Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

After lunch, the group went to the study room to prepare to write a contract based on the conditions discussed, and finalize the cooperation today. It would take a lot of time to prepare for the opening, so the sooner the preparations were done, the sooner the opening would be, the sooner the money would be earned.

Not long after Shen Wanshan left, a maid was preparing ingredients for the next day in the yard when there was a knock on the door.

The old woman wiped her hands and opened the door. Seeing a young man, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Aunt, I'm here to see Master Liu. I made an agreement with him yesterday."

"Oh, wait a minute."

When Liu's father heard about this, a young man patted his head and asked why he had forgotten something. It turned out that Zhuzi, who had agreed to come, had not shown up.

"Master Liu, the store is quite busy today. I have been busy with my new assistant until now. I just hurried over here."

Zhuzi looked around and found that only Liu's father and Luo Hong were talking. He didn't see Mr. Shen, so he knew that Mr. Shen had probably left. He was a little disappointed.

Father Liu saw his disappointment and brought him in. "You look hot. Drink some water and take a rest."

"Master Liu, I am late."

"It's okay. Although Shen Wanshan has left, our discussion went smoothly. It doesn't matter if you didn't hear it. I will teach you slowly later."

When Zhuzi heard that he could continue to work here and receive personal instruction from Master Liu, he quickly stood up and thanked him, "Master Liu..."

Father Liu stopped the man and said, "Alright, alright. Stop talking so much. I have something to tell you now."

"Okay, your orders."

"You are familiar with Fucheng. If you have nothing to do these few days, you can go around Fucheng and learn more about it. Here are a few lists with some things listed. Find some merchants for me in Fucheng, compare them and select one or two for long-term cooperation."

"Okay. I'm familiar with all the merchants in the city. Don't worry, I know everything and have recorded it down."

"Yes, yes, that's what we have to do now. Also, go to the dental shop tomorrow and help me find a few families who can work on the farm and live an honest life. Later, I plan to set up a small workshop on the farm, specializing in making marinade bags and seasoning bags. About ten people will be enough to work, and families with children can also buy them back to raise them together."

"Okay, I understand. Master, I will go to the dental clinic for one more day tomorrow and tell the owner that I will not go the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, the day after tomorrow you will concentrate on doing the things I give you."

When Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong came in from outside, they heard Liu's father instructing Zhuzi.

"Dad, we are back."

"You came back late today?"

"Well, someone came to the store today and delayed us a bit."

"Is something wrong?"

"He also wants our braised pork recipe. Luckily, we discussed this braised pork recipe yesterday. I asked, and the boss is a businessman from Dongzhou, and he travels along the Mother River all year round. I told him about our plan, and signed a contract with him for 100 packages of marinade. He will go west by boat later, so he can come back to pick up the goods when he passes by the city."

"How much do you offer per pack?"

"He ordered 50 bags and I paid him one tael of silver for each bag. One bag can stew 80- kilograms of ingredients. I explained to him how to use the bags. One bag can be used repeatedly. If the taste becomes bland, you can filter out the old brine and add new bags to continue using. He agreed to the price of one tael of silver without even bargaining."

"Okay, the merchants from Dongzhou have no influence on us for now."

"Yeah, let's make some money first."

"You need to find someone to take over the braised meat shop as soon as possible, and you need to quickly open the workshop for the marinade and seasoning packages. I have decided not to go to the prefecture with Luo Hong and the others, and we need to start the business here now. Luo Hong will take Li Yao and Song Bai with him. When we get to Qingzhou Prefecture, we can look for Chen Ziqi. There are still three or four months left, so hurry up and open the twelve shops of the Shen family."

"Okay, the guy we bought before is now fully capable of taking care of things on his own. We still don't have enough manpower at home."

"Well, we can't hire so many people for now, so we'll hire a few people now. We'll hire someone to clean the pig's offal and prepare the food. We'll live in the manor three times, and start a workshop to make all the ingredients. Wei Zhong will have to work hard to go to the city every day to keep an eye on the store."

"It's not hard. It only takes an hour to drive a carriage from the farm to here and back. This house in the city is really too small. Doesn't Mr. Shen have two shops in the city? We can make braised meat here and supply it to him. We can open the two shops in the city first."

"Sure. The house here will just focus on making braised meat and kimchi to supply to the four shops in the city. Luo Hong and his team plan to go to the city as soon as possible. After they leave, the house in front will be converted into a workshop for cleaning raw materials, and a few large pots will be built in the house in the back to cook braised meat."

"Okay, let the women we bought take care of that from now on. I'm still preparing the marinade packets, and they haven't been ground into powder yet. If someone powerful sees it, there's still a risk of it leaking."

"Fortunately, the three guys I bought last time are all quite capable. Besides, they are all alone and don't have any weaknesses."

"The three of them are still young, so we should give them a chance to start a new family so that they won't be seduced by women outside. A stable family is also a sense of responsibility for men."

"Well, I'll see to it. Don't we have a few maids at home? When we get to know each other better, if there are any who are of similar age and attractive to us, we'll arrange a home for them and provide for their retirement when they get old."

"We need to arrange a welfare system for these employees. Although they are purchased servants, we always have to make them work willingly, and their loyalty will be higher."

"Well, you can consider the benefits of salary plus retirement. Salaries are low now, and when they reach a certain age, they don't have to do such heavy work. We can arrange for them to retire on the farm and do some lighter work. When they are too old to move, we will arrange for someone to take care of their food and daily life."

"Caixia, come up with some rules and regulations. Hold a meeting for them and get things arranged."

"Dad, don't worry, I will make arrangements. Just worry less and go to bed early."

"I just talk and run errands. I can't do physical work anymore. After I finish my work here, I have to go back to the county. I plan to experiment with growing chili peppers in a greenhouse on the farm. The business at home has grown, and the amount of chili peppers needed is too large. I have to increase the planting. In addition, the greenhouse vegetables grown in winter can be used to cook in the store, which is a feature that others don't have. Improve competitiveness and make a name for yourself as soon as possible."

"I think it's okay."

"Okay, let's do it!"
