Uncle He looked at Zhou Yunshu with deep meaning in his eyes.
The longer I spend time with her, the more I admire her sensitivity.
"Then what's next?"
Zhou Yunshu picked up the brush in her hand and said while writing: "I originally wanted to go to Dongchuan to buy fields and houses after the new year, but I'm afraid something will happen."
She wrote down on paper her various requirements for her future residence, as well as the properties she wanted to buy in Dongchuan, and said to Uncle He: "I heard that at the end of the year in Haizhou, the local snakes will collect what they want to settle down." Those who can't pay the fees and protection fees will inevitably sell their houses and land. You and the three of you will go there before the end of the year and buy the place where we will stay in the future."
Uncle He took the note, looked at the conditions listed in sequence with a flash of surprise in his eyes, nodded and said: "Okay."
"We'll leave tomorrow. Go early and come back early."
Uncle He stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Huzi and the others now."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, and Uncle He left the study.
After Zhou Yunshu wrote down everything she planned to do next on paper in the study, she put it on the candle next to it and burned it.
The purpose of writing some things down is to remember them more familiarly, rather than leaving them to be forgotten.
When Zhou Yunshu came out of the study, she saw Zhan Chuan standing at the door, looking like he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
"Huzi and the others are going to Dongchuan, what about me?"
In fact, as long as Zhanchuan's bottom line is not touched, Zhanchuan has always been a person who is very aware of current affairs.
For example, now that he knows that he is Zhou Yunshu's, he immediately recognizes his position and works hard to become a useful person to Zhou Yunshu.
There are not many people who are so sober.
"You stay in the river, I have other things for you to do."
Zhanchuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he had something to do.
What he fears most is that he is useless to Zhou Yunshu, and useless people often have no good ending.
"good."
"Go and rest. You can recharge your batteries at home these days. I will tell you when I need you."
"good."
…
The next day’s breakfast was fresh meat rice noodles and pickled fish ball rice noodles made by Liao’s mother.
Zhou Yunshu had a big appetite and ate a bowl of each type of rice noodles, adding two fried eggs.
When she saw Mama Liao coming out of the kitchen with a smile and rubbing her arms, Zhou Yunshu said, "Mama Liao, from now on you and Miss Liao will have breakfast together, and you will only be responsible for the front yard for lunch and dinner."
Mother Liao nodded. Even though it was Li Jialan who arranged for them yesterday, Zhou Yunshu was the one who was really in charge.
In fact, she didn't have to cook breakfast today, but her family had just arrived at the house, and she wanted to make some special dishes or famous hometown snacks for the hosts to give them a taste of her skills.
Sure enough, the two big pots of rice noodles in the morning instantly captured the hearts of the masters in the house.
"I understand, ma'am."
The breakfast in the backyard is finished, and there is also one in the front yard.
There are many strong men in the front yard, and making their breakfast is really a laborious job.
So in addition to the four large pots of rice noodles made by Liao's mother, Liao Quan took the money from the kitchen that Chunque gave yesterday and bought fifty scallion oil roasted buns and a hundred steamed buns. The rice noodles were enough for the man in the front yard. Let's have a full meal.
But when Mama Liao watched the men in the front yard sweep away the breakfast they had prepared, she was still frightened by their appetites.
To be able to raise such a group of strong men, it seems that my master's net worth is pretty good.
After breakfast, Zhou Yunshu asked Chunque to bring three 500-tael silver notes and ten 10-tael silver ingots to Uncle He. Wife-in-law Liao packed the baggage for the four of them, and then everyone watched Uncle He and the four of them go. Ride away.
Although there are many people at home, there are not many people who are at home all the time during the day.
Yan Shilei and the others have been wandering around various docks in the river recently.
Shopkeeper Liang bought two shops. One is relatively close to the pier. Under Zhou Yunshu's suggestion, he plans to build a catering shop, which is similar to modern fast food. There is also a shop with a backyard not far from the main street, which he plans to use for cooking. Pastry shop.
Shopkeeper Liang’s wife, Mrs. Li, knows a lot of pastries, and she also learned five or six recipes when she was with Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen. Therefore, the backyard of this shop belongs to the Liang family, and the shop in front belongs to the Liang family. The female relatives of the Liang family are responsible for making cakes.
Now the Liang family's main source of money-making suddenly turned upside down. The Liang family's female relatives never let go of their smiles. Now they are the main ones making money to support the family!
Although this shop belongs to Li Jialan, they don't get dead wages for making and selling pastries, they get commissions.
"Sir, how about opening another inn?" Shopkeeper Liang approached Zhou Yunshu and said, "I think it would be good to open an inn in the middle of the river, and I'm optimistic about the location."
As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on his face, "If I don't find something to do, I will have to bring foot-washing water to our mother-in-law at night."
Who makes money-making people tough?
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said: "Uncle Liang, it's nothing for this old couple to carry water for washing their feet."
"No, I have to make money!" Only those who make money have a say.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Liang Laosan and Liang Laosi behind Shopkeeper Liang, who were also eager to make money, and said, "Have you found a suitable place?"
Shopkeeper Liang nodded with a smile. If he hadn't found the right place, he wouldn't have dared to come to Zhou Yunshu. "We've found the place, but the price is a bit expensive."
Shopkeeper Liang saw Zhou Yunshu looking at him and continued: "Do you still remember the teahouse we just got off the pier?"
Zhou Yunshu nodded.
"There is an inn owner diagonally opposite it who wants to move to Nanzhou, so he is planning to sell the inn. I thought this is not an opportunity, so I went to the owner and told him to negotiate the price this afternoon."
"He gave me a good idea. Because the location is better and it has a spacious backyard, the asking price is 820 taels. I thought I could get it to 800 taels if I bargained for it."
Zhou Yunshu raised her eyebrows when she heard the price. The price was really not cheap.
"This inn is also large in area and is in good repair. If we take it over, it will only need a little cleaning before it can be opened again. Many people have fallen in love with this inn. If they miss it, they may want to see it again but they don't know when. "
"Then let's talk."
If nothing else, there is indeed no shortage of business in this location, and it is also easy to inquire about news coming and going from north to south. If it is more expensive, it is more expensive, and she is not short of money.
Zhou Yunshu asked Chunque to give the money to Shopkeeper Liang, and then watched them leave.
When they left Jiangzhong in the future, Zhou Yunshu planned to take Shopkeeper Liang and Liang Laosan away, leaving only Liang Laosi and the female family members of the Liang family in Jiangzhong.
She will not put the Liang family together. Loyalty is right now, but the heart will be raised. She doesn't want to test people's hearts.
"Madam." Liao Quan called while standing outside the study.
"What's wrong?" Chunque asked outside the study when she saw Zhou Yunshu lowering his head to write.
"Two carriages came outside the house. The woman in the carriage said her surname was Wang, and said that I would know who they are as long as I inform Madam."
