Although the shop is small, it is the first shop I bought and currently, it is also my only source of income. The current business is still OK because no one else can make what I make. If the people I hire leak the formula I made, then I will really have no fun.

The person I find must be completely trustworthy and must not betray me or reveal the information about the sauces and secret recipes in the store. But it is really hard to find such a person.

There are too many people in this world who betray those around them for a little benefit. There are also too many people who are stabbed in the back because of trust.

Others with strong financial resources can still get up, but with a weak foundation like ours, if we are stabbed in the back, it may be difficult for us to get up.

I will have to make clothes in the future, find fabrics, design them, and finally sell all the clothes I have made, so that I can make a profit. I no longer have time to take care of the kitchen work and the front desk, and this small shop is my hard work. I can't give up just because I have to be a nurse. So there must be a lot of core things that I need to teach the people I recruit.

How to recruit people? To ensure that the recruited people are loyal enough, you really can't be careless at all.

I have no experience in this area, so I am a bit puzzled. How can I solve this difficult problem?

Liu Niang looked at me with a puzzled look, and asked me cautiously, "Sister Yiyi, is there anything you can tell me? I may not be able to help you, but it's still okay to listen."

Yes, why am I so stupid? Liu Niang used to be the mistress of a big house. Although she was a naive girl, she must know much more than me. Asking Liu Niang might give me better inspiration.

Me: "Sixth Lady, if we want to make clothes, you can't come to the store, and I definitely won't have time to manage the store, so we have to find someone here, but I'm afraid that the person I find will teach them, and then my formula will be leaked out, and our store will be ruined. What can I do to ensure that they don't leak the formula? I have no experience in this area, and I'm so depressed!"

I shook my head.

Liu Niang chuckled and said, "Sister Yiyi, this is easy to solve. If you don't want to hire, just buy it."

"Buy, what do you want to buy?"

"Buy people, Sister Yiyi, don't you know that you can buy people from pawnbrokers? Buy them and have them sign a contract. Then you can decide whether to beat, kill or sell them. That way, those people won't dare to betray you!"

"Then Liu Niang, why did you do that to those people? If they dared to do that to you, wouldn't you tell them to kick them out?"

"Sister Yiyi, something happened at home. I was in a state of panic and was taken advantage of. Someone stole all the indentures of those people. I ended up with no one to turn to. They also cut off my way back to my parents' home for help. I was forced to flee all the way here. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a mess."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll go to the dental shop and look around. If I find something suitable, I'll buy two." After hearing what Liu Niang said, I also thought it was feasible. If there was really no other way, I could just buy two.

At this time, someone walked into the store, and a child rushed to me and said, "Auntie, I'm here to see you. I also brought you some wild vegetables that I picked." I looked closely and saw that it was Niu Niu.

He rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Thank you, Niuniu. Are you hungry? I've ordered some vermicelli for you."

Brother Zhang stood aside, a little embarrassed: "Boss, you don't have to make vermicelli. We are going to go back after buying some things. We picked some fresh wild vegetables. I'll send some to you so you can try them."

I asked Liu Niang to bring two bowls of noodles: "Brother Zhang, Niuniu, please sit down first. I have something to ask you. What's the situation over there now? How much of the field has been turned over?"

Brother Zhang: "The fields are growing very fast. Only about one-third of the land is left. In a few days, the land can be turned over for the first time. By the way, I heard you say you want to hire some people?"

"Yes, Brother Zhang, I want to buy two people to help me look after the store. I'm a bit busy now, so I can't come."

Brother Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "There are several very hardworking girls in our families. I don't know whether you want to sign a permanent contract or a short-term contract."

Short-term contract or permanent contract?

"Sister Yiyi, if there is something that needs to be kept secret, it is best to find someone to sign a death contract. If they do well in the future and you want to set them free and give them grace, you can also return the indenture contract to them." Liu Niang brought out two bowls of noodles, and seeing that I didn't understand, she began to remind me.

Me: "Brother Zhang, what I need to sign here is a death contract. After a while, I may not have time to manage the store. I want to teach them some things, but they can't leak them out. Of course, if they come and sign the contract, I will pay them wages every month. I won't treat them unfairly."

I pushed the noodles in front of Niuniu and Brother Zhang, motioning them to eat. "If anyone wants to come, you can ask them to come tomorrow and I'll take a look. You can ask them first. There's no rush for this."

After Brother Zhang and Niu Niu finished their meal, he took Niu Niu to the street to buy things. When he left, he told me that he would go back and ask if anyone was willing to bring them over tomorrow.

I think it's okay, it won't matter if it's a day or two late. There's no rush.

The next morning, Brother Zhang came with four other people, two middle-aged men and two girls aged fourteen or fifteen. One was called Xinghua and the other was called Cao'er, and they said they were willing to sign a death contract.

The two middle-aged men were their fathers. I didn't say anything and took them directly to the government office to sign the indentures. I didn't ask why. I'm not a saint, but I can help within my ability. I don't want to follow the modern rules of equality and follow the rules of the times.

I gave him ten taels of silver, and I paid 20 taels and the government fee for handling the formalities. Then the two girls followed me.

I went to the street and bought two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for each of them. Although they signed the contract, they would not be treated unfairly.

When the two little girls washed and dressed in new clothes, their delicate features were revealed.

Call Chu Liang back to sleep with Xiao Bao, and Xing Hua and Cao Er will sleep in the store with Liu Niang. By the way, teach them the rules of the store so that they can get started as soon as possible.

This way I can find time to work on the fabric.
