Chapter 120 Li Qiao Can Make Money But He Has No Children

Although he didn't intend to buy Mr. Lu's land, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to Guanfang Ya after get off work in the afternoon.

He used the excuse that he wanted to buy a field closer to Shengjing, so he refused to buy Lord Lu's small village.

After coming out of Guanfang Ya, Tao Zhu got into the ox cart, and he couldn't help sighing as soon as he was next to the carriage.

"Why doesn't anyone sell the land?"

Seeing his frowning eyebrows, Li Qiao couldn't help but raised his hand and pressed on the center of his brows, trying to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows: "If our family has land, if it's no big deal , will you sell the land?"

Tao Zhu blinked his eyes when he heard the words: "What are you talking about?"

"Resignation, or ransacking the house."

Li Qiao said and sat down beside him.

The land in Shengjing is so valuable, unless they never return to Shengjing in this life, otherwise, who would be willing to sell it.

Tao Zhu: "..."

He clasped his hands together, with a pious expression on his face: "Then let nature take its course, we don't particularly want to buy land."

Li Qiao was amused by his reaction, stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, and said : "It may also be that the businessman's management is not good, or he wants to please me, a low-rank official, so he sold his own land." "...

We really don't really want to buy land."

Tao Zhu still clasped his hands together with an expression on his face. A little more pious.

Either it was miserable or the purpose was not pure, he and Li Qiao didn't want to get involved in these things.

It is very difficult to buy a field.

Li Qiao looked at his expression, couldn't bear it anymore, leaned over to kiss his cheek.

His bamboo brother is so cute.

Tao Zhu was slightly frightened by his action, subconsciously looked ahead, but the carriage door was not closed.

Guanfangya is quite close to the inner city. Although there are few people around here, there are still people on the road.

"It's okay, there's no one in front." Li Qiao took his hand and shook it lightly: "I'm sensible."

He and Tao Zhu often held hands in front of the people in Sanliu Village, that's because Sanliu Village is a In his territory, the folks won't talk nonsense.

In Shengjing, there were too many people who harbored ill intentions towards him, so how could he be caught by the pigtails.

He would not let Tao Zhu be exposed to indecent criticism.

Tao Zhu looked at the empty cobblestone road in front of him, and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Li Dashan, who was driving the car in front, coughed: "I'll close the door of the carriage for you."

He turned around and closed the door of the carriage as he spoke.

The light in the carriage suddenly dimmed.

Li Qiao laughed softly, stretched out his arms to wrap around Tao Zhu's waist, and put his whole body on Tao Zhu's body. After working all day, he missed Brother Zhu.

"Add a chicken leg to Dashan tonight."

Trapped by him, Tao Zhu stretched out a hand and patted him on the back, then smiled, "Add two more." We

haven't seen each other for about six hours, and he also wants to be with him. Li Qiao kissed and touched.

When Li Dashan heard his uncle Zhu's words, he immediately flicked the whip in his hand, he was waiting to eat chicken legs tonight, he and Qianqian were alone!

However, he didn't go home directly, but drove the ox cart to the duck store.

His uncle wants to see the situation here.

Li Qiao wanted to use the duck store to show the people of Shengjing his ability to make money, so he naturally had to do a field trip.

The duck shop is also on the main street in the northern part of the city. It has two floors with a yard, and it cost twelve thousand taels of silver.

The price is so high, so the location is not bad. The shop is at the intersection of the main street, and there are two alleys on both sides. Seriously, this is a crossroad with a lot of traffic.

This was originally a restaurant, and the original owner was not good at managing the business, so he planned to rent it out. But when he learned that Li Qiao wanted to buy the restaurant, the original owner changed his mind and sold it by renting it out, and even planned to lower the price.

Li Qiao never took advantage of others. After he made it clear that he would remember this kind of favor, after some pushback, he finally bought the shop at the market price.

Although it has not opened yet, every part of the shop is cleaned up.

Taozhu has very high requirements on hygiene, even if it is not open, it has to be cleaned every morning and evening.

Li Qiao walked around the shop and was very satisfied.

He is also very satisfied with the prosperity of the country, the prosperity of the people, the smooth weather, and the titles on the gold list. When he and Tao Zhu bought people, they deliberately picked people who looked honest and obedient. Now after Tao Zhu's training, these twelve and a half children are even more obedient. up.

However, the National Wealth of the People's Security, Feng Tiao Yu Shun Jinbang titles, plus Li Dashan and Tao Zhu, there are only fourteen people.

With fourteen people running such a large shop, the manpower is a little short.

Coming out of the shop and getting into the ox cart, Li Qiao asked Tao Zhu, "Why don't we ask Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun? See if they are willing to work in the shop." After

Zhuang Wen went to work every day, Zhuang Quanzhou Yun stayed at home to do housework, and the manor often wandered around, but the couple seldom went out.

They don't need to open a shop, and they don't need to paint clothes every day like Shen Hua, so they are still free.

"Okay." Tao Zhu had no objection.

So Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went directly to Zhuang Wen's house.

Zhuang Wen just bought a house, and the three moved into it. Although it is not in the same alley as Li Qiao's house, the distance is still relatively close.

Zhuang Wen heard Li Qiao and Tao Zhu say what he wanted to do, and before Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun could answer, he decided for the two of them.

"The two of them are still staying at home. Why don't they go out to work and earn some money. The new house cost 2,300 taels of silver, which is using the family's old resources." Although the dealer is a small landlord, he has accumulated over the

years Some silver, but before Li Qiao made vermicelli, the farmer could only save more than 200 taels of silver every year relying on the income from the field. If there was a famine, this figure would have to be reduced.

In the past few years, because of the sweet potato vermicelli, the family has saved more money.

But the key point is that Zhuang Wen has been spending the family's money all these years. The dealer has no family division. He was studying before, and now he is buying a house. The whole dealer counts him as the best spender.

Although you can receive a salary of one hundred and fifty taels a month, since the Liqiao Taozhu shop is short of manpower, and Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun have nothing serious to do at home except housework, it is better to go to the shop to help .

well.

The couple have been married for several years, but they have never had children—his eldest grandson was born to his second son.

Now Zhou Yun is under a lot of pressure, going out to do things is better than staying at home and thinking wildly.

Zhou Yun and Zhuang Quan nodded when they saw Zhuang Wen's reckless promise.

Knowing that Zhuang Quan and Zhou Yun's work and rest are the same as his own, Li Qiao Taozhu set a relatively short working time for them, and they can go home at noon.

The couple should not be allowed to delay the business of the dealer because of the duck store.

Two more people were added, but the personal problems of Li Ershan and Li Xia could not be ignored, so before leaving, Li Qiao specifically asked Zhuang Wen to pay attention to Li Ershan and Li Xia.

After Li Dashan mentioned this matter yesterday, at the dinner table in the evening, Li Qiao asked Li Ershan and Li Xia for their opinions, wanting to know what kind of other half they like.

The answers of the two are quite consistent:

it looks pleasing to the eye.

The two of them don't pay much attention to any family background, the only requirement is to look pleasing to the eye.

This request is actually more difficult than asking a lot of requests, but a major event in a lifetime must be satisfied by these two people.

So, when returning from the Zhuang's house, they passed Xu Ying and Shen painter, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu got out of the bullock cart, and repeated to Xu Ying what they had asked Zhuang Wen just now.

Zhuang Wen and Xu Ying stayed in the capital for a short time. Like Li Qiao, they knew few people. Therefore, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu didn't go home directly after Xu Ying and Shen painter came out, but went to Han's house.

Although the Han family knew mostly merchants, Li Qiao was a young official, and Li Ershan and Li Xia, as his nephews, had limited choices.

It would be great if you could get married with a rich businessman.

The next day, he went to work in the Imperial Academy, and at noon, Xin Zhi and Li Qiao had dinner together again.

Today Li Qiao didn't bring any snacks, but some duck products.

Tao Zhu and Li Dashan made a lot of duck products for practice, not only for their own family to eat, but also sent a lot to the dealer, Xu Ying, Shen Hua, Meng Yue, and Han's family.

Naturally, Li Qiao also had to consume. He brought Xin Zhi a food box and asked Xin Zhi to take it home.

After Xin Zhi tasted the duck, he really fell in love with it.

However, last night when he asked his grandfather if he could tell Li Qiao what happened back then, his grandfather immediately shook his head, saying that the family scandal must not be exposed.

"Brother Li, you can only bear with your curiosity for now." He patted Li Qiao's shoulder and said.

Li Qiao understood his privacy very well.

He smiled and said, "Then when the duck store opens, you must join us." "

Sure! I love this!"

Xin Zhi nodded fiercely.

In fact, he doesn't like to eat dim sum very much. Apart from being sweet, there is no other taste in dim sum.

But the duck product is different, it is spicy and spicy, and he fell in love with it after only one taste.

When Li Qiao took another bath, it was winter.

The duck store is open.

Han's Stew Restaurant and Li's Dim Sum Shop advertised two days in advance, so, early in the morning, after the firecrackers were set off, many people immediately entered the Li's Duck Shop.

Although it was the first day of business and there were few people, Tao Zhu took people to cook 200 ducks one day in advance, and also prepared some vegetarian dishes.

Anyway, the weather is cold now, and the ducks are fine for a day and a night.

There are two hundred ducks, twenty of which are made into roast ducks, and one is worth two taels of silver.

The remaining 180 were chopped into eight pieces and sold according to their parts.

A catty of duck necks in Pingcheng is eighty-eight Wen, but here is Shengjing, not only the ducks are more expensive than those in Sanliu Village, but this shop alone costs more than ten thousand taels of silver, so the price of duck necks is higher than that of Wangyue Tower. To be tall, one catty is one hundred and thirty-eight wen.

Correspondingly, the prices of duck intestines, duck wings, duck collarbone, duck feet, etc. are higher than those in Pingcheng.

With such a high price, ordinary people must not be able to afford it.

However, duck food was not a cheap snack in Li Qiao's previous life. Now in Dasheng, everything is done by hand, so the price cannot be lowered.

Those who can come in and spend money have a good family background.

Li Qiao is an official at this time, so naturally he can't greet guests directly as he did when he was in Sanliu Village, and Tao Zhu, as an official husband, can't directly invite guests either.

The husband and wife sat on the second floor, watching Li Dashan, Zhuang Quan, Zhou Yun, and Zhuang Zhuang busy with their titles on the National Wealth and Minan An Feng Tiao Yu Shun Gold List.

The manor had nothing to do today, so they came to help.

Since they have set up a two-story store to sell duck products, the space must be utilized. Therefore, in addition to duck products, Liqiao Taozhu also made hot drinks.

Five grain soy milk, walnut/red date sesame paste, corn juice.

The diners want to drink whichever they want.

There are hot drinks, and many diners choose to dine in.

Duck is spicy, so when you eat it and take a sip of the sweet hot drink, it feels really good.

Some diners were originally full of disdain for duck products. Although they had heard of the reputation of duck product workshops before, ducks, no matter how many tricks there are, are still ducks. Moreover, duck necks and internal organs were not suitable for them before. mouth.

Today, I came here to spend more money because of Li Qiao's reputation.

As for the duck itself, they didn't have much expectations.

But who would have thought that these parts, which were not suitable for their mouths before, could have such a delicious taste!

Spicy and delicious, with one bite, the taste that has never been tasted before crushes the mouth strongly and goes straight to the brain, making them eat one after another involuntarily!

It's so addicting.

Absolutely!

Many diners have to take away after tasting.

This kind of spicy food is not only liked by women and younger brothers, but men can also use it to drink.

In this case, two hundred ducks, as well as vegetarian dishes and hot drinks, were sold out before noon.

The duck shop closed when it was sold out, and the diners who came late saw only the closed shop door and the sold out notice hanging on the door.

Sold out?

Many diners opened their eyes wide, a little in disbelief.

The business of Li's dim sum shop is also very good, but the dim sum at the dim sum shop is usually sold out in the afternoon, and they are always in stock at noon.

Why are the duck products in the duck shop sold out at noon?

Do you want to be so exaggerated!

I felt exaggerated in my heart, but many people couldn't help but go early the next day. Since it sold out so fast, it means the taste is good!

As a result, the business on the second day was even better.

In addition to the diners who tasted yesterday, there is also a wave of diners who could not eat yesterday.

But because the duck store was short of manpower, only a hundred ducks were prepared on the second day.

There are few ducks, but there are many diners. They want to eat more if they can't eat it, and they want to eat it even if they have eaten it.

By the time Li Qiao took another rest, the entire duck shop had already become famous in Shengjing.

Even some colleagues in the Imperial Academy urged him to buy more people so that he could make more duck products.

Li Qiao agreed with a smile, and carried it out.

But those Ren Yazi didn't have any candidates that satisfied him and Tao Zhu, so he didn't pay any money.

I would rather not buy it than those that are inappropriate, so as not to cause trouble after I buy it back.

One week after opening, at night, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu sat by candles to settle accounts.

The ducks in Sanliu Village usually weigh two or three catties, and there is a second-rate dealer in Wangyuelou, so the average net profit of a duck in the duck workshop is 100 yuan.

The price of raw materials in Shengjing is high, but there are no middlemen, and the selling price is high, so if you put aside the shop and buy people's money, then the net profit of a duck is about 300 yuan.

Now the duck store works overtime every day, and can make a hundred ducks, so the net profit per day is thirty taels.

but!

To Li Qiao's and Tao Zhu's surprise, the profit of hot drinks was almost the same as that of duck products.

The hot drink is purely handmade, plus the exclusive secret recipe of Liqiao Taozhu, so the price is expensive, and ordinary people are absolutely reluctant to pay for it.

For example, a bowl of 500ml five-grain soy milk is priced at 38 Wen.

Liqiao's five-grain soy milk is real five-grain, and it has added sugar.

In Shengjing, no one provided him with maltose at a cost price, so he could buy maltose and other sugars at the market price.

When serving hot drinks to diners, they will also ask diners how much sugar they want. There are high-priced sugars, so the price of thirty-eight yuan a bowl is not outrageous.

In fact, the hot drinks in the duck workshop are all made with a stone mill, not with a meat grinder as in the past.

There is no big difference in taste between the two, but stone grinding is faster, and after grinding, it can be cooked in a large pot, barely keeping up with the consumption of diners.

Corn juice is more complicated. The ingredients in it include glutinous rice and milk, so it is more expensive. A bowl costs 88 Wen.

The taste of these hot drinks is very good, even if some women and brothers don't eat duck products, they are willing to enter the store to drink hot drinks.

So, calculated this week, the daily net profit of hot drinks is about the same as that of duck products, which is almost thirty taels a day.

In addition, add some vegetarian dishes, such as tofu, potatoes, kelp, etc. The net profit of vegetarian dishes is low, but the quantity is large, and the daily profit is almost ten taels.

Adding these three kinds together, the daily net profit is properly seventy taels.

Seventy taels a day, then two thousand one hundred taels a month.

This is still a case of insufficient manpower, and the duck and hot drinks are sold out every day. If there are more manpower, then this number can be doubled.

A duck store has such a high profit.

Looking at the numbers on the account book, Tao Zhu couldn't help sighing: "There are so many rich people in Shengjing. Now I feel that the floor is full of silver, let's pick it up."

Li Qiao was amused by his metaphor, but it was very vivid. Well, for Li Qiao, a time traveler, Shengjing is really full of money.

It's not just Li Qiao and Tao Zhu who think so, anyone who knows a little about the profit of a duck shop—knowing the raw materials and prices, can easily calculate the approximate profit of a duck shop.

Before Li Qiao, these people really didn't know that money in Shengjing was so easy to earn!

Li Qiao is really a walking God of Wealth.

However, this God of Wealth has been married to Tao Zhu for five years and has no son yet!

This...

Today, Li Qiao went to work as usual.

In winter, the weather is a lot colder, and today it is raining lightly, which adds to the dampness.

The room he was in was quite big, and there were only him, Lord Li, and Lord Duan in it. Even with the doors and windows closed, a little cold wind would blow into the room along the cracks.

Soon it was noon, and Xin Zhi came again while eating.

Today's lunch is still a bit salty. After eating a dry lunch, Li Qiao desperately misses takeaway—he wants a bowl of his own hot drink right now.

Just thinking about it, Xin Zhi patted him on the shoulder and signaled him to go out: "Let's go out and take a walk in the corridor to refresh ourselves."

Li Qiao glanced at the gloomy weather outside, and followed.

Sure enough, standing in the corridor, Xin Zhi looked around, found no one else, so he leaned up to Li Qiao, and said softly, "Well... I've heard some rumors about you in the past two days."

"What rumor?" Li Qiao asked hurriedly.

"That is... that is to say, you have been married to your husband for so long but have no children, but you have shown a deep affection for your husband and have not taken concubines. This may be..." Xin Zhi pursed his lower lip, and when Li Qiao urged her

, In his eyes, he pointed to Li Qiao: "Maybe it's because you can't have children..."

Li Qiao: "?"

A classic emoji instantly appeared in his mind: Grandpa on the subway looking at his phone.

What is this?
