There was, but he could not give it to Xie Yu for free. After all, there were other descendants in the family. If Grandpa Xie was too biased, it could easily cause a fight in the inner house.
Therefore, Xie Yu could only fork out money to buy it.
200 taels could only buy three shops, and he had to pay for the rest. At the same time, there were also the costs of manpower, management, raw materials, and the oven.
After Xie Yu calculated the costs, he decided on this distribution method.
After Chu Heng read it, he signed it without asking any unnecessary questions. It was obvious that he had made up his mind to trust Xie Yu.
This was the first time Xie Yu had had someone trust him so unquestionably. For a moment, he was filled with passion and swore in his heart that he would definitely succeed in this business and not disappoint Chu Heng.
Although his father and grandfather both valued him quite a lot, and even the family did not let him feel the slightest bit of unfair treatment, Xie Yu only experienced this kind of unconditional trust from Chu Heng.
In his studios, although his grandfather and father often praised him, they also did not forget to give him a lecture.
Xie Yu had been noble since he was young and had never suffered any grievances. However, he was also smart. Under the careful upbringing of his father and grandfather, he was raised well.
However, it was precisely because the two elders had high expectations of him and hoped that he could walk the path of the imperial examination and bring honor to his ancestors that he inevitably became a conservative.
Although doing business made Xie Yu experience a feeling of independence, he also knew that the imperial examination was the most important thing.
Therefore, other than asking about the progress of the shop before he went to bed every night, he did not ask much at other times.
It was the same today.
His father gave him another difficult question. After the debate, Xie Yu thought of learning from everyone’s strengths, so he did not study alone. He planned to go to the academy to ask the other students for their opinions.
He had just walked out of the door when he encountered two groups of subordinates.
The first batch of people to arrive was Butler Xie Rong, who was in charge of preparing to open the shop and was following Xie Yu.
He rushed back in a hurry and saw that Xie Yu had just left the manor door and hurriedly bowed.
“There’s no need to be so polite. Is there something important that you’re back
for?” Xie Vil did not know what could happen in the shop. so he asked directly-
Xie Rong did not dare to hide it and said with a smile, “Third Young Master, it’s a good thing.”
“Some time ago, you asked someone to bring the blueprint of the oven over. I made it according to the instructions. Now that the oven is complete, I’ve tried the first batch of pastries.”
“I thought that Young Master would like the Soft Fragrance Cake made by the oven, so I came back to call Young Master over to taste it. At the same time, you should also see the magic of this oven.”
Xie Yu was interested. “Have the other shops finished building the oven?”
“No, only the shop in the county is done. I didn’t know the effect of the oven previously, so…” Xie Rong did not need to say much, Xie Yu already knew what his usually cautious personality was thinking.
“Alright, then I’ll go over and take a look. Tell me, what’s so special about that oven?” Xie Yu asked.
“This one doesn’t understand either, but the Soft Fragrance Cake made by the oven is even sweeter. It might be similar to a kiln…”
Xie Rong used a very appropriate adjective. Xie Yu laughed when he heard it, “It is like a kiln, but I’m using it for pastries.”
Xie Yu took two steps forward and bumped into Shopkeeper Xie rushing over again, almost bumping into Xie Rong who was standing in front.
Xie Rong stretched out his hand to pull him, and was quite serious, “Why are you running around?”
When Shopkeeper Xie saw Xie Rong, it was like a cat seeing a mouse. After all, Xie Rong was his immediate superior. Other than Xie Yu, the master, Xie Rong was in charge of the servants who followed Xie Yu..
