The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 187 Buying a Property
Pomegranate knew how much money was in the box without counting it. After all, she was the one who took care of the family business, and she was the one who sent the money to the Song family.

The remaining 140 taels of silver from the previous year were used to pay wages to the family, buy a shop, and Li Jihe was injured. After using these and starting work in the workshop, there were more than 50 taels left.

In the past month or so since the end of the year, the shop has made a profit of more than 40 taels. Liu Dong's family has given away 800 packages of pork floss, 1,300 salted egg yolks and 120 jars of salted egg yolks every five days. For salted egg yolk sauce, Xinglongzhai gives away 40 packs of meat floss and 1,000 salted egg yolks every five days, adding up to a total of 320 packs of meat floss and 8,000 salted egg yolks.

There are also wooden boxes being sent one after another.

It cost fifty ounces of silver to buy the land, as well as the monthly salary and food expenses, the masonry, sand, tiles, and wood reserved for building a new house, as well as the tonics that Mr. Li of the Yuan family took when he was sick, and their own home. Except for the wages, there are now a total of 830 taels of silver in the box.

Mrs. Song's eyes bulged when she heard her counting, "Our family actually has so much silver?"

She originally thought it was a lot more than a hundred taels. She estimated that there were two or three hundred taels. She never thought there were so many.

Eight hundred taels, she had probably never seen so much money in her entire life.

Ah, no, she has seen it now in her life.

Mrs. Song couldn't help but pinch her, and she hissed in pain. It wasn't a dream, their family really had so much money.

She was so excited that she hugged her daughter, "Oh! Why are you so powerful, Pomegranate!"

Pomegranate, whose actual age in two lifetimes combined was about the same as that of Old Yuan, was lifted up into Song's arms like a child, and her entire face turned red.

She didn't expect it. She was so old, but she hadn't been hugged like this for a long time.

"Mom, please let me down first."

Mrs. Song was awakened by her daughter's voice, and then she realized what she was doing. She blushed and felt very embarrassed. Her daughter was so old, and she was still holding her like a child, which was really embarrassing.

But after hugging her, she put him down and pretended as if nothing had happened. She changed the subject and said, "Our family has so much money, so it's enough to buy a house, right?"

Shiliu nodded, "That's enough. That's why I told my mother yesterday that the dowry for the eldest sister is short! When I go to the city tomorrow, I will look at the shops and buy one for the eldest sister if I find something suitable."

Mrs. Song nodded happily, "I'll buy it for you too! I'll buy the house you mentioned next to the county school for you!"

Pomegranate said yes, but she had no intention of doing so. She would wait until she met someone more to her liking later. She was not in a hurry.

Early the next morning, Shiliu took the money box and got on the mule cart driven by Li Jizhong to the city.

When they arrived at the shop, Jinya Man was already waiting. Without further delay, Shiliu went with him to meet the owner of the house in Gongyang Lane. Together with the owner, they went to the Yamen to transfer the ownership of the house. Li Jihe's name.

In addition to paying one hundred and fifty taels for the house, I also paid three taels and one hundred and fifty taels for the deed tax to the Yamen.

After a little calculation, Pomegranate knew that the deed tax would cost 300 yuan for every ten taels. In future generations, you will have to pay a house purchase tax, which is also indispensable here.

But for the shop on Lingshui Street, Pomegranate gave her forty taels of silver. Now it seemed that her adoptive father had given her a lot of advantage.

Of course, there is also a middle fee of three to one hundred and fifty ren to the Jinya man, which is the same as the deed tax.

With sharp eyes, Pomegranate looked at the landlord who also gave Gold-toothed Man a recruitment fee. With these two profits, Gold-Toothed Man actually got a few taels of silver from this one business deal, just for running errands and wasting his money. Tsk, this money Come!

But if someone can be such a famous fan in the city, he should earn the money, otherwise, why don’t you see anyone else who can be such a fan!

Pomegranate just sighed and didn't care, but Jinya Man was happy. He turned around and asked Pomegranate if he wanted to rent this house to earn some rent.

Pomegranate thought for a moment, this house is so big, it is inappropriate for no one to live in it. Brother Zhang is only ten years old this year and has just started going to school. It will be several years before he can go to the city to study. He immediately nodded and let the gold-toothed man Help me connect the dots and rent this house. He also gave him the key he had just received.

The gold-toothed man was happy to have another small business. He immediately took the key and promised to find a good tenant for her, and then took Pomegranate to see the shop.

It was now dinner time, so the man with gold teeth took pomegranates to dinner first and treated him to a small restaurant.

After filling my stomach, I went to visit the shop.

This first shop is in the north of the city, but it is not on the main street of the city. It is at the entrance of Wutong Lane, directly opposite the end of the street in the north of the city.

This shop was originally a tailoring business. The old tailor who opened the shop got seriously ill not long ago and went to see him in a few days. However, his two sons were still young and could not support the business, so the tailor's wife decided to sell the shop and return home. Go to the countryside and rely on your tribe to make a living.

There were a lot of people asking about this shop, but when they heard that the original owner had suffered from a serious illness, they felt it was unlucky.

When Shiliu heard this, she thought it didn't matter, it was just business. She didn't believe it.

It's just a disease that kills a person. It's hard to say that there are no bones beneath our feet on the streets we walk on every day.

Pomegranate put all this aside and looked at the shop seriously.

Only then could we see some doorways. This shop was originally renovated from a neat house. The main house has three east and west wing rooms. Later, the two rooms adjacent to the alley in the south were broken through the wall. The door was opened, the pavement was built, and the entrance hall was moved from the middle to one side.

And for such a house with two shops, ten houses and a large yard, the asking price is eighty taels.

This price, compared with the price outside on the street, a shop with the same area and a few houses in a small courtyard behind two storefronts costs 70 to 80 taels, which is not expensive at all.

Pomegranate's heart moved, but she was thinking of something else.

Immediately, he asked the house again, "Golden Tooth Man, you may have found the house at the entrance of the alley? It doesn't matter the size."

Seeing her looking at the shop and asking about such a house, Jinya Man immediately understood what she meant, "As expected of the pomegranate girl!"

"If you are interested, I will keep it for you!"

Pomegranate nodded and thanked her, and went out of this shop first without waiting to look at the shop behind.

Although it was not on the street, she took a fancy to this large courtyard, and then opened up the two side rooms and connected it with the shop in front. It was spacious and convenient, just like she wanted!

Immediately, I went to see the tailor's wife to go to the Yamen to transfer the ownership. In this shop, Li Jihe's name was still on the pomegranate.

After paying the deed tax of 2 taels and 4 cents, I gave Li Jinya another 2 taels and 4 cents.

Pomegranate then asked Jinya Man to help introduce someone to do the work, and planned to open up the east and west compartment and decorate it properly.

The Jinya people heard that she did not want to rent but wanted to decorate, and they were also curious about what kind of shop she was going to open.

In that specialty shop, now he also specially buys the meat floss and dried meat to feed his daughter and grandchildren at home. Even he can drink two taels of wine every time just with that dried meat.

However, he didn't ask much, he just agreed and introduced someone to Shiliu the next day.

Shiliu met with the people and told them roughly how they wanted to decorate the shop, negotiated the labor price, and agreed that they would pay the labor after they had seen the decoration.
