Lin Wan knew that her family's request was a bit overwhelming, but she couldn't find a suitable way.
Land is expensive in Kyoto, even if someone leaves the capital and wants to transfer the shop, the shop will go into the hands of a middleman, and finally leave it to the acquaintances, and it will be the turn of the little-known small merchants like the Lin family.
Li Haitang lowered his eyes. If the pastry shop can be bought, it will be a staircase leading to the second floor on one side. It does not occupy the street. After the house is opened, it can be remodeled at will, and there is no need to worry about the owner not renting it in a few years. To move house.
As for Lin Wan's conditions, Li Haitang thought it was reasonable.
She rubbed her forehead with her hands, and suddenly her eyes lit up, yes!
She doesn't have a pavement, but that doesn't mean she can't make one! There is a yard just near the main street that has not been warmed up. It is absolutely no problem to open a door there, build a house, and renovate a large shop.
The location of that place is very good, surrounded by many shops, most of them are rich merchants, which just fits Lin Wan's positioning of her rouge and gouache.
Everyone has the love of beauty, and there is no shortage of rich people in Beijing, otherwise how could Yaohuazhai grow bigger step by step?
The cost of rouge and gouache powder is low. In the later stage, depending on the effect and hype, it is no problem to earn dozens of taels of silver for a box of face powder. As long as the word of mouth is good, it will be spread to ten and ten, and the family will be popular.
"I have confidence in myself. I have studied the method of gouache for several years. Essential oils and gels are added to it to ensure moisture, and it will not dry out in summer."
After Lin Wan finished speaking, she took out a purse, and took out several small boxes inside, each containing samples made by herself.
There are moisturizing water for skin care, face powder, and powder that can be applied at night while sleeping. Not only will it not cause damage to the skin, but it can also repair and reduce yellowing after long-term use.
"I'm older than you, so I have the cheek to call myself my sister. This is for you as a meeting gift."
Lin Wan said, pushing the things in the purse over.
Li Haitang was short of these things. She found that the ultraviolet rays in Kyoto were too strong. If she didn't wipe anything on her face, her skin would become red and swollen. So when she went out, she always put on some balm.
"Haitang, the gouache made by Lin Wan is no worse than Yaohuazhai's incense powder."
At least, some of Yaohuazhai's face powders need to be washed off before going to bed, otherwise there would be no jokes about the young lady taking off her makeup and frightening her husband, but Lin's gouache powder doesn't need to be washed.
"It smells good."
It has a faint jasmine fragrance, not strong or pungent, and the powder is even and fine.
Li Haitang rubbed a little on his hands, and found that it also brightened the complexion. If the rouge gouache shop has a good location and reasonable marketing, it will definitely become popular in Kyoto.
"Sister Lin, what do you think of a shop closer to Jingzhaoyi Yamen?"
Li Haitang mentioned that he had not had time to renovate his new house. If the other party agreed, he could do whatever he wanted.
She originally planned to continue the hype and turn the haunted house into a feng shui treasure. In this way, the value of the house increased steadily, and she made money lying down.
"Isn't that a haunted house?"
Fang Shaoyao opened her mouth wide. It is said that the family also wanted to open a shop. After all, the location is so good that it cannot be wasted.
Even in Yang Xu's case, there was a haunted house, and I don't know who spread the word, saying that it was a place where people were murdered and quartered.
"Sister Shaoyao, this is easy to solve. It's like this in Kyoto. There are gossips and people's opinions. No one has seen a ghost, so what they say is true."
Li Haitang blinked and replaced the house with Lin Wan now. She was a bit at a loss, but think about it, after all, she bought it at 50% of the market price. If the Lin family didn't add money, she wouldn't lose anything, and she could pay the next one. friend.
If in the future, Lin Wan's shop makes money, it will drive up the surrounding land prices, and she will benefit from several houses.
"That's right, Yang Xu was found by the river, even if he was killed, it has nothing to do with those houses."
Fang Shaoyao suddenly realized, she asked Lin Wan what she meant, and clarified the facts, it was just a matter of a word from her man.
"make a deal."
Lin Wan fell in love with that yard, but she was a widowed woman, it was inconvenient to go out, and before she could find a familiar middleman to recommend her, she learned that the house had been sold, and she rushed to nothing.
I didn't expect to go around and go around, and finally returned to her hands.
Moreover, on the surface, she was at a disadvantage, but in fact she was taking advantage. There was a shop built there, and there was an extra big yard, which was a good thing that she couldn't find even with a lantern.
In order to express her gratitude, Lin Wan thought for a while, and then said, "I heard from Shaoyao that if you want to do big business, then the grocery store next door, you'd better exchange it."
The owner of the grocery store, the Lin family also knows each other and has been friends for many years.
"I still have a yard there. If the owner of the grocery store is willing to change the store, I agree with both hands."
Li Haitang expressed his attitude, so that he only spent a small amount of money to solve the two major issues, and he didn't have to worry that if the shop made money in the future, the other party, as the owner of the house, would impose more stringent conditions.
"Haitang, how many shops do you have?"
Fang Shaoyao took a deep breath, and then gave a thumbs up. If Li Haitang hadn't just arrived in the capital and had no contacts, she would have suspected that there was a ghost, and it was Li Haitang's own directing and acting.
"I think so, but it's a pity that I don't have that head!"
Li Haitang smiled wryly, took over the house by himself, making money is making money, and he also took some risks. If the owner of the house recollects it, there are some scumbags among them, and they will definitely come to the house and make a big fuss.
If you make trouble, you will make trouble, and no one can change the contract written in black and white.
At this moment, taking advantage of the turmoil, it is a good deal for those two companies to help take risks, divert attention, and expand the shop, killing two birds with one stone.
After Lin Wan heard this, she became concerned, raised the cup containing sour plum soup, and clinked glasses with Li Haitang.
The two chatted happily, but there was a commotion from under the bamboo building. Then, Nanny Fang came to the door in a hurry, looking flustered, and whispered something in Fang Shaoyao's ear.
After Fang Shaoyao heard this, her complexion was not good. She stood up, and instead of greeting Lin Wan, she explained to Li Haitang, "There is something going on ahead, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you are busy."
Lin Wan was in a hurry to go home to discuss the matter of changing the shop, Li Haitang had nothing to do, and found Bai Guo, and the master and servant were going ashore and strolling in the village.
"Such a large farm is used to grow flowers and cultivate sentiment. It can be seen that the Li family has no shortage of food to eat."
Li Haitang still likes vegetables and fruit trees, which look better than these delicate flowers and plants. The flowers and plants can only be seen, and they will wither after the season, so they are of no value.
"Pfft... Ma'am, the Li family claims to be a scholarly family. Although they have a farm, they are not used to grow vegetables." Bai Guo couldn't help laughing after telling the news he had inquired about.
