Chapter 82: Flourishing
Li Fang counted the number of buns sold today, and couldn't help but said happily: "Little sister, let me guess how many buns we sold today? Today is a bumper harvest, if only it could be like today.
If we do, we can make a lot of money!"
"There are a total of 110 steamed buns, and we made two large pots of porridge and soup, which were not enough to sell, so we cooked some more, and only about two bowls were left. Today's business is really good." Li
Before Yun could answer, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but speak out.
"Of course. To be honest, Foreman Wang's fortune was really hindered today. If it weren't for him, how could he have brought us such good business? By the way, I want to discuss something with you. Who are you looking at?
I can help find three or four reliable people to help wash the clothes, and the wages will be paid per piece." Li Yun thought that she not only sold steamed buns, but also collected clothes, washed clothes, and mended clothes.
Li Fang felt strange. Aren't these people locals? Why do they still need help with washing clothes? What does their wife do? "Xiaoyun, didn't you say that Foreman Wang is working for some kind person? Why do you still need help from others?
Help wash their clothes?"
"Foreman Wang said that most of these workers were masters hired from other places. Because local people could not build satisfactory houses, they had to hire people from other places. Foreman Wang himself was not a local, he also came from other places.
They were transferred here, so their clothes cannot be washed, which also provides us with an opportunity to make money." Li Yun feels that sometimes opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and not everyone can seize the opportunity.
"But Xiaoyun, can we be busy enough? How much money can we make from one piece of clothing?" Li Fang felt that she should just focus on the bun shop and forget about other things. There are so many ways to make money, so why not?
You have to try? People only have that amount of strength, so what’s the point of splitting yourself into half and being so tired?
Li Yun had no intention of making much money from washing clothes, and they didn't do the washing themselves. They were responsible for collecting the clothes and sending them to others to wash. Then the wages they would be paid would be two cents for washing one piece of clothes and ironing.
One article is flat and one article is mended.
Aunt Zhao originally wanted to join in, but Li Yun saw how hard she was working so she wouldn't let her do it. "Auntie, look at it, you have to help in the shop every day. It's already hard enough, and then you have to do the laundry.
Are you dying? What if you are tired? I say you should have a good rest. The business of our shop is good, and wages will gradually increase in the future. If you have any requests, just ask them. Wu and I
Sister is not an unreasonable person."
Li Fang also persuaded: "Auntie, my little sister and I treat you as a family member. It's not that we don't want you to make more money. We also know that your family's life is not good, but people only have so much energy, how can we do that?"
Doing everything?”
Aunt Zhao feels that Li Yun and Li Fang are just like her daughters to her. They don't have the boss's arrogance and they can't be more kind to her. Last time they cooked some food in the shop but didn't finish it.
, the sisters asked me to take it back. There was still a lot of meat in it. I felt so sorry that I didn't know how to repay others.
"I don't even know what to say. You two sisters have been so kind to me. I will work hard in the future and hope that our store's business will be more prosperous soon!" Aunt Zhao didn't know what to say, but this person was sincere and helpful.
Whatever you say, I never act glib like others.
"Aunt Zhao, I still have something to ask you for help. Go back and see if there is anyone you know who is more reliable and can honestly recommend them to come over and help wash clothes. Give them a penny for washing one piece of clothes. Look at this.
Is it okay? I will leave the sewing work to Fifth Sister and Aunt Zhao, and I will be responsible for ironing." Li Yun's division of labor is also quite reasonable. She is not good at needlework, so she cannot do the sewing work.
Speaking of clothes, Li Yun suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She thought that Doudou's clothes were all patched one after another, and her clothes were the same. The last time her family came, seeing how pitifully they and their son were dressed, she couldn't help but start from home.
She brought them a lot of old clothes. New clothes cost money. Old clothes are nothing, as long as they can be worn. But her needlework is really not that good, so some clothes are too big for Doudou.
, it needed to be altered before she could wear it, but she couldn't do it.
Li Fang looked at Li Yun and couldn't help but sigh: "Little sister, do you know the importance of needlework now? Before, your mother forced you to learn, but you cut corners and asked you to embroider a mandarin duck playing in the water, but you embroidered it successfully
Killed the mother duck."
Aunt Zhao couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that Li Yun was so smart and could be so bad at needlework.
Li Yun's face turned red with embarrassment, "This is not what I thought about. I want to learn well now. You don't know that last time my mother asked my eldest brother to give me a lot of old clothes. Mine are fine, and Doudou's
Basically, they were all big, and they all needed to be changed, but I couldn't get them right after working on them for a long time. I picked up a lot of them out of anger, and sewed them up a little with a needle, but they still didn't look good, and Doudou was so disgusted that he didn't want to wear them.
You think I'm not good at needlework. It just so happens that our buns are all sold out, so please help me, otherwise Doudou will have to wear two different clothes."
Li Fang looked at Li Yun's pitiful little appearance and couldn't help but said: "Have you brought the clothes? Show them to me and I will help change them."
"Xiaoyun, if you want to learn, I can teach you. To be honest, there are not many people in this mother-in-law's family who don't know how to do needlework. The clothes, trousers, and shoes on your feet are all inseparable from needlework. This
It’s okay if you’re not good at the job, you have to study hard this time.” Aunt Zhao said earnestly.
Li Yunxin wants to help with the laundry. There should be not only workers at the construction site, but also 80% of the scholars in the academy who need to do the laundry. If she can ask Aunt Zhao to help find three or four people tomorrow, Foreman Wang will bring the clothes over, and she will be in the shop by the way.
An advertisement for laundry was posted on the door, but people naturally came to ask after seeing it, so that was enough.
Zhao Sheng did not return to the capital in the town, but instead wrote here, "Sir, the emperor is urging you to go back again? Why do you keep staying here and not leaving? What's so good about here? Nothing can compare to the capital, here
None of our wives are as good-looking as those in Capital City?"
Zhao Sheng didn't know why he didn't want to leave here. It seemed that everything here felt familiar to him. Many things seemed to be the same as those in his memories. Recently, he always dreamed of a woman. He couldn't see her face clearly, but just listened.
