I brought goods live in ancient times, and I became rich and raised the regent

Chapter 74 Buying a House in the School District

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

After seeing the first shop, Liu Yue felt that there was no such thing as a white pie in the sky, and she was also wary of the second shop, and was a little surprised when she found out that the other shop was not doing well because of fierce competition.

Zeng Xian found out?
Zeng Zhi explained the situation of this shop in detail: "The rouge and gouache industry in Pinlu City is monopolized by the Chang family, and the adults are unwilling to overwhelm others, so the business of this shop has not been good."

Speaking of which, the Zeng family's rouge gouache is still a recipe handed down from 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 products. Zeng Zhi Tried many methods, but failed to shake the status of the Chang family.

Originally, he planned to close this shop and switch to other businesses, but when he heard Liu Yue said that he wanted to set up a shop selling rouge and gouache, he took advantage of the opportunity and transferred the shop to Liu Yue.And promised to give Liu Yue the rouge gouache workshop and staff together, and Liu Yue does not need to develop products by herself.

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

Although she has sold everything in her previous life, she has been selling beauty products for the longest time. This is more suitable for her, and the profit of the beauty industry is higher, and the speed of accumulating wealth is faster.

Zeng Xian was finally not too bad, Liu Yue thought about it for a while and decided to continue with the mutton business, after all, there is a bully who is willing to pay half of the cost!This can save a lot of money.

As for the solution to the smell, I should be able to figure it out by going back and reading the book. The mutton she ate in modern times doesn't have any smell.

Zeng Zhi took Liu Yue to see the rouge workshop and recognized the employees. 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 waiters, two There are a total of eight people in the rouge shop and workshop, six in the workshop, and one clerk and shopkeeper in the shop. They are all servants of the Zeng family who signed a death contract, and Zeng Zhi gave the body contract to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue clicked her tongue, this official in ancient times was really rich, this kind of servant who signed a death contract cost at least 80 to [-] taels, Zeng Xian unexpectedly gave away [-].

The advantage of holding the body deed is that you don't have to worry about being betrayed. After all, this kind of servant who signed the death deed is his own property, and the master doesn't have to bear the responsibility even if he is killed.

Liu Yue was instinctively displeased, but she also knew that she was powerless to change the status quo, she just thought that if she could cooperate happily in the future, she would return the bond to those people.

Handing over to the shop Liu Yue did not return to the village in a hurry, but discussed with Shen Qingyan and Ling An about buying a house in the city.

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

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

Shen Qingyan could also see that Liu Yue came to the city to do business not only to improve their living standards, but also to accumulate strength to deal with something.

Knowing that Liu Yue didn't want to speak out, he didn't ask, but 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, then shook her head again: "Not only that, I also hope that Ling An can also go to study."

The women's school and the government school in Pinglu City are on the same street, and the commuting time is about the same. After Ling An can go to school with Shen Jingcheng,

When Shen Ling'an heard that she was going to school, she immediately put on a bitter face: "Can I not go?"

Being stared at by my elder brother every day to learn words and multiplication is already tiring enough, why do I have to go to school now?

Shen Qingyan also had this idea, he was quite troubled by the mischievous Ling An, and had been planning to send her to a women's school to learn some manners, but because of Ling An's young age and poor family life, he temporarily shelved the plan.I planned to do more copying work in winter to save Ling'an's tuition.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yue would 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 for seven-year-old Ling An to mix with them and sell goods on the street every day.

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

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

The process of looking at the house was very smooth. The dentist picked a Taoli Lane for them, which is very close to the government school and medical center. The yard he showed them was at the back of the alley. In the small courtyard with two entrances, there is a row of inverted houses where the servants live. There are two wing rooms in the east and west, and the main room and the main house in the middle. Studying in government schools and private schools, the learning atmosphere in the alley is very strong.The tooth merchant also said that the Feng Shui of the house was good, and that the son of the original owner was a high school jinshi and an official in the capital, so he decided to sell the house because he wanted to take his parents there to enjoy the blessings.There are many people scrambling to buy this house, so you have to hurry if you want to start. .

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

"One thousand five hundred taels?"

Liu Yue clicked her tongue.

Even though she has indeed earned a lot of money recently, she is still a bit reluctant to part with the money.Sure enough, no matter what era it is, buying a house has to be hung up.

The average price of houses in Taoli Lane is between 800 taels and 500 taels. As a medium-sized house, the price is indeed a bit expensive.

Liu Yue sent Shen Qingyan to negotiate the price, but the house was in high demand, and the dentist was not worried about business, and he was unwilling to give in at all, so Liu Yue had no choice but to reluctantly give up the house and let the dentist take them to see others.

The dentist took them to see a house in a store in the depths of Taoli Lane. This house was similar in structure to the previous house, even a little bigger, but it only cost 900 taels.

The price is so low also because of the son.

The son of this family was originally a scholar. He just got married and was preparing for next year's autumn festival, but later got involved in gambling, lost all the family's money, owed a lot to the casino, and was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. The man died, but the casino did not let this family go, forcing the two old men to pay back the money for their son, the bride fled back to the two families in fright, and only two old men were left to face these things. I can sell the house, but the sale is urgent, so the price is a little lower.The two old men were also there during the house viewing, saying that if Liu Yue bought the house sincerely, the price could be lower.

Liu Yue could also clearly see the difference between the two houses. Although the previous house had not been lived in for a long time, it could still be seen that the owner loved the house. The flowers, plants and trees were well taken care of. There is a strong atmosphere of a scholarly home, and the owner of this house even lives there, but the courtyard is desolate and chilling.

Many people came to see the house, but they gave up because they thought Feng Shui was not good after learning about the owner's house.

Liu Yue didn't mind the problem of feng shui, as long as the yard was depressed, it would be enough to take care of it. Looking at the dispirited faces of the two old people, she rarely asked Shen Qingyan to negotiate the price, and readily paid 900 taels, and asked the dentist to go through the formalities.

Having settled the matter of the house, Liu Yue also decided to go home, but she didn't expect to run into an acquaintance at the end of the alley.

　Let me make a joke, I am also planning to buy a house recently, it is too expensive
　　Guess who Liu Yue met?
