Chapter 130: Even after making money, you can’t be idle
Just after the next day, Shen Yi started to work. Just as the butcher delivered a cart of pork, the two of them were paying the bill in the yard. Shen Dagou, Su Chunlin and others also packed up and came out.
Those who wash the meat wash the meat, those who chop the vegetables chop the vegetables, and those who make the noodles knead the noodles.
While they were working, Shen Yi secretly carried two large barrels of pork to the backyard. After a while, the two large barrels of pork turned into minced meat. Just as Chen Xiang and Ruan Xiaoyu chopped the pickles, Shen Yi began to mix the stuffing.
Everyone was busy with their own business, and no one could care about the other. When they finished processing the ingredients, they discovered that Shen Yi had already prepared a large pot of plum and vegetable stuffing and was grinding peanuts in the yard.
Although Su Chunlin wanted to ask why Shen Yi was so fast, he had no chance. As soon as he turned around, he immediately forgot about it and hurriedly lowered his head and chopped the meat frantically.
The bustle in the front yard did not disturb Su Tai who was sleeping soundly in the backyard. When she woke up, it was already dark, and she could vaguely hear the sound of working in the front yard.
She then got up and went out to take a look, only to find that everyone was too busy to pay attention to her.
"Xiaoyu, where is my father?"
Su Tai looked at Ruan Xiaoyu who was making dough cakes.
Ruan Xiaoyu smiled brightly at her, "Good morning, eldest sister! My uncle, Brother Song and his brother-in-law went out to deliver goods. They were divided into three groups. We don't know how long it will take to get back. Someone from Mr. Ma from the town just came over. We I have already given the goods to them, and now I am making them with plain fillings for the temple.”
Seeing that she had regained her previous energy, Su Tai also laughed and said, "Okay, you guys haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll make it for you now."
Ruan Xiaoyu was not polite to her this time. They had already eaten a few Guokui. To be honest, this stuff was really delicious and it really didn't stop them from being hungry. Because the food was expensive, she was too embarrassed to eat more. It's better to eat something real.
Su Tai cooked a big pot of goat's milk for everyone and steamed some steamed buns.
When the steamed buns and goat milk were eaten, Su Zhan, a young man, was so moved that he almost cried, "It's better to eat this and feel at ease!"
"Look at your potential! If you're really hungry, just eat pot helmets. How can I keep you from eating?" Su Tai scolded with a smile.
Su Zhan didn't refute, just sighed deeply.
A group of people were working and laughing, and time passed quickly.
It was almost noon when the last batch of pot helmets were sent out, and everyone could finally stop and take a breath.
Su Tai hurriedly took out the few coins she had prepared in advance, "Brothers must settle accounts clearly. You come to work for me today. It is only natural that I pay you wages. We agreed in advance that no one can refuse, otherwise I will be angry. "
Su Zhan and Su Ming looked at each other and silently swallowed back the words that came to their lips.
Because everyone worked really hard, Su Tai raised the wages to fifty cents this time, which is three hundred and fifty cents for seven people.
Su Zhan and the others felt fine with the money, but Shen Dagou and Shen Xiang were a little frightened, "Sister Su Tai, I gave you too much today."
Their ability to calculate accounts is not good, but they can still distinguish the weight of thirty coins and fifty coins.
Su Tai smiled and said, "That's right! I will give you a wage increase on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. After all, these two days have been really hard."
Only then did the two of them put the money into their arms carefully.
As soon as they left, Su Zhan couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Sister, your family hires people to work every day, and it costs hundreds of dollars a day. Can you earn back your money?" Su Tai pinched Su Zhan's face in a funny way. , "Do you think your sister can do business at a loss? Brat, you should worry more about your own affairs. You don't need to worry about my sister."
When the three of them heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't pay attention to Su Tai's teasing.
When they were about to go back, Su Tai prepared some vegetables and pot helmets for them.
After sending the person away, she immediately went to the bathroom to fill the water and let Shen Yi take a good bath.
By the time Shen Yi came out, she had already taken stock of today's income.
When Shen Yi saw her like that, he knew she was in a good mood, and he was also happy, "How much did you earn?"
Su Tai smiled happily and said: "After deducting the capital and the three hundred and fifty cash wages, we will make a net profit of 42,380 cash this time. From this point of view, we can stabilize at 37 yuan per month in the future." With an income of eight taels, Guokui alone can earn more than three hundred taels this year, which is a lot of money.”
Shen Yi nodded heavily and agreed, "Then let's work harder. Also, there are more people working now. I want to buy the two acres of wasteland next door to our house and build a big yard. Working there won’t affect you and your children.”
Su Tai was startled, "Why do you think so? Many people are jealous of the money we make now. If we keep doing yard work, I'm afraid they will be so angry that they gossip."
Shen Yi frowned, "I'm worried about this too, otherwise I would have taken action long ago."
Su Tai shook her head, "It can't be done like this. If you really want to build a yard next door, you can buy the wasteland first. Don't talk about building a house to the outside world, just say that you want to surround a yard to raise pigs and plant fruit trees. It just so happens that we have a yard behind us. If you can plant fruit trees and let the news out in advance, the villagers won’t be too surprised. You can finish the foundation when you have time and do the rest slowly, don’t be in a hurry.”
Shen Yi agreed, and immediately went back to Shen Ying to buy the wasteland next to his house. This time, he didn't say two acres, but bought ten acres of wasteland in front of and behind the house in one go.
Shen Ying was so shocked that her brain was in a daze, "Shen Yi, it's not enough for you to hire people to do the work now? Do you want to continue to hire people for help? Is it possible that farming is really so profitable?"
He felt that Shen Yi's steps were too big and he would fall down sooner or later if he kept going like this.
Shen Yi smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, I don't want to farm. After buying the wasteland, I can raise pigs or plant some fruit trees. It's also good to save more wealth while I'm young now."
Shen Ying could accept this reason, accepted his money, and settled the matter within two days.
Su Tai was a little surprised when she saw the numbers on the land deed.
At this moment, she was about to harvest the ten acres of wild rice she planted in Earth Time and Space, and earned 90,000 virtual coins, which instantly made her forget about the wasteland Shen Yi bought.
With the wasteland available, Shen Yi really couldn't bear to see it abandoned like that, so he paid villagers to help dig out river rocks and said it was for pigs and livestock.
Although everyone murmurs behind their backs, as long as there is money to be made, no one will have any objections. I wish I could have this job every day.
So Su Tai found that there were more and more river stones in the open space next to her house, and they were piled higher and higher.
Even Mrs. Xu couldn't sit still and came to ask, "What are you planning to do? Why is there no movement at all?"
Su Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Auntie, I also want to know what Shen Yi is going to do. When I asked him, he said there was no rush and he would just leave it alone. It wouldn't be a problem to leave it alone like this. How about you and your second uncle help find some people?" Come over and dig out the foundation, and I’ll ask A Yi what he thinks later.”
Mrs. Xu immediately agreed and called the working villagers over the next day. They worked together to dig two acres of wasteland next door, especially the ditch on the courtyard wall, which was particularly deep.
Shen Yi came back in the evening and saw the ditch that had been cleaned up. He immediately moved out the cement sand and gravel left behind for paving bricks at home, "Daughter-in-law, I have to go to my second aunt to tell her that I won't pick up the stones these days. Tonight I started to build the foundation so that the villagers would not have trouble explaining.”
