"I am a woman, and I can't find any profitable job. Seeing that Madam Xia's cold pot skewers are suitable for me to make, and the taste is good, the business will probably be good in the future, so I came to see Madam Xia. Ask.”
“If Madam Xia thinks it’s possible, I can pay more interest. If you feel embarrassed, just pretend that I’ve never been here...”
Her family is having a hard time now.
But no matter how difficult it is, it is her family’s own business, and others have no obligation to help.
If Xia Mingyue is willing to help, she will be grateful, but if not, that's okay.
"This matter..."
Xia Mingyue paused, "Ms. Qiao, let me think about it for a while, and I will give you a reply in two days."
"Sure, thank you, Xia. Madam."
Qiao stopped disturbing and stood up to leave.
After he left, Xia Mingyue and Lu went to inquire about the situation of Qiao's family.
By the middle of the afternoon on the second day, I basically found out everything.
It is indeed as she said. Qiao's husband Liu Shanhuai was originally the leader of a squadron in the army. This time in the battle of Cheung Chau Mansion, his arm was cut off in half by the enemy, and his foot was stepped on. He was hit by the enemy's caltrops and was seriously injured.
Originally, such an injury would not lead to lameness, but this time there were so many injured in the army that the military doctors were overwhelmed and the medicinal materials could not keep up. Therefore, the treatment was delayed, and Liu Shanhuai's wound ulcerated. In the end, his leg had to be amputated to save his life.
Today, Liu Shanhuai has almost completely lost his labor force.
Liu Shanhuai and Qiao had two sons and one daughter. The oldest son was only eight years old, and the youngest daughter was only four years old. They both had to open their mouths to eat.
This life has naturally become very difficult.
Xia Mingyue and Lu were discussing Qiao's family situation, and they sighed more and more.
“When I went out to inquire today, I saw several households with white cloth hanging on the door, and the pharmacy was also full of people coming and going.” Lu said, “I guess the situation at Mrs. Qiao’s home is the same, and there are Many. "
In this world, it is not easy to make a living. Many families rely on people who work in the military to make ends meet. Once something goes wrong, it is easy to be starved of food.
The imperial court intended to subsidize and issue silver coins, but there were so many people that the silver coins were limited.
Especially for those who were seriously injured and disabled and returned home, the money issued by the court was not enough to pay for the decoctions and medicines they needed.
“No wonder more and more people have asked about joining Chuan Chuan Xiang in the past two days.” Xia Mingyue pursed her lips.
After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Xia Mingyue raised her head and said, "In that case, let's change the way of joining the Cold Pot Chuanchuan franchise."
"What my younger siblings mean is... …”
“One or two carts are needed for cold pot skewers. Silver, this has to be paid to the carpenter. This fee is unavoidable and must be paid. However, the three taels of silver given to Xia Ji allows those who join the franchise to pay three hundred a month starting from the third month after joining. The money has been paid for ten months in total, so it is considered paid off.”
Xia Mingyue said, "However, such discounts are only available to widows whose husbands died on the battlefield, or families where someone in the family returned home injured on the battlefield, causing difficulty in making a living at home."
"It's feasible." Lu He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "This can be regarded as giving these people an alternative way of living."
And after these people join Xia Ji, they can also increase Xia Ji's performance and performance to a certain extent. income.
The best of both worlds.
Helping others within one's ability has always been something Xia Mingyue agrees with. Seeing that this idea was approved by Mr. Lu, he added, "After Leng Guo Chuan Chuan starts franchising, we will be even busier here. Just making fish balls requires finding someone who is serious and careful. We need to make the recruitment public, just like the cold pot Chuanchuan franchise, people in these two situations will be hired first.”
"Okay." Lu nodded again.
“There are a lot of people in Jinqiu County and the surrounding areas joining the army. I’m afraid that many people will be implicated this time. Sister Xia’s Cold Pot Chuanchuan stall is limited and there are not many people to recruit workers. I’m afraid When the time comes, there will be more people and more monks than rice..."
Jiang Zhuguo was a little worried, "If those people are resentful towards Sister Xia, what should they do?"
Such a person? , she has seen it before.
"If this is the case, it means that it is right not to use this person." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "If you are resentful because of this matter, you will also be resentful about other things. And you are always greedy and insufficient. If you are not satisfied, you will become resentful. It feels like the whole world can't help him."
"If such a person happens to be unused, that's it. For my luck and fortune, I have to secretly pay homage to the City God and thank him for his care."
Jiang Zhuguo thought about it and felt that what Xia Mingyue said was very reasonable, "Sister Xia. That’s right.”
If a person has ill intentions towards you, no matter how good you are, he will still have ill intentions.
This matter cannot be stopped just because someone has malicious intentions.
It's like, no matter how filial and sensible she is...
Don't think about the past anymore!
Sister Xia is about to release the Cold Pot Chuan Chuan franchise. She must do things well for Sister Xia and share her worries.
Jiang Zhuguo threw away all the thoughts that had nothing to do with business in his head, and began to help Xia Mingyue plan the next franchise matters with Lu.
In the morning of the second day, Xia Mingyue went to the academy first, looking for Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang, and asked them to help write more cold pot Chuanchuan franchise letters so that they could be signed with the franchisees. .
As a reward, Xia Mingyue brought many fish balls.
Cold pot skewered fish balls, fragrant and hot fish ball soup served in earthen pots, and fried fish balls wrapped in oil paper.
Each one is fragrant, making two people salivate.
But Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang, who were coveted, waved their hands to Xia Mingyue, "We appreciate Madam Xia's kindness, but now the mountain chief and the master are very strict, and food from outside must not be allowed into the county. "Study."
And because the two of them had often organized to buy food from outside, they were already regarded as key objects of observation by the mountain chief and the master, and they no longer dared to do anything.
The September exams are around the corner, so it’s best not to make any more mistakes.
What a pity for such fragrant fish balls...
Xia Mingyue saw that the two of them said this, so she just put away all the food and said to keep it for their vacation. Go eat again.
"After the exam is over and I leave school in this county, I must live in Madam Xia's stall and eat for three days in a row to have a good time."
To be sent away Zhang Mingyi said this after leaving Xia Mingyue.
"Promise!" Fan Pingyang curled his lips and gave him a look of disdain, "I am different from you. I am going to see if my family plans to start a small business and see if I can join Madam Xia's food stall."
< br>In this way, you can eat as much as you want and when you want!
He understands the principle of fish and fishing! (End of this chapter)
