Transmigrating into a peasant family to fight against the best, leading my parents to earn gold and

Chapter 410 Is this trip going to be a wasted trip?

Lin Xiaotang laughed and said, "Is that all you've got? I'm not lying to you. Growing medicinal herbs is a good way to get rich. Before we separated our family, my parents were always tormented by my stepmother, and my grandfather was also very biased. My parents worked from morning till night and didn't even see a single copper coin all year round."

When we divided the family property, we were dirt poor. Later, we started a food business, and then we planted medicinal herbs. After we had some capital, we opened a restaurant and cultivated medicinal herb fields. That's why we went to the capital a few days ago to prepare for doing business there.

The bearded man looked surprised. "Xiao Tang, I could tell you're no ordinary girl. I never expected you to be so capable, so unassuming, and even able to make money through business. Why don't you stay on the mountain and lead the brothers to make money together?"

cough cough...

She accidentally got a little too cocky, and the bearded man wanted her to stay and lead everyone to get rich even more. What if she couldn't get away later?

Lin Xiaotang grinned and changed the subject, "There are many of us, but we have no land or capital. Let's grow medicinal herbs on this mountain to make a living first. After a year or two, when we have enough capital, we can buy land and a house."

"If we expand the medicinal herb fields later, we'll earn more and more money, and then we can get involved in other businesses. There will be many more opportunities to make money in the future. Not only will I not stay on this mountain forever, but you won't have to stay here forever either. Good days are ahead."

The more she talked, the more excited the bearded man became, admiring her even more and starting to dream about a better future.

He fantasized about wearing magnificent clothes, looking splendid, owning a large mansion, having several servants, being waited on at home, traveling by carriage, carrying a silver pouch at his waist, using gold and silver cups, and eating delicacies from land and sea...

A few days later, after a rain, the weeds in the medicinal herb field grew wildly.

Because it was the first time the land was cleared, the weed seeds were not completely pulled out, and there were many weed seeds. So every time it rained, the weeds would grow wildly. In those days, there were no herbicides, and even if there were, they couldn't be used because the medicinal herb seedlings were too delicate. Applying herbicides would affect the growth of the medicinal herb seedlings and also affect their growth cycle.

So, Lin Xiaotang called out to Scarface and Big Beard, along with Uncle Liang, Huo Qi, Qu Xiao, and others, and each led a small team to go into the medicinal herb field to pull weeds.

……

After returning to the capital, Lin Qingchuan told his wife and two children about his eldest daughter's situation on the mountain to put their minds at ease. Then he began looking for a restaurant with a good location.

However, the capital city is bustling, and restaurants, teahouses, and other establishments in slightly better locations are doing extremely well, so no one is transferring ownership of their restaurants or shops yet.

He was somewhat frustrated. Was he going to make a wasted trip?

Now that his daughter is still in the bandit's den, teaching the bandits how to grow medicinal herbs to get rich, if he can't do anything himself, he'll seem too pathetic. Does he deserve to be Xiaotang's father?

After calmly considering the situation, Lin Qingchuan recalled that his daughter had told him before she was taken up the mountain that evening that opening a restaurant required a significant investment. He decided to patiently explore the city again, trying to familiarize himself with every street in the capital. Perhaps with a bit of luck, he could take over the restaurant and open it up.

After wandering around for several days, Lin Qingchuan finally found a restaurant that was not open for business. He asked around and found out that the owner of the restaurant was the son of a high-ranking official. Because the official had committed a corruption case, his entire family was exiled, and the restaurant was naturally raided.

The restaurant was confiscated, but it wasn't an item that could be immediately put into the national treasury. Later, the government was responsible for selling it, intending to convert it into silver to be added to the national treasury.

It was a good thing, but the restaurant had to be purchased with cash. Since it was being sold through government-arranged channels, there was no room for negotiation. In addition, the entire family of the former and former owners had been exiled, which many people considered unlucky, and no one had bought it for several days.

Although Lin Qingchuan was a countryman, he never believed in such superstitions. As long as a person behaves uprightly and does business honestly, he was not afraid of bad luck, even if the entire clan of the former and latter bosses were exiled or beheaded.

Nobody else wanted to buy it, but he happened to buy it!

Although we can't negotiate the price, it's still better than not being able to buy anything and not being able to complete the transaction.

Xiaotang is right. Only by being willing to invest can you have the opportunity to make big money. Only by starting a business can money make money.

After making his decision, he walked towards the restaurant that no longer had a signboard. Stepping through the door, he found the restaurant quiet and deserted.

Lin Qingchuan frowned, walked to the counter, and saw a person lying on a recliner behind the counter, holding a book and snoring.

"Excuse me for disturbing your rest, may I ask..."

The sleeping man vaguely heard someone talking, mumbled as he woke up, and when he saw that someone had actually come in, he instantly became alert.

He rubbed his eyes, then ran out with a big smile and stood in front of Lin Qingchuan.

"You want to buy this restaurant, right? It's in a great location with a lot of foot traffic. The restaurant is 90% new, and all the tables, chairs, and other furniture are also 99% new. You can use it immediately after you buy it; you don't need to buy anything else..."

Talking to this chatterbox made Lin Qingchuan seem shy, and he cautiously inquired about the price.

"How much silver would it cost to buy this restaurant?"

"Five thousand taels, in cash."

"Five, five, five...five thousand taels?"

Lin Qingchuan was taken aback. He had heard that the restaurant was expensive, but he hadn't heard it was this expensive, costing five thousand taels of silver. With five thousand taels, he could open ten or eight restaurants in Dushui County.

Seeing the look of disgust on Lin Qingchuan's face, the man immediately advised, "There's nothing we can do about it. This restaurant has been confiscated. The price set by the government is to be converted into cash, and we have no right to give you a discount."

Fortunately, this place is in a good location, close to the city center. Most people on these streets pass through here, whether they are coming from the south or going to the north, they will stop here.

"We can have restaurants on the first and second floors, and use the third and fourth floors as an inn. We'll be fully booked every day. Once the restaurant is up and running, why would we be worried about not making money?"

Five thousand taels of silver was not something he couldn't afford with his current wealth; it was just that he was somewhat surprised and felt a pang of regret at having to come up with so much at once.

However, there's no better place to buy and open a restaurant now.

Let's buy this and give it a try!

Judging from the current situation, if it fails to open, it will be even more difficult to resell it.

However, with the dishes Xiaotang has researched and the opening promotion model, he is confident that he can open the restaurant and make it a success.

Let Xiaotang come down the mountain and let her test the results!

Seeing that Lin Qingchuan remained silent and seemed lost in thought, the man felt slightly disappointed, and even his smile faltered.

After waiting for several days, someone finally came to inquire about the price. Upon hearing that it was five thousand taels, he immediately fell silent.

This seller is really in a tough position. It was originally a restaurant that could bring in a lot of money, but the owner and his entire family were exiled. Doing business is all about luck, and nobody wants to run into bad luck for fear of getting it on them.

Otherwise, the restaurant would probably have been snapped up by a lot of people the moment it tried to sell.

He patiently probed again, "So, do you want to buy it?"
