The fifth year of Jin Yuan, autumn.

Li Lanzhen bought half a street in Youzhou City, and the thirteen shops there were doing a booming business.

In the past two years, the population of Youzhou City and its surrounding counties and towns has increased by more than 100,000.

As the population increased, the speed of trade gradually accelerated.

As a provincial capital, Youzhou Prefecture is undoubtedly a place where businesses focus.

The "dead street" of North Street has been given new life.

She connected two large flat-floor shops, knocked down the walls, and supported the middle with pillars, making the space open and spacious, and opened a "Taohuayuan Supermarket No. 1".

This supermarket also has a wide variety of merchandise, but it is much more refined than what you’d find in a grocery store.

Among the thirteen shops, one was given to Bai Houpu to open a "Guangji Pharmacy".

Bai Houpu did not want this pharmacy in vain, as he gave 20% of the profits from the pharmacy to Li Lanzhen.

Li Lanzhen declined the offer, saying that she was grateful for his full support when her injured family members were being treated. He not only used good medicine but also went to see the patient in person every day.

Bai Houpu was also determined to give away this 20% of the profits.

He told Li Lanzhen that without her, even if their family could have come to Youzhou City, they would not have made it here in one piece, and they would not have come to Medicine Valley so quickly and resumed their old business and lived a life of ease and comfort.

What's more, Li Lanzhen saved the bloodline left by his sister and brother-in-law.

Helped them find their brother-in-law who had disappeared for many years.

Later, seeing that she couldn't refuse, Li Lanzhen accepted it.

Then every year, they would be given a lot of food.

If they can eat it, eat it. If they can’t, it’s up to them to decide what to do with it.

This is a disguised way of subsidizing them in terms of food.

Bai Houpu was also helpless, knowing that Li Lanzhen was a person who would repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude.

I stopped refusing. Sometimes, if you calculate favors too clearly when dealing with people, it will make people feel distant.

Bai Houpu and his colleagues are even more attentive to the healthy eating of Li Lanzhen's family.

Every year when the solar terms change, he would come in person to see Li Erhan and others and prescribe some nourishing medicines.

She made these shops very clear at the family meeting. Whoever wanted a shop should tell her and also make it clear what business the shop was going to do.

After considering it, if it is feasible, she will rent it to him.

To Li Lanzhen's surprise, Miaomiao found her one day.

Tell her that she wants a shop, which she will rent from Li Lanzhen and she will pay the rent.

Li Lanzhen looked at the 12-year-old girl and told her seriously that she wanted to rent her shop to do business.

Li Lanzhen did not look down on Miaomiao. Instead, she took her hand and asked seriously.

"Miaomiao, have you thought about it? You want to rent grandma's shop. What do you want to do?"

Miaomiao was indeed a little nervous before coming.

The education she received was that boys could read and write and could study in private schools.

Boys can leave home and go far away to do business and earn money.

Girls are not allowed to do these things. They can only cook and take care of children at home and embroider handkerchiefs and purses to earn a little money.

But since fleeing the famine, grandma said that boys and girls are the same and equal.

Especially after arriving at Peach Blossom Spring, grandma asked all the girls who wanted to learn to read, write, and learn arithmetic.

She followed her mother to the "Wangwang Embroidery Shop" in Youzhou City and stayed there for more than two years.

After seeing many people and things, especially after what happened with Gu Yuli, she felt like she had grown up.

When grandma called a family meeting, she asked them if anyone wanted to do business or needed a shop, they should go to her and tell her.

Miaomiao was nervous for two days. After Zhang Yu Niang and Han Minghai knew Miaomiao's idea, they were very supportive.

Han Minghai put his hands on Miaomiao's shoulders and said seriously, "Daughter, Dad supports you!

Dad will give you five hundred taels of silver.

If you need anything else, tell me and I'll help you."

Miaomiao didn't expect Han Mingjiang to support her so much.

When she had this idea, she was afraid that her father Han Minghai would not support it.

As for her mother and grandmother, she felt that there was no big problem.

But now, when she spoke up, her father supported her without hesitation.

"Dad, thank you so much. I will run the business well. If I have any problem, I will ask you for help."

With their encouragement, Miaomiao came to see Li Lanzhen with more confidence.

At this time, she met Li Lanzhou's serious eyes and said firmly.

"Grandma, I want to open a 'Wangwang Toy Store'."

Li Lanzhen smiled, "Oh, you even thought of a name for the store?

Let me guess, does this store specialize in selling toys? "

Miaomiao nodded vigorously, and her expression had relaxed at this time.

"Yes, grandma. My store will not only sell stuffed dolls, but also wooden dolls and some toys with ingenious mechanisms made by Uncle Guangyang and his friends."

"Oh, have you discussed this with my great uncle and Uncle Guangyang?

What if they want to sell these toys, too?”

Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Grandma, I've already asked Uncle Guangyang.

He and my aunt both said they could help me make the toys I needed. They don’t sell these.”

Then he grinned and said, "Of course, as long as I pay the money."

The two laughed for a while, and Li Lanzhen said, "Okay, if you have made up your mind, then go open a toy store.

As for the decoration or the shelves, go find your father or Uncle Guangyang."

"Got it, grandma, thank you."

Li Lanzhen took out a silver note from her sleeve pocket.

"Miaomiao, here you go. Take this hundred taels of silver. It's a donation from grandma."

Miaomiao didn't reach out her hand immediately. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then took it readily.

"Okay, thanks grandma.

The first money I earn will be used to honor my grandmother. "

In this way, a "Wanwang Toy Store" opened on the east side of North Street.

No matter if she encountered sales problems or had conflicts with customers, Miaomiao would go to Li Lanzhen first to talk to her, and immediately find a solution. Then she would go back to her store with high spirits.

In the first month, Miao Miao's "Wanwang Toy Store" made a profit three times more than the sponsorship from Li Lanzhen.

Li Lanzhen opened the first "Taohuayuan Grain Shop" in Youzhou City here.

The owner of that teahouse was a woman.

She is Mr. Xu’s granddaughter Zhihua.
