"How much money do I need to invest?" asked Old Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye said, "At least eighty taels is required. The young master said it would be best if both parties contributed one hundred taels each, which would be more generous.
"Let's not talk about anything else, just in the capital, every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
"A woodworking shop takes up a lot of space, so finding a suitable location would cost a lot of money."
When Old Mrs. Ye heard this number, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
But after thinking for a while, she said, "I also think this is a good opportunity. Although the investment is a bit high, it will be earned by the two of you. Just think it over."
"As for how to cooperate, we still need to write a good contract and spell out all the aspects clearly. I'll ask Qingshan to find someone knowledgeable to take a look at it for you.
"You two can't read, and no one in our family understands these things, so you must not be careless.
"You can't be afraid of bothering others at times like this. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you two won't even have a place to cry."
Mrs. Ye San had never thought about this matter at first. Although she was carefree in her daily life, she was still a strong-willed person at heart.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so upset because I felt I was not as good as my elder and second sisters-in-law.
If there was no need, she naturally would not want to trouble Ye Qingshan.
But after listening to what Old Lady Ye said, she felt that it made sense, so she nodded and said, "Mom, I understand. Don't worry."
After Mrs. Ye finished talking to the third brother's wife, she turned to the fourth brother and said, "Your three sisters-in-law will be able to help you prepare the things for the engagement. You can take more time these two days to accompany your third brother to see if there is a suitable shop.
"You've been working in the Imperial Guard for so long, you should be very familiar with the capital. I'll leave this matter to you."
Since Old Lady Ye had spoken, there was no reason for Old Fourth Ye to disobey.
But he really had no idea where in the capital was suitable for opening a woodworking workshop.
After leaving Prince Rui's Mansion, Ye Lao Si asked, "Third Brother, what kind of place are you looking for?"
Ye Lao San didn't really have any rules in mind, so he said, "You suddenly asked me this, and I'm really stumped.
“Anyway, the ceiling height of the house must be high, otherwise it will be inconvenient to move a lot of furniture in and out.
"We must have a big yard, otherwise we won't be able to work freely.
"There needs to be a place to store wood, and a place for people to live..."
Ye Laosi was stunned after hearing this. It would be difficult to find a place that meets so many conditions at the same time, right?
"Okay, Third Brother, you and your sister-in-law should go back to the dumpling restaurant to rest today. I'll go back and ask around. I'll come to the dumpling restaurant to find you tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Ye Lao San didn't bother to be polite with him. The three of them separated at the intersection and went back to rest.
When Ye Laosi returned to Yulin Guard, he went to find Ma Ge to inquire about the situation.
Since he was promoted for his meritorious service, Ma Ge, his deputy, naturally also rose in status.
Although his position and salary did not increase, he was still Ye Lao Si's deputy, and his actual status was much higher than before.
Brother Ma was very satisfied with this. Given his age and experience, if he had not seized the opportunity and followed Ye Lao Si, he would probably have been an ordinary soldier until his death, and would not have been as powerful as he is now.
So when he heard Ye Laosi asking where there was a shop suitable for opening a carpentry workshop, although he himself didn't know, he immediately asked around in the barracks.
Ye Laosi had just washed up and hadn't even laid down when Brother Ma came back with good news.
"Captain, I'll ask everything..."
"Brother Ma," Ye Lao Si interrupted him helplessly, "There's no outsider here, so why do you have to keep calling me captain? It makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Ma Ge said seriously, "We are in the camp now, so we must act according to our positions.
"You're just not used to your new job. I'll call you more often and you'll get used to it."
Ye Laosi knew that he couldn't win the argument, so he just waved his hand to signal to skip the topic.
Ma Ge continued, "There's a Luban Hutong in the south of the city. There are many woodworking workshops and bamboo art shops there. You can go there and take a look tomorrow."
"Luban Hutong?" Ye Laosi said, "That name sounds suitable for a carpentry workshop!"
"No one remembers what the alley was called before. It's called that now because more and more carpentry workshops have opened up there."
"So that's what's going on. Thank you, Brother Ma. I understand."
After Ye Laosi got the news, he slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, he went straight to the dumpling restaurant to find Ye Laosan without even having breakfast.
Mrs. Ye San got up even earlier and was already busy in the kitchen.
When Ye Lao Si entered the house, he did not look for his third brother first, but went straight to the kitchen and asked, "Third sister-in-law, is there anything to eat?"
"See, what did I say? The fourth brother will definitely come for breakfast." Mrs. Ye San said to Ye Lao San who was sitting at the table next to her while taking wontons out of the pot.
"Good morning, Third Brother!" Ye Lao Si casually greeted him and then said to Third Sister Ye, "Of course, although the food we have is filling, it's not as delicious as what the sisters-in-law cook!
"I got up early to come here because I was afraid of missing the breakfast made by my third sister-in-law."
As Ye Lao Si said this, he took the big bowl of wontons from Ye Sansao's hand, held it in his hand and sat down at the table.
Ye Laosan had already prepared the spoon and was waiting, but his younger brother snatched it away halfway.
He raised his foot and kicked Ye Lao Si: "You have no respect for your elders. That was served to me by your third sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Ye quickly placed the second bowl of wontons in front of Ye Lao San and slapped him, saying, "You're already a grown-up, and you're still trying to grab food from your brother?
