In the evening, Guan Wen held Li Xin in his arms and discussed things with her about the shop.

"I asked Brother Wei today, and he plans to take the exam in three years. The Wei family has a weak foundation, and the dowry given to my younger sister is afraid that Aunt Wei and Brother Wei will not touch it." Guan Wen said softly: "Brother Wei usually also Those who want to go to school to continue their studies, even though they have rice from the imperial court, their life is still rough, how much money can they earn by selling calligraphy and painting and writing letters to others?"

Li Xin leaned sideways into Guan Wen's arms, yawned lightly and said, "Then what are your plans? How do you want to help him?"

Guan Wen must have wanted to help his younger sister and brother-in-law by bringing this matter up to her, and Li Xin certainly wouldn't try to stop her.

Guan Wen panted slightly and said, "The fourth brother is a clever man, and it would be overkill to keep asking him to do accounts. Brother Wei is a scholar after all, and arithmetic should not be difficult for him. Instead of letting him go to the office every now and then Instead of setting up a stall to write letters or sell calligraphy and paintings, it’s better to come to the shop and help me settle accounts. The fourth brother can also help me run other businesses.”

Li Xin thought for a while and felt that this method is feasible, so he nodded, stretched out his hand and squeezed the flesh on Guan Wen's waist: "Just talk about things, and use your hands."

Li Xin patted him and said angrily, "I was about to fall asleep..."

Guan Wen raised his eyebrows: "You can sleep too?"

Li Xin ignored him, obviously she yawned several times in a drowsy manner when she was talking about the matter just now, but Guan Wen was still like this.

His whole body was wet and greasy, Li Xin pushed him and told him to twist the veil to tidy up.Guan Wen responded softly, but couldn't get up.

Guan Wen pinched his face: "Hurry up."

"What are you panicking about?" Guan Wen leaned forward and kissed the corner of her mouth again, and said, "I'll go later."

Li Xin couldn't help falling asleep.Guan Wen calmed down his breathing, just got up and put on his clothes and fetched a basin of water, wrung out the handkerchief to tidy up himself and Li Xin, then lay down next to Li Xin again, stretched out his hand and hugged her arms.

He's really in a good mood tonight.The family is all together, and grandpa is so happy too.As the days passed, he got better and better, and he took on a big business again, and the shop started to make a lot of money.

He said before that he wanted to give Xiner a good life, and now he is on this road. Although he still does not earn as much as his wife, in time, he will definitely let her live the life he promised. of her day.

Guan Wen hugged her tightly and fell asleep with a smile.

Li Xin got up late the next day, and Guan Wen had already returned to town by the time she woke up.

Xiao Bi came to wake her up with a blushing face, and said, "Brother Guan said, let me wake you up at this time, lest you be hungry..."

Seeing Xiaobi's uneasy look, Li Xin was also thin-skinned. She blushed slightly and responded, telling Xiaobi to go to work first, and then she got dressed and came down.

Xiao Bi quickly responded and went downstairs.

After breakfast, Li Xin asked someone to report to Li Erlang, telling him to go to the town to visit the shop.

Guan Wen came back a day later and told Li Xin that the shop had been rented out, signed a three-year lease, and paid half a year's rent in advance.He rented it in his own name. Anyway, he still has some contacts at the pier, and he paid the money in advance.

Li Xin nodded, it doesn't matter who rents the shop, the key is that someone has to cover it.Since Guan Wen came forward to rent the shop, he must have greeted everyone around him.

The next day Li Xin went to the town with Guan Wen, and Li Erlang and Jiang Shi also went to Guan Wen's shop in the town, and after Guan Wen finished his work on returning some furs to the warehouse, he took them to the pier.

There has always been a bustling scene at the pier, people from all walks of life gather together, needless to say the market is prosperous.

Li Xin and Li Erlang looked at the shop. Naturally, the bustle here was not as lively as that at the pier, but there were still people coming and going, so there was no need to worry about lack of customers.Moreover, the left side of the shop is a cooked food shop, and the right side is a sesame oil shop, the smell is wafting, and the products are not the same, and there is not much competition, one business must drive the other.

The pavement is indeed small, even though the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There is a pavement in front, a small yard in the back, two houses facing each other, and a well in the courtyard.

Jiang liked it very much, and thanked Li Xin and Guan Wen repeatedly.Li Erlang scratched his head and said, "This place is pretty good, Brother Wen, my sister said you rented it out for me, how much is the rent?"

Guan Wen took out the lease contract with a smile, showed it to Li Erlang, and said, "The rent has been paid in advance for half a year, and it is rented in my name. You can just do your business, and it will be fine within three years. The rent is waiting for you." If you make money, give it back to me, and you must invest money in the early stage of business, and you should keep it for yourself first."

Li Erlang looked at Li Xin, seeing Li Xin nodding, he was not polite, thanked Guan Wen, and started discussing with Jiang's how to set up a stall and how to cook food.

We had to find someone to build the stove, and we had to find someone to make the cauldron. Tie Guaizi was a good crafter, and Li Xin recommended him to Li Erlang.

As for the vendor who set up the stall, Li Xin told Jiang Shi in detail, Jiang Shi nodded frequently, looking at Li Xin with reverence in his eyes.

Li Xin was not very embarrassed, and said to Jiang: "Since it is selling food, you must pay attention to hygiene. If the taste is bad and stale, you must not eat it for others. In the past few days, you should go to the neighborhood to find out more. , See where there is a place that sells meat and vegetables, and it is best to tell people to supply them on time and in quantity. You can also negotiate the price yourself."

Jiang nodded and said, "Understood, sister."

Li Erlang and Jiang's stayed here and prepared to open a shop.Jiu'er stayed in Li's Village. After all, they are also in chaos here, and they don't have time to take care of the little one.

Li Xin stayed in the town for a day and then went back. Before leaving, he went to the seed shop and asked what kinds of flowers there were.

In the process of looking at the seeds, Li Xin found a lot of spices.

The owner of the seed shop said it came from the Western Regions, but it is not easy to sell here, and everyone also painted it fresh, not sure how to use it.

The price was a bit high, but Li Xin bought it anyway, and asked the boss to keep some for her if there was any left.

Add these things into Malatang, the taste will definitely be more fragrant.

Li Xin has not handed over the recipe of Mala Tang to the Jiang family, and we will not talk about this level until after the preliminary work of Li Erlang's shop is completed.

After returning to the lotus village, Li Xin watched as Guan Wu and Feng Defa were busy letting Guan Wu and Feng Defa catch fish, and at the same time began to fish a lot of lotus roots.

Before leaving, Guan Wen specifically ordered that a batch of lotus root should be delivered to Xue Ji's restaurant "Xiao Si", after all, Xue Qian provided the lotus root seed at the beginning.

After this busy event, Li Xin counted the lotus root and fish together, and sold a total of 210 six taels of silver.Among them, lotus root naturally accounted for the majority. Xue Qian's Xiaosi and other restaurants combined bought more than 170 taels, plus 40 taels of fish, which was considered a bumper harvest for her.

Li Xin left some lotus roots unsold, and still raised them in the lotus pond. He picked up some and sent them to his natal family, and some to Guan Wen, who asked him to return Guan Quan to the Guan family, Axiu, and Amei in the town. The husband and wife took them, and left a part of them to take them to Heji Noodle Restaurant in Pingsha County.There are still a lot left, take some to eat at home, and take some to Li Erlang.

If there is no lotus root in the dishes in Malatang, it will not taste good.

Li Xin gave one tael of silver to each of the long-term workers, saying that it was to thank them for their hard work during this period.Feng Defa and Guan Wu each received ten taels of silver, of course secretly.

The six long-term workers were all overjoyed, and one of the long-term workers named Er Gouzi said to Li Xin: "Do you want to hire a long-term worker? There is also a younger brother in my family. He is not very bright, but he is very strong." , also obedient..."

Li Xin's salary was good, and she paid a lot of money as a long-term worker in her family, and there were rewards from time to time.Er Gouzi's younger brother is ignorant and eats for nothing at home. If he can also work as a long-term worker, then he will have a guarantee of food and clothing in the future.

Er Gouzi anxiously waited for Li Xin's reply.

Because of his words, Li Xin's desire to hire more long-term workers came alive again.
