The two children were stunned by Li Yan's sudden words. After a few seconds of reaction, they nodded eagerly and said anxiously: "Girl, no need to ask, we will go tomorrow!" Daya on the side agreed again and again.

Although the silver money Li Yan paid was not very high, it was already very rare for two children who were only twelve or thirteen years old to earn these copper coins every month. Even if the man went out to work, he would only earn this much in a month after deducting his expenses.

Zhao Da was also very happy at this time. He had told his father a few days ago that the little girl from the Chen family had found a job with the girl, so he also wanted to ask Li Yan for a job for his eldest daughter.

His idea only led to a scolding from Old Master Zhao: "The girl's parents are both dead, and there's really no one to make money, so she came to Miss Li for help. Our girl provides her with accommodation and food, and she also has money every month. I'd say you're just greedy! Don't mention it now. If the girl is really too busy, she will make arrangements!"

Zhao Da was speechless after hearing what his father said. He was indeed short-sighted. How could he compare with someone else's child who had no parents and two younger brothers?

Li Yan was completely unaware of what Zhao Da was thinking. She just said a few words to the two of them and then went back home.

At the same time, some of those who picked up soy sauce from Li Yan and went out to sell it today went directly to restaurants and food stalls in the city, while others went door to door to sell it in the wealthy residential areas.

Also because Li Yan opened this shop, the people of Rongcheng all knew that Li Ji soy sauce was in short supply. When they saw someone carrying Li Ji soy sauce out to sell, they would all ask for half a catty or a whole catty.

Those who carried soy sauce out to sell were very happy.

But for some people who are not so well prepared, some people want to buy them as gifts, but they don’t have bottles to put them in, which makes them miss the opportunity to make money!

Just as those people realized the importance of this small bottle, a major event happened in Yaokou Village.

The patriarch of Yaokou Village gathered all the villagers of Chenjia Village together and held a meeting.

Because Li Yan's soy sauce business is booming, the income of the villagers in Yaokou Village has also been boosted. These days, people come to Yaokou Village from time to time to customize small bottles from Li's Soy Sauce Shop.

This should have been a happy occasion, but on this day, Chief Li called all the villagers to his home for a meeting.

At this time, everyone was sitting in the courtyard of Patriarch Li's house, talking about their recent business situation. In just ten days, they earned more money than they earned in a month.

From time to time, someone would come to our house to order the small bottle. Although we were sitting here, our hearts were already at home.

They were immersed in the joy of making money, without considering that this business might not last long.

The old patriarch looked at the smiling faces of the villagers in the yard, but they had not yet thought that once those families already had this small bottle, it would not be so easy to get them to pay for it next time. The old patriarch wanted to carry on this business for a long time, so he called everyone to his home.

The old patriarch raised his hand, signaling the villagers in the courtyard to be silent, and then said, "Have you ever thought about making this deal long-term?"

Needless to say, the villagers below gave affirmative answers.

"Have you ever considered that this small bottle, like the large earthenware jars and water tanks, will become less popular once there are enough of them in the market?"

This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking up the fiery hearts of the villagers. The scene was instantly filled with complete silence.

They understood this kind of situation too well. If Li Ji hadn't wanted that small bottle this time, wouldn't their Yaokou Village be experiencing the same predicament?

Are they going to have to go through this kind of predicament again? Everyone present was a little confused.

At this time, Old Master Chen stood up and said, "Chief, since you called us here, you must have a solution. Tell us!"

In fact, Mr. Chen had known about this matter for a long time. It was he who went to see the Chen clan leader and told him about the current predicament. If you want to know why he had such an awareness, it has to start from when Li Yan asked Mr. Li to help customize the fermented bean curd bottles.

Li Yan’s idea is to make fermented bean curd affordable for the general public. If the cost is too high in any aspect, it will inevitably affect people’s willingness to buy!

To reduce packaging costs, she instructed her grandfather, "Grandpa, when you go to order these fermented bean curd bottles, please advise Old Man Chen that if their business wants to continue in the long term, the price of these containers must be kept down. You can suggest that they build a larger cave and centrally fire the clay pots. This will reduce wood consumption and lower costs."

If you knew that large-scale industries would be much more economical than working alone at home!

So, after receiving advice from Mr. Li, Mr. Chen rushed to the clan leader's house without stopping. The two discussed in the room for an entire afternoon and finally reached a consensus, which led to the scene today.

Everyone eagerly echoed, "Yes, Chief, if you have any solution to our village's predicament, please tell us!"

Patriarch Chen coughed, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "I've thought about it. If you want others to buy your products, the only way is to make them cheap and affordable for the people!"

"Not to mention the soil and labor, even the wood costs money. Even if it's cheap, how can we expect to get any work?"

"I have an idea. Let's build a large kiln together. Each family can provide people to make the blanks, and then we can fire them at the same time. This way, even the prices of water jars and pickle jars can be reduced. Those who didn't buy them before because of the high prices may be able to buy a few more!"

When will rural people complain about having too many pickle jars? It's just that they can't bear to spend the money to buy them!

"How do we divide the money we earn?" This is the question that everyone is most concerned about.

"We all make the blanks together, fire them together, and share the profits. Of course, this isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. To prevent anyone from being cunning, we can find six of the best craftsmen in the clan to be in charge of reviewing and supervising the process."

Of course, doing so is also conducive to unifying the selling price, avoiding blind competition, and preventing price confusion, where one price today and another price tomorrow affect reputation!

In the end, this matter was supported by the majority of the villagers in Yaokou Village, with only three or five families being unwilling.

This has no impact on the overall situation, so Mr. Chen made the decision immediately!

As for those three or five families who regretted it in the future, that is a story for later!
