Chapter 74 Buying a house in a school district

The second shop is on the street where Liu Yue saved Zeng Lili last time.

After seeing the first shop, Liu Yue felt that there was no free pie in the sky, and she was also wary of the second shop. She was a little shocked when she found out that the other shop's business was not doing well just because of fierce competition.

Zeng Xian’s conscience discovered it?

Zeng Zhi explained the situation of this shop in detail: "The rouge and gouache industry in Pinglu City is monopolized by the Chang family, and the adults are unwilling to use their power to suppress others, so the business of this shop has never been good."

Speaking of which, the Zeng family's rouge gouache is a recipe passed down from Beijing. Logically speaking, it should be very popular in Pinglu City, but the Chang family has a deep foundation in Pinglu City, and the people are already accustomed to using their products. Zeng Zhi

Many methods have been tried, but none have been able to shake the Chang family's position.

Zeng Xian originally planned to close this shop and switch to other businesses, but after hearing Liu Yue say that he wanted to open a shop selling rouge and gouache, he took advantage of the situation and transferred the shop to Liu Yue. He also promised to transfer the rouge and gouache workshop to Liu Yue.

The employees gave it to Liu Yue together, so Liu Yue did not need to develop the product herself.

Liu Yue tried the rouge and gouache in the shop. The quality was pretty good and she was very satisfied with the shop.

Although she sold everything in her previous life, what she has been doing the longest is selling beauty products. This is more suitable for her, and the beauty industry is more profitable, and she can accumulate wealth faster.

Zeng Xian finally realized that it wasn't too much of a scam. After thinking for a while, Liu Yue decided to continue the mutton business first. After all, there was a scammer who was willing to pay half of the cost! This would save a lot of money.

As for the solution to the odor, you should be able to figure it out if you go back and read a book. The mutton she ate in modern times didn't have any odor.

Zeng Zhi took Liu Yue to see the rouge workshop again and recognized the employees. Because the business was not good, there were not many people in the two shops. The restaurant had twelve employees, three cooks, one shopkeeper, six waiters, and two waiters.

There were a total of eight people in the rouge shop and workshop, six in the workshop, one assistant, and the shopkeeper in the shop. They were all servants of the Zeng family who signed the death deed. Zeng Zhi gave the death deed to Liu Yue.

Liu Yue clicked her tongue, this official in ancient times was really rich. A slave like this who signed a death contract would cost at least seventy or eighty taels. Zeng Xian actually gave away twenty of them.

The advantage of holding the body contract in your hand is that you don't have to worry about being betrayed. After all, the servant who signed the death contract is his own property, and the master does not have to bear responsibility even if he is killed.

Liu Yue was instinctively displeased, but she also knew that she was powerless to change the status quo. She just thought that if the cooperation was happy in the future, she would return her body contract to those people.

After handing over to the shop, Liu Yue was not in a hurry to return to the village. Instead, she discussed buying a house in the city with Shen Qingyan and Ling An.

Shen Ling'an was a little confused: "Sister-in-law, won't we have a house?"

Shen Qingyan thought it was good: "By buying a house in the city, Qingyan and Yixiu can go home and live every day. It will also be convenient for us to do business."

Shen Qingyan also saw that Liu Yue came to the city to do business not only to improve their living standards, but also to accumulate strength in order to deal with something.

Knowing that Liu Yue didn't want to say it, he didn't ask and just followed Liu Yue's arrangement.

After getting along for more than a month, he already understood that Liu Yue was sincerely protecting them.

Liu Yue nodded, then shook her head: "Not only that, I also hope that Ling'an will also go to study."

Pinglu City's girls' school and the government school are on the same street, and the time to go to and from school is about the same. Ling An can go to school with Shen Jingcheng after that.

When Shen Ling'an heard that she was going to school, she immediately made a sad face: "Can I not go?"

It's tiring enough to be watched by my big brother every day while learning Chinese characters and multiplication. Why do I have to go to school now?

Shen Qingyan also had this idea. He was troubled by the naughty and mischievous Ling'an. He had been planning to send her to a girls' school to learn some rules. He had temporarily shelved the plan because Ling'an was still young and her family was not well off. The original plan was In the winter, I did more copywriting work to save some money for Ling An's tuition.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yue would be the first to mention this matter.

Liu Yue felt that Ling'an was still young. Although there was no such thing as nine-year compulsory education in ancient times, Liu Yue still felt that it was inappropriate to let seven-year-old Ling'an hang out with them selling goods on the street every day.

Children should behave like children, and reading is the best destination for children!

Both of them tacitly ignored Shen Ling'an's wails and decided to buy a house and send her to school after moving.

The process of looking at the house went very smoothly. The dental dealer chose Taoli Lane for them, which is close to the government school and the medical center. The yard they were shown was in the middle and back of the alley. It was neither too noisy nor too lonely. It was a nice place. In the small courtyard with two entrances, there is a row of reverse rooms for servants, two wing rooms in the east and west, and the main room and the main room in the middle. The yard is not small, and a small pond has been dug to raise fish. Many children in the alley. I studied in a government school or private school, and the learning atmosphere in the alley is very strong. The dental dealer also said that the Feng Shui of this house is good. The original owner's son has passed the high school and is an official in the capital. He wanted to bring his parents over to enjoy the blessings, so he decided to sell the house. Is there any question? Few people are rushing to buy this house, so if you want to do it, you have to hurry up...

Liu Yue had a feeling of "Meng's mother moved three times" and was satisfied with all aspects of the house, but the price was too expensive.

"One thousand three hundred taels?"

Liu Yue clicked her tongue.

Even though she has indeed made a lot of money recently, she is still a little reluctant to part with the money. As expected, no matter what era it is, buying a house has to be done with a layer of skin.

The average price of a house in Taoli Lane is between 800 taels and 1,500 taels. For a medium-sized house, the price is quite expensive.

Liu Yue sent Shen Qingyan to negotiate the price, but the house was in hot demand and the tooth dealer was not worried about business and was not willing to give in at all. Liu Yue had no choice but to reluctantly give up the house and let the tooth dealer take them to see other places.

The tooth dealer took them to see a house in a store deep in Taoli Lane. This house had a similar structure to the previous house, and was even a little bigger, but it only cost 900 taels.

The price is so low because of my son.

The son of this family was originally a scholar. He had just gotten married and was preparing for the Autumn Festival next year. However, he later got involved in gambling and lost all the money in the family. He still owed a lot to the casino. He was forced to commit suicide by drowning in the river. Although The man died, but the casino did not let go of the family, forcing the two old men to pay off the money for their son. The bride was so frightened that she fled back to the house, leaving only the two old men to face these things. The old men at home were forced to have no choice but to The house could be sold, but it was sold in a hurry, so the price was a little lower. Two old people were also there during the inspection, saying that if Liu Yue was sincere about buying the house, the price could be lower.

Liu Yue could also clearly see the difference between the two houses. Although no one had lived in the previous house for a long time, she could still tell that the owner loved the house. The flowers, plants and trees were well taken care of, and you could feel the warmth when you walked in. There is a strong atmosphere of a scholarly home, and the owner of this house even still lives there, but the courtyard is desolate and austere.

Many people came to see the house, but after learning about the owner's house, they thought the feng shui was not good and gave up.

Liu Yue didn't mind the feng shui issue. She just needed to take care of the poor yard. Looking at the dejected faces of the two old men, she rarely let Shen Qingyan negotiate the price. She readily paid nine hundred taels and asked the dental dealer to handle the procedures.

After settling the house matter, Liu Yue also decided to go home. Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance at the end of the alley.

Let me complain, I am also preparing to buy a house recently, it is too expensive.

Guess who Liu Yue met?
