“It’s okay. The workers can make the chili powder. We’ll make the sauce ourselves.”
Liu Shi paused.
“Oh, I asked Zhou Shi to get the workers for me. With the contract in hand, we won’t be afraid that they might do something bad.” Lin Xiaoyue explained.
Liu Shi’s eyes widened.
“You bought someone again?”
Lin Xiaoyue looked a little embarrassed to hear the word “again”.
“Uh…mom, the purchase this time is different from before. This time, it’s just to serve you and help with the family business.”
Liu Shi’s expression changed slightly.
“Why would I need a servant?” She muttered.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and grabbed Liu Shi’s arm.
“Why not? We didn’t have enough money in the past. Now that your daughter has money, it’s time for you to enjoy life.”
“Besides, we need reliable and capable helpers to run the family business, right?”
Seeing that Liu Shi was no longer resisting, Lin Xiaoyue said, “mom, don’t worry. I asked Zhou Shi to help me find a family of servants. There are six or seven people in the family.”
“The wife will serve you, and the husband will be our housekeeper. If there is a boy of suitable age, he can be Qing’er and Xiaozhi’s servant. The others will stay at home to help.”
Liu Shi nodded.
She thought that her daughter’s arrangement was quite reasonable.
“There are more people in the house now. I was thinking of expanding the backyard for the new servants to live in.”
There were still three empty rooms in the house. Actually, they could stay there, but Lin Xiaoyue did not want to make such an arrangement.
She now had money in her hands and was preparing to build a workshop. Why not build everything at once?
Liu Shi glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, sighed, and did not stop her.
It was useless to persuade her daughter when she had made a decision.
Moreover, it would indeed be difficult to live in a house with six or seven people.
If they gave all the empty rooms in the house to the servants, what would happen if there were guests in the house?
Iler daughter and son-in-law were getting more and more successful, so there might be many guests who would stay over in the future.
Lin Xiaoyue talked to Liu Shi for a while more before she went to cook.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue went to the village chief’s house.
When the village chief learned that Lin Xiaoyue was not only looking for people to build houses and workshops, but also looking for help, he was very excited.
“After you build this workshop, there will be more work opportunities for people in our village.”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“There might be more work next year. This year, 1 only have half a month to make spicy cabbage.”
“Haha, it will get better!” The village chief smiled.
“I also heard about you collecting cabbages. It’s all thanks to you that we didn’t have to give the excess cabbage in the field to the pigs.”
“There are a lot of cabbages on the market now. It’s very difficult to sell them even at a penny per catty. It’s rare for you to buy them at a high price.”
The village chief suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“But…do you really need so much cabbage?”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
“To tell you the truth, Ruyi Restaurant has already booked all the spicy cabbages that I want to make this year. Moreover, they have invested in my business, so the demand will be even greater next year.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flashed with hesitation, then she looked at the village chief.
“There’s something I didn’t want to mention to you so early. However, since I mentioned it today, I’ll just say it.”
“Tell me.” The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue with a serious expression.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and signaled the village chief not to be nervous.
Then, she said, “if I want to continue this spicy cabbage business in the future, it’s definitely impossible for my family to grow it ourselves. In our village, there are many families with land. I just want to ask if everyone is willing to help me plant cabbages.”
“A grown cabbage can weigh up to 3 catties. Then, I’ll buy them from everyone at a price of 1 wen per catty. One cabbage will be about 3 wen.”
“We can plant cabbages in the spring, summer, autumn and other seasons. The income may not be less than that of selling other crops.”
The village chief paused, and then his eyes immediately lit up.
Not only that, it’s even better than selling other crops!
It was more cost-effective to harvest the same crop for three seasons!
“Yue’er, are you serious?” The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue excitedly.
This was a great thing for the village! If this could really be done, every household in Daishi Village would benefit!
