Growth is the most silent thing.
Maybe it was a seed yesterday, but it breaks out of the ground today.
Maybe you were settled in a corner yesterday, but today you want to expand your territory.
The root cause is the unwillingness lingering in the heart, the belief in becoming stronger spreading in the blood, the desire for strength, and the hope for money.
The smooth supply of food to Youranju only fueled Zheng Ruqian's transportation ambitions, but eliminated the possibility of his independent development.
Now faced with setbacks, the young man finally came to his senses.
You can only make temporary money by relying on others. Ultimately, you have to be strong enough to be able to produce and sell yourself.
Just like the preserved meat in the workshop, it is irreplaceable in a short period of time. Over time, someone will always work out a suitable ratio. With Fengjing Youranju's arrogance, he will definitely terminate the cooperation without hesitation.
Like Zheng Xin's red dates, Youranju dismisses them, and other restaurants may not care either.
But as long as the finished jujube cake is publicized enough and the gimmick is enough, it may not become popular in Fengjing.
What's more, what Zheng Ruqian wants to sell is never just jujube cakes.
"Auntie can come to me after you think about it." Zheng Ruqian said and said, "I have to find a suitable shop."
The younger brothers and sisters on the side widened their eyes again.
They all understood what the second brother meant, and it turned out that no matter whether their aunt cooperated or not, his store would definitely open.
Jiang Sheng was the most shocked. The little crybaby second brother had become so powerful without even realizing it.
As a younger sister, she may not be smart enough or powerful enough, but there is something she can definitely do.
The little girl stood up, raised her purse high, and said loudly, "Second brother, Jiang Sheng will always support you."
Zheng Ruqian turned around and showed a bright smile.
After he left, Jiang Sheng began to take stock.
The family's original 600 taels were used to open a workshop. The first batch of cured meats was sold for 300 taels. In September and October, we received 300 taels each. We paid the bills for the workers and added the cost to purchase materials, and spent the 100 taels on meals, etc. two.
Jiang Sheng only has 800 taels in his hand now.
His assets, which were considered substantial in Anshui County, were not enough to treat a wealthy family in Fengjing to a meal.
When Xu Mo came back from the Imperial College in the evening, his eyes lit up when he heard his second brother's ambition, "If the second brother has an idea, just do it. If the money is not enough, I, the eldest brother, can also support it."
Wen Zhiyun raised his head in confusion.
Chang Yan's eyes widened.
Only Jiang Sheng was outspoken, "My eldest brother is so smart and can't even help others write a cheat sheet. Where do you get the money?"
Speaking of which, the students in the school are not completely upright. Some of them don't work hard at ordinary times, scratch their heads during exams, and try their best to cheat.
Among them, bringing a cheat sheet was the most popular, which was to write the key points in the book on silk with a mouse beard dipped in ink, and then find ways to bring it to the Gongyuan.
For this kind of cheat sheet, the writing brush has been replaced with a mouse whisker, and the characters are of course extremely small, and the requirements for neatness of handwriting are also extremely high. Otherwise, if you write blindly and arrive at the Gongyuan without being able to read anything, you might as well not bring it with you.
Xu Mo's calligraphy is a boy's skill, and he has always been famous for his clear and clear rules. When he was in Anshui County, some students used their brains and wanted to hire him to write cheat sheets.
However, the price increased from ten taels to fifty taels, but Xu Mo remained unmoved and shook his head in refusal.
In the end, the student got angry and cursed loudly and left angrily.
Although Xu Mo's noble conduct was commendable, his younger brothers and sisters really didn't believe him when he said he was rich.
"Who said you can only make money by writing cheat sheets." The young man in the breeze smiled and raised his sleeves to polish his ink. "I never do anything that violates morality and law."
Jiang Sheng continued to be shocked, could it be copying books?
But they only copied books when it was most difficult at the beginning, and they were still the kind of flimsy simple books. They only paid one penny for copying a book, which was not enough for the brothers and sisters to put their teeth between.
"Could it be that my eldest brother was hurt by someone else, and that person gave him the compensation?" Wen Zhiyun's face was full of horror, and his hands subconsciously touched the small medicine box.
"It's possible that some girl fell in love with the eldest brother and planned to recruit him as a son-in-law, so I gave him some money to spend." Chang Yan said seriously.
As soon as he finished speaking, two balls of waste paper stained with ink came over and hit the two brothers' little heads.
Xu Mo smiled helplessly, "I've been thinking about strange things all day long. It's borrowed money. I'll pay it back when I make money."
In the past, I was immersed in studying and didn't know how to socialize. Only when I came to Fengjing Imperial College did I realize how important it is to make a few friends with status and financial resources.
Needless to say, Zhu Sihuan could lend him a few hundred taels either from Qi Huai or Zhao Yuan, and it was just a matter of raising a hand.
Xu Mo wanted to say something more.
Suddenly, Zheng Ruqian's sniffing sound came from outside, "Brother, we don't need to borrow money."
In other words, whether to borrow money or not is not the most important thing.
But from the eldest brother to the younger sister, everyone is supporting him unconditionally. Everyone believes that he can do it, make money, and gain a foothold in Fengjing.
that's enough.
"Eight hundred taels will be enough." Zheng Laoer walked in step by step, "Auntie has promised me. I will provide the raw materials in the future, and I will make it with my auntie. We only need to rent a shop."
But often, paving is the most expensive.
A small courtyard in Fengjing costs more than 100 taels a year. If you want to convert it into a shop, it will cost at least 2300 taels. In a prosperous area, you can't even get 3500 taels.
If you plan to clean up the shop again, the cost will be even higher.
Fortunately, the family's savings are 800 taels, which is enough for any calculation.
Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to smile, he heard Zheng Ruqian say in a deep voice, "I rented a shop worth 800 taels."
What shop needs eight hundred taels?
Eight hundred and two years, two years, or three years?
The whole family looked over.
Zheng Ruqian nodded knowingly, "One year."
Jiang Sheng almost fainted.
Fortunately, Chang Yan and Wen Zhiyun were behind, and their four little hands worked together to lift the chubby sister.
The only one who could speak was Xu Mo, "Why did you choose such an expensive shop?"
"Because it's big." Zheng Ruqian said in a deep voice, "There are four shops in total, occupying half of the street from south to north. The previous owner used it to sell silk and satin. It was in a relatively prosperous location, so the price was a bit expensive. .”
But that's not the point.
The key point is why Zheng Ruqian rented four shops. Obviously one was enough for him, and two shops were enough for him.
Four rooms is a complete waste.
Before the whole family could continue to ask questions, Zheng Laoer turned his head and looked at the struggling fourth brother. He smiled softly and said, "I plan to give two of these four shops to the fourth brother. He originally ran a medical clinic in Anshui County and accompanied him. We have been doing nothing during the few months we have been in Fengjing, but doctors have to treat illnesses and save people in order to accumulate experience and grow stronger."
"Besides, we brothers open our shop together, and we will take care of each other in the days to come."
What an unexpected answer.
Wen Zhiyun was struggling to support Jiang Sheng, but suddenly he lost his mind and let go of his hand, and the chubby little girl fell to the sky.
"Jiang Sheng..."
"younger sister……"
