However, in business, since the young lady had come to her door and wanted to borrow a lot of money, she naturally wanted to seek her own benefit.
"Jiaoniang, how much silver do you want to borrow? If it's more than a thousand taels, then I can do it, but I have an idea that you need to hear."
Since the Qiao family had come to borrow money, they naturally wanted to also take care of the restaurant in Jianzhou Prefecture.
She received a letter from the manager saying that it had also collapsed, but she hadn't gone to check on the situation yet.
Since she was going back to Jinling anyway and would be passing through there anyway, she decided to take the opportunity to visit.
So, after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fifteen hundred taels, is that alright?"
"Don't worry, I'll borrow from you for a year. This year, I'll repay you 1700 taels, principal and interest."
Borrowing 1,500 taels with 200 taels of interest is more than 10% of the total.
Wang Yunjuan shook her head, "I can give you 1,500 taels of silver, and I won't charge interest."
But I want 20% of the profits from all the restaurants in Jianzhou Prefecture.
"If you agree, I can give you the silver immediately."
Wang Yunjuan originally wanted the profits from the soap business, but then she remembered that Chi Yu had directly rejected the Zheng family's involvement.
Then it would be even more impossible for her to join the Zhong family.
Since soap won't work, a restaurant will do.
Tongfu Restaurant already had excellent dishes, and with the addition of various new dishes provided by Chi Yu, she thought the business would reach new heights.
Of course, she wasn't greedy enough to ask for 20% of all the profits from Tongfu Restaurant.
All we need is from Jianzhou Prefecture.
There's no reconstruction here yet, let alone any profit, so I imagine Jiao Niang would agree.
Although it seems a bit foolish of her to spend so much money, she won't be able to recoup her investment within a year or two.
However, from a long-term perspective, recouping the investment is only a matter of time.
And she doesn't have to worry about anything; the money just keeps coming in.
She wanted to give this as Xiaofeng's dowry.
Even if Xiaofeng's husband's family is not good and her dowry is all spent, as long as she has this bonus, she will not have to worry about her future life.
It must be said that Wang Yunjuan knew the Qiao family quite well.
She wouldn't agree to give up soap or any of the bonuses from Tongfu Restaurant.
However, after weighing the options for Jianzhou Prefecture for a while, she still agreed.
"Alright! Let's write the paperwork now and finalize this."
However, Sister Juan, since you have a share in both of my restaurants.
"When I'm not here, will you have to keep an eye on things for me when you have some free time?"
Wang Yunjuan nodded: "Okay! Put Xiaofeng's name directly on the document, and I'll personally take care of her later!"
Hearing this, Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Feng is so lucky to have a mother like you!"
Wang Yunjuan replied dismissively, "So what? My mother treated me the same way back then."
Besides, has my aunt ever treated you badly, Jiao Niang?
She chose her own husband, and her mother followed her lead, even teaching her many things step by step.
As for Jiao Niang's husband, although he was chosen by her family, they still gave him a lot of support for his future.
They've practically staked the entire Qiao family's future on this; how could it not be good?

While Qiao and Wang Yunjuan were signing the documents, in Qijia Village outside the city to the east, Qi Mingyu lay on the threshing ground in a small shack, his body burning with fever and his limbs weak.
He never dreamed that he, who looked thin but was very healthy, would fall ill without any warning.
At first, he was just dizzy, which he thought was because he was angry to learn that Chi Yu was already engaged.
