After becoming the villain's eldest sister, I take charge of the whole family

Xie Linghe stopped and looked at her.

Liu Sanniang didn't dare to say any more nonsense and directly told the actual price: "You are right. Although the Sun's grain and oil shop has a good location, it has a bad reputation. Businessmen pay attention to this most, so they have greatly reduced the price. It only costs eighty taels of silver to buy it."

Xie Linghe was a little tempted, but pretended to frown: "Eighty taels?"

"oops!"

Liu Sanniang said earnestly, "Thank you, Miss. If you were to open a shop this big in the county, it would cost at least two hundred taels of silver. Now it's only eighty. It's hard to find one even with a lantern."

You also know it's the county.

Can the housing prices in Changhai Town be compared with those in the county?

but.

Xie Linghe didn't refute it, pretending to be tempted yet hesitant: "If it's cheaper, I'll buy it."

The Sun family’s grain and oil shop has three shops, plus a backyard, with an area of ​​at least 400 square meters, so 80 taels of silver is not a loss.

Compared with the initial price of 120 taels of silver, it was reduced by one third, which was a huge price drop.

"This……"

Liu Sanniang gritted her teeth and said, "How about this, seventy-five taels of silver, no less."

Xie Linghe nodded quickly: "Deal."

Taking out two fifty-liang silver notes, Liu Sanniang found two ten-liang silver notes, and the rest were five-liang silver coins.

Paid the money.

After obtaining the house deeds and land deeds, this shop that originally belonged to the Sun family now belongs to Xie Linghe.

Very quickly.

The reason for this is that the shop was confiscated by the government and then handled by the pawnshop.

therefore.

There is no need to meet with the homeowner to negotiate the price, which saves a lot of time.

……

Sun’s Grain and Oil Shop.

Standing outside the door, looking at the plaque above his head that had not yet been removed, Xie Linghe felt very subtle.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, I became the owner of this store?

Liu Sanniang also gave the key.

She walked forward and opened the door, and was immediately hit by a musty smell.

The store was empty.

Also.

When the government investigates and cracks down on shops, they will naturally take away the valuables and sell them off. How could they be so kind as to leave them to her?

Fortunately.

Everything on the shelves is left as is. If you were to open a grain and oil store, you could just clean it up and reopen it.

Xie Linghe walked around the shop and muttered to himself, "What kind of business is this?"

She owns a farm where she grows rice, and there are orange trees on the mountain. Although the oranges are very sour, she has developed a fertilizer that can make the oranges sweeter when buried at the roots of the trees.

now.

It has been more than two months.

Because of the flood.

The rice in Zhuangzi is late rice and will not mature until early October, which is next month.

The normal ripening season for oranges is also October, but the oranges in the wild orange groves are not taken care of, lack nutrition, grow slowly, and are almost ripe in November.

Xie Linghe had an idea: "I'll open a grain shop and sell the rice I grow myself. During the orange season, I'll sell some oranges. I'll strive to produce and sell my own food. This way, I'll have enough food to sell all year round and won't have to buy food from other people."

The more she talked about it, the more she felt it was right: "Most importantly, selling these things is easy. I can just hire anyone and it won't be hard work. Anyway, I don't plan to make a fortune from this..."

At this time.

A surprised voice appeared in her ear: "Miss Xie, why are you in there?"

Xie Linghe hurried over to look.

Eyes facing each other.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Qian Gou? What a coincidence, why are you here too?"

Qian Gou walked in and looked at everything familiar in the store with a look of melancholy.

Simultaneously.

He also didn't forget to answer Xie Linghe: "Ever since the incident at the Sun family's grain and oil shop, I haven't had a job."

"These days, I'm looking for work but no one wants to..."

At this point, he suddenly realized something and abruptly changed the subject: "Why am I here? I don't know why I ended up here today, haha~"

Actually not.

Sun's grain and oil shop was selling moldy rice, so he acted as a messenger of justice and reported the owner. The government and the people praised him highly.

but.

The merchants in the town all avoided him, and no one was willing to take him in.

Fortunately, he had some money, which lasted him for two months. However, as he watched the money he had, which was already little, become less and less, he became more and more anxious. He was also afraid that his father would notice and worry, so he went out early every morning, saying that he was meeting friends, but in fact he was looking for a job.

pity.

After so long, he still hasn't found a job.

When he went out today, he was originally going to look for a job, but suddenly he felt irritated and unknowingly walked to Sun's Grain and Oil Shop.

honestly.

When he couldn't find a job these days, he also fantasized that if he didn't report the Sun family, they would get away and he could still have a stable job.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

But unexpectedly, when he approached Sun’s grain and oil shop this time, he saw the door open.

moment.

His reaction was that there was a new owner.

At last.

I couldn't help but walk forward and stick my head out to take a look inside, and as a result, I saw someone who was very familiar.

Closer to home.

Listening to his pretended relaxed laughter, Xie Linghe also guessed what he was not saying.

No one asked him to work?

Can understand.

The interests of the people and the interests of businessmen are always in conflict.

The fact that Qian Gou came forward to report shows that he is a good person with bottom line and conscience.

and so……

Xie Linghe got straight to the point: "Qian Gou, I've bought this shop. I'm planning to open a grain store. Would you like to come work in my shop?"

Hear the words.

Qian Gou was stunned and looked at her without blinking.

Xie Linghe: "How is it?"

Qian Gou came back to his senses and nodded quickly: "Yes, I do, I do!"

"Well."

Xie Linghe nodded in satisfaction: "From today on, you will be the owner of the grain store."

Qian Gou had just digested one piece of news when another piece of news caught him off guard: "Boss?"

"Ah."

Xie Linghe: "I won't be staying in this grain store permanently. You'll be in charge of managing it from now on... By the way, do you know how to keep accounts?"

"I can settle the accounts."

Qian Gou replied, "Sun Jiye used to be in charge of the accounting... Sun Jiye was in charge of it personally. I was only responsible for recording the amount of grain sold each day."

Xie Linghe praised him without reservation: "He can do the math and remember the quantities, which is pretty good."

This made her overjoyed.

The illiteracy rate among the lower classes in ancient times was truly terrifying.

It is good enough for a village to have one or two literate people.

Speaking of it.

The cultural level of Xinghua Village is the highest among the villages under Changhai Town.

“It’s not difficult to keep accounts.”

"I can teach you."

"From now on, you will be responsible for the account keeping, and I will find someone else to help you."

Hear the words.

Qian Gou was surprised and delighted: "Thank you, boss."

Boss?

I love to hear this word.

"I'm planning to open the shop in early October. How about this? I'll come every other morning to teach you how to keep accounts, starting at 9:00 PM, for an hour each time."

Qian Gou nodded heavily: "I remember it."

Xie Linghe: "Okay, starting from tomorrow."

"Yes, boss."
