Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Supporting His Own Daughter-in-Law Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Supporting His Own Daughter-in-Law Su Yunjin brewed two types of fruit wine, one sweet and fragrant, the other mellow. Both wines tasted good, and once she opened a wine shop, Su Yunjin believed the business would definitely prosper.
If the food is delicious, guests will like it. The same goes for wine, if it tastes good, customers will be willing to spend money to buy it. The manager, such a shrewd old fox, wanted to buy her wine-brewing recipe time and again, which means there’s money to be made. Otherwise, why would that old fox be willing to pay so much silver? Two thousand liang? That’s a huge sum of money.
Moreover, there are many types of fruit wines. In addition to the ones made from wild fruits, she could use other fruits like loquats, grapes, and green plums, all of which can be used to make wine. Especially grape wine made from grapes is also very good tasting. Once she opened the wine shop, she’d slowly add more varieties, which would attract more customers.
Gu Ya had seen his little wife’s business acumen, knowing she indeed had a knack for business, having tasted the fruit wine she brewed himself.
He also knew it tasted good.
Regarding the little wife’s desire to buy a shop and open a wine shop, Gu Ya was not opposed. He generally wouldn’t stop his little wife from doing what she wanted to do.
“Yunjin, are you really sure about buying the shop?” Gu Ya asked his little wife again, to confirm her decision. Since Su Yunjin had brought it up, she must have given it some thought.
If she hadn’t thought it through, she wouldn’t have mentioned it to Gu Ya, “Husband, I’ve really thought it through. I want to buy a small shop in the market. I plan to open a wine shop.”
Su Yunjin envisioned her own wine shop.
Her eyes were shining bright.
Seeing that his little wife had made up her mind and didn’t seem to be joking, Gu Ya said, “Yunjin, if you’ve made up your mind, then let’s do this! In two days, I’ll accompany you to the market to have a look.”
The little wife didn’t understand the business of buying shops, but with him accompanying her, he could also help her out. Su Yunjin planned to visit the market the next day to check it out first.
“Husband, I’ll go to the market with you early tomorrow morning.” If Gu Ya was going to do the accounts at the tavern, then she’d wander the market, and if there was a suitable shop, she could also discuss it.
Su Yunjin asked Gu Ya about the price of shops, “Husband, how much does a shop cost approximately?” She didn’t know how much an ancient shop would be.
If it was too expensive.
Then she wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Su Yunjin didn’t know, but Gu Ya had a rough idea, “Yunjin, generally, a shop on the market can be bought for around thirty liang of silver. For a better one, it would be more expensive.”
Opening a wine shop is not like opening a tavern; there’s no need to buy something too fancy. Su Yunjin planned to start with buying an average shop and, as business grew,
and she made more money,
she could then switch to a larger one later.
“Husband, let’s just buy an average one then.” With over seventy liang of silver in her hands, she would spend about thirty liang on an average shop.
That would leave her with more than forty liang.
The remaining silver would be enough for her and Gu Ya to live comfortably. Su Yunjin didn’t want to live tightly just for the sake of buying a shop.
Being able to save over forty liang of silver was still alright.
Gu Ya didn’t quite approve of his little wife going to the market the next day, still hoping she’d wait for him so he could accompany her, “Yunjin, be good and wait for me for two days. In two days, we don’t have to go to the tavern. I can stay home with you.” He felt more at ease when he’s by his little wife’s side regarding the purchase of the shop.
But Su Yunjin didn’t mind it.
“Husband, I’ll just go and have a look tomorrow.” Anyway, she had nothing else to do at home. Going out to the market for a stroll wasn’t bad either.
