Chapter 264 Lin Family Ninth Lady
The young boy was paid 800 yuan a month, but the cost was not much less. Eight people had to spend 8,800 yuan a month. This was unthinkable in the past, except for Sang Luo. The products made from those recipes were indeed made by wealthy people who were willing to pay for them.
After the matter was settled, the next step was to decide which people would go out. As for the Chen family, since they would open a workshop and hire people to make vermicelli, and they had mules to grind the tofu, they could make it at home, so the brothers Chen Dashan and Chen Ershan both went together.
Xu Wenqing and Zhou Sanlang have just said that they will go. With the addition of Xiao Jin, five of the eight places have been taken, three adults and two children. In other words, one adult and two half-grown boys are needed.
After several years of living together, the families in the village actually have a pretty good idea of the relationships between them. The Chen family and the Shen family have the best relationship, so it's no problem for both Chen Dashan and his brother to go. As for each of their families, when they heard Sang Luo say that they wanted to recruit eight people, they all had a tacit understanding. They didn't dare to ask for more. Each family could recommend one person. If there weren't enough people later, they would just wait and see what Sang Luo meant.
If this happened in other places, brothers and sisters-in-law might fight overtly or even beat each other to death, but it would never happen in Daxingzhuang.
At Zhou Cunzheng's home, the Zhou brothers knew that Sanlang was the one who liked to go out the most. They heard that Sanlang wanted to go before they knew how many people Sang Luo was going to recruit. The two older brothers and sisters-in-law did not fight for it, and if Sanlang wanted to go, they followed him.
At the Shi family's side, Shi Dalang felt that his son had already entered the East Market shop, and he had a disabled hand, so he preferred Shi Erlang to go.
At the Lu family's side, Lu Er and Lu San were polite to each other.
The Zhou family was decided. The Shi family and the Lu family had originally discussed separately, but they could hear each other. Now they discovered that there were too many adults and only one adult spot was left. It would not work if both families went to the adult's place.
Shi Erlang was very straightforward: "We will ask Erniu to go."
Shi Erniu is fifteen this year.
As a result, both children from the eldest branch of the Shi family worked for the Shen family. Shi Dalang and his wife felt that it was unfair to the second branch. Shi Erlang waved his hand and said, "There is a place for a half-grown boy. The child needs to study. Why should I, as an uncle, compete with my nephew for his future if Erniu goes? If Sanniu and Qiao'er were also suitable, wouldn't the eldest brother and his wife also take care of them?"
At the Lu family, Lu Sanlang said, "Second brother, you go. You have experienced a lot and are more capable than me in doing business outside. When our Daxingzhuang specialty store becomes bigger and we recruit people, I will follow you."
Look, this is why Sang Luo likes these people so much. She asked with a smile: "There are seven people now, and one more person is missing. Who else wants to go?"
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her lips moved slightly. She wanted to fight for Tiezhu, who was already 17 years old this year, but when she thought of the temper of the eldest brother, especially the disgusting things the couple had done in the past few years, how could she open her mouth? She could only shut up silently.
The only suitable young man among the remaining families was Zhou Cunzheng's family. Zhou Changgong, an outgoing man, looked around and saw that no one was talking, especially the Lu family, so he asked, "Master's wife, can I go?"
She was the first one to come forward to become a disciple. She is sixteen years old now, about the same age as Xu Wenqing and the others. She didn't pay any attention to Sang Luo's age and called her "Master's Wife" all the time.
Sang Luo laughed: "Okay, then Chang Gong."
When it comes to doing business, it’s better to be proactive.
The people were decided, and Lu Erlang asked: "So we're going to set off tomorrow? How do we do this specifically? Are there any particular requirements?"
"A team of four, divided into two groups, the four of you go together to ensure safety. In each county, you can split into two teams to solicit business. Depending on the size of the county, you can develop several dealers in each county. You can figure out the conditions for selecting dealers later. For the first trip, my suggestion is that you plan your own route, bring some samples, go all the way to solicit business, collect deposits, and then come back to pick up the goods and deliver them. As for more, I won't say more, you can discuss the details on your own."
Chen Dashan, Lu Erlang, Xu Wenqing and Zhou Sanlang, and even the four younger ones, all have different personalities and strengths, and none of them is stupid. Sang Luo does not interfere too much. She does not think that she is smarter than others just because she traveled through time. So for things like this, she just needs to make sure that these people have good character, trust them, and let them fight and make their own way.
She let them do whatever they wanted. Chen Dashan nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll discuss where to go."
At this point, he looked at Wei Lingzhen and said, "Let Manager Xu tell us later what we should pay attention to when we go out. This is the first time I've done business, and I'm afraid there are some tricks I don't understand."
Wei Lingzhen smiled and said, "Okay, then you can just go to my house later. He will be back before the city gates are closed."
As for taking some samples and going out to explore, these few people were not afraid, as they had all experienced a lot. Moreover, Sang Luo's reputation was very useful at this time. There was probably no place in Da Qi that had not heard of someone like her. It would be much easier to push things from Daxingzhuang out, and with the title of a village lady, there would be fewer people looking for trouble.
After everything was settled, Sang Luo turned the topic to another matter. It was to collect some soybeans and mung beans from each household and ask if anyone was willing to expand the scale of pig farming this year.
"If you are willing to raise more, I can collect all the pigs after they are slaughtered, and then open up more land in the mountains. My suggestion is that if you expand the scale of pig farming, you should plant more Chinese astragalus, so that we can produce more honey."
"Raise it, of course." Mrs. Lu and the others agreed without saying a word.
Last year, every family made a lot of money from these. Who wouldn't want to make money? To put it bluntly, having so much mountain land to grow astragalus, raise pigs and bees is a unique opportunity for a few families in Daxingzhuang. Who else has so much mountain land?
Mrs. Lu thought that she would have to talk to Shuanzhu and the others when she got back and ask them to raise more pigs this year.
The beekeeping technique was taught by Sang Luo, and she would not teach anyone unless Sang Luo asked. However, every family knows how to raise pigs. Last autumn and winter, when the Shen family was harvesting soybeans and pigs, Shuan Zhu went over to ask, and it turned out that Shen Ning was harvesting the same thing.
Thinking of the money they made last year, everyone was happy. Zhou Cunzheng said, "Then I will go to each village tomorrow to ask those who have piglets to reserve them first. Tell me how many you want later, and each family should build a pig house in advance."
At this time, we were thankful that each family had a lot of mountain land, and Sangluo's management of the fields and mountains was almost always carried out together with the villagers, without hiding anything, so when we went to the government to select the mountain land as a reward, we had a plan, and we selected all the mountain land deep inside, and paid special attention to the wind direction, and reserved it for raising pigs. Otherwise, it was too close to the village, and it was okay to raise a small amount, but if we raised too much, the village would really smell bad.
It became lively afterwards. After the serious business was discussed, it turned into a tea party. Before leaving, Mrs. Chen mentioned that her family was going to build a house in the summer, and of course she would ask everyone to help out when the time came. She also asked Sang Luo for the blueprints.
Lin Jiuniang, who was very curious about listening to several families in a farm discussing their livelihood for the first time, was a little surprised when she heard Chen Po asked for blueprints, and asked Wei Qinghe in a low voice what blueprints they meant.
Xu Wenyin on the side smiled and pulled Lin Jiuniang out for a walk.
This was the first time in Lin Jiuniang's life that she was taken to visit a toilet. However, after seeing what the Shen family's toilet looked like, she became completely curious.
She had never seen it before...
Xu Wenyin said, "I heard from Aning that the backyard of the governor's mansion was specially changed to something like this last year. Our family is also planning to change it this year. When the time comes, we will ask Sister Luo for the blueprint. I saw it when it was built before. It's not just the shape on the outside, but the pipes, fittings and other things inside. There are also several pools of different heights. There are so many things to it."
Lin Jiuniang was quite enlightened.
They sat at the Shen's house until the end of the You hour, and then each went their separate ways. A few who were going on business later gathered at the Xu's house. When they returned home at night, Zhou Cunzheng first started to beat his two sons.
"If you take this job, you should put more thought into it. The salary is not low. Don't let people waste all this money."
There is a reason for this. Sangluo's own products are profitable, but when they become big, they have to buy raw materials from them or even from the surrounding villages. These are real costs. In addition to these expenses, they have to pay commissions, and give up the profits of the distributors, right? And the expenses of the workers in the workshop, right?
Everyone has his own account in his heart.
The conversation between Zhou's father and son was the same in several other families, and every family took it seriously.
…
The next day was the day for the workshop to recruit workers. At that time, most people were illiterate, so recruiting workers depended on familiar faces. Mrs. Chen and her daughter-in-law took care of it.
Speaking of the Lin family, today is the day when Lin Jiuniang returns home for the third time. When the female members of the Lin family sit together, they ask her about her husband's family. Naturally, in the end, they always ask about the famous brand of Daxing Manor - the one on the mulberry head.
Lin Jiuniang happened to have been to the Shen family last night, and was full of praise.
"I didn't know much about other things in the past two days, but I felt that the families in Daxing Village were very united, and they were very focused on that lady Sang, and the atmosphere was very good. This lady is worthy of being named a county lady by the emperor. She is young, but she is really good at business." He told her that Daxing Village was going to open a vermicelli workshop, and said, "Yesterday, the village recruited eight people to expand the business. Qinghe's eldest nephew was among them. I think it will be even more lively today. I heard that the workshop will recruit more than 30 people."
"More than 30 people?" Old Mrs. Lin was a little surprised, but then she was very happy. She said yes repeatedly and told her granddaughter: "Daxing Village is developing very fast, Qinghe is also ambitious, your grandfather chose the right marriage for you, you should remember to live a good life with Qinghe in the future, don't think it's bad to have to farm at home, that lady Sang also farms, do you think she is doing well?"
He also told his granddaughter to get along well with Wei Qinghe's sister and brother-in-law's families, and all the families in the village.
Lin Jiuniang knew all about it and agreed to all of them.
After talking to the old lady, everyone went back. Halfway through the journey, Lin Jiuniang's Fifth Aunt, who had a completely different path from her, caught up with her and talked about her concerns for a long time. Lin Jiuniang responded with a few words and tried to follow the lead, but this Aunt changed the subject and actually asked Lin Jiuniang if she knew how to keep bees in Daxing Village.
The smile on Lin Jiuniang's lips faded.
"I'm afraid Fifth Aunt asked the wrong place for the Shen family's recipe."
Fu Yi bowed and went back.
Mrs. Lin Wu was so angry that she gritted her teeth in the back. When she saw the man walking away, she said, "Marry a slave, and let him be arrogant."
