Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Everything is ready, the new shop is about to open, and Luo Hong is also ready to set off.

"The shop will open tomorrow, so I won't attend. It just so happens that the Su family caravan is also scheduled to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Lao Luo, don't worry about your family. Don't be afraid to save money when you go there. If you don't have enough money, tell your family and I'll ask the caravan to bring it to you."

Lin Weizhong told Lin Keyu to go see the world with him this time. He read books with Luo Hong and the other two every day. He was alone at home with no one to teach him or urge him to study, so he was afraid that he would easily slack off.

"When you go there, you must listen to your Grandpa Luo. Huang Wenyuan, you must follow him and don't let him run around alone. There are many people and things in the city, so it's better to be careful."

"Master, don't worry, I will follow you closely."

Now Lin Weizhong is the master of the family, and Liu's father is called Old Master, Master Luo, etc. In fact, they don't really understand them, and they have to learn and get used to these etiquettes slowly.

Lin Weizhong pulled Lin Keyu into the room alone. Liu Caixia had prepared a lot of things, which were gradually put into Lin Keyu's space. Lin Weizhong handed him the five hundred taels of silver notes and two hundred taels of loose change they had prepared, "You must keep them well. All the belongings are with you. Each of them only has a few taels of loose change for emergencies. Don't take them out easily."

"Dad, don't worry, I took it out when I have nothing to do. I will take it out only when it is useful."

"I was afraid you might be curious and want to count it, didn't I? Didn't you count your New Year's money when you had nothing to lose?"

"Hehehe..." It seems to be like that, counting money is really a happy thing.

"You are not going to take the exam this time, but to broaden your horizons and meet more people. Follow Grandpa Luo and your two brothers. Be more cautious in everything you do. Information and transportation are very blocked now. If you get lost, it will be very difficult to find you. You know that I didn't care about you much in the past, but now it's different, understand?"

Lin Keyu nodded seriously, "I know."

Liu Caixia asked her family to prepare a lot of braised meat these days, all of which were prepared according to the supply of two of the four shops, and she invited three aunts who had good relationships with the people nearby.

Every morning and afternoon, they come to help with the washing and cleaning, and they are paid two taels of silver a month. The three aunts are all honest people. Although their family lives well, who would complain about having too much money? When there is such a good thing, they naturally want to come. It is close to home and the work is easy.

The extra braised meat from the past few days was not sold, but Lin Keyu secretly stored it in the space. They would eat it on the way or take it out to have a snack when they got to the place.

On the opening day, the whole family got up early.

There are two carriages at home, one for Luo Hong and his team, and the other for delivering goods to two stores. Now that four stores need to deliver goods, it is definitely not enough.

So, on the morning of the opening day, Shen Wanshan sent someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to wait at the door of Liu's father's house.

Liu Bo has managed the two shops of Lin Weizhong very well these days. The daily sales of braised meat are roughly the same, and a few or ten cents a day is acceptable. It is also allowed for employees to make a little money according to the unspoken rules of the workplace.

"Old Luo, you must be careful on the road. If there is any problem when you get there, have someone send us a letter immediately. In your spare time, you can also learn about the situation in the county towns, prefecture towns, and state capitals along the way."

"I know. I asked them to write diaries along the way. They recorded every place they passed by in detail. Maybe they can publish a travel book in the future?"

"That's great. You can make money by publishing a book. When you finish your exams, you can also learn to write storybooks. That scumbag's picture books are selling like hot cakes. He probably made a lot of money. If Liu Qianxue knew about this, she would definitely be furious."

"It's better not to tell him. Such a scumbag is not worth our attention. As long as he doesn't show up in front of us, it has nothing to do with us what kind of life he leads. If I pass the imperial examination this time, I will go back to the academy in the city to teach. I can write books in my spare time. But I won't write things that are sensational."

"Then I wish you success in the college entrance examination and return to high school in advance."

"Okay, just make money!"

Lin Weizhong, Liu Caixia, Liu Xiaolu and others said goodbye to Luo Hong and his group.

The two carriages went their separate ways, one went to the city gate to meet up with the Su family caravan, and the other two went to the two shops that opened today.

Liu's father and his family didn't have to worry about the opening of the business at all. Shen Wanshan, an old businessman, had very little experience. He also used his connections to invite many dignitaries from the capital, who were dignitaries to Liu's father's family.

The wealthy businessmen in the provincial capital and some minor officials holding official positions in the government office.

The head clerk of the household department and several unfamiliar clerks all came to the store on Northwest Street with great respect.

As the hosts, Mr. Liu, Lin Weizhong and Liu Caixia also got to know and make friends with many people.

Father Liu and Liu Caixia specially prepared two tables for them. It was also because there was a house behind the shop that it was no problem to prepare two tables.

The other shop was not so good. There was only a kitchen at the back of the shop, and the water used in the shop had to be fetched from the well at the street entrance.

The environment around this shop is even more complicated, with people from all walks of life mixed together. The people working in the shop are all young and strong men, which is safe and convenient.

Father Liu served the last braised fish and sat between Shen Wansan and Lin Weizhong. The people seated were the household, military, criminal, engineering, and ritual officials. Only the clerk was unable to come today.

As for the prefect, Shen Wanshan really doesn't have the face to invite him over.

This is already good.

After Liu's father sat down, Shen Wanshan picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the opening of my store. I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

Father Liu and Lin Weizhong picked up their wine glasses, made a toasting gesture, and drank them in one gulp.

"Master Shen, congratulations!"

"Master Shen, my wife always praises this braised pork as delicious. She often sends her servants to queue up to buy it. Now two more shops have opened in the city. I hope there will be fewer people lining up in the future, so we can often buy it home as a side dish."

"Old He, just be content. I live on South Street, and the braised meat shops on South Street are much smaller than those on North Street. You often can't buy anything there."

Father Liu: "My lords, if you want to eat braised meat in the future, please send someone to the store near Beishan Academy to let them know. I can't guarantee more, but I can still spare some two or three pounds. Just send someone to find Lao Zhao, and I will give them a heads up. Just ask the servants at home to go over and tell them."

"Thank you, Master Liu. Master Liu's business is growing bigger and bigger. I heard that he even bought two farms of Master Shen's family in the suburbs of the city."

"It's thanks to these two farms, otherwise Mr. Shen and I would not have the fate to do business together. I am a farmer, and my family has made a living by farming for generations. The farm is naturally more important than other things. In the future, the farm will also grow some fresh vegetables and fruits. When they are ripe, you are welcome to come to the farm to play and taste them."

Father Liu was gradually getting used to these polite words. After a lunch of pleasantries, both the host and the guests were very happy.

"Thank you all for taking the time to honor me. Take care, everyone." Shen Wanshan and Father Liu escorted them to the carriage. They were all on duty and only came out for lunch.
