After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

"Ah! It's the one selling braised meat! I know that! We have been saying for a long time that this braised meat stall will be turned into a store sooner or later!"

The young man spoke very sincerely. Although Lin Xiaoniu didn't know whether he was telling the truth or not, it was fun to listen to him!

The three of them visited five shops in the south of the county town one after another. In addition to the three shops with good locations introduced earlier, there were two shops with average locations. In fact, they were in small alleys near the main street. They could not be said to be remote, but they had less traffic.

After looking at these shops, Lin Xiaoniu did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he told the clerk at the dental shop that he would go home to discuss it and would go to the dental shop to give a reply tomorrow morning.

The clerk in the dental shop naturally agreed happily. In his opinion, this customer was sincere about renting a shop. Even if he didn't like these shops, he would just continue to look for one. He was sure to make the money anyway!

Lin Xiaoniu did not go to find Lin Erniu immediately, but chose to go to his own stall. Seeing that his nephew Gouwei was still talking about the products with customers, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, I think it's a good idea for Gouwei to run a shop. It's better than staying at home, right? Even if it's in the county town, I can see the world." Lin Xiaoniu said as he poked Lin Daniu with his elbow.

"Well, I'll have to trouble you in the future. What I'm most worried about is this child. He's an honest boy." Lin Daniu is now very satisfied with his eldest son, and even looks at Guangdan with more favor.

Since it was the last day of the Lantern Festival, there were fewer and fewer people in the evening, and most of them were people leaving the city.

Seeing that the stalls next to him were starting to pack up, Lin Xiaoniu simply said, "Let's pack up and go back. There's not much business anymore!"

When they returned to Lijia Village, they found that Lin Erniu and his wife had also returned. Lin Daniu settled Niu Niu down, and then followed Lin Xiaoniu to the kitchen.

At this time, Lin Erniu and his wife were preparing food for tomorrow's stall in the kitchen. As it was after the holidays, they expected that not many people would buy braised food, so they did not prepare much.

Maybe business has been good these days, so although the couple looked tired, they were smiling.

"Brother, what's going on?" Seeing Lin Daniu coming over, Lin Erniu suddenly asked nervously.

Renting a shop is a very important matter in Lin Erniu's mind. After all, it is related to the future braised meat business.

Lin Xiaoniu took a small stool and sat down beside the stove, then described in detail the situations of the five shops he had visited today.

At this time, Goudan, Goumao and Erya were also craning their necks to listen. For a while, the kitchen was silent except for the sound of firewood under the stove.

"I don't want to be too far from West Street. We have some regular customers who come here to buy braised meat and pickles. If it's too far, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for them. Besides, it doesn't matter if the shop is small."

At this point, Lin Erniu glanced at Gouwei and continued, "If Gouwei stays in the county, we will set up a bed for him in the shop. He can stay in the shop at night, and Alian and I will go back to Lijia Village sooner or later."

After hearing what his second brother said, Lin Xiaoniu also nodded.

"Then let's go to the shop on West Street. It's a bit expensive, but think about it, second brother, you should be able to make more money than you do now, right?" After all, Lin Xiaoniu didn't know much about the braised meat business, so he asked uncertainly.

"Of course. At present, I think I can afford to rent a shop at this price, but I am afraid that in the future..."

Lin Erniu paused here. Before Lin Daniu could ask a question, Cao Lian next to him took the initiative to speak.

"After the Chinese New Year, several more braised food stalls have opened on West Street. Although the taste is not as good as ours now, we can't say for sure what will happen in the future. This is what we are worried about."

Guangdan finally understood the couple's concerns and grinned, "It's nothing. Not to mention that the ratio of this ingredient is not so easy to figure out. Even if someone really figures it out, we still have other ways out."

Guangdan's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Ahem, why are you looking at me like that? We can just make our own braised duck. If that doesn't work, we can just roast it. If Second Uncle and Second Aunt are worried about this, then just put your mind at ease."

Guangdan's words seemed to give Lin Erniu and his wife courage. After a moment's silence, Lin Erniu looked straight at Lin Xiaoniu.

"I'll go with you to check out that shop tomorrow morning. If it's okay, we'll go with the one on West Street." Lin Erniu said gritting his teeth.

"It's okay. I'll take care of this matter for you, uncle and aunt. If the braised food business really encounters a major crisis one day, I will definitely come up with a new plan! Let's just rent that one-liang shop!"

As Guangdan said this, he felt that it was time to start the second sister's duck farming business! ! There was no time to lose.

At this time, Lin Daniu spoke up: "Now that the shop has been chosen, let's talk about the rest. That shop looks like it has been cleaned up, but since you sell food, do we have to clean it up again?"

"Of course!" Cao Lian responded quickly.

"That's fine. After we decide on the shop tomorrow, we'll see what else we need to buy. It would be best if we can get everything ready tomorrow so you can move in earlier."

Although the topic of renting a shop ended here, Erya, Gumao and others were still huddled together and chattering non-stop.

After all, this is a big deal in Linjia Village. Although there are some people from Linjia Village who come to the county town to work, the Lin family is the first to open a shop in the county town!

Let’s not talk about whether the shop is big or small, it is at least a shop.

Besides, the shop on West Street is not small. Thinking of this, both adults and children couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Guangdan, let's go and settle the accounts on my side. The things should be almost sold. Once the accounts are ready, I'll ask your uncle to come over and divide the money!" Lin Xiaoniu talked about his own affairs, smiling happily at everyone.

This time, the principal invested was one hundred taels, and the principal had been earned back before the New Year. The rest is pure profit. According to Guangdan's thinking at home during the New Year holidays, this time he can basically earn twenty-five hundred taels from the Lin family, which means basically half of the principal.

By this calculation, my uncle and Uncle Hammer's family would have to spend at least ten hundred dollars. Although it doesn't seem like a lot, but I guess that after deducting expenses, my uncle's family would only have about ten hundred dollars left in a year, which is already considered a wealthy family.

As for Uncle Hammer, well, his family situation and his purpose this time are not very clear for now, but at least he will definitely not lose out this time.
