Chapter 627

....
627 Mother is the one who earns the most money in the family
Without waiting for Cai Xiaolian to ask, Gu Xin directly gave her answer, ” “Mother, it was grandma Jiang who bought our first batch of goods. She said that uncle ye had married many wives and had a few daughters. There were many women in the family, so she bought them for her family. She has many old Furen’s friends in the capital, so she will send some over.”
Cai Xiaolian laughed. An Emperor with a harem of 3000, you probably wouldn’t be able to buy 1000 bottles in the past!
mother, ” Gu Nian said, ” we’re selling it to grandma Jiang at a friendly price. When we sell it at the store, the price for the batch of goods for grandma Jiang will be different. It will start at ten taels. We’re planning to go to the prefecture to buy some people this month. We’ll bring a few with us and teach them how to make it. Then, we’ll split the price according to their skills. Oh, right, we’ve already thought about it. After buying the manor, we’ll directly open a laundry workshop for washing and protection sets. By then, we’ll be able to sell more washing and protection sets in a month.”
“Alright!” Cai Xiaolian replied. I’ll take you to the prefecture in a few days and discuss with your aunt Luo. We’ve already gotten the land, and we can start work at the end of August. When I show you the blueprint, you can also give your opinions.”
Cai Xiaolian said as she got up to get the blueprint.
He returned after a while.
Cai Xiaolian’s drawing skills were indeed very good. Even if she was 50 years old when she died, it seemed that she hadn’t given up on her profession and hobby in those years when she started from scratch.
Liansheng Street was named after Cai Xiaolian and Madam li. It was divided into two parts. One part was for residential purposes, and the other part was for business.
Unlike the traditional small courtyards at the back of the shops in the great Zhou Dynasty, the shops on Liansheng Street could only accommodate one person. There were no small courtyards that could accommodate a large family.
Whether it was for residential or commercial use, it was a two-story building.
For commercial shops, there were two streets in front and back. One could enter from one street and exit from the other Street. The shops at the end of the street, such as the Rouge shop and the furniture shop, which were used as taverns and required a kitchen, were all connected to the front and back streets.
There were big and small rooms for living. The big ones could be made into at least eight rooms, and the small ones had three rooms. The downstairs was for daily activities, and the upstairs was for resting.
The small courtyard, kitchen, and toilet were all built together.
On the blueprint Cai Xiaolian had brought over, the small courtyard they lived in had a total of seven alleys and eight rows of houses. There was a well in each alley for everyone to share.
Gu Nian took a look and realized that this was similar to a townhouse community. There was even greenery in the community. Although the other side was not facing the street, it was not far away from the main street.
In the prefecture, one mu of land was worth 10 taels of silver. The largest area of this courtyard was only one mu, and the smallest was only half an mu.
Even the smallest apartment would cost at least 200 taels of silver to sell after it was built.
Gu Xin did some calculations. Her third aunt’s family was considered ordinary in the prefecture. They would be willing to spend money to buy a small courtyard like this.
Moreover, the people in the prefecture loved to buy houses and rent them out.
Gu Xin completely believed her sister’s words. Her mother and aunt Luo’s business was definitely profitable.
There were so many states, counties, and towns in the great Zhou Dynasty. If there was a Liansheng Street in every place, even if they did not sell the small courtyard they lived in, her mother and aunt Luo would be exhausted from collecting rent.
In the future, even if the house was old and needed to be rebuilt, they could still sell the land to others.
Land with houses built on it was much more valuable than land without houses!
Moreover, once the shops on the street were developed, the street would become the center of the city, which would be even more valuable.
Gu Xin felt that her mother was so good at earning money! He could just draw some pictures and earn some money with some silver.
The sisters had to study all kinds of fragrances and mix them together, which was much more complicated than painting.
She firmly believed that her mother was the one who could make the most money in their family!
