Gold notes were used infrequently, mostly in denominations of fifty taels, so they were easy to calculate.

Sister-in-law Shen was so shocked that her whole body trembled.

She had never seen a gold note before, but she never expected that when she did, she would see 750 taels of silver!

And they're all yours!

Most importantly, he didn't do anything, didn't spend a single penny, and yet... he earned seven thousand five hundred taels of silver?!

She almost knelt down before this little god of wealth in front of her.

Shen Zhangfu was still confused. "What? What? We're entitled to a share of this money?"

Sister-in-law Shen immediately pinched the flesh on his arm. How could she possibly return money that had been handed to her so readily?!

"Listen to Xiao Cai...listen to Miss Jiang!"

She almost blurted it out, then covered her mouth and laughed, before immediately picking up the gold notes to count them. "Let me count them."

But after counting for a long time, she still didn't know how many she had counted.

Shen Zhangyu finally recovered and took the gold notes, slowly counting them one by one. He counted them three times before nodding and saying, "Yes, that's right."

Xiao Youran had already divided the silver notes, pushing a pile over first. "I've calculated it out. We'll set aside two thousand taels, leaving two thousand three hundred taels. We'll take seventy percent, which is one thousand six hundred and ten taels. We'll take one thousand six hundred taels first. Your thirty percent should be six hundred and ninety taels, but here's seven hundred taels. You can give us ten taels back later."

She pushed another pile over, saying, "This is two thousand taels. Keep it to renovate the restaurant, recruit staff, and prepare ingredients for the opening."

Sister-in-law Shen's hands trembled as she tried to take it, but Shen Zhangfu pushed her away, saying, "Everything in the shop is up to A-Yu."

Xiao Youran nodded, "I'll do whatever you say about the restaurant."

Shen Zhangyu then excitedly rubbed his hands and asked, "Young, young master, no, big master, will the restaurant's affairs really be handled entirely by us?"

Xiao Youran tugged at Jiang Youchen's sleeve, "Brother, what do you think?"

At appropriate times, it's also good to remind your brother of his presence.

Otherwise, how could she get her brother to willingly take the blame for her at a crucial moment?

Jiang Youchen straightened her small frame, clearly the one in charge, "Yes, I'll do whatever you say. We'll be leaving the capital in a few days, so we can check the accounts when we get back."

Xiao Youran then looked at Sister-in-law Shen, "Sister-in-law Shen, where are the wontons?"

Sister-in-law Shen immediately looked guilty, but quickly made amends, "Little Treasure, oh no, Miss Little Ranbao, the kitchen doesn't have enough ingredients. I'll go home right away and make you a bowl of the most delicious wontons. You can just go back to the inn and wait for me. I'll make them and bring them over as soon as I can!"

Xiao Youran's little hands rested on the two stacks of gold and silver notes, her heart pounding with excitement, and her initial hunger lessened considerably. So she nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's go back to the inn first and wait for Sister-in-law Shen to bring over some delicious wontons."

After saying that, she pushed the gold and silver notes back to her brother, saying, "Brother, you must keep them safe."

With trembling hands, Jiang Youchen put both stacks of gold and silver notes into his pocket.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at his younger sister was filled with complex emotions.

So in just two days, thanks to his sister's amazing skills, the two thousand taels of silver in his hands turned into nearly twenty thousand taels of silver.

He had just calculated that he had about 1,750 taels of gold notes in his hand, which was equivalent to 17,500 taels of silver. Adding the more than 1,000 taels of silver notes, he had nearly 20,000 taels in his hands.

They also got a restaurant's land title and 70% of the restaurant's future operating profits for free!

It's no exaggeration to say that it's incredibly profitable!

Who would believe that if I told them?

No wonder the eldest sister-in-law of the Shen family looked at her younger sister as if she were seeing a god of wealth.

So when he mechanically led his sister back to the Fuyue Inn and stood at the door of his mother's room, he was still in a daze, as if in a dream.

My little sister called out "Mother" in a clear voice towards the house, then pushed open the door and rushed in with her short legs.

Mrs. Su was sitting at the table drinking a light bowl of porridge when she saw her son and daughter return. She smiled gently, turned slightly, and opened one arm to pull her daughter into her embrace. "Little Ranran, why did you rush to call your brother back to get the money? What did you buy?"

Little Youran snuggled closer to her mother before saying, "I bought a big restaurant."

Ms. Su thought she had misheard. "What?"

Zhao's mother also said sullenly, "Miss is really joking. What kind of grand restaurant can you buy with five hundred taels?"

Clearly, she hadn't yet recovered from the frustration of Jiang Youchen returning to pawn her jewelry.

Five hundred taels of silver wouldn't even buy a large restaurant in Dingzhou, let alone in the capital.

Su Yue frantically winked at Xiao Youran from the side, signaling her to stop talking so as not to upset Zhao's mother again.

But Xiao Youran ignored her and pointed in her brother's direction, saying, "It's true! We made a lot of money. You can ask your brother if you don't believe me."

Jiang Youchen then stepped unsteadily across the threshold, turned around and slammed the door shut.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Suyue, "Suyue, go out and stand guard outside the door. Make sure no one gets close."

Su Yue didn't say a word. After opening the door and going out, she closed it again and obediently stood guard at the door.

Jiang Youchen then tiptoed to her mother's side, and with trembling hands, carefully took out the stack of gold and silver notes from her bosom and placed them on the table.

Zhao's mother's eyes widened immediately.

Su asked incredulously, "There are even gold notes?"

She was used to seeing large sums of money, and she recognized the gold notes immediately because of their yellow paper, and the quantity looked quite substantial.

Jiang Youchen took a deep breath and forced a calm expression before saying, "Mother, we bought the restaurant that my sister had her eye on for a total of 2,500 taels of silver. Inside the restaurant was a bronze Buddha statue, with a bronze exterior but a fine jade Buddha statue inside. We pawned the statue for 3,000 taels of gold. Afterwards, we split the profits with the Shen brothers and received a total of 1,750 taels of gold notes and 1,600 taels of silver notes, which are all here."

He briefly recounted the events.

The empty medicine bowl in Zhao's hand clattered to the ground, and she stared in disbelief at the stack of papers on the table.

Jiang Youchen then took out a handkerchief from his bosom, inside which were the two large gold hairpins that Su Shi had asked Zhao Mama to take him to pawn. "Mother's jewelry has been redeemed as well."

Holding the jewelry, Zhao's mother was moved to tears. "Young master, you mean...you mean in just these two days, you turned your two thousand taels of silver into this, nearly twenty thousand taels?"

Jiang Youchen nodded, "That's right. You should keep these gold and silver notes safe, Mother Zhao."

The way the penis was being penetrated and pulled against him was terrifying.

Zhao Mama quickly waved her hand, "No, no, young master, it's best to keep these gold and silver notes with you. This old servant dares not touch them."

If it were the young master, could two thousand taels become twenty thousand? And twenty thousand become two hundred thousand taels?
