Old man Li listened to the instructions and looked at his embarrassed brother. He did not embarrass him. He said cheerfully, "Do you also want to make money with this thing?"
Li Youren's face flushed. Thinking of the recent situation at home, he asked with a stiff upper lip, "Brother, our family is in a real tough situation. We really have no other options. If you are in trouble..."
Before Li Youren could finish his words, Old Man Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "I was just about to go talk to the clan leader about this. Everyone, please go to the clan leader's house. I have a lucrative business. If you are interested, please go to the clan leader's house and meet him immediately!"
When everyone heard what Master Li said, they immediately went wild with excitement. Everyone was talking excitedly. The outsider, Madam Liu, couldn't help but ask, "Can I join in, too?"
Mr. Li: "Men, women, young and old, as long as they can work, they can do it. The more you work, the more you earn!"
Upon hearing what Mr. Li said, everyone stopped discussing and immediately went home to tell their wives, children and the elderly at home about this matter. In a large family, children are also a rare source of labor!
In a short while, all the people gathered at the village entrance trotted away, and Mr. Li calmly drove the carriage and headed home.
After returning home, Mr. Li handed the carriage to his son and said to his granddaughter beside him, "You are the one who facilitated this business. Come on, let's go to the clan leader's house!"
Wu scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? You've been busy all morning and haven't had a sip of water yet. It won't be too late to go after dinner!"
Old Master Li ignored his wife's nagging and took Li Yan to the clan leader's house.
When the two arrived at the door of the clan leader's house, the courtyard of Clan Leader Li's house was already surrounded by people. When they saw the two, they unconsciously made way for them!
Many villagers suddenly came to his house, and Chief Li was confused. After listening to the villagers' general description, he was full of expectations. As the head of the clan, he also hoped that the villagers would live a more affluent life!
The two men walked through the crowd and into the courtyard. Clan leader Li hurried forward and said, "Brother, I heard they said you have a way to make money that you want to share with everyone?"
Old man Li coughed and said, "This is what happened. The restaurant where my son Min'er is staying is run by the same owner who bought our grain last time. He wants to buy some mountain reds, and he promised to charge us two cents per pound. If you guys want to make some money, you can go home and get your stuff now, or go up the mountain and pick some!"
One villager asked uncertainly, "Do you want as many as you can pick?"
Mr. Li nodded and said, "That's the situation at the moment. Let's go pick them now while they're still harvesting!"
After hearing what Mr. Li said, everyone stopped hesitating and immediately went home to call their family members, picked up the tools they needed, and hurried into the mountains.
Not to mention two cents per catty, even if it was ten cents a day, everyone would be scrambling to do it. There is less work in winter and no way to make money. It is not difficult to pick hundreds of catties a day, which means two hundred cents a day, which is a considerable income!
After everyone dispersed, Clan Leader Li couldn't help but pat Old Man Li on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Thank you on behalf of everyone!"
Li Yan didn't expect that Mr. Li would report the price that Shopkeeper Qian gave to his family to the villagers. It seems that Mr. Li still cares about the villagers.
At this time, the patriarch's wife was about to go out with a few children carrying a basket: "Uncle, you guys sit for a while, I'm going to take a look in the mountains!" After that, she left with the children without looking back!
Are you kidding? Who would complain about having too much money? No one would easily give up a profitable business right at their doorstep!
Patriarch Li called out a few times behind him, but his wife didn't turn around. He said helplessly, "This old woman!"
Mr. Li smiled and said, "It's not a very tiring job, so let my sister-in-law do it! I also need to go back and prepare!"
