"Have the beauty cream and lady cream been sold?"

Chi Xi knew how to market hunger, so he only asked Xi Dazhuang to bring five cans of beauty cream and five cans of noble lady cream to the county town.

"Mrs. Chen wants them all."

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "She said that she will want whatever we bring here in the future. She asked me to come back and discuss with you. If you are willing, I can sell her the beauty cream and noble lady cream in your hands in the future."

He chuckled: "However, I refused."

Sell ​​everything to her, what is the difference between this and a monopoly?

Chi Xi nodded and said with a smile: "You were right to reject her."

If she sells this beauty cream to others, it will cost at least 20 taels of silver a jar. If she sells it to Mrs. Chen, it will cost 15 taels of silver. This is already a special case. If she sells them all to Mrs. Chen in the future, wouldn't her income be reduced a lot?

Xi Dazhuang said in a low voice: "When my husband came back today, he was stopped by people from the next village who wanted to sell the land to us. Tomorrow I will go and have a look. If the field is good, I will buy it. What will I plant in the future and how will I deal with it?

,You decide!"

"The village next door?"

Chi Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "But Jinjiaba?"

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "There are Jinjiaba and Lijiachong."

After Chi Xi hesitated for a moment, he pursed his lips and said: "The land in those two villages is relatively fertile, but they are all paths used by people. They can pass cattle and horses at most, and they are far away from our village. If the carriage cannot enter, the harvest will be harvested in the future.

, someone still has to carry the things over.”

"Actually, my husband has always had an idea in his mind. Now that you have said so, I want to discuss it with you."

Xi Dazhuang said in a gentle voice: "The road from our place to the county town is full of potholes and it is difficult for the car to drive. When I take you to the county town, my husband is always worried that the carriage will knock you over. If we don't repair the surrounding roads, it will be difficult in the future."

Convenient to drive.”

To get rich, build roads first!

But nowadays, except for the county seat and one or two flat streets in the town, the rest are all dirt roads. As long as it rains, there will be puddles. Even if it doesn't rain, there will be potholes. People will walk with dirty shoes and cars will bump.

.

Chixi has actually wanted to build roads for a long time.

After all, in the future, as their business expands, the roads become smoother, and transportation becomes more convenient, more people will come and go.

It's just that they had no money a few days ago, but now they have some savings, but these savings can't support them to build such a long road.

Chi Xi calculated silently in his mind. It cost money to hire workers to build the road, it also cost money to build the road if it occupied other people's fields, and it also cost money to build the materials needed to build the road...

"Brother Da Zhuang, I very much support your idea of ​​building roads. But the money we have on hand is not enough now. How about we find ways to make more money..."

After Chi Xi squinted in thought for a moment, he suddenly laughed out loud: "I thought of another way to make money."

"What?"

Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows and pinched the tip of Chi Xi's nose curiously. The tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow, and he smiled fondly: "Why do you have so many ideas in your little head?"

"Actually, there are many ways to make money. It all depends on whether you have the courage to try and whether you have the ability to realize it."

Chi Xi took Xi's big hand and held it in his hand, and said: "Our current savings are not enough to build roads, but mining stones and firing green tiles can. Most of the houses in the village are made of bamboo and wood, and they are not afraid of fire.

They are afraid of water and are prone to rotting by moths and will collapse or have holes in them within a few years. Who in the village doesn’t want to live in a stone and blue-tiled house?”

Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"You have many brothers, all of whom are strong men. If we can approve the mining of a stone mountain, can we sell it to the villagers to build houses? Burn green tiles and build houses for them, so that they can also

Live a solid and stable life, and you don’t have to worry about the thatch on the roof being blown away if the wind gets a little stronger, and you don’t have to worry if it rains a lot and your house will turn into a puddle.”

Chi Xi said with a smile: "As long as people in our village build stone and blue-tiled houses, the neighboring villages and other people will also rush to follow suit. This is a long-term business!"

"Then where did they get the money?"

Xi Dazhuang had a vague guess in his heart, but he still wanted to hear his wife say: "Many of their families are still hungry! Even if they have money, they won't use it to build houses, right?"

"Build roads, farm, and do some other work for us, and the money will come, right?"

Chi Xi said with a smile: "In this way, their lives will become more comfortable. If we build the road, the business will expand and we will make money."

This is a virtuous cycle.

Xi Dazhuang laughed out loud when he heard this. He hugged his wife tightly, lowered his head to kiss her, and said with a lingering smile: "My wife, you are such a clever little kid. How can you be so smart with your little head?"

Chi Xi raised her hand and patted Xi Dazhuang's chest and said coquettishly: "Be gentle, you're hurting me. Our family now has some savings, and our business is getting better and better. We can't let others watch all the time, right? The only way is to achieve common prosperity."

, others won’t always stare at our home.”

"My wife is right."

Although he, Xi Dazhuang, is not afraid of the villagers, he is not afraid of thieves but is afraid that thieves will miss him.

Chi Xi and Xi Dazhuang are both very active people. The next day, word spread about the road construction. Everyone in the village who could carry a hoe came to their door and asked: "Xi Dazhuang, Chi Xi

, your family needs to build a road, do you need us?"

Although they knew that Xi Dazhuang had more than forty brothers on call at any time, and if it came to building roads, more than forty people would be enough, they still wanted to ask and find an opportunity.

Xi Dazhuang stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the huge crowd, and nodded: "It is necessary, but the salary we can give is only sixteen cents a day, and you have to work for five hours a day, and only include one lunch."

As soon as Xi Dazhuang said this, everyone hurriedly expressed their willingness.

Not to mention paying sixteen cents a day and including lunch, they were willing to do it even if they were only offered twelve cents a day.

Xi Dazhuang casually named a dozen strong men and said loudly: "So far, I only need these ten people. The others should go home early! If necessary, I will ask for you again in the future.

"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Chi Xi: "You can't handle so many meals, so pick a few women you like and keep them."

As soon as Xi Dazhuang said these words, the women in the crowd hurriedly waved to Chi Xi: "Xiaoxi, I cook delicious food, choose me, choose me!"

"I cook deliciously, and my hands and feet are quick and fast. Choose me, choose me!"

Chi Xi walked to Xi Dazhuang's side and said in a loud voice: "Let's talk about it first. Although we only cook one lunch, there are more than sixty people eating. I only need three people, and the salary I can give each person is only six cents."

.”

It only takes them two hours to cook a meal, and paying six cents is appropriate for them.

Everyone said that it was absolutely okay.

Chi Xi then selected three women from the crowd who were usually diligent and quick-footed, and then said with a smile: "Those who have not been left behind do not need to be discouraged. There are still many places in our family that will need you in the future. Please take advantage of the opportunity to return the favor."

Go back early and do your own thing!"

Although those who were not selected sighed, they were not too disappointed knowing that there would be opportunities in the future.
Chapter completed!
