"Didn't Big Brother and the others pay for that money themselves?"

"Yes, didn't your mother and I still divide the money? This wool still belongs to me and your mother!" Old Zhoutou was not stupid, and said: "Your mother has already said that we will wait until the next winter wheat harvest.

Now, the food at home has been received and the money has been divided again, where can I find so much money for you to buy a shop?"

"Dad, you can buy the shop to do business, or you can rent it out to collect rent."

"What kind of business can our family do?"

Zhou Lang immediately said: "Sister-in-law can sell food."

"Man Bao just said that she would give it to your sister-in-law, so we don't need to buy it from our family."

"..." Zhou Lang: "Then our house can still sell groceries."

"Didn't you say it last year? Your second brother also said that the vegetables and other things sold at home are better sold at a stall. You spent more than a hundred taels of silver just to buy a shop to sell groceries. Don't you think it's a loss?

Panic." Old Zhoutou said: "Do you know how long it took our family to save a hundred taels?"

"Then our house is no longer what it used to be. The shop can be rented even if it is not in operation."

"Second brother, how much does a shop in the county cost per month?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on the location and size. Good ones can be rented for two or three taels a month, and bad ones can be rented for one tael or so."

"Look, Man Bao, let me calculate for your fourth brother, how many rents can a shop worth two taels of silver get in a year?"

"Twenty-four taels."

Lao Zhou slapped his thigh, "So you don't need to buy your shop. Doesn't it cost money? Those meals don't make any money. How many pennies do they make? How many people do you need to eat in a day?

Can you earn back these hundred taels?"

Zhou Lang was speechless. He always felt that his father's calculation was not quite right, but he couldn't explain it.

Man Bao also felt something was wrong. She thought for a moment and said, "Dad, shops can also be passed down, just like land. Even if they are rented out, the rent will be paid back in seven or eight years."

"But your money has gone in. Our family's financial resources are still very small. What if something happens and we need money urgently?"

"Sell it again," Zhou Lang said: "You don't have to worry about selling the shop in a good location."

Old Zhoutou laughed, "Is the location of Uncle Shi's shop good now?"

"good!"

Old Zhoutou: "Okay, how much did you say his shop is worth?"

Zhou Lang: "...One hundred and eighty taels is no problem. If you meet a good seller, you may be able to sell two hundred taels."

"So you see, he is selling one hundred and twenty taels now. Why?" Lao Zhoutou said, patting his thigh: "Because he is in urgent need of money. What is urgent need of money? The key point is to be in a hurry."

Lao Zhoutou said: "Our family has very little money, and there are so many people in the family. To put it bluntly, if today we use our money to buy a shop, and tomorrow something happens to our family and we need money urgently, if you use the money to free up, you can still sell it."

The previous price?”

Thursday Lang was silent.

Lao Zhoutou said: "You can buy a shop if you want. We have enough land at home now, enough for our family to grow crops. We don't need to buy more land. But that will have to wait until our family has saved enough money.

Whenever I can spend one or two hundred taels without breaking the bank, I will definitely buy it."

However, Lao Zhoutou still couldn't help but mutter, "Why did you buy it from the shop..."

Qian glanced at him and said to Zhou Lang: "Listen to your father."

Zhou Lang could only sigh, and then asked: "Can Man Bao still buy his own shop?"

Lao Zhoutou wanted to object, but after thinking about it for a moment, he took it back and asked Manbao instead: "Why did you go to the city today?"

“It’s time to eat something delicious.”

"how much did you spend?"

"It's not much, just over a hundred articles."

The more than 100 yuan was spent by four people together.

But Lao Zhoutou was heartbroken and immediately said: "Buy it, Man Bao can buy it if he wants."

Go ahead and buy it, since your daughter’s money won’t reach her own hands anyway, so if she keeps throwing money around for fun, she might as well buy a shop or land.

Lao Zhoutou asked: "Did you buy it for home use?"

Man Bao shook his head, "No, this is for my sister-in-law. I want to open a food shop for her in the county town. Dad, you are not allowed to rob my sister-in-law's shop."

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, I'm too lazy to grab it, and I don't know how to cook." Lao Zhou stood up with his hands behind his back, and then said to Xiao Qian with red eyes: "My dear, you don't know how to keep accounts, look back.

Let Da Tou Da Ya keep accounts for you, and after deducting costs every month, 50% of the profits will be paid to the public."

Xiao Qian quickly agreed, "I know dad."

Satisfied, Lao Zhoutou walked out casually, "Okay, I don't care about the rest. You children can settle the matter among yourself."

As soon as Lao Zhoutou left, Qian stood up and said with a smile: "Man Bao, let your second brother and fourth brother accompany you tomorrow. They know more about the outside world than you do."

After that, he went back to the house.

As soon as the two old men left, Xiao Qian immediately hugged Man Bao into his arms, crying and laughing, and lowered his voice and said: "You little girl, what, why do you think of giving such a thing to my sister-in-law?"

Man Bao puffed up his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, I will give you more things in the future."

Feng couldn't help but feel jealous, "Sister-in-law, we are good to you, but you don't want to give us away?"

Man Bao became entangled and said heartbrokenly: "This shop is so expensive. If Second Sister-in-law wants it, why not ask Er Tou and Er Ya to buy it for you, otherwise you will have to wait for me for a long time..."

Mrs. Feng was so angry that she pointed at her forehead and said, "You are so heartless. I made so much egg water for you for nothing."

Man Bao's whole face turned bitter.

Ertou laughed loudly and said: "Mom, I don't like to drink egg water. The ones you make are not as delicious as the ones made by my eldest aunt. Maybe that's why I don't buy them for you, hahaha..."

Zhou Erlang looked at his son sympathetically.

Feng was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and beat him, "You didn't eat less of the food I cooked. You didn't dislike it when you ate it, but now you dislike it..."

Xiao Qian also burst into tears and smiled, patted Man Bao's head and said: "The shop is for my sister-in-law, not for my sister-in-law. Tomorrow you can take your family's household registration and record it in your name. When you get married, it can be used as a dowry."

"

Man Bao shook his head and whispered: "I don't want it, sister-in-law. If I want a shop in the future, I can just buy it myself. This is for you. I said before that I will buy you a big house to live in. I will wait for you later

When I have money, I will buy it for you again, but this time I will buy you a shop first."

Xiao Qian couldn't help but whispered: "Buy it for your parents first."

Man Bao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. Anyway, Mom and Dad will live with me in the future. I will buy it for myself in the future, and Mom and Dad will be there naturally."

Zhou Dalang: "...Man Bao, I am the eldest son, and my parents live with me."

Man Bao quickly said: "I know, I know, brother, you must live with us, otherwise how can I eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law?"

Zhou Erlang immediately put his arm around Zhou Lang's shoulders and said, "Third brother, let's go. Yaomei has completely forgotten about us."

Zhou Lang also stood up and sighed: "Let's go, let's go, fourth, fifth and sixth, let's all go."

Saturday Lang: "I'm not leaving, sister-in-law. When your shop opens, I'll help you. You can also make steamed buns and sell them, okay? Then we'll sell braised pork for lunch and stuffed tofu for dinner..."

While talking, he was drooling.

Man Bao also swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "There is also stewed chicken, and the newly made braised fish is also delicious."

Zhou Yilang turned to Mrs. Feng and said, "Do you know why Manbao didn't buy you a shop?"
