The casual life of the flat space

Chapter 199: There will be steamed buns, and there will be Wanwen households

Uncle and his friends were resting in the space, and Bai Tieying slept outside as usual. Naturally, she was woken up early in the morning by the chirping birds on the other side of the pagoda. Not long after dinner, Aunt Li brought Aunt Chen to "report" to her about the chicken farming in the village.

Bai Tieying gave her two choices at the beginning. Either everyone could pool their money and she would pay for the shortfall, and they would pay her back when they had more money; or she could use the money to buy chicks, and when they grew up, she would deduct the cost and buy them back at the market price.

Finally, after discussing, most of the villagers chose the second option. Only a few families like the village head and Grandpa Wu, who had good connections, chose the first option, and they all bought it directly without using Bai Tieying to pay for it.

So when she left, she hired Aunt Li and Aunt Chen to make daily inspections. One was to check whether the precautions Bai Tieying had been followed, and the other was to guard against people with ulterior motives and stop losses in time.

Chicken eggs cost three for one cent, and she bought nine hundred; duck eggs cost ten cents each, and she bought one hundred and sixty; goose eggs cost thirty cents each, and she only bought forty. So not counting the cost of space energy, she only spent a little over three taels.

It was agreed at the beginning that if the loss rate was less than 20%, no money would be deducted. But there were indeed families in the village whose conditions were not so good, or who had bad intentions, so the two of them patrolled every day to prevent such things.

Bai Tieying was willing to give back and help the villagers within his ability, but he had no intention of being a sucker, so when Aunt Li said that there were only 150 chickens left in Chen Ergou's house, Bai Tieying sighed. He was not surprised at all.

Seeing Bai Tieying sigh, Auntie Chen quickly said, "Tieying, I'm sorry for you. It's all my fault. I knew who Chen Ergou was but I didn't guard against him. Instead, he fooled me for a long time. When I found out and counted them, there were only 154 left.

Your aunt Li and I went to find the village chief, and the village chief went to his house and scolded him. As a result, when we went to check yesterday, there were only 150 left.

You need to talk to the village chief about this matter again, don't go to him directly. You know, he is a scoundrel, you are just a child after all, don't let him say anything unpleasant when the time comes.

Oh, how can a person be like this? I really don't understand. They are born from the same parents, but he doesn't look like a member of the Chen family at all.

Tieying, I have discussed with your uncle Chen that the money he ate from the chickens will be deducted from my family's money. I was not on guard against him and let him fool me with the amount. "

"Well, don't worry, sister-in-law. How can I let you pay for it alone? Tieying, I am also responsible for this matter. When the money is deducted, we will each pay half. Don't get angry. I will take good care of you in the future." Aunt Li also said hurriedly.

"Aunt Chen, Aunt Li, let's put it another way. I bought so many chickens, ducks and geese for our village. I'm going to get angry sooner or later. You don't have to worry about me.

"Let's put it this way. Uncle Chen has wasted my kindness. I just told him that. But if we talk about responsibility, I do have a responsibility. I think we should just deduct 200 coins from everyone's wages this month!"

Seeing that the two looked miserable but had no complaints, Bai Tieying said, "Aunt Chen, Aunt Li, I asked you to help me look after this stall. Of course, I value your abilities, but I also value your friendship towards my family.

You know, I'm not kidding when I set up such a big business in our village. Whether it's my family or the food factory, there will be a lot of people to be hired in the future.

If everyone is like Uncle Chen, I don't care. If you have money, you can live a carefree life. At worst, you can just quit. But most people in our village still want to have more income, right? So can I grow eight hands? Don't I still need your help?

Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead. I'm thinking that after this management, you two have gained experience. When I have laid out all the things I want to do in our village, I will ask you two to be managers. You can choose something you are good at to help me manage a business, and the income will definitely not be less than that of farming.

But as the saying goes, 'Without rules, there will be no order.' Since you have agreed to do this job, you must help me do your best. For example, in the case of Uncle Chen this time, I will not put his mistakes on you, but the two hundred coins must be deducted. The deduction is for your negligence. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Hey, I understand, Tieying, you're right!" Aunt Chen nodded immediately, indicating that she had no other ideas.

"Hey, Tieying, how come you are so smart? Compared to you, all my life has been in vain! Don't worry, I understand! I will do whatever you say!"

"Hahaha, Aunt Li's words are quite rhyming! Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. I am very optimistic about you. Now that we have talked it out, we have nothing to hide. In the future, the three of us will work together to make money!"

"Well, that's right! I still have to go to that Wanwenhu!"

"There will be steamed buns, and there will be Wanwenhu too!"

…………

In the following days, Bai Tieying went back and forth between Xianhe Village and the county town alone. On the third day, his uncle returned to the county town, saying that he wanted to deliver some medicine to the elderly patient and sell the remaining medicine to the pharmacy.

At first, when she heard her uncle asking her to hire a carriage, she didn't think much about it, thinking that riding in a oxcart would be too uncomfortable. But her uncle brought out sack after sack of ready-made medicines.

Usually, she saw Uncle and Uncle Dafu making medicine, but she didn't expect there were so many! The carriage was packed full. As soon as the door was closed, Bai Tieying quickly sent them back to the space. It was too crowded!

There are also pressurized wells here, and many families in the north of the county are using them, but their well heads are placed on top of the wells that have already been dug. Although the principles are the same, the area they occupy is different!

Moreover, for the northerners, this indoor well is extremely convenient in winter. So after listening to Bai Tieying's "practical advice" on building a kang, Manager Quan did not dissuade her from digging a well indoors.

There were two water wells in the courtyard, one in the kitchen and one in the public toilet. When the water came out, the shopkeeper Quan was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to Bai Tieying. Bai Tieying was so scared that he ran three meters away at the fastest speed in his life.

If the kang was a product that allowed the shopkeeper to go to the market and ordinary people could afford a kang, then the emergence of the indoor water pressure well was definitely a craft that could be passed down for generations. This was a different meaning, so he was so excited.

When Quan calmed down, Bai Tieying took him to the food factory to decide on the locations of four water pressure wells. Quan said that the four wells were free, but Bai Tieying refused.
