Cheng Li refused to take Feng Yanhong's money, so Feng Yanhong had no choice but to drag him to see the second grandfather.
The old man's face tightened, and he only said two words, 'Take it!', and Cheng Li obediently took the money.
Cheng Li's craftsmanship is still well-known in the surrounding area. He has a small team of his own that specializes in doing modification work for others. Normally, he doesn't have to do it himself.
Feng Yanhong's job was small, but he didn't dare to relax for a moment. From early in the morning to sunset, he wanted to stare at it without blinking.
In three days, when the yard was handed over to Feng Yanhong again, it was completely new.
The tiles are shiny, the kitchen is spacious and bright, and everything inside and outside the house is neatly kept, without any trace of staleness.
If it hadn't been for only three days, she would have thought it had been rebuilt.
But the five hundred yuan she gave was not enough, right? It looked like she had exchanged a lot of things!
"Enough, enough, how can money not be enough?"
Cheng Li refused to accept any more money, and the second grandfather did not help her this time, acquiescing to Cheng Li's approach.
"Grandpa, look at this..."
"If he says it's enough, then it's definitely enough. It's their business rule to negotiate the price. We can't break their rules."
"What the Second Master said is right. In our business, we are all about integrity. Negotiating the price comes first, and the work comes last. Since I have collected the money, whatever it is is mine."
"We have to earn face even if we don't make money. If you give me more money now, you will be destroying the reputation of my Cheng family."
Both of them said this, she would definitely not be able to give her the money.
"Are you afraid of owing a favor?" When returning home, the second grandfather was walking in front with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Feng Yanhong was still worried about what happened just now, he asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'll owe a favor in your name."
If it was just her favor, she would find an opportunity to repay it in the future, but she clearly knew that it was the Second Grandpa's face that he was looking for.
"Ha~ My name? What name do I have? He only cares about the Li family's affection, not mine. Without the Li family, I'm nothing!"
She understood that this was the human kindness and sophistication accumulated by the Li family for generations. Even if she did nothing, this grudge would find her.
"These feelings are accumulated by the Li family's ancestors. You are also a Li family, and you will also have a share in the Li family's grudges in the future."
"Humanity means you come and go. It's very rare for the Cheng family to still remember their old relationship after all these years."
"If you're afraid of owing a favor, just ask the Cheng family when you're recruiting workers. His apprentices also have relatives at home. Use those who are suitable."
"Okay, I'll go and ask in the afternoon." Favors are not just a matter of coming and going. No one can ever owe anyone anything.

Feng Yanhong completed the procedures, purchased the materials, and the ordered glass bottles were delivered.
I found two more temporary workers who were billed on a daily basis, both of whom were introduced by Cheng Li. One was Cheng Li's cousin and the other was his apprentice's wife.
After she met the two of them, she felt they were a perfect fit. They agreed on a time to start work, and her small workshop was opened.
When the two stoves are turned on at the same time, a total of six pots of hot sauce can be produced a day, and about 300 bottles can be bottled.
All the material on the first day was pulled away by my bangs that night.
The situation of the snack shop is very stable now. Although Zhou Cunfan is a little younger, he is really capable. He has been able to receive customers, deliver meals and pay the bills very well these days.
When Chen Yinfei was at home, she was a good cook. After a few days of cooking in the kitchen, her cooking skills were on par with Feng Yanhong's. And with Jiang Yuxin helping her, she basically didn't have to worry.
Moreover, Chen Yinfei also slightly changed the sauce of her fried noodles, making the sauce more fragrant and distinctive than before.
Feng Yanhong's current energy is mainly focused on the workshop, because before she had no recipe for the sauce, she just used whatever she remembered.
Now if she wants to mass-produce it, she will naturally have to make it refined and streamlined to ensure that the taste of each batch is consistent.
It took her three days to adjust all the proportions of the seasonings. From now on, she can add the ingredients according to the proportions. She can still cook the sauce even if she is not around.
My bangs basically come back every three days, with 312 cans each time.
Feng Yanhong was so focused on adjusting production these days that she completely forgot about sales. When she looked back, she found that one-third of the warehouse was already full.
Feng Yanhong's current productivity is completely sufficient, and her store can produce some every day, but it is far from enough.
In just a few days, there are already nearly 1,500 bottles in stock in the warehouse.
Now we have production capacity, but we lack sales power.
She is not good at this, but she is very clear now that she can no longer rely on bangs alone to make sales.
Feng Yanhong thought of those brands that used to have brand agents, but where would she go to find such agents now?
If we really want to find an agent, her small amount may not be enough for others to sell.
If she can't supply the goods, it's impossible for others to cooperate with her, right?
"Sister-in-law? What are you thinking about?"
Why is she still sitting on the steps in the middle of the night?
"Oh, it's nothing, you haven't slept yet?"
Feng Yanhong suddenly raised her head and realized that she was a little cold, so she quickly stood up.
"No, my elder brother bought me a few more books. I was fascinated by them just now, so I came out to wash up."
"Then you should quickly wash up and go to bed. I'll take a rest too."
Feng Yanhong planned to wait for two days. On Friday, Li Boshan would come back to discuss the matter with him.
If it didn't work out, she would set up a small stall in the market so that she wouldn't be unable to sell even one bottle.

"Sister-in-law, are you encountering something difficult?" After breakfast, Li Boqing came over before Feng Yanhong went out.
"No, I can encounter any difficulties." Feng Yanhong looked at Li Boqing in surprise. His eyes were still bright and deep, giving her a feeling that she had nothing to hide.
"Something must have happened to you." He could tell that my sister-in-law didn't lie at all.
"It's nothing, it's just business matters, don't worry about it."
"I have to go buy groceries first. I'll bring the food back at noon, so don't go to the store."
She put the workshop on hold yesterday, and she had to take a break and think about how to proceed next.
Production stopped, but her pace did not stop. She visited nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and canteens. There was some chili sauce, but most of it was in bulk.
There is no packaging cost for that kind of thing. Anyone who takes the bowl, plate, etc. can take it away by weighing it, and the price is very cheap.
She brought samples and promoted them to several companies, but they were all rejected.
She adds packaging, which makes the price more expensive, and most canteens are unwilling to sell this kind of thing.
Not to mention the supply and marketing cooperatives, one promotes two, and two promotes three. Everyone wants to get in trouble, and no one wants to meddle in it.
It seemed that it was quite difficult to squeeze into traditional sales channels, so she had to think of other channels.
