Chapter 51
On the way back, Li started her ancestral accounting method again.

"It's the first time I came out today, and the bucket I prepared sold out about thirty bowls. It only took half a day!"

Qingxiu asked Li Shi, "Mom, how much are we preparing for tomorrow?"

Mrs. Li asked her two daughters, "Do you two think it's okay to prepare two barrels tomorrow?"

Shen Qingning nodded, "I think it will work!"

Qingxiu also thinks it should be possible.

In this case, Mrs. Li grabbed the money bag and began to calculate the accounts on her own.

"Two barrels count as 2 bowls. This bowl can earn more than 3 renminbi and less than 150 renminbi, and it can earn [-] renminbi in a day."

Shen Qingning reminded her, "If we sell it every day, the family must hire at least two people to help make bean curd sticks and rice noodles. These two people also need to count their wages."

Mrs. Li nodded, "Even if the two of you are paid 50 renminbi together, you can earn 100 renminbi a day! In the future, it will be enough for the two of us to set up a stall, earning 100 renminbi a day, plus selling bean curd sticks. , isn’t that almost 200 essays a day?”

Shen Qingning nodded and said, "Maybe we can sell three barrels of rice noodles every day in the future, that's almost a hundred bowls."

"Why are you thinking about good things? One day counts as 200 taels, a month is 6 taels, and this year is 72 taels. I'll be a good boy, this ten years will be more than 700 taels!!!"

Shen Qingning looked at her mother's yearning look, who said that she was thinking of good things just now?

"Mother, if you do the math, this Jiping County is all yours!"

Mrs. Li stared, "Smelly girl."

Shen Qingning raised a hand, "I think we should set our goals higher, and earn him 200 taels next year!"

"Oh, this will earn 200 taels a year. Your parents are really going to become landlords and wives."

Shen Qingning said with a serious face, "Mother can think about this now, as the wife of a landlord's house, do you want to find a few people to serve you?"

Mrs. Li ignored her daughter's nonsense, and kept knocking on her lap with the money bag, "We've only been selling it for half a day, if we sell it for a whole day~"

Shen Qingning took over the conversation, "If we sell for a whole day, we will be boiled to death in a few days! From midnight to dark, even a cow can't handle it!"

Qingxiu burst out laughing, if this day is really tormented.

Li was stunned for a moment and twisted Shen Qingning's ears, "You are the only one who talks a lot."

Shen Qingning turned her head away, "That's right! What do you want to do to make money? Do you want to make your family live a better life, or exhaust your family to death for making money?"

Mrs. Li didn't speak, of course she wanted her family to live a good life.

"The money you earn is for spending and enjoying, otherwise, even if you earn hundreds or thousands of taels a year, you will be exhausted after a few years, is it worth it?
If this father finds another stepmother, and the stepmother spends the money you earn and rubs your baby, will he ask you if you are angry? "

Li Shi gets angry just thinking about it!

She immediately changed her mind, "It's better to sell it for a long time, even if you are tired."

After a long time, Mrs. Li has become very confident about setting up a stall in her family.

When he got home, he turned around and went to Jiang's yard.

She wanted to discuss with the Jiang family about asking her sister-in-law Shen Meixiang to help.After all, I don't know what the old couple are thinking, so I'd better discuss it with them before taking action.

How could the Jiang family object? She watched her daughter and granddaughter make needle money at home every day, and she was afraid that they would burn their eyes.

"Go ahead and tell Mei Xiang, as long as Mei Xiang is willing, your father and I have no disagreements. Mei Xiang can't wait to work and make money without going out at home!"

Based on Jiang's understanding of his own daughter, he knew that Shen Meixiang would definitely be willing.

It is Li's generosity that can think of Mei Xiang in hiring someone.Hire people to work and who are you looking for?As far as Mrs. Li is concerned, finding a sister-in-law to work is better than finding an outsider..
"Don't worry, you can think about Mei Xiang first, you just want to help your sister."

Sure enough, when Shen Meixiang heard that Jiang wanted to ask her to go home to help make bean curd rice noodles, she immediately agreed.

"As long as my sister-in-law doesn't dislike my slow work, I'm willing to go."

This year's drought, the entire Jiping County or the entire provincial capital is not good.Nowadays, it is difficult to earn some money to supplement the family through sewing and threading.

"Then it's settled, 25 Wen a day, if Lan Hui is willing, she can also follow your mother to help, and give 25 Wen a day."

All the work at home is done by hand, and the laborious work like washing pulp is naturally done by Shen Dahe, he is definitely reluctant to let his sister-in-law and niece do it.

Lan Hui nodded at the side, she is willing, she is willing, she is willing to be a needleworker at home every day, she is a fool!
Shen Meixiang shook her head with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, it's not that I'm reluctant to let Lan Hui do the work. If you let me help, our mother and I will be very grateful. This woman works as a helper for 20 cents a day at most, and you paid 25 cents for it." Wen, and 25 essays for Lan Hui, what can she do with a half-grown child? We don’t take advantage of it like this, and you have a lot of children in your family.”

Mrs. Li pulled her, "I don't think Lan Hui's work is any worse than Qingxiu's. If you continue to make friends with us like this, I won't come to your house in the future."

"Second sister-in-law~"

"When my brother-in-law was here, how did your family treat us? Uncle Guan'er often brought him paper and ink. When did I have a separation with you?"

When mentioning her deceased husband, Shen Meixiang also felt sad, "He said that Guan'er is a good seed for studying."

"Then it's settled. You and Lan Hui will come over early tomorrow morning. You've seen those jobs before. It's not difficult."

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Mrs. Li waved her hand, "I'm back, there is still work waiting at home."

In the following days, Shen Qingning's family was busier than before.

Bean curd sticks are sold less in Jiping than in the past, but more and more are sold in other counties.

Shen Dahe and Li Shi both tasted the sweetness, and they went to other counties to sell their bean curd sticks from time to time.

In addition to bringing cold salad, I also listened to the children's suggestions. I brought a small stove and put a jar of yuba roast pork on the shelf. I don't need to waste my words when I go to other places. I just give the store a taste of the pre-heated yuba.

Such a novelty is not expensive, so more and more stores are willing to sell it.

Since then, Shen Dahe has added another job, spending two or three days a month to deliver bean curd sticks to neighboring Lin counties.

Because the horse cart runs faster than the donkey cart, under the coercion and lure of Shen Qingning's various teachings, the big horse in the family can finally accept Shen Dahe's random dispatch.

Now the bean curd sticks that were originally in twos and threes were directly changed into bundles of one catty, each bundle was tied with a rope, and a small piece of red paper was pasted on it.

A heavy word was written on the red paper!
In Shen Qingning's words, it is to let those who eat it recognize the taste of Shen's bean curd sticks. Once the habit is formed, those people will not give up their Shen's bean curd sticks easily!
