After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

Chapter 142 Stomach and digestion tablets

"Aunt, little ancestor, I, Old Qian, have been looking forward to seeing you day and night. Finally, you are here. If you leave like this, it will be a disaster."

"Oh? Then tell me, what big thing will happen?"

Qian Lai also looked around and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, let's go in first."

Lin Chuyi also realized that this was a busy street, and he no longer had the heart to continue joking, so he nodded to Qian Lai.

Qian Laiye took Lin Chuyi into the study. Lin Chuyi watched Qian Laiye close the door of the study before she started talking again.

"Now you can tell me, what is the big thing you are talking about?"

"I'm almost out of money. If you don't come, our image to the outside world will collapse."

Lin Chuyi was somewhat surprised by Qian Laiye's answer, "You spent tens of thousands of taels of silver so quickly?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Chuyi recalled the conversation he had just heard during dinner, and asked in a tone that seemed to be asking but was actually firm: "Have you taken over all of Zhang's shops?"

Qian Lai was not too surprised that Lin Chuyi could guess the purpose of the money. He nodded at Lin Chuyi.

"Yes, in addition to the eight Zhang's grain stores, I also bought a restaurant on the main street in the city on the recommendation of Chen Shundong, and bought three large shops not far from the main street. In addition, there is a farm with more than 300 acres of land on the outskirts of the city. The expenses of selling the farm and shops account for the bulk of the total expenses, and the rest is the cost of hiring people and daily expenses."

"According to your previous request, I selected seven honest and hardworking people from the manor, and gradually selected 25 people who met the requirements from several other people. I brought them all here to live, and I personally trained them in service awareness every day."

While Qian Lai was talking, his hands were not idle. He took off the key chain from his waist, picked up one of the keys, opened the drawer under the bookshelf, took out an account book and a stack of deeds from the drawer, stacked the two things, and placed them on the desk in front of Lin Chuyi.

"Here is the specific information of the thirty-two people, as well as the account books recording various expenses during this period, and various vouchers. Please take a look, young lady."

Lin Chuyi reached out and roughly flipped through the stack of deeds, and found that Qian Lai had classified different contracts such as land deeds, property deeds, and indentures according to their respective functions, and stacked them neatly together.

This makes the pile of deeds look less messy and is very convenient to search.

The account book under the deed also clearly recorded every expense during this period, allowing Lin Chuyi to clearly know where every penny went.

The specific information of the 32 trainees was mixed in the middle of the account book. When Lin Chuyi saw this, he closed the account book directly and did not read on.

She nodded to Qian Lai with satisfaction, "You are able to accomplish so many things in such a short time. This is your professional ability."

While Lin Chuyi was speaking, he also gave Qian Lai a thumbs up.

Qian Lai also smiled and bowed to Lin Chuyi, saying modestly: "It was all the young lady's idea. Old Qian was just following orders."

"Don't belittle yourself. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you mess up, you will be punished. If you do well, you will naturally be rewarded. This is the reward for you. Take a look and see if it suits your taste."

Lin Chu stretched out the hand that had given a thumbs-up to Qian Laiye, and suddenly a white porcelain bottle appeared in the empty hand.

Qian Lai also followed suit, took the porcelain bottle from Lin Chuyi, opened it and took a look inside, and found some white pills inside.

Qian Lai raised his head without knowing why and looked at Lin Chuyi with a questioning look.

"This is?"

Lin Chuyi showed a meaningful smile: "I bought it specially for you...stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets."

Qian Lai was also dumbfounded.

"One bottle contains fifty tablets. Just take one tablet a day. I guarantee that within three days, your initial settings will be restored. You can come to me for more after you finish them. I have twenty-nine bottles in my warehouse, reserved especially for you. How about that? Am I, the 'young master', very considerate?"

Restoring the original settings in three days does not mean that he can lose weight, but also that he can eat without any scruples.

Although this thing is not quite the same as the reward Qian Laiye expected, he is already content.

Qian Lai also smiled and nodded at Lin Chu, then poured out a pill and put it into his mouth, swallowed it directly, then put the stopper on the porcelain bottle and put the porcelain bottle into his sleeve.

When Lin Chu saw that Qian Laiye really regarded that thing as a reward, she was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm kidding. This thing can't be considered a reward. I see that you love to eat. I'll make a list for you of the food that can be produced at present. Just give me a list of what you want to eat and how much you want. I can satisfy you."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. By the way, the 20% profit that Chen Shundong gave you doesn't need to be put into the public account. You can keep it for your own use, whether it's buying food or clothes, it's up to you."

Qian Lai saw that Lin Chuyi was serious and knew that she was not joking this time, so he readily agreed.

"Then Old Qian will respectfully obey your command. Thank you for the reward, young lady."

"You're welcome, you deserve it."

After Lin Chuyi said this with a smile, he sat up straight and looked serious.

"Okay, sit down first, we should talk about business. Now we have so many shops on hand. What do you think about what kind of business we should do next?"

"some."

Qian Lai also pulled out the chair opposite Lin Chuyi and sat down, tidying up his words before continuing.

"Most of Zhangji's shops are located opposite Chenji Grain Store. Chenji Grain Store is now very popular and has occupied most of the rice market in Lanzhou City. We are also a supplier of Chenji Grain Store. To some extent, Chenji is also making money for us. There is no need for us to seize the rice market and change the existing market structure."

"When I took over these shops, I went to the streets where they were located. I found that although Lanzhou City is not particularly wealthy, many of the shops on the streets have been open for many years and have a fixed customer base."

"If we want to do business in Lanzhou and quickly gain a foothold and become famous, we must have our own characteristics. I personally prefer to do food business. Food is the first necessity of the people. There are many wealthy people in Lanzhou. As long as the things we make are novel and special enough, and we market them well, we will not be afraid of lack of business."
