“Then let’s take advantage of the fact that there are no crops in the fields during winter and buy some land! When we have money, we should buy houses and land,” Cai Xiaolian said.
“I agree! Buy land, buy more. Who knows how many seeds that Lu and Zhou Yuan still have?” Gu Nian said, glancing at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin thought Gu Nian was asking for her opinion, so she nodded and said, "Buying land is a good idea. Uncle said that land is the foundation of us farmers."
Gu Shouxin thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's buy the land then. We spent over a hundred taels on building the new house and making furniture, and we still have over three hundred taels left. Let's keep the change and use three hundred taels to buy the land!"
"Father, can the land purchase be registered directly in our daughter's name at the government office now?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
“If we’re going to register it under my daughter’s name, then we might as well buy a estate,” Gu Shouxin said after thinking for a moment.
"Zhuangzi?" The mother and her two daughters looked at Gu Shouxin with some surprise.
“Yes, a manor. A manor is easier for people to manage, unlike fields which are scattered.” Gu Shouxin nodded.
“But Father, the estate is so expensive. Father needs to study, and my sister is getting married and we need to prepare a dowry. Our family doesn’t have that much money.” Thanks to the subtle influence of the three time-traveling friends, Gu Xin now has a certain understanding of money.
"You little rascal, my marriage isn't something you need to worry about!" Gu Nian couldn't help but pinch Gu Xin's cheek. Hmm, she's getting more and more chubby.
"I have enough money for my studies. Hmm, we're moving on the eighth of the month, so we have a few more days to make another batch of suits," Gu Shouxin said.
“Yes, your father is right. A lot of people will be giving New Year’s gifts before the New Year, and this set’s reputation has already spread. Although we don’t have a shop yet, we don’t have to worry about selling our products. Let’s make a profit before the New Year, try to earn enough to buy a small estate. The shop will definitely need a workshop, so we can set up the workshop on the estate. We’ll give this first estate to Niannian, and next year when we make money, we’ll buy one for Xinxin. After that, we can use the money to buy more land in our village.” Cai Xiaolian thought about it and felt that Gu Shouxin’s suggestion was excellent.
Her thinking is somewhat modern; buying houses and land—if that were applied in ancient times, one could have built an entire estate, possessing both houses and land.
Then I'll buy a batch of people from the brokerage firm and put them on the estate, so I won't have to live there and manage it myself.
It's true that people from ancient times were more knowledgeable about market conditions.
"I want the last one. My sister bought it, and then bought some for Mom and Dad. If there's any left over, I can have it!" Gu Xin said.
"You! Wait until you buy it for your sister first!" Cai Xiaolian patted Gu Xin's head and laughed.
“By the way, we can design even more exquisite boxes and have Master Yang and your fourth uncle make them. We can set the price a bit higher. The gift boxes aren’t just for toiletries; we can make other things in our spare time. I see that Huihui and Sisi are skillful, and since my sister-in-law has finished her postpartum confinement, let’s just talk to Mom and ask Huihui and Sisi to come and help. We’ll pay them, and my sister-in-law can do the housework. The more people there are, the more things we can make,” Cai Xiaolian added.
"Mother, what do you mean by 'other'? Food or something else?" Gu Nian asked.
“The sausages can be kept for a while, right? The different flavors of sunflower seeds and peanuts you fried before, and the crispy peanuts you made for Xinxin, can all be sold as New Year’s goods,” Cai Xiaolian said.
"Oh right, these can all be sold!" Gu Nian slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing. She had been so focused on making shampoo and researching various perfumes lately that she had forgotten she could also make money selling snacks.
