Chapter 316 - 316: Checking Out the Shop
The time had already been set. They would set off on July 26th. When they reached the capital city, they would have half a month to rest.
Whether it was to gather information or to meet friends, there was enough time.
“Alright, I’ll send the shoes over on time,” Wang Chuan replied.
“Madam Hu, bring some red bean milk custard over. Also, send some for Ziluo.” Ye Muyu ordered softly.
Madam Hu nodded and entered the kitchen.
She first brought the freshly made milk custard over to the guests, then went to deliver it to Chu Ziluo.
When Wang Chuan saw it, he knew that it was fresh food. He quickly thanked her and took two bites. He found it especially amazing. It was sweet and fragrant, and it smelled like milk. He asked casually and found out that it was made from milk.
“Many thanks for Sister-in-law’s hospitality. When you have time, you can go directly to the county government to get the red contract for the shop.” “Anytime is fine,” Ye Muyu said.
Wang Chuan said, ” Then how about today? The shop has already been cleaned up, but the house hasn’t been cleaned up yet.”
“Sure.” Ye Muyu thought that it was a good time to deliver milk custard to Chu Heng at noon. She wanted to buy the shop as soon as possible. She also wanted to consider what business she was going to do.
Ye Muyu first went back to her room to change her clothes, then brought her household register and silver. This time, she planned to buy private property as a dowry. The Great Chu Dynasty allowed it, but of course, she needed Chu Heng’s consent.
Chu Heng had also met Wang Chuan, so it was obvious that he had time. Ye Muyu was not worried about disturbing him, so she naturally did not plan to delay the matter.
“Mother, you want to go to the county? I want to go too.” Chu Ziluo tugged at her sleeve and acted coquettishly.
Ye Muyu explained, “I’m just going to the county to handle the transfer of ownership. I’m not strolling around. I have to come back at noon to cook for you and Lilt Jin. You can just wait for me at home. Don’t you find it tiring to go out?”
“I’m not tired, Mother. I want to go to the county with you.” Chu Ziluo shook her head.
“Alright, then go and change your clothes,” Ye Muyu agreed.
She left Madam Hu behind to cook lunch at home, in case she could not make it back at noon and Lil’ Jin would not be able to have lunch.
Seeing that Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo had boarded the mule cart, Madam Hu quickly reminded Nenya and placed two water bottles in her hands.
“Yes, Mother.” Nenya also got on the mule cart.
Zhang Shu was in charge of driving the carriage in front.
Wang Chuan had also rushed over in a carriage. He led the way and arrived at the county in less than fifteen minutes.
The mule cart stopped at Wang Chuan’s shop.
“Sister-in-law, this is the shop. Come down and take a look.” Wang Chuan’s voice sounded from outside.
Ye Muyu alighted from the mule cart and helped Chu Ziluo, who was standing at the front of the cart, down with her daughter.
Chu Ziluo followed Ye Muyu closely and did not run away.
Nenya followed beside her, helping her with the water bottle, umbrella, handkerchief, and other items.
“Sister-in-law, this way. I’ll lead the way.” Wang Chuan first parked the mule cart in front of the shop.
His shop had a total of two storefronts. One storefront was about twelve feet long, and two storefronts were twenty-four feet long. It was eight meters wide in total.
After entering the shop, there were still some shoe cabinets in the left room. There were no shoes on them anymore. They had been cleaned up.
The room on the right was empty, and they could not tell what was inside.
When Wang Chuan saw her gaze fall on the room on the right, he explained, “This place used to have the tools for making shoes. In the past, customers came to my house mainly to get customized shoes. Some customers have special sizes, and some of them can’t wait too long..”
