Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 68 - Plot(1)_1

Cai Wei had acquired the shop without spending a single copper coin, would they still be required to invest their hundred taels?

Cai Wei saw their hesitation and laughingly said, “The restaurant currently has everything it needs, so there’s no need to spend any more money on purchasing anything.

You don’t have to use the hundred taels from Uncle Zhou’s family.

Instead, why don’t you invest your eight wild boars?

I’ll consider them worth two shares!”

Being able to invest in such a large restaurant with just eight wild boars, and holding two significant shares at that, was a massive windfall!

The members of the Zhou family were overjoyed and understood that Cai Wei was looking out for them.

They felt somewhat embarrassed and wanted to decline the offer, but they couldn’t bear to reject her kindness outright.

After some deliberation, they decided to assume responsibility for the barbecue tasks at the restaurant.

From then on, Jiujin and Uncle Zhou would be in charge of the barbecue, and Aunt Zhou volunteered to handle the skewering.

Cai Wei had no objections to their decision.

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou were honorable people who disliked taking advantage of others.

Only in this way could they accept their shares in good conscience.

After everything was settled, Uncle Zhou’s family went to find a house in the nearby area.

Although the backyard of Bafu Restaurant had two courtyards large enough to accommodate their families, they were not blood-related after all, and living together might invite unnecessary gossip.

Hence, to avoid any suspicion, Uncle Zhou’s family decided to look for a house elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Cai Wei and her mother were also busy.

They first went to the blacksmith’s shop, ordered three thousand iron skewers for meat skewers and three iron stoves for the barbecue, and even custom-ordered several wire sieves for grilling the meat.

Since they needed these items urgently and required the blacksmith to work day and night, Cai Wei paid the blacksmith an extra three copper coins.

Only then did he agree to accept her order.

After leaving the blacksmith’s shop, they went to the vegetable market.

As the New Year was approaching, the market was brimm with people.

The hustle and bustle of the market and the liveliness of the shops on both sides of the street drew many countryside dwellers looking to purchase their New Year’s goods.

Cai Wei went first to a cabbage stall.

In the north during winter, cabbage was considered a luxury.

The cabbage was grown indoors over a heated kang and took more than half a month of tender care to yield merely four to five catties.

Therefore, cabbage was quite exorbitant during this season.

After checking out the cabbage stall and inquiring about the prices of several types of cabbage, Cai Wei had a rough idea.

The cabbage in her own space was far superior to the ones at the market stall.

This presented an excellent opportunity to sell her cabbage in their own tavern, which could be very profitable….

After attending to various tasks and the daylight fading into dusk, Uncle Zhou drove the cow cart, carrying several people back to the village in high spirits.

Uncle Zhou’s family had also secured a rental property, a residential area not far from Bafu Restaurant.

There were three furnished main rooms, clean and comfortable, which Aunt Zhou took a liking to at first sight.

Eventually, it was rented for seven hundred coppers per month, and they could move in at any time.
