Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 114 Afraid of Regrets
Looking at Chen Defu's slightly older back, Bai Taotao sighed: "Uncle, my whole life, alas... I've been a carefree person. I don't know if I did the right thing with Yousheng this time."

Aunt Jin, who was helping to pack things and get on the carriage, replied: "It's still because you are too soft-hearted. The eldest master is too soft-hearted, and we can't be soft-hearted. What can the second room do? Being soft-hearted will not bring good results."

Bai Taotao: "But no matter what, they are brothers after all."

Aunt Tan: "It's not worth talking about brothers over there. It's not that we are cruel, the main thing is that both the madam and the eldest master have suffered from the second wife. Otherwise, why don't we be so cruel to others?"

Bai Taotao: "I'm not afraid of suffering losses, but I'm afraid of regrets when I get old. Especially since the situation in the second room is like this now, if something happens in the future, I will regret why I didn't help when I could. Uncle. He has such a temper that he only thinks about others. He wants to give others two taels of help. "

Aunt Jin: "If it's like what Madam said, then the eldest master will definitely find a way to lend money to the other side, just say more or less. Madam, don't worry, it just so happens that we can also see the big man this time." What will the master do? Will he wake up after suffering a loss? Otherwise, there is no way for the second room to pester them in the future. If fifty taels can make the eldest master understand, the loss will not be in vain. "

Bai Taotao was persuaded by the two nuns and immediately smiled and said: "You are the best at comforting and persuading people. What you say makes sense. It would be worthwhile if these fifty-two uncles can completely wake up, otherwise After we brought them up, we actually made wedding clothes for them in disguise."

Now when I have some money, I can ask for fifty taels, but from now on I won't be able to ask for a hundred or two hundred taels. All this money was spent on the second room.

Aunt Jin: "Okay, everything is packed, let's go."

After getting on the carriage, Bai Taotao and Wanwan went to pay New Year's greetings to her parents' family.

Going back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings was also a hard job, and relatives of the same clan had to visit her. Fortunately, Aunt Jin came with her. Otherwise, Bai Taotao would have worn out her waist and hands while holding Wanwan in her arms all morning.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, there was no need to go out to pay New Year greetings. I just happened to be resting at home. I also taught Chen Lin how to cook a few special dishes. After she mastered the dishes first, I would see if I could teach her how to make snail noodles later.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, she entertained her family and Master Shen at home.

Because Bai Taotao is now the general's wife, it is natural that Mr. Shen comes to pay her New Year's greetings.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the workshop will start working on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

By the way, the job of recruiting workers also started.

Recruiting workers at this time is no different than today. As long as the wages are about the same, you can basically recruit people in less than a day. What’s more, there are many familiar people from Baitaotao’s family. As long as their character is good, they can start working directly. .

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the tofu shop started training in making tofu and making various soy products.

It is said that you can’t lose anything by making tofu. When it’s watery, you can pull out the bean skin, which is yuba. When it’s thin, it’s tofu brain. When it’s neither dry nor watery, it’s tofu. When it’s dry, it’s dried tofu. When it’s moldy, it’s moldy tofu. When it’s smelly, it’s stinky tofu. .

Of course, since Bai Taotao opened this tofu shop, he would naturally have to make arrangements for it. However, making tofu is a technical job, and training also takes some time.

Take your time. Once you train people, it’s time to start making money.

For the core technology of making tofu, she still arranges to buy it from the mall, which is safer.

Other tasks are assigned and become a processing workshop like an assembly line.

The work of making crispy radishes in the temporary workshop also started on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

After all three workshops started working, it was also very lively.

Chen Wang listened to Bai Taotao's suggestion, and after all three workshops were put into operation, she started making buns and selling them at home.

Because it was her first day selling steamed buns, she didn't know if they would sell well, and she didn't dare to make too many, so she made sixty thick-wheat steamed buns, which cost three pennies each.

Forty white-flour steamed buns cost two cents each.

Sixty steamed buns made with pure wild vegetables, two for three cents.

Forty steamed buns stuffed with wild shepherd's purse and meat, five cents for two. A total of two hundred were made. If they can be sold out, today's income will be 360 ​​Wen. After excluding the cost, Chen Yousheng did the math for Chen Wang, and the guaranteed profit is as much as 200 Wen.

In fact, Chen Wangshi was very worried about making these two hundred pieces because he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to sell them.

When it was almost noon, she put straw in a clean basket early, and spread a clean cloth on top of the straw. Then she packed up the steamed buns and pushed them to the door of the workshop on a cart to wait for the workers to finish work. Then he started selling.

The workshop always ends work at noon and has lunch.

As soon as Chen Wang heard the bell ringing after work, she started hawking.

"Baozi, steamed buns, hot buns just out of the pan, wild shepherd's purse and meat buns cost five cents for two, and vegetable buns cost three cents for two."

"Steamed buns, thick flour buns cost three cents each, and white flour buns cost two cents each."

When the workers who had just finished work heard that there was still a hot bun seller selling hot buns at the door, they immediately gathered around him.

"Hey, is there really a bun seller in front of this workshop? When we came here to recruit workers, the foreman really didn't lie to us. Madam, bring me two meat buns and two vegetarian buns."

"I want two thick-wheat buns and two plain steamed buns."

Male workers have a big appetite, so they buy more, usually four by four.

Female workers buy less because they have small appetites.

"I want two vegetarian buns."

"I want a white flour bun."

"I'll give you my eight cents."

"My six articles."

"My two papers."

……

"Don't tell me, these buns are really good and full of fillings."

"And he's big."

"Auntie, do you sell steamed buns here every day?"

Mrs. Chen Wang replied while busy: "Yes, you can tell me in advance what kind of filling you like, and I will make more tomorrow."

"Then I want the stuffed meat. What kind of meat are you using? It tastes very special."

Mrs. Chen Wang replied with a smile: "I added some bacon made by my niece-in-law in it."

"I see. No wonder it smells like smoke. It tastes very good. I'll order four meat buns stuffed with wild vegetables tomorrow."

"I want it too, I want it too."

Seeing several people asking for meat buns, they asked for four, and four were worth ten coppers. So the woman who was saving laughed and asked, "You guys eat big meat buns every day, and in the blink of an eye, you lose ten coppers. What's wrong with you?" Isn’t the work in vain?”

After hearing what the woman said, the men smiled and replied: "You don't understand here, do you? We work here, and we were given five cents as subsidy for the previous day. Even if I spend ten cents to eat steamed buns every day, I am It only costs five cents, right? I earn more than one or two silver coins a month, so it’s not too much to spend this few coins on something good.”
