Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 435 Ancient Business Manual 10

Although compared with their previous life, an income of two hundred coins a day was unthinkable for the Chu family, Chu Yuan did not stop.

She is still figuring out how to expand the business.

Fifty cups a day is the limit their family can bear. If they increase the number further, they will face problems of insufficient manpower and high transportation costs.

If there is a shortage of human resources, she can hire people. Besides, she is now living in ancient society, so it is completely possible for her to spend money to buy two servants.

As for the transportation cost, the best solution is of course to open a shop.

She has been running the milk tea business for two months and has saved more than ten taels of silver, which should be enough to rent a shop in town.

But the question is, how to get the consent of my parents?

What's more, a small town like Baisha can no longer satisfy Chu Yuan's desire. The town has a limited population. Even if it expands in size, the daily income cannot increase exponentially.

Her sights were already fixed on the more distant Dugu Town, which was the most prosperous town in the prefecture. Located in the central area, it had the largest permanent population and the largest number of merchants among the nearby towns.

There is no comparison at all to a small town like Baisha Town.

If I could do business there, whether selling milk tea or something else, the income in one day might be as much as what I make in one month now.

Chu Yuan was very excited. She seemed to see a business empire beckoning to her. Thinking of this, she even had a smile on her face when she slept.

After waking up, she had already thought of a whole set of arguments to convince Chu's father and mother, but before she could say it, Chu Yuan had overheard their conversation.

"Boss, we have enough savings now. Especially since we started the milk tea business, we have earned 14 taels of silver. Can we send Hudan and Erniu to school?"

"Damn it, the milk tea business is profitable entirely because of Big Girl. After she finds someone, she will take the money away as her dowry. It has only been in the past two years.

As for the money for Hudan and Erniu's schooling, we can save some more money. We can't let the eldest girl suffer any loss."

Mother Chu pondered for a while and remained silent, as if she had tacitly agreed with Father Chu's decision. In fact, in her heart, she felt she owed her eldest daughter.

The harvest was bad in the past few years, and there was not much profit from farming, and there were no big game to hunt in the mountains either.

At that time, the couple wanted the same thing as most of the villagers, which was to have more meals. They had no time to consider sending their children to school.

But the situation is different now. Because Chu's father has accumulated some wealth from hunting over the years, the family now has a stable income.

Chu's mother wanted to send the two younger ones to school so that they would not have the same regrets as the older girl did back then.

But she was just overthinking it. The head of the family was right. Even if they were to be sent to school, they could not use the money earned by the eldest girl. They should wait a few years before discussing this matter.

"As for the big girl, do you want me to ask my sister-in-law to help her find a date?"

Father Chu paused and said, "Originally, if your sister-in-law could introduce a man from the town to Big Girl, it would be a good destination. But now that Big Girl has the skill of making milk tea, I would like to take a long-term view, but..."

This coincided with Chu's mother's idea. They both hoped that their daughter could marry a scholar.

But can these scholars look down on these peasants? Although those students were polite and courteous when they came to buy milk tea, when it comes to marriage, everyone would pay attention to the matching of family backgrounds.

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, with merchants being the last.

His daughter is out there doing business every day, making a lot of money, but it's this reputation...

"Our eldest daughter is such an outstanding girl. No matter which family she marries into, they will find a treasure. If they don't like her, it only shows that these people have no taste."

Although Chu's mother seems timid and has no opinions on her own on weekdays, what she cares about most are her three children.

Especially the eldest girl, the first life she brought into this world.

Chu's father obviously shared the same view as her: "If it doesn't work out, we can move to another town and find a good husband for the girl there."

At this time, Chu Yuan came out of the room: "Dad, Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Through the conversation between Chu's father and mother, she realized that the idea of ​​moving was feasible. Although the ultimate goal was different, as long as she could expand the business and make money, she could find any kind of husband she wanted.

In the feudal social context, not getting married in one's lifetime was a very unorthodox idea.

Chu Yuan had no intention of challenging the authority of the ancients' thoughts. She had already thought about choosing a husband. After making enough money, she would find a fair-looking scholar to marry into her family.

At that time, I will be responsible for making money to support the family, and he will be responsible for taking care of my wife and raising the children. Wouldn't such a life be happy?

However, this matter is obviously not the focus of the current discussion. What she wants to talk about is opening a store.

"Dad, Mom, we have saved some money by buying milk tea in the past two months, but the business in Baisha Town is already saturated. I was thinking, how about we move to a bigger town and open a shop?"

After hearing this, Chu's father and mother looked at each other for a while and said, "Big girl, the cost of opening a shop is at least more than ten taels of silver. If this happens, won't we have to invest all the money we have earned during this period into it?"

Such risks are indeed a bit high, but correspondingly, the benefits are also proportional. It just depends on whether they have the courage.

In the end, it was Chu's father who made the decision: Move!

With his experience of selling game in the town over the years, Chu's father certainly knew that the population of Baisha Town was not large and the market could easily reach saturation. Besides, the method of making milk tea was not impossible to replicate, and there was no guarantee that another stall selling milk tea would appear in Baisha Town one day.

Therefore, opening a store in a larger town is indeed a wise choice.

After making this decision, the family began to work towards this direction. This time they adopted Chu Yuan's opinion and prepared to move the whole family to Dugu Town.

To this end, they deliberately stopped their business for two days and hired a donkey cart to go to Dugu Town to look for houses.

Chu Yuan's favorite is a storefront facing the street, with a large yard and three rooms in the back for them to live in. On weekdays, the milk tea can be made in the backyard and then taken to the front for sale, without any transportation costs.

The key point is that the geographical location here is the same as the location they chose in Baisha Town, and it is only a few dozen meters away from the nearest academy.

It’s just that living on the street will be a bit noisy, but the Chu family doesn’t care much about this.
