Opening the Shop

"A book costs at least a few taels of silver. How many books does a bookstore sell? Wouldn't a hundred books cost a few hundred taels of silver?"

"Oh my god, I've never seen so much silver in my life." Madam Kong was speechless. Not to mention a few hundred taels, she had only seen ten taels of silver at most, but she had never seen a banknote.

When Madam Sun from the second branch and Madam Yun, the third daughter-in-law who came with them, heard this, they were also shocked.

This was especially true for Madam Yun. When her maiden family was still doing well, she had seen a hundred taels of silver notes. Therefore, she knew how much it cost to open a book shop. Not to mention the shop in town, it would cost at least fifty to sixty taels.

Even those books cost more than 300 taels.

So much silver.

Even at the peak of her family's prosperity, her family's savings were only about 200 taels.
