Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Lu Sheng was so excited that he wiped his hands on his clothes repeatedly, "Second Aunt, this, I..."

Liu Siyu smiled and stuffed the money directly into Lu Sheng's hand.

"Take it. This is the labor compensation you deserve. We agreed on it before."

Lu Sheng thanked him repeatedly, and then took the money happily, "Don't worry, second aunt, I will do my best."

Liu Siyu smiled and gave him an encouraging look.

Then, he took out another 25 coins and handed them to Xiaocao, "Xiaocao, this is for you. Although you don't have any wages, I will give you % of the profit."

Xiao Cao waved her hands quickly, "Second sister-in-law, I didn't do anything, I shouldn't take so much, otherwise I can just take 10 Wen like Lu Sheng."

Liu Siyu gave Xiaocao a reproachful look.

"Don't underestimate these 25 cents. You are in charge of the accounts, so you naturally understand the difference between profit sharing and wages. Taking a share means that it is linked to the profit and loss of the business. If you make money, you get paid, and if you lose money, you pay."

Xiaocao smiled gratefully at Liu Siyu. She certainly understood the difference, but she didn't invest any capital and just got 10% for nothing, which made her feel bad.

However, seeing that Liu Siyu was sincere, she happily accepted it.

Finally, 75% came to Li Lao Da. When coins fell into Li Lao Da's hands, he couldn't help but sigh.

He never expected that the small business that he had not been optimistic about could actually make so much money. He was filled with emotion for a moment.

I immediately became interested in this small business.

"I'm going to soak 10 more pounds of beans now."

Liu Siyu hurriedly stopped him.

"Uncle Li, there's no need to add more beans for now. There are too many people today. Let's sell it again tomorrow and see how it goes."

Then he said to Xiao Cao, "But we can make more pig offal."

Xiaocao nodded immediately.

"Pig offal is the fastest-selling item. Many people were eagerly looking at it today, asking if there was any left."

Several people immediately got busy. Pig offal was the most troublesome to prepare. It was dirty and smelly to wash, and it had to be pickled and stewed. It was the most time-consuming of all the foods.

But this one is the most popular, and you can get a spoonful for two cents, so many people want to take some back for their families to try.

Liu Siyu frowned while washing, but Xiaocao and Yunduo were smiling happily, as if what they held in their hands were not pig intestines but white silver.

Lai Xi took the basin from Liu Siyu with a smile.

"Leave these intestines to me, and you go sort out the miscellaneous items."

Lu Sheng also chimed in, "Yes, second aunt, I just started learning to wash yesterday, so leave these for me to practice."

Liu Siyu was not polite at all. She needed someone to do everything and she would even have to make pancakes later.

Boss Li was chopping firewood with great effort. His family had to make tofu and tofu pudding, and most importantly, boil pig offal, so firewood was in short supply.

Even Little Yuncai was not idle, helping Boss Li carry the chopped firewood to the stove.

By the time we had prepared everything for the next day's stall, the sun had already set.

Liu Siyu frowned slightly. Even with her and Lai Xi's help today, they were already busy until so late. Tomorrow she would stay in the village to take care of the workshop.

Lai Xi also had to weed the wheat fields and take care of the orchard.

With two people missing, it would probably be dark by the time we finish all this.

Liu Siyu thought for a moment and said to Xiaocao, "Why don't you not go back today and squeeze in with the clouds and clouds. You won't be able to stand running back and forth like this."

Xiaocao also thought that this was a feasible idea. If she stayed here, she could be busier every day. She was worried about Yunduo relying solely on her for these things.

After all, clouds are too small to be of much help. No matter how capable a cloud is, it cannot cope with such busy work every day.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just have to ask the clouds to squeeze in a little bit."

"I'm so happy that my sister is staying."

Xiaocao is capable and good at accounting. Although she has only been with Yunduo for one day, she has already begun to like this sister.

Xiaocao stayed, and Lu Sheng naturally couldn't go back and forth alone, so he squeezed into the same bed with Liu Sihan.

The small business in the town had taken the first step, and Liu Siyu put all his attention on the workshop.

With the reminder from Manager Han, Liu Siyu did not dare to take too big a step. Taking out too much modern furniture at once would definitely arouse suspicion.

So I locked on a few ordinary cabinets, such as the tall and low cabinets I made earlier, and slightly changed a few styles and patterns.

There are also small items like wooden sofas, small recliners, and bedside tables from the 1960s and 1970s.

Carpenter Tan stared with his eyes wide open and immediately began to design and cut the materials.

In addition to Carpenter Tan and his son and Carpenter Hua, Liu Siyu also recruited another skilled worker.

The middle-level workers are Xiao Minghu and Yuanmu. Although the son of the carpenter has been added, the number is still far from enough.

Middle-level labor is the most numerous and the most tedious. Here, unlike modern times, we can use power tools to quickly produce finished products.

When everything depends on two hands, it will naturally be much slower.

Liu Siyu discussed with Carpenter Tan and added three more middle workers, all of whom were under the management of Xiao Minghu.

As for the laborers, it is naturally not enough to have only the newly recruited apprentices and Laicai.

Carpenter Tan did recommend a few, but Liu Siyu didn't want everyone in the workshop to be Tan's cronies, so she suggested that the three master chefs each recommend one, and she would recommend one more.

Add four more apprentices and it will be basically the same.

Carpenter Tan seemed to understand Liu Siyu's concerns and agreed readily. As soon as the news came out, four apprentices were in place within a day.

Liu Siyu recommended Aunt Zheng’s eldest grandson, who seemed to be a responsible and thoughtful child.

Zheng held Liu Siyu's hand and expressed her gratitude.

"Siyu, I really thank you from the bottom of my heart. Mingyu is an obedient child. I promise he will study hard when he goes there. If he does something wrong, just tell me and I will punish him."

Liu Siyu chuckled.

"Aunt has taken good care of our family in the past, so it is only natural for me to recommend Mingyu. As for how well he can learn, it depends on himself."

With more staff in the workshop, more people came to eat.

Wang was stingy with money, so she fired Zheng and Wu as soon as the workshop was built. Now she cooks for more than a dozen people by herself and is very busy.

Liu Siyu saw it and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mom, why don't you hire someone else? What's the point of staying alone? I have to go to town to make fermented bean curd and rice wine in a few days."

Wang pounded her aching waist.

"It's my mother who is greedy. I was thinking of discussing this with you. What do you think of Xiaohua from your Aunt Wu's family?"

"Xiaohua?" Liu Siyu was slightly stunned.

She seems to have just turned 12 this year. Even if we hire her, how much help can she provide?

"Can you please Xiaohua?"

"Why not? That kid is diligent and capable. He even spent half a day baking pancakes for me yesterday. His skills are no worse than mine."

Seeing that Wang seemed very satisfied with Xiaohua, Liu Siyu asked suspiciously, "You must have some ulterior motive in inviting Xiaohua, right?"
