Chapter 287 Let Him Ask
Zhang Juexia didn't take the banknote, but told Li Yingyue, "I remember our contract states that the dividend is one share per year.
You mentioned this last time, and I wanted to remind you. But since you haven't mentioned it recently, I thought you forgot."
"We'll handle this matter specially. You want to open a shop in Qingfeng City, right? You must use silver!"
"That doesn't require so much! Besides, opening a shop isn't something you can just do. You have to think long and hard about it!"
"Sister Juexia, you didn't look at the account book carefully. This is all the money you've saved in just half a year. Hurry and put it away!
If I hadn't earned so much money, the Xu family wouldn't have used my brother to scheme against me."
"Xu Yanchen is still plotting against you?"
"Of course, he was the one who planned the loss of my goods. I found out about it later.
To be honest, you and your brother-in-law have helped me so many times that I don’t know how to repay you.”
"We were talking about Xu Yanchen's matter, how come it's involving me again? It seems that this Xu family is restless!"
"His family has long been domineering, relying on the connections they have accumulated in Shunhe County over the years.
If someone's business is doing well, they will get involved, and if they don't compromise, they will seize it by force."
Li Yingyue waved her hand. "Oh, let's not talk about their family anymore. It'll spoil my mood. Hurry up and count the banknotes and write a receipt."
Zhang Juexia counted and found that Li Yingyue had sent a total of one thousand taels of silver notes. It had only been half a year, and she had received so much with just a one percent profit. It was obvious that the canned food business was profitable.
"Then I'll take it. Thank you."
"This is what you deserve. I'm still in the process of expanding my territory, and I've spent some of the money I've earned. When I stop investing, you should get more."
"I'll give you my good wishes."
Li Yingyue thought of something else, "Do you know Liu Sanle?"
Zhang Juexia didn't want to tell Li Yingyue about their past grievances, so he shook his head and asked, "Who is this person?"
"Since you don't know him, forget it."
After saying that, Li Yingyue stood up and was about to leave, but Zhang Juexia couldn't help but hold her back, "Why do you leave things unfinished? Tell me what happened to this person."
"That day, I heard a shopkeeper say that Liu Sanle was asking about you. At that time, I was very surprised. Why would he ask about you?
However, when I saw him and Xu Yanchen together that day, I had a rough idea of what was going on.
I thought of it today and just asked a question.
Since you don't know him, just ask him.
He is nothing more than a scholar who passed the imperial examination this year, not the top scorer, so there is nothing to be surprised about.
Oh, by the way, sister, you have just arrived in the county and may not know much about the county. This Liu Sanle is the son-in-law of the Shunhe County teacher.
Speaking of his wife, Li Yiran, there's a lot to talk about. I have to go to the shop downstairs today. If you're interested, we can talk about it sometime.
But, sister, don't be afraid of Liu Sanle just because he is a scholar.
Maybe before long, my brother-in-law will be a martial arts scholar."
Li Yingyue arrived at the gate, waved to Zhang Juexia, jumped into the carriage, and disappeared in an instant.
Coincidentally, Manager Wan came to say goodbye to Zhang Juexia. He didn't even go home. He said a few words to Zhang Juexia and then hurried back to Jinshui Town.
Zhang Juexia didn't take Li Yingyue's words to heart. He went into the house, put the banknotes away, and prepared to go to the front yard.
Li Le was sent back to Jinshui Town by Ye Beixiu with just a few words.
Now Yang Zhi is in charge of the soap shop. Zhang Juexia is worried and goes to see if he is capable of doing the job.
When Zhang Juexia came over, Yang Zhi was busy and sweating. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Juexia, "Madam, you are here."
"You keep busy."
After seeing off a wave of guests, Yang Zhi began to complain, "Madam, this job of welcoming and seeing off guests really doesn't suit me. I don't know when Shopkeeper Li Le will come back."
Zhang Juexia helped him tidy up the scattered items on the counter, "It should be soon, Brother Yang. No one is born to be a shopkeeper. Don't think that you are not suitable for this job. The more you think about it, the more confused you will feel.
You just keep encouraging yourself, I can do it, I can do it, just do it."
Yang Zhi tried several times and said, "Madam, let's not do it. I still think it's better for me to do these things in the back.
Look at the style and the color. The more I look at it, the more I like it."
Zhang Juexia was amused by Yang Zhi's appearance, "Brother Yang, if you can bear with it a little longer, maybe Li Le will come back tomorrow."
"I hope so!"
The two were talking to each other when suddenly someone came in and walked towards Zhang Juexia, "Big sister, is it really you?"
Zhang Juexia was stunned by this person's enthusiasm. "Who are you?"
"Big sister, don't you remember? I'm Liu Dalong from Liujiawan. You bought me a lot of peanuts last year."
Speaking of peanuts, Zhang Juexia remembered, "You are the one who sells peanuts at the Jinshui Town market."
Liu Dalong chuckled, "It's me, it's me."
"What are you doing?"
Liu Dalong picked up the sack in his hand and shook it in front of Zhang Juexia, "I've sold all the peanuts at home, so I wanted to come to the county town to look for new ways to make money.
No, I just bought a few bars of soap from this shop and was wondering if I could sell them when I get back to town.
I hadn't walked far when I heard a few people talking a lot in a mumbling voice. I couldn't hear anything else they said.
Instead, they pointed to the soap shop and said that his soap was good and sold quickly.
I had another idea and thought that since I was in the county town, I might as well buy a few more pieces to take back.
If I sell well and run out of stock, I'll be so anxious! "
Yang Zhi hurried over and said, "Sir, if you need a few more bars of soap, I'll get them for you."
"No hurry, no hurry, let me talk to the elder sister. Elder sister, why are you here?"
Yang Zhi was very unhappy when he heard Liu Dalong calling her "Big Sister". "Sir, this is our wife. She owns this shop."
"Oh my goodness, this..., you..., no wonder when you bought me peanuts, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. It is true, oh, this..."
Liu Dalong was so happy that he was incoherent.
Zhang Juexia looked at him with his teeth showing and felt that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, Liu Dalong, we are already acquaintances. Plus, we live in the same town, so we are fellow villagers once we leave the town.
You're planning to take this soap back to town and sell it, right?"
Liu Dalong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's right."
Zhang Juexia helped him choose some, "These, and these, they're all selling well. What about the price?"
Shopkeeper Yang, this guy is an acquaintance my husband and I met last year. Can you give me a discount?
Yang Zhi looked at the soap and thought, but Liu Dalong felt a little uneasy.
