"The mirror is a reward for your mother. The silver is for your hard work.

Since we are setting up the stage to perform, we should at least give some benefits to those who cooperate with us in the performance.

There are other people in your family besides you. After you finish, give some benefits to other people in your family, or give them some gifts to make them happy.

Also, give some money to the servants who have worked hard. Next time, when you are arranging things, they will be more active than anyone else.

Let's try to sell more. I forgot to mention that I plan to work with the Big Buddha Temple, including you, to build a place for leisure, entertainment and health preservation.

This project is quite large and requires a large sum of money. Let's try to earn back the money in advance.

The government may also be involved. The details will depend on the government's opinion. It is tentative."

"How come I didn't know?" the young prince asked in surprise. He didn't remember Xiao Heitan telling him about this.

Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

"Didn't I just tell you? I just had this idea yesterday, and I went to see Mr. Li today.

This business of ours will definitely make money, trust me.

Didn’t I say before that no matter what business I do in the future, I will bring you along so that you can also earn some pocket money. So, from the beginning, I naturally included you.”

How can we miss the participation of this thick thigh!

"Little Black Charcoal, you are so kind. Thank you, brother, for remembering me when you have good things.

I'll listen to you. What should I do next?" the little prince asked happily.

Xiao Heitan is so generous. He said he would help me earn some pocket money, but this pocket money seems a bit too much.

It completely exceeded my expectations and imagination.

"When our restaurant opens, a batch of rare flowers will arrive. The restaurant will keep some of them, and I will sponsor the rest to you for the banquet in your mansion.

Guide everyone to write poetry and find ways to drive up the price, the higher the better.

The quality is the same as the ones I gave you last time, they are all very good flowers, and we have to turn them into money.

I forgot to ask you? Has anyone asked about watches? What is their expected price range? "

"Yes, many people asked. The lowest price was 1 taels, and the highest was 1 taels."

"This price is good. Remember to show it off more. As for the watch, I'll give you 10 out of 1. You're in charge of it.

I'll send the watch to you after that. How about we sell it for 8 or 10 yuan first? "

This price far exceeded Shen Ruyi's psychological expectations.

Shen Ruyi originally thought that if she could sell one piece for 1000 or 2000 taels, that would be about right.

But she forgot that people in ancient times used hourglasses to tell time.

Using an hourglass to tell time and looking at a watch are two completely different levels, two completely different realms.

Watches that can measure time to the second are extremely valuable.

This thing was worth buying in the first place.

"Eight or ten yuan, isn't that too little? There are so many people asking. Not to mention others, my father, mother and concubine all want one too."

"I'll give two pieces to your mother and father. Otherwise, I'll give one piece each to the emperor and the young prince."

You still have to flatter those who should be flattered. Give away a few watches, mostly to officials and princes and princesses, to win their favor. It never does any harm.

"When you sell something, it's natural that it's more valuable because it's rare. The fewer there are, the more valuable it is.

Then I'll put in 10 yuan first, and when I run out of money to build the house later, I'll sell a few more yuan."

"How can I accept your things, which are so valuable?"

"If you really feel sorry for me, you can give me some cows, sheep and horses.

It would be best if I had cows and sheep. I plan to do some breeding, and this is what I need most at the moment.”

This is the difference between the times.

In modern times, a good and strong cow can buy all the watches that Shen Ruyi has hoarded.

But now, a watch can be exchanged for countless cows. This is a good deal.

If I have the chance in the future, I should go to the border and exchange some cattle, horses and sheep from the grassland. I will definitely make a fortune.

"That's no problem, Little Black Charcoal. You're amazing to be able to get so many new things."

"Of course, without the necessary skills, who would dare to undertake such a big task?

Little Prince, you are done. Send someone to take all the scattered land of the Big Buddha Temple into your hands. Even if you raise the price a little, it will be fine.

As for the later life of the common people, we need to hire a lot of people to work there, so we can hire them later. Or we can just do a land-for-land exchange with the common people.

The land around the Big Buddha Temple will definitely be very valuable in the future. So it is more reliable to keep it in our own hands.”

"Okay, I know."

"Once we sell the mirrors, watches, and flowers, we'll have enough money to build the garden, and the rest will be easy."

"Little Black Charcoal, we've made a lot of money from the storybook business. Let's plan to divide the profits someday."

"Well, sure, after the restaurant opens, we can talk about it when we have some free time.

What about the storyteller you prepared earlier? Will he tell stories to liven up the atmosphere when the restaurant opens? "

"Of course, we can also perform the play we rehearsed. It's just that the venue in our restaurant is a bit small, so it's a bit difficult to perform.

How about we put it in front of the restaurant?" The young prince suggested, the more he thought about it, the more appropriate it seemed.

"The Lantern Festival is a day for officials and the people to have fun together. Other people hang lanterns and guess lantern riddles, but our restaurant can directly arrange opera. Wouldn't it be more lively and definitely popular?"

"Good idea, let's start setting up the stage tomorrow, and of course, leave the main path open for people.

How lively it is? Do you need to invite lion dancers to liven things up?"

Shen Ruyi thought about it and agreed that it was possible. The space at the entrance of the restaurant was spacious, enough to set up a stage.

"We usually need to invite guests for opening, but our restaurant doesn't need that. The day after tomorrow, there will be lion dancers everywhere.

When they pass by, please come in and perform for a while in our restaurant. Give them some more money to wish them good luck."

"Well, that's good, you are more familiar with this than I am, I'll listen to you.

Storytellers, then starting from the day after tomorrow, send a few good ones to practice in our restaurant first?"

"sure."

Shen Ruyi remembered what happened at Meiyuan, took out the silver bills and counted out 10 taels.

Feeling that it might be a little too little, he added the title deed of the five-courtyard compound where Shen Huai lived and handed it to the young prince.

"Young Prince, this is 10 silver notes, plus the title deed of a five-story courtyard.

Take it and ask the government if they agree to sell Plum Garden to us. Count the amount and see if it is correct. "

"Okay." The young prince took the banknote and counted it. The amount was correct, neither more nor less.

He looked at the deed again, "Isn't this the deed of Shen Huai's family?"

"Yes, it was his, but now it's mine. Ask the government if they agree. If they agree, buy it back."
