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

Chapter 396 Nagging
Fifty thousand taels?
That's a lot of money.

The shopkeeper's face became even more eager when he thought of the high handling fee. "Ms. Li, have you brought the silver? Do you want a clerk to help carry it?"

The bank clerk came out to help unload the truck and carried all fifty boxes into the bank.

As the boxes were opened one by one, the shopkeeper's eyes sparkled when he saw the white silver ingots inside.

He knew this Miss Li. In just three years, she had grown from a small village girl to her current wealth. She was able to do business with Mr. Liu's family, so she should not be underestimated.

Last year, the new woolen fabrics were so scarce that many people didn’t get to buy them. But people were very envious. I heard that many people had already made reservations at the Liu family early on.

He had also heard about the price of the woolen fabric, so he was not surprised that Miss Li could save 50,000 taels of silver.

He was sure that the silver was real, but the money shop also had its own rules.

The shopkeeper apologized to Shi Liu, and then the shop assistants brought a scale and carefully took out the silver ingots from the box, weighed them skillfully, and carefully identified the authenticity and quality of the silver ingots. Every action was rigorous and professional, and no mistakes were allowed.

Shi Liu couldn't help but nod secretly as he watched from the side. As a money shop owner, it was only right for him to be rigorous.

After confirming that the money is correct, the shopkeeper takes out a thick account book, uses a brush dipped in ink, and records the name of the depositor, the amount, and the date of deposit in detail. Each stroke is not only a record of numbers, but also an engraving of trust and commitment.

Afterwards, the shopkeeper gave Shi Liu a special bill with the bank's seal on it as a receipt for withdrawing money in the future. This was the bank's bill unique to Huitong Bank.

As long as he had this banknote and the secret code he left when depositing the money, no matter where Shi Liu went in the future, south or north, the capital or the border, as long as there was a money exchange, he could withdraw money at any time.

In this age of underdeveloped transportation and information, achieving this requires a considerable investment in manpower and material resources, so one in ten is really not expensive.

After investing 50,000 taels, Shi Liu received a bill for 45,000 taels of deposited silver. He was filled with emotion.

If I didn't have a lot of money, I would really not be willing to spend these five thousand taels of silver. I could use it to hire a few more people. Wouldn't it be so nice to have them at home?

But, there are benefits to saving it.

After leaving the money shop, Shi Liu went directly to Tongwanzhai.

As the head office of Li Ji Children's Toys, this business in Luoshui City has always been good. The county's population increases every year and there is never a shortage of children. It is normal for wealthy families to replace the slide sets for their children once a year.

When Shi Liu went in, Li Rongzi and later Li Rongzhu were greeting the incoming customers. Behind the counter, Li Rongzhong was pointing at the account book and talking to Li Rongwu.

"Brother, fourth cousin."

Hearing the voice, they both looked up at the same time, and saw Shi Liu standing in front of the counter, and they couldn't help but grin.

"Pomegranate, when did you come into the city?"

"Yesterday." Shi Liu glanced at the account book. "How are things going lately? Is everything going well for Fourth Cousin?"

Since it was decided to promote Li Rongwu to be the shopkeeper of Tongwanzhai, Li Rongzong brought Li Rongwu to work at the beginning of this year. As for using an abacus and learning to read, several people learned it from Li Jizong in the beginning.

Having been in charge of the counter for half a year, Li Rongwu is quite familiar with the job. When asked about it, he smiled and nodded, but was not arrogant.

Li Rongzong said, "I've gotten the hang of it. Rongwu is very meticulous. I think he's better at it than I am!"

After listening to this, Shi Liu couldn't help but say, "Then after Grandpa's birthday, Fourth Cousin will officially be the manager!"

When Li Rongwu heard this, he was delighted and said, "Don't worry, Shi Liu, I will do my best!" Shi Liu smiled and said, "I heard that my cousin's wife is pregnant?"

"Yes!" Speaking of this, Li Rongwu was also excited about becoming a father and couldn't stop himself.

But my wife had been pregnant for a while and had severe morning sickness, which was also worrying. "My mother is working in the workshop and has no time to spare. Look, my mother-in-law is serving her, so I thought about buying a little maid to save the trouble of my father-in-law's family all the time."

Shi Liu thought this was a good idea. "It's good to buy someone, but it's better to buy a maid. She has more experience and can help take care of the baby after my cousin gives birth."

Third Aunt is in charge of the food workshop, so it is not convenient for her to take a long vacation. With this money, it would be practical to buy a maid.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Shi Liu! I'll go find the Gold Tooth Man after we close today!"

Shi Liu also laughed. Now their village is really familiar with the Jin Ya man. Look at the village, anyone who wants to buy a house in the city will go to the Jin Ya man. Even his cousin who wants to buy a wife, he goes to the Jin Ya man.

"Golden Tooth people only deal with the buying and selling of land and houses. As for buying a wife, Fourth Cousin, you can take some time tomorrow morning to go to the brokerage firm on West Street in front and look for a wife. All brokerage firms are good."

Hu Zhen and others around her were all bought from this dental shop.

Li Rongwu nodded in agreement and then talked about his grandfather's birthday.

Li Rongzong said, "I plan to go home tomorrow afternoon, so I'll let Rongzhu keep an eye on the shop."

For Old Man Li's birthday, his two grandsons, Li Rongzhong and Li Rongwu, naturally had to go back. The same went for his nephew Li Rongzi. Then only Li Rongzhu was left. Although he was also a grandson of the family according to seniority, there was still a level of separation between them, so it would not be a good idea for him not to go back.

Shi Liu listened and said, "Let's go back early tomorrow morning. It's Grandpa's 60th birthday. Let's celebrate it. Let's go back. Just put up a sign in the shop saying that the shop will be closed for three days because of a happy event for the owner."

"Row!"

Shi Liu then went to the specialty shop and told Li Rongyu and Li Jizu that she would go back early the next morning. Naturally, the specialty shop would be closed for three days.

As for the candy shop, Li Jizong will go back tomorrow. There are still clerks in the shop, Ding family's clerks, so there should be no problem selling things and settling accounts.

Not to mention the herbal medicine restaurant, as long as there is a shopkeeper there, there is no need to close it.

After strolling around for a while, Shi Liu went to her eldest sister's house for lunch.

Li Xiangli was so happy to see Shi Liu, "You went to the city yesterday, why didn't you come home yesterday? You sent some gifts. The flower cakes tasted great. I ate three of them! And the fabric, I thought it would be great for making clothes for the children. Shi Liu, you too, went on a long journey and brought back so many things. How was the trip? Was it hard?"

Pomegranate burst out laughing.

Li Xiangli looked puzzled, "Shi Liu, what are you laughing at?"

"My eldest sister is going to be a mother soon, she is nagging!"

Li Xiangli pretended to tickle her, "You little girl, you're making fun of me!"

Shi Liu pretended to hide, but was actually carefully protecting Li Xiangli's belly.

The belly of four months pregnant was already noticeable, but it didn't look heavy. However, Li Xiangli even started to pant after tossing and turning for a while.

Shi Liu couldn't help but frowned, "Sister, do you walk around more every day?"

Li Xiangli smiled with her lips pursed, her eyes full of happiness. "Your brother-in-law doesn't let me do anything. Lianqiu keeps a close eye on me even when I'm making clothes. I just eat and sleep all day. I feel like I'm turning into a pig."
