Chapter 957 Decision (Thanks to the reward from the book friend "Kz")
Manbao feels that there is no skill in this world that cannot be learned by reading books, and there are all kinds of books in the encyclopedia, so there should be books like winemaking.
So she was very confident and said to her two brothers directly, "Leave the winemaking to me. Is this the shop you chose?"
Zhou Wulang looked at the various information on the paper, found a pen to cross out several shops, and then handed the paper to Zhou Liulang. Now there were only three shops that had not been crossed out.
"Pick one."
Zhou Liulang couldn't help but look at the largest shop. As a cook, he just liked spacious places.
When Zhou Lijun saw it, he said, "Since Uncle Six likes it, let's buy this."
Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei also nodded. "Buy it, buy it. The place is spacious. If we are busy at night and the gate closes early, we can stay there even if we can't come back."
Zhou Wulang looked at Manbao and said, "Before we came here, mother gathered 1,500 taels of silver for us."
Manbao said generously, "I'll pay for the rest of the money. I'll put another 200 taels into the account."
Zhou Wulang had never been to Yizhou City with Manbao before, so he didn't know that she made a lot of money selling flowers. He blinked and asked, "How much money do you have on hand?"
Manbao chuckled and didn't tell him.
Zhou Wulang looked at Zhou Lijun.
Zhou Lijun shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out. My aunt has always kept her own money."
She could calculate how much money her fourth uncle had, and how much private money her eldest and second brothers had saved, but she really couldn't calculate the private money of her youngest aunt, because she had always managed her own accounts.
Moreover, my aunt has many ways to make money when she is out there. Of course she knows the big money she makes from selling flowers, but apart from this money, my aunt has many other ways to make money.
For example, the thank-you gifts from the Ji family were given to her several times, and she didn't know how much they were.
For example, when she and Dr. Ji went out to see patients, she always got some medical fees. When they went to some wealthy families, they would see that she was cute and give her an extra gift.
In addition, there is also the income from their farm. In the past two years, Old Zhou and Qian asked Manbao not to pay any more money to the public treasury, saying that Manbao had to study abroad. As soon as she paid, Old Zhou withheld it and said he had to return it to Manbao.
However, everyone in the Zhou family unanimously believed that the money was kept by Zhou himself, and even if it was to be given to Manbao, it would probably be given to him when Manbao was about to get married.
But before leaving, Old Zhou and Qian took Manbao aside and talked in private for a long time, and maybe they really gave the money to Manbao.
So she really couldn't figure it out.
Although Zhou Wulang really wanted to know how much money Yaomei had saved, he stopped asking when he saw that she was so happy that she refused to tell him.
"Okay, I'll find a broker to negotiate the price tomorrow."
Manbao asked, "Do you want to ask the shopkeeper Zheng to help act as a middleman?"
Zhou Wulang thought for a moment and then shook his head. "Not for now. I'll go negotiate first. If we can come to an agreement, we'll sign it ourselves. If not, we'll ask Manager Zheng to come forward."
Zhou Lizhong said, "We already know the valuation, so why bother hiring a realtor?"
Zhou Wulang said, "What do you know? Buying a shop is a complicated matter. No one knows if there are other things involved. Those brokers have connections and are familiar with things. They know how to handle such things. I would rather spend a few more taels of silver to be safe than to be ripped off later."
Manbao nodded repeatedly, "That's the truth."
Zhou Wulang stood up and said, "Okay, when will you give me the money?"
Manbao said, "I'll give it to you tonight. I'll go back and count the money."
Zhou Lijun followed her back out of curiosity, "Aunt, where did you hide your money? There's so much money."
Manbao said calmly, "Did you see all those boxes in my room?"
"Isn't that for books and clothes?"
Manbao said meaningfully: "That's why I won't tell you."
However, Manbao decided to find time to exchange the silver in the system space for gold, as gold is much easier to carry than silver.
Manbao counted his silver and took out 1,500 taels. After thinking for a while, he found her gold and exchanged it for some silver. Then he put it in an empty rattan box to make room.
In the evening Zhou Wulang brought his younger brother and nephews to carry the money.
I saw Manbao drag out a rattan box from under the bed, open it, and it was full of silver.
He looked under the bed carefully and asked doubtfully, "You hid your money under the bed?"
"No, I put this in this afternoon. Fifth brother, don't always try to find where I hide my money, or I'll find your secret money next time and give it directly to Fifth Sister-in-law."
Zhou Wulang blushed and whispered, "Nonsense, I don't hide any private money."
Zhou Liulang took the lead in making a fuss and let out an "Ah!" with a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhou Wulang kicked Zhou Liulang on the butt and said, "What are you talking about? I already have a wife, why would I hide my private money? Only Fourth Brother and you would think of hiding private money."
Zhou Liulang urged Manbao, "Manbao, go find out Fifth Brother's private money."
Manbao waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, take the money away quickly. Lijun, you have to put my account on the bill. If the shop makes money later, you have to give me half of the profit."
"I understand, aunt. I'll keep it in mind."
Zhou Liulang said as he carried the money, "Manbao, asking for half of the profits is too much, isn't it? I can only give you 40% at most."
Zhou Lizhong also nodded, "Yes, aunt, you only pay half of the money, but we also pay wages. We are not paid now, and we work for nothing."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then 40%."
Zhou Liwei: "Auntie, why don't you consider 30% again?"
Manbao snorted and said, "No, I also have a recipe for making wine. I can make a lot of money from wine. Lijun, remember this later."
Zhou Lijun nodded and responded loudly, "Okay!"
Manbao, with the authority of an aunt, set a 40% profit quota and said to Keke in her heart, "It won't be long before we can go shopping without restraint."
Koko gave Manbao a smiley face as encouragement, but he was not very confident in their ability to make money.
Because it looked in the encyclopedia, it didn't find any wine-making recipes from ancient times or those that were developed in modern times. As for relevant records, it looked carefully and found that there were no specific recipes, only some descriptions of techniques.
Only after Manbao sent the people carrying the money away did it tell Manbao this conclusion.
Manbao sat cross-legged on the bed, still very confident. "Show it to me. Since we have records, it shouldn't be difficult to figure it out. Isn't this how we figured out various kinds of dried tofu in the past?"
Koko searched for the books she had found and showed them to her.
Manbao bought it generously and then paid points to print it into a book.
Manbao took out the book and looked through it, then asked, "Which page is it on?"
