Chapter 91 Parting
"Okay, then the matter is settled. When the store opens, Sanlang, you can write a deed and you both sign it." Mrs. Zhang said.

Ye Dalang was a little puzzled, "Mom, this is not necessary. Why should the family be so divided."

Mrs. Zhang glared at Ye Dalang, "I still listen to you."

Ye Dalang said honestly: "I listen to you."

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Erlang went to the county town to find a shop. Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing packed up and returned to the county town. Because Ye Xiaomei was about to get married, Zhang left her at home and did not let her follow her. Go to the county seat.

On the second day after returning to the county town, Zhou Ran was lucky enough to buy beef. At noon, she made sauced beef and went to visit Mr. Fei.

As a result, Zhou Ran entered the yard and saw Mr. Fei and Chuan Bai packing medicinal materials.

"Old sir, what are you doing?"

Mr. Fei raised his head and glanced at Zhou Ran. He did not rush to take the food from her hand as usual, but said: "You came just in time. I have prepared some commonly used ointments and pills for you. You can wait a moment." Take it back, you might use it later."

After hearing what Mr. Fei said, Zhou Ran looked at the collected medicinal materials and said with some surprise: "Old sir, do you want to go back to the previous village?"

Mr. Fei shook his head, "If you don't go back, go somewhere else." However, Mr. Fei did not say where exactly.

Zhou Ran asked with some reluctance: "When are you leaving? I'll see you off."

"Oh, what are you giving me as a gift? It only adds to the sadness. There is no need to give it away." Mr. Fei waved his hand freely, and then fixed his eyes on the food box in Zhou Ran's hand, "What delicious food did you cook today?" It smells so good.”

Zhou Ran smiled, put the food box on the table nearby, opened it and said, "I was lucky today. I bought some beef. I specially made braised beef for the old gentleman to drink with."

"I'm quite lucky. I didn't expect to be able to eat braised beef before I leave."

The Dashun Dynasty did not allow private slaughter of farm cattle. Zhou Ran had made many delicious dishes in the past year, but this was the first time she made braised beef.

"If the old gentleman likes to wait until we meet later, I will do it for him," Zhou Ran said.

The old gentleman smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Zhou Ran stayed in Mr. Fei's yard for a while. After Mr. Fei and Chuan Bai finished eating, she left with the food box, just like every time before.

Chuan Bai sent her out the door, watched Zhou Ran walk away, then blinked and returned to the yard with red eyes, continuing to pack things.

In the evening, Ye Ximing returned home.

Today he had learned from Fei Nanxing that their master and apprentice were leaving Nanxing County. Seeing that Zhou Ran had prepared a lot of food for Mr. Fei, he took Da Niu and Zhou Ran to deliver it to Mr. Fei and the others. .

Finally, everyone had a dinner together in Mr. Fei's yard. Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran left Mr. Fei's yard amidst the sound of Mr. Fei chasing them away.

The next day, Zhou Ran did not see them off as Mr. Fei said. When she came out of Liuguang Pavilion at noon and went to the yard where Mr. Fei and his family lived, the outside of the yard was locked. Mr. Fei and the others did not know when they had left.

Breaking up is always a nerve-wracking thing. In the next two days, Zhou Ran's mood was not very high.

Ye Ximing saw it, but he was not in a hurry. He waited until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month to take leave from Mr. Zou and took Zhou Ran back to Xiyao Village.

On the carriage back, Zhou Ran asked Ye Ximing, "Is there anything you need to do when you go home today?"

Ye Ximing said: "Second brother has chosen the shop where he will open a shop. Let's go back and listen."

Zhou Ran was puzzled, "It's enough for the second brother to come home and say no." Why did Ye Ximing need to take time off for a trip?
Ye Ximing explained casually: "The second brother has his eye on two shops. He is still undecided about which one to choose. He wants the family to get together to discuss."

Zhou Ran still felt a little strange. In the Ye family, Ye Ximing's study was the most important thing. Why would Ye Erlang disturb Ye Ximing's study for this matter?
But it was strange. Since Ye Ximing said this, she didn't ask any more questions.

When they returned home, Ye Erlang actually talked about the situation of the two shops he was interested in. One shop was relatively small, with only one floor. There were about seven or eight tables in the hall, and a small courtyard behind it. The rent was Eight taels of silver a month, paid once a year.

The other one is larger in area, with a total of two floors. It was originally a tea house, but the business was not very good. The boss could not make any money and would not renew the lease after the expiration. The location of this restaurant is very good. It is on the South Street of the county seat and is surrounded by many places. It's prosperous, but the rent is relatively high. It costs twenty taels of silver a month, and the rent is paid once a year.

"Twenty taels a month, doesn't that mean I have to pay 240 taels in one go?" Li said in surprise.

Ye Erlang nodded and said: "Not only that, but also a deposit, a total of two hundred and sixty taels. In addition to these, we will also renovate, recruit people, and buy some things necessary to open a store. All of them cost money. I guess this store It costs at least four hundred taels of silver to open it."

After Ye Ximing heard this, he asked Ye Erlang: "Second brother, do you like this shop more?"

Otherwise, Ye Erlang would not have specifically mentioned this shop when the money gap was so big.

Ye Erlang nodded and said truthfully: "I think although the rent of this store is a bit high, it is in a good location and is surrounded by rich people. If the store opens here, it should be able to make money."

Mrs. Zhang felt a little hesitant when she heard that so much money was needed, "But didn't you just say that the business of opening a teahouse before was not good?"

Ye Erlang said: "I have investigated and found that the poor business of the tea house has nothing to do with the location. It is the tea house that has shoddy quality and ruined its reputation, which is why the business is not good."

Ye Ximing glanced at Zhou Ran and saw Zhou Ran nodding towards him, so he said: "Since the second brother is more optimistic about the location of that shop, why not choose that one."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang frowned and looked at Ye Ximing, "If we decide on that house, you and A'ran will have to come up with more than three hundred taels of silver. Can you afford it?"

Ye Ximing didn't want to tell his family about his cooperation with Liu Wenzhuo. He only said: "After I get better, A'ran won't have to buy medicine for me anymore. He has saved some money in his hand, which is enough."

When Mrs. Zhang heard Ye Ximing's words, she felt a little ashamed for him. She glared at Ye Ximing and said with disgust, "You have the nerve to say that you spend Aran's money so generously all day long."

Zhou Ran smiled and spoke for Ye Ximing, "Mom, my husband and I have the same opinion. Since the second brother is optimistic about that shop, it means that the shop must be good. Since we have the spare money, why not just do it in one step and rent it directly?" The family is better, so as not to open a shop later, and the business is too good, and the shop needs to be changed."
