Chapter 105 He is a bit stingy, but he won’t lie to you

Lin Pingzhan saw that she had no intention and did not force her, so he told her about the situation in his workshop.

He also suggested that the workshop should be opened outside the city, which would be more convenient on Zhuangzi.

However……

Lu Weiyu said helplessly: "My restaurant hasn't figured it out yet, why do I want Zhuangzi again?"

"I really have to go to my mother and get the dowry list out as soon as possible. If Zhuangzi is there, give it to me as soon as possible. Otherwise, where will Zhuangzi go?"

Lin Pingzhan's expression froze, and he silently picked up the tea cup and drank it wordlessly.

Alas, my cousin can't accept this. It's better to drink tea. It smells good.

"Ah, look at my memory, I'm here to give you money for your painting."

Lin Pingzhan suddenly remembered his original intention and quickly put down his tea cup.

One hundred and sixty taels of silver notes made Lu Weiyu's eyes light up.

When people are short of money, the first thing they see most is money.

"It's not too cold to enjoy plum blossoms now, and the crabapples are about to bloom again. Can Zheng'er's yard start to be tidied up?"

Lin Pingzhan asked again.

"Well, I went over there in the morning. Let's dry out the house for a few days. Then we'll have a begonia flower banquet on my birthday and celebrate Zheng'er's move."

"When you guys come over, please don't disturb your cousin. I don't want to have a quarrel that day."

"I'll invite a few more people from the West Mansion, as well as Nanny Wu's children, to come over and join in the fun."

"Zheng'er is still young. He needs friends. Among the other clan members, I am still wondering whether to invite them."

Lu Weiyu took the opportunity to tell the matter.

"Please." It was Lin Shenghua who spoke.

"Zheng'er has his own courtyard. This is a big deal. Taking this opportunity to invite peers from the clan to congratulate him is also his status as a legitimate son."

"Otherwise, he will always be a child under his mother's wings and will be easily ignored."

Lin Pingzhan also agreed with Lin Shenghua's words.

"Zheng'er has never had his own courtyard. He only has a wet nurse to take care of him. The other servants are all from the main courtyard."

"It's a bit grand to hold a banquet specifically for this event. A flower viewing banquet on your birthday would be great. Invite everyone who came on New Year's Eve."

"In this way, your cousin will..." Before Lin Pingzhan finished speaking, Lu Weiyu shook his head.

"The conflict between my cousin and I has been made public. She does not know her fault, and I will not compromise."

"She can come and disrupt my birthday party, but I won't allow her to ruin Zheng'er's housewarming."

"Moreover, my sisters from the same race are of lower family status. What if my cousin comes to show off to the general's lady? Wouldn't she offend a group of people?"

"When the time comes, I will be in a dilemma. What shame will the General's Mansion have? It's better to have one less thing than one more thing."

When she asked her question, Lin Pingzhan was speechless.

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to persuade the sisters to reconcile, but what my cousin said could really happen.

He doesn’t dare to gamble!

"Forget it, in order to prevent her from taking the opportunity to cause trouble again, cousin, you can tell your aunt then."

"On my birthday, I moved the yard to Zheng'er. I didn't dare to disturb the elders, so I only invited brothers and sisters of the Lu family to warm the house."

"I asked my three cousins ​​to come over and help me entertain the guests. As you know, my cousins ​​are twenty years old and two years old."

"The younger one, Zheng'er, can entertain himself, but the older one can only rely on your help."

Lu Weiyu was afraid that her eldest cousin would be embarrassed when he returned, so he thought of a comprehensive explanation.

Lin Pingzhan nodded.

This was the case on New Year's Eve.

"We were supposed to move the banquet to the courtyard in the winter, but it was cold and the flowering period of the Haitang Courtyard was over, so it was better to hold it in advance."

"My birthday will be lively, and Zheng'er can go to Zhuangzi with peace of mind."

"By the way, Uncle Shenghua, I will arrange for Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and Zheng'er to go to Zheng'er Courtyard. I will add four more second-class maids to our courtyard."

"Help me look for it when you have time. Although it's not urgent, it's still empty."

"In addition, if you are smart and willing to endure hardships, pick a few and send them to the General's Mansion to practice martial arts. They may also work as servants for Zheng'er in the future."

She was talking about a servant, not a guard.

Lin Shenghua quickly agreed.

"Then I'll go back and organize the brewing workshop first, and then look for suitable manpower. The workshop also needs manpower."

Fortunately, the weather is nice now, so it’s much easier to go out. It’s not like years ago when everything was harder to do.

"Take these one hundred and sixty taels as well, so you have more money."

Lu Weiyu hurriedly gave Lin Shenghua the painting money sent by his cousin just now, as well as Taohuazui's craft recipes.

This is the wine Lu Weiyu brewed by himself in his previous life. In addition to peach blossom wine, there are also two types of wine: bamboo green apricot white wine and green pear wine.

But there is no need to take it all out at once, first look at the value of Peach Blossom Drunk.

"What can you do with one hundred and sixty taels?" Lin Pingzhan couldn't help but ask after Lin Shenghua left.

To make wine, this money is not enough.

"It's one thousand six hundred and sixty taels." Lu Weiyu corrected.

"I have brought back all the monthly and yearly records that I kept in Chunhua Hall."

“I didn’t know that my eldest cousin had his own business before, but now I know how stingy my eldest cousin is!”

Lu Weiyu glanced at Lin Pingzhan angrily.

I'm talking about buying paintings.

The eldest cousin took her painting from Zheng'er and gave her no money at all, but promised to give her all the new year's money.

This promise was fulfilled, but...

How many taels of silver is this?

You can make money by opening a winery!

"Cousin, you can consider making money by making wine together." Lin Pingzhan changed the topic with a smile.

"If the wine is not good, you can't sell your restaurant. If the wine is good, you can't just be stuck in one restaurant."

"Even if there are other restaurants that can be bought and sold, it is still a small business."

"My winery does have a branch in other places, but there are not many varieties of wine, and the business is just a small profit but quick turnover."

"If my cousin joins the company with the wine side, my wine shop will be responsible for making wine, and the profits from the sales will be shared with my cousin."

"My cousin, you don't have to worry about business anymore. You can just wait and count the money."

Lin Pingzhan talked about the benefits.

Lu Weiyu pondered.

It seems... not bad?

"How to divide the profits?" She was a little moved.

"You don't have to worry about costs, manpower, and space, nor do you need to worry about operations, sales, or profits. After the profits are calculated, you will be given 20%."

"Why only 20%?" Lu Weiyu immediately frowned.

"Don't deceive others because they are young, they can still settle accounts!"

"There is an owner behind my winery, and they are the ones who invest the most. Otherwise, where would I get the money to open several wineries outside?"

"Actually, I also run errands for others." Lin Pingzhan explained with a grimace.

Lu Weiyu was stunned and suddenly pointed to the easel in the corner.

"It can't be him, right?"

She was talking about His Highness.

Lin Pingzhan nodded, secretly sighing at his cousin's intelligence without naming her directly.

"I sell wine and then become a hands-off shopkeeper. I want 30% profit."

"If I don't see any benefit or you make false accounts to trick me, I will take back the wine recipe and make my own wine."

Lu Weiyu pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Since His Highness is the mastermind behind the scenes and his intentions are obviously the same as hers, then why not just be a throwaway?

"No matter how you divide it, don't forget that only with my recipe can you have this wine and have the opportunity to sell it for money."
