A family with three widows, after severing ties with relatives, she became wealthy and married into

Cooperation plans after Chapter 76

Alarm bells rang in Tian Tian's mind!

She looked at the puppy Tian Jinghe had carved, and then at the little flower Chu Qian had carved.

Lu Tao and Liu San Niang watched Tian Tian with amusement, waiting to see how she would handle the situation.

Tian Tian hugged Xiao Chuqian and whispered something in his ear for a while.

She then hugged Tian Jinghe and whispered something in his ear for a while.

Then...

"Chu Qian's carving is still the best."

"My uncle carved it better..."

"Chu Qian's carving is excellent."

"My uncle's carving is excellent."

The two children actually started to give way to each other.

"Sweetie, what did you say to them?" Lu Tao asked curiously.

Tian Tian shook her head at her, "It's a secret."

"Hehe, hehe." Liu San Niang laughed heartily.

Today's dumpling filling is cabbage and pork. One cabbage from the garden by the door is enough for them.

"Hey, Sister Lu, have you eaten that vegetable lying on the ground by the door?"

When Liu San Niang thought of cabbage, she thought of the patch of cabbage lying on the ground.

Tian Tian knew she was referring to... "spinach?"

"Yes, it's spinach." Liu San Niang always forgot the name of the vegetable. "That vegetable is very delicious."

Just stir-fry it, and it's sweet and delicious.

Daya leaned against Liu Sanniang, "There's another piece of vegetable that has a strange smell..."

She was probably referring to garland chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum greens do have a distinctive flavor that some people can't stand, while others love it.

Tian Tian happens to love that part.

"That vegetable can be used to cook rice, with a little lard, it's delicious."

"Then let's try it another day," Liu San Niang said.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly burst out laughing.

Lu Tao looked up curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Liu San Niang put down the rolling pin, took Lu Tao's hand, and said, "Sister Lu, do you remember? A few months ago, you couldn't even afford the rent for your house."

"What we'll eat today, what we'll eat tomorrow, those are all things that are uncertain."

"It's just me and Daya. We don't have a choice about what to eat every day. Most of the time, it's just tofu, tofu, tofu."

"Now look what's happened, let's give it a try..."

"Hehe." Lu Tao laughed along with her.

Liu San Niang sighed, "Oh dear, if we... bought Chu Xing Restaurant, how big would our business be?"

She raised her head, her face filled with wonder and disbelief.

After a long pause, she looked down at Tian Tian and said, "Tian Tian, ​​before... we always split the money we earned equally."

"My aunt is very grateful."

“If this becomes a big shop, your auntie won’t be able to split the profits with you.”

"You all get a larger share, and your aunt gets a smaller share."

Liu San Niang knew exactly what was going on.

When the business was small, Tian Tian split the profits equally, and it didn't matter how much or how little.

But when this business gets big, even a small mistake can lead to a huge loss.

She only contributed her labor; Tian Tian handled all the buying and selling. She couldn't possibly split the profits equally anymore.

Lu Tao looked up. "How can this be?"

From the very beginning of our business, it's been a joint effort between two families. Now that the business has grown, how can we prioritize one over the other?

She looked at Tian Tian, ​​"Tian Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Tian Tian patted the flour off her hands and stepped out from among the children. "Mom, I think Auntie is right."

Lu Tao was taken aback. "What are you saying, child?"

"If it weren't for your aunt paying a month's rent for us back then, we wouldn't even have a place to live..."

Tian Tian gave Liu San Niang a helpless look.

"Mother, I meant..."

"When we divide the money, we shouldn't just split it equally anymore, dividing up all the earnings each month..."

"We need to keep some money in reserve for working capital."

"Moreover, since we are going to cooperate with Auntie for a long time, we should indeed discuss and come up with a reasonable way to cooperate."

"That's how it can last."

Lu Tao listened in a daze, but for a long time... was her wish.

She got along well with Liu San Niang and already considered her a sister, so naturally she hoped that their relationship would last a long time.

While wrapping dumplings, Tian Xiang's ears were also busy. "Mom, don't rush, let Tian Tian tell you carefully."

Lu Tao and Liu San Niang continued rolling out the dough, their ears perked up as they listened to Tian Tian explain her next plan.

"The money I used to buy Chuxing Restaurant was borrowed from the young master of the Qian family. I will pay him back later."

"Then this shop belongs to me, Tian Tian."

“Mother, Aunt, each of you should contribute fifty taels, which is equivalent to two managers investing in the shop.”

"This hundred taels is the starting capital for the shop, used to buy ingredients and hire workers."

Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, and Tian Xiang listened intently, nodding in agreement from time to time.

“If the money the shop earns each month after deducting costs is divided into ten parts, three parts will be given to Mother, three parts to Aunt, and the remaining four parts will be kept in the shop’s accounts and temporarily deposited with me.”

"I will use this money to expand my business."

“In the future, any business conducted with this money will follow the same format as this shop.”

"If it's...our family, or your family, that uses their own money to do business, then it's all their own, and it won't be counted as this shop."

“Mother, Aunt, Eldest Sister, if you work in the shop in the future, I will pay you wages, one by one.”

"If you don't do it, you won't get paid."

"As for me, I'll manage the shop and get paid the salary of a head manager."

“The shop is mine too, so every month’s earnings should include one month’s rent for me.”

"When the year is over, we'll check how much silver is in the shop's accounts. We'll keep a portion, and the rest will be split equally among you."

"What do you think?"

Lu Tao looked at Liu San Niang, observing her expression.

Tian Tian explained it very clearly, and Liu San Niang understood it perfectly.

She nodded. "I agree."

Although Tian Tian's words were fair, Liu San Niang knew very well that she had still come out on top.

The shop was bought by Tian Tian, ​​so there's no need to bring her along.

"Sweetie, after we buy Chuxing Restaurant, what exactly will we do? Just sell steamed buns?" Tian Xiang asked the key question.

Lu Tao and Liu San Niang both turned to look at Tian Tian, ​​waiting for her answer.

"Let's open a teahouse!" Tian Tian had certainly considered it.

"Teahouse?"

Tian Xiang is very familiar with the county. "There seems to be a teahouse in the county, but business isn't very good."

The people coming and going in Baishi County are all traveling merchants. Even if they want to drink tea, they don't have time to drink it in a teahouse.

"Sister, the teahouse I want to run isn't that kind of teahouse."

"But..."

The teahouse she ran wasn't the kind of teahouse of this era; it only served tea and pastries.

The teahouse she wanted to build was the kind of teahouse from her era.

There are traditional dim sum dishes, such as steamed buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, xiaolongbao, custard buns, egg tarts, red bean cakes, and layered cakes.

There are also various types of porridge, noodles, and dumplings.

Bring some side dishes as well.

There are also sweet soups and desserts.

In addition to traditional tea leaves, you can also add flower tea, fruit tea, or even milk tea.
