Chapter 2612 Grain Shop

Bai Shandao: "After we returned to Beijing, we were busy with our affairs, and we have only made room until now. Originally, we wanted to treat guests at home and let everyone come to the door to talk about it, but it just happened that Princess Danyang held a summer banquet, and the princess and Liu Huan found them. I didn't go to the summer banquet because of the excuse, so it's not good to go to my house again, so I just made an appointment outside."

He smiled and said, "I thought that senior brothers and sisters-in-law might not like to go to summer banquets, so I called senior brothers and sisters-in-law."

Mrs. Tang heard a few words, turned her head and said, "Yes, I don't want to go to that summer feast, it's so hot and the sun is so big, even in the pavilion, I'm not comfortable, and if I put some fragrance powder on it, everyone will be fine. Too much, the chest will be very tight."

Man Bao was curious, "Why is Princess Danyang having a banquet at this time?"

Mingda said softly, "My aunt's cousin is about to have a kiss, so recently my aunt is keen to hold banquets."

Bao Bao immediately understood.

Madam Tang looked at Liu Huanle, "Why didn't Mr. Liu go? Didn't your grandmother take you there?"

Zhou Liru, who was eating quietly on the side, raised his head, and Man Bao immediately said, "Sister-in-law, he is now my niece-in-law."

Liu Huan: ...Although it's true, this title makes him very uncomfortable. After all, they are classmates, right?

Madam Tang was also stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Liru, now Zhou Man's niece is the only one who hasn't married yet, right?

She smiled and said, "When did this happen? Why don't you entertain guests?"

Man Bao smiled and said, "When the decision was made, the two families would sit down and have a meal together, so there's no need to publicize it too much."

The main reason is that Zhou Liru is still addicted to his studies, and the Liu family also feels that Liu Huan's temperament is not stable enough, so they are not in a hurry to get married this year.

Madam Tang poured a glass of wine, raised her glass and smiled, "Although it's late, I still want to congratulate you all."

Liu Huan and Zhou Liru were suddenly brought up, their faces flushed, and they raised their glasses to thank Madam Tang.

It is rare for everyone to get together, Bai Shan is very generous, ordered a lot of dishes, and seasonal melons and fruits.

There is an ice basin in the box, the window is open, and there is a breeze blowing in, but it is cooler than the home. The most important thing is that outside the window is one of the most lively streets in Beijing.

After dinner, everyone could lean against the window and look at the red dust downstairs, and Mrs. Tang even greeted everyone to play leaf cards together.

Across a screen, Master Tang and the others sat cross-legged on the couch and talked, talking about the recent good poetry in the capital.

At this moment, some candidates have entered Beijing, preparing for the jinshi examination in the autumn.

Master Tang smiled and said, "Is this the largest private room in Jiufu Building?"

Bai Shan nodded, because there were many people invited, so he directly decided on the biggest one.

Master Tang, who is not very rich, said, "Why are you two so rich?"

Although Bai Shan is a bit stingy, it is undeniable that he is still very rich. Master Tang can even feel that the Bai family is richer than the Tang family.

Bai Shan smiled and said, "Xuexiong Tang is joking, you don't look like someone who lacks money."

He leaned closer and whispered, "Could it be that the sister-in-law holds the financial power in the family and doesn't give you any expenses?"

Master Tang glanced nervously outside the screen, couldn't help giving him an elbow, and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down."

After I finished speaking, I felt that it was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't your salary not collected by Zhou Man?"

Bai Shan shook his head, "My grandmother and mother received my salaries and Manbao's salary."

Before getting married, Man Bao's salary was paid by the Zhou family. Because the money was not a lot, it was all received by the old Zhoutou. Silver makes the bottom of the press box for her.

And Lumi and the like are used at home and in restaurants.

After getting married, the Zhou family and the Bai family went to collect the salaries together, but the salaries were collected by Mrs. Liu and kept in the Gongzhong for use. Also used in restaurants.

Even though Man Bao is married, she still gets a large commission from the restaurant every year.

Every month Yue Manbao and Bai Shan could receive 22 taels of monthly silver from the duke. In this way, their monthly salary of 56 taels would not be enough.

If it weren't for the employment field and income, they would be completely gnawing at the old.

Bai Shan touched his chin and said, "I have to buy some gifts for my grandmother and mother when I go back."

Master Tang: ...

Bai Shan asked him curiously, "Does Brother Tang have Yueyin?"

Master Tang moved his butt and whispered, "There are some, but it's not too expensive..."

Bai Erlang on the side was also curious, "How much is a month?"

Master Tang stretched out two fingers, and Bai Shan and Bai Erlang said, "Isn't it the same as ours? Why is it not enough?"

Bai Erlang said: "I spend at most five taels per month, and there are still fifteen taels left."

Bai Erlang could lend to his classmates to collect interest when the monthly money was only five taels, not to mention now that he has a lot of balance every month.

And his salary is still collected by himself, Mingda doesn't ask him for it, Lumi, what their family can't eat is sent directly to the grain shop to sell.

"By the way, I was just about to tell you that I plan to open a grain shop with a shop in Yongzhou New City. In the future, if you can't finish your Lumi, you can send it to my grain shop to sell. I will give you a reasonable price. price."

Bai Shan nodded.

Master Tang asked him, "Why did you think of opening a grain shop?"

Bai Erlang said: "Then what can be done, the price of the grain shop outside is so low, just like this, they earn three or four cents for a buck of rice when they go in and out. Why should I earn this money for them in my own shop? "

In fact, it was Bai Erlang's first time to receive a salary, and he was very excited, so he deliberately asked for leave that day to receive his salary.

He also took it once and didn't care. He only received the money, and Lumi was piled up in the warehouse at home.

The stewards of the princess' mansion were negligent and the rice was not well preserved. There was a lot of rain last month, and the rice grains in the warehouse were a little damp. Bai Erlang curiously went up to take a look at the excitement, and only then did he realize that their family had a lot of lumi.

Part of it is his, and part of it is Mingda's share.

Mingda lives in the capital and is paid a monthly salary.

Bai Erlang felt that they couldn't eat so much at home, and the rice was just for mice to eat, so he directly sent it to the grain store to sell.

As a result, the price of rice was severely suppressed, not to mention the damp rice, even the part that was not damp was also severely suppressed.

And the part that has been damp is equivalent to giving it to the rice shop in vain.

In a fit of rage, Bai Erlang sent all the rice to Yushantang, and then prepared to open a grain shop, so that he could sell grain by himself by assigning a steward and a buddy over there.

He said: "Anyway, not all the shops in Xincheng are rented out. The ready-made shops can sell food when they are cleaned up. When they have some, they sell it, and when they don't, they close the business.

Master Tang and Bai Shan:  …

Master Tang turned to look at Bai Shan, "Aren't you persuading me?"

Bai Shan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Forget it, the shop is his own, and the people in charge are also his own, so it's fine."

Yin Heben said, "Then I will give you the extra Lumi I have."

He paused and said, "And my father's."

Liu Huan immediately said, "I'll give you mine too."

Bai Erlang was ecstatic.

See you tomorrow
