When the news spread that Shen Qingyu was going to give everyone Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, everyone was incredulous!

In the past few months, everyone who worked in the various workshops has received a considerable amount of wages, and now they are even giving out holiday gifts.

And it's Lai Fu Kee mooncakes?

Good heavens!

That's Lai Fook Kee!

Lai Fook Kee is the most expensive dim sum restaurant!

The villagers were abuzz with discussion, all praising Shen Qingyu's benevolence and righteousness.

When Uncle Lizheng came to talk to Shen Qingyu about this, he was still worried: "Qingyu, if you ask me, this mooncake is just a token, one small one per household, enough to offer to the ancestors on Mid-Autumn Festival! You must not give out too many."

Shen Qingyu looked at the village head with curiosity: "Why?"

"You're making money at first and distributing things to everyone, but business always has its ups and downs. What if you can't make as much money in the future and you can't distribute the products? They'll complain about you, what will you do then?"

"It would have been better not to whet everyone's appetite in the first place, so that they won't be disappointed later and you'll end up with complaints after spending money."

"Anyway, the people working in various workshops have all earned a lot of money. If you ask me, if you give them every penny, you'll be their savior!"

Shen Qingyu laughed upon hearing this: "That's not wrong. From an insurance perspective, we really shouldn't have sent these."

But Shen Qingyu was confident that she would only earn more and more money, not less and less.

However, Uncle Lizheng's words also reminded Shen Qingyu.

“Uncle Village Head, please tell everyone that this year’s harvest was good and I made money, which is why I can give out these things to everyone. If I don’t make money one day, I won’t give them out anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lizheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what I think too. We must say this in advance, so that they don't get used to taking things and think it's their due. From now on, no matter what, they'll all look forward to you giving them things."

It's best to say things upfront.

With only two days left until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lai Fu Ji's mooncakes and pastries were ready.

Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu followed Qi Yunxiao, first going to Laifuji to get some mooncakes and pastries, then going to the soap workshop to distribute the mooncakes and pastries there.

One mooncake and two packs of pastries per person.

The mooncakes are two-pound packs of five-nut mooncakes, and their sweet aroma can be smelled even through the oil paper.

The two packets of pastries included one packet of mung bean cake and one packet of osmanthus cake.

As the workers lined up to receive their supplies, many of them had tears in their eyes.

They never imagined they would one day be able to eat Lai Fook Kee dim sum and mooncakes.

Especially the refugees, who were originally starving, now that they have sold the chili peppers, they can not only pay off the debt of grain they owed Shen Qingyu, but also have enough to eat and earn money by working!

These days... are better than before we fled famine!

The thought of this made me incredibly restless. I couldn't wait to take the pastries and mooncakes home and show them to my family!

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Shen Qingyu smiled and reminded them, "There are too many orders for this soap, so everyone can't take a break anytime soon. You only don't need to come to work on Mid-Autumn Festival, but you still can't rest the rest of the time."

The people at the soap factory roared in approval!

With such a good employer, what's there to be unwilling about?

Moreover, this soap business is based on piecework wages; the more you make, the more money you earn.

Who would complain about money being too hot to handle?

There was a very efficient older sister who could work at the speed of two people and earn eighty coins a day!

So, by that calculation, she could earn more than two taels of silver a month by herself!

I heard that ever since she started earning so much money a day, her mother-in-law has stopped letting her do housework when she gets home, afraid that she'll get too tired and won't be as efficient when she comes to work at the soap workshop.

The fact that women could work and earn money in the workshop, and earn so much money, became a sensation in the town!

Many resourceful families, upon hearing this, went around asking if they could get jobs in the workshop.

Uncle Lizheng has never been so popular in his life; these days, the threshold of his house has been worn down by people coming and going.

When Shen Qingyu and the others returned to Shenjia Village from the town with mooncakes and pastries, many families were already eagerly waiting for them.

This is unprecedented!

The children waited at the village entrance early in the morning, just to witness the process of bringing the snacks and mooncakes to Shenjia Village.

Shen Qingyu didn't stand on ceremony. She piled all the mooncakes and pastries under the big tree at the entrance of Shenjia Village and had Uncle Village Chief, who was already prepared, strike the gong!

As the "bang bang bang" sound echoed through the village nestled in the mountains, the men and women of Shenjia Village gathered under the big tree.

The refugees knew that the place was small, so although they didn't all gather together, they stood in twos and threes on the hillside, looking this way.

The workers listened to the village head's words, finished their work early, and gathered together.

In no time, the area under the big tree was packed with people, and the hillside behind the mountain was also full of people.

The village head started speaking in a loud voice.

"Fellow villagers, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days away. Our bosses, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu, said that everyone has had good luck this year, and she has made money too!"

"She said she wanted to give mooncakes and pastries to everyone who worked in her workshop!"

"She said that as long as she makes money, she'll still have things to give away!"

"Everyone, let's work hard! Do things well, make the products high-quality, so she can earn more money, and we can earn more wages too, so she can give us more supplies in the future..."

After he said that, everyone burst into laughter.
