Chapter 130: Even if you make money, you can’t stay idle
Just after the next day, Shen Yi got up and started working. The butcher delivered a cart of pork just in time. While the two were settling the bill in the yard, Shen Dagou and his sister and Su Chunlin and others had also finished packing and came out.
Those who wash the meat wash the meat, those who cut the vegetables cut the vegetables, and those who knead the dough knead the dough.
While they were working, Shen Yi secretly carried two large buckets of pork to the backyard. After a while, the two buckets of pork turned into meat paste. Chen Xiang and Ruan Xiaoyu had just chopped up the pickled vegetables, so Shen Yi began to prepare the stuffing.
Everyone was busy with their own things and no one cared about each other. When they finished processing the ingredients, they found that Shen Yi had already prepared a large pot of preserved vegetable braised pork filling and was grinding peanuts in the yard.
Although Su Chunlin wanted to ask Shen Yi why he was so fast, he didn't have the chance at all. When he turned around and was busy, he immediately forgot about it and quickly lowered his head to chop the meat frantically.
The hustle and bustle in the front yard did not disturb Su Tai who was sleeping soundly in the backyard. When she woke up, it was already daybreak and she could faintly hear the sounds of work in the front yard.
She then stood up and went out to take a look, only to find that everyone was so busy that they didn't pay any attention to her at all.
"Xiaoyu, where is my dad?"
Su Tai looked at Ruan Xiaoyu who was pressing the dough.
Ruan Xiaoyu smiled brightly at her, "Good morning, big sister! Uncle, Big Brother Song and my brother-in-law went out to deliver the goods. They split into three groups and we don't know how long they will take to come back. Just now, some people from Young Master Ma in town came over. We have already given them the goods. Now we are making vegetarian fillings for the temple."
Seeing that she had regained her former spirit and energy, Su Tai also started to laugh, "Okay, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, I'll make it for you now."
This time, Ruan Xiaoyu didn't bother to be polite with her. They had already eaten a few pot cakes. To be honest, this thing was really delicious, but it was also really not filling. Because it was so expensive, she felt embarrassed to eat more, so it was better to eat something substantial.
Su Tai cooked a big pot of goat milk for everyone, and steamed some buns and it would be almost done.
After eating the buns and goat milk, Su Zhan was so moved that he almost cried, "I still feel more comfortable eating this!"
"Look at what you have accomplished! If you are really hungry, just eat Guokui. How can I deny you food?" Su Tai scolded with a smile.
Su Zhan did not refute, but just sighed deeply.
A group of people were working and chatting, and time passed quickly.
When the last batch of pot-cakes was delivered around noon, everyone could finally stop and take a breath.
Su Tai quickly took out the few hundred dollars that he had prepared in advance, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. You came to work for me today, and it is only natural for me to pay you. Let's make it clear in advance, and no one is allowed to refuse, otherwise I will be angry."
Su Zhan and Su Ming looked at each other and silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongue.
Because everyone worked so hard, Su Tai raised the wages to fifty cents this time, which means three hundred and fifty cents for seven people.
Su Zhan and the others felt fine with the money, but Shen Dagou and Shen Xiang were a little terrified, "Sister Su Tai, you gave me too much today."
They were not very good at calculating, but they could still distinguish the weight of thirty cents and fifty cents.
Su Tai smiled and said, "That's right! I will increase your wages on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. After all, you have been working really hard these past two days."
Only then did the two of them feel at ease and carefully put the money into their arms.
As soon as they left, Su Zhan couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Sister, your family hires people to work every day, and it costs hundreds of coins a day. Can you earn back the money you put in?"
Su Tai pinched Su Zhan's face with amusement, "Do you think your sister can do a business that loses money? You should worry more about your own business, you don't need to worry about my side."
When the three heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and didn't pay attention to Su Tai's teasing.
When they were about to go back, Su Tai prepared some vegetables and pot cakes for them.
After sending the person away, she immediately went to the bathroom to run water so that Shen Yi could take a good bath.
When Shen Yi came out, she had already counted today’s earnings.
Shen Yi knew she was in a very good mood when he saw her like that, and he was happy too, "How much did you earn?"
Su Tai smiled secretly and said, "After deducting the capital and the 350 wen wages, we made a net profit of 4380 wen this time. From this point of view, we can make a stable income of 37 or 38 wen every month in the future. This year, we can earn more than 300 wen just from Guokui, which is also a lot of money."
Shen Yi nodded heavily to show his agreement, "Then let's try harder. Also, now there are more people working. I want to buy the two acres of wasteland next to our house and build a big yard. I can work there in the future, and it won't affect you and the children."
Su Tai was shocked. "Why do you think so? Many people are jealous of our money now. If we build a yard, I'm afraid they will be angry and gossip about us."
Shen Yi frowned, “I’m worried about this too, otherwise I would have taken action a long time ago.”
Su Tai shook her head. "You can't do it this way. If you really want to build a yard next door, you can buy the wasteland first. Don't tell others that you're going to build a house. Just say that you want to build a yard to raise pigs and plant fruit trees. We'll also plant fruit trees later. If you spread the word in advance, the villagers won't be too surprised. When you have time, build the foundation. You can take your time with the rest. There's no rush."
Shen Yi agreed, and immediately went back to find Shen Ying to buy the wasteland next to his house. This time he did not say two acres, but bought all ten acres of wasteland in front of and behind his house.
Shen Ying was so shocked that his mind was confused, "Shen Yi, isn't it enough for you to hire people to work now? Do you still want to ask for help? Is farming really that profitable?"
He felt that Shen Yi was taking too big a step, and if he continued like this he would fall flat on his face sooner or later.
Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, I don't want to farm. After buying the wasteland, I can raise pigs or plant some fruit trees. It's good to save more money while I'm young."
Shen Ying could accept this reason, took his money, and got the job done within two days.
Su Tai couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the numbers on the deed.
At this moment, the ten acres of wild rice that she planted in the Earth Time and Space were about to be harvested, earning her 90,000 virtual coins, which instantly made her forget about the wasteland that Shen Yi bought.
Now that there were some wastelands, Shen Yi couldn't bear to see them lying in disuse, so he paid villagers to help him dig river stones, and told others that he was going to build a pigpen to raise livestock.
Although everyone grumbles behind the scenes, as long as there is money to be made, who would have any objections? They would wish they could have this job every day.
Then Su Tai discovered that there were more and more river rocks in the open space next to her house, and the pile was getting higher and higher.
Even Xu couldn't sit still and came to ask, "What are you planning to do? Why aren't you making any moves?"
Su Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aunt, I also want to know what Shen Yi is going to do. I asked him, and he said there's no rush, just leave it alone. It's not a good idea to leave it alone like this. How about you and Second Uncle help find some people to dig out the foundation, and then I'll ask Ayi what he thinks."
Xu immediately agreed, and the next day she called the villagers who were working over. Together they dug the two acres of wasteland next door, especially the ditch around the courtyard wall, which was made particularly deep.
When Shen Yi came back in the evening, he saw the ditch had been cleared, and immediately moved out the cement and gravel left over from paving the bricks at home, "Wife, I have to go to Second Aunt and tell her not to pick up the stones these days. I will start building the foundation tonight, so that the villagers won't see it and it will be difficult to explain."
