The next day, after making arrangements with his parents, he went to Xiling Village. Since Cheng's father and mother went to Wang's house for the banquet, everyone in the village knew that Cheng's son-in-law had won the third place in the imperial examination and was already an official in the capital. Their brother Chen was the official's husband, which made many people envious.
The winery's business over the years has been enough to make them envious, but now they can't even feel jealous, not to mention that the winery has brought them a lot of benefits.
Wang Yu and Cheng Chen didn't know what the villagers thought. They were talking about the winery with their father-in-law at Yue's house. The winery in Xiling Village was going to be handed over to Yue's family. Wang Yu had been in charge of the winery for only one year in the beginning, but he had basically not been in charge of it since then. His father-in-law's family ran the winery very well.
He told the Cheng family about his plan. Since this winery had nothing to do with Zhang Siyuan, the winery's wine would only be supplied to a few nearby towns. This was what he had agreed with Zhang Siyuan before.
When the Cheng family heard what Wang Yu said, they would never accept it. A 20% share of the profits was already very good. The winery had made a profit of more than 900 taels per year at the beginning.
The wine has become famous in the past two years, and the business of the winery is better. It is no longer just supplied to Baiweilou. People from nearby towns also come here to buy. The profit is one thousand two hundred to one thousand three hundred taels a year. How can they ask for so much? If it weren't for Wang Yu, their family would still be hunting in the mountains. They would not be in their current situation. Their sons have all bought houses in the capital.
Father Cheng quickly waved his hands: "How can this be possible? No, no, our family is already benefiting from the 20% annual interest. We can't take anything else."
Wang Yu: "Father-in-law, big brother, listen to me. Cheng Chen and I are going to the capital, and we don't know when we will be back. You have been managing this winery all along. I have already recovered my initial investment. From now on, this winery will be yours. We are family, so the better you are, the more at ease Cheng Chen will be."
After hearing what he said, Cheng's father still felt that it was not possible. The winery was originally built by Wang Yu alone. They had already taken advantage of it. How could they take it all? "Ayu, this matter..."
Wang Yu saw that his father-in-law still wanted to refuse, so he thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Father-in-law, give me the money I used to build the winery, and I'll give you the title deed to the winery. I'll just provide the recipe, just like the winery in the prefecture, and I'll only take 20% of the profit. How do you do that?"
"Father-in-law, it's settled. Cheng Chen and I can rest assured when we go to the capital."
Cheng's father and Cheng Yang looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. This son-in-law was too good to them. Then they nodded and agreed, "Okay, as you say."
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After talking with the Cheng family for such a long time, they finally agreed. He smiled at Cheng Chen and squeezed his hand.
Cheng Chen knew that this was all out of her husband's good intentions, but since everyone in the family was there, she felt embarrassed to put her hand in his, so she pulled her hand out with some force.
Wang Yu looked down at his empty hands and was surprised to find that his husband's hands were so strong.
Wang Yu stayed with Cheng Chen at Yue's house for a few days. When Cheng's mother knew that her son was going to the capital with his brother-in-law, she was reluctant to let him go. She held him and talked for a long time, and finally both of them came out with red eyes.
Wang Yu looked at Cheng Chen like this, and suddenly remembered that it was the same when he first brought Cheng Chen back home. He comforted him, "We often write letters to our parents."
"Yeah." Cheng Chen leaned in Wang Yu's arms and nodded. Dabao saw his father crying, so he came forward and lay down, saying, "Dad, cry."
Cheng Chen felt embarrassed when Dabao looked at him, so he picked him up and said, "Dad is not crying, he is just missing your grandma."
Dabao seemed to understand what he said, "I want to."
On the way back, I bought some enlightenment books from the bookstore in town and brought them back to the village chief. The family prepared to pack their luggage and set off for the capital.
They went to the provincial capital first. There were more passenger ships at the pier in the provincial capital, and they probably wouldn't be back for a long time, so things in the provincial capital needed to be arranged. Zheng Shu was going to the capital with them. Aunt Liu was a living indenture and would definitely not go to the capital. Uncle Sun's family and Wang Yu asked them to stay in the provincial capital to take care of the house.
Cheng Fei is still studying and now lives with his parents. His sister-in-law does not work in the winery and is specifically taking care of Feifei and Xingxing.
Zhang Siyuan can just take care of the affairs of the Fucheng Winery. The main thing is the affairs of the garment shop, which need to be arranged. Wang Yu and Cheng Chen found four master chefs. They have done a good job here in the past few years.
The four master chefs also knew that the owner of the shop had passed the imperial examination and was going to the capital to become an official. They were extremely shocked when they received the news a few days ago. Their shop would now have an official as its backer.
Wang Yu invited the four people to sit down on the second floor. "In the past few years, Chenxiu Pavilion has been able to thrive thanks to several master craftsmen. Cheng Chen and I are going to the capital, and this shop still depends on you. I will give you an extra 5% of the profits every year, and you will also have a share of this shop. Let's work together to make the shop better and better."
The four master chefs had never thought that they would have their own share in the shop they had worked in for several years. After listening to Wang Yu's words, they each calculated in their minds that the annual profit would be seventy or eighty taels, plus the wages, which would be one hundred and thirty or forty taels a year, enough to buy a courtyard in the provincial capital in one year.
The four of them couldn't help but say, "Yes, Boss, we will do it well."
After everything in the city was arranged, Song Boyan came to the city with his mother, wife and children on June 30th and stayed at Wang Yu's house for one night. The two children were very happy to see each other and went to play with toys together happily.
Early the next morning, Wang Yu and Song Boyan went to the dock to inquire about passenger ships. The dock had merchant ships to various places, but the prices were slightly different. Wang Yu and his friends planned to book a better passenger ship, and finally booked a two-decker large passenger ship, which would depart in the afternoon. The fare to the capital was eight taels of silver per person.
