What Lu Weiyu had the most contact with in his previous life was medicinal materials.

When it comes to running a shop, it is only the dowry property that was handed over to her after her mother died.

But in this life, she was not yet twelve years old and had no capital to start a business.

If we say that money is one's own body, it means more than three hundred and two bodies of one's own body.

She is still young and does not have much jewelry that can be exchanged for mortgage.

Alas, there is only ambition but no energy left. She is too eager to advance.

Then I thought that Grandpa Qu did not approve of her current operation of a medicinal shop and asked her to report it to her ancestors first.

Just let her get scolded.

"Okay, let's start with running a small shop." Lu Weiyu sighed and relaxed his brows.

It was because she couldn't keep her temper.

To cultivate your own power and run your own industry, you will have a long future.

"If you open a snack shop in a busy city and purchase a small courtyard with two shops, the purchase price is 2,000 taels and the property will be transferred."

"The rental price is two hundred taels a year, and it can be rented for more than two years, which can be further reduced by 10%."

"We are short of capital right now, but we are not short of capital all the time so that we don't have to rent for too long."

"After all, it only costs two thousand taels of silver to buy it, which means renting it for nine or ten years is enough to open a shop."

"Therefore, I suggest renting it for two years for only one hundred and eighty taels."

"If I make money, I might be able to buy this shop with what I have earned in the past two years."

"If the owner is not willing to sell it to us, we will have enough money to find another bigger store."

"Long-term renting is just giving money away, which is not cost-effective."

Lin Shenghua told him his careful calculation, and Lu Weiyu nodded repeatedly.

What she lacks is capital, not inability to do business.

"Since it's a busy city, our wine and food business can't compare to that of a restaurant."

"How about making some pastries and preserved fruit snacks so that people can take them away and take them away, which will save us some trouble at home."

“The cost is not high, cash flows quickly, and we don’t need that many manpower.”

Lu Weiyu thought that she was also good at making these snacks in her previous life.

After her mother passed away, her situation at home became increasingly difficult.

His father disappeared, the clansmen fought for power and property, and life in the uncle's house was not as good as before.

She also kept her filial piety and did not go out, so she often spent time with Ruyi, Liu'er and the others thinking about what snacks to make.

No one knows that a concubine like her is not as glamorous as she appears.

The mother left her dowry property, and she wanted to leave it to her younger brother.

When she has a lot of expenses, she will sell the food recipes she has figured out to make money, and she will also make some embroidery and sell them to make enough money for their siblings.

Who knew that my younger brother was gone...

Thinking of this, Lu Weiyu felt a twinge of pain in her heart and couldn't help clenching her fists.

"Miss?"

Lin Shenghua was thinking about snacks that would be easy to get and make money quickly.

Seeing that Lu Weiyu's face was pale and somewhat uncomfortable, he shouted quickly.

Ruyi and Jixiang were playing Scrabble with Lu Zheng in the warm room.

Hearing the sound in the small hall, Ruyi hurriedly walked out.

"Nothing." Lu Weiyu hurriedly waved his hands and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Uncle Shenghua, renting a shop for two years for one hundred and eighty taels is feasible."

Lu Weiyu retracted her mind and looked at Lin Shenghua.

"How much manpower, materials, etc. are needed to open a shop like this? What is the total cost?"

"I'll need more than two hundred taels in the early stage." Lin Shenghua said thoughtfully.

"As long as the shop is open, if you don't lose money every day, you will make money. If you add anything later, there will be a source of expenditure."

"Now that we have a shop, we need to make all kinds of utensils for these pastries and snacks, as well as furniture and items in the shop, people's hands, and palms."

"A small shop like this doesn't need much management. I can just go there and take care of it when the time comes."

"There needs to be a shopkeeper, and there needs to be someone to collect money and settle accounts."

"The wages are paid monthly, and you don't need to pay a lot of labor costs at one time." Lin Shenghua has actually already gotten a good deal.

He had already found such a shop, so he had anticipated all situations.

What is lacking now is money.

Lu Weiyu immediately went to open the box himself and took out three hundred-tael silver notes.

"I have already exchanged the pocket money I have accumulated with Butler Zhou for banknotes so that I can keep it conveniently."

Lu Weiyu explained with a smile.

In this way, when Lin Shenghua takes the money out, he will not be noticed by others, but it will cause him trouble.

Three hundred taels of silver, whether it is silver ingots or broken silver nuggets, is very noticeable.

Lin Shenghua couldn't help but smile when he saw that the eldest lady had already prepared these.

Three hundred taels is enough to spread snacks in a two-storey shop with a small courtyard.

As for the drug store in the eldest lady's long-term plan, we can only leave it aside for the time being due to the lack of manpower and capital.

Lu Weiyu took out another small pile of food recipes, which were all the food recipes from her previous life that she had copied down these days.

There are various snack methods of pastries, preserved fruits, dried meat, desserts, and even some fried and roasted snack methods.

In total, there are more than 20 individual product recipes.

Lin Shenghua took a quick look at it and couldn't help but marvel.

"Miss, with these snacks, the shop will be able to open before the end of the year."

“If we can keep up with the New Year business, I’m afraid the profit in January will be enough to cover two or three months of business.”

"These ways of eating may not be the only ones, but they are also our own craftsmanship in our shop. We can't find others to do it for the time being."

"I'll ask your Aunt Hong to make some at home, and ask the pastry chef to make them in the shop."

Lin Shenghua said cautiously.

Lu Weiyu nodded, thought for a while, and reminded: "Aunt Hong alone may not be able to do this."

"Some goods can be kept in reserve, but some goods are too rushed to be made fresh, and being too busy will affect sales."

"It's already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's goods business will only last for half a month at most. If we can supply goods within ten days, we will have an advantage."

Lu Weiyu reminded, don't you have to rely on the New Year's goods business to make two or three months' profit?

The lease term is 180 taels of silver for two years, and the monthly rent is 7 taels of silver.

Coupled with other various costs and expected amortization, if the monthly income does not exceed fifteen taels, it is not considered profitable.

Her plan is to provide all these snacks at one price, allowing customers to choose freely.

The price is one penny.

The quantity will then be customized based on cost.

Guests can choose ten kinds of snacks for one tael of silver, or they can choose more of one or two kinds according to their preference.

If you don’t want to buy too much, you can spend just one penny.

The same price only counts the quantity, so customers have more opportunities to choose, and the shop assistants are also more relaxed.

She had mentioned this idea when she gave the prescription just now. She just wanted to catch up on the New Year's goods business and obviously didn't have enough manpower.

"We'll see how we can increase reliable manpower at that time, or find people from Uncle Jun's family? Or people from Aunt Hong's natal family?"

"This is what Uncle Shenghua has arranged. The capital for our other shops can only come from here first."

Lu Weiyu smiled slightly when he said this.

She only reminded Lin Shenghua of the manpower issue. Lin Shenghua would have to worry about how to deal with it in the future.

"Okay, wait until I go back to find someone."

Lin Shenghua agreed, carefully collected the three hundred taels of silver notes, and left without staying any longer.

The four women who were sent in first will be registered in the uncle's house later and receive their wages from the uncle's house.
