Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm

The business of the tea house and bookstore soon stabilized, and Li Ruyi gave two lectures within a month. The first time he went on stage, he stuttered and said the wrong thing because he was nervous.

Mao Xiaosui didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he cut the customer's money in half.

The story is still a good one, but the telling is a little dry. Fortunately, the story is novel and the guests can figure it out on their own.

Li Ruyi is not reserved. After getting used to it for a while, she lets go. She is more excited than the storyteller when she talks. Sometimes she even slaps the table, which scares the guests and always makes them smarter.

Li Ankang sometimes comes over to listen. He doesn't take up a seat, just leans against the wall and grabs a handful of melon seeds to eat.

Time flashed to December, and for some reason the town suddenly became lively, with many outsiders arriving.

There are now a total of two inns in the town. Because there was no business in the town in the past, the inns were also very small. There were not many people coming at the beginning. After the new year, when the weather gets warm, you can see carriages entering the town every day.

The town is so big, you can walk to the end in a while. Compared with restaurants and some shops in the town, these customers enter the bookstore and teahouse the most.

Mao Xiaosui thought it was an accident at first, until one day she heard them talking about Newspaper in a teahouse.

It turned out that the words spoken in the teahouse were written down and sold. I don’t know how it spread, but it actually attracted many people in the county.

This is a good thing for a sleepy and backward town.

But such a good thing would not be attracted to a teahouse and bookstore for long, so some flexible businessmen from other places brought their idea to the town.

Build a theater, open an embroidery shop...

Mao Xiaosui had other things on his mind when he had nothing to do.

The prosperity of a town is inseparable from eating, drinking and having fun. Mao Xiaosui did not intend to get involved in this and had repeatedly considered opening a bathhouse.

The bathhouse needed a lot of space, and the town obviously couldn't use it anymore. When Mao Xiaosui was thinking about where to get it, Li Yunshan took out the stack of land deeds.

Mao Xiaosui has long been accustomed to it. Li Yunshan is addicted to buying land. Over the years, he has bought hundreds of acres one after another. The tax alone can support a village in a year.

He only had this hobby, so Mao Xiaosui didn't care. He picked up the land deed and flipped through it casually and asked, "Why do you give me this?"

Li Yunshan: "I left the town and walked toward the county for a quarter of an hour. I bought that piece of wasteland. You can see if it can be used."

Mao Xiaosui thought about it carefully, "That place is not far from the river, with a mountain at its back?"

Li Yunshan nodded, "See if it works."

Of course it can be used, but I don’t know if there is enough space. If the bathhouse is built outside, then naturally it cannot just be a bathhouse, but also some places for guests to play. If it is just a bath, no one should be able to do it. Make a special trip.

She looked down at the land deed. There were only five acres on the land deed. She asked, "Is it only five acres?"

Li Yunshan shook his head: "It's about ten acres in total. Part of it is forest and it's troublesome to repair it. I only bought five acres. The old doctor said he wanted to grow medicine, so I bought it because I thought it would be good."

"Grow medicine..." Mao Xiaosui said that's fine. Some medicines are really expensive to buy.

She made a rough calculation and found out that just the land preparation and construction would cost a lot of money, and the charcoal fire, man, and other things in the back... It was indeed an astonishing and huge sum of money.

She shook her head, "Forget it, there's no need."

Li Yunshan didn't ask any questions and took the land deed again. He said, "Let's hire someone to grow the medicinal materials, and rent out other places as usual."

Mao Xiaosui responded with "Yeah, yeah, yeah" and continued drawing.

Li Yunshan was puzzled, "Aren't you going to stop doing it?"

Mao Xiaosui: "It's troublesome to build this thing. Only our family has invested too much and we don't have the energy to take care of it. I asked Chen Fei if he has any ideas. We can just buy shares and share the money."

Li Yunshan laughed softly, "Chen Fei feels that we have tricked him again."

"He is just a profiteer and is always thinking of plotting against us." He added, "His business in the county has been getting better and better in the past few years. I am afraid he will be among the top 50 wealthy businessmen in the county."

Li Yunshan: "Only fifty?"

Mao Xiaosui: "You still look down on the top fifty. The Chen family was not even ranked in the county before. Otherwise, why would they have moved the family to the county last year? The development of our county in the past few years has been rapid. , there are many wealthy businessmen from other places. Being in the top fifty is already very impressive."

Li Yunshan asked again, "Can we be among the top 50 in the county?"

"If you think too much, you may not even be able to get involved." Mao Xiaosui was a little funny. They made a lot of money, but after all, they started from scratch and had too few fixed assets. And any small shop in the county costs thousands of taels, and the business People are not stupid. Most of the assets of the wealthy businessmen in the county are passed down from their ancestors. Even if the Chen family's business was not particularly good before, they have been in business for two or three generations. Whether it's the shop or the land, nothing can be compared to them.

Li Yunshan just asked casually, and the current life was good enough for them.

The letter was sent by the waiter in the tavern, and Chen Fei came that night.

The barbecue restaurant business closed for half an hour late due to the arrival of outsiders.

Chen Fei sent a message to invite them.

There were so many people in the store that they could keep busy, so Mao Xiaosui and Li Yunshan went to the restaurant.

There are private rooms in the restaurant. When the shopkeeper saw them coming, he smiled and said, "The one on the far right upstairs."

Mao Xiaosui nodded and went upstairs with Li Yunshan.

In the private room, Chen Fei had already ordered the food and was drinking glasses of wine.

Mao Xiaosui looked at his face and asked, "Anything happy?"

Chen Fei laughed and said, "It's a happy event." Then he said, "I've taken over the Chen family."

Mao Xiaosui laughed and suddenly asked, "Is Lu Xiaofang at your house?"

Chen Fei naturally knew their details, but he obviously had no interest in Lu Xiaofang, but he still asked, "I remember you are just Lincun, right? Why did you ask about her?"

Mao Xiaosui shrugged, "Just a casual question, but congratulations anyway."

Chen Fei picked up his wine glass and touched it with Li Yunshan, saying, "It's all thanks to you that I am where I am today."

Mao Xiaosui said a few polite words to him and then got back to business, "What do you think about the matter mentioned in the letter?"

"What are the details?" Chen Fei asked.

Li Yunshan glanced at Mao Xiaosui, and when he saw her nodding, he took out a stack of drawings from his arms.

There are bits and pieces of drawings, including bathing pools and steam rooms...

Chen Fei was confused, and when he turned to the estimated number on the last page, he was shocked, "So much."

Mao Xiaosui said confidently, "Otherwise, why would we ask you for such a small amount?"

Chen Fei sighed when he heard this, "Then what do you mean by buying shares in your letter?"

Mao Xiaosui: "We each need half of the money needed in the early stage, and you will take care of the rest. The profit will be 40-60%, four for us, and six for you."

"It's not fair." Chen Fei said, "You only paid for the money and you divided it into four. This is..."

Mao Xiaosui interrupted him and said with a smile, "The idea is mine. I use my brain and you contribute. Isn't this fair?"

Fade Chen was helpless and nodded, "I understand, please send me the detailed drawings."

Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Where do you plan to build it?"

Chen Fei frowned, "What's the difference?"

"Of course. If it's built in a county, we have less to prepare. If it's built in a remote and uninhabited place, we have to put more thought into attracting customers." She pointed at the account on the table, " By then this little money will not be enough, and this account is just a rough calculation based on my expenses in the county, which may not be accurate."

He added, "Of course, there are pros and cons both in the county and outside. You can figure this out yourself. As for the required materials, I have written them above. You have to compare the price and quality. You can't be careless about the materials, at least they can't appear." Question, I hope you will keep an eye on it personally to prevent any accidents."

Chen Fei squinted his eyes and figured it out with just a moment of thought. He nodded, "I understand. I will give you news when the time comes."

After they finished talking about the business, they started talking about business matters in the county.
