The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

the next day.

Jiang Yun then began preparations for building the house.

We'll buy the materials and hire workers to build it this month.

I hope to move into the new house before the Chinese New Year.

Although the money in hand is not enough.

However, it will take a long time, so let's start construction first.

He emptied the woodshed.

During the time that followed, as the house was being built, the family had to live in the woodshed.

Fortunately, Meng Chunmei's home was nearby, and Fang Yu had not yet gotten married.

Ling'er can take Jiang Deyue and Jiang Defan to stay at her parents' home for a while.

As for Jiang Yun and Jiang Dexian, they lived in the woodshed.

After settling into their new home, construction began.

a few days later.

Jiang Yun discovered that the landlord's family had stopped sending anyone to monitor him.

He had anticipated this.

Perhaps Fang Lihong believed that his money came from the teahouse, so he stopped paying attention to this insignificant person.

A month later.

The day to go into town to collect the money has arrived.

We're currently building a house, but we're short on funds.

He had no idea how much silver the two teahouses could bring him.

"Nobody's with us, let's take the back road."

Jiang Yun used his magic to take a shortcut into the city.

They soon arrived outside the city.

After entering the city, Jiang Yun first went to Fulin Teahouse to collect money.

The Fulin Teahouse was almost full of customers.

Moreover, these guests were dressed in fine clothes, and some were accompanied by maids.

He looks like a rich kid.

"Well said, reward me!"

A wealthy young master clapped his hands and cheered, rewarding the storyteller with a large sum of money.

Jiang Yun felt a surge of emotion.

A grand teahouse is a grand teahouse; most of the customers who come to drink tea and listen to storytelling are quite well-off.

Sometimes, people would even tip the storyteller.

Over the course of a month, the tips alone amounted to a considerable sum.

Jiang Yun stood at the door for a while, then went straight to the second floor.

"Oh, Young Master Jiang, you've arrived! The master has been talking about you every day."

Upon reaching the second floor, Guan Wu spotted Jiang Yun and immediately went up to her to strike up a conversation.

"Where is Manager Qian?"

Jiang Yun did not see Manager Qian.

Judging from appearances, they shouldn't be in the teahouse.

"Master has gone to Lanyue Residence. I will go and inform him right away. Please wait a moment."

Guan Wu served Jiang Yunduan the finest tea.

Then I rushed to Lanyue Residence to inform Manager Qian.

"Lan Yue Ju..."

Jiang Yun took a sip of tea and then remembered that Lan Yue Ju was also a teahouse.

However, this teahouse is the best and most upscale teahouse in Yongning County, and its customers are all wealthy and powerful.

That day, when Jiang Yun was looking for business, the first teahouse he entered was Lan Yue Ju.

It's a pity I didn't get to meet the owner of Lanyueju Restaurant, and I even wasted 100 coins.

After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Manager Qian finally returned to the teahouse.

Beside him was a middle-aged man with a large build.

This person was adorned with gold and silver, exuding an air of wealth.

"Young Master Jiang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

When Manager Qian saw Jiang Yun, he quickly went to greet him.

Then he introduced her to Jiang Yun: "This is Manager Meng of Lanyue Residence."

"Greetings, Young Master Jiang."

Shopkeeper Meng bowed and said very politely.

"Please sit down."

Jiang Yun stood up, invited the two to sit down, and then sat down herself.

The three of them sat at a table.

Guan Wu quickly brought over tea and pastries to serve them.

"Manager Qian, I've come to collect the silver. May I take a look at the account books?"

Jiang Yun got straight to the point.

"Of course, this was all agreed upon, but we mustn't let Manager Meng see it."

No matter what kind of business you're in, the books are always a secret.

Only Manager Qian made this statement.

He retrieved the account books and handed them to Jiang Yun for review.

During the process, they also had to be wary of Manager Meng peeping at them.

"snort!"

Shopkeeper Meng gave a disdainful snort and closed his eyes.

How can a small teahouse compare to his Lan Yue Ju?

No matter how much money you earn in the ledgers, it can't compare to the wealth of Lanyue Residence.

Why should he need to look at other people's account books?

"Go and fetch the silver; I have other things to do."

Jiang Yun finished reviewing the account books.

After confirming that there were no problems, return it to Manager Qian.

And they were ready to take the money and leave.

He just took a look.

This month, Fulin Teahouse made a profit of 85 taels.

He takes 40%, which is 34 taels.

According to the account books, he did not have any business dealings with Manager Qian before.

Fulin Teahouse only makes a profit of around 30 taels per month, with a maximum of 43 taels.

Even if he takes 40%, Manager Qian will still make a profit.

"I'll go get it right away."

Manager Qian felt a pang of regret.

When I was making money, I was happy every day, overjoyed.

It's incredibly painful and heartbreaking to let someone else take 40% of it now.

Even though I'm reluctant to part with it.

He still earns more than before.

Thinking about it that way made me feel a little better.

"Sigh, if only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

"Back then, Jiang Yun only wanted 30% of the profits, so why wouldn't I agree?"

Manager Qian brought Jiang Yun the silver, looking annoyed.

"Thank you for your trouble. See you next month."

Jiang Yun counted the silver; it totaled thirty-four taels.

After packing it into a cloth bag, I got up and left.

As I left the teahouse, I heard Manager Meng's voice behind me.

"Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment. Would you mind joining us at Lan Yue Residence for a chat?"

Jiang Yun turned around and asked, "What is it?"

"Lan Yue Ju would like to request that you write a letter, sir."

Manager Meng didn't beat around the bush and wanted to talk business with Jiang Yun.

"I can't write books about immortals right now," Jiang Yun laughed. "How about some tales of demons and monsters?"

"Demons and monsters?" Shopkeeper Meng pondered for a moment, then asked, "The demons and monsters from Journey to the West?"

"More frightening than demons and monsters."

Jiang Yun was referring to Liaozhai.

He has now exhausted all the knowledge he had.

In my memory, only Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is worth mentioning.

Moreover, I don't remember much, and what I do remember is incomplete.

However, if Manager Meng agrees, it won't stop him from making a fortune.

In any case, a business partnership with a teahouse like this wouldn't last long.

Once customers get tired of these stories, business will naturally stop.

"A scary one is fine too, I can give it a try, but I can only offer a 20% discount at most."

The guests at Manager Meng's Moonlit Abode are all either rich or noble.

They may not necessarily be interested in stories about demons and monsters.

Therefore, he could only give up 20% of the profits.

"OK."

Jiang Yun agreed.

After all, Lanyueju is the largest teahouse in Yongning County.

With a 20% profit margin each month, you can accumulate a considerable amount of money.

Most importantly, the story in his memory was incomplete and needed to be embellished by a storyteller.

"readily!"

Seeing that Jiang Yun agreed, Manager Meng led Jiang Yun to Lan Yue Residence and treated her well.

Then the two drew up a contract and signed it.

Jiang Yun then began writing Liaozhai for Manager Meng.

I racked my brains and pondered deeply.

In the end, based on my memory, I only managed to write about ten articles.

Being able to recall the general story of these ten or so stories is already quite an achievement.

By the time it was finished, it was already sunset.

Jiang Yun stretched her body.

I was surprised to see that I had achieved two accomplishments at once.

Congratulations on your family business achieving further success and completing the "Prosperous Business" achievement!

[Gain 50 achievement points]

Congratulations on completing the "Hard Work Leads to Wealth" advanced achievement!

[Gain 40 achievement points]

Jiang Yun's eyes widened.

Is this considered getting rich through hard work?

But then I thought about it again.

He works so hard to do business and earn money.

How could I not be diligent?

Having gained 90 achievement points in one go, Jiang Yun happily checked the panel.

You're only 30 achievement points away from the next entry and reward.
