"Yes." Shen Shuangshuang put away the loneliness in her heart and helped Shen to walk back.
Back in the hospital, Ms. Shen asked Li Ling to do her homework, and then asked Shen Shuangshuang to help her back to her room.
Shen Shuangshuang complied.
In Shen's room.
Shen Shuangshuang helped her mother-in-law onto the kang, took off her shoes herself, and sat next to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, I want to talk to you about our new store." Shen Shuangshuang quickly cheered up and said to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"Ling'er's shop?" asked.
"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
"I've been to see that shop. The location is very good."
"It used to be a noodle shop, but now it's empty. I want to open a shop there and sell maocai."
Shen made a gesture of deep thought.
"You can try it. When you season it, don't make it too spicy."
She had eaten maocai cooked by her daughter-in-law. The taste was slightly lighter than hot pot, and it was full of fragrance and went very well with rice.
"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
People here are not used to spicy food, so she would definitely have to use less chili pepper at first.
"In terms of manpower——" asked Shen.
"Now everyone in the family has their own things to do, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone to help."
"I want Wu Xia to go there. Then I'll invite someone to come with her."
"The base soup is boiled at our home and sent to the store for them to use. In this way, the recipe will not be leaked."
"As for the work of making fermented bean curd at home, Wen Fang and Han Chunlan have already started it. Plus I can help when I have free time, so we can almost keep busy."
"However, in the long run, I would like to recruit someone to come to our house full-time to make fermented bean curd."
"Besides - I also want to rent an extra yard." Speaking of this, Shen Shuangshuang looked at Mrs. Shen.
Shen was a little surprised.
Shen Shuangshuang continued: "Although our yard is not small, when there are many people, it becomes quite messy when busy."
"In a few days, I will recruit more people into the workshop."
"The output of soy products will be higher by then. It is possible that our two utility rooms are not enough."
"I was thinking about renting an extra yard. Then all the goods in the workshop will be transported there, and everyone will work there."
"Our house is only for people to live in."
"Let's convert those two utility rooms into guest rooms."
"It also saves my cousin and the others from being unable to live at home when they come back."
"And Ling'er, it's time to live in your own room alone."
This time when Li Ke and others came back, the room was not enough.
In the end, Murong Zhan stayed in the only guest room. Uncle Wu and his wife slept separately. Aunt Zheng went to share a room with Wu Xia, and Wei San shared a room with Zhang Yi and Uncle Wu.
Shen thought for a moment and nodded.
"Let's rent the yard in Deep Water Lane. Choose slowly. If the price is right, you can buy it."
After saying that, Mrs. Shen took out a banknote from his pocket.
"Your cousin gave this to you, you take it and use it first."
Shen Shuangshuang was shocked when she saw that the face value of the bank note was five hundred taels.
Murong Zhan is truly a rich man!
"Five hundred taels is too much! I'll ask the banker to break the banknote and lend you three hundred taels."
"I will pay you back when I have saved enough money." Shen Shuangshuang accepted the banknote.
It was indeed better to rent the yard than to buy it. She rented the yard to use it as a workshop and warehouse, and she didn't want to move when the lease expired.
Originally, the courtyard in Deep Water Alley was not expensive, so I might as well just buy one.
"There is no need to pay it back. If you give me two ginseng sticks, it will be worth the five hundred taels."
"Ginseng is the main medicinal ingredient used in life-sustaining pills. This medicine is so rare that even Mr. Yin may not have hundreds of years of ginseng on hand."
"When the time comes, tell the Yin family that these two ginseng roots are treasured by our family. Discount them for five hundred taels, and he will agree."
Shen Shuangshuang's heart moved.
"Okay!" He responded quickly.
"Then I will make arrangements to find a new yard. I will also prepare for the opening of our new store!" Shen Shuangshuang said excitedly.
"Yeah! You go ahead!" Shen responded with a smile.
Shen Shuangshuang went out with a smile.
The biggest thing in the world is making money. Now, she would rather be busy, just to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible.
After leaving Shen's room, Shen Shuangshuang went to find Wu Xia.
Informed him of his plan.
Wu Xia was surprised and happy. She didn't expect Shen Shuangshuang to be willing to let her manage a shop.
"The tables, chairs and benches in the shop can be used as needed. The stove is also ready."
"I was thinking that I just need to make a row of shelves to store vegetables. Then add some kitchen utensils, bowls and chopsticks." Shen Shuangshuang said to Wu Xia.
"In this way, I will order these things later, and you come with me."
"When the items come out, you go to the store to receive them and arrange them."
"I'll also leave the recruitment matters in the shop to you."
"The store is tentatively scheduled to open on the tenth day of the lunar month. During this period, you can focus on the store. If you are unsure, you can ask me."
Wu Xia looked happy.
"Yes!" He agreed quickly.
Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
He took Wu Xia and left.
In the afternoon, some of the people who came to the Shen family to do odd jobs heard that the Shen family wanted to buy a yard.
Come over and tell Shen Shuangshuang that the yard next to her house is for sale.
Shen Shuangshuang immediately asked the man to lead the way to see the yard.
I found that although the courtyard was a little dilapidated, the site was large and there were many rooms.
After some bargaining with the landlord, Shen Shuangshuang finally bought the yard for less than two hundred taels.
Now that the yard is available, Shen Shuangshuang is not in a hurry to move the warehouse.
Instead, Master Liu and others were asked to repair and transform the yard.
The construction period lasted three days and was completed on the sixth day of the lunar month.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, she would arrange shipments to the Yin family merchant ship and Cheng Ji.
The Yin family merchant ship has ordered a lot of goods. Once this batch of goods is sent out, more than half of the inventory in the warehouse can be emptied.
This way, it will be much easier to move the warehouse later.
After getting busy, time flies quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
On this day, Shen Shuangshuang sent the goods to Zuixianlou and Cheng Ji early.
Then he returned home and waited for Uncle Wu.
As a result, Uncle Wu didn't arrive, and Xiao Liu arrived first.
A large number of precious medicinal materials were also sent.
When Shen Shuangshuang came back, Mrs. Shen was counting the medicinal materials on the list and couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing her daughter-in-law come back, Mrs. Shen said with a smile.
"Shuangshuang, you are finally back!"
"These are the excellent medicinal materials Mr. Yin sent."
"These medicinal materials are enough to keep me busy for a month!"
Mrs. Shen said a few words before looking away from the medicinal materials and looking at Xiao Liu.
"Brother Xiaoliu has been here for a while, why are you back just now?"
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at the medicinal materials on the ground, and his eyes slid towards Xiao Liu.
Hand over to Xiaoliu.
"I went to Zuixian Tower to deliver goods. I wasted some time there. I hope Brother Xiao Liu will take care of himself!"
"Ms. Shen, you're welcome. I haven't been here long." Xiao Liu said with a smile.
"These are sent to you by my employer. If you count them correctly, I will give them a try." As he said that, he looked at Shen again.
"It's correct, it's correct." Shen said quickly.
Xiao Liu smiled again.
"The boss has sent word that he agrees to purchase the patent medicine made by your Shen family." (End of Chapter)
