Hua Xinuo didn't know this, so they soaked the soybeans after returning home.
Qiu Wenqin prepared lunch while Hua Xinuo continued to make soap with her family.
"In the afternoon, once the soybeans are soaked, they can be ground."
Hua Hanbin was very curious about what tofu looked like.
So after soaking it in the afternoon, Hua Hanbin volunteered to start grinding it with a stone mill.
Hua Xinuo told him how to grind it, and Hua Hanbin knew it.
Hua Hanbin was responsible for grinding tofu, while Hua Xinuo and the others made soap.
"Make more soap, set aside some for delivery, and use the rest to sell soap at the stall."
“When a shop opens at the entrance of the village, we can sell these things there.”
Qiu Wenqin looked at Hua Xinuo and said, "Nuonuo, mother will take you to the village head first to buy that mud house, and then go to the government office to handle it."
"Okay, Mom, let's go do this first."
In this way, Qiu Wenqin took Hua Xinuo to the village head's house.
We talked about buying a mud house.
The village head was very surprised.
"That house is rather run-down and small, only about the size of three rooms, with a small yard, and it's in disrepair. Do you really want to buy it?"
When they asked about the mud house and the price, he thought they were just asking casually, but he didn't expect they really intended to buy it.
Qiu Wenqin explained with a smile, "To be honest with you, Brother Dong, we plan to buy the mud house, renovate it, and open a braised food shop there. That way, we won't have to go to the dock to set up a stall."
To be honest, Dong Lizheng also helped a lot when they came to Xinghua Village.
She quickly integrated into the village. The villagers would greet each other warmly when they met, which made Qiu Wenqin like this village very much.
Not to mention the relationship with Zhu Qiuhui.
This family is very nice.
Qiu Wenqin didn't hide it.
Moreover, buying and renovating the mud house would require the help of the village head and the villagers.
Of course they will also pay wages.
Now that I have money in my hands, I don’t have to be restricted in doing things.
Both Li Zheng Dong and his wife were stunned for a moment.
Apparently, I had no idea that they had bought the dilapidated mud house with such an intention.
Although they wanted to help sell the mud house, they couldn't help but say a few fair words.
"Sister Qiu, you have to know that our Xinghua Village has fewer people than other villages, and you also know the conditions in the village."
"If you open a braised food store in the village, even if it's cheaper than meat, the villagers probably won't buy it."
"Also, although we are close to the pier, we are separated by a river. People on the pier prefer to go there for their shopping."
"If you want to buy braised food here, you have to take a boat, which costs extra money and time. It's very inconvenient for everyone."
“No one has ever opened a store here.”
"You guys should think about this carefully!"
Dong Lizheng gave some earnest advice.
Li, the wife of the village head, also spoke up: "That's not the case."
"People in our village have also thought about starting a small business, but it's not that easy. So, among all the villages around us, only Zhujia Village has a market. If anyone wants to buy something, they have to wait until Zhujia Village opens its market..."
The headman's wife, Mrs. Li, analyzed many situations in a rambling manner.
Qiu Wenqin was also very touched, and she knew that the village head and his wife said this for their own good.
She naturally appreciated this.
"Brother Dong, we've thought it through and decided to open a braised food shop over there."
"I'll sell some miscellaneous items at a reasonable price, and it will also be convenient for the people in the nearby villages."
"We don't rely mainly on selling braised food to make a living."
"Besides, our village might be better off in the future, and we'll be able to afford to eat meat every meal then."
Dong Lizheng and Li dared not even think of such a thing.
Only the Qiu family has full confidence in Xinghua Village and likes their Xinghua Village.
However, although Xinghua Village may not be good in other aspects, the people there are very nice, sincere and enthusiastic.
"Since you've made up your mind, we won't try to persuade you any further. We'll just get it done for you. You just need to go back to the government office to register and stamp it..."
Next, Qiu Wenqin talked about making schoolbags.
"We'll just hire a few women in the village who are good at sewing. We'll provide the fabrics and thread, and they'll just have to do the sewing..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. We will teach you now and guarantee that you will be able to do it. If you can make one, we will pay you 20 cents."
"Everyone can make it at home. If you are diligent and skilled, you can make two or three a day without any problem. If you find time to do it, you can make a school bag in a day."
"But the quantity is limited, it depends on the number of orders..."
Fabric and needlework are the biggest expenses, and one hundred coins are enough, so a wage of twenty coins is more cost-effective.
They can each earn some money.
When Li heard this, she stood up in surprise. She was not only surprised, but also excited.
"A, a schoolbag for twenty cents?"
If you make three a day, that would cost sixty cents.
It means that you can make money at home without any cost, just by putting in some effort.
The busiest time for spring plowing has passed, and everyone is relatively free now.
On weekdays, at most I go to the fields to weed, water and take care of the crops. It’s not too hard and I have plenty of time.
It's not easy to find a job outside.
It is difficult for men to find work, let alone women.
Almost everyone is idle at home, raising chickens and ducks.
Not many people can embroider.
If she knows how to sew, I promise to teach her until she learns it, which is really helping the people in her village.
