Chapter 111 Interest in Zhuangzi
End of July!
Lin Lin and Lin Ting took down the accounts of Chiyulou and found that the popularity of Chayulou this month had greatly increased their income.
After deducting the working capital, the two of them still had more than 1,900 taels of silver in net profit.
"Sister, pay Xiaofu and the others their wages later. Let's close the shop for a day tomorrow!"
After working so hard for so long with no holidays, Lin Ting felt that it was necessary to arrange some reasonable rest time for employees.
"Yeah! This month is indeed tiring. We can close the store tomorrow, but it's better for us to rotate our holidays in the future, otherwise it will affect our customers."
Lin Lin is the type who cannot sit still, but more importantly, she still has to consider Tea House.
Since everyone has no time to rest, she can hire one or two more people, and then they can take turns to rest, so they won’t be so tired.
After finishing the accounts, Lin Ting stretched and rubbed his daughter Shen Wanyi's hair.
She admired Lin Lin's perseverance. She didn't realize that her sister was also a workaholic.
"Well, sister, you are more familiar with the affairs of the Tea House than I am now. I really found the right person to do business with you."
The two of them paid Xiaofu and his friends the wages they owed them, and the rest became their personal property.
The total amount is more than 1,900, which includes the money for wages and the budget for the next month.
Lin Ting and Lin Lin took out 1,800 taels to divide.
One person costs nine hundred taels of silver.
If we talk about the amount of money earned by women in Wenzhu County, then these two people are definitely at the top of the list.
"Sister, let's go to the bank and open a private account to store our own money. It will be safer this way."
Lin Lin also thought so. After all, she was a woman living here, and with so much money on her, it was inevitable that some people would be jealous.
It was originally afternoon time, and Lin Ting was going to the money shop to exchange some small change and copper coins. Today was the end of the month, and he would go back in the evening to pay the workers in Wushan Village.
"it is good!"
The two men went downstairs to pay the employees at the Tea House first. They wrote down the names of the people they paid to and then counted the money in front of them.
When Xiaofu learned that the Tea House could have another day off tomorrow, he was so happy that he almost flew away.
When Xiaofu took the notice to post it outside the door, he met Qu Yuanxun.
"Master Qu, you're here?"
Qu Yuanxun nodded: "Where is your Madam Lin?"
Xiaofu raised his hand and pointed towards the backyard: "In the backyard!"
When Qu Yuanxun arrived, he saw Lin Ting was there too, and he nodded awkwardly.
"Is Madam Lin here too?"
The wages were paid, Lin Tingzheng stood up holding her records, and Qu Yuanxun ran to the backyard. He shouldn't have come to their place just to drink tea.
Looking at Lin Lin again, she immediately understood that Qu Yuanxun was looking for her sister.
"If you want to drink tea, please sit outside. I will treat you to today's tea."
Lin Ting deliberately said, it has only been a few days, and my sister has become so familiar with Qu Yuanxun.
"No tea today. Aren't you sisters going to divide the profits today? I'll go to the bank with you. It's not safe for you two women to carry so much silver."
This was Qu Yuanxun's sincere words. The last time Lin Lin helped him, she almost got injured, so he wanted to do his best to help Lin Lin.
"Then please step out and wait, Master Qu. My sister and I still need to clean up."
Qu Yuanxun nodded, looked at Shen Wanyi and waved her over.
"Wanyi, go out with Uncle Qu to wait for your mother and aunt. Would you mind having tea with uncle?"
Shen Wanyi looked up at Lin Ting. This Uncle Qu was said to be a high-ranking official. Everyone was afraid of him, but Shen Wanyi didn't think he was scary at all.
"Go ahead, we'll be there in a minute."
Shen Wanyi nodded, ran to Qu Yuanxun, took his hand and went out.
There was no one else in the backyard. Lin Ting sat on the table, teasing Lin Lin with a smile.
"Sister, you are not Mr. He Qu..."
The words were joking, but all he got was Lin Lin's serious answer.
"What are you thinking about? I just want to make money now, the more the better."
After saying this, she placed a silver note of one hundred taels and sixty taels of silver in Lin Ting's hand.
"Throw away all that clutter in your head quickly. This is the budget you lent me when we opened the Tea House.
Also, my relationship with Mr. Qu is just like your relationship with him."
Lin Ting just said this.
"Sister, you think this way about Mr. Qu, but does he think the same about you? The county office is so busy every day, and he actually has time to accompany us to the bank.
This intention is too obvious, the real purpose is not to drink."
Lin Lin reached out and tapped Lin Ting's forehead, her doting on Lin Ting was evident.
"You? Heh..."
Lin Lin had just been divorced for less than two months. The marriage only trapped her and made her miserable. She didn't want to live that kind of life again.
But she also didn't want her sister to continue to misunderstand her and Qu Yuanxun.
"Lin Ting, I want to confess something to you!"
Seeing how serious she was, Lin Ting stopped joking.
"Actually, I was also involved in the Wenzhu River case..."
Lin Ting didn't want Lin Lin to get involved in this mess, fearing that she would be in danger, but in the end she still did it.
He told Lin the whole process, Wu Yuyu, and the Wang family.
Lin Ting sighed. Lin Lin was an adult now, and he was just worried that she would be in danger. Otherwise, Lin Ting respected her.
"So that's how it is. Lord Qu came here because he was afraid that someone would target you again. Sigh..."
"Don't sigh. Today is the day of dividends. It's such a happy day. Don't dwell on the past. It's all in the past..."
Lin Ting put away the silver in her hand. She had received nine hundred taels as dividends, and Lin Lin returned more than one hundred taels to her. So today she had more than one thousand taels in her hands.
Adding the three hundred taels of silver she had previously in scattered deposits, the total was more than one thousand three hundred taels of silver.
Now, she can do many things she wants to do.
After leaving the Tea House, several people took Qu Yuanxun's carriage to the money house. Shen Wanyi sat next to Lin Ting, while Qu Yuanxun sat in the main seat, and Lin Lin sat opposite Lin Ting.
Lin Ting recalled what Lin Lin had just said to her. All the Wang family’s belongings had been confiscated by the government. She didn’t know how the government would deal with these properties.
"Master Qu, I want to ask you something!"
Qu Yuanxun tilted his head and raised his hand to signal Lin Tingting: "Madam Lin, just say what you want to say."
"Hasn't the Wang family's wealth been confiscated? Then aren't their farms, forests, and fields all in the hands of the county government?"
Lin Ting had read some books about the Dongxia Kingdom, but none of them said that the fields confiscated by the government were eventually cultivated by the government.
In the end, it was the common people who came to plant the crops, but Lin Ting still didn't know whether the land was leased or purchased.
"Madam Lin is interested in the Wang family's farm?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Yuanxun understood what Lin Ting meant, and it was normal for her to want to buy land now that she had money on hand.
