Wang Lung watched Cao Laifu shovel the garbage onto the small cart with a shovel, and then said, "Is it enough for one person to clean up the garbage?" ”

Laifu said as he shoveled the garbage onto the cart, "That's definitely not enough." If it was enough, I wouldn't have stayed off work at this time. ”

Wang Lung said, "That's okay." Looks like I'm going to have to recruit a few more people to help. A month ago, did you do the same thing? ”

Rifle nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Wang Lung said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

Cao Laifu said: "My life is saved by the boss, how can I be embarrassed to tell you, I do a little more work, no matter what, it should be." ”

Wang Lung said: "No, I let you get off work every day in the evening, and now it's the end of the day, more than an hour, and I will count your salary according to fifty copper coins for this hour." It's exactly the same as the treatment of the weavers in the factory, right?"

Cao Laifu immediately said, "This is not going to work. You are my life-saving benefactor, how can I be embarrassed to ask you for overtime pay again. I'm going to make you a cow and a horse now, and I think it's right. Boss, don't be so nice to me, you are so good to me, I don't even know how to face you. ”

These words made Wang Lung laugh out loud, thinking, this is quite cute.

Wang Lung said: "If you work overtime, I will pay you a salary, that's right." Don't talk so much, I just do it. You work hard, save some money, marry a daughter-in-law next year, start a family, okay? ”

Cao Laifu said gratefully, "Okay." ”

Wang Lung said, "Then I'll go." ”

With that, Wang Lung turned around and left.

Although it is the time of the year, but there are still traces of this Wangjia Village, because Wang Lung built two factories in the village, plus the business is good, a series of industries have been derived, there are many people in the village have started to make supper, some sell barbecue, some make soup powder, some sell baked cakes, these small traders saw Wang Lung coming over, they all greeted warmly, and called Wang Lung the title of Boss Long, Long Shaowei and face, not a fool.

Wang Lung also responded to these small vendors one by one, and also bought some delicacies from where they were by the way.

When he crossed this street and returned home, Wang Lung was already carrying a large bag of delicious food in his hand, and walked into the bright house, only to see Li Yu sitting in front of a textile machine in the corner spinning cloth, Wang Lung said softly: "Lady, come and eat." ”

said. Wang Lung put all the delicacies he was carrying on the table, then sat down on the chair, picked up a still hot baked cake and ate it.

Li Yu said while spinning, "You eat first." I'm not hungry. ”

Wang Lung said, "Ah Yu, then come and sit down for a while and chat with me for the next day." ”

Li Yu said, "Okay." ”

Li Yu put down the work at hand, walked to Wang Lung, sat next to Wang Lung, picked up a baked cake and ate it, and said with a smile: "Xianggong, what's the matter." I see your expression is quite serious. ”

Wang Lung smiled and said, "It's nothing. Aren't you hungry? Why did you eat the pancakes again? Not afraid of fat. ”

Li Yu said: "I'm not hungry, but seeing you eating, I want to eat too, don't you give me food?" Hey. ”

Wang Lung said: "No, I bought so many things and came back, just for us to eat." Why won't I give it to you, I'm not happy if you don't eat it. ”

Li Yu said: "That's it." ”

The two of them had supper.

Li Yu, who was not hungry, killed a few baked cakes and a bowl of soup powder at once, Wang Lung looked at it and smiled and said, "Are you not hungry?" ”

Li Yu said: "Just because I'm not hungry doesn't mean I can't eat." ”

Wang Lung said, "Uh-huh. I'm going to tell you about the company now. Tomorrow, you can recruit two more cleaners, this is too busy. Second, when you get home in the future, don't always sit in front of the loom and weave, you should have some other entertainment, life is not only work, but also others. Third, when I was the chief engineer of the construction of the beautiful Daji Town, I spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of land of 20 acres in the center of the town, and I still don't know what to do with that piece of land? What can you do for me? ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "Open one more textile factory." Now our textile factory business is so hot, which shows that the market is not full, and the town center has convenient transportation, the location is conspicuous, if our textile factory wants to become bigger and stronger, it must be better to move to the town center. ”

Wang Lung said: "Sounds quite reasonable. But I think life is not just about making money. You also need to do something to make yourself happy. ”

Li Yu said: "Xianggong, you have your own ideas, just pick it out with me." Why bother, ask me. In fact, no matter what you do, I will support you. I'm with you, not because you have money, but because I feel comfortable with you. ”

Wang Lung said, "Okay. Then I'll make it clear. The land in the center of the town, I think it can be used for a wide range of purposes, it can be used to build houses, shops, and factories, but I think it is more suitable to grow herbs now. Because since I prescribed a dose of Chinese medicine to Cao Laifu to cure his edema, the prescription has been circulating in the town.

As a result, the town's schisandra chinensis, licorice and other traditional Chinese medicines used to treat edema are very scarce, and one or two schisandra originally only needed one tael of silver, but now it has risen to ten taels of silver.

Many patients with edema are unemployed or have low incomes, so where can they afford to buy such expensive medicinal herbs.

If you don't have money to buy medicine, you can only wait for death.

Although we can eliminate the panic discrimination of most people about edema, we have not solved the problem that most people have difficulty in seeing a doctor.

We're not short of money, so let's do something meaningful.

And I think there is a lot of promise for growing herbs.

There is a saying that you must eat food, and you must see your illness. After we grow the herbs, we can open a chain of pharmacies. In a few years, it will definitely become the largest chain pharmacy in the country.

At that time, we will rely on this pharmacy to become the richest man in the country of great changes. Ha ha. ”

Seeing that Wang Lung said so passionately, Li Yu was sincerely happy, but said naughtily: "Xianggong, how did I hear that in the end, I feel that you are planting herbs to make money in the end." It is not to solve the problem of lack of medicinal materials in Daji Town. Hey. ”

Wang Lung was originally quite happy, but Li Yu's words were like a plate of cold water poured on the top of Wang Lung's head, which made Wang Lung's emotions calm down all of a sudden.

Wang Lung said: "Ah Yu, what you said really embarrassed me, if I was just to make money, I would have a hundred ways to make money." You don't need to grow herbs at all. And I think it's faster, more and easier to make money by opening a pharmacy than growing herbs. ”

Li Yu said: "Okay. I misunderstood you. But there are so many things to do in the textile factory, I can't control you to grow medicinal herbs. ”

Wang Lung said: "You just need to help me take care of the textile factory and the brick factory." As a manager, you don't have to do the work of a worker. You just have to tell them to do it. ”

Li Yu said, "Okay."

Wang Lung said, "That's good. After eating, we go for a walk and then rest. ”

Li Yu said, "Hmm."
