The story of a farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 53 Start to set up a small workshop
After paying the bill, Ren Xiao held the five taels of silver given to them by shopkeeper Xu in his hand. After weighing it, he thought about what else he needed to buy. After the last big purchase, there were still about 70 taels of silver left. In addition to the five taels of silver in her hand, there will be 75 taels of silver, which is still a long way from running a larger workshop, but a small workshop with two or three people should be fine.

Regarding this issue, after discussing with Ning Jian, Ren Xiao and Ning Jian still felt that this matter should be discussed in a long-term way, and even if it was to start, it would have to start after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The two of them wandered around the town with five taels of silver. First, they bought pork and pig bones. Dim sum for Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and the like.

Seeing that half of the money in her hand was spent again, the corners of Ren Xiao's mouth twitched. Did she spend too much money?

The two of them didn't eat lunch, but bought a few meat buns and a few white flour steamed buns on the street. They took the bullock cart and went back, and gave Uncle Li a white flour steamed bun on the way.

Uncle Li sighed in his heart, this Ning Jian and his wife must have made a lot of money, they are so extravagant, it costs a lot of money to see what they buy.

Ren Xiao didn't think about anything else at this time, but perfected her own thoughts in her mind.

At home, after unloading the things, Ren Xiao couldn't help but said, "You said, why don't we set up a small workshop in our small kitchen? Now shopkeeper Xu and the others are asking for more and more tofu, and we have to make more. The new product comes out, relying on the two of us, it is estimated that we will not be able to handle it, why don't we find two reliable people to help us?"

Ning Jian bowed her head and pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "That's a good idea. If we want to find someone, we should find someone we trust. For example, Feng's sister-in-law is good."

"Aunt Feng's family is naturally one, but for the other, I don't know who to choose. I'm not very familiar with the people in this village. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Aunt Feng to find out." Ren Xiaoru said, she On the contrary, he seldom walked around with the three aunts and six wives in the village. The only ones who walked were Li Zheng's house, the village head's house, and Aunt Feng's house.

"Sure, then let's bring some snacks to her later and talk to her, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, we will start making these things!" Ning Jian nodded in agreement with her words,

When I arrived at Aunt Feng's house and talked about it, Aunt Feng agreed very readily, "This is great, the busy farming season is over now, and everyone has nothing to do at home, and everyone wants to go to the town to find work. The head of my family also wants to go, but there are few jobs to be done in the town now, and I can't find them at all. Now you can let me work with you and pay me back wages. Why don't you agree to this, and it's not far from my home. Where can I find such a good job."

Ren Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law. By the way, sister-in-law, who else do you know whose wife is reliable? Don't talk too much, but be serious. I only need two more people."

She also doesn't want to find too many people, as it is still a small workshop, two or three people are enough, plus her and Ning Jian, five people are enough to make all these things.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Feng said: "Yes, there are, but I don't know if they are willing or not. One is the widow of our village, Zhang Cui, who is now living with a daughter, and her life is miserable. The other is Yang Dazhuang's daughter-in-law has a lot of children at home, and Yang Dazhuang is not at home all year round, so it's not easy for her, neither of them talk much to others."

Ren Xiao pondered for a while after listening, "Okay, if that's the case, then do what my sister-in-law said. I don't know them well, so I can only trouble my sister-in-law to tell them. My wages are not high. One day That’s twenty Wen, not including food and lodging, and if the sales are good, the wages can be increased.”

"Sister, don't worry, how could they not agree to such a good thing, I look at you very well, don't worry, this is on me." Aunt Feng patted her chest and assured that she would not do it. It's fake, although they don't have many contacts with Yang Dazhuang's wife and Zhang Cui's family, but the two of them do have a good reputation.

Ren Xiao nodded, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, since we have already settled the matter, let me tell you first, we are running out of raw materials for making tofu, and I am afraid that we have to buy them. Please ask me. Who wants to sell beans? The beans I bought here cost two cents a catty. It depends on the situation. Of course, the beans should be plump and not dry of."

Aunt Feng was surprised, "Isn't two pennies a bit much? These beans are useless on weekdays. At most, they are used as pig food, and they are only one penny and two catties. You are directly paying two pennies per catty." , isn’t it a loss?”

"Sister-in-law just trust me. When you wash clothes with those people in the village tomorrow, please help spread the word. If your family has one, I can buy yours first. We can negotiate the price."

"This... let's do it. If someone really wants to sell it, I'll bring her to see you." Aunt Feng nodded helplessly, but she still couldn't help regretting that this was bought at a huge price. Money, that would be bad. "

After Ren Xiao went back, she started to figure it out by herself. For the restaurants in the town, she only cooperates with Juxianglou, which is still a little small. She has to expand the sales channels. customers, otherwise, after spending so much manpower and not earning a lot of money, then it must be paid to death.

Before noon the next day, the village started to be noisy again. Over there, Ning Jian and his wife were buying soybeans that no one wanted, and they still paid a lot of money to buy them.

All of a sudden, the people in the village began to pack up their own beans, preparing to sell them all. As for the premise Aunt Feng said, they did not forget.

Some people also tried to mix dry and plump beans and sell them for a penny a catty at most. After this, people in the village have learned to be good, and they pick beans at home when they have nothing to do. sold in the past.At present, the highest price is three Wen per catty.

After Yuan heard the news, she smashed another job at home, with a grim look on her face.

Mrs. Jiang was also very angry at the side, "father-in-law, mother-in-law, do you think the second brother and the second sister-in-law are out of their minds, they don't buy their own beans, but spend a lot of money to buy other people's beans, right? ?”

Old man Ning's face was livid, and after he slapped the table several times, "This damned bastard, it's a disgrace to a man to indulge his daughter-in-law in such a way. No, I have to find him. Today, I That woman must be divorced."
