Chapter 222: Eager to Try
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.
The person Su Daya and Su Erya trust the most is Shen Yueyao.
Even Old Madam Meng had nothing to worry about. Her daughter Yao Niang was very capable, so she didn't have to worry about anything. She just needed to support Yao Niang in her work.
Dabao and Erbao didn’t understand what was being said, so they were playing with building blocks under the big tree in the yard.
The building blocks that Dabao and Erbao play with were designed by Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao designed it herself and then asked carpenter Zhou Tong to build it.
Zhou Tong now made a lot of money and became the head carpenter because he took over the order for Chen Yueyao to make chili meat sauce jars and lipstick packaging.
She took in apprentices and taught them, and also outsourced some orders.
Even if she doesn't work, she can still earn a lot of money every day.
For all these, Zhou Tong was most grateful to Shen Yueyao.
She knew in her heart that she and her daughter could live a stable life in Liuhe Village because of Shen Yueyao.
So Shen Yueyao asked Zhou Tong to make these building blocks. Zhou Tong made them overnight without saying a word, and even polished the edges of the blocks to prevent them from scratching Dabao and Erbao's hands.
Of course Zhou Tong would not take Shen Yueyao's money.
Zhou Tong usually didn't know how to thank Shen Yueyao, and she felt very happy to be able to help Shen Yueyao with something.
There are many types of building blocks. At first, Dabao and Erbao didn’t know how to play with them, so Shen Yueyao personally taught them how to play.
After Dabao and Erbao learned how to play, they loved playing with stacking blocks and building various buildings with the blocks.
They would also simulate a war between two countries, simulating offensive and defensive battles on the sand, and they had a lot of fun.
Seeing that they were having fun, Shen Yueyao didn't have to worry too much about them when she was busy with things.
Occasionally, when she has time, Shen Yueyao will draw picture books at night, telling stories through pictures, and the two children also like to read them.
They treated the picture books that Shen Yueyao drew for them as treasures and would flip through them several times every day.
There are pictures and words on it, so there is no need for explanation for the eldest and second child, they can understand it by themselves.
The characters they needed to learn for enlightenment were all taught by Su Xueyi herself.
The two children are smart and learn things quickly, so they know a lot of words.
They can understand some simple books.
Shen Yueyao, Su Daya, Su Erya and Old Madam Meng worked for the whole morning and made more than a hundred popsicles.
Looking at so many popsicles, everyone felt a sense of fulfillment.
Although popsicles are not as profitable as lipsticks, they can make you feel cool and relieve summer heat when you eat them.
Thinking that the villagers couldn't stand the heat at noon and could feel cool and refreshing instantly after eating a popsicle, they all felt that making popsicles was meaningful.
The key is that it not only makes money but also helps everyone cool down.
Su Erya said excitedly, "Aunt San, are you going to take these popsicles and sell them?"
Su Daya was also a little excited. She started helping her third aunt relatively late and had never set up a stall with her third aunt to sell things.
She used to think it was embarrassing to set up a stall, but now she no longer has this idea.
She felt that one should try everything when doing business. Aunt San said that setting up a stall is also a kind of knowledge.
So she wanted to give it a try too.
Su Daya still remembers that when she was in Nanlin Village, every time Zhu asked her to do something, she would scold her if she did it slowly.
They said she was not a lady from a wealthy family at all, so why was she acting like a spoiled brat?
She hated everyone who scolded her, but she could do nothing about it.
Fortunately, she is free from that place now.
Now that she has her third aunt protecting her, she is not afraid of anything.
However, after experiencing such an incident, she understood a lot of things, and realized that only her family would indulge her habits.
She now understands that if she wants to be respected, she must stand on her own feet and learn more.
She found that the more she learned and the more skills she mastered, the more confident she became.
She no longer dwells on the past.
Now she works with her aunt San, and every day feels fulfilling and happy.
Because although I am doing things every day, learning different things every day is just like playing.
So Su Daya's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Shen Yueyao with excitement and said, "Third Aunt, I can help too."
“I can learn anything I don’t know.”
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Daya's expression and could understand that Su Daya's words were sincere.
She no longer considered herself a young lady from a marquis's mansion, and no longer had the temperament and temper of those young ladies. She was willing to work with her family.
In fact, selling things can also help to train your character.
"Actually, if you want to sell popsicles, you can find Jiang Qi and Fang Zhen who are in charge of sales at the workshop. But I thought selling popsicles is also a good way to train yourself. Since you two are willing to do this, why don't you sell them in the village?"
"It's almost noon now, and the fields are hot. Many people are working in the fields, so I think there will be people buying popsicles."
"But don't worry if no one buys popsicles. We can still sell them at the pier in town."
"In short, when we first started selling popsicles, the main thing was to understand the market response. We didn't have to sell them out immediately."
"When running a business, even if it's a small one, we have to first look at the market feedback so we can make adjustments based on that feedback. For example, how are the sales on the first day? If it's good, we can make more on the second day. If it's not selling well, we can make less or sell popsicles somewhere else..."
"So when you go out to sell them, don't worry about whether the popsicles will sell or not. Just keep a normal attitude."
Su Daya and Su Erya learned a lot from following Shen Yueyao, and they could understand some of the words and new words that Shen Yueyao said.
Madam Meng also felt a little eager to try. She looked at Shen Yueyao and said, "Yao Niang, the workshop is now managed by a manager. Everyone in the workshop is working diligently. I went to check it out this morning. There's no need to worry."
"How about I accompany Da Ya and Er Ya to try selling popsicles?"
Old Madam Meng still remembered the time when she accompanied Yao Niang to the Beimai Village market to sell chili meat sauce and braised food.
Business is good, and I feel especially good when I sell things and collect money.
Since opening the workshop, they haven't gone out to set up stalls for a long time.
Old Madam Meng still misses that feeling a little.
It feels great to sell things and collect money at the same time, and it makes me feel good.
Every day when I go home and count my money, one bit at a time, I feel so excited.
Shen Yueyao looked at Madam Meng's expectant expression, and said with amusement and helplessness: "Mom, going out to sell popsicles is not like setting up a stall. You need to go to other villages to sell them. Even if you drive an ox cart, it will be tiring to go back and forth. You should stay at home and take good care of your body. Don't get tired."
Madam Meng waved her hand and said, "How could that be? I'm in good health now, so I can't get tired. This little bit of work is nothing. When we were farming, it was so hard. We couldn't even get enough to eat back then. Now I eat well every day, and I have strength. I don't feel tired when I go out to sell things."
