Chapter 167: A Necessary New Year's Gift

"These are all deposits left by the procurement office that found me last night......" When Lezi put a whole bag of silver on the kang, even the Qingshan family and the money shopkeeper were all pleasantly surprised.

"So much silver?" Looking at the various sizes of silver ingots spread on the kang, there are more than three hundred taels. Cui'er looked at the silver in front of her in disbelief, and felt that the dim sum was a little too much, she just made a box of eight kinds of dim sum, why was it so popular?

Cui'er couldn't help frowning and looked at Lian Qingshan, seeing that he was also frowning slightly and looking contemplative, and then turned her head to look at the adults and children sitting on the kang, seeing that the Qian family and his wife were quite restrained, just looking at a pile of silver and their eyes were shining, but the remaining half-grown children and children were completely smiling.

"A lot of silver, mother, we have this silver, can we buy a lot of meat, and our three pigs don't have to be sold?" Xiaohu's eyes were shining, and he said to Cui'er with cheers.

"Xiaohu doesn't want to sell three pigs?" Cui'er stretched out her hand and touched Xiaohu's head, and asked gently.

"Well, I don't want to, it would be nice if all three pigs were brought to eat meat for themselves!" Xiaohu thought for a while, nodded seriously, and thought of the delicious pork, Xiaohu couldn't help but suck his saliva, looking like a little gluttonous cat.

"If my mother earns a lot of money, the pork will be left for you to eat!" Cui'er looked at Xiaohu's greedy appearance funny, reached out and pinched his cheek and smiled.

"Great!" Xiaohu slapped excitedly, very happy.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, what do you think of this deposit?" Cui'er patted Xiaohu on the back, signaling him to speak later, and turned her head to look at Shopkeeper Qian and Mrs. Qian.

"This ......" The money shopkeeper hesitated a little, his brows were furrowed tightly, and the expression on his face was very strange, as if he remembered the past when he was the grocery store shopkeeper, and as if he thought of the unfair treatment he received in the Qian family. For a moment, he hesitated.

"What else do you want to see? Let's do business openly, and it's a fool to have money that doesn't make money! Mrs. Qian said very coolly, and then said to Cui'er, "Sister Cui'er." You like this dim sum Mrs. Zhao very much, let's not talk about other things, this is a proper dim sum to earn money, what is there to hesitate about? ”

"What my sister-in-law said is that if we open the door to do business, we are naturally not afraid of big business!" Mrs. Qian's coolness made Cui'er's heart also perk, and she left the little hesitation in her heart just now, "Let's make dim sum, as long as we make dim sum, this list can't run away." Then there is nothing to hesitate about. As she spoke, Cui'er involuntarily turned her head to look at Lian Qingshan, wanting him to give some advice. 2

"Cui'er, as long as you don't get tired, I will support you in whatever you do." Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er fixedly and said. He hesitated just now. I was afraid that my dim sum would be too famous, and it would be bad to provoke the people who were chasing and killing at the beginning to find it, but seeing Cui'er's excited appearance, Lian Qingshan thought about it carefully, and still felt that this dim sum business could be done.

"Qingshan ......" Cui'er was looked at by Lian Qingshan's doting eyes, her cheeks were flushed and extremely beautiful, and she had Lian Qingshan's support. Cui'er's heart became more calm, and she looked at Mrs. Qian, "Sister-in-law, if there is nothing wrong with this order, let's go ahead, if these people are too busy to do the work in the dim sum workshop now." Just find more people. ”

"Okay, let's take a look at the order first." Mrs. Qian looked at Lezi who came over with the silver, "Lezi, who is the person who sets the things?" ”

"Oh, it's this. According to the custom in our previous shop, I wrote down the person who ordered the things and the money. As he spoke, he took out a pamphlet from his bosom, which detailed the details of who wanted to order something, how much money was paid, and so on.

Mrs. Qian took a rough look at the booklet, and then handed it to Cui'er, who looked at the booklet and couldn't help nodding slightly and said, "Well, the fun is good, this account book is very detailed." ”

"Hehe, Sister-in-law Cui has won the award, this is all taught well by the money shopkeeper." Le Zi was praised by Cui'er, and he was so happy in his heart, but his face was still tense, and he was not particularly happy, and when he was talking, he also made a gesture in the direction of the money shopkeeper.

"This kid, if you're happy, you're happy, what are you still doing!" The shopkeeper looked at Le Zi and respected himself as before, and only felt that his heart was sour and very comfortable, "I have been the shopkeeper for so long now, and I can be regarded as content to bring out such a good boy with affection and righteousness!" ”

"The shopkeeper's ......" Le Zi looked at the money shopkeeper's comforting look, and called in a low voice, obviously being valued so much by the money shopkeeper, which made Le Zi's heart very happy.

"You guys, what are you moving when you make money!" Mrs. Qian looked at the inexplicable move of the shopkeeper Qian, and couldn't help choking, "Come on, come on, hurry up and close the account, how many snacks are we going to make, how many raw materials need to be bought, how many boxes are we going to make, if this is not done well, there will be no goods to hand over at that time, see what you do!" ”

Mrs. Qian neatly took the booklet with the order in her hand, and then took out the account book she had used for the previous order from her sleeve, as well as the detailed accounts such as the purchase of raw materials and snack boxes, while Cui'er took out the shipment records she sorted out, as well as the amount of raw materials and time-consuming accounts needed to produce various snacks.

When the men were relatively moved, the two women had already neatly counted the silver on the kang, and then reconciled the accounts.

"We received a total of 348 taels of deposits today, all of which are scheduled to be happy, that is, ...... 870 boxes of orders...... Eight hundred and seventy boxes should be ordered at least 900 dim sum boxes, 500 catties of raw materials...... "Mrs. Qian crackled and pulled the abacus beads, and neatly quoted the number of orders.

"Well, we had a total of 200 boxes of orders for Baxi Advent before, and we have already delivered 30 boxes, plus these 870 boxes, a total of 1,000 and 40 boxes, and now there is no problem in making 80 boxes a day, that is, it takes 13 days to complete the order...... And that's not even counting the additional orders for today and tomorrow. Cui'er didn't need to use an abacus, she made a noise on the kang with her hand, and also reported the number, which was not a star and a half slower than Mrs. Qian, who had been in business for more than ten years.

"Cui'er, we have to speed up this speed, I looked at the order of this order, there are people in the town with a face. Half of the people have already placed the order, and if I am not mistaken, the other half of the people will have to pay the deposit in less than two days. ”

Mrs. Qian looked at the pile of silver in front of her. The smile on his face can't be stopped, this is more than three hundred taels of silver for nothing, even if he gouges out all the capital and divides half of it, there will be at least one hundred taels! If the rest of the people in the town place another order, by the end of the month of the Chinese New Year, their own family can earn more than 200 taels of silver just by doing dim sum business, which is not much different from the family wealth that they have saved for so many years!

"How do you say that?" Cui'er raised her eyes in some surprise and asked, obviously not knowing where Mrs. Qian started with this.

"My sister's time in this town is still short. It's not uncommon not to know. Mrs. Qian looked at the shopkeeper of Qian, and then approached Cui'er and said, "The rich families in this town always feel that they are superior to others, and they can show off anything new. Let's just say that these eight joys are coming, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhao to show off, where would we be able to achieve so much business in our family? ”

"Hmm......" Cui'er listened to Mrs. Qian's words, and nodded thoughtfully, this person who loves to show off naturally can't fall behind in everything, and Mrs. Zhao's family has eight joys. The people next to them found a way to settle in the middle of the night, if half of the rich families in the town had set this snack, and those who didn't have this snack, wouldn't they be looked down upon?

When Cui'er thought about it, she knew that she had created a new thing that was fashionable in the town this year, because of this initial recognition. Even if their own dim sum is not perfect, the people in the town will rush to buy their own dim sum for the sake of face.

"Girl, if you figure it out, you know why we have to hurry up, right? Let's have eight joys. In less than three days, it will definitely become a must-have New Year's gift for the town's face-to-face people. Mrs. Qian looked at Cui'er's eyes shining with clarity, and knew that Cui'er had understood what she said, and patted her thigh quite arrogantly and said.

"Daughter-in-law, we are trading and not robbing roads, what are we doing with a vote!" Shopkeeper Qian and Lian Qingshan had a very happy conversation, and when he heard Mrs. Qian's arrogant words, he couldn't help but tease, making Mrs. Qian blush, and glanced at him.

"Haha, I understand what my sister-in-law means, we really have to take advantage of this east wind to earn some silver, and when spring starts next year, we will still be busy!" Cui'er has a lot of things on her mind, she wants to earn more money for self-defense, the two big girls and Xiaohu entering Beijing to recognize their relatives, and her true identity that I don't know what it is.

"Yes, let's start acting now, I'm responsible for buying raw materials and selling goods, Cui'er just needs to make the dim sum well, we don't have enough manpower, so we will recruit some more people to come, and make sure that the dim sum can be delivered on time!" Mrs. Qian said confidently.

"Alright, let's get started!" Cui'er nodded in response, her eyes shining brightly.

At the sound of an order, everyone performed their duties.

Lian Qingshan and Cui'er were in charge of the production of dim sum, because Cui'er's belly was not small, and several women were too busy to make such a large amount of dim sum, so Lian Qingshan helped Cui'er take charge of taking a few strong men to make dough kneading.

With a special person kneading dough, Cui'er will also streamline the rest of the process, some people are responsible for peeling dry goods to make nuts, some people are responsible for boiling beans and jujubes for filling, some people are responsible for rolling out the skin and wrapping snacks, and some people are responsible for baking snacks...... Because the manpower was really insufficient, in addition to the eight people she had found before, Aunt Lu helped Cui'er find four more people, divided into four groups of three people each, and began to get busy in a neat and orderly manner.

Cui'er hummed a little song and shuttled through the kitchen, following Aunt Lu to guide everyone's movements, and the output in the dim sum workshop is also increasing day by day, from the beginning of 80 boxes per day, to 100 boxes per day, and on the third day, you can make a full 130 boxes of eight joys every day.

Mrs. Qian and Yufu ran around to buy all the dim sum raw materials, boxes for dim sum, etc., and after moving the raw materials back, they had to send the finished dim sum to the town.

The money shopkeeper, who was originally recuperating at home, was not in good health, but he also volunteered to receive the task, and took the fun to the town to temporarily rent a small shop, which was specifically responsible for receiving the reservation of Baxi Linmen dim sum, as well as the function of the pick-up point, responsible for delivering the finished dim sum that Mrs. Qian sent to the town to the hands of various customers, although he was tired, his spirit was much better than the original.

The silver money flowed from Shili Town to Cui'er's house, and then a cart of dim sum walked from this small country courtyard filled with the aroma of pastries from morning to night, and delivered it to the hands of each guest, in exchange for more final payment.

The orders were completed one by one, the money box was more and more silver, and the smiles on the faces of the two families were getting bigger and bigger.
