The Qiao family members also sat down, picked up their chopsticks, and gradually filled their stomachs with the hot food, feeling extremely satisfied.
Qiao Lian'er told everyone about her situation in the county town.
"All five shops are fully staffed, and four shops have been rented out. We'll go to Ning County to select more people tomorrow."
"Take it easy, don't overexert yourself," said Grandma Qiao.
We're not short of money. We have more than we can spend in a lifetime. The main issue is how much we earn.
“Grandma, I’m not tired. Earning money gives me motivation,” Qiao Lian’er said.
Grandma Qiao thought about it for a while. This family was in business, and would continue to do so. The men had joined the army, and their future was bright.
Besides Lian'er, everyone else in the family should also step up and try to maximize everyone's abilities and unleash their potential.
"Have your sister-in-law and your two older sisters go with you tomorrow, so they can learn how to manage people and run the shop."
As for the daughters-in-law, they have many responsibilities at home, such as finding pig feed, cutting cattle grass, selling fertilizer, managing the yard, and doing farm work. Doing these things well is also a contribution.
Qiao Lian'er also had the same idea. She planned to take Lingyin and Xi'er to learn the relevant matters after the shop was settled. However, since Old Madam Qiao had spoken up, and considering that selecting people was also a skill, they decided to start from tomorrow.
Moreover, when Sister Xi'er and Sister Zhizhi get married, she will give the shop as part of their dowry.
Qiao Xier and the others were also happy to agree. In fact, they didn't want to be confined to their homes and fields. They also wanted to shine like Lian'er. Although they didn't have Lian'er's skills, it would be good to develop some abilities.
Without hesitation, she set off early the next morning, taking her sister-in-law and two older sisters to Ning County in a horse-drawn carriage.
Seeing how skillfully Qiao Lian'er selected people and arranged things in an orderly manner, the three of them were amazed and dared not slack off in the slightest. They quickly tried to learn from her, but they didn't know where to start.
Qiao Lian'er taught them: "When judging a person, you should first look at their eyes. The eyes are the windows to the heart. What you are thinking or what kind of mentality you have will be revealed in your eyes."
"For example, some people have shifty and wandering eyes. Such people are either timid, harbor dishonorable thoughts, or even cunning and treacherous. Also, some people, even at a young age, have 'river' lines between their eyebrows. This is because they worry too much. Such people are easily disturbed by various trivial matters, thus causing them mental and physical distress. They should not be selected."
"Some people keep their faces still, looking down, looking up, or glancing sideways at others, silently observing them. Such people are scheming and have a sinister appearance. Some people often cross their arms, which is a defensive posture and shows distrust towards others."
"There is also walking. People with strong energy and good physical strength walk with a steady gait, while people with weak kidney energy and poor physical condition walk with an unstable gait."
Qiao Lian'er's analysis focused entirely on demeanor and posture, not physical appearance. For example, some people are born with features like three-white eyes and thin lips, but they are kind-hearted and upright. Therefore, using these characteristics to make a point is unfair to certain groups of people.
The three listened carefully and thought about it. The people they had encountered in their lives did indeed fit Lian'er's analysis very well.
Although the sickle was the smallest, it was the most observant.
“I plan to have each of you manage two shops. Once you’ve had more time and become more proficient, you’ll be able to manage them all.”
"Really? But we're still learning and don't know anything yet. I'm afraid we won't be able to manage it well." Qiao Xi'er wasn't very confident.
If she had any skills in this area, she would love to use them right now.
"It's not that I'm asking you to do anything. There are people managing the shop, so you don't have to do many things yourself. Just go there often and pay attention, and you'll develop your own insights."
"No matter how much I tell you, you can't learn more than by doing it yourself."
"Okay, Lian'er, quickly allocate me a shop. Starting today, I'm the little boss lady." Qiao Zhizhi rubbed her hands together, ready to get started.
