The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 208 The Root of Chaos

Fang Qingqing naturally didn't want Li Xiuping to be implicated, but now that things haven't happened, she can't speak ill of people for no reason.

Not to mention whether Li Xiuping would believe it, how did she know?

Moreover, real life has deviated from the plot in the book, how do you know that the villain will not change?

That Jingbang No. [-], no, it should be Jing editor;

This year's imperial examinations were so good that the top three candidates entered the Imperial Academy together, which was different from those candidates who came from the same background as Jinshi.

Jinshi and the top three can directly enter the Hanlin Academy without being selected by the library, and they will be editors and editors.

Similar official positions, just separated by half a grade.

Editor Jing helped their family a lot this time, because in addition to inquiring about the specific price, his capable servant also inquired about some gossip.

In the family letter, Li Xiuping also wrote it out, and Fang Qingqing also told her in-laws and brother-in-law:

"Brother Sanlang's friends found out that the adult behind the boss had offended someone in the officialdom, so he just took advantage of the family affairs to return home to Ding You.

It is because they want to make a comeback in three years, so in fact, they also hope that they can rent out the restaurant, so that the selling price can be set so high.

If our family really wants it, his friends can help, and it can reach 450 taels a year. "

450 taels is much less than the 660 taels previously thought of, and everyone in the old Li family has confidence in Mrs. Li's cooking skills.

Shi Shi was even more straightforward, asking: "Qingqing, what do you think?"

Qingqing is a blessed person, as long as she agrees, it will be right.

It has to be said that they are people who have supported each other for a lifetime. Old man Li saw what the old woman was thinking at a glance, and snorted:
"Is it useful if the third daughter-in-law agrees? 500 taels, can you get it?"

The rent needs to be 500 taels, plus you need to prepare some money to open a shop, so you need [-] taels.

Shi Shi hesitated, feeling more and more that this old man was too annoying.

In fact, now that she has a son and a girl who have grown up, she doesn't need to worry about her elders, and she has such a good daughter-in-law as Qingqing.

In fact, it's good for the old man to stay in his hometown alone, Shi Shi couldn't figure it out, why did she listen to the third child and send a message back to let the old man follow him to Beijing?
Fang Qingqing looked at the price written on the paper, the precautions, etc., and thought for a while.

He raised his head and said to Shi Shi: "Mother, we have all visited that restaurant, the location is too small and it is very suitable. Moreover, it is in the capital city, so the price is very suitable for renting it.

It used to be a restaurant, plus the circle of friends of the original owner, there must be old customers.

And I have confidence in my sister-in-law's cooking skills. If we do it carefully, we will definitely not lose money.

The main reason is that we don't need to ask for extra work, and we can completely ask our family members to help in the store, and we will feel more at ease. "

Now that she has decided to do this, Fang Qingqing naturally has to consider all aspects of the problem and explain it clearly to everyone from the beginning.

"But at the beginning, it was difficult for the store to make a profit in the first few months.

When we were in the county town before, the rice noodles and vegetables in the shop were all brought from the village by my father and elder brother, but now we have to buy them separately, and the cost is much higher.

After the first few months, I think I should be able to support our family later on. "

It may not make a fortune, but it won't be too bad.

There is no need to say the latter sentence to other people, so as not to hurt their morale.

So Mrs. Li was even more tempted: "I also think that the bigger restaurant is better, not to mention the spacious space. If the business is good at night and we are too busy, we can simply live in the shop."

It just so happened that if all the people crowded into this house, some of them would not be able to live in it.

If she rents that place, she can live there with Li Dalang and Da Mao Niuniu, just in time to get up early to steam buns and make bean curd.

That's a good idea, it's just about the money—

Gritting his teeth, old man Li turned around and pulled out a small wooden box from under the |bed|, which he specially built with scraps of wood at home.

Very precious, almost all the net worth is inside.

They also made some preparations before they came. Since Sister Li and the others took care of the shops in their hometown county, they would definitely only go back to visit occasionally in the future.

When I arrive in the capital, I must think of other ways to make a living, so besides using a lot of time to teach my eldest sister some of the work on the stove.

Another one is, except for leaving some spare copper coins, the rest of Li Dalang went to exchange them for silver and they took them on the road.

Because the business of Li's noodle restaurant is stable, and most of the rice, flour, grain, oil, and vegetables that are needed are brought from the village.

The money needed is not much, and Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang have also said that they will help take care of it.

It can be said that they took away most of the money, plus the copper coins converted from the output in the fields, and the income from concocting medicinal materials and pharmacies.

Now in old man Li's treasure chest, there are three hundred and fifty taels and seven hundred wen.

There are odds and ends, which seems to be quite a lot, but in fact it is not enough.

But, plus everyone's private houses and the expenses that the imperial court subsidized for Li Xiuping's family.

In the end, Fang Qingqing took out 50 taels to make up for it, and even Li Xiaomei took out the only five taels of silver on her body to make up enough.

Shi made a final decision: "Everything from each of you is considered a loan from the public, and the shop will definitely return it to you when it makes money."

This point was taught to her by the third daughter-in-law after she learned how to count, and her brothers clearly settled accounts.

If the accounts in the family are vague, the eldest will suffer a little loss today, the second will be less the next day, and the third will be the day after tomorrow...

If you don't talk about it, everyone will definitely have different ideas in their hearts. Disagreement is the root of chaos.

After discussing all these, Li Erlang said: "Okay, tomorrow I will go to Yaren to discuss the price."

Shi Shi also said: "Yes, Erlang, you can talk about it yourself first, so you don't have to bother Sanlang's colleagues all the time."

If you owe too much favor, you can't pay it back. At that time, you will cause trouble for yourself instead.

Second Wife Li muttered softly: "We already know the lowest price offered by the owner of that restaurant, why do we need to hire a middleman? At that time, we will have to spend more money?"

"What do you know, renting a shop is the same as buying a shop, there must be complicated ways in it. Those dental shops here are local snakes. We would rather spend more money than be tricked by others." Shi said mercilessly The second daughter-in-law was reprimanded.

Fang Qingqing realized that it was a great wife to have a smart, capable and reasonable mother-in-law at home.

Like these words, she couldn't tell the second sister-in-law so bluntly, but she said it too implicitly and worried that people wouldn't understand.
