take a wife to support the family

Chapter 162 Joint Construction Workshop

In two days, Lily will find a suitable opportunity to go to the Liu Mansion to talk to Mrs. Sheng, revealing that she made sweet potato vermicelli.

Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "Stop playing tricks on me, show it out for everyone to see as soon as possible, and I will talk to the master."

"I really can't hide anything from my aunt. I made this thing. It's definitely not true to say that I'm not happy. It's just time-consuming and labor-intensive. I make it myself, and it's only enough for my own food. After much deliberation, if the government It would be great to open a workshop to make vermicelli." Lily said with a smile.

Opening a workshop is a big deal, Mrs. Sheng can't take the initiative, she thought for a while and said: "I can't take the initiative in this matter, you teach me how to make vermicelli dishes, and I will try it for the master later, if he likes it, you have a few Much hope."

Lily left the vermicelli to Mrs. Sheng, and told her how to make sauerkraut vermicelli soup and ants climbing trees, saying: "This thing has no taste in itself, it depends on the taste of the soup base and seasonings."

After Lily left, Mrs. Sheng was not in a hurry to get some food for Master Liu, she had to taste it at home before she knew how it was and whether it was good for Master Liu's table.

When Liu Sheng came home that day, he saw two dishes that he hadn't seen before, "Hey, what's new about this?"

Mrs. Sheng said: "Danian's new thing is called vermicelli. It is said to be made of sweet potatoes. You can try it and see if it can be made."

Uncle Sheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up two chopsticks and put the ants on the tree into his bowl. Needless to say, the minced meat is fragrant and rich, and the vermicelli is soft and glutinous, and it is soft and smooth with oil, and the taste is very delicious.

"Delicious!" Uncle Sheng asked Aunt Sheng to serve him a bowl of soup. The vermicelli in the soup had another taste, which tasted smooth and made the soup more refreshing.

"What kind of things does this Da Nian family want to do?" Liu Sheng thought, this young daughter-in-law of the Da Nian family is not too outstanding, but she comes up with new ideas from time to time, and when you look at it together, it turns out that this country is so capable. The place is first class.

Aunt Sheng didn't care too much about Lily's desire to cooperate to build fans, and then said: "Do you think this is feasible? If it doesn't work, it's okay, and the Da Nian family will not have a relationship with us because of failure in one thing. "

Liu Sheng patted his thigh: "Hey, you silly woman, why don't you agree to such a thing quickly? Looking back, the Da Nian family can't wait for us to reply, so go talk to their clan, and you Dao Song clan will join in." Open a workshop without paying for it?"

Aunt Sheng's eyes widened: "Is this so important?"

Uncle Sheng said: "Last year, those sweet potatoes were harvested, tens of thousands of catties! Even if the farmer eats them every day, he can't eat that much, and he can't sell much if he sells them. He barely loses money. If he can make this vermicelli Not to mention our town, even the county, and every household is vying to buy it."

The sweet potatoes harvested last year were piled up in the upper cellar of the village, and the householders were getting tired of eating them in different ways for a while. Master Liu asked Liu Sheng what to do with them. It's a famine year, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it now, just eat slowly."

Master Liu was a little disappointed, and said: "In the same year, we exchanged letters, and the truth is that there are sweet potatoes in Beijing that make vermicelli. They are soft and translucent, shaped like spring rain, and they are wonderful... But I don't know how to do it, so I can't do anything!"

Liu Shengwan didn't expect that this old man could really become a fan. It was a broad road, and his wife was a woman after all. He didn't know how important that thing was, so he almost missed it.

Liu Sheng couldn't sit still anymore: "I have to go to the Danian family to talk about it. I will tell the master tomorrow, and the master will be happy. If Liu Zhong is the first to take the lead in this matter, hum!"

He and the housekeeper Liu Zhong are Master Liu's right-hand men, one is in charge of Zhuangzi, the other is in charge of the big and small things at home and outside the house, they are harmonious, and their five fingers are still long and short.

Dare not to do things that are bad for you, but put your best effort into such good things, even Master Liu is happy to see it.

If such a great contribution can be made to the Song family, it will be fine. After all, the Da Nian family is the daughter-in-law of the Song family, but if it falls into Liu Zhong's hands, Liu Sheng will have to give in to Liu Zhong in the next few years.

Uncle Sheng couldn't sit still, so Aunt Sheng realized that the matter was not easy, and she persuaded her: "Why are you in a hurry? You are the one to go at this time, and people won't eat? According to me, you should finish your meal properly, and you can't." Think about how you want to tell people.”

"You're right." Uncle Sheng soaked a bowl of rice with vermicelli soup, and asked Aunt Sheng while eating, "Did you reveal anything else when the family told you about this?"

Aunt Sheng thought deeply about Lily's expression and tone at that time, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it: "Ah, at that time, I wanted to know that this matter was so good, wouldn't it be good to agree to it?"

Liu Sheng also thought so, but Aunt Sheng is a housewife after all, although she is well-informed, she always lacks a bit of foresight, so it's no wonder she is.

It's almost dark after dinner, now that Song Haonian is not at home, Song's family can only have Baihe as a woman to take care of her parents.

If it was later, Uncle Sheng wouldn't dare to come to the door, for fear of causing gossip. The good thing is that Carpenter Li is a person who can talk to Uncle Sheng. It makes sense for him to go to Song's house to visit Carpenter Li.

Here, Lily and the others had just had dinner, and when they heard Uncle Sheng talking outside, Lily smiled at Lamei: "Look, Mrs. Sheng doesn't know the goods, but Uncle Sheng does."

He quickly welcomed Uncle Sheng in to pour tea, and asked him to talk to Carpenter Li in the East Chamber.

Liu Sheng is a respectable person in the town, and it is often seen that Carpenter Li Bamboo can't get him to pay attention, but since Bai and Aunt Sheng are on good terms, Carpenter Li Bamboo can make a smile on his face.

Carpenter Li can now sit on the quilt roll for a while and talk to people. He is about the same age as Liu Sheng, and he said something like time is not forgiving. I cherish it personally, I don’t want to be able to let my elder brother come to see me because of my daughter’s glory, I feel really sorry.”

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "Your craftsmanship is very good. I see, the ingenuity of the Da Nian family came from you."

Carpenter Li Bamboo is not exquisite, but he can understand the meaning behind the strings, so he knew that Liu Sheng must have something to do when he came to find Lily, so he called Lily: "Please, uncle, go to the main room to talk. I have lived in this room for a long time and the smell is sour Xiao, don't smoke people."

Liu Sheng stood up and said some words to let Carpenter Li take good care of his wounds, then turned around and went to the main room, and said to Lily: "Your aunt just told me about the vermicelli, so I came to you right away. She is a woman who doesn't understand, I don't know that you are giving us a profit, and you also said that you want to take our credit, alas."

Lily smiled and said: "Uncle, what are you talking about? What are we talking about? If you are in the light or not, you are in the light, and I am in the house. Without me, the house is the top family in Qingliu Town as usual. I have a few ideas." It’s just adding firewood to the hot stove, but the family is kind to us, it’s sending charcoal fire to people who are about to freeze to death in the heavy snow, we all remember it.”

"If there is no support from the family, how can Da Nian and I live in such a house and afford the current business?" Lily said with a smile, "Let's talk about the vermicelli this time, as soon as I get it out, I will think of the house. , not only for my relationship with Mrs. Sheng, but also for the fact that other than your family, no one else can do this."

Liu Sheng was originally afraid that Lily would rely on his own skills to get the tune, so after hearing a few words, he thought to himself: This is a sensible person, not arrogant at all, but something like what the old master said, "wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, and poverty and humbleness cannot be moved".

Liu Sheng then asked: "You took the vermicelli to my old lady. I think she already has a charter. She doesn't know what to do, and she can't decide what to do. Tell me what you plan to do?"

Lily gave vermicelli to Mrs. Sheng, in order to attract Uncle Sheng or the housekeeper to discuss business. At this time, she took out the regulations she had drawn up earlier, and said unhurriedly: "I have a little idea, I want to build a workshop to specialize in pressing vermicelli."

She methodically counted on her fingers how many catties of vermicelli can be made from a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, how many people a workshop needs, how many vermicelli can be made in a day, how many days it takes from crushing to forming vermicelli, how much vermicelli can be sold to return the cost, and how much money can be sold to make money ...

The more she calculated, the brighter Uncle Sheng's eyes became: "My niece and daughter-in-law, have you ever studied arithmetic?"

Lily quickly said: "In the past, Qingsong eavesdropped on Mr. He's class outside the school, and taught me a little bit when he came back. It will only count as daily household expenses, and nothing more will be enough."

Uncle Sheng nodded and sighed: "The sisters in your family are all smart. Qingsong steals what he learns and then teaches you. He is not worse than some accountant apprentices. He has no chance to study. If he has the opportunity, he is probably no worse than a little scholar. Mile."

Lily didn't think that the little scholar could compare to Qingsong, but she still had to say: "Everything he can understand as a child is just because of his eyesight and heart."

Back to business again: "I don't know much about business, where to sell fans, how much tax and money, where to manage, who to send to rest assured... I don't understand all of these, if To be able to open the workshop, these things have to rely on the family. What do you think of my charter, uncle?"

Uncle Sheng said: "If you can think of these things, you don't know how to do business." It's just a woman from a family with limited background and no connections. The older young mistress should be able to do more.

"According to you, how to calculate the cost of building a workshop?" Liu Sheng also had to test Lily.

Lily said with a smile: "I don't speak foreign language from the folks in the village. I plan to invest in technology as a shareholder of this workshop. The way I make vermicelli, your house supplies raw materials, manpower, and distribution is also managed by your house. I only need one every year. [-]% bonus is fine, if there is another thing that can make vermicelli in the future, I will also make it and teach the people in the workshop."

Liu Sheng hesitated for a while, only to hear Bai He paused and said, "If your government thinks it's not worth it, you can also buy out this technology. In the future, I will not sell it to others except for my own food. Your government will leave me alone." If you build a workshop, all the dividends can belong to you. It’s just that I want to buy out the technology, and I don’t care about the profit or loss, but I need a lot of money.”
