Chapter 80 Recruitment
Seeing that Shopkeeper Lin was feeling guilty, Shen Yuexi continued, "How about 190%?"
Even if she only took 10%, she believed that Manager Lin would not make less money.
The two men stood in the yard, haggling over the share of the medicine.
Shopkeeper Lin hesitated for a moment, pretending to be worried, but in fact he just didn't want Shen Yuexi to think that he compromised too quickly.
After a moment, he finally made up his mind.
"Since Madam Pei suggested a 190-100 split, I'm not opposed to it. However, I'd like only my family to sell. Do you think that's feasible?"
As for him selling it to someone else, that's his business.
Shen Yuexi did not immediately agree with Shopkeeper Lin's words, but said, "I can agree to sell it to you, but..."
"But what?" Shopkeeper Lin asked.
Shen Yuexi walked back and forth in the yard with her arms folded, looking anxiously at Lin Zhangui.
"But the price can't be too high. It has to be affordable for ordinary people." For the medicine produced by Shen Yuexi, making money is only one aspect. The more important thing is to provide it to those who need it, and it would be best if everyone can afford it.
Shopkeeper Lin hesitated, not knowing why Shen Yuexi would make such a request.
After a little thought, he agreed to Shen Yuexi's request.
Although the profit is a little less, it is better than nothing. What if Madam Pei doesn't sell medicine to him, he won't make a penny.
He readily agreed: "Then let's keep the current price. What do you think?"
Shen Yuexi nodded in agreement.
The two of them discussed this, and at noon, Manager Lin left.
"Miss Shen," Li Wan called her from behind, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Yuexi turned around and saw Li Wan walking towards her. There was no complaint on her face, as if she was a different person from yesterday.
"It was my fault yesterday. My mother and I ended up like this. I forgot that my cousin was married. I'm sorry for any offense. I hope Miss Shen won't be angry with me."
Although he said this, calling Shen Yuexi "Miss Shen" made the words less sincere.
So you want to get involved with a married man, and she can't say anything?
Shen Yuexi was too lazy to pay attention to her and just said lightly: "Miss Li, I'm not angry. If you really want to help, it's not impossible..."
Pointing to the kitchen, Shen Yuexi said, "Clean up the kitchen, and you will be the one to cook dinner tonight."
After saying this, she didn't even look at Li Wan's ugly face and floated away.
Li Wan stood there, staring at Shen Yuexi's back, her eyes red, tightly clutching the handkerchief in her hand. After a long while, she managed to utter:
"Chen Yuexi, you are going too far!"
Shen Yuexi didn't even stop after stepping out of the door, letting the unwilling voice spread throughout the courtyard.
Shopkeeper Lin wants a large amount of allicin capsules today, but she hasn't made any medicine in the past two days.
Now that she is the only one left, it is impossible for her to produce so many allicin capsules at once, so she can only ask the women in the village for help.
She came to the village head's house.
In broad daylight, the villagers had already gone to work in the fields. Since the village had its own well, they had rushed to plant a large number of autumn vegetables and used the well water to irrigate the fields. Xiaogang Village was gradually regaining its former vitality.
The only person at home was the headman's pregnant daughter-in-law. When she saw Shen Yuexi coming, she hurried out to greet her.
"Mrs. Pei is here. Come in quickly," the village head's daughter-in-law came out to greet her and asked as she walked in. "What's the matter?"
Every household in the village has earned some income from selling Pei Niangzi's garlic, which is much better than the days before when they had no water and no money. Many farmers now raise chickens and ducks.
Now everyone is grateful to Madam Pei.
Shen Yuexi saw that she had a big belly, which looked like a colander, round and plump.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask the women in the village if they would be willing to come to my place and help me make medicine. I'll pay them six hundred copper coins a month."
She had heard this price from Yang Cong before. Usually, when everyone was free, the men in the family would go to Dongji Town to find some odd jobs.
As far as she knew, all the work they did was heavy physical labor, but the wages were not high, only ten copper coins a day.
The price offered by Madam Pei was six hundred copper coins a month, which was equivalent to twenty copper coins a day.
When the village head's daughter-in-law heard this, her eyes lit up. Even ten copper coins a day, let alone more than twenty, was quite a lot. Besides, she didn't have to travel far; she could earn money right here in her own village.
"Madam Pei, do you think I can do it?" The village head's daughter-in-law looked at Shen Yuexi expectantly.
From what Madam Pei said, it seemed that any woman from the village would be enough. She felt that even with her large belly, she could still do something.
Shen Yuexi glanced at her belly, feeling a little worried.
"You don't have to worry about my belly. I do all the housework at home now." The headman's daughter-in-law said quickly.
In other words, there is a lot of labor in the family. If it were someone else, she would have to go to the fields even if she was pregnant.
Madam Pei's conditions were so attractive that she couldn't help but be tempted.
If she worked for Madam Pei, she would earn more than the men in the family, and she could even keep some private money...
She stroked her round belly and assured again: "Madam Pei, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Although Shen Yuexi had never given birth, she knew the hardships of pregnancy. She was really afraid of overworking herself, but seeing the village head's daughter-in-law's firm attitude, she had no choice but to say to her, "Okay, I'll try to arrange some lighter work for you."
She thought about it and decided that helping to peel garlic should be possible.
The next step is to notify other women in the village, and anyone who wants to come can take the initiative to go.
"Madam Pei, I saw a new guest in your house today. Who is that person?"
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, the headman's daughter-in-law began to inquire about the two strangers who had come to Pei Niang's house yesterday.
Of course, there is also a group of men in black who look not easy to deal with at first glance. Those people regard Master Pei as their leader. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Master Pei and his wife are not simple people.
She didn't dare ask Master Pei, so she had to ask Madam Pei about the two new arrivals so that she could greet them when they met in the future.
"Those two are your husband's aunt and cousin. Something happened at home, so they came to us for refuge."
Shen Yuexi felt that the relationship between these cousins didn't seem to be right.
"So they are relatives," she reminded quietly, "someone in the village saw your cousin following your husband everywhere yesterday. She doesn't look like a relative."
At that time, she thought that this was Master Pei's concubine.
Because of this matter, the women in the village talked about it a lot. After all, no one would have thought that Mr. Pei, such a handsome man, who cared so much about Ms. Pei, would actually take a concubine. It was a bit surprising.
Shen Yuexi smiled faintly and pursed her lips: "My husband, please pity her because she just lost her family. She will feel better after some time."
Since Xiao Zhuo had already written a letter of guarantee last night, let's just wait and see. If this is their fate, she won't bother him.
Part ways amicably.
Shen Yuexi didn't want to talk about Li Wan's affairs, so she changed the subject and suddenly asked, "By the way, if any of the noble families have any spoiled food, you can bring it to my house. I can use it."
There is nothing better than using rotten food to let the universal manufacturing machine extract penicillin.
I wonder how much rotten plants the universal manufacturing machine has collected now.
