Chapter 102 The Conservative Jiang Family

Xia Daohua originally thought that convincing the money-raising team to agree to let her bring her parents in as well might be a huge project that would require a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, she just mentioned it and everyone nodded.

Lihua said:

"Finally you told me this. I thought you had forgotten about it."

Wu Lang also nodded: "Our father and mother are both kind people, they will definitely not erase the contributions of Brother Er Lang and Sister Tao Hua."

Of course, the money-making team is not completely without ideas.

Erlang and Taohua were a little worried: "It seems that our identities can no longer be concealed."

Tears welled up in Taohua's eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can!"

Linghua was also a little annoyed: "Sister, if you tell her, will our mother take all our money? If I had known, I wouldn't have saved it so hard! I would have exchanged it all for candy balls!"

Xia Daohua thought about it and realized that this was indeed a problem.

But she still smiled and touched Linghua's head:

"Just keep your copper coins. If you're worried, just leave them with me like before. I'll hide them for you, and I guarantee no one will find them!"

Linghua breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Xia Daohua's hand and shook it several times:

"Then let's make a deal! Sister! You must hide well for me! If our mother wants to take it away, you have to resist!"

Xia Daohua smiled and said, "Look how smart you are! Don't worry!"

She gently pinched Linghua's nose, then raised her head and smiled at Erlang and Taohua:

"Brother Erlang, Sister Taohua, your contributions can actually be kept secret.

I just said that I wanted to involve my parents, but I didn’t say that I wanted to make this matter completely public!

Of course, it would be impossible to completely hide the secret from my second uncle and his wife without letting any information leak out.

But we can solve this problem in another way.”

Erlang and Daohua's eyes lit up: "How to solve it?"

Xia Daohua smiled slightly:

“When the time comes, I will openly pay you two a salary each.

Calculated based on working days.

For example, if Erlangge goes out for a day, he will give you two cents. If he goes out for ten days, he will give you twenty cents.

Taohua earned two cents for a day's run, and twenty cents for ten days' run.

If they do work at home, such as Erlang cutting bamboo and Daohua making bamboo rice, their wages can be calculated based on the number of days or the amount of work.

Of course, I won’t ask for too high a salary.

When the time comes, you can spend it on yourself or give it to your second uncle and aunt.

But in fact, I still give you a share of the money.

With this salary in the open, can't the hidden share of money be concealed?"

Taohua and Erlang listened with shining eyes, and the other children also listened very carefully. Everyone thought this was a good idea.

Erlang nodded: "I think two cents a day is still too high. Let's calculate it as three cents for two days!"

Taohua also nodded with a smile: "I think you can give me less, one penny a day is enough."

Xia Daohua raised her eyebrows, but before she could speak, Erlang and Taohua saw her doubts and said with a smile:

"Daihua, don't worry.

Normally, all the money we earn now should be turned over to the public.

But you have seen how your second uncle and your second aunt treat us on a daily basis.

No matter how much the wages are given to us, it is just a formality. In the end, it will all fall into the hands of your second uncle and your second aunt.

To be honest, both of us are neither happy nor willing to accept it.

Another thing is, if the salary is too high, they might get jealous and cause trouble."

Xia Daohua responded straightforwardly:

"Okay, let's do it this way. As for the wages, we'll think about it later and see which plan is the best."

In fact, she was a little worried that Erlang and Taohua wouldn't understand.

Unexpectedly, although they are usually kind and don't like to care about things, they are not easy-going.

On the other hand, if they were really idiots, they wouldn't have secretly found me and joined the money-making team without telling the second wife and her husband.

The reason why people hide private money, make private money, and save private money, isn’t it because they see through it?

If this honest man is disappointed, he won't be willing to suffer losses all the time.

Next, we summarized the small business during this period. Bamboo rice and subsequent rice balls are selling well, and rice candy and other projects can be put on hold.

But in the business of pickled vegetables, Erlang has almost done his best. Several restaurants and hotels have taken a fancy to the samples he brought, and have reached a preliminary cooperation intention and agreed to place long-term orders from Erlang.

However, these restaurants and hotels are not willing to stock too much goods at once, but they would like to buy the recipe.

However, Xia Daohua has no plans to sell her son for the time being.

She knew that these restaurants all had their own chefs, so it might not be that difficult to replicate her pickles.

But she just couldn't believe that the restaurants in Beiguan Town could find all the more than 20 spices and more than 10 additives listed in the ingredient list based on their skills.

If one seasoning is missing, the taste may be very different.

What’s more, the difference is so big?

Of course, to "process" the pickles, Xia Daohua has to avoid the sight of the other branches of the Xia family, especially the first and second branches, so she needs a reliable venue.

Building a house may have to be put on the agenda.

Not only did they have to build a house for the four branches of the Xia family, they also had to build a factory building. Or at least a place for a workshop.

This place might be used for more than just "processing" pickles.

That evening, Xia Daohua and the children of the fourth room mentioned to Xia Youtian and Jiang that their "small business" might need to expand, and they hoped that their parents could join in and lend a hand.

Xia Youtian and Jiang were both stunned when they heard the news:

"You didn't make much money, did you? And how much can you sell in a day? First you had the stall, and then you added the cart. Isn't that enough for you to work so hard?"

Xia Daohua smiled and said:

“Small fights and quarrels are naturally enough.

But these few days, Brother Erlang helped us contact several restaurants.

People are willing to buy the things we make and the price is quite reasonable, but they want a relatively large quantity.

Without our parents’ help, we’re afraid we won’t be able to get it!”

Jiang thought about it and still had some objections:

"Since you can't get it down, why don't you just stop doing it? There's still a lot of work to do at home and in the fields!

You kids, it's fine if you don't do your job properly. At most, I can do more housework.

If your father and I were to work on this, and if it affected the harvest, we wouldn't be able to pay our taxes or have food to eat, and we wouldn't be able to regret it!"

"Dad, what do you mean?"
