Liu Xiaolu took the bag and put it into her own bag. She had an imitation shoulder bag made according to modern style, which she wore diagonally across her body and could hold a lot of things. The sealing part was designed with a shrink band, so the things in the bag would not fall out after being tightened.

It looked like it was put in a shoulder bag, but actually it was put in her space. That was the real reason why Liu Caixia gave it to her.

After the group returned home, Mrs. Li took Li Yao to cook lunch.

Liu Caixia started counting money in the room.

It seemed like I only sold for half a day today, but in the end I actually made more than nine taels of silver after deducting all the costs.

The profit is about 40 taels, which means a profit of 40%.

The profit is not high, after all, it does not include their wages, which are cheap these days.

Old Mrs. Li and Li Yao are just helping out. They are not paid at the moment, but they will definitely be paid in the future.

However, since we held an event right after the opening, if we don’t hold any more events later, we should be able to make half the profit.

Liu Caixia collected the money and went out to help prepare lunch. After she finished eating quickly, she went to buy ingredients for tomorrow, fearing that if she went too late, she would not be able to buy pork.

In Xiushui Village, Father Liu was leading everyone in building houses in full swing.

After the foundation is laid, we start building with adobe bricks.

The adobe bricks were all bought.

Father Liu knew that there was no adhesive at that time, and all that was used were adhesives such as loess or lime.

Based on modern knowledge, Liu's father mixed loess and lime and added some glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice flour has high adhesiveness, but the cost of glutinous rice is very high. In ancient times, poor people were relatively frugal, so not many people used glutinous rice mortar.

In order to keep a low profile, Liu's father mixed a bag of glutinous rice flour with lime and added it to the loess to make a thick mud.

When stacking earth bricks, apply a thin layer on the bricks and glue them together one by one. This way, the wall will be more solid and durable, and it will be extremely strong after drying.

The location of all the house walls was completed in six days.

During this period, Liu's father came to the county town and met with Liu Caixia.

After three days, Liu Caixia's braised meat and pickle business basically stabilized.

Every morning the store sells about 50 kilograms of braised meat and a jar of kimchi or spicy cabbage.

Starting from the third day, the amount of braised meat from Manager Sun was increased to 50 kilograms, and kimchi was also delivered to Wagang every day.

In this way, she had to make 100 kilograms of braised meat every day, so she directly ordered whole pig offal, pig heads, pig tails, and pig trotters from four pork shops in the county.

This way, there was less than 100 kilograms of food left, so Liu Caixia could only increase the variety of braised lean meat.

She cut the lean meat into small pieces, put them in and mixed them together before braising. It tasted very good, like braised beef.

And people at this time definitely don’t like lean meat as much as fat meat.

Basically, the best-selling pork in pork shops is fat meat.

People all like to eat pork belly.

But the braised lean meat is sold to rich people, especially to the restaurant owned by Manager Sun.

Many rich girls like it very much.

Don't underestimate women. Women in any period love beauty.

In order to maintain my figure, I can say that I have a better husband's family.

These women also don't eat fatty meat and even go on diets to lose weight.

As for cabbage and radishes, Liu Caixia also contacted vegetable farmers in the two villages. These two families collected vegetables in their respective villages and sold them in the city.

They will also make a profit from the price difference, and it is convenient to sell the vegetables they grow themselves, so they can support their family by selling vegetables all year round.

Liu Caixia selected several people, worked with them for two days, and then selected two of them.

Liu Caixia felt that these two people were reliable, honest and tactful.

Let these two people help her harvest vegetables, harvesting 200 kilograms of radishes and 100 kilograms of cabbage every day. And this agreement is valid for a long time. If one party wants to terminate the agreement in the middle, it must notify ten days in advance.

Liu Caixia asked them to pay for one day's food, which was not much. She also wrote a document that if they broke the contract temporarily, she would compensate them for ten days' food expenses.

Liu Caixia was at a disadvantage in the agreement, but she felt that this was the only way to attract these two people to work for her for a long time. In addition, the money for a day's vegetables was not a small amount for ordinary farmers.

When Liu's father came to the city, he saw this scene.

Liu Caixia, along with Old Lady Li, Li Yao and Liu Xiaolu, were cutting radishes and cabbages in the yard.

Li Wan'er was not idle either, helping to pass things around.

When Liu's father knocked on the door, everyone was busy and it was the little girl Li Wan'er who ran to open the door for him.

"Dad, why are you here today? I wanted to go back and take a look, but there are too many things to do here, and I am too busy every day. So I didn't go back to the village."

"Caixia, are you doing business now?"

Father Liu knew his daughter very well and knew that their business was doing well, otherwise he wouldn't be so busy.

"Yes, I made three things to sell: braised meat, kimchi, and spicy cabbage. Business is pretty good every day. I only sell them for half a day, and sometimes they are sold out very early. I come back to work in the afternoon. I also cooperate with a restaurant, so the daily volume is quite large. At present, we can only make this much, and we will be too busy to handle more. Dad, are you here for something? How is the construction of the house going?"

"The main structure of the house has been built. I came to the city to see if I can buy some blue bricks. I'm afraid that adobe bricks are not solid enough for building a kang. If I buy some baked blue bricks, I can put them on the top. Also, I think we can put up the beams and cover the tiles the day after tomorrow. I originally said that you could go back together if you have nothing to do, but now that you're so busy, there's no need to go back specially. We don't like those fancy things."

Putting up the beam is actually a big event for people who are building a house. Many families even have to find someone to look at the time and choose an auspicious day.

Father Liu felt that the house would not be their main residence in the future, but was just used as a transition, so the simpler the procedure could be, the better.

Besides, the conditions do not exist at present.

In another three or four days, Lin Weizhong and his group should be arriving.

You can't always stay in an inn or a villager's house. Build a house as soon as possible and move in as soon as possible.

"Okay, I won't go. You can send someone over tomorrow. I'll buy some more meat and stew it. Then I can treat the villagers who work there to a meal."

"I had this idea, and I thought I should buy some food when I go to the city this time, and treat the workers and the village chief to a meal that day. This way we can take root here, and it's good to gradually integrate into the village."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you. How many people?"

"There are eighteen people working, not counting the seven of us. We will ask the village chief and the two families for help. You should calculate based on fifty people and prepare ten more. In case someone wants to take something, you can't chase them away."

If a banquet is held when raising the beam, people who come to the banquet will also have to bring something or pay a share of money or something.

Father Liu was afraid that these people would come to join in the fun or take advantage.

He couldn't do anything to anyone on that day, so he could only make more preparations.
