Li Lanzhen looked at the room full of her children and grandchildren.
I still feel very happy and blessed.
Because they all want to create a better tomorrow for themselves with their own hands.
He didn't say he wanted to rely on his mother to freeload.
Most importantly, the children are all kind-hearted; they have a good life themselves and think about the common people.
"Okay, I've heard everything you've said. Now I'll summarize."
Our family mainly focuses on growing grains and developing animal husbandry; we will continue down this path forever.
Han Minghai, you are the eldest son, you must remember this!
No matter how the brothers and grandchildren develop or where they go.
You must hold fast to Peach Blossom Spring and continue to cultivate grains and develop animal husbandry.
Han Minghai quickly stood up and nodded solemnly.
"Mother, don't worry, your son understands!"
Li Lanzhen nodded, gesturing for him to sit down.
"Besides this, everyone has their own favorite aspect, so let's work towards that."
When the time is right, whether it's opening a shop or setting up a small stall, there will be opportunities.
In addition, I want to open a grain shop.
This grain shop sells grains grown in Peach Blossom Spring.
In addition, we will open a general store, which will sell vegetables produced in Peach Blossom Spring, dried goods from the mountains, fish from the reed marshes, and wild duck eggs.
These two shops will be open by autumn. I think I'll start looking in Youzhou City.
Han Minghai, during this time, you should go to Youzhou City and take a look around to see if you can take over a few shops.
These two shops can be next to each other or separate, but it's best if the shop is in the front and has a courtyard in the back.
Go and take a look around yourself, and ask your master more questions.
Of course, if you happen to be able to buy more, then buy more.
Han Minghai nodded, "Okay, Mother, I'll go in the next couple of days."
Mother, if there's a suitable house, I'd like to buy one too.
My third brother still has to take the imperial examination, and these children also have to take the exam every year.
It's not good to keep bothering Sifang Restaurant.
"With our own house, they can live there, which will be more convenient."
Li Lanzhen waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's do it your way."
There are two more things I'd like to discuss with everyone.
One reason is that I want to open a furniture workshop.
"Let's hand this workshop over to your maternal grandfather's family to run."
Han Mingjiang looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Mom, doesn't Grandpa just run a carpentry workshop now?"
Han Mingxiang smiled and explained, "The woodworking workshop that Mother mentioned is a different concept from the woodworking shop here."
Although both are woodworking jobs involving making furniture, the woodworking shop belongs to a secluded paradise, where my maternal grandfather's family earns money based on work points.
However, if a woodworking workshop is established, it will belong to my grandfather's family.
Is this the kind of mother I am?
"You're absolutely right."
The vermicelli factory has now been separated from Peach Blossom Spring and is now operated solely by our family.
I was also thinking of separating the woodworking shop and handing that business over to your grandfather and the others.
Whether they make a lot of money or lose money in the future, it has nothing to do with you.
Do you have any opinions?
"No."
The children and grandchildren all said it in unison.
Li Lanzhen nodded with satisfaction.
She believed that once the woodworking workshop was open, money would flow in like water.
Because just the modern furniture designs we provided would definitely make us money.
Even if the first batch of furniture hits the market, some clever carpenters will learn how to make it, but that's not a problem.
She wanted to tell her children and grandchildren about the implications and see their reaction.
Don't get envious when you see the woodworking shop making money in the future, or cause trouble.
"There's one more thing. Mother has a very unique dish that the Li Dynasty has never had before, called 'hot pot'."
We originally planned to make it at home, but then we realized that trying to do too much at once would be counterproductive.
I was thinking of handing this over to Manager Hua to manage.
Their restaurants happen to be located all over the Le Dynasty, what do you think?
At this moment, no one immediately agreed; they all whispered among themselves.
Han Minghai said first, "Mother, as you said, this is the only one of its kind in our Li Dynasty."
How do we calculate the cost with Sifang Restaurant?
Is it a one-time buyout or a revenue-sharing arrangement?
Looking at the composed and eloquent Han Minghai, Li Lanzhen felt that sending him out this time was absolutely the right thing to do!
People don't grow up without experiencing life's ups and downs!
Look, now everyone knows about "one-time buyout" and "profit sharing," right?
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "What do you think is appropriate?"
Han Mingjiang eagerly offered his opinion.
"Although we have a deep friendship with Sifang Restaurant and Manager Hua, even close brothers should keep clear accounts."
Of course, in this matter, we must first ensure the interests of our own family.
Hmm, not bad, that firecracker-wielding second brother from Hanjiacun has actually started to think things through!
"Alright, you all tell me what you think and discuss it. Just like the second brother said, we'll do whatever is in the best interest of our family. I'll listen to you."
Li Lanzhen passed the buck back to them, believing they would come up with a reasonable solution.
Sure enough, after a flurry of chatter and whispers, everyone, young and old, stared intently at Han Minghai, urging him to speak.
Han Minghai coughed, glanced at everyone, and then spoke to Li Lanzhen.
"Mom, we've already discussed it and decided that a profit-sharing arrangement is best. The technology is yours, while the venue, sales, and production will all be handled by Sifang Restaurant."
"So, what percentage do you think we should get if we split the profits?"
"Well, Mother, we don't agree," Han Minghai said nervously.
"I think a 40/60 split is better. We get 40%, and Sifang Restaurant gets 60%."
Han Mingjiang disagreed, "That's too low, Mother. I think it should be split 50/50. Without your recipe, Mother, where would hot pot come from?"
Although we've never eaten this hot pot before, I know it must be delicious.
Xue Nizi quickly came out to support her husband, "Mother, I think my husband is right, we should split the profits 50/50."
Actually, the recipe for the food is the most important thing.
Li Lanzhen looked at Han Mingxiang, who had been sitting silently, and asked, "Third brother, what are you thinking?"
Han Mingxiang smiled and said, "I think a 30/70 split is fairer."
"What? A 30/70 split? Third brother, why are you siding with outsiders?" Xue Ni immediately objected and shouted.
Li Lanzhen glared at her, and she immediately shrank back and sat down without saying a word.
Han Mingxiang smiled and said, "The recipe for hot pot is certainly important, but the key is the process of making a dish that can attract customers in terms of color, aroma, and taste, and then selling it."
We only provided the prescription and didn't concern ourselves with anything else, so I think taking 30% should be pretty good, especially 30% of the net profit.
After listening to Han Mingxiang's words, everyone felt that there was some truth to them, but they also felt that their own family was not good enough, so they all sat there with their cheeks puffed out and didn't say a word.
Li Lanzhen smiled as she looked at them.
"I also agree with the third brother's point of view; a 30/70 split is relatively fair."
Think about it, Sifang Restaurant is located in all the prefectures and counties of our Li Dynasty. In the capital alone, there are two Sifang Restaurant.
Moreover, Han Minghai said that business is booming.
What does this show? It shows that they are not afraid of sales volume.
You'll earn money for every pot of hot pot you sell.
Even so, they still have to deal with issues such as selecting ingredients, cooking, and selling.
But we only submitted a prescription and that was it.
"Don't you agree with this?"
Li Lanzhen explained it to them in detail, and everyone thought it made sense.
Han Minghai spoke first, "Mother, you're right, a 30/70 split is fairer."
