Chapter 287 Borrowing Money
Chapter 287 Borrowing Money
Lin Ting was too lazy to do anything about the funeral arrangements for Shen Jizu and his mother.
On Hua Yan's side, Lin Lin will be going to the capital with Qu Yuanxun next month, and there are many things to hand over.
"Lin Ting, if I were in the capital, I would give my position to Wen Wen. What do you think?"
Wen Wen came up with many prescriptions. To put it simply, he was the third person who made the most money in Hua Yan's business, besides Lin Ting and Lin Lin.
"Wen Wen is indeed the best choice as he is very familiar with Hua Yan's raw materials and shipping procedures. He can take over Lin Lin's job."
Lin Ting found out that they had signed an agreement with Wen Wen, Hua Yan and many other management members as well.
Lin Ting will continue to develop in the future, and it is necessary and important to cultivate professional management talents in Huayan.
"Then let's do this. I'll be in the capital, and my brother-in-law will be in the capital when he becomes an official. How about we set up Huayan's branch factory in the capital?"
The capital was one of the most prosperous areas in Dongxia Kingdom, with many merchants gathering there, which was more conducive to the development of Hua Yan.
"The capital is great, but you're in a heavy body right now, and if Hua Yan does it, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Lin Lin touched her belly. It was only two months pregnant, so she couldn't see anything, but she knew that there was a little person living inside.
"I'll go observe first, and when we really get to do it, we'll do it together."
They both knew that Shen Qingzhou would definitely go to the capital to take the imperial examination next spring, and when that time came, Lin Ting could come over.
"Well, if that's the case, after the Chinese New Year this year, Qingzhou and I will set off early to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. When we arrive in the capital in February, it will be just in time for you and me to see the flowers bloom."
After the two of them made their plan, they called Wen Wen up to hand over the matters to him and told him that there must be no mistakes in all the raw materials for Hua Yan.
Hua Yan has too many things, and even if Lin Lin wants to hand them over, it will take several days.
Lin Ting brought Shen Wanyi and An Yue here every day, and only sent them back after the Shen family's funeral was completed.
Shen's mother was buried next to Shen Jizu. After the funeral, the village resumed its normal life and everyone was busy with Wushan peppers.
It's September now, and the pepper trees will continue to bear fruit as long as the peppers are not pulled out, but the yield will be far less than in the previous months.
Lin Ting learned that all the peppers from the two farms were dried before being brought to the workshop.
The main product of Wushan Workshop now is fresh and fragrant chili oil, which can be eaten directly with rice.
"Brother Li, give the order that this neutralized chili oil can only be sold to areas that can't tolerate spicy food, and this spicy chili can be sold to areas that can tolerate spicy food.
Never use spicy peppers instead of neutralized peppers just because they are out of stock, and vice versa.
Two different tastes, for people from two different living areas, if we mix them up, our reputation will be affected.
Therefore, when merchants come to us for wholesale, we must make it clear to them. It is best to tell them that they got the wrong product and that sales are low.
Li Boshi remembered what Lin Ting said. When making a product, the most important thing is word of mouth. If there is no word of mouth, it will be the biggest failure.
"Understood. I will definitely give detailed instructions on this."
In order to distinguish the two types of peppers, Lin Ting also made different patterns and engraved words on the packaging to remind consumers.
"By the way, before the end of the month, you must deliver all the account books of the Wushan Workshop to the Shen residence. We will work hard at night to calculate the accounts for this quarter and distribute dividends to all our shareholders at the end of the month."
Lin Ting calculated the dividends of Wushan Workshop on a quarterly basis. One quarter is three months, and the end of September is exactly one quarter.
"Then I'll sort it out, and we'll start counting slowly tonight."
Lin Ting is only free at night, as she is busy with Hua Yan's affairs during the day.
Shen Qingzhou went back to the academy. He still had a few months of study time. Now he was being taught personally by Mr. Lin, the dean of Yangtai Academy. Shen Qingzhou would also become Lin Yongnian's last student, and he attached great importance to him.
It's almost mid-September, and Lin Ting and Li Boxi had originally decided to start reconciling the accounts tonight.
However, Shen Zhuang, Shen Cong, and Shen Zuxiong sat in front of Lin Ting, looking embarrassed but having to come.
"Shen Zhuang, talk to your sister-in-law."
Shen Zhuang is already twenty-one years old and his marriage has been decided. It was originally planned to be the end of the year, but now the woman has suddenly changed her mind.
The reason was that too many people died in the yard of Old Shen's house, and none of them died in normal ways. She felt that the house was not good and was afraid that there were unclean things in it.
So now she requires Shen Zuxiong and his family to build a new yard, otherwise she will not marry into the family.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, I...I want to borrow some money from you."
Lin Ting has been very caring towards Shen Zhuang and Shen Cong, so Shen Zhuang was a little hesitant to ask Lin Ting for money.
But he is not young anymore and he really likes Xiaohua. In order to marry Xiaohua, he has to come to Lin Ting and ask for her help.
"What do you want to borrow money for?"
Shen Zhuang's eyes dodged and he glanced at Shen Zhuxiong. Shen Zhuxiong tilted his head to the side, as if he knew that if he asked, Lin Ting might not lend them the money.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaohua said that she would only marry into our family after we have a new house. But you already own half of our yard. I've discussed it with my father and decided to leave half of the foundation to Uncle San."
Shen Zuxiong and his two brothers had agreed that after the death of Shen Jizu, the head of the Shen family, half of the land would be given to Shen Dali. He could not take it all, after all, it was the Shen family's land.
Lin Ting called Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu in as well. Originally, when the Shen family divided up the land, Shen's mother did not give it to them.
But now only Shen Zuxiong's family is left there, so a share of Shen's mother and Shen Jizu's share should be given to them.
"Father-in-law, you both took care of the funeral arrangements for Grandma Qingzhou and Shen Jizu. You should have a share of the remaining inheritance from them."
She had to take what she deserved, and this time it was Brother Shen Zhu and his family who came to borrow money from her, so it was the perfect time to divide these things.
Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu calculated that there wasn't much left of Shen's mother and Shen Jizu.
Apart from the two houses, there was only one acre of land belonging to Shen's mother. As for Shen Jizu's land, he sold it all and ate it up himself.
Shen's mother originally had two acres of land, and one acre was given to Shen Zuoxiong, so now there is only one acre of land under his name.
"Brother, you have two sons. If I take part of the yard, it will be difficult for you to live in the house you build in the future.
I discussed it with Qingzhou's mother and she gave me her one acre of land. I don't want the old Shen family's yard anymore."
