"Miss Xia, do you know the value of these two items?" Jin Yuntian stared blankly at Xia Chunmei.

“Nothing is more valuable than the child in my belly,” Xia Chunmei said with a smile. “Besides, things only realize their greater value when they are in your hands.”

Jin Yuntian has the manpower, the money, and the connections; ginger candy can only generate more and faster profits in his hands.

Moreover, if Xia Chunmei asks for less now, it will be easier for her to ask for help in the future if something really happens.

The conditions Xia Chunmei proposed were hardly conditions to Jin Yuntian; he could easily fulfill them.

"I will bring the person and the property deed to you within two days."

Hearing this, Xia Chunmei knew that the matter had been settled. Indeed, it was better to cooperate with capable people; it saved a lot of trouble.

The two chatted about some more details, and after a quarter of an hour, Xia Chunmei picked up the teacup in front of her and said, "Then I'll use water instead of wine to wish Uncle Jin a prosperous future."

Jin Yuntian looked at the beautiful and intelligent girl before him, and with a smile in his eyes, picked up his teacup...

After finishing their drinks, the two of them came out of the private room.

When the Xu family father and daughter saw them come out, they immediately came forward.

Xu Jiamin could tell that Jin Yuntian was in a good mood, and she felt a little sore inside. Jin Yuntian had never smiled at her so gently before.

"Old Xu will arrange a carriage to take Miss Xia back," Jin Yuntian said.

Xu Qingfeng could tell from Jin Yuntian's expression that the business deal was done. He smiled and said, "Miss Xia, you're going back already? It's almost lunchtime. Why don't we go to Juxiang Restaurant for a simple meal together?"

"Miss Xia, the roasted pigeon at Juxianglou is quite delicious. Why don't we go and try it together?" Xu Jiamin also warmly invited.

"Thank you for your kind invitation, Manager Xu and Miss Xu, but I have to go back now, so I won't be able to go. I'll treat you all to a meal next time I have the chance."

"In that case, Lao Xu, please arrange a carriage to take Miss Xia back," Jin Yuntian said again.

"I can just take an oxcart at the city gate, there's no need for all this trouble."

"It's no trouble at all. The carriage is empty anyway, and the driver is paid a monthly salary."

Since Jin Yuntian had said so, Xia Chunmei didn't refuse.

With the most urgent and important matter resolved, Xia Chunmei's main task now is to settle things at home.

During the time she hid away to give birth, Xia Chunmei only planned to keep Yaomei by her side. She entrusted Qiumei and Dongmei to her aunt, as they were young and Xia Chunmei did not want them to know about these things.

In addition, I taught the cooking skills of a few women in the village so that they could continue to earn money even when I was not in the village.

However, they haven't given me a definite answer yet regarding whether they will learn it or not. Does that mean they don't plan to learn it?

Xia Chunmei thought the possibility was low, after all, who would complain about having too much money?

Just as Xia Chunmei was planning to find some time to talk to them, Aunt Lihua and her husband, and Chen Jinlian and her husband came looking for her in the afternoon.

"Chunmei, does what you said about teaching us cooking still count?" Chen Jinlian asked.

"It's a done deal, Auntie, have you thought it through?"

"We've thought it through. With you taking such good care of us, how could we not learn?"

"Then let's come in and talk. Qiu Mei, go and call Uncle Clan Chief."

Xia Xintian arrived soon after.

Xia Chunmei sent all the children away, and the adults gathered together.

Xia Chunmei first told Xia Xintian about the matter. Xia Xintian was stunned. He knew that Xia Chunmei was capable, but he did not expect her to be this capable!

She really knows how to come up with ideas: setting up a company, building a team, and developing a secondary industry.

"Chunmei, you...you really want to do this?" Xia Xintian asked again, unable to believe it.

"Yes, and I may have to leave home for a while around the middle of next month, so the company will be managed by you, Uncle. You'll have to help me with this."

Xia Xintian is a trustworthy person, and he is literate. If he were to be the general manager, Xia Chunmei could save a lot of trouble.

Xia Xintian was overjoyed that Xia Chunmei valued him so much.

If things really develop as Xia Chunmei predicted, then their Yijia Village will definitely become the richest village in the surrounding area, and even in the whole country!

Then he can become the village chief of the richest village!

Hey, just thinking about it is exciting!

Xia Mingshi looked completely bewildered: "Leave the village? Chunmei, where are you going?"

"The Jin family invited me to work in Xiangzhou City, and I have already agreed. I estimate I will be leaving around the middle of next month. I definitely won't be spending the Spring Festival at home this year. I will bring Yaomei with me. Aunt, I will have to ask you to take care of Dongmei and Qiumei."

Xia Chunmei gave them a heads-up about her departure so they could be mentally prepared.

"Chunmei, it's not safe for a young woman like you to go so far away."

"Yes, Chunmei, don't go. You're still young. How can we feel at ease if you go so far away?"

When everyone heard that Xia Chunmei was going on a long trip, they were all worried.

“The Jin family will guarantee my safety. We’ll talk about that later. Let’s get down to business now,” Xia Chunmei said. “Aunt Jinlian, Aunt Lihua, and Grandma Ming, I’ll teach you three the craft. You can’t pass it on to anyone for ten years. After that, you can do whatever you want.”

Within these ten years, once you've learned my skills, you'll be working for my company.

The basic wage is determined by the difficulty of the dishes, ranging from 28 to 32 coins. Then, for each table served, you will receive a commission of 1 coin.

Once you are able to cook independently, in principle, whoever receives the order will be responsible for its execution, and whichever team receives the order will be responsible for its execution. However, if there is a time conflict, the company will allocate the work, and the company-received orders will be allocated to the subsidiary.

Once the three of you are able to operate independently, it's like our company will have three teams ready to host banquets.

I will equip each team with the appropriate mule carts and tools, and each team will have six helpers. One of the six helpers must be a man, so that you will be safer when you go out to do things.

I know everyone is thinking of helping their relatives and friends, and I don't mind that. But you only have four spots, and the other two must be chosen from our village. They must be villagers from three generations away from you.

Many people are envious of us now. First, we and our families must unite as one and work together to earn more money. But we also need to offer some incentives to other members of our tribe so that we can all go out into the world with peace of mind.

Xia Xintian gave Xia Chunmei an approving look and said, "Chunmei's consideration is good. There are quite a few people in the village watching you. As you live better and better and earn more and more money in the future, it is hard to guarantee that no one will take advantage of you while you are not at home to do bad things."

“We have no objections. Chunmei has helped us enough. I will listen to Chunmei,” Chen Jinlian said first.

The others quickly expressed their agreement to listen to Xia Chunmei.

"Since everyone agrees, it's settled then. But let me make this clear beforehand: the people you choose must obey the company's arrangements. If they disobey or betray the company, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Oh, and pregnant women can't do it because the work is quite strenuous, and their bodies might not be able to handle it.

Chen Jinlian: "Chunmei, don't worry about that. You've thought so much about us. If any of us does something outrageous, you won't even have to say a word. I'll take care of it myself."

“That’s right, I’ll be the first to punish anyone who turns out to be an ingrate,” Aunt Pear Blossom quickly chimed in.

“I trust you people, otherwise I wouldn’t have taught you my skills.”

If you have no objections, we'll sign the contract. I'll teach you within a month, and hopefully you'll be able to start cooking next month and earn more money.

In fact, Xia Chunmei had prepared the contract long ago. The contract was written as soon as she had the idea of ​​starting a company.
