Xie Songlin spoke directly about his next plan

"The business at hand is roughly divided into three parts. Now that we have been doing it for a while, we can definitely optimize our manpower. If you set up a stall here, the village can recruit two more people to follow you. You will be responsible for collecting the money and let them be responsible for serving iced drinks and washing dishes. Let my sister-in-law and Yuan'er come to the store."

Xie Songbai has three children. Xie Yuan follows them to set up the stall. Xie Yong, who is strong, follows Xie Songyang to deliver goods to Zuiyue Tower. Xie Rou has also gone to the kitchen of the shop to help.

"As for my second brother, let's recruit some people as well. Move Yong'er to the shop as well. Lian'er and Shu'er don't want to go out, so let them stay at home. There needs to be someone at home to take care of Mom."

Xie Songyang has only two daughters. Xie Lian refuses to go out every day because she is planning to marry someone else. The younger daughter, Xie Shu, is a little too young, so she is not very willing to go out either.

"Send the three boys from Third Brother's family to my shop. I will also bring my three boys to the shop."

Xie Songmu's family also has three children, the eldest son Xie Cheng, the second son Xie Jin, and the third son Xie An.

Listening to Xie Songlin's arrangement, the brothers were all a little confused. Xie Songbai said, "Songlin, you put all the children in your shop. Do you have other plans?"

"Big brother, you're right. I do have other plans." Xie Songlin touched Xie Wanxing's head with one hand. "To be honest with you brothers, I plan to invite a teacher to the shop. There are a few rooms in the backyard. I will turn one into a temporary school and let the children study there. In their spare time, they can help out in the shop."

Obviously, the three brothers of the Xie family were shocked by Xie Songlin's words. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. This was indeed a great thing.

Xie Songlin had already helped them a lot by bringing them into his business. Although it had only been a month, life at home had already changed dramatically.

Now, Xie Songlin's children want to go to school, and he has not forgotten the children of his brothers. They all know the importance of reading. Being able to recognize a few words or learn a skill is much better than making a living on the fields for the rest of their lives. However, life has been so hard that they are even worried about eating. They have never dared to hope that their children will have the opportunity to read and learn to read.

"Fourth brother..." Xie Songmu was so moved that he was speechless. He wanted to put down his bowl and chopsticks immediately and get two more sets of tables and chairs for Xie Songlin.

"It will cost a lot of money to hire a teacher, right? And will there be a teacher willing to teach?" Xie Songbai frowned, with a worried look on his face. A person who can be a teacher must at least be a juren. Scholars are often arrogant. Not only will the cost be high, but it may not be possible to find a suitable candidate.

"I don't plan on hiring a serious teacher. It's quite expensive, and most of them wouldn't look down on our uneducated children." Xie Songlin shook his head and continued, "Since we've opened our shop right in front of Hanfeng Academy, we naturally have to take advantage of such a good opportunity. Hanfeng Academy has a rigorous academic atmosphere, and the students there are naturally not bad. I plan to put up a notice at the door in a couple of days once the staffing is stabilized, hiring a poor student to just give the children some enlightenment, teach them to read and understand some principles. That's absolutely enough."

"That's a great idea!" Xie Songbai's eyes lit up. "The students in this academy are all top-notch talents, and there are also some from poor families. If we hire him as a teacher, it can be considered a good relationship."

Xie Songlin said, "That's what I think. Let the children start studying first. If they are particularly good at studying, we can send them to academy. They don't necessarily have to take the entrance exam to the most difficult Hanfeng Academy. It's the same if they find a good academy. If they really don't want to study, at least learn a few words and some accounting skills. Then they can become the manager of my shop in the future. I will definitely not just open this one shop."

Xie Songbai and his companions were deeply moved. They looked at Xie Songlin, their hearts filled with gratitude. This had paved the way for the children. Hadn't they worked so hard to ensure a better life for the children? Now, Xie Songlin's decision undoubtedly gave them great hope and motivation.

"Okay, that's settled then. Let Big Brother take charge of recruiting. You're the most popular person in the village and know a lot about each family. Pick a few honest and hardworking people to take over as soon as possible." Xie Songlin turned to Xie Songmu and said, "Third Brother, there's no rush for the furniture. I have some designs to draw for you later. You should continue to help me make bamboo bottles over the next two days."

"No problem." Xie Songmu agreed immediately.

After arranging the rest of the matters, the four brothers happily finished their meal and then went back to prepare their own things.

Xie Songlin went to the newly built workshop, where four large pots were built, which could be fired at the same time, saving him a lot of time. Every night he had to cook sour plum soup to be sent to Zuiyue Tower and the stall.

An idea flashed through his mind: could he cook all the supplies needed for delivery in the shop? This would make it closer to both the dock and Zuiyuelou, and he could also save an oxcart to use to ferry the children to the shop in town every day. He carefully weighed the feasibility of this idea.

He said he wanted to recruit people the night before, and the next day Xie Songbai found helpers with great efficiency. He chose a relatively honest and hardworking couple in the village, a young man named Xie Feng and his wife Lin who lived near Xie's house. They immediately followed him to the dock to set up a stall.

Xie Songyang's ox cart was loaded with goods. The driving area and the empty space at the back were full, so it was barely enough to fit everyone.

Xie Songlin squeezed next to Xie Songyang. He had already counted the accounts last night. Although the preparations on the first day were not sufficient, he had already earned more than three taels of silver after the business was open. With full staff and sufficient goods in the future, he would definitely make more money. Moreover, the sour plum soup that cost one cent now was just to attract customers. The real money-making food would be the milk tea in the autumn and winter.

Because the business of Zuiyue Tower and the wharf has always been profitable, even after paying half a year's rent and doing some simple renovations, he still has thirty or forty taels of silver on hand, which is more than enough to buy an ox cart. When the autumn plowing season comes, the village chief may not be able to lend them the ox cart every day, so buying another ox cart is imperative. Otherwise, both business and family travel will be too restricted.

"Second brother, after you deliver the goods today, go to the brokerage office and buy me an ox cart." Xie Songlin said as he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Xie Songyang.

"Okay, this is indeed inconvenient. If the next few guys come, the car really can't accommodate them. It will be a waste of time to walk to the town." Xie Songyang took the silver and nodded in response.

As usual, everyone got off the bus when they reached the main street and went about their own business.
