Chapter 577: Tear Down the Bridge When You Cross the River!
"How big of a workshop does my father-in-law plan to open and how much money does he want to invest?" Jiayin's eyes are shining.
It's not that this matter is profitable, but that she has always wanted to help her father-in-law, and now she has finally waited for the opportunity!
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw her so positive.
Mrs. Li rubbed her granddaughter's hair and joked: "Another day, Hongying think about it, when this child was born, did she hold silver in her hand?" Was it because we were too busy to see it?!
"This is simply the reincarnation of a money fan, and the people on the other side are average, but as soon as the word silver is mentioned, my eyes can't help but glow."
Tao Hongying also smiled and agreed, "I think this child was born with a rice bowl, and he has been greedy since he was a child!" ”
Jiayin was teased by her grandmother and mother, and she was not angry, and said with her little teeth: "Grandma and mother are right, I was born with a rice bowl, and there is a big silver coin in the bowl!" ”
"Phew, phew, that's begging!" Mrs. Li glared at her granddaughter, and everyone laughed even harder.
Jiayin sat opposite his father-in-law and asked, "My father-in-law hasn't said yet, how big a workshop is it and how much money is invested?" ”
Hou Ye thought for a while, and then said: "Of the wounded soldiers brought back from this expedition, there are more than 200 people left except those who chose to return home and those who were resettled in our village. Among them, there were more than 80 people, who were seriously injured and had difficulty moving.
"The best workshop work, they can do it, and they earn enough to survive. As for the money invested...... Within 1,000 taels is fine! ”
Jiayin's little face smiled like a flower when she heard this, "Father-in-law, then I really have two ways here, you wait a minute." ”
She got up and ran back to the backyard, quickly bringing over two things, a large folded piece of paper and a handful of dried noodles.
Everyone was curious, and Jiayin handed the dried noodles to Hou Ye and said, "Father-in-law, you should know about this noodles, right?" The family always sends a lot of them to the dock, and you and your father go out on the expedition and take them out, as long as there is water and a pot, you can eat it after boiling it. If you eat it with meat sauce, it will be more fragrant, isn't it? ”
Hou Ye nodded and guessed, "This kind of noodles are not afraid of rotting, and it is really convenient to eat, do you want to open a noodle workshop?" ”
"Yes, father-in-law, the process of making this noodle is very troublesome, and it takes at least three days from making the noodles to drying them. It requires a lot of manpower, and it doesn't need to move around much, just sit.
"Besides, the sale will not be bad, after all, the new capital to the southern state capitals, there are many people coming and going every day. It is an ordinary family, and it is also a good gift to visit the elderly and women who give birth to children during the New Year's Festival, and carry two catties of dried noodles. ”
Mrs. Li couldn't help but interject: "Fu Niu'er is right, the life of the common people is not easy, and it is difficult to eat a bowl of gnocchi on weekdays." If you are walking around to visit, it is indeed a good gift to take two catties of dried noodles. You can eat it when you boil it in the pot, you don't need to roll the noodles yourself, it's convenient and affordable! ”
Tao Hongying also said, "This dry noodle is best sold with meat sauce." Then you have to open a farmhouse sauce workshop, and you also need manpower. ”
Jiayin smiled and praised grandma and mother, "Grandma and mother are amazing, that's it." ”
Tao Hongying said: "Master Hou, leave this matter to me and my mother, let's make dry noodles tomorrow, see how many dried noodles are produced in one pound of noodles, calculate the cost, and then calculate how many people are needed for each process, and finally tell you a real bottom."
"Fu Niu'er, this girl, I only see that we have done it, but she has not done it, and she can't do these things."
"Mother, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, I came up with a good idea, but you left me aside and disliked me!"
Jiayin pouted and complained, but was knocked by the old lady, "You were born to me, what's wrong with disliking you, do you have an opinion?" ”
"No, it's good if you're happy."
Jiayin shrank her neck and quickly hid beside her father-in-law, causing everyone to laugh.
Hou Ye opened the big piece of paper and asked, "Fu Niu'er, this is a map?" ”
"Yes, it's a map, a simple map!" Jiayin came to his senses again, and said with great interest: "Father-in-law, you see, on this map, there is only the route from Quanzhou along the canal, and the prefectures, county seats, and small towns on both sides are simply marked by my brother. ”
She pointed to a few places where steamed buns were drawn, "Every time my uncle's fleet goes to these places, they have to buy things. Last time, I saw a man ask Uncle to bring a package to one of them to his wife's uncle, and for this reason, I also asked Uncle to drink, thank Uncle for his help!
"Father-in-law, you said that those who don't know the uncle, they have letters or things to piggyback, what should I do, do you also have to find other caravans? If you can't find it, can't you get through the message?
"If we send veterans to settle in Xindu and these docks, mark the parcels and letters collected from various places, and send them out. If you send the letters and parcels delivered from all over the place to the recipients, it will definitely take a lot of people.
"And this work can be done without hands and feet, and if you run far, you can buy a donkey cart. The news spread, and people may not have to pick up the mail everywhere, and they will find the door......"
Jiayin said excitedly, and pointed to the southwest location of the map, "Also, father-in-law, if someone doesn't want to sit in the workshop and don't want to deliver parcels and letters, then go on an adventure."
"For example, here, there is a medicinal herb called Panax notoginseng, which I have always wanted, but the uncle's fleet only goes to Quanzhou and does not go here at all. There are so many delicious fruits here, I want them too! ”
After that, she pointed to Jiangbei's location and said, "Father-in-law, these veterans are most familiar with Jiangbei."
"If it is here in Xindu, which rich and noble family wants to find more valuable things, rescue someone, or like the Guo family, they must want to bring back the bones of their children and grandchildren. They are afraid that they will be willing to spend a lot of money and hire people to ......."
Jiayin didn't wait to speak, but he was suddenly picked up by Hou Ye and turned around several times in place.
"Fu Niu'er is really amazing, you helped your father-in-law solve a big problem!"
Jia Yin was dizzy, but it was rare to see his father-in-law so happy, and he also giggled.
Li Lao Er also smiled from ear to ear, "You still have to make a move from Fu Niu'er!" Hou Ye frowned for a day, and he scolded the young lady of the Wu family before......"
"Who is Miss Wu?" Mrs. Li was the first to ask.
The fire of everyone's gossip was immediately ignited, that is, Jiayin grabbed the collar of his father-in-law, and joined the melon-eating team at the speed of light, "Father-in-law, who is Miss Wu?" Is it my future stepmother? ”
"No, don't listen to your second uncle's nonsense!" Hou Ye coughed dryly, put down Jiayin and said, "You guys sit, I'll go and write down what Fu Niu'er said and sort it out." ”
With that, he strode back to the next door.
When everyone saw him like this, they couldn't help but snicker, and finally pulled Li Lao Er to investigate carefully.
Li Lao Er didn't know much, so he could only say: "In the afternoon, I was going to have dinner with Hou Ye in the Hou Mansion to discuss the placement of wounded soldiers, but I was intercepted by a girl as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
"The girl said that she was from the Hou Mansion of Jiangning, said that she had liked Hou Ye since she was a child, and asked Hou Ye why he didn't want to marry her?"
