Yan Dahe and his friends came back on the 27th. Once everyone was together, the house suddenly became lively. Duoer and Paner were the happiest.
The first thing Zhang did when she came back was to find Chunxiao and give her her things. She also visited her house. Naturally, she received another round of praise.
In the evening, everyone gathered together for dinner. "Our home is only this lively during Chinese New Year. One table can't accommodate everyone, so we have to set up two tables."
"After we get married, I'm afraid we'll have to open three or four tables."
Yan Bangfa was the happiest. "I think you should do the same as Chunxiao, leaving the farm to your stewards and going home to have some quiet time. It's better for your family to live together."
"I won't go with Lan'er and the others now that we're back. It's the harvest season, so I still have to go and watch over it. Once all the processes are completed this year, I'll stay home next year. Duo'er is grown up, and children's affairs are more important than making money."
"It's great that you think so. I was afraid that you would be obsessed with money." Zhou looked at Yang Huaitian again, "Huaitian, please stay for a while after dinner. You still need to get the rules for Xiaoxue's matter."
Shufeng had already told him the general situation, and they really needed to discuss it carefully.
"Last time I heard Shufeng say that you wanted to expand your braised meat business?"
"Yes, this braised meat business is our family's exclusive business. If we expand it and do it well, the money we can earn will not be less than cotton. I thought we could make it a joint venture. Let's work out the rules together, and then I'll look for shops to open and start the business."
"Your aunt said this is a good thing, and we don't object. But brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and we have to make the profits clear in advance. Tell us how you want to divide it."
Yang Huaitian looked at the food on the table and said, "Why don't we talk about it now? Or we can discuss it after we finish eating."
"It's okay, we're all family, let's eat and talk at the same time, it won't hurt the relationship."
"Then I'll tell you this. Don't be angry if I don't say it well. Let's discuss it." He looked at the people at the two tables, "Let's divide it into four parts. One for us, one for my parents and brother, one for my second uncle's family, and one for my aunt. I'll do everything, and we'll take 30%. The recipe is my aunt's, so she'll take 30%, and my father and second uncle will each take 20." This was the new decision after he discussed it with Shufeng.
"Your allocation is quite reasonable. We originally thought that if you took us, it would be fine. But since you're giving your brother to us, 20% is more than enough."
"This is a good deal. We don't have to do anything. All we have to do is sit back and collect the money." Yan Dahe hugged his son. "Our Changxing needs to grow up quickly. When he grows up, he can help Dad."
"After getting the money, you really want to be a hands-off boss. You should help wherever you can."
Yan Bingfa spoke, and everyone nodded with a smile, "Of course. I hope this goes smoothly without requiring our help."
"I think you can't do it alone without help. So, how about I join you in this endeavor? Anyway, it doesn't matter whether Zhuangzi has me or not."
"It would be great if you could help me, brother."
"Then should we write an agreement, write down the profit sharing ratio, and have everyone put their fingerprints on it?"
"We're all family, there's no need for that."
"You have to write it down. Since it's already been agreed upon, we don't know how long this deal will last or how it will turn out. Unless you don't take it seriously, it's better to write it down if you really do. This way, you won't have any trouble explaining it later."
"Auntie is right. It's better for everyone to keep a receipt."
"Then you need to find a lot of shops."
Tian's question hit the nail on the head. Chunxiao smiled and said, "Now's the time to make money. Dongsheng and I opened a horse trading company. I bought several of the shops myself. He will have to pay me the rent when the time comes. If you don't want outsiders to make the rent, you can follow my example and buy the shops they like and rent them out to them. After all, if you don't need them anymore, you can still sell them."
"That's great. I still have a lot of money on hand. I'll give it to you when I leave. If you like a place, just buy it for me." Yan Dahe felt that this deal was a good deal and he didn't have to worry about it.
"We have quite a bit too. Give it all to Shuwen when the time comes. Be careful not to lose your money when you're out there."
Chunxiao still wanted to invest, but unfortunately all her money was converted into cash, and she had less than ten thousand taels of silver notes in her hand. She had no plans for the time being. This food shop was different from the horse business. The horse business had to build bases in several places at the same time, while food shops had to be opened one by one. She would make plans after she had a harvest on the farm this year.
After dinner, Yang Huaitian stayed to talk with Zhou and the others, and Chunxiao also stayed to listen.
"Now, there are four families who want to marry Xiaoxue. You are not familiar with the family background of the people in the village, so I can tell you in detail so that you can make your own decision. Xiaoxue is old enough, and you are busy with business outside and cannot take care of her. Please don't delay her."
"Grandma, is it really okay if my aunt comes back? Xiaoxue said, Xiaoxue said she still wants to be closer to us."
"I've guessed it a long time ago. What's the big deal? This is a lifelong event, how can we care about anything else? If they refuse, then they refuse. Let them find another one. Your aunt actually knows the answer. I talked to her about it last time. It's just that the girl is so good that she won't give up. In that case, let's choose from the three families in our village."
Zhou told him clearly about the family members of the three families, the relatives in the village, and the family conditions, and Tian supplemented them.
Chunxiao then realized that her mother and her eldest sister-in-law had put in a lot of effort. They almost investigated the man's entire ancestry.
