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

The story of Manager Li had been a hot topic in the town for several days. When the news came that he had been sentenced to execution in the autumn with irrefutable evidence of murder, the discussion reached its peak.

In Huangmei Town, the worst things people had seen were fighting and theft. Manager Li's murder was an eye-opener for everyone.

Everyone was curious, scared, and terrified, and finally gathered in front of Yu Shi Lou and Li's house to see what was going on.

It didn't matter when they looked around. They found that Yu Shi Lou was empty and there was a donkey cart parked in front of Li's house.

"Li Qing, what are you doing?" a townsman asked Li Qing who was busy in front of the donkey cart.

When Li Qing saw the man, his body froze. After a while, he said, "My mother and the man surnamed Li have divorced. I want to follow my mother to another place."

Thanks to the county magistrate, who, after learning of their plight, sentenced his mother and Mr. Li to divorce, they are now leaving this sad place and starting a new life.

"What about Yushilou and your family?" someone asked.

Li Qing said: "My mother sold the Yushi Restaurant and this house, and she distributed the money to those who were cheated by the Li family."

The money earned by Mr. Li was dirty, and neither of them wanted it. They just took the few taels of silver they had saved up over the years. Both mother and son had skills, so they would be better off in the future.

With the departure of Li Qing and Fang, the town gradually returned to peace.

The time also turned to June.

Recently, the jelly business has become very popular in the town, and everyone has fallen in love with this smooth dessert. Aunt Wu and her six family members can each sell at least a large bowl of jelly every day.

"I make more money just by selling jelly every day than I did before by selling rice cakes and glutinous rice and date cakes at the same time." In the small courtyard, the village chief's wife smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, and she looked at Li Yu as if he were looking at gold.

Xiu Wen’s wife is such a treasure, she has so many novel ideas in her head.

Li Yu said: "Everyone likes to eat something cool in the summer, so it's not surprising that jelly sells fast. The weather is getting hotter and people are easily tired. I think we can make less rice cakes and date cakes and more jelly."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Xiu Wen, we all know what to do." Li Xiangyun nodded.

"By the way, Xiuwen's wife, there is something we want to discuss with you." The village chief's wife said, "We collect more and more copper coins every day, and it's a bit troublesome to do the accounting. You've been doing a lot of work, so we discussed it and decided that we should find someone who can do the accounting, and the wages will be deducted from the remaining three-tenths of the profit."

Even if she didn't mention it, Li Yu was planning to find someone to settle the score with.

With so many copper coins going in and out every day, you have to keep track of them to avoid any problems later.

At the moment, she has a candidate in mind, Han Xiaocao. This girl has learned arithmetic and is very talented in accounting. She used to sell braised meat in the food store. No matter how much others want, she can quickly calculate the price.

But she and Han's mother are a family, and according to the rules, she can no longer get involved in the dim sum business.

But if I don't want her, the matter of settling the score will be delayed.

Accounting is an important job, and the character of the accountant is particularly important no matter where you are. If someone else is to be the accountant, you must observe him for a while, and if he is not suitable, you have to change him.

Li Yu looked at the other six people, and after careful consideration, he still did not say Han Xiaocao's name.

Forget it, she'll find someone to try, and if that doesn't work, she'll mention Han Xiaocao.

If we bring it up now, what if other people are unwilling to do so, but end up agreeing to it just to save Han's mother's face? This will be a hidden danger in the future.

After talking about the accountant's business, Li Yu went home to rest. Before he even reached the door, he saw several people sneaking around outside the courtyard. They were men and women, young and old.

Li Yu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"

After their tracks were discovered, several people felt a little embarrassed and looked at each other. Finally, an older man walked up to Li Yu and spoke to him.

"Boss Li, we are from a few villages south of Huangzhu Town. We heard that your dim sum and braised meat are selling well, so we want to ask you, can you sell us a lot of your dim sum and braised meat? We want to sell them back to the village and earn some money to supplement our family income."

Li Yu immediately understood what he meant. He wanted to do wholesale.

Due to distance issues, her braised meat business is now only done in Huangmei Town. Her dim sum business does involve Huangzhu Town, but it is small, only in two or three villages north of Huangzhu Town.

Deep down, she was willing to sell it to them, but her production of braised meat was really limited. If she sold it to them, her food store would have nothing to sell tomorrow.

The same is true for snacks. In summer, there is less snacks in stock, and the amount we make every day is not enough to sell ourselves, let alone give to others.

It's jelly...

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I don't make much dim sum and braised meat every day, so I can't give them out for the time being."

A few people showed disappointment on their faces, but Li Yu changed the subject and said, "But we made jelly recently, maybe we can sell it to you."

The few people were immediately overjoyed. What they wanted to buy at first was jelly, but seeing that the jelly business was good, they guessed that Boss Li would not sell it, so they did not mention it.

Finally, she took the initiative to speak.

Several people were very excited and expressed their willingness to buy jelly.

"The jelly business is not mine alone. If you want it, wait for me here and I'll discuss it with others."

"Boss Li, you can go ahead. We will never leave." The old man spoke as a representative.

Li Yu nodded and returned along the same path.

Aunt Wu had just finished kneading a bowl of jelly and came out. When she saw Li Yu returning, she asked her what happened.

Li Yu called everyone to come to the main room to talk.

Her expression was serious, and the six people thought something big had happened, so they gathered in the main room as quickly as possible.

They were afraid there might be a problem, but they heard Li Yu say, "People from several villages in Huangzhu Town want to buy our jelly and sell it back. Are you willing to sell it?"

It's such a trivial matter?

The village head's wife let out a long sigh and said, "Xiu Wen's wife, you taught us how to make jelly. You can decide whether to sell it to others or not. You don't need to tell us."

"Yes, Xiu Wen's wife, you can decide these matters by yourself, don't worry about us." Liu Guilan said.

"That won't work." Li Yu said sternly, "Since we are doing business together, everyone has the right to know and make decisions about business matters. I don't have the power to decide everything by myself."

Although they were just ordinary words, Aunt Wu and the others were suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.

"You are right. We all know that only when there is a discussion and negotiation, can we truly do business together." The village chief's wife smiled and said, "I will discuss things with everyone in the future. Now, I agree with the idea of ​​selling jelly to people from other villages."

Zhou Qinghe: "I agree. Jelly is not expensive and easy to make. If we sell it to them, we can make more money."

Mother Han: "I am willing to do so too."

Liu Guilan smiled and said, "Me too, how much do they want? I'm looking for materials now."

Li Xiangyun stood up and walked out: "Then I'll go get a basin of water and prepare to rub the powder."

The courtyard became busy in an instant. Li Yu smiled at Aunt Wu and told everyone not to rush, as they still needed to discuss the appropriate price for a bowl of jelly.
