Tian An thought for a moment and said, "When you hire someone, ask the wounded village next door to see if they can do it. They are heroes of the country. We should take care of them on a daily basis and help as much as we can."
Uncle Yonghui nodded and said, "Don't worry! An'an, we are not such hard-hearted people."
"Okay! I'll leave the farm to you with confidence. Brother Yiming and I will go back first." Tian An said with a smile.
Old Man Luo patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, young lady. We promise to keep the manor in perfect order and will definitely not cause you any trouble."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhao Yiming drove the carriage with Tian An in front.
Chen Feng followed behind with two cows. He had no choice but to use the cows as draft animals, which resulted in the cows not producing milk.
Now that everyone has settled down, Liu Da needs to think of a way to get the cows back on track. Tian An needs milk, as it's very useful! Expenses are everywhere in the capital, so they need to find a way to make money. They can't just sit around and eat up all the money! Zhao Yiming's school expenses are still huge!
Zhao Yiming deliberately drove the carriage faster, making sure that Chen Feng was far away and could not hear their conversation, before he discussed with Tian An how to take out all the food in the space.
The farm is now bare. If you use silver to buy seeds, it will cost a lot of money. The seeds in the space are the best. Not only are they high-yielding, but they also don't cost money.
After the two of them had discussed it, they asked Chen Feng to lead the cows behind, and they went back to the city to check the grain seeds first.
After returning to the city, the two drove a carriage from the outer city to the inner city, visiting no less than ten grain seed shops. In the end, they were glad that Tian An had a good space, because grain seeds were really too expensive.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Tian An bought a few strings of candied haws and the two of them went home.
On the way, the two "accidentally" drove the carriage into a dead end. After coming out, Tian An and Zhao Yiming sat on the edge of the carriage together, and the carriage was full of grain seeds.
After returning home, he asked someone to move the grain seeds to the warehouse. Tian An happily went to find his two younger brothers with the candied haws.
After dinner, Chunxi and Chen Qiang came to Tian An to report today’s results.
"There are basically no vacant shops around us, and they are all in the hands of big families. They won't sell out unless something unexpected happens, and the rent is extremely high. The worse ones can earn around fifty or sixty taels a month, and the bigger shops with good locations can earn one or two hundred taels a month." Chun Xi said worriedly.
In the morning, when Tian An asked her to go out for a walk around the area, she knew that Tian An wanted to open a shop. At noon, she went out with Chen Qiang and they went to several dental shops and came to similar conclusions.
Tian An was also a little worried. Renting a shop was quite risky. Business in a bad location would not be good, and the rent in a good location was too expensive.
They were out of food, so they couldn't open a grain shop. The rent for a noodle shop was too high to justify it. As for opening a cosmetics shop, they had no one to back them up, and they didn't know any women from wealthy families in the capital, so it would be hard to promote it.
The reason Huanyanfang in Jinning County was so successful was because she knew Qin Yalan and Gu Jinyan. On the opening day, they brought a lot of wealthy girls from the county to her, which made it an instant success.
Unfortunately, she doesn't know anyone now. Qin Yalan did come to Beijing, but she didn't expect to come so soon and didn't leave any contact address.
Why!
"It's not realistic to open a shop now. We'd better keep an eye out for a shop with a good location and low price later. We have to think of other ways first." Tian An said helplessly.
Chun Xi thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Miss, how about we go set up a stall! You and the young master don't have to show up, we can just send our servants to do it."
Chunxi then told them about their visit to the vegetable market in front of the college and other places today, and about the vendors setting up stalls.
Chen Qiang also said: "The vendors at the entrance of the college are doing very well. Those young men are all rich. As long as the goods are good, they are willing to pay money even if they are a bit expensive. That is... that is..."
Seeing Chen Qiang hesitating, Tian An frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"That's right, Chunxi and I went out and looked into it today. Many of the people living in our area are officials or children from wealthy families who rent houses here to study at the academy. They all have some financial resources.
The young master will also go to Songshan Academy to study in the future. If we go to set up a stall, will it be…" Chen Qiang stopped talking.
But Tian An understood what he meant. He was just afraid of losing Zhao Yiming's face!
Hiss… That’s a problem, ha! Boys of this age tend to be more or less concerned about their reputation.
Just when Tian An was wondering whether Zhao Yiming would care, he suddenly heard Zhao Yiming's voice coming from outside the door.
He said, "You don't steal or rob, you make a living by your own ability. What's there to be ashamed of? You can set up the stall in front of Songshan Academy and sell it. I can help you close it after school."
Tian Anle was happy. He was indeed the boy she had her eye on. Was face more important than belly? "Then we'll go to Songshan Academy to set up a stall. I can also pick you up from school every day."
Chunxi and Chen Qiang looked at each other and both laughed.
"Girl, what should we sell at the stall?" Chun Xi asked.
"Let's sell the braised meat first! Go down and prepare, and set up the stall as soon as possible."
"Okay, girl." The two of them took their leave, leaving the space to Tian An and the other two.
Zhao Yiming stepped forward and took Tian An's hand and asked, "Are you tired?"
Tian An immediately became overly concerned and stretched out his limbs, "I'm so tired!"
The corner of Zhao Yiming's mouth twitched: "Then let me pinch it for you?"
Tian An instantly relaxed his shoulders and squinted his eyes as he said, "Thank you, brother Yiming."
…Zhao Yiming gritted his teeth and said coldly, “Call me brother.”
Tian An refused, "I'm older than you, so I have to call you brother. This is a fact, just accept it."
Zhao Yiming flexed his fingers and said in a low voice, "Say it one last time, call me brother."
"I……"
Before Tian An could utter the word "no", Zhao Yiming covered his mouth from behind, and the soft flesh on his waist instantly felt numb.
“Mmm…Mmm…”
Tian An's mouth was covered, and her laughter could not be heard at all, almost suffocating her to death.
Fortunately, Zhao Yiming knew his limits. Seeing her blushing and angry, he immediately let go of her hand.
“Inhale…exhale…”
Tian An took two deep breaths of fresh air before he recovered. "Did you murder your fiancée?"
Zhao Yiming's face was also a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry."
Then he placed his hands on her shoulders and neck and slowly massaged them.
"An An."
"Um?"
"Follow me, you'll be tired."
"What's the big deal about being tired now? I have such a good eye! I've already picked out the best boy in the area. I have a lot of good things in the future."
Zhao Yiming curled the corners of his lips shyly, "Well, there will be good days."
