Chapter 287

"It's alright, the chili powder can be handed over to the helpers for processing. The sauce will be handed over to us to mix it up."

Liu Shi was taken aback.

"Oh, I asked my sister-in-law to buy someone for me. With the contract in hand, I'm not afraid that the person who bought it will use their brains." Lin Xiaoyue explained.

Liu's eyes widened.

"You bought someone again?!"

Lin Xiaoyue looked a little embarrassed. Uh... the word "again" used by her mother...

"Uh... Mother, this time the buyer is different from before. This time the buyer is really a servant. I bought it to serve you and help with the family business."

Liu Shi's face moved slightly.

"Where do you need a servant?" he muttered.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and grabbed Liu's arm.

"Where can I use it? In the past, the conditions of our family were not enough. Now that your daughter has money, it is time for you to enjoy it."

"Come on, to do business at home, your daughter must have a credible and effective helper, right?"

Seeing Liu's no longer resisting, Lin Xiaoyue said again: "Mother, don't worry. The family I asked my sister-in-law to help find is a family with six or seven members."

"When the old woman will follow you, the old man will be the housekeeper for our family. There are boys of the right age who can be book boys for Qing'er and Xiaozhi, and the maid and the servant will stay at home to help."

Liu Shi nodded.

I think this arrangement is reasonable.

"There are so many people in the family. I'm still thinking of expanding a small courtyard next to our backyard to live in for the new servants."

There are still three vacant rooms at home. In fact, you can live in a crowd, but Lin Xiaoyue doesn't want to arrange this.

Now that she has money in her hand, and is planning to build a workshop, it is better to build it together.

Liu Shi glanced at Lin Xiaoyue, sighed, and did not stop.

It is useless for her to stop what the daughter decides.

Besides, when there are six or seven more people at home, it is really difficult to live.

I want to give all the vacant rooms at home to the servants. What should I do if there are guests at home?

The daughter-in-law and son-in-law are getting more and more promising, and there is a high possibility that their family will have guests in the future.

Lin Xiaoyue talked to Liu Shi for a while, and then went to cook.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoyue went to the village chief's house.

The village chief learned that Lin Xiaoyue was very excited not only to find people to build houses and workshops this time, but also to find people to help.

"If your workshop is built, if you need labor all the year round, people in our village can find work nearby."

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"There may be more work in the coming year. This year, I only have half a month to make spicy cabbage."

"Haha, it will get better and better!" The village chief laughed.

"I also heard about your family's collection of cabbage. Thanks to your collection of cabbage, everyone was spared from cutting off the excess cabbage in the field to feed the pigs."

"Hey, there are a lot of cabbage on the market now, and it's hard to sell it for a penny a pound if you send it to the town. It's rare that you pay everyone a high price."

Suddenly thinking of something, the village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue again.

"But... do you really need so much cabbage?"

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

"To tell you the truth, Ruyi Building has already contracted, and I will do all the spicy cabbage this year. Moreover, in my business, Ruyi Building has directly invested in it, and the demand will be even greater next year."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, and then she looked at the village chief.

"There's something I didn't want to mention to you so early. But since I've talked about it today, I'll just say it directly."

"You said." The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue, his eyes became serious.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and signaled to the village chief not to be nervous.

Then he said: "That's it, in the future I want to do this spicy cabbage business and rely on our family to grow it by ourselves. It will definitely not be possible. And there are hundreds of families in our village, and many of them have land. I just wanted to ask everyone if they would like to. Willing to help me grow cabbage."

"The cabbage is planted. It's big, and a cabbage can weigh two or three pounds. At that time, I will buy it from everyone for a penny a pound, and a tree will be two or three penny."

"In our world, cabbage can be grown in spring, summer and autumn. After all, it may not make less money than other crops."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately burst into brilliance.

Isn't it more profitable than growing other crops? Simply too strong!

Harvesting three seasons a year is more cost-effective than growing grain!

"Girl Yue, are you serious?!" The village chief looked at Lin Xiaoyue excitedly.

This is a great deed for the welfare of the whole village! If this can really be done, every family in Dashi Village will be able to profit!

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, "Naturally take it seriously."

"Three days later, the owner of Ruyi Building will come to my house to discuss cooperation with me. There is a high probability that people from Zhou's firm will also come."

"If you are free here, you can come to my house and listen."

"If we reach a deal, I can make a contract with you and book in advance, all the cabbage in our Dashi Village in the coming year."

"And after that, every year before the winter, we can discuss the plan for the coming year."

The village chief was excited.

"Okay! Then I will meet the owner with you in three days!"

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.

A Zhuangzi with hundreds of acres of land generally needs two or three thousand taels of silver.

And someone has to come out to buy it.

When Zhuangzi bought it, he had to be looked after, and he hired tenant farmers to cultivate the land, which was a lot of effort.

Cabbage is just the most common crop in this era. It is better to let the villagers help to plant it. Then you can buy it directly with money, which can save a lot of things.

Their Dashi Village is a big village. Every family together, the land is nearly a thousand mu, which is much larger than the average Zhuangzi.

At that time, even if only half of the villagers help her grow cabbage, she will not worry about cabbage in the coming year.

If she is worried, she will go to Shangyang Village again, and chat with the village chief of Shangyang Village about cooperation.

She is confident that Shangyang Village will definitely be happy to cooperate with her.

Of course, for this kind of win-win, her priority is still Dashi Village where her family is located.

Lin Xiaoyue discussed the situation with the village chief again, and it took almost half an hour before she was released by the village chief.

After leaving the village chief's house, Lin Xiaoyue went to Sun Carpenter's house again and talked about inviting him to work.

Then, after going out, he went to Li Mian Craftsman's house again.

Directly contracted Li Minjiang's work this year.

The main thing is to prepare for the peppers in Zhuangzi next year. At present, there is no shortage of tools for making spicy cabbage at home.

Because I don’t make cold cakes much at home now, after the wooden tub and bucket are emptied, it can be used to make spicy cabbage.

After ordering the goods he wanted with Li Minjiang, Lin Xiaoyue returned home.

Not long after arriving home, Mrs. Zhou came.

In addition to the driver, there were actually seven people in the carriage who followed Zhou.

It was the servant Zhou bought for the Liu family.

"I bought it according to your request, it happened to be a family." Zhou Shi said to Lin Xiaoyue.

"Let's introduce yourself." Then he looked at the few people standing.

The old man came forward and bowed to Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue.

"I have seen Mrs., miss. The little Zhao Fu, this is the Chen family, the eldest son Zhao Kang, the eldest daughter-in-law Ma, the grandson Zhao Dabao, the second son Zhao Qiang and the daughter Zhao Shanshan."

Liu Shi was a little surprised, and felt that although the man in front of him was a slave, his bearing was extraordinary.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

"What do you guys know?" asked Zhao Fu.

"Miss Hui, I used to manage the house for the master when I was young. Mrs. Chen was good at kitchen work. Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang used to be servants and coachmen with the master's family. Mrs. Ma and Zhao Shanshan were good at sewing."

A look of light flashed across Lin Xiaoyue's eyes.

"Which ones are literate?" asked again.

"Miss Hui, Xiao and Zhao Kang, Zhao Qiang and Zhao Shanshan are all literate. Grandson Zhao Dabao has just finished learning the Three Character Classic."

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

It was unexpected that the next generation of the Zhao family would be literate.

Glancing at Zhao Dabao, the youngest, Lin Xiaoyue saw that the child was standing beside Ma with his head bowed.

"It's not bad." She was about the same age as Qing'er, so she arranged for her to be a book boy, just in time to take care of her in the town.

"How old are you?" Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue asked Zhao Dabao.

Zhao Dabao respectfully stepped forward and saluted.

"Miss Hui, the villain is ten years old."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded and looked at Zhao Fu again.

"You don't look like you are selling yourself, why are you being resold by the master?" Lin Xiaoyue asked again.

The family of seven were neatly dressed and courteous.

Especially Zhao Fu, who seems to be quite tolerant, the origin is probably not so simple.

Zhao Fu was taken aback.

Then he gave Lin Xiaoyue a salute.
