Chapter 197 Want to Open a Shop
Ruan Linlin stepped forward and took Ye Mingzhu's hand: "Boss, you came from town and must be hungry now. Let's eat first. After dinner, I have a lot of things to tell you."
Ye Mingzhu was pulled into the house by her. Mo Xing brought two plates and put them on the table. Behind her, Mo Wan also carried two plates. At the back was Aunt Mo. She quickly put down the plates in her hands and was about to leave.
"Wait, Aunt Mo." Ruan Linlin stopped her and turned to Ye Mingzhu, "Boss, you don't know how good Aunt Mo's cooking skills are. We take the snacks she makes to the county town and sell them almost every day."
Aunt Mo waved her hand: "Miss Ruan, it's not as good as you say."
Ruan Linlin pointed at the dish on the table and said, "Boss, try this dish later. Aunt Mo's dish is better than ours."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the dishes on the table. They were just ordinary home-cooked dishes, but the vegetables were tender green and the meat was shiny. One could tell they tasted good without even tasting them.
"Boss, the snacks we make every morning are sold out in just one hour when we take them to the county town. There are even crowds of people waiting to buy Aunt Mo's snacks." Ruan Linlin wanted to tell all the good things about Aunt Mo.
"Really? Aunt Mo, if you make some snacks next time, you must give them to me to try." Ye Mingzhu looked at Aunt Mo with a smile.
Aunt Mo immediately nodded and said yes, and went downstairs to make some snacks.
Ruan Linlin wanted to keep Mo Xing and Mo Wan to have dinner together, but they looked at each other and left together.
Wu Yue also smiled and said, "Sister Ruan, my sister-in-law has already prepared the meal, so I'll go back."
"Xiaoyue, don't go back," Ye Mingzhu called out to her, "You prepared so many dishes today. I can't kick you all out just because I'm here."
Ruan Linlin held Wu Yue and said, "That's right, Xiaoyue has been busy recently, so you must eat more today."
Jiang Hongyu looked at the smiling faces of the three women and felt that he was redundant. He simply said, "Mingzhu, why don't you serve me some food and I'll go inside to eat. My arm hurts a little."
"Your arm hurts? Is it serious? I'll go make some medicine for you now." Ye Mingzhu came over to check immediately, her face full of tension.
Jiang Hongyu felt like he had shot himself in the foot: "It just hurt a little bit, but now it's fine. There's no rush to take the medicine. I'll go back to the house and rest first."
Seeing that Jiang Hongyu looked fine and didn't look like anything was wrong, Ye Mingzhu finally felt relieved: "Then I'll serve you some food and you can take it inside to eat."
Wu Yue had already swiftly served out a full plate of dishes, Ruan Linlin went to serve some rice, and when Ye Mingzhu turned around, the two of them had brought the food to her.
"The boss's room is cleaned every day and it's very clean." Wu Yue's meaning was very clear. There was no problem at all for Jiang Hongyu to go and rest.
"I can serve it myself, you stay and have dinner." Seeing that the food was about to lose its heat, Jiang Hongyu didn't want Ye Mingzhu to make another trip with him.
"It's just two steps away." Ye Mingzhu moved to the side, brought the food into the house, poured hot water for Jiang Hongyu, and then went out to eat.
In the dining room, Ruan Linlin and Wu Yue saw her come in, one took a stool and the other handed her chopsticks, their attitudes were very attentive.
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused and said, "What are you two doing? I can do it myself."
Ruan Linlin used clean chopsticks to pick up a piece of stewed meat for Ye Mingzhu, and Wu Yue picked up a piece of vegetable for Ye Mingzhu. The two of them stared at her with four eyes: "Try it quickly."
Ye Mingzhu ate both chopsticks of food without knowing why, but soon realized that the taste of this dish was indeed better than that cooked by ordinary people.
"Mingzhu, we want to open a shop specializing in selling snacks." Ruan Linlin waited for Ye Mingzhu to swallow the food in her mouth and whispered beside her.
"Open a shop?" Ye Mingzhu looked at the two expectant faces and blinked: "Then open it."
"Do you agree?" Ruan Linlin was stunned.
"Why don't you agree?" Ye Mingzhu was confused by the question. "Let me make it clear first. If you don't have enough money, I can pay, but I won't help you, hehe."
She swallowed back her words that she would blow up the kitchen.
"You don't have to do it. There are so many people in the whole village, and everyone has done a good job during this period." Ruan Linlin had never thought of asking Ye Mingzhu for help.
"Sister Linlin, let me do it." Wu Yue couldn't stand Ruan Linlin's slow speaking.
"Boss, if we open a shop in the county, we need to find a few women from the farm to help us. The most important thing is that we need Aunt Mo to come with us to make snacks."
Wu Yue finished speaking in one breath, with anxiety in his eyes.
"Did Aunt Mo agree?" Ye Mingzhu felt it was quite difficult, otherwise the two of them would not have come to find her.
"No." The two shook their heads.
"Auntie Mo said that she was a slave girl bought by you and she has to stay at the farm. She can make snacks to help make money for the farm, but she will not leave the farm." Wu Yue's voice was full of frustration.
"Help the farm make money?" Ye Mingzhu didn't understand what this meant.
"Yes, Aunt Mo makes snacks every day, and we take them to the county to sell. Fifty percent of the proceeds is used as our wages, and the other fifty percent counts as part of the farm, which means it belongs to you, the boss." Wu Yue said this as if it was a matter of course.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Ruan Linlin: "Who came up with this idea?"
"Wait a moment," Ruan Linlin stood up and went out. After a while, she came back with an account book: "This is the account book for our snacks."
Ye Mingzhu took it. The handwriting inside was beautiful and the accounts were clear. The most important thing was that there were actually twenty taels of silver in the account, but the time of this account book was definitely no more than twenty days.
She looked up at Ruan Linlin: "You still haven't told me who came up with this idea?"
Ruan Linlin said frankly, "I came up with the idea. I live on your farm, so I have to do something for you. I saw that Aunt Mo's cooking skills are good, and Mo Xing and Mo Wan can help. So I asked Aunt Mo to make some snacks and take them to the county town to sell. They actually sold quite well."
"Then Sister Ruan recruited some women from the farm. Some came to help make snacks, and some went to the county town to sell snacks. As long as they came to work, they could get some money every day. Everyone was very happy."
Wu Yue was a little nervous when he said this. After all, it was not quite right to let the people in the village go out to earn money.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that the two of them were so financially savvy.
"How are the sweet potatoes growing on the farm?" Ye Mingzhu suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"It's fine. My brother goes to see it every day. I went to see it yesterday and the leaves have grown out." Wu Yue answered reflexively.
"Well, did the women on the farm delay their work at home and in the fields?" Ye Mingzhu asked again.
"No," Ruan Linlin answered quickly, "Ever since we started selling snacks in the county town, no one has been making trouble in the village, and our family has become much more harmonious."
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows.
