Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 369 Planning

After the self-defense matter was settled, Song Ying thought of another thing his master mentioned last night and said, "I thought carefully about the shop last night. Why don't we just buy a shop?"

"Buy a shop?" Luo Yanxing was surprised. "Didn't you say you would rent a shop after things get stable?"

Buying is much more expensive than renting.

Song Ying nodded, "Yes, it's to buy a shop. Didn't you say that your parents have been pestering you for the 50 taels of silver? Just use it to buy a shop so that they don't have to worry about it. Besides, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. If you have a shop, you don't have to run back and forth every day, and I can move out of Shen Mansion."

"But can 50 taels buy a suitable shop?" Luo Yanxing was a little tempted. Ever since his parents knew that he had the money, they wanted to take it away every few days with various reasons. Once, they even searched through all the drawers and cabinets when he was not at home. Fortunately, he was cautious and hid it in the mountains. Later, after he started the pancreas business, he simply put it in Huichuntang.

It would be great if I could use the money to buy a shop and no longer have to worry about them leaving.

But 50 taels of silver is enough to buy a house in the city, but it is not enough to buy a shop facing the street where you can sell things.

"Let's buy it together!" Song Ying carefully counted his belongings. "I was nearly burned to death before, and the Shen government gave me 20 taels of silver as compensation, and a special 50 taels. I got more than 3 taels from selling pancreas this month, and I still have more than 7 taels left from my previous savings. Together, I can come up with 80 taels."

Luo Yanxing's eyes lit up. Although she was responsible for the food, drink and entertainment of all the sisters during the Lantern Festival, she actually didn't spend much money that day, not even one tael of silver.

She had only a little over 3 taels of money left from collecting herbs, as she gave half of it to her family, and spent some on buying a snow coat for herself and adding makeup for Sister Xiao Cui. However, the 5 strings of money that Manager Qi compensated her with yesterday was worth at least 5 taels and 500 coins in silver.

In addition, she got the biggest share from selling the pancreas, about 5 taels. All in all, she could take out about 63 taels of silver. In this way, the two of them could pool 143 taels of silver. They couldn't choose a particularly good location, but it was no problem to find an ordinary one!

"Wait a minute, you've lived in the city for so long and bought food every day, how come you still have 7 taels of money left from the money you saved before?" Luo Yanxing looked at Song Ying suspiciously. When the matter was exposed and she was separated from her family, she had about 7 taels of money in her hand.

"You forgot that I received a month's salary from Shen's Mansion. Although the money I earned from acupuncture was small, I ate and lived in Shen's Mansion, so I basically had nothing to spend money on."

"The Shen Mansion is still providing you with meals?" Luo Yanxing was shocked. Song Ying had not worked in the Shen Mansion for a long time, but they were still providing you with meals!

Seeing Song Ying nod, she wanted to say that the Shen family was really generous and kind, but then she thought of that Shun'an County Master, who almost beat a maid to death with just one sentence.

Finally, after holding it in for a long time, he said, "This Shen Mansion is really hard to comment on!"

Song Ying did not comment, "Have you noticed that the majority of our money comes from the money these wealthy families give us."

Luo Yanxing thought about it and realized that it was true. They worked hard for more than a year and lived frugally to earn only a few taels of silver, and that was because collecting herbs was very profitable.

She sighed a few times. "Anyway, it's a good thing for us. We can come up with 143 taels in total. We should be able to buy a nice shop, right?"

Lin Wenxuan listened to them counting their assets with great interest, and then said, "I say, you two, how could you forget me when buying a shop?"

"Brother, do you want to pay too? That's a bit of a loss for you. We bought this shop not only to sell pancreas, but also to live in it, and you can't live with us."

After hearing this, Luo Yanxing was even happier. Since she was very young, the most uncomfortable thing for her every day was that she and Song Ying and Xiaoxiang had to go back to their separate homes in the evening and could not sleep together.

She had fantasized countless times before, if only her neighbors were not Xiaohua's family, but Song Ying or Xiaoxiang's family. Even after returning home, they could still talk to them from time to time, and maybe even sweep the yard together across the fence.

Now it’s ok, we can be together at night later!

After a while of being happy, she realized the problem, "But we are both unmarried girls, without any elders around, living alone like this, it's not good for our reputation, right?"

"I've thought about this too. Let my second aunt live with us."

With the elders around, his reputation was justified, and Luo Yanxing became happy again.

Seeing that the topic had deviated again, Lin Wenxuan had no choice but to say again: "We are in this soap business together, so I will naturally pay for the shop."

"Okay! Then you can come along, and we'll look around the shops first, and then we'll negotiate the price and then we'll discuss how much each person should pay."

"If I open a shop, would it be bad to only sell two kinds of goods? Do you have other methods of making ointments and rouge?"

"Let's discuss this later. It's getting late. Yanxing, you should go back quickly. Hey, Aunt Chen is still waiting. I have to go call my uncle!" Thinking of Aunt Chen who was still waiting, Song Ying hurried to the clinic.

Luo Yanxing thought about it and decided that this matter really could not be rushed. He had to find a shop first. There would be plenty of time to discuss these things later, so he said goodbye and hurried home.

When Song Ying dragged Doctor Ma to the next door, Aunt Chen was already closing her shop. Seeing Song Ying, she complained, "Why did you take so long? I was planning to close my shop and go to your clinic."

Song Ying smiled embarrassedly, "I was talking to Yan Xing and Senior Brother about something, and I forgot about it while talking. Please forgive me, Auntie."

Doctor Ma felt his pulse and asked, "Have you had trouble eating, dry throat, headache, or restless sleep recently?"

Aunt Chen thought for a moment, "I'm fine eating, and my throat isn't dry, but I've been having dreams every day, and when I go to sleep at night, it's like I'm fighting. I'm really not sleeping well. Doctor Ma, is my illness serious?"

Ma Dada pinched his beard to comfort him: "It's not serious, just a little gallbladder heat. I'll get you some Suanzaoren Pills."

Aunt Chen was relieved and said with emotion: "This is actually a disease because of too many dreams and restless sleep."

"Auntie, feel my pulse again." Song Ying had been waiting anxiously. Now that he knew it was a real heat, he wanted to feel the pulse again and remember the strength firmly.

Anyway, the store was about to close, so Aunt Chen was happy to let her learn. She held out her hand and said, "Song Ying, you must study hard. If I have a headache or fever in the future, I will come to you."

"Okay!" Song Ying agreed and felt the pulse carefully. "Master, since it's gallbladder heat, we should focus on the Guanshang pulse on the left hand, right?"

Doctor Ma nodded with satisfaction, secretly sighing that Song Ying, his nephew, was indeed more talented than his disciple and could understand things at once.
