The village chief was naturally grateful for the kindness of the Ruan siblings.
Forget about monthly wages, as long as it can help the villagers live a better life, they would be willing to work their whole family without charging any money!
But Ruan Qian insisted that, after all, the village chief's family helped with the oyster harvesting, especially since the tides were evenly divided recently, and they had to go beachcombing twice a day, which was actually quite a lot of work!
Although Feng's two sisters-in-law helped count and record the oysters, Feng Yun and Feng Xi would also help with the transport and handover to the Ruan family before and after the oyster harvest.
The village chief also frequently attended, and a total of five people were involved.
How could we let the Ruan family work for free?
Moreover, a large part of the reason Ruan Meng was willing to help the villagers was because she thought the village chief was a good person.
Finally, the village chief and Ruan Qian agreed that their two daughters-in-law would help purchase the seafood, but would not be charged monthly wages.
They will calculate a suitable price based on costs and purchase the goods from the villagers.
The price difference between Hejia Restaurant and Hejia Restaurant can be considered their fee for their hard work.
In addition to acquiring and controlling the quality of the goods, they are also responsible for transportation.
Each villager can't collect much seafood by going to the beach. If they send it to the city one by one, or select a few villagers to help deliver it every day, it's not a long-term solution.
The village chief had his son and daughter-in-law deliver goods, and they could also take the bamboo baskets and other supplies made by his second son to the city to sell. The price difference meant they weren't working for nothing and could earn some hard-earned money.
Ruan Qian knew that, given the village chief's kindness, he would try his best to give benefits to the villagers.
Even if they don't charge a monthly fee, they won't let their family earn too much.
It is precisely because of the village chief's benevolence that Ruan Qian is even more convinced that Fengjia Village is worth helping and will get better and better in the future.
After the matter was settled, Ruan Qian made his request.
Upon learning that the Ruan family wanted to eat bananas, Brother Feng would never ask for money.
He gave Ruan Zheng a bunch of bananas that he had picked himself.
Seeing that Ruan Zheng's expression seemed insufficient, he told them to wait at home, as he knew where there were banana trees on the back mountain.
My brother and I cut two baskets of vegetables and brought them back. We didn't keep any for ourselves and sent them down the mountain to the Ruan family.
Feng Xi resolutely refused to accept the money, but Ruan Qian did not insist and planned to wait for his younger sister to cook something delicious and send some back to them.
When Ruan Meng saw the two baskets of bananas, she suddenly had a new idea.
If you're popular, you might even be able to make money!
Xiao Kai said he would bring oil and sugar next time. Ruan Meng kept a little oil and used the remaining oil and sugar to make nine plates of candied bananas.
Two plates were delivered to the Song family, the Fan family, and the village chief's family, and half a plate was given to Granny Liu, as Ruan Meng was worried that the old woman would get a toothache from eating too much...
The third brother stared blankly at the remaining two and a half plates.
He licked his lips, unable to resist, yet also encouraging everyone.
Ruan Meng stuffed half a plate of candied bananas into her third brother's hand, and her disappointment was obvious.
Before the third brother could react, she snatched the plate back and shoved the remaining two plates into his hands.
“You eat it all. My eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, and I will just eat half a plate.”
Ruan Mengdao said that the third brother was a little embarrassed.
"No way! Let's eat together!"
That's what I said, but Third Brother, why are you holding the plate so tightly?
Ruan Meng and her brothers and sisters-in-law suppressed their laughter.
Although candied bananas are sweet, my eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother aren't as greedy as my third brother.
Bananas are sweet to begin with, and adding sugar and oil can make them cloying if you eat too many.
The fact that Lao San and Xiao Kai like it so much is truly a sign of love!
Ruan Meng left a few bananas for her third brother; the rest were all sliced thinly and neatly spread out on a winnowing basket to dry...
Once the banana chips are dried, I wonder how many my third brother will be able to eat?
The third brother was buried in the candied banana and had no time to pay attention to it.
As the tide receded, the villagers came out and began a new round of beachcombing.
"Second Sister-in-law Fan, I heard you and your whole family were exiled here? They're so capable, are you also very good at making money?"
Ruan Meng had just approached with the bucket when she suddenly heard this.
The gossip has finally arrived? She was somewhat excited.
