Chapter 341 Return to the Village to Share the Profits from the Tea Stall
The day after the exam, the three Wang brothers went to report to the government office as usual, while Su He took Liu Bai back to the village.
She wanted to go back to pay the money. Since the tea stall opened, she had not paid anything except the monthly fixed salary.
The two of them arrived home at noon. After having lunch, Su He took the account book to check and asked Su Yuwen and Yanzhi to reconcile with each person respectively.
We sorted it out in an afternoon, and then when the tea stall closed, everyone went to the meeting hall together.
"My fellow tribesmen, our goal today is only one, and that is to distribute money!"
This first sentence was greeted with warm applause. People are happiest when they get their salary.
"Okay, let's start by distributing the fried chicken. Ma Yuzhen, 260 taels."
Amid everyone's envious gazes, Ma received his share of the commission.
"Then we have the barbecue. Li Si, 308 taels."
Li Si's face turned red with excitement. He was actually taller than Ma Yuzhen. He was the best evidence for anyone who said that Su He only took care of her own family.
Su He smiled and congratulated Li Si, "Grandpa Li, now you don't have to worry about not having a skill to rely on."
Li Si was in tears. He held the silver in one hand and wiped his tears with the other.
"No, I don't have to worry about anything. Lotus, I'll give you half of this money. You taught me all this."
Su He quickly refused, "No need, Grandpa Li, I have some myself, just keep it, it's what you worked hard for."
After finally persuading Li Si to leave, Su He quickly announced the next one.
Half an hour later, most people in the room had received their share of silver.
"Okay, next we will divide the collective profits of our tea stall, and everyone who participated will get one. Each person will get 2 taels of silver. I don't have that much change, so I will divide it among the families one by one."
Su He looked at the account book and quickly called out names to divide the money. Half an hour later, all the money had been divided.
"We still have 400 taels of money left from purchasing goods at our tea stall, so we won't share this money. The next time the tea stall shares money will be three months from now. If anyone has any ideas for new food during this period, they can sign up. Everyone has a chance."
After Su He finished speaking, he asked everyone to go home. It was already late and it was so dark outside that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Everyone carried oil lamps and went home together.
Su He also sorted out the account book and prepared to go home while chatting and laughing with Yanzhi.
Uncle He and Boss He had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Sister Lotus."
Su He smiled, turned around and asked.
"Xinghua, what's wrong? Don't you have an oil lamp?"
Xinghua bit her lip and saw that Suhe and Yanzhi were waiting for her to reply. She had so much to say that she couldn't say it out loud.
"Uncle He, please send Xinghua back."
Su He shouted to the outside of the door and left with Yanzhi.
Yanzhi received more than one hundred taels of silver today and was very happy. But now her smile disappeared because of the apricot blossoms.
She followed Su He into the room and said angrily.
"Look at her, she looks like someone owes her something. Look, she's going to come after you again. She's so shy and it's annoying to watch."
Su He smiled indifferently and advised while washing her face.
"She forgot to bring the oil lamp and was embarrassed to tell him. Uncle He has gone to escort her. I don't know anything else. Cousin, don't be angry. Go back to your room and hide your silver."
After washing her face, Su He felt a little hungry, but she didn't ask Aunt He to bring her food. She decided to eat in the space later.
The watermelons in the field are not yet ripe, but those in the space are already ripe. It is best to cut them in half and eat them directly with a spoon.
"Miss, there is still hot water in the pot, do you want more?"
"Pour me some, I'll soak my feet. Cousin, you should go back and wash up as well. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
Yanzhi thought about it and it was indeed too late today.
"Then I'll leave first. Lotus, Miaomiao and the other two will sleep in Master Liu's room."
"okay, I get it."
Yanzhi went to the kitchen to get some hot water after she finished speaking. Although she lived in Su He's house, she did everything by herself and never asked Aunt He and others to do anything. She knew in her heart that these were servants from her sister's house, not hers.
After soaking her feet, Su He took the basin out and poured out the water, then closed and locked the door quickly.
Okay, now the space is hers.
Su He rolled around on the kang for a few rounds, then took out half a watermelon from the space, put it on the kang table, and ate it slowly, spoonful by spoonful. Her entertainment book was the account book for the past three months.
The weather turned cold so suddenly that Su He wanted to prepare food for the winter in advance.
The best drink is definitely hot milk tea, and she wants to buy two more cows.
We also need to buy at least 20 sheep and hire two people to raise them.
Mutton soup is most suitable in winter.
Rabbit meat is also good. If you buy ten pairs of rabbits, they can multiply into hundreds in just a few months.
Braised, spicy, double pepper, shredded rabbit.
Su He copied down the recipes one by one, and would find someone to make them after the rabbits were raised.
Of course, hot pot is the best in winter. She has seen similar small pots in Beijing. But there are too few vegetables in winter. Bean sprouts can be grown, as well as cabbage and radish. There are too few green vegetables. If it doesn't work, you can try hydroponic vegetables.
She can first grow seedlings in space, then find an empty room, use a kang to control the room temperature of the entire room, and then pick some easy-to-grow vegetables to try.
If successful, selling fresh small vegetables in the winter will be very profitable.
Su He filled up the notebook bit by bit.
The tea stall needs to be closed down before we can start researching the products for the cosmetics shop.
There are lotions made from magnolia flowers, loose powder made from Liangmi, freckle cream made from more than a dozen Chinese medicines, rouge made from red and blue flowers, lip balm made from roses, peach blossom loose powder that nourishes the skin, etc.
Wang Qingqing and her husband's family of five have been making all the ancient recipes given by Su He over the past few months. Two of the precious ancient recipes require the use of cochineal, but the cost is too high, so they have to be put aside for the time being.
Wang Qingqing will send each finished product to Su He as soon as it is completed. A lot of bottles and jars have piled up in the past few months.
Su He decided to try out the makeup effect tomorrow.
The store has not been found yet, but Su He is ready to take the initiative to find someone to recommend it. The first choice is Zhang Mama. After Zhang Mama tries it, she can let Chen use it, and then sell it to the wives of the wealthy families in the south.
However, before that, these products need to be used personally for a month before they can be sold to the outside world.
Su He wrote down the general plan in her notebook, and that was the end of the cosmetics shop.
It has been a long time since I went to Zhao's house to visit Chen and Zhang. Su He thought of the ripe strawberries and blueberries in the backyard. I could try some tomorrow. If they taste good, I could take two baskets with me when I leave the day after tomorrow. It would be a good opportunity to go to Zhao's house to keep in touch with them.
Another major event recently is that several pregnant women in the village are about to give birth.
Juhua lay in bed for three months to protect the fetus, and it was difficult for her to keep the fetus.
According to the normal order, the first of the four pregnant women in the village is Wen Niang, who is due in one month, followed by Zhou, and the third is Juhua, but the old doctor said that Juhua is likely to give birth prematurely and may be born before Zhou. The last is Ping Niang, who is about to give birth in the first month of the year.
