Hearing this, Old Man Xu thought about it carefully for a long time and felt that his granddaughter was right.
If their shop wants to be big and open, and if they want to make more money, sooner or later they have to sell it to others. If you have the ability, it would be good to open a few branches yourself first.
Erlang has been greeting customers at the front of the shop since it opened. It has been almost two months now, and he is indeed able to take on a big role.
Buying a house is just a place to live, but buying a shop means you can live in it and make money at the same time. Of course, buying a shop is even better!
The future second granddaughter-in-law will also be able to do business. She will pave the way for Erlang to open a shop and do business. She will be very stable throughout her life.
This is indeed good.
But buying a shop is not much less expensive than buying a house. The one with a backyard may be more expensive than the first house. Isn’t the money for the second house still not enough?
Xu Yinyin said: "Grandpa, when you said that starting from this month, the money earned by the shop will be divided into four parts, I just want to say it. It is not appropriate to just divide the money. This money cannot be used to generate silver.
It’s better to divide the shops first.”
"Starting from this month, when the money earned by the general shop is enough for a family, they will buy a shop first. Starting from the uncle, everyone will share one shop, and everyone will share the shop. From now on, the money earned by the general shop will be divided equally every year.
Late."
When Old Man Xu heard this, he thought this was the truth, even though he had never thought about opening a branch before.
He couldn't help but look at his granddaughter twice. This granddaughter was really as smart as Rokuro!
People say that mother is a fool, but it seems that the third daughter-in-law is quite good. She was too lazy to marry her at that time. Fortunately, she did not give up. Otherwise, she would not have been able to give birth to such a smart grandson.
Granddaughter!
Therefore, this daughter-in-law must be married well. Only when she is well married can the family be well.
The daughter of the Luo family is a girl from the city. Whether it is knowledge or brains, she is definitely better than the girl from the country.
Gotta marry him back!
If someone wants to buy a house, they will buy a shop. I wonder if it will work?
Old man Xu turned around and asked shopkeeper Du, the matchmaker, to ask the question. The Luo family discussed it for a while and replied the next day, agreeing.
The house is for living, and the shop is also for living, and the shop can also do business!
There is no need to think about the branch of Xujia Sanitary Ware Store. Business will definitely be easy. Why isn’t this profitable store delivered to you better than Zhaizi?
When the money is earned, what kind of house can I buy?
The Luo family was not stupid either, so they naturally nodded in agreement.
The Luo family nodded, and the Xu family, Old Man Xu immediately held a small meeting to discuss Xu Yinyin's proposal with his sons.
"The total amount of silver on the books now is eighty-one taels, and there are still a few days until the end of the month. Calculated at ninety-two taels, by then you will only have twenty-two taels of silver per room, which is not even enough to buy a shop.
But if we don't divide it, with this little money and a little more, we can buy a shop similar to the one we have now.
As Si Ya said, it is better to divide the money than to divide the shops. We who live in one room should allocate the shop first. When the time comes, the shop will belong to each of you. You can take the goods back from the main shop at the purchase price and sell them when the time comes.
If you sell more and sell less, that will be the income of each of your houses. In this way, the living standards of each of your houses will rise faster."
The stronger the rope is, the stronger it will be when you twist it in one place.
If you scatter the money and put it into your own hands, you may not be able to buy a shop even if you collect it for several months. It doesn't matter how much money you have. It is naturally faster to pool the money together and buy a shop.
Naturally, everyone nodded in agreement with this proposal.
Mr. Ma also thought that he would be rich by sharing the money, but he never thought that he could open a shop. The money earned by opening a shop would not be much higher. And no matter how much he earned, it would belong to his own house.
Therefore, when Old Man Xu suggested to her that the second bedroom should be allocated the shop first, she agreed without much hesitation and the second bedroom should be allocated first.
After discussing it, old man Xu gathered his money together and added the money he had saved when he was fleeing the famine. Thinking that it should be possible, he went out to find Wu Yuanwai while it was still early.
When I bought this shop before, I got to know Wu Yuanwai. Wu Yuanwai is a straightforward and easy-to-talk person. If you need to buy any property in the future, you can go to him at any time.
Old man Xu didn't know anyone else, so it would be better to go directly to Wu Yuanwai when looking for a dental shop.
Less than a month later, Wu Yuan saw that Old Man Xu came to his door and wanted to buy a shop. He kept his word and asked Old Man Xu which shop he wanted to buy and how big it was.
Old Man Xu said: "It can be anywhere from the south of the city to the north or from Jiangyang County. The main thing is to have a backyard. It should be about the same size as Yangliu Lane."
The Luo family also said that you can buy a shop, no matter where it is, as long as it is in Yiyang Fucheng.
After hearing this, Wu Yuanwai pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have a shop on Ranfang Street in the north of the city, and the lease is up at the end of the year. It just so happens that the other party doesn't want to rent it anymore. Do you think this is the right place?"
Dyefang Street in the north of the city?
Having been in Fucheng for two months, Old Man Xu is very familiar with the east side of the city, and he is almost familiar with the south side of the city. He is not so familiar with the north side of the city. He has only heard that the most lively and prosperous street in the north of the city is Zouma Street. Where is this Dying House Street?
What? Is business easy to do?
"Dianfang Street is not as prosperous as Yangliu Lane, but relatively speaking, the rent is much cheaper."
Seeing his hesitation, Wu Yuanwai couldn't help but smile cheerfully and said: "The lease of the shop on the left is still several days away, so I'm not in a hurry. What do you think? Why don't you, shopkeeper Xu, take the time to go to Ranfang Street to have a look before making a decision?"
Old Man Xu listened and thought it would work. He came here just to ask questions, but he didn't expect to be able to buy it right away, so he didn't bring any money with him.
Let’s wait until we go to Ranfang Street one day to see it.
Old Man Xu nodded in agreement.
The business of looking at the shop is not urgent. The burning of the bottom of the Xu family's new three-bedroom residence is at the front of the queue, which is more important.
Old man Xu was even happier about this than when he bought the shop before.
Buying a house means taking root in this city, which is very different from the meaning of a shop.
It was dark for eighteen days, leaving Xu Erlang alone to guard the shop, while the rest of the Xu family went to Qingyunfang.
Today we are going to cook in this new house and invite people to dinner, so we naturally have to go there early to prepare.
At an auspicious moment, a firecracker was set off, and everyone in the group, led by Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan, had their hands empty, including those carrying rice, those carrying oil, those holding pots, those holding brooms and dustpans... they filed in.
The one who entered entered the house.
The kitchen is in the outer east courtyard, separated from the inner courtyard by a small door, making it easy to enter and exit.
There is no ancestral tablet here, so there is no ritual of offering incense to honor the ancestors. Old man Xu, Xu Chunshan and Xu Dajun burned a handful of paper in front of the main house and kowtowed to the heaven and earth to tell their ancestors that the old Xu family
Descendants, I bought a house in Yiyang City!
Zhang Xiulan, Mrs. Xu and the others went straight to the kitchen, lit a fire, burned a new pot with oil, opened the pot, and started cooking.
Use this pot to cook a large pot of glutinous rice balls for breakfast.
The first meal at the bottom of the pot is to eat glutinous rice balls, which means reunion and good luck.
After breakfast, the women began to busy themselves with the lunch meal.
Today, everyone from the Fang family, the Zhang family, and the Zhou family are coming. I heard that there are also Liulang’s classmates, plus my own family, at least four or five tables have to be prepared. This is not something that can be done in a short time.
You have to start preparations early.
Xu Chunhe took Xu Dalang to the city gate to meet the Zhou and Zhang families who were coming into the city.
