Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 170 New Teahouse (Third Watch)

Zhang Hongwen has the least money, and Zhang Guangyi has already told him that they can make money by investing in teahouses, and they are all under the care of Du Jinning and others. When they need capital, they only need to take out the money, and when they need him to contribute, they don’t want anything else. Talkative.For this reason, even if Zhang Hongwen didn't know that Du Jinning and Guan Jiaze had an unpleasant fight because of Chen Jiaxing and others, but following this principle when getting along with the other three, nothing happened, and there was no dissatisfaction with each other.

As for the shareholding, Du Jinning still holds [-]% of the new teahouse, but she bought the [-]% with money.

She had more than twenty taels on hand, and Liang Xiankuan gave another 160 taels for the sofa.The prices of the two teahouses were suppressed by Yuan An, and they were sold at 190 taels and 210 taels respectively. After making some tables and chairs and repairing the teahouses, the two teahouses cost 420 taels in total, and Du Jinning had to spend 100 taels. Silver comes.

However, this time, Du Jinning’s scriptures were no longer purchased in the form of dry shares. Instead, they were sold directly to teahouses at a price of two taels of silver per copy like Du’s dried tofu and tea eggs. Other copyrights were reserved by Du Jinning. .Even the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" republished by the new teahouse also needs to pay her two taels of silver for each volume.Before that, Du Jinning wrote a total of eight volumes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Du Jinning directly handed in four volumes of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" in order to pay for the money. Guan Qi Muyuan needed to borrow money, and he had 20 taels of silver left over.

Du Jinning simply lent the 20 taels of silver to Zhang Hongwen to pay for the shares, and Zhang Hongwen raised 22 taels from his family to make up enough money for a share.

As for Shu Xiu after the next year, Du Jinning has also calculated well.Now the three teahouses are receiving money every day, just like the golden rooster that lays eggs, and the three shops can get more than ten taels of silver into the account a day.After the academy starts on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the teahouse will be able to earn more than 100 taels of silver.At that time, everyone will divide the money first, and he will get 50 taels of silver for himself. The money Zhang Hongwen gets can be returned to her immediately. In addition, it is a holiday now, and there is plenty of time. Du Jinning can also write a few more scripts Come out, you don't have to worry about the money for repairs.

Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan each accounted for [-]% of the remaining [-]%.

With a new teahouse, there must be a storyteller.With the example of Qian Dongbao, when the storytellers in the city heard that Boyue Teahouse wanted to recruit people, they all came to the teahouse to apply for the job, except for those who had signed a contract with the owner and couldn't leave.After Du Jinning and the others interviewed them, four storytellers remained.

Three teahouses and five storytellers, although they gave two monthly payments for nothing, it also prevented these people from thinking that the teahouse needs to be supported by him alone, which would give rise to arrogance. substitute.The stage time of the five storytellers is arranged according to the quality of the storytellers.If you speak well, you will talk about new content; if you speak poorly, you will repeat the previous content in the second session.

These things were planned by Du Jinning, the small owner, at the beginning of buying the teahouse. Zhuang Yue, the newly appointed shopkeeper, didn't have to worry about it except for training the new errand.All the business models of the new teahouse were copied from the old teahouse, and the purchase channels for snacks and snacks were the same, so although it only took three or four days to prepare, Zhuang Yue didn't feel in a hurry.

Because of this, on the day the new teahouse opened, Du Jinning was able to act as a hands-off shopkeeper, carrying gifts around to pay New Year's greetings.

Guan Le and there are the first to go.At the beginning of the apprenticeship, due to the complicated family situation, there was no way to show the teacher's ceremony, so Du Jinning only bowed and accepted it as a teacher.Now, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, it is known that she has received a bet of money from Liang Xiankuan, so she naturally prepared a relatively generous gift and sent it to her; Yuan Xiuzhu and Qi Bokun were not left behind either.Of course, the three elders also gave back gifts and a big red envelope, saying it was lucky money.

When Du Jinning came back from Qi Bokun's place, the mother and daughter of the third house sat and worried about each other: "Brother Ning, do you want to go to your grandfather's place?"

Du Jinning frowned, and said reluctantly: "The head of the mountain and Mr. Yuan both specifically told me that I must go back to Taohua Village to pay New Year's greetings."

"Why do you want to go? Didn't we cut ties with them? We also entrusted Zhang Hongwen to bring back the tribute money for the Chinese New Year. Is it considered as the end of our love? Others can't say anything about us. If you go to pay New Year's greetings, maybe they It's going to get involved again, if you don't take advantage of it, it will be endless." Du Fangling said angrily, "It's not that the head of the mountain doesn't know about our family's situation, why did he ask Brother Ning to pay a New Year's greeting?"

For Guan Lehe and Yuan Xiuzhu's exhortations, Chen can understand.

She helped Guan Lehe explain: "Guan Shanzhang and Mr. Yuan are also afraid of affecting Brother Ning's reputation. In the future, if he gets a good name in the exam, if someone writes to the school officer saying that he is not filial, he will not pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather during the Chinese New Year. Then his fame will be taken away."

Du Fangling was dumbfounded for a moment, and said embarrassingly: "Then Brother Ning, you should go to pay New Year's greetings. It is not worthwhile to influence the fame of those people."

Du Fanghui also nodded heavily.

Du Jinning and Chen Shi looked at each other, and both smiled wryly.

Du Fangling and Du Fanghui went in without knowing it, but Du Jinning, Chen Shi, and Du Fangfei knew that it was impossible for Du Jinning to take part in the imperial examination, let alone obtain fame.But they can't say these things, so Guan Lehe and Yuan Xiuzhu's words are not easy to listen to.

Mrs. Chen sighed, and said: "You should go there, you are valued by the head of the mountain now, and they dare not do anything to you."

Du Jinning nodded: "Anyway, if you're going to visit your uncle's house, you should take it as a drop in." As he spoke, he mentioned the gift prepared by Mrs. Chen.

The gifts inside are not thin, there is a live chicken, two catties of pork, two packets of Liu Ji's pastries, and one catty of brown sugar.In order to avoid gossip, Du Yinsheng and Du Chensheng both have the same etiquette.Originally, Mrs. Chen also prepared a pack of dried tofu separately, but she was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so she took it out just now.

"Things are very heavy, I ask your elder sister and third sister to take you to the academy and get on a carriage before you come back." Chen said again.Although no one came to pay New Year's greetings, as the head of the family, she had to stay at home today.

Although after the separation, under Du Jinning's strong request, he now eats three meals a day, white rice, buys a catty of pork every now and then to dip some meat, and scrambles a plate of eggs from time to time, but in such a short period of time, it is not enough. The members of the Du family took good care of their bodies, but Du Jinning still looked thin and didn't grow much flesh.These two baskets weighed about ten catties in total, and Du Jinning really couldn't carry them very far.

　There will be another update at seven o'clock.
