The next day, Hua Qingcheng got up early and after breakfast, she called the whole family together for a family meeting.
Seeing all the husbands and Mulanjin sitting around the table in the main hall, ready for action, even the little white tiger nestled in Yu Xiaotian's arms, quietly waiting for her to speak, Hua Qingcheng inexplicably felt like she was the CEO of a company, planning and deploying the company's future development prospects with her employees.
"I was sorry for everyone before, and made our already poor family even worse off. But now I have turned over a new leaf. Don't worry, I promise that I won't do those stupid things again."
Hua Qingcheng paused, and seeing that everyone was listening attentively, she continued:
"Although the vegetables supplied by Fu Man Lou are enough to cover our family expenses now, we still need to buy oxen, a carriage, build a new house, raise children, and so on. Simply relying on frugality to 'cut costs' is not enough. Diversification, that is, increasing income in many aspects, to increase income is the fundamental solution to the problem.
I'm planning to open a shop in the county. Since the weather is so hot right now, I'll start by selling ice and cold drinks. I'll adjust my offerings based on the season and customer demand.
You are all an integral part of this family, and right now I need to assign tasks based on your strengths."
After the prelude, Hua Qingcheng glanced around and saw that everyone was staring at her intently, so she cleared her throat and continued:
"Grandpa, the fifty acres of land we just bought has been plowed beautifully. I've noticed you're quite good at overseeing the work. I'm planning to have Uncle Qingyou find a few more hardworking people. From now on, we'll hire the villagers to do the farm work, and you'll be in charge of oversight. How do you think?"
Hearing her granddaughter's praise, Mulan Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, turned up the corners of her mouth, raised her hand to touch her chin, but only touched a handful of stubble.
"Of course no problem! Leave it to me, don't worry, my dear granddaughter."
"Xiaotian, if we were to talk about the most talented cook in our family, it would have to be you. And you're also very organized when it comes to housework. You know how to feed the chickens and sheep, and take care of the old... cat, too. You're the treasure of this family, and I'm afraid you'll have to work hard on household chores from now on!"
The simple Yu Xiaotian blushed slightly and smiled when he heard his wife praising him like that.
"Don't worry, my wife. I will take good care of the housework so that you don't have to worry about anything."
Hua Qingcheng smiled at Yu Xiaotian with satisfaction and nodded. This child was indeed very easy to coax.
"As for Xiaobai, he will be responsible for guarding the house from now on."
Hua Qingcheng stroked the head of the little tiger cub in Yu Xiaotian's arms and smiled slightly. This little tiger had played an indispensable role in helping them find Han Yichen so quickly.
"But my wife, isn't Xiaobai too small? Can I let him catch mice?"
Seeing Yu Xiaotian caressing the little white tiger like a rooster protecting its chicks, Hua Qingcheng felt a little embarrassed. My little Tian, when you know how powerful the guy you are holding is, you probably won't think so anymore.
Then Hua Qingcheng turned her gaze to Situ Ye: "Erlang, you are good at mathematics, I'm afraid the store's accounts will depend on you in the future!"
Situ Ye nodded when he heard this. This was not difficult for him. After all, he had started to learn how to manage a dowry shop since he was ten years old. He had several shops in the capital that were doing well, and they had all been registered under his name.
"Okay. But I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't have as much time to cook delicious food for you, my wife."
Hua Qingcheng looked at Situ Ye, who had a look of regret on his face, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. What a...what a beautiful regret! Her second husband was actually very good, but he just hadn't used his energy in the right place before.
After arranging Situ Ye, Hua Qingcheng immediately looked at Han Yichen. However, thinking of her arrogant third husband, she hesitated again. After all, Han Yichen had excellent medical skills. If he was allowed to do business, would it be a waste of his talent?
"Sanlang, you're very talented in medicine. Have you ever considered working as a doctor in a clinic? And then, when our family has money, we can open our own clinic?"
“I haven’t considered it.”
"My dear wife, just tell me what you want me to do."
Han Yichen narrowed his narrow and charming phoenix eyes, glanced at Hua Qingcheng, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
With so many people coming to him with millions of dollars to treat their illnesses, why would he bother to show up in front of the doctor? If he wanted to make money, wouldn't that be easy? He only needed to treat a patient or casually sell some medicine, and there would be crowds vying for it.
Seeing Han Yichen say this, Hua Qingcheng touched her chin, scanned him from head to toe, and said, "Sanlang is very intelligent and handsome, so he is the most suitable person to be in charge of selling goods."
After all, such a handsome boy is the best advertising sign. With him selling food, customers will want to buy some to try even if they don't want to eat it themselves. It can be seen that the image of the salesperson is also a big plus for sales performance.
"You decide on the arrangements. I don't care."
Han Yichen looked at Hua Qingcheng lovingly, just using it to pass the time when he was bored.
"What about big brother?"
Seeing that Hua Qingcheng had arranged everyone but did not mention Mu Lige, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Your elder brother..."
Hua Qingcheng glanced at Yu Xiaotian, then looked at Mu Lige meaningfully, and said seriously:
"Your eldest brother is of course the spiritual leader of our family. I mean, he is our family's banner and benchmark. Thanks to him, our family has not broken up over the years, but has only grown stronger. From now on, all the money our family earns will be handed over to your eldest brother for management, and he will continue to serve as our family's finance minister."
Mu Lige's lips curled slightly, and he looked at his young wife with great pleasure as she talked and fooled everyone.
Everyone had no objection to this arrangement. After all, Mu Lige was the husband of the family, so it was only natural for him to be in charge of the household expenses.
"Okay, everything else will have to wait a few days before we start. Grandpa is the first one to take the lead. Thank you for your hard work these past two days. First, arrange for someone to make ridges for the 50 mu of land that Huang Feifeng and the others had plowed. Next, I plan to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes.
I also happened to learn about these two things from a traveling merchant. Whether used as a staple food or as a snack, they are quite good. You will know later."
After arranging everyone's future positions, Hua Qingcheng let them get busy. Then she returned to the space and used a rice transplanter to plant rice seedlings in the 30 mu of rice fields, planting the third batch of rice.
After planting the rice, Hua Qingcheng checked the peppers, vegetables and fruit seedlings in the space. Seeing that they were growing well, she was very happy.
The next step is to buy oxen, a carriage and prepare to open a shop. Especially opening a shop, when Hua Qingcheng thinks about making all kinds of delicious food and selling them and making a fortune, she is now eager to try and can't wait.
