Chapter 198 Buying a Farm and a Shop
I don't know when the rain stopped, and there was a rainbow hanging in the sky.
There were footsteps approaching, and the two looked and saw Zhao Suying and Qingfeng walking quickly towards them.
Li Wanyue took off her coat and handed it to Xie Yan, then walked towards Zhao Suying.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Zhao Suying looked at her and saw that her clothes were dry. She felt relieved to know that she was not wet in the rain.
"Isn't this because I'm worried about you? It was raining hard just now, and I wanted to come out to pick you up, but Qingfeng said that there are pavilions all around the field, and you must be hiding from the rain in a pavilion, so it's good that you didn't get wet.
"I'm fine. We've finished looking at this area. Let's go."
Xie Yan also stepped forward: "I'm sorry to have made Auntie worried."
Zhao Suying smiled.
Xie Yan asked, "Would you like to meet the tenants in this farm?"
"Tenant, it's getting late today. Let's meet again another day."
"Okay, let's go eat first, and then go check out the shop."
A few people left the farm, had dinner, and went to visit a few shops.
Li Wanyue wanted to open a pastry shop, so she chose a shop next to Moxiangzhai.
This shop was originally a pastry shop, and it had all the cabinets and shelves needed, so there was no need to buy anything else.
The shop is of a good size, with five rooms in the backyard, a kitchen with all the utensils, even an oven, an operation room, and a well.
The location is good, the customer flow is large, and it can be opened after a little cleaning.
The most important thing is that Shen Yu can help take care of it.
Shen Yu happened to see it and ran over to say hello. When he heard that they wanted him to help look after the child, he agreed immediately.
"I can help take care of it, but what's in it for me?"
"You can eat as much cakes as you want in the shop."
"What else?"
"Isn't that enough?"
Shen Yu said as a matter of course: "How can it be enough? How many snacks can I eat? I only eat one piece every three to five days. If I help you look after the store, I will have to step in whenever there is something going on. If someone causes trouble, won't I have to worry and work hard?"
Xie Yan said: "Since you are so afraid of being tired, then I'd better not bother you. The owner of this snack shop is idle at home because the shop is closed. He has worked here for many years and I think he is willing to continue working here."
Shen Yu immediately jumped out and said, "This is not your shop, it's Ren Wanyue's shop. We are talking, don't make trouble."
After saying that, he looked at Li Wanyue again: "How about this, I don't ask for much, just give me 10% of the profit."
"Forget it then." Li Wanyue shook her head.
"Halfway, halfway is not much." Shen Yu took a step back.
"Okay, but since you want half of the profit, you can't just take it for free. You have to help me."
"What's up?"
"I asked someone to quickly make a plaque for me, calling it 'Zhiweizhai', and asked someone to help me clean the shop. I wrote a promotional sign on a wooden board and put it in front of the shop. I also asked someone to write 600 flyers and distribute them in the city.
Then have someone rush to make some packaging boxes, enough to hold ten or twenty pills. Four days later, on August 13, we’ll open the store and make some money during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Shen Yu asked: "Time is so tight, are you sure you can make it?"
"I have been preparing for it before, so I have enough time. I won't do too many things at the beginning, but will come up with something new every once in a while. I will focus on quality and come up with new things often, and then customers will come to me naturally."
“That makes sense.”
Xie Yan looked at her confident look with a smile in his eyes.
He said, "I have checked the original owner of this pastry shop. He has no problem with his character. He was hired by the Cao family. If you can't find someone else, you can continue to use him. The original pastry chef in the shop has signed a contract to sell himself. You can also buy him as well."
Li Wanyue nodded and said that this was possible.
Although she had selected several people from the village, the experienced masters did a better job.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xie Yan say, "It's time to settle the restaurant's accounts for this quarter. Do you want to pay for the farm and shop yourself, or let Baiweilou pay for it and then deduct it from the dividends?"
Li Wanyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Then deduct it from the dividends."
Of course, if you can, you should not touch the money you have already saved.
Shen Yu looked back and forth between the two of them. Why did he feel that the atmosphere between the two of them had become different?
What did he miss?
Li Wanyue was very familiar with the shops in the town. Xiangmanyuan, a dim sum shop that was once very popular in the town, belonged to the Qian family.
She didn't need to look any more and could directly buy the Xiangmanyuan for one hundred taels.
After settling the matters here, Li Wanyue and Zhao Suying were about to return to the village.
As soon as they walked out of the shop, they heard someone shouting, "Sister Yue."
Li Wanyue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qin Yuzhen getting off the carriage and walking over, followed by Qin Yunyi.
Both sides greeted each other.
Qin Yuzhen asked, "Aunt, Sister Yue, are you here for the shop?"
Li Wanyue nodded: "Yes, I plan to buy this shop."
"do what?"
"pastry."
"That's great. The food in your shop must be delicious."
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Thanks to you for introducing me to a milk merchant. This is an indispensable ingredient for making pastries."
"When it opens, I will definitely recommend your store to people I know."
"Okay, you can eat as much cakes as you want in the store from now on."
Qin Yuzhen asked quietly, "Sister Yue, why can't I see Brother Sandong? Brother Erhu has become the one delivering goods to the shop these days."
"Oh, Mr. Xie sent him to other places to help teach how to grow sweet potatoes."
"Going out of town? How long will it take for you to come back?"
"About two months."
"It's taken so long." Qin Yuzhen's eyes flashed with desolation.
Qin Yunyi coughed and said, "Don't talk about it on the street. It's getting late. If Wanyue and Auntie are not in a hurry to go home, why don't you go to the teahouse and sit for a while."
Li Wanyue shook her head: "We are just about to go back."
"I just happen to be going to Qingshi Town. Why don't I take you back?"
Xie Yan stepped forward and said, "Don't bother, Mr. Qin. I will send the people I brought out back safely."
Qin Yunyi looked at Xie Yan with an expression that he would not allow anyone to touch anything in his territory.
He looked at Li Wanyue, who was standing beside him with a smile on her face, and seemed to understand something.
He didn't know why their relationship suddenly became so close, but he thought that Li Wanyue treated Xie Yan differently.
As long as she is happy.
Qin Yun also smiled and said, "With Master Xie seeing us off, my sister and I feel relieved."
After that, they said goodbye and got into the carriage.
When they arrived at Daohua Village, Xie Yan got off the car first, turned around and raised his hand towards Li Wanyue.
Li Wanyue pursed her lips and smiled, put her hand on his palm and got out of the car.
Then the two of them helped Zhao Suying get out of the car.
Zhao Suying said: "I'll go knock on the door."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Li Wanyue glanced at the sun that was about to set over the mountain and said, "It's getting late, so I won't invite you in to sit down. You've been tired all day, so go back and rest."
"I would feel tired in the past, but today I don't feel tired at all. Instead, I feel full of energy. Should I go in and tell my uncle and aunt about our situation?"
"I'll tell them."
Xie Yan had no choice but to give up: "Okay, after I finish these things, I will prepare the betrothal gifts and find a matchmaker to propose marriage. You wait for me."
Li Wanyue nodded: "Then I will go back, you should go back soon too."
"Um."
Seeing Li Wanyue turned around, Xie Yan subconsciously called out, "Wanyue."
