The farmland was bought quickly. Chunxiao took Meiman, Chunliu and Xiaohua to look at it together. Both places were in the village of Luokou Town, not far from them. They were the land of the town.
The township government sold her 87 acres of rice and 75 acres of wheat, including the harvest, at the price of 10 taels per acre. She had originally hired people from nearby villages to farm the land, and compensated them with 10 taels of silver per season to help take care of the land. Although the land has been sold now, she still has to finish the season.
The money offered by the township government was naturally low, but it was convenient for her. She didn't have to take care of the fields until July. During this time, she could buy land in the village to build a warehouse, and then transfer people to guard it.
Shufeng and her friends have cleaned up their shop these days. There is no need to redecorate the front of the house, but they need to buy some more things in the kitchen. However, they don't need to buy too much. If it is braised meat, Tian can prepare it at the farm and send it to them. However, the shop's plaque has not been carved yet.
The name of the shop is Wenfeng Braised Meat Shop. Shufeng said it was simple and clear, and it was obvious that it was opened by her and her brother.
Yang Huaitian took Yang Xue back to Sanchuan County and brought all the luggage there.
He planned to continue his peddler business. Shufeng planned to ask Yang Xue for help, as Shuwen sometimes had to help out at the farm and she was worried that she would be too busy.
Chunxiao felt that the two girls were not safe in the store, so she transferred Chun Sanshi from Zhuangzi to help them.
Chunxiao even went to the township government to give a gift to Chen Tingzhang, asking him to tell the officers to take good care of Wenfeng Braised Meat Shop. Business safety is paramount.
After discussion, the price was set at the previous price of 40 wen per catty. Chunxiao said that they didn't need to sell too much every day, and it would be enough to limit the quantity to 100 catties. This way, if others thought it tasted good and wanted to buy it but couldn't, they would have a thought in their mind. If they thought it was not delicious, they would not lose too much money.
Tian also agreed. It would not be tiring to make 100 kilograms. If all were sold, there would be a net profit of two to three taels a day, which was pretty good. As the child had just started the business, she did not expect to achieve success overnight.
Tian has been helping to set up the shop these days. It feels like she's back to the time when she first set up a stall, except that conditions are better now and the children can all buy shops.
Chunxiao took Meiman and Chunliu to the village where the grain field was located to discuss the purchase of land with the headman. The headman knew that they had bought the land from the township government and were going to build a house in the village and would ask villagers to do the work in the future, so he was very happy and quickly approved the land for them. With the land, the next step was to build the house.
She was too lazy to follow up on these matters, so she handed them all over to Meiman and Chunliu. Her requirements were simple. She would draw the blueprints, and leave the rest of hiring a masonry team and people to do the work to them. They would just need to do the accounting when the time came, and there would definitely be enough money in the accounts.
At the beginning of May, Wenfeng's braised meat shop officially opened. As soon as the stove was lit, the fragrance filled the entire street. On the first day of opening, the goods were sold out. Shufeng even let Yang Huaitian and Xiaoxue taste the meat, and they both said that they had never eaten such delicious meat.
Yang Huaitian found Shuwen and said that he had to go to the county town to buy goods every once in a while. He asked them if he could buy 50 kilograms of braised meat from them and sell it in the county town when he went there, so that he would not go empty-handed.
After discussing with Tian, Shuwen immediately agreed and asked him to notify them the day before he went to the county town, so that they could braise more in advance for him to sell. As for the selling price, as long as he could sell it, it was up to him to decide.
Chunxiao's houses in the two villages were all completed in May. She went to see them when they were completed. It was still a small courtyard, but there were only four rooms in the front for living, and the others were storehouses. The back still had what it should have, with a well dug in a corner of the yard and two stone mills added in the backyard.
Chunxiao assigned 4 people to each side and promoted one of them to be the junior manager. The junior manager was naturally selected from those who were better at studying. She asked them to look after the granary and prepared to provide 4 cows to both sides. She also wanted to buy a few more cows from the farm. She still handed this matter over to Meiman and Chunliu.
In June, when Shufeng and her friends' business was booming, good news came from Huangkou Village that she was pregnant. Xiaohua was extremely happy to hear the news. She never thought that one day she would become an aunt.
Chunxiao took some time to visit Xingfu at Zhuangzi. Seeing that her face was rosier than last time, she was very happy for her.
"You need to be more careful and don't go out on your own. If you have any problems, tell Chunwu and Lao Zhao and let them handle it for you. Don't try to be stubborn."
"Boss, I'm sorry, it's a busy time right now, and I..." Xingfu felt a little ashamed.
"What are you talking about? It's obviously a good thing. What's there to be sorry about? It's not like I need you so badly. Isn't the old lady overjoyed?"
Xingfu nodded. "After my mother found out, she was very happy for several days. Now the whole village knows about it. It's so embarrassing."
"What's so embarrassing? It's a good thing. Don't think too much. Xiaohua is very happy."
"Sister, the lady gave me some cloth and asked me to make clothes for the baby. I want to make a lot of clothes for her." Xiaohua looked happy and said, "Sister, it's so good now."
Zhao Shitou was busy working in the fields, but knowing she was coming, he still found time to come over. "Boss."
"She is pregnant now, so you have to pay attention to her diet. You can catch some chickens and raise them, and stew one for her when you have time. But she can't eat too much, otherwise it will be difficult for her to give birth to a child when she grows up." Although she had no experience, she still understood the theoretical knowledge.
"Thank you, sir. I'll buy some chickens tomorrow and raise them. sir, is Xiao An being well behaved over there?"
