After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 90 Buying a Restaurant

After finishing the business, it was still early, Gu Qing took the two of them for a stroll in the street, planning to buy something for everyone back home.

As I was walking, I suddenly saw a piece of paper pasted on the door of a two-story shop with four words written on it: The shop is for sale.

Seeing Gu Qing stop, Yang Pei also looked over, his eyes lit up: "Patriarch, this shop is very suitable for a restaurant."

Although it is not in the center of the main street, it is still on the street. It has two floors and is very spacious. There is even a small yard behind it.

This place is currently a tea house, but the business is deserted, only a waiter is cleaning the table, and there is no other person in sight.

As soon as the three of them entered, the shop waiter warmly greeted them: "Would you like to drink tea or listen to books, but today is not a coincidence, the storyteller's family has something to do, but the tea is the best tea, I will pour it for the three of you." superior."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Let your shopkeepers come out for a while, I want to talk about buying a shop."

The waiter immediately raised his voice: "Shopkeeper Wang, the buyer of the shop is here."

A middle-aged man in a long gown hurried out of the backyard, with a sad face and a very thin man.

Gu Qing can also understand that such a big shop loses money every day, and anyone would be heartbroken.

"This shop was passed down from our Wang family's ancestors. Originally, I didn't want to resell the ancestral property, but there is really no other way."

Shopkeeper Wang sighed, "Since my old father passed away, the business of this teahouse has deteriorated day by day. I am not good at running the shop, and my son doesn't like to take care of the shop. It has been like this for three years. I think it's better to sell it.

The original asking price was 200 taels of silver, but those people ran away as soon as they heard the price. "

Gu Qing walked around the shop, and also went to the backyard. Although the shop is inherited from the ancestors, it should be repaired every year. It is well maintained inside and out. The windows and door frames have been painted new. The two trees in the backyard are doing well.

"Okay, then 1000 taels." Gu Qing responded.

During this period of time, I have mainly relied on desserts and silver accessories to make a fortune. Excluding all costs for lo mei, the daily profit is about 15 taels of silver.

After one month, there is income and expenditure, and there are about 8000 taels of silver in hand.

The soap business has already started, and the wages for planting flower seedlings in the village have all been settled. Gu Qing is not short of money, and directly took out ten silver notes of one hundred taels.

Shopkeeper Wang posted a shop sign for sale, and this was the first time he had seen a bank note.

He sighed with difficulty, and said: "I have another unfeeling request. The second child in the teahouse, named Wang Ergou, is a child of a distant relative of our Wang family. All the elders in the family are dead. Food, I hope you can let this child continue to keep this child for food..."

Gu Qing glanced at the child. Although there was no business in the teahouse, the child was busy cleaning the tables and stairs, really diligent.

She nodded: "If he works hard, I'll keep him. If he dares to play tricks, I'll throw him out even if he breaks his promise."

Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "Madam Gu, don't worry, there will definitely not be such a day."

The matter was settled like this, and the contract was signed and went to the Yamen to pass the title deed.

Sitting in the teahouse, Gu Qing skillfully opened the mall to find the customer service, and spent 500 taels of silver to hand over the decoration of the restaurant to the mall. The renovation will take ten days. When she came out of the teahouse, Gu Qing lowered her eyebrows and thought.

After the soap workshop starts, the output will only increase in the future, and only Mrs. Song's family can't do it.

Ruyang is the capital city of another province, and it is a prosperous place mentioned in many books in this dynasty. The market there is probably bigger than Nanzhou Prefecture City.

Another reason is that if she wants to grow cotton next year, she must find an opportunity to buy cotton seeds in other places. Of course they can buy cotton seeds in the mall, but if she can't tell the source, she will easily get into trouble.

After all, she has a very long face in front of the county magistrate now, and there are too many eyes staring at her secretly.

She said, "Let's go to the Dahe County Wharf to have a look."

Gu Yu didn't ask anything, and followed the two to Dahe County.

The wharf is always the busiest place. Countless men are waiting to carry goods on the wharf. Some ships are loading and some are unloading. There are people coming and going everywhere.

Yang Pei arrived at the door of a house in the southeast corner of the pier.

There is a sign hanging under the eaves: Cao Ji Shipping.

"Excuse me, I booked a boat ride here more than half a month ago, how long will I have to wait?"

The boy sitting by the counter laughed: "It's really lucky for you to come today. You had to wait for more than ten days, but yesterday a ship came back early. It's going to Ruyang tomorrow. People who go to Ruyang can Go straight up, and if you decide to leave, pay the money first, [-] Wen per person, I will issue a voucher here, and then take the voucher to the government to stamp it, and you can only board the ship with this thing."

Yang Pei turned to look at Gu Qing: "Patriarch, I thought about it, our family produces a lot of soap, and Song Mansion alone may not be able to eat so much, why don't I go to Ruyang to find opportunities."

"I'll go with you." Gu Qing glanced at Yang Pei appreciatively, she didn't expect this kid to think so fast, it can be seen that he was born to do business.

Taking out a tael of silver from her pocket, Gu Qing said: "This is the boat fare for three people."

The boy quickly tore off three vouchers and handed them out.

She took the voucher and said, "Yu'er, you go with me too."

Gu Yu was excited and incoherent: "I, can I go to Ruyang too... I have never been to a place farther than Dahe County, elder sister, what do I need to do?"

Yang Pei's heart is full of spring.

For him, the Patriarch actually wants to go to Ruyang by boat.

But the waterway was bumpy and uncomfortable all day and night, could the Patriarch's frail body withstand it?

His face was slightly red, and he said: "Patriarch, it is a long way to go to Ruyang, I can go alone, Patriarch is waiting for my good news at home."

Gu Qing said softly: "Madam Song's only one channel for the soap business is still too small. At least three more channels must be developed to ensure that the soap business can continue in a stable manner. We can expand channels as soon as possible if we go together!"

These words not only did not make Yang Pei feel at ease, but made him a little more guilty.

If he can be alone, why bother to follow him so far...

He has to work harder, he has to work hard to grow, he has to become a towering tree, and protect the Patriarch from wind and rain...

How did Gu Qing know that this kid was full of such thoughts, she went shopping and bought some snacks to eat, and then went back home.

The carriage galloped back to Gujia Village.

The sun is getting westward.

Zhu Han started preparing dinner.

Gu Yu quickly helped out at the side. Seeing this girl picking up an ax to chop firewood, Gu Qing hurriedly said: "I'll let you, Brother Rong, do the firewood chopping. Just help light the fire!"

Yang Huai's voice sounded from the backyard: "Sister Gu, it's bad, a chicken leg is broken!"
