General's Farmer's Wife

Xue Shan's family went back to the village after spending the Mid-Autumn Festival in the General's Mansion. Apart from their family, Xue Chen and Lin Ming went with them.Lin Ming had been in the town for a while, and he seldom went back to the village to see him. This time, he went back after Xue Shan, and they followed him.

Not long after Xue Shan returned, a guest came to the General's Mansion——Zhang Linyu.The bandits outside the town have been wiped out by Xue Feng and the others, and Zhang Linyu is also preparing to go to Taoyuan Town to open a branch.The day before he left, Zhang Linyu came to the General's Mansion to see Xu Lian.

The two chatted together for a long time before Zhang Linyu said goodbye and went back.

Xu Lian looked at Zhang Linyu who had left, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although he was slow, he also knew some of Zhang Linyu's feelings for him after all this, but unfortunately he could not respond to him.I hope he can meet the one who really belongs to him soon.

After dealing with these matters, Xu Lian also began to think about making money in the mansion. It is impossible for them to just eat a little of Xue Feng's monthly salary. Maybe they can open some stores in the town, but not in Xue Feng's name, Chen'er He is a brother, and he will marry after all. If it is in his name, if he marries Lin Ming in the future, that kid Lin Ming will have to be told that he has something. To set up some shops in the name of the outside world.

As for those shops, basic necessities of life, housing and transportation, Xu Lian thought for a while, the current Xiangmanlou mainly attracts people with dishes, that is, restaurants, so in terms of catering business, he can develop into teahouses or dim sum shops alone.For a clothing store, I have no source, and I have no talent in clothing design, so it is not easy to operate.In terms of accommodation, you can open some inns in the town. Those who only care about accommodation can open in your own teahouse or near Xiangmanlou. This is mutually beneficial. If not, you can stay upstairs and eat downstairs. Hotel development.In terms of business, car dealers or bodyguard agencies are fine, you can ask Xue Feng about this and see what he has to say.For other stores ------

Xu Lian took a notebook to write and draw, thinking about the future development direction.

Xue Feng, who came back from the barracks, didn't see Xu Lian in his room, and felt strange, but was informed by the servant at home that Xu Lian was in the study and asked him to come over after he came back.

As soon as Xue Feng heard it, he knew that Xu Lian had something to discuss with him, so he went to the study immediately without delay.

Seeing Xue Feng coming, Xu Lian smiled at him.Xue Feng was flickered by Xu Lian's smile, walked up to him, hugged him into his arms and asked, "What are you thinking about?" Knowing what he wrote, there was no way for Xu Lian to write in simplified characters to save effort.

"Uh!" Xu Lian looked at Xue Feng who couldn't understand for a long time, and suddenly realized that he couldn't understand simplified Chinese characters. He touched his nose uncomfortably, picked up his draft and told Xue Feng that he was opening a shop outside. idea.

"Well, you really need to think about the issue of experiencing stores outside. As far as I know, in Shangjing, many high-ranking official families will run some stores outside. Some of these stores are owned by their families, and some are Those were brought as dowry when they got married." Xue Feng thought for a while and said.

Hearing what Xue Feng said, Xu Lian also understood, then his idea of ​​those stores might be feasible, so he took the book that only he could understand and discussed with Xue Feng what kind of store to open. He said: "If you want to design the four aspects of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, I will send people to Shangjing every year. There are some good horses there, and some of my subordinates will look at the horses. This is feasible." , and many of the people I brought brought their family members, and they can invite their family members to run the horse shop together. If we live here, although ours is a small town, it is located in the north-south direction of our country. Some people will pass through our town, so opening an inn is also a good choice, but I personally prefer to eat and live together, without having to separate them. Many people will feel tired when they come to the inn, so eating and resting directly is their usual choice. Eat and I don't know what to wear, it's up to you to think about it yourself."

After hearing what Xue Feng said, Xu Lian bit his pen and thought about the feasibility of these shops or other better shops to choose from, and suddenly thought that those pawnshops he had seen on TV before didn't seem to be seen here.This is also a good business opportunity, so he raised his head and said, "By the way, can we open a pawn shop!"

"Pawn shop? What is that?" Xue Feng asked strangely.

"A pawn shop is a shop for pawning things. If I am short of money today and have no money, then I will take something at home to the pawn shop, and the pawn shop will give me a certain amount of money based on the price of such things. Put that thing in the pawn shop, and when I have money, I can redeem it with the money." Xu Lian explained.

"Oh, there really doesn't seem to be such a shop here, you can try it." Xue Feng thought for a while and said.

"Well, when Chen'er and the others come back, I'll discuss it with them. Although they are young, they have business acumen." Xu Lian said proudly, thinking about the problem Xue Chen mentioned a few days ago.

"Okay. You can do it yourself. If you don't have enough money, come and talk to me." Xue Feng said thoughtfully.

"Enenen!" Xu Lian replied, then lowered his head to think about the feasibility of opening a pawnshop and the issues he hadn't considered just now.

Xu Lian bit his pen and thought for a short while before being interrupted by Xue Feng. The reason was that it was time to eat and he should take a break to eat.So Xu Lian was packed by Xue Feng to eat, and Xu Lian, who was half-interrupted, bit Xue Feng who was holding him to vent his anger with dissatisfaction.

Xue Feng looked at Xu Lian who wanted him, and was not angry, he said something directly in his ear, successfully made him let go of himself, and angrily turned his head away from looking at him.

"Okay, I was wrong. Now it's meal time, but you said that people are iron, and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, not to mention that you still have one in your stomach, let alone be hungry. Let's have a meal first and come back to think about it, shall we?" Although Xue Feng found Xu Lian's angry look cute, he still couldn't bear him to be angry, so he coaxed him softly.

Of course Xu Lian knew that he was doing it for his own good, but he still couldn't help but want to get angry.I sigh in my heart that I am becoming more and more childish and feminine now.

Two days later, Xue Chen and Lin Ming came back from the village. After letting them rest, Xu Lian asked them to go to the study and asked Xue Chen if he had an answer to the question he thought of last time.

Xue Chen thought for a while and said: "Ah, as for the servants at home, I think it is enough to keep some necessary ones. If we need others, we can find some part-time workers to come to the house to help. Opening a shop outside, because Dad It’s the court officials who can’t do business, but we can go outside to find a shop in your name, so we can solve it.”

Xu Lian nodded and said approvingly: "Chen'er has really grown up, these are very good ideas. However, the number of people in the mansion may not be reduced. The general's mansion has the specifications of the general's mansion, and there are a certain number of people serving in it. Quantity requirements, we can't be less, no matter if it is too many or too small, your father may be stabbed in the back by some villains. As for the opening of the store, I discussed with your father, it is feasible, but what kind of store to open , You two think about it carefully."

Although Xu Lian had thought about opening a store, he still wanted Xue Chen to come up with his own plan.

"Isn't it okay to open a store like Xiangmanlou? Uncle Zhang and you are doing very well, and now Uncle Zhang has opened the store to other places. Doesn't it mean that such a store is very profitable? Our family also Let’s open a store like this.” Xue Chen thought about it.

"However, there is already a Xiangmanlou. If we open another one, do you think we can make money?" Xu Lian said.

"Well, I don't know." Xue Chen replied honestly.

"Lin Ming, you have been in Xiangmanlou for a while, do you think our family can make money if we open a Xiangmanlou?" Xu Lian turned to look at Lin Ming and asked.

Lin Ming thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's possible. First of all, you are one of the shareholders of Xiangmanlou. Less, opening a new store similar to Xiangmanlou, aren’t you fighting for money with yourself? In addition, another shareholder of Xiangmanlou is Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang and Ah Mo are friends, and colleagues are enemies. It's not a good thing for you." Lin Ming thought about his thoughts carefully.

Xu Lian nodded and said: "Since opening such a store is not feasible, you go back and think about what kind of store you should open, which one is more beneficial, and what advantages does it have for us to open such a store, you two go back and think about it. , and then write down your thoughts and hand them over to me the day after tomorrow, is that okay?"

Xue Chen and Lin Ming thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

After talking about this, Xu Lianyou asked Lin Ming about some things in his family, and let them go out.

Xue Feng happened to hear the conversation between Xu Lian and Xue Chen, and after the two little ones left, he walked in and said helplessly to Xu Lian: "You really know how to make trouble, since you have already thought of making them both think, you Why are you still thinking about it these two days?"

"I have thought about it myself, and I know which kind of store is good. At that time, I can guide the two small ones. At that time, let them manage the store they want, and then I will find someone I trust to open the store I want. No way!" Xu Lian immediately retorted when he heard what Xue Feng said.He did this to better train the two little ones, you know?Thinking of this, Xu Lian gave the man in front of him another hard look.

Xue Feng looked at Xu Lian's seemingly fierce eyes, smiled, and without arguing with him, he gave him the snacks he bought on the street just now. Recently, Xu Lian started to suffer from morning sickness, especially in the morning. The appetite in the past two days has also been reduced a lot, so Xue Feng often brings some small things from outside for him to eat, to see which one suits his taste.

Xu Lian took the new snacks that Xue Feng had just bought, and ate them so happily that he completely forgot to think about whether to send some to Xue Chen.
