At daybreak, a group of nearby villagers came and went. After a period of publicity, the market for fermented bean curd has opened up, and the villagers have more choices for the goods they carry out.
Although they had to carry heavy goods everywhere every day, the daily harvest was quite good. They could earn twenty cents a day. If a family had many brothers, three brothers could earn more than one or two taels of silver in a month.
Since they have such a lucrative job, these men are reluctant to rest. They want to make more money before these things are really promoted.
They also knew that once the merchants in these cities sold their goods back, they would still be able to make money, but probably not as much as they do now. Therefore, these men were reluctant to rest and would not go out before dawn every day, and would only get home under the starlight.
The sons worked hard to earn money, and naturally, as parents, they loved their children. They killed the chickens that they usually didn't want to kill, and ate the fine grains that they usually didn't want to eat. The children in the family were so happy that they jumped for joy.
After a night of rest, Ye San brought his brother-in-law to Li's house early in the morning.
After loading five large jars of soy sauce and five large jars of fermented bean curd into the car, Ye San said goodbye to the Li family.
Mr. Li: "If you hurry back, I won't keep you here. Be careful on the road!" After saying that, he moved two more jars of goods onto the car before the two men could react!
Seeing this, Ye San wanted to refuse.
"Stop pushing it back and forth. You've come all the way here, and you don't have any good food at home. Just take two jars of fermented bean curd back to try!" Grandpa Li made the decision.
This is also what Li Yan told her grandfather before going to the shop this morning.
Ye San couldn't refuse, so he had to thank his subordinates, say goodbye to the Li family, and rush back with the goods.
Now, Li Yan has completely handed over the matter of selling goods at home to Mr. Li. This is also considered as hiring Mr. Li, and she pays him the same salary every month as her cousins.
Speaking of wages, Li Yan had just paid wages to everyone in the family a few days ago. Due to the initial sales restrictions, the two shops had a net profit of about thirty taels of silver in the first month. Excluding the six taels of silver given to Qin Yue, she still had a net profit of twenty-four taels.
Because her eldest cousin and her second cousin were responsible for managing the store and keeping accounts respectively, Li Yan paid them a higher salary of one tael of silver per person per month.
Daya and Xiaocao receive 500 coins per month, which is the fixed salary temporarily set by Li Yan.
At the same time, Li Yan also told them that they would receive dividends every three months based on the net profit of the shop. If calculated based on the current net profit, each person would receive two to five taels of silver.
The happy people were full of energy.
As for the people who helped at home, Li Yan also paid them 500 coins as wages.
When Li Yan gave her grandmother the wages, Mrs. Wu refused.
"I'm just collecting the eggs, why should I give you money? There are so many people in your shop waiting for your payment. No, no," Mrs. Wu waved her hands repeatedly.
Mrs. Wu was also worried about her granddaughter's fermented bean curd workshop, which cost 18 taels of silver a month. The thought of having to spend so much money made the old lady feel heartbroken and she was not willing to accept the money from her granddaughter.
"Since you've caused me so much trouble, just keep it. If you don't, I'll have to find other people to help me. It won't be good to let you work in vain. Don't you think this makes sense?" Under Li Yan's persuasion, the old lady finally accepted the silver and money.
It is said that Li Yan came to the city early in the morning on her cousin's mule cart.
The shop was now running very well, and Li Yan didn't need to worry about anything. After placing the goods, Li Yan went to the market to look for her uncle.
I wonder if my uncle has managed to make the rabbit fur scarf and hat samples I gave him last time? Seeing that it was still early, Li Yan thought about going to the market to see what was going on.
When Li Yan walked into the shop, she saw her uncle and Uncle Monkey sorting rabbit skins.
Li Yan looked around and asked in confusion, "Why are there so many rabbit furs? Didn't my uncle make scarves and hats?"
Seeing that it was Li Yan coming over, Lin Feng put down the rabbit skin in his hand and said hurriedly, "Thanks to your idea, that batch of goods was bought by a passing caravan. The batch I have in my hand was just delivered by your Uncle Tiezhu and the others two days ago!"
It turned out that Lin Feng gave two samples to his wife and asked her if she could make this thing.
They were all used to sewing, so after a little thought and a try on a piece of cloth, they were almost done.
Sui Linfeng brought all the rabbit skins in the shop back home, and asked his sister-in-law to learn how to make them.
Lin Feng meant that when the two of them had learned enough, they would call on the idle women in the village to do it. As long as they were good at needlework, they could come to his house to learn how to make it.
They don't have to stay at the Lin family all day. If they have free time, they can come and learn. After they learn, they can take the rabbit skins back home and make them themselves. They will be paid a certain amount of silver for each completed product. In this way, if a woman has nothing to do, she can earn more than ten cents a day at home.
Now the men in Linjia Village have taken the initiative to take on more work, just to give their wives more free time to do more work and supplement the family income!
Looking at the pile of rabbit skins with various fur colors on the ground, Li Yan's mind turned and she couldn't help but come up with an idea: "Since rabbit skin products are selling well, why don't you start raising rabbits now? When the rabbit meat is sold, the fur will also be in good market. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
When Monkey heard what Li Yan said, he couldn't help but agree, "Yes, Brother Feng, I think the rabbit furs Tiezhu and the others collected this time are too mixed in color. The merchants will be picky when they see them. Why don't we do as Miss Li said and raise them ourselves!"
Lin Feng was very excited when he heard his niece say this. Not to mention that rabbits can give birth to many children in a litter, they can be sold very quickly and can be sold in less than three months. Now is a good time for breeding and reproduction. There is plenty of green grass on the mountain, so there is no need to worry about feeding them.
Lin Feng made up his mind: "Okay, I will go back and discuss it with your aunt and the others!" This matter still depends on the opinions of the sister-in-law and daughter-in-law. After all, the job of raising rabbits still has to be done by them!
"If uncle is worried that aunt and the others are too busy, he can ask the villagers to raise some at home, and then buy them at the market price!" Li Yan suggested.
At this time of year, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, the mountains are covered with green grass, and it is not a problem for anyone to raise three or five rabbits at home.
"There should be no problem raising rabbits, but I'm worried that the rabbit meat will be hard to sell if we kill so many rabbits at once." After all, rabbit meat is mostly lean meat, and if people want to sell meat, they would naturally prefer to buy some fat.
"Don't worry about this, uncle. I'll make it into food and sell it in my snack shop!"
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to worry about anymore.
