The second shop was on the street where Liu Yue had rescued Zeng Lili last time.

After seeing the first shop, Liu Yue felt that there was no pie in the sky, and she was also wary of the second shop, and was a little shocked when she found that the other party was just because of the fierce competition and poor business.

Zeng Xian's conscience has been discovered?

Zeng Zhi explained the situation of this shop in detail: "The rouge gouache industry in Pinglu City is monopolized by the Chang family, and adults are unwilling to oppress people with power, so the business of this shop has not been good. ”

Speaking of the Zeng family's rouge gouache or the recipe handed down in Beijing, it stands to reason that it should be very popular in Pinglu City, but the Chang family has a deep foundation in Pinglu City, and the people are used to using his family's things, Zeng Zhi tried a lot of methods, but failed to shake the status of the Chang family.

Originally, I was going to close this shop and change it to other businesses, but I heard Liu Yue say that she wanted to start a shop that sold rouge gouache, so she took the opportunity to sell the shop to Liu Yue. And promised to give the rouge gouache workshop and employees to Liu Yue, without Liu Yue to develop the goods herself.

Liu Yue tried the rouge gouache in the shop, the quality was not bad, and she was very satisfied with the shop.

Although she sold everything in her previous life, she still sells beauty products for the longest time, which is more in line with her, and the beauty industry is more profitable and accumulates wealth faster.

Zeng Xian is finally not too pitiful, Liu Yue thought for a while and decided to continue the mutton business first, after all, the wronged boss is willing to pay half of the cost! This saves a lot of money.

As for the solution to the smell, she should be able to get it by going back and flipping through the book, and the mutton she eats in modern times doesn't have any smell.

Zeng Zhi took Liu Yue to see the rouge workshop and recognized the staff, because the business was not good, there were not many people in the two shops, there were twelve employees in the restaurant, three cooks, one shopkeeper, six running boys, two sprinkling and sweeping, the rouge shop and the workshop were a total of eight people, six in the workshop, one man, the shopkeeper was in the shop, all of whom were under the Zeng family who signed the death deed, Zeng Zhi gave the deed to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue smacked her tongue, this official in ancient times was really rich, this kind of slave who signed a death contract cost at least seventy or eighty two, and Zeng Xian actually gave twenty of them.

The advantage of holding the deed in your hand is that you don't have to worry about being betrayed, after all, this kind of subordinate who signed the death deed is his own property, and the owner does not have to bear the responsibility even if he is killed.

Liu Yue instinctively disliked it, but she also knew that she was powerless to change the status quo, and she just thought that if she cooperated happily in the future, she would return the deed to those people.

Liu Yue, who was handed over to the shop, did not rush back to the village, but discussed with Shen Qingyan and Ling An about buying a house in the city.

Shen Lingan was a little puzzled: "Sister-in-law, won't we have a house?" ”

Shen Qingyan thought it was good: "After buying a house in the city, Qingyan and Yixiu can go home and live every day." It's also convenient for us to do business. ”

Shen Qingyan also saw that Liu Yue seemed to come to the city to do business not only to improve their living standards, but also to accumulate strength in order to deal with something.

Knowing that Liu Yue didn't want to say it, he didn't ask, just obeyed Liu Yue's arrangement.

After getting along for more than a month, he already understood that Liu Yue was really protecting them.

Liu Yue nodded and shook her head again: "Not only that, I also hope that Ling An will also go to study." ”

Pinglucheng's female school and Fuxue are on the same street, and the commuting time is about the same, and Ling'an can go to school with Shen Jingcheng after that.

When Shen Lingan heard that he was going to school, he suddenly had a bitter face: "Can you not go?" ”

It's tiring enough to be stared at by my big brother every day to learn words and multiplication, why do I have to go to school now.

Shen Qingyan also had this idea, he had a headache for the naughty Ling An, and he had been thinking about sending her to the women's school to learn some rules, but he had temporarily shelved the plan because Ling An was still young and the family was not rich. I was going to do more copying work in the winter to save some tuition for Ling An.

I didn't expect Liu Yue to be the first to mention this matter.

Liu Yue felt that Ling An was still young, although there was no such thing as nine-year compulsory education in ancient times, Liu Yue still felt that it was inappropriate to let seven-year-old Ling An mix with them on the street every day to sell goods.

Children should look like children, and reading is the best destination for children!

Both of them tacitly ignored Shen Lingan's wails, and decided to buy a good house and send her to school after moving.

The process of looking at the house is very smooth, the tooth merchant picked a Taoli Lane for them to be close to the school and the medical hall, and the yard that took them to see was in the back of the alley, which was neither too noisy nor too lonely, it was a small courtyard with two entrances, there was a row of people living in the inverted house, two wing rooms in the east and west, the middle was the hall house plus the main room, the yard was not small, and a small pond was dug to raise fish, many children in the alley were studying in the house and private school, and the learning atmosphere in the alley was very strong. The tooth merchant also said that the feng shui of this house is good, and the son of the original owner has entered high school and is an official in the capital, and he has to take his parents over to enjoy the blessings before deciding to sell the house. There are many people who rush to buy this house, and if you want to start, you have to hurry.

Liu Yue has a sense of immediacy of "Meng's mother's three moves", and she is satisfied with all aspects of this house, but the price is too expensive.

"One thousand three hundred taels?"

Liu Yue smacked her tongue.

Even if she has made a lot of money recently, she is still a little reluctant to make money. Sure enough, no matter what era it is, buying a house has to be hung up with a layer of skin.

The average price of a house in Taoli Lane is between 800 taels and 1,500 taels, which is a bit expensive as a medium-sized house.

Liu Yue sent Shen Qingyan to bargain, but this house was in demand, and the tooth merchant was not worried about business and was unwilling to back down at all, so Liu Yue had to give up the house and let the tooth merchant take them to see something else.

The tooth merchant took them to see a house in a shop in the depths of Taoli Lane, which was similar in structure to the previous one, and even a little larger, but only nine hundred taels.

The price is so low because of the son.

The son of this family was also a scholar, just married and was preparing for the autumn of the coming year, but then he got involved in gambling, lost all the money in the family, and owed a lot of money to the casino, and was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, although the person died, but the casino did not let go of this one, forcing the two old people to pay back the money for his son, the bride was so frightened that she fled back to the two houses, only two old people were left to face these things, and the old people in the family were forced to be helpless, so they could only sell the house, and the price was a little lower so they were sold urgently. The two old men were also there when they looked at the house, saying that if Liu Yue sincerely bought the house, the price could be lower.

Liu Yue also clearly saw the difference between the two houses, although the last house has not been inhabited for a long time, but can still see the owner's love for the house, the flowers and trees are well maintained, you can feel a strong atmosphere of the house when you walk in, and the owner of this house even lives, but the courtyard is depressed, a group of slaughter.

Many people came to see the house, but after learning that the owner's house had bad feng shui, they gave up.

Liu Yue didn't mind the problem of feng shui, just take care of the depression of the yard, looking at the gray faces of the two old men, she rarely didn't let Shen Qingyan bargain, and happily paid nine hundred taels and asked the tooth merchant to go through the formalities.

Solving the matter of the house, Liu Yue also decided to go home, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance when she walked to the end of the alley.

To complain, I've been preparing to buy a house recently, it's too expensive

Guess who Liu Yue met?
