The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 19 The “conspiracy” between father and daughter

Li Xiaoyue used her fingers to settle the accounts for Liu Changxi. She always convinced people with her virtue, so of course she couldn't make Liu Changxi complain, but she wanted him to be convinced.

"Changxi, it is important for you to study, but it is also important to make money! You will receive four taels of silver for a year's study, plus two taels of silver for your wife's gift."

"Your food, clothing, housing and transportation are free for a year, but everything else adds up to at least two taels of silver. Plus your pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it costs another three taels of silver. My family must spend at least 11 taels of silver on you a year."

"If you get sick again or have other expenses, this will be far more than 11 taels of silver. You are the one who spends the most money in our family. You have to know that even your youngest sister Changle collects pig grass and feeds pigs every day. You are the elder brother, why can’t you do things for the family?”

"Don't tell me that you have to study. There are so many hours in a day, so you can make up for it by getting up early. Listen carefully in class and draw inferences from one example to improve efficiency and save time."

"I've said so much, I just want to tell you that you can't just sit back and enjoy the success and wait for others to offer you study. You just came up with a good idea and rewarded you with a hundred yuan. Write a hundred notifications, and I will also give you a hundred yuan. These It can be used as your pocket money.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Changxi's little abacus kept ticking, "Mom, can I control my pocket money myself?"

"Okay." Li Xiaoyue nodded. Money that cannot be used at will is not called pocket money. "Save it up yourself. When you grow up, you can go out with your friends and you will have money to spend."

Liu Changxi's eyes showed joy, "Mom, I'll write it, and I promise to write it neatly."

"Hurry up and write while it's still dark." Li Xiaoyue urged. Now that there is no separation of families, the "big pot" method can easily breed laziness.

Especially the second son and his wife, they are not the same family but they are very calculating and lazy.

The next step is to make briquettes and stoves in large quantities. She needs to develop a remuneration and reward and punishment mechanism to allow them to work voluntarily.

The more you work, the more wages and rewards you earn.Work as little as you can, and be as fair as possible with the hand you get.

Cheating and cheating won't work here!
Wu Cuihong uses a stove to bake pancakes. She doesn't need to light a fire, so she can work alone.

After making pancakes, I boiled a pot of vegetable soup on the stove and cut some pickles for cold serving. This was dinner.

Wu Cuihong especially likes the honeycomb briquette stove, "Mom, it is so convenient to have this stove. Our stove will definitely sell well."

"Of course." Li Xiaoyue is very confident. Only women can feel the convenience brought by the briquette stove. It is tiring and troublesome to cook at the same time.

Li Xiaoyue will not sell these stoves at home for the time being, but will use them as samples.After the next batch of one hundred sets is ready, they will be sold in the market.

In the evening, Old Man Li handed the land deed to Li Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, put your things away. Tomorrow I will ask your nephews to come over and help pull out the stone nirvana powder and loess."

Li Xiaoyue did not refuse and handed the money to Old Man Li, "Dad, thank you. This is money. You must accept it. By the way, Dad, there are only one tool for making briquettes at home, which is too little. I want to get a few more." , In addition, you need to use fire tongs to change the briquettes, and you have to order a hundred of these."

Old Man Li did the math and said: "A briquette tool costs five taels of silver, but it is strong and can be used for a long time. I will order ten of them and make more briquettes, which can be sold to the county in the future."

"One hundred cents for the fire tongs and the stove. How much are you going to sell it for? It's too expensive. No one may be willing to buy it. In fact, I think your big profit is the endless supply of briquettes at the back, so the stove must not be sold too expensively."

Li Xiaoyue gave a thumbs up to Old Man Li and said, "Dad, you are right! The stove will be sold at the original price. The stove and the set of fire tongs are 150 yuan. If you are not satisfied, as long as it is not broken, we will refund it." At these words, Old Man Li glared, "You are so blind and generous. You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. It is only natural. You said you can refund it. If there are artificial cracks after taking it home, you can exchange it for a new one or refund the money, right? Looking for trouble?"

"When the time comes, place it next to my meat stall, put two burning stoves, keep boiling water, put bowls on the table, and drink water for free, and a lot of people will gather. If everyone sees it, they will buy it; if they don't see it, they will buy it. Come on, unless you give it away for free, you can find a lot of faults."

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she was in awe. She could not just apply the service consciousness from her previous life to the present.

"Dad, you are right. Our briquettes and stoves focus on being convenient, clean and cheap. With so many advantages, there is no need to make it too complicated."

"Now a load of firewood costs fifteen cents, which can last our family a day. Using briquettes costs six to eight yuan a day. We pay one penny for a piece of briquettes, and at most eight pieces of briquettes are enough, which is eight cents."

"In addition, it is clean, does not take up space, and is convenient. It will definitely impress people in and around the city. The stove and briquettes will also be easy to sell."

Old Man Li was very pleased, "Yes, anyway, loess and stone nirvana powder are free of charge. I heard from San Qiang that yesterday he could make thousands of pieces of briquettes in one day. This is only one tael of silver, which is more cost-effective than killing pigs and selling meat. !”

Nowadays, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and meat is getting harder and harder to sell. Every summer is the off-season.

Originally, he wanted to take his son and grandson to the county town to find some work, but now that his daughter has briquettes at home, there is no need to go elsewhere to find work.

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Dad, you go back to my brother and nephew and ask them to come. They will be paid fifty cents a day. Don't go to the county town to find work."

"Come here to help, no wages required." Old Man Li refused. His family still had savings, and his family's life was better than that of his daughter's family.

Li Xiaoyue refused, "Dad, you have always taught us brothers to settle accounts clearly. When you come to work with me, you don't just work for a day or two, you do it all the time. You can't do it without paying me."

"Whether it is making briquettes, stoves, or selling briquettes, people are needed. Instead of me going to find people in the village to work, why not let my family work together."

"Dad, I've done the math. There is still some Shinie on the edge of the Shinie abandoned mine, which is six or seven acres in size, enough for us to work for three years. After we finish digging, we will stop doing it and start other businesses."

Old Man Li nodded, lowered his voice, his big eyes were full of cunning, "Actually, I also secretly dug with a shovel, and I also discovered that they were all fine stone nirvana remnants on the edges."

"The previous mine owners looked down on it, but we can use it to make briquettes. Originally, I wanted to buy ten acres, but the county government said I had to buy whatever I wanted. It was worth spending more money to buy thirty acres."

"Fortunately, the price is not high, but after three years, you will have to pay a tax of [-] taels per year. However, you can grow some pasture on it and feed cattle and sheep. It is also good."

Li Xiaoyue believed deeply, "Dad, you are right. With you here, I feel at ease."

Old Man Li was coaxed happily by his daughter and was quite proud, "This is a good business. No, I won't talk to you anymore. I will go to the town and ask Blacksmith Wang to make briquette tools for us overnight. We will try to make it tomorrow. start."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Xiaoyue to answer, Old Man Li strode away with wind on his feet.

Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled. It was great to have a father who thought about everything for her!
Just when Li Xiaoyue moved the dining table to the yard and prepared to eat before the sun set, there was a rapid knock on the door.
