"Have you sold the beauty cream and lady cream?"

Chixi understands hunger marketing, so he only asked Xi Dazhuang to bring five cans of beauty cream and five cans of lady cream to the county seat.

"Mrs. Chen wants them all."

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "She said that in the future, we will bring her over, and she asked me to come back to discuss with you, if you want, you can sell her the beauty cream and lady cream in your hand in the future." ”

He chuckled, "I refused, though. ”

Sell them all to her, what's the difference between that and a monopoly?

Chi Xi nodded and said with a smile, "You were right to reject her." ”

If she sells this beauty cream to others, it will cost at least twenty taels of silver a jar, and if she sells it to Mrs. Chen, it will cost fifteen taels of silver, which is already a special case, if she sells it all to Mrs. Chen in the future, won't it reduce her income a lot?

Xi Dazhuang whispered: "When my husband came back today, he was stopped by the people from the next village and wanted to sell the land to us. Tomorrow I will go to see it for my husband, and if the field is good, I will buy it for my husband. What to plant in the future and how to deal with it, you have the final say! ”

"The next village?"

Chi Xi was stunned for a moment and asked, "But Jinjiaba?" ”

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "There are Jinjiaba, and there are also Li Jiachong." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Chixi pursed his lips and said: "The land in those two villages is relatively fertile, but they are all small roads taken by people, at most you can cross cattle and horses, and it is far away from our village. ”

"Actually, my husband has always had an idea in my heart, and now that you have said so, I want to discuss it with you."

Xi Dazhuang said in a slow voice: "The road to the county seat here is full of potholes, and the car is difficult, and when I take you to the county seat, my husband is always worried that the carriage will turn you." If we repair the surrounding roads, it will be convenient for driving in the future. ”

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

But nowadays, except for the county seat, where there are one or two flat streets in the town, the rest are dirt roads. As long as it rains, it is full of puddles, and even if it doesn't rain, there are potholes, people walk with dirty shoes, and cars go bumpy and bumpy.

In fact, Chixi has wanted to build a road for a long time.

After all, in the future, their business will become bigger, the roads will be smoother, and the transportation will be convenient, and more people will come and go.

It's just that they didn't have any money some time ago, but now they have a little savings in their hands, but these savings can't support them to build such a long road.

Chi Xi silently calculated in his heart that it would cost money to hire workers to build roads, it would take silver to build roads to occupy other people's fields, and the materials needed to build roads would also cost silver......

"Brother Zhuang, you said that you want to build a road, and I am very supportive. But now we don't have enough money on hand, so why don't we find a way to make more money......"

After Chi Xi squinted and pondered for a moment, he suddenly laughed: "I thought of another way to make money." ”

"What?"

Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows, pinched the tip of Chixi's nose with some curiosity, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow, and he smiled dotingly: "How can you have so many thoughts in your little head?" ”

"In fact, there are many ways to make money, it all depends on whether you have the courage to try and whether you have the ability to achieve it."

Chixi pulled down Xi Dazhuang's big hand and held it in his hand, and said, "Our current savings are not enough to build roads, but it is okay to mine stones and burn green tiles." Most of the houses in the village are still made of bamboo and wood, afraid of fire and water, and easy to rot due to moths and insects, and there will be collapse or loopholes in a few years. ”

Xi Dazhuang raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"You have a lot of brothers under your hands, all of them are strong men, if we can approve the mining of a stone mountain, can we sell it to the people in the village to build a house? Burn green tiles and build houses for them, so that they can live a solid and stable life, and they don't have to worry about the thatch on the roof being blown away when the wind is a little stronger, and they don't have to worry about the house becoming a puddle when the rain is heavy. ”

Chi Xi said with a smile: "As long as everyone in our village has built stone and green tile houses, the next village or other people will follow suit, this is a long-term business!" ”

"And where did they get the money?"

Xi Dazhuang had a faint guess in his heart, but he still wanted to hear his daughter-in-law say: "Many of them are still hungry now!" Even if you have money, you won't use it to build a house, right? ”

"Won't the money come for us to build roads, farm fields, and do some other work?"

Chi Xi smiled and said, "In this way, their lives will be more comfortable, we will build the road, and the business will also grow, and the silver will be available." ”

It's a virtuous circle.

Xi Dazhuang laughed out loud when he heard this, hugged his daughter-in-law tightly, lowered his head to kiss her, and said with a lingering smile: "Daughter-in-law, you are really a little clever, how can you be so smart with a little head?" ”

Chi Xi raised his hand and patted Xi Dazhuang's chest: "You lightened, it hurt me." Our family also has some savings now, and the business is getting more and more beautiful, so we can't let others do it all the time, right? Only by achieving common prosperity will others not always stare at our family. ”

"My daughter-in-law is right."

Although he is not afraid of the villagers, he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves.

Chixi and Xi Dazhuang are both very active people, and the next day they spread the news that they were going to build the road, and everyone in the village who could carry a hoe ran to their door to ask: "Xi Dazhuang, Chixi, your family wants to build a road, do you need us?" ”

Although they knew that Xi Dazhuang had more than forty brothers on call at any time, and if it was said that more than forty people were enough to build roads, they still wanted to ask and find an opportunity.

Xi Dazhuang stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked at the crowd, nodded and said, "Yes, it is needed, but the salary we can give is only 16 wen a day, and we have to work for five hours a day, and only have one lunch." ”

As soon as Xi Dazhuang's words came out, everyone hurriedly expressed their willingness.

Not to mention that they are willing to do it if they only give 12 wen a day.

Xi Dazhuang casually ordered a dozen or so strong men, and then raised his voice: "So far, I only need these ten people, and the others will go home early!" I will ask you again if necessary. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chixi: "You can't do so much to eat, so pick a few women you like to stay." ’

As soon as Xi Dazhuang's words came out, the woman in the crowd hurriedly waved her hand at Chixi: "Xiaoxi, I cook deliciously, choose me, choose me!" ”

"My cooking is also delicious, my hands and feet are quick and fast, choose me!"

Chi Xi walked to Xi Dazhuang's side and said in a loud voice: "Let's talk about it first, although I only cook one lunch, there are more than 60 people who eat, and I only need three people, and the salary I can give is only six wen per person." ”

Only one meal can be cooked, which takes up to two hours, and it is also appropriate for them to give six cents.

Everyone said that it was completely possible.

Chi Xi ordered three women from the crowd who were usually diligent and nimble, and then said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged if you are not left behind, our family will need you a lot in the future." Let's go back to your own business while the hour is still early! ”

Although the people who were not selected sighed, they were not too disappointed to know that there would be a chance in the future.

The people who were left behind couldn't wait, especially Su Mingfu, he followed Xi Dazhuang for a few days, and thought that he was quite familiar with Xi Dazhuang, so he asked happily: "Xi Dongjia, when will we start working?" ”
