The general's wife knows medicine

After hearing Yang Tingzhen say there was a shop to buy, Tang Peipei counted all his income in the evening.

Excluding the expenses and purchase money during this period.

When Tang Peipei came back, he returned the two hundred taels he had left for Lu Gang to Tang Peipei.

All in all, there was more than 1,300 taels.

Tang Peipei currently has no idea about the housing prices in Beijing, and doesn't know whether they are affordable.

But according to her calculations, it would not be cheap.

Tang Peipei was a little worried.

It is definitely enough to buy a shop, but I am afraid there may not be much left.

They will have to keep some spare money next, whether it is for the operating funds in the shop, the land, or at home. It would be better to keep some money.

You have to keep at least three hundred taels, which leaves about one thousand taels.

It should be about the same, right? Tang Peipei thought that she should wait for Yang Tingzhen to reply before taking a look.

The next day, Wen Guilan and her companions brought five more people over.

Tang Peipei asked them one by one and asked them to try to make a sachet. They all did a good job and their skills were comparable to those of Wen Guilan and others.

With the addition of these people, Tang Peipei's small garment factory began to take shape.

But the house seemed a little crowded, so Tang Peipei wondered whether he should build a factory specifically for making ready-made clothes.

Since she wanted to open a clothing store, she must have a professional assembly line.

Tang Peipei found Lu Gang and said, "Grandpa, I want to build a small house next to our house to make clothes. What do you think?"

Lu Gang thought for a while and said, "We need to build a small house. Look, this house is almost not big enough."

Because there was no extra room for them to make ready-made clothes, Tang Peipei could only let everyone do it in the yard temporarily.

There was a large wooden board in the yard, with clothes and cloth piled on it, looking a bit messy.

And now there are five more people, so there are more than ten or twenty people in the house. It’s really hard to stay here.

Therefore, Lu Gang strongly agrees with renovating the house now.

Tang Peipei also thought of this and asked, "Grandpa, where do you think it's appropriate to repair?"

There was wasteland behind, and at a distance there were two dilapidated huts, which seemed to have no place to repair.

Lu Gang said, "Why don't we go find the village head and see if we can buy the hut on the left or the right and turn it into a factory. If it feels a bit shabby, we can just reject it and rebuild it."

Tang Peipei thought that this was the case and said, "Then I'll go ask the village head uncle."

Lu Gang thought it was okay anyway, so he said, "I'll go with you."

Who knew that before they even left the hospital, they would run into Yang Tingzhen walking towards their house.

Tang Peipei and Lu Gang looked at each other and stood at the gate waiting for Yang Tingzhen to come.

Yang Tingzhen saw Tang Peipei and Lu Gang standing outside the courtyard gate waiting for him, and asked with a smile: "How did you know I would come at this time?"

Then he looked at Lu Gang and greeted him politely: "Hello, old man!"

Lu Gang smiled and replied, "Hello, Deputy General Yang!" Then he asked, "What do you want to do here, Deputy General Yang?"

Yang Tingzhen smiled brightly and said, "Didn't I ask Miss Tang yesterday that she was interested in buying a shop? As soon as I got the news, I came here to tell you."

When Tang Peipei heard that it was about the shop, he quickly invited Yang Tingzhen to sit inside.

Tang Peipei poured some water and asked, "But did you find out?"

Yang Tingzhen smiled and said, "I asked. It's a family named Cao. They said they were going to return to their hometown and wanted to sell their shop and property in Beijing. The shop happened to be on East Street. I went to see it. The location is not bad. It has two floors and used to make gold and silver jewelry. I just don't know if it's what Miss Tang wants."

Tang Peipei heard that the location was good and that they used to make gold and silver jewelry, so she was afraid that the prices would be expensive.

Asked: "I wonder what the price is?"

Yang Tingzhen said: "The price is not expensive, only one hundred and fifty taels per shop. But he has a request."

Tang Peipei was stunned by the price. She thought it would be at least five or six hundred taels, but it was only over a hundred taels. Tang Peipei had an idea in her mind.

Asked: "What's the request?"

Yang Tingzhen said, "This old man has two shops and a three-story courtyard, and he wants to sell it to one person. In other words, if you want to buy his East Street shop, you have to buy his West Street shop and the East Street property together."

Tang Peipei asked: "How much silver does that cost?"

Yang Tingzhen said: "The shop on East Street is 150 taels, the shop on West Street is 100 taels, and the property in the third courtyard is 200 taels."

Tang Peipei calculated in his mind that a total of four hundred and fifty taels would be needed, so he could buy it.

"I'll go take a look first. I wonder if Deputy General Yang knows if he can talk about the price?"

Yang Tingzhen immediately said happily: "Go and have a look first, I'll take you there. If you like it, we'll talk to him about it."

Tang Peipei said: "Then wait for me."

Tang Peipei went back to the house and changed her clothes.

Mu Jintang came in from outside holding the little girl.

Seeing Tang Peipei changed into clothes for going out, he asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Yang Tingzhen took credit and said, "General, I found a shop for Miss Tang and I was just about to go and see it."

Mu Jintang glared at him. This guy was really nosy.

Yang Tingzhen was puzzled. Did he do something bad with good intentions? But wasn't Miss Tang in need of a shop? Wasn't he helping Miss Tang?

Yang Tingzhen looked embarrassed and could no longer smile. He just stood aside and said nothing.

Mu Jintang said: "Then I will go with you?"

Tang Peipei said: "You don't have to wait for the fifth prince anymore? Can you go back to the capital now?"

Mu Jintang was choked. He forgot that he had not yet told Tang Peipei that the fifth prince had returned to Beijing.

Because he wanted to stay and spend more time with Tang Peipei and Xiaotuanzi. Of course, Tang Peipei was very busy every day and had no time to spend with him.

But he can get along with his son. If Tang Peipei knew about this, she would definitely not let him live here.

Mu Jintang had no choice but to shake his head and said, "We have to wait. We can't go back to Beijing yet."

Yang Tingzhen looked puzzled. Didn't the Fifth Prince return to the capital? Didn't the general know?

He was just about to tell his general that the fifth prince had returned to the capital and he could go back.

Before he could even utter a word, he received a warning look from Mu Jintang, which made Yang Tingzhen shut up quickly and reduce his presence.

Tang Peipei was thinking about the shop and didn't notice the two people's little actions at all.

"Grandpa, let's put the matter of the courtyard aside for now. Let me take a look at this place first."

Lu Gang nodded and said, "Okay, go and take a look."

Tang Peipei called Yang Tingzhen and said, "Let's go, Deputy General Yang."

Tang Peipei went out first, and Yang Tingzhen followed quickly.

He felt that today was not a good day to meet the general, and it didn't seem very good.

He took the whip from Tang Peipei very attentively and led the carriage out of the yard.

Tang Peipei hurried to catch up.
