Chapter 749: make a living
Li Haitang reflected on herself, she was just lazy and didn't want to bother about some things, but this trip to Kyoto didn't actually experience anything, so she suddenly thought about it for no reason.
Making money is the top priority, no matter how good the reputation is, it is useless without money.
She didn't plan to make a profit in the medical center, but she didn't want to lose too much, so she couldn't keep holding her back. Everything must be done too late, and she must be in control.
For poor families, the consultation fee and medicinal materials should be reduced or exempted, and the credit can be credited, and then the money will be made up when it is affluent. You can’t always feel that your home is a charity hall. After all, her strength is not enough to let the common people The degree of public health care.
Li Haitang still had some money in her hand, most of which was earned by her savage husband. Part of her consultation fee was jewelry, and the other part was gold and silver, which was almost invested in Yue Hetang in the later stage.
This time she came to the capital, not to mention that she could do a lot of work, but she had already thought of several ideas, and if she had the chance, she would definitely make a fortune.
"Miss, what are you thinking?"
From entering the inn just now, Xiao Lingchuan found that his wife had been distracted, and she didn't even hear the bean bag asking for a fan.
He had no choice but to take Li Haitang's round fan and fan the bean buns all at once. He didn't know what to do with the energetic little buns, so he quickly coaxed them to sleep, and he would reap a wave of rewards at night.
"Thinking about making money."
Li Haitang raised her head and blinked her eyes. She realized that she was making money with a hammer and a stick, but she didn't find the point at all.
If you want to make a lot of money, there is no way out, and it is impossible without a background, so you can only accumulate bit by bit. In short, the family needs manpower now.
In Kyoto, it is impossible for a family to live in Zhuangzi all the time, and they have to buy private property. The land in Kyoto is very expensive. I heard that a second-entry house in the inner city costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and many officials cannot buy it. From the beginning, living in a small courtyard with a family is not as comfortable as an old farmer in the country.
"The location of Jiqiu's shop is good, next to an academy in Kyoto."
As soon as it got dark, Xiao Lingchuan felt a little restless. He tried his best to stabilize his mind, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the box, sat opposite his wife, and drew the layout around the shop.
Li Haitang rested his chin in one hand, the savage husband lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, the last afterglow of the setting sun hit him, half of his face, reflected in the fiery red halo, made his cold and hard outline slightly softer Some.
The scar at the corner of his eye was hidden in the shadow on the other side, and the whole body exuded a faint mint fragrance.
Li Haitang fixed her gaze on Xiao Lingchuan's purse again. Inside was the mint leaves she put in. If the two of them were out of the house, the mint leaves could also repel mosquitoes and soak in water to relieve the heat.
"Miss, look."
In just a few breaths, Xiao Lingchuan had already drawn the location of Ji Qiu's shop.
The wine shop is close to a bustling street in the outer city of Kyoto, and not far from the street is one of the most famous academies in Kyoto, Songhe Academy.
"Songhe Academy? I seem to have heard my cousin mention it."
It turned out that the head of the Songhe Academy was her grandfather Ruan Lao Shangshu, and he changed people later. It is said that many of the students who came out of Songhe Academy were able to pass the Jinshi examination and be sent to be officials, which is second only to the Imperial Academy.
Songhe Academy is not closed. Of course, there are also houses for accommodation, which is convenient for students coming from afar.
Most people study in the academy, come in the morning and go back in the evening. Many families nearby are renting houses, and family members come to accompany me to study.
Therefore, the street where Jiqiu Wine Shop is located is bustling, surrounded by restaurants, bookstores, restaurants, pen, ink, paper and inkstone shops, grocery stores, and so on, it is like a business district in the surrounding area.
"Yes, it's that academy."
Xiao Lingchuan nodded. Although Songhe Academy is well-known, they all have to rely on their real talents to get in. Of course, there are also some rich children from wealthy families who came through the back door.
Among the scholars, the family is poor, like Lu Yuanqing, but the Lu family's conditions can be regarded as a wealthy family in the village.
At least the Lu family has property and a house. Lu Yuanqing is studying and can afford Shuxiu. If the family is too poor and cannot afford food, how can they pay for the various expenses of pen, ink, paper and inkstone?
Printing in this era is mainly woodblock printing, a book, a mold, and a huge amount of manpower and material resources are invested. Because of the high cost in the early stage, the template can only be used for a book, so that the cost is greatly increased. , but also a few taels of silver.
For the ordinary ones at home, you can only buy old books used by others, which is relatively cheap.
In short, those who can come to Songhe Academy to study are not really poor. There are very few people in the village, unless they are the sons of landlords.
"Scholars like to be arty and elegant. Baihua wine has a low alcohol content and a strong aroma without being intoxicating. Therefore, Ji Qiu's business is going well."
It was Ji Qiu's deliberate decision to sell a well-run liquor store. He discussed with Lan Yi, and both of them didn't like a complicated environment, especially when Lan Yi used to work as a maid in Zhang's family. She didn't really want to go back to the capital either. .
Ji Qiu also had the same thought. After running around and working hard, he only wanted his wife and children to be hot on the bed. Now that he has everything, he just wanted to stay away from the place of right and wrong.
The shop was left open, but he had no intention of managing it. His subordinates were big-hearted, cheated and cheated, and withheld money behind their backs. He really couldn't manage it.
"I always feel like I'm taking advantage."
Li Haitang could only give Ji Qiu a high price based on the market price in Kyoto. After she became the owner of the shop, there would be very little money left.
Fortunately, there is a sum of money that Tassel invested in the Charity Hall in her hand. The Charity Hall didn't need that much in the early stage, so she can lend some, and then make up for it when the turnover comes back.
When the shop opens, she will write to Tassel to explain.
"Miss, have you thought about what kind of business you want to do?"
Seeing that his wife was interested, Xiao Lingchuan strongly supported her. He thought she was a three-minute favorite, just like a medical clinic, and became the shopkeeper in less than a month.
In short, as long as the lady is happy, if she loses money, the worst thing is that he is trying to make some money.
"There are academies around. It would be best to open a Chu Pavilion, but I don't know where to find those girls."
As Li Haitang said, he stood up and bent over, hooking the savage husband's chin with his hands, "Come on, give me a laugh!"
Xiao Lingchuan raised his head, his eyes were deep, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
His gaze was captivating, staring at Li Haitang's collar, he squinted his eyes.
"No, not sure."
Li Haitang surrendered very spinelessly. She learned a lesson last time. She teased her savage husband. Of course, he was very cooperative. Without saying a word, he tore her dress from the collar and threw her directly. to bed.
On the second day, her back was sore and her legs hurt, and she lay down until noon. Thinking of his miserable experience, Li Haitang felt that he could not turn over.
