Chapter 129: Recruiting People
"Auntie Ma, I've thought of a new business to make money. Are you interested?" Li Meng thought that making tofu and dried tofu both required manpower, so he wanted to get Auntie Ma to join in.
When Aunt Ma heard that she could make money, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked herself how she could do it. What should she do?
"Meng Meng, I trust you 100%. Just tell me what I want to do and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Li Meng smiled. She knew that Aunt Ma would definitely be interested, so she sat down and told her her idea. First, make tofu, then make dried tofu, and then all kinds of soy products can be developed.
The more Auntie Ma listened, the brighter her eyes became. This was a job that could make money. She would definitely work hard. Maybe her family would become the first millionaire in Huanglong Village in the future!
"Mengmeng, just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!" Aunt Ma said excitedly, as if it would be too late to say anything and she would miss out on making money!
"We need to harvest some soybeans first, about 50 kilograms, and then I'll try it. Also, is there a carpenter in the village? I want to make some tools," Li Meng instructed.
"Yes, yes, yes. Isn't there a tofu-making shop in the next village? The tools they use are made by Uncle Wu in our village. I'll take you to find him." Aunt Ma immediately wanted to take Li Meng to find someone.
Li Meng hurriedly called out to the excited Aunt Ma, saying that he wanted to go home to see what tools he needed to make, and then come back to find her after he had made the numbers.
After the two of them had discussed it, they started to act separately. Aunt Ma went to harvest soybeans, and Li Meng went home to prepare tools!
As soon as I got home, I saw two bundles of firewood at the door. They were sent by Liu Huan, who had been keeping them for many days.
Li Meng shook her head helplessly and went in carrying two bundles of firewood. Wu Ruirui had gone to the Youth League Home to learn knitting sweaters with Li Laidi, so she was the only one at home now.
After entering her room and closing the door, she slipped into the space and came to a bookstore on the 4th floor of the shopping mall. She found a book on gourmet cooking and asked Dandan to prepare gauze, brine and other things needed for making tofu for her, and then left the space.
After an afternoon of study and research, Li Meng also drew all the wooden tools he would use so that he would not forget them.
"Mengmeng, are you home?" Wu Ruirui's cheerful voice came in, followed by a burst of trotting footsteps that came directly to Li Meng's door.
Li Meng put the book on gourmet cooking under the pillow and opened the door.
"Have you finished knitting the sweater? What good thing happened that makes you so happy?" Li Meng said.
"No, it's still early. I'm here to call you to eat dumplings. My sister made dumplings and asked me to call you. If you're late, there won't be any left!" Wu Ruirui pulled Li Meng and was about to run out.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring some things over. Please wait for me." After saying that, Li Meng went into the kitchen, took some salted duck eggs and pickled mustard from the cupboard, and went over with Wu Ruirui.
While walking on the road, I suddenly remembered to ask Li Laidie if he wasn't eating with other educated youth? Why did she start making dumplings by herself and invite them to eat together? Wouldn’t the other educated youth have an opinion about this?
"It was made by my sister-in-law herself, not with the other educated youth. She used Liu Huan's kitchen. Isn't it amazing?" Wu Ruirui told the story with a smile.
"Oh, so that's how it is?" Li Meng nodded, thoughtfully.
The two of them quickened their pace and arrived at the Youth League Home. As soon as they entered, Li Laidi waved to them.
"Come in quickly, we're waiting for you two!"
Li Meng and Wu Ruirui came to the small kitchen that they had built when they lived in the Youth League Home, and saw Liu Huan sitting in front of the stove and making a fire.
Liu Huan also saw the two of them. He curled his lips towards Li Meng and nodded as a greeting.
"Let me tell you, these bacon and dried beans were sent to me by my mother. Ever since I earned some money from taking photos and sent it to my mother to supplement the family expenses, my mother has tasted the sweetness and is more willing to spend money on me than before," Li Laidi said to himself without even looking at them.
After Li Laidi put the dumplings into the bowl, Li Meng also took out the salted duck eggs and shredded pickled mustard tubers that they had brought, and each of them put one in their hands.
He also stuffed one into Liu Huan's pocket. Liu Huan didn't react for a moment, and finally just said thank you in a low voice.
"Where is that brat Zhou Hui? Why can't I see him?" Li Meng looked around and asked in confusion.
"He and Liu Shu went to Yao Yuan's house to help, didn't you know?" Wu Ruirui said.
"I don't know? You didn't tell me!" Li Meng was also a little confused. Did he say that he had been there?
"Just eat with peace of mind. He said he will eat at Yao Yuan's house in the evening and come back. Don't worry, just try the dumplings I made," Li Laidi urged.
Li Laidi's dumplings are made by kneading white flour and buckwheat flour together. The filling is made of soaked bacon, dried beans and eggs. Although there is not much bacon, it is delicious to eat occasionally.
"Sister Lai Di's cooking skills are really good and are getting better and better. She can also work as a chef in a state-owned restaurant in the future," Wu Ruirui praised.
The little girl Wu Ruirui is always happy to praise others, no matter whether the food is delicious or not, as long as it is not cooked by her.
This made Li Laidie so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Liu Huan, don't be polite. There's more food in the pot. Go and get it yourself after you finish eating," Li Laidi said to Liu Huan with a smile.
When she suddenly had the urge to make dumplings today, she originally wanted to go to Li Meng's house to make them. But when she thought about how she usually ate more of Li Meng's food, she wanted to make a meal for herself, so she thought about borrowing Liu Huan's kitchen. She originally thought that she would not lend it to her, but she agreed so readily.
So he asked her to eat with him. As payment for using the kitchen, Liu Huan did not mean to say that she could use the firewood in his kitchen as she pleased.
Now that we have gathered together, I think Liu Huan has really changed for the better. He is no longer the sarcastic and stingy person as before.
"Liu Huan, do you want to make money to supplement your life?" Li Meng thought about it and asked this question. She needed someone who could read and understand the recipe to help her manage the making of soy products.
Li Laidi is not well educated and doesn’t recognize many words, and she also has to take photos for people from time to time.
Wu Ruirui has to go to class at the start of the school year and doesn't have time. Zhou Hui is okay with physical strength, but he is not good at detailed work and is a bit careless. After looking around, Li Meng found Liu Huan to be a suitable candidate, so he asked.
When Liu Huan suddenly heard Li Meng ask this, he was stunned for a few seconds. Why would she think of asking her? And help her make money?
"How can I make money? I don't know anything, I can't cook, and I don't have much strength. What can I do?" Liu Huan was also very confused.
Not only Liu Huan was confused, the other two were also confused, and the three of them looked at Li Meng together.
"Come on, let me explain it to you, and you will understand." Li Meng waved at the three people and motioned them to come over and listen to her big plan to make money!
