, which just used up the quota for skill sharing.
The capital is very large, and these stores are staggered in Beijing's east, west, north and south, so there is no competitive involution relationship between them.
Liu Wan drew on modern and mature management methods, promoted trustworthy managers, gave them a percentage of shares, and paid dividends at the end of the year, tying them to her chariot.
"Zhang Qi, our three-year contract is almost here, do you see that Wang Ji Xiaofu is so popular, doesn't it depend on the craftsmanship of our gang? Why don't we go out together and open our own restaurant?
I have inquired, opening this restaurant is almost 300 taels of silver is enough, if we don't buy the storefront, we can save a lot, with the way of rent, and then one person out of 150 taels of silver, his own chef, and then hire two guys to run the hall, according to the current situation of Wang Ji Xiao Fried, within one or two months with interest can be earned. ”
Niu San to Zhang Qidao.
The two of them work as cooks in Liu Wan's shop, with a very high income, a salary of five or six taels of silver a month, saving money and frugality, and they can leave about 50 taels of silver a year, who of them does not have a savings of one hundred and eighty taels of silver at present?
But if you open a store by one person, it will be a little difficult, and it will be quite easy to open it with two or three people, and one person will pay 50 or 100 taels of silver.
"But, didn't we sign a three-year deed? If the contract is terminated early, will Shopkeeper Liu ask us to pay the silver? Zhang Qi said worriedly.
"Hmph, the deed she asked us to sign didn't say that she wanted to terminate the contract and pay silver taels, what are you afraid of?"
That seems to make sense.
Under Niu San's persuasion, Zhang Qi and Zheng Liu both submitted their resignations, and they both went to the idea of opening their own stores to make a lot of money.
They thought that Liu Wan would make it difficult for them, but they didn't expect Liu Wan to agree to their request to resign very calmly, without proposing other punishment conditions, but only asking them to write a statement to terminate the contract.
These people are overjoyed, they think that they have learned a superb craft, and it is taught by Shopkeeper Liu himself, if they want to leave, Shopkeeper Liu will definitely obstruct them in every way, or put forward all kinds of favorable conditions to keep them.
They never expected that the shopkeeper Liu agreed so neatly, although the group was ashamed, but driven by the dream of making a fortune, they quickly signed a contract to terminate the agreement.
