Chapter 223 - 158: Provincial Capital_1
Old man Qian’s last words moved both the first and second branch of the family. In the countryside, what does it matter if you are a shopkeeper, compared to being a resident of the provincial city? So, they all nodded in agreement.
Qian Sangui said, laughing, "Father is right. In the future, not only will our descendants become residents of the provincial city, but they will also strive to make their way to Capital City to see what it’s like at the feet of The Emperor."
These words only deepened everyone’s longing, and they all voiced their dreams for the future.
Old man Qian slapped his thigh and said, "Since we want to expand to the provincial city, why not open the main branch of ’Old Brother’ there? The transport there is convenient, there’s a large population with strong purchasing power – it’s easier to make money. Manchuan and Manhe can also go to the provincial city sooner to help Qian Sigui."
Now that Qian Sangui had thought it over, he realized it made sense, and he was excited at the idea. He told Qian Yixiu to call Qian Hua and to bring over the accounting books as well.
When Qian Hua came and reported the accounts, there were still one hundred and eighty taels of silver on the books. Old man Qian asked Qian Sangui to bring one hundred and fifty taels of silver to Qian Sigui this time, so that he could slowly establish himself in the provincial city, and their future generations could all move there to live.
"...in the future, the business will be named ’Old Brother Dessert House’, which also sounds quite pleasant," Old man Qian said proudly, tossing a peanut into his mouth.
The crowd nodded and agreed once more.
Lady Wang said with a laugh, "Technically, it’s not my place to speak at this time, but I still want to say a few words."
