"Of course, if my sister-in-law wants to open a restaurant, I can contribute my recipes as an investment."

In the kitchen, Chi Qiao, Huang Dani, and others were present. Upon hearing her words, Huang Dani said:

"Little Fish, I'm not going to set up a stall or anything."

If your second brother takes care of you, then your second sister-in-law will stay at home and do the laundry and cooking for them.

When Qiaoya has her baby, I'll help take care of it.

Another thing is that when I was a girl, I learned to weave cloth from someone.

I'm thinking of buying two plots of land, planting some kudzu and ramie, and then figuring out if I can get a loom.

Seeing that she had plans for the future, Chi Yu didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, Chi Qiao had also finished studying the laws and regulations of the Great Chu Kingdom.

After Huang Dani finished speaking, she considered for a moment and then said, "Xiaoyu, Qin Mu said that if you open a shop and do business, you need to register with the government."

If the annual operating profit exceeds one hundred taels, it will automatically be returned to the merchant.

Merchants in the Great Chu Kingdom, whether large or small, are not allowed to have their offspring take the imperial examinations.

So I think I'll pass on the business idea.

Chen Xiaomai, who was frying fish pieces, heard this and immediately dropped the fish she had just scooped out of the pot back into the oil.

She hurriedly scooped the fish out again, then turned to look at her sister-in-law with fear in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

If that's the case, then she won't open a shop and do business.

Her three sons have been working very hard lately.

When she went to deliver New Year's gifts to Master Shen a few days ago, he said that her son, Asen, was a good student.

She also hoped to raise a son, so that her family could be exempt from taxes and corvée labor.

If she were to run a business, what would she do if her son couldn't participate in the scientific expedition?

She would rather work hard, like before, and make a living by hunting, just to support him for a few more years.

Chi Qiao knew what her sister-in-law was thinking, and nodded cautiously upon hearing this:

"If I remember correctly, the offspring of merchants are not allowed to take the imperial examinations."

Furthermore, once classified as a merchant, the taxes they pay each year will be much higher than those of ordinary people.

However, there is a way to avoid this.

That is, to transfer the shop to the newlywed bride's name, and then write it as part of her dowry.

Using dowry items to conduct business will not be classified as a merchant.

After all, this is different from buying or renting a shop to do business.

Third sister-in-law, it's been almost twenty years since you married into the Chi family.

If you buy a shop and register it in your name, or rent a shop in your name, then people will know what's going on.

Of course, another way to avoid it is to not own a shop.

Make tofu and similar products, then push a cart out to sell them.

This way, they wouldn't have to pay commercial taxes or be classified as merchants.

However, without a fixed stall, it's difficult to do business when it's windy or rainy.

In terms of income, it will definitely be greatly affected!

Chi Yu knew that her sister was studying the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Since she said that, then it must be true.

She looked at her dejected third sister-in-law and A-Ye's wife, who looked disappointed, and after thinking for a moment, said:

"Third Sister-in-law, I have an idea, would you like to hear it?"

Chen Xiaomai forced herself to stay alert and looked at the fish in the pond.
