Wang Ximeng wanted to open a relatively novel teahouse.
In today's teahouses, some people will tell stories, and some will invite people to play the piano and sing songs. In short, each has its own characteristics.
She thought about writing out the words in her mind, and then asking people to tell them. When there are new stories, her teahouse will definitely attract a lot of customers, and then she can also retell some of the stories she heard in her previous life. I also created some nice ancient songs, which are sure to be a big hit!
When Wang Ximeng thought about it, he felt more and more that this business could be done.
However, with her plan like this, it seemed that she really couldn't do it alone and had to find someone to do it together.
In this case, Wang Qin'er is a good choice.
Wang Xi has a great dream. As long as she writes down all the wonderful ideas in her mind, she will naturally make a lot of money. Sure enough, after getting this bracelet, her luck has improved a lot.
The teahouse began to prepare. Wang Qiner did not have such a shop. If he wanted to build a teahouse like Wang Ximeng said, the shop must be large, at least two floors, and finally have a backyard.
For such a large shop, even in the outer city, the annual rent cannot be less than one hundred taels of silver.
After looking at several places, they finally found only one that suited their liking, and the rent cost one hundred and eighty taels of silver a year.
The price is not low, and the rent must be paid first, and the next year's rent will be paid ten months later. If the rent is not paid overdue, the shop will be sublet to others.
Wang Ximeng looked around with a bulging belly, but she was still not satisfied. The location was good, and the streets outside were quite lively, but it was empty inside, with nothing there, so she just asked for a shop worth 180 taels. , it’s too dark-hearted.
But there was nothing the Yahang could do. The owner wanted so much, and according to the rules, the Yahang could make eighteen taels of profit from the one hundred and eighty taels of silver, which was more or less.
Wang Qiner walked around and thought it was okay. Although the rent was not cheap, who told this to be a shop at a crossroads? This kind of place is the most popular.
Wang Qin'er was still a little envious. Such a shop might only be worth two to three hundred taels in Gaoyang County, but in the capital, the annual rent alone would be one hundred and eighty taels.
Tsk tsk, I can’t help but be convinced.
This shop is actually owned by Cheng Jingzhou.
When Mrs. Cheng and Father Cheng were discussing buying property, this was one of the shops. In the past few years, they had been renting it out and never doing business themselves.
It just so happened that the merchant who rented this place last time had a funeral at home, and their family of five or six would go back to pay their respects, so they had to return the shop.
This place used to operate a restaurant, which seems to be similar in nature to a teahouse. However, a restaurant is more popular, and it requires skills. If you don't have skills and just hire a cook to do it, the cost will go up.
This shop had only been vacated for less than ten days when Wang Ximeng fell in love with it.
In the end, we reached an agreement, signed the contract, and paid one year's rent.
During the whole process, no one from Cheng Jingzhou's side showed up. After all, such a trivial matter was not worthy of his family's presence.
Yaxing got the money and sent it to Cheng Mansion respectfully.
Xie Rongzhao was still in confinement, and Mrs. Cheng was taking care of all the trivial matters in the house. However, when it came to Cheng Jingzhou's property, Mrs. Cheng still came to ask Xie Rongzhao's opinion in person.
"Since it's been rented out, it means that Yachang is still very concerned about doing things. Mother, please collect the things first."
Mrs. Cheng accepted the contract and the money, and then gave Ya Xing twenty taels of silver as Xie Rongzhao said, which made the Ya man narrow his eyes with joy.
Mrs. Cheng didn't waste any time, turned around and sent these things to Xie Rongzhao.
Xie Rongzhao suddenly felt dumbfounded.
"Mother, it won't hurt you to hold this money."
"How can this be done? This is Jingzhou's, that is, yours. From now on, it will still belong to our little group. You keep it."
Xie Rongzhao also knew that his mother-in-law did not want him to worry too much, so he had to accept the money.
Mrs. Cheng also knew that Xie Rongzhao didn't care about the money at all. She didn't know anything else. The income of Four Seasons Tea under the name of Xie Rongzhao alone this month would be four figures. Otherwise, this is a little lucky star. !
The reason why Four Seasons Tea Talk's revenue is large is because it has opened more than one shop across the country, and with Song Yi operating from it, the money is naturally pouring into the wallet.
In recent years, in addition to regularly giving porridge, Xie Rongzhao also delivers rice, noodles and seasonal clothes to places like Shantang.
At first glance, it sounds like she has a lot of money, but if it really comes to national affairs, it's not enough.
Moreover, in order to make a good impression on the emperor, Xie Rongzhao would spend his own money every winter to make winter clothes for the soldiers at the border. Sometimes there would be seven or eight hundred sets, and sometimes there would be more than a thousand sets.
There are hundreds of thousands of people at the Dazhi Border Gate. To be honest, these winter clothes made by Xie Rongzhao are not even noticed by those powerful people.
Emperor Jingwen didn't care at first. It was just some female relatives who were kind-hearted and willing to do something. He had seen this kind of thing many times, and it was no different from giving porridge outside the city.
But the problem is that Xie Rongzhao is too persistent.
She has been sending winter clothes to the border for as long as her embroidery shop has been established.
It's been several years, but she still hasn't given up. If it's really just for fame and reputation, then the cost will be a bit high.
Moreover, although Xie Rongzhao made winter clothes, they were not delivered by her own people, but were entrusted to the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the court would take them with them when they sent supplies to the border. If she really wanted to gain fame for the men in her family, Why bother doing such a thankless task?
All in all, even Emperor Jingwen felt that Xie Rongzhao was a sincere person. When she made money, she didn't hide it, she spent it liberally, and she also wanted to share the worries of the court.
How can I put it? I feel that although this person's contribution is not big, he is very stubborn. Over time, he will naturally add up to something.
When there was an earthquake in Taiyuan Prefecture this year, Xie Rongzhao arranged for people to send a lot of things there, including rice, noodles and clothes. This shows that he is not the kind of person who cares about money.
Emperor Jingwen even asked Xie Xiuwen specifically about this, wanting to know why his daughter was so keen on doing good deeds.
The answer given by Xie Xiuwen is that because they have experienced desperate difficulties, they want to help people in trouble when they are able.
In this regard, Emperor Jingwen was silent for a long time, as if he could understand, but also as if he did not fully understand.
But Xie Xiuwen has reached his current position, and he is still willing to admit the embarrassing story that he had to go hungry because he could not afford a piece of paper, which shows that he is a sincere person.
