Xia Daohua worked hard for a few days and then gave up.
The reputation of "Puji Rescue" has spread, and as the weather gradually becomes colder, more and more people come to seek refuge and ask for travel expenses.
According to the changes of seasons, Xia Daohua has updated a batch of products for "Daohuaxiang".
For example, the light-textured summer skin care products in the "Cool Summer" series are replaced with skin care products in the "Warm Winter" series that prevent frostbite and prevent red blood streaks.
For example, a special "hot meal and hot drink counter" was launched.
That is, hot boxed lunches, rice balls, and hot drinks such as brown sugar ginger tea, hot cocoa, and hot orange juice.
In cold weather, eating or drinking something hot can easily make people feel warm in their hearts.
Those local tyrants who were eyeing "Daohuaxiang" did not take any action, so Xia Daohua just let them be and did not pay much attention to them.
As for the old beggar who had been lying in the sun opposite "Daohuaxiang", Xia Daohua changed from giving him some snack crumbs every time she passed by to giving him a hot rice ball every time she passed by.
She won’t give me lunch boxes because they are more expensive than rice balls.
The store's boxed lunches consist of one main course and four side dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. They are delicious, fragrant, and nutritionally balanced, so they cost sixty cents each.
Xia Daohua feels that based on the amount of meat and vegetables in it, the price is already very affordable.
The lunch boxes come in natural-colored wooden boxes with lids. You can take the boxes away with a deposit. Once you wash them and return them, the deposit is refunded.
The price of lunch boxes is still a bit expensive for ordinary people, so sales are limited.
However, the stewards, servants, and maids of wealthy families who help run errands at home would buy some to try.
The hot rice balls in the store are much more popular than boxed lunches.
The hot rice balls in the store are wrapped in a layer of glutinous rice paper and then in a layer of oil paper.
The rice paper can be eaten or not, it is up to the customer to decide.
Xia Daohua's rice ball business was not originally intended to make money, but it could not be given away for free. Instead, different prices were set according to grade.
The most common white rice or white glutinous rice balls cost one cent each.
Rice balls with red dates or red beans cost two cents each.
The ones with egg yolks are two for five cents.
The ones with pork belly cost three cents each.
The one with pork belly and egg yolk costs four cents each.
…
The pricing is a bit complicated, but Xia Daohua feels that using this clear pricing to make a simple distinction is actually a pretty good system.
Although this price seems to be uneven, it is actually a charity considering the contents inside.
She never believed that charity had to be free.
Even the food, clothing, housing and transportation provided by "Puji Rescue" are not free.
Although she took in the homeless elderly, weak, women and children, they still had to rely on their own labor to earn their food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
Exchange labor for points, and use points to exchange for food, clothing, bedding, fuel, shelter, etc.
Unless someone is seriously injured or ill, or too young or too old to work, everyone must participate in the labor themselves, not stand aside, and certainly not sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Moreover, the so-called participation in labor does not mean working without putting in effort or just slacking off.
Every job has assessment standards.
Those who pass the test will get full points, and those who fail the test can only get half points. If the materials are seriously damaged or the progress is delayed, compensation will be required according to the price.
This idea was proposed by Xia Daohua, but after being improved by Nanny Lin, Wei Shiqi and others, it has now become the basic system of "Puji Rescue".
"Puji Rescue" also rescued several women and children who were abducted by human traffickers. Through County Magistrate Yang and the Wang family, they contacted their relatives and sent them back.
Puji Rescue also left a sincere message to the families of the two rescued women:
"If the family can't tolerate these two young ladies who have suffered misfortune, please don't force them. Just send them back."
Both families accepted the offer solemnly.
Not to mention others, the biological mothers of the two young ladies naturally would not want them to suffer any harm.
Nowadays, it would be best if the family could accept two children.
If the family really cannot accommodate them, they will naturally be willing to "die of illness", commit suicide, or be locked out of the family temple.
Seeing that "Pu Ji Rescue" was basically up and running and a new batch of goods were added to "Daohuaxiang", Xia Daohua once again became a leisurely and hands-off boss.
There were almost no houses in her small village originally, but now it is bustling with people every day.
After all, in addition to the more than 40 households that were taken in at the beginning, several waves of welcome people came one after another.
Now, even the houses in that small village that Xia Daohua built with red bricks bought with her own money some time ago in order to open a brick kiln are full of people.
Fortunately, Nanny Lin and Wei Shiqi were both very capable. Although they took in more and more people, these two people still managed with ease and did not seem to be in a hurry.
Xia Daohua left things to them, feeling very relieved.
Lihua accidentally learned about the "Puji Rescue" and wanted to contribute. Xia Daohua always liked Lihua's energetic appearance.
Seeing that she was interested in this matter, he delegated his supervisory power to Lihua and asked her to keep an eye on it for him.
Lihua happily got busy.
