Zhou Da's words moved Su Liuer a little. In Zhou Da's life, he was a failure as a husband, but as a father, she thought he was very successful.
And these words.
It also made Su Liuer think again of an idea that had flashed through her mind before.
She trusted Zhou Da's character, as could be seen from the fact that he stood up to correct Liu Laoliu for her.
She also felt that Zhou Da's abilities could be cultivated. There were many people in this town who had sold mung bean soup and red bean soup, but very few could persist and make money. People with ulterior motives like Liu Laoliu might have used some shady tricks to harm other vendors in order to survive.
What Zhou Da relied on was his hard work and intelligence. Maybe he didn't have much business talent, but he definitely had some.
From what Zhou Da just said, Su Liuer saw his sense of principles and responsibility, which are both very good qualities.
"Brother Zhou, I have a job. Are you interested in trying it?" Su Liuer extended an olive branch to Zhou Da.
Zhou Da was still immersed in the previous topic, and this sudden change made him unable to react.
Su Liuer was not in a hurry either. She just waited for his reply with a faint bossy smile on her face.
"Madam Su, you mean to invite me to work in your shop?" Zhou Da asked, unable to hide his surprise and excitement after he realized what was going on.
Su Liuer nodded and said bluntly, "Yes, that's what I mean. I wonder if you are willing to work under me and get paid since you are used to being a boss. If you have any requirements for the wages, you can ask for them. If not, you will get the same as them, 100 coins a month."
"One hundred! One hundred coins?" Zhou Da covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes widened. This Madam Su was too generous!
Zhou Da sells mung bean soup for one cent a bowl. When business is good, he can sell thirty or forty bowls a day, but when business is bad, he may only sell three or four bowls a day. If it rains, he can basically stop doing business.
Every household can make mung bean soup, but not many people are willing to spend money to buy it. If Zhou Da hadn't run around hard every day, someone like Liu Laoliu could only sell twenty bowls a day at best.
But if you sell mung bean soup yourself, you have to take into account the cost of buying mung beans. You can't make as much money as you sell. If you occasionally run into thugs collecting protection money, you may have wasted several days of work. It is also very hard for you, and you can't stop from morning to night.
So Su Liuer's salary of one hundred coins was a lot for Zhou Da, and he could receive it steadily every month. He didn't have to run around outside and just had to work in the shop. It was really much better than his current unstable income.
Seeing Zhou Da's reaction, Su Liu'er knew what he was thinking and immediately said, "If you think it's okay, come to my shop tomorrow morning to start working. If you don't come, I will regard it as a rejection of me. You can think about it carefully. I have to go back first because I have something else to do in the shop."
Zhou Da stared blankly as Su Liuer walked away. He reached out and pinched his waist.
"Hiss! This is really not a dream! Madam Su really wants me to work in her shop! The monthly salary is one hundred coins!" Zhou Da was so happy that he patted his legs, jumped around in place, and stomped his feet.
In fact, when he first came to this town to make money, he worked for others, but the wages were very low, only thirty or forty cents a month. He had no skills and had no way to get a higher wage, so he finally chose to sell mung bean soup.
Zhou Da immediately decided to go to work in Su Liuer's shop tomorrow. He decided to share this good news with Zhou Chong, so he picked up his burden and went to Qingxi Academy.
"Why are you here?!"
