Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu made five samples, namely ordinary shape, peach blossom shape, kite shape, small fish shape and small bird shape.

The regular and bird shapes are pure white, with some dried osmanthus flowers sprinkled on them. The peach blossom shape is white inside and pink outside, which is very cute. The kite shape is green, which has a spring flavor, and the fish shape is yellow.

There are ten of each sample, so cute.

Except for Aunt Wu and Li Xiangyun, everyone else was surprised to see rice cakes for the first time. Not to mention that rice cakes are made from rice, the shapes and colors alone are very ingenious.

A few people watched for a while, then each picked up a rice cake to taste.

They all thought that these rice cakes were just different in color and shape, but when they put them in their mouths they found that each rice cake tasted different.

The ordinary shape has the scent of osmanthus, the bird shape has the scent of pure rice, the kite shape has the scent of tea, the fish shape has the scent of pumpkin, and the peach blossom shape has the sweet scent.

"Xiu Wen's wife, how did you come up with the idea of ​​doing this? It tastes better than the ones made in the dim sum shop in our town." Han Shui's wife Zhou Qinghe was pinching a piece of peach blossom-shaped rice cake, looking very surprised.

Li Yu smiled and said, "I learned it from others, and then I thought about it myself."

"You are really good at thinking." The village chief's wife Yang Yuezhi gave a thumbs up, "You are the best at making things in the entire Qingshui Village."

Han He's wife Liu Guilan: "This is... talent... what's that word? Oh, talent. Unlike me, I can only cook a few dishes."

Han Xiaocao: "Sister Li's cooking is the most delicious."

......

After a few words were spoken by the people, Li Yu listened and estimated that it was about time, so he said, "I invited the aunts and sisters-in-law to come here today. First, I want everyone to help taste the taste of these rice cakes, and second, I want to ask everyone. If I sell rice cakes, do you think they can be sold?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The village chief's wife stared at Li Yu, "Your food is delicious, how could it not sell?"

Zhou Qinghe: "That's right. No one in town has ever sold rice cakes before. Even if someone has sold them before, you won't have any problem."

Li Xiangyun: "Xiu Wen wife, your cooking skills are the best. If you can't sell them, don't open the snack shop in town."

"Xiangyun is right." Aunt Wu said, "This rice cake is soft, I think the children will like it."

Later on, Liu Guilan, Han's mother and Han Xiaocao also joined in. In general, everyone had high expectations for the rice cake.

Li Yu did not interrupt them. After they finished speaking, he said, "I want to find someone to start a rice cake business with me. I wonder if my aunts and sisters-in-law are willing?"

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Li Yu looked at everyone and waited quietly for their response.

After a long while, the village chief's wife spoke up, "Xiu Wen's wife, you just said that you want us to sell rice cakes with you? Is that what you mean?"

Li Yu nodded.

Liu Guilan: "Do you want to hire us to make rice cakes for you? I can do that. I don't have much to do at home, so I have plenty of time."

Han's mother: "Me too, Xiu Wen wife. I feel at ease working with you." Her family's Han Sheng and Xiao Cao both work for Li Yu. In addition to wages, they also receive rewards every month. Her family's life is getting better and better.

Zhou Qinghe: "I am willing too." She used to think that women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. After watching Li Yu doing business in recent months, she suddenly felt that it was best for women to make money. Apart from other things, she would have the confidence to speak at home. Look at Li Yu, her words carried weight in front of Han Zheng, a scholar.

The others nodded, also expressing their willingness.

Li Yu looked at everyone's serious expressions and sighed. "Aunts and sisters-in-law must have misunderstood. When I said 'sell rice cakes together', I didn't mean to hire you. Instead, I meant that we sell rice cakes together. In other words, the business belongs to all of us, and each of us is the boss."

It was the first time that the few people heard such words and they were so shocked that they couldn’t recover for a while.

Finally, Aunt Wu, who had seen the most, spoke up, "Xiu Wen, are you serious?"

Li Yu: "Yes. What do you think?"

Several people looked at each other, still unable to believe it. The rice cakes were so delicious, they would definitely make a lot of money if they were sold, so how could Xiu Wen's wife share them with everyone?

Finally, the village chief's wife stood up and asked everyone's thoughts, "Xiu Wen's wife, are you confused? If you let us be the boss, you will earn less money."

Although she was a country woman, she knew clearly which earned more money, being a boss or being an employee.

"I'm not confused." Li Yu glanced at the few people and said, "I can indeed hire everyone to help me make rice cakes like I did with the braised meat, so that I can earn more money. But after I married into our Qingshui Village, my aunts and sisters-in-law helped me a lot, so I want everyone to live a better life.

But I am not completely selfless. If I cooperate with you, I will only provide the method of making rice cakes, and will not participate in the production of rice cakes. Even the sale of rice cakes may trouble the aunts and sisters-in-law. In other words, I only get income by providing ideas, while the aunts and sisters-in-law get income only after doing the work. "

Is that really the case?!

"Then I do." Han's mother responded first.

Then others responded: "Of course we are willing."

How could they not be willing? This is a business! They didn't even dare to think about it before.

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, please think carefully. After all, I am getting paid without doing any work. Think about whether you can accept this in the long run." Li Yu emphasized. She did not want the partner she found to have conflicts with her later.

The village chief's wife waved her hands and said, "Without any ideas, there would be no rice cakes. You deserve the money."

"That's right, you deserve it."

......

Seeing that everyone was willing, Li Yu then went on to talk about other matters involved in the business partnership.

The most important thing is the profit sharing issue. Excluding Han Xiaocao, there are seven people in total. Each person will get 10% of the profit. As for the remaining 30%, it will not be divided for the time being and will be used for other purposes. If there is a surplus at the end of the year, it will be divided equally among everyone.

Next is the amount of work done. To prevent people from being lazy and trying to be special, everyone has to do all the work of making rice cakes, and they take turns. If they fail to complete the work, silver will be deducted according to the proportion, and the deducted money will be distributed to others.

In addition, everyone must sign a confidentiality agreement. Rice cake is only the first dessert. There will be others in the future. Everyone must keep the various recipes involved confidential. If someone leaks it, they will be compensated three times the profit. If someone wants to quit, they must promise not to leak the recipe, otherwise they will also be compensated.

In addition, everyone contributes money to buy the ingredients for making rice cakes, and no one is allowed to take more.

Li Yu finished talking about the issues involved one by one, and finally said: "Doing business is a big deal after all. My aunts and sisters-in-law are willing, but your family members may not be willing. So please discuss it with your family members after you go back today. If they agree, we will go to the village chief together the day after tomorrow morning and ask him to write a deed for us and bear witness to it."
