Chapter 146 Hiring Someone
Chapter 146 Hiring Someone
Hearing Lan Xin's words, Xie Shaowu smiled, his tanned skin revealing a row of shiny white teeth.
"Yes, I want to buy some eggs. My wife has given birth to a baby and it will be one month full soon. I need to prepare some red eggs to send to the guests."
Lan Xin raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, then said very straightforwardly, "Okay, when do you want them and how many do you want?"
I really can't tell that they are all fathers.
"Which child is this?"
"Hehe, since it's my first child, I don't need many eggs..." Xie Shaowu scratched his head and smiled foolishly, looking like a bit of a big fool.
After talking to Xie Shaowu, Lan Xin looked at Old Lady Lan who was helping to watch the fire and asked, "Are you going to have a banquet for the baby's full moon? Have you bought the vegetables? If not, I can help you."
"Hey, that's good. The food is really not ready yet."
"Is the chicken ready for the pregnant woman's confinement? After giving birth, your body is weak, so you must seize the opportunity to replenish it. You can't stop even after the confinement period. She is your wife, if you don't feel sorry for her, who will?"
The two chatted for a while, and Lan Xin sold the eggs to Xie Shaowu at a price a few cents lower than the market price, and then they agreed that he would tell Lan Xin what dishes she needed when he came next time.
After discussing these, Xie Shaowu happily moved a basket of eggs onto the tractor, then drove away with a clang.
"Lan Xin, why did you ask him for the dishes?" Old Mrs. Lan added a handful of firewood to the stove and came out to ask.
"I was thinking that they have to buy vegetables and meat in the city, so it doesn't matter who they buy from. A banquet doesn't require many dishes, and we villagers grow so many vegetables in our fields. If we give each household some, it will definitely be enough."
As for chicken, duck, fish and other meats, except pork, the others are not bad either.
Lan Xin thought about it and realized that the villagers would definitely know that their family was selling tea eggs, so it would be better to share some of the profits with them to continue to improve their favor.
After all, the Lan family now sells tea eggs and no longer values the money earned from vegetables, but that doesn’t mean other families in the village don’t value it.
Moreover, Xie Shaowu wanted a lot of chickens. If we calculate based on one chicken every two days, plus the banquet, there would be ten chickens in total, which is a considerable number.
Lan Xin planned to tell Lan Yi's family to ask Lao Yang to send ten chickens when he delivers eggs so that they can make some money.
"Okay, as long as you have an idea in your mind." Old Mrs. Lan nodded, approving of Lan Xin's way of handling the matter.
Lan Xin turned her head and looked at her, "Mom, if you help me cook tea eggs, I have to pay you. Let me see, is it okay to give you two dollars a day?"
Unexpectedly, this made the mild-mannered Old Lady Lan glare at her, "I'm helping my own daughter, and I want you to give me money!"
Lan Xin was not afraid. She looked at her and said with a smile.
"Of course. I'm not running a family business. This is my own business. I'm your boss now. You work for me, so I should pay you."
"Boss." Old Lady Lan glanced at Lan Xin with a smile on her face, her eyes and eyebrows full of smiles: "You are not afraid of being laughed at if you tell others that you are the boss and hired me to work for you."
"You make me work for nothing without paying me, and that's just making people laugh at me." Lan Xin put her arm around Old Lady Lan's shoulders, looking like a good couple.
"Just relax and take these two dollars. This job is not easy. I will definitely hire more people in the future. You have to set an example. Otherwise, what if others don't dare to come to work?"
Lan Xin's words made Old Lady Lan silent. Finally, she said, "That can't be two dollars a day. Who is as extravagant as you? What kind of work is just washing eggs and cracking eggshells? Twenty dollars a month is the most you can make."
"Mom..." Lan Xin wanted to say something, but Old Lady Lan held her arm.
"Just listen to me, you won't go wrong. We can't let the villagers' hearts be educated to accept things as they are outside." Old Mrs. Lan said meaningfully.
"And if you hire someone to do the work, you have to keep an eye on them. Don't let them steal the tea egg recipe."
Originally, Old Mrs. Lan was not happy to let Lan Xin hire anyone. After all, washing a few eggs is not that difficult, and she had to hire someone to do it. But then she thought, her daughters-in-law are selling tea eggs in the front, and cooking tea eggs in the back is the top priority.
You can't do everything yourself just to save money. If you're busy and have endless work to do, and the tea eggs aren't cooked properly, you won't be able to sell them at the front, and you'll lose a lot of money. You can't lose the big picture for the sake of a small one.
After listening to what Old Lady Lan said, Lan Xin nodded and thought to herself, what Old Lady Lan said made sense, so she should just listen to her first. After all, she knew best how to get along with the villagers.
Lan Xin and Old Lady Lan continued to cook tea eggs at home. After a while, Lan Xi also came back from the city.
Lanxi was covered in sweat and kept wiping the sweat off his face as soon as he entered the house. After being exposed to the sun for a few days, his skin had turned into a wheat-colored color.
"Mom, sister, I'm back."
Old Mrs. Lan handed him a glass of cold boiled water, and Lan Xi gulped it down with a silly smile on his face.
Lan Xin looked up at his smile with his white teeth bared. It seemed that this sold quite well in the city. Sure enough, Lan Xi immediately shared it with Lan Xin.
"Sister, I went there today and they were waiting for me. As soon as I arrived, I bought two tea eggs to try."
Lan Xi said with a smile, he felt very satisfied with the feeling of being recognized.
"They thought it was delicious and wanted me to continue selling it tomorrow."
Lan Xin looked at the pot that Lan Xi tied to the back seat of the bicycle. It was empty and it seemed that it sold well.
After hearing what he said, Lan Xin turned her head and looked at him and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to continue selling at the factory gate?"
This time, Lanxi refused decisively: "Although I feel sorry for them, I don't have much time, so I still want to sell it on Sanqing Mountain."
Although there is still about half a month before school starts, if he sells the books in the city, he can still earn enough money to pay for his repeat studies in half a month.
But he doesn't just want to earn money to pay for repeating his studies. He also needs to pay for books, tuition, and even some exercise books. If he can earn more money to buy all these, it will definitely help him with his repeating his studies.
Besides, even if he earned enough money, he could use the extra time to review at home, or do farm work like harvesting rice instead of making this trip.
Although he is naive, he is not stupid.
Lanxi scratched his head, looked at Lanxin anxiously and said, "Sister, what I mean is that we can make a lot of money in this city. Although it's not as much as Sanqing Mountain, it's still a lot. Should we find someone to sell tea eggs in the city?"
Lan Xin had said before that she wanted to do the business of wholesale tea eggs. Since it was wholesale, it certainly wasn't just wholesale to their own family.
After all, Lan Xin cooks tea eggs no matter how many pots she cooks, and if more people wholesale, Lan Xin can sell more and earn more.
The premise is that these people cannot steal their own business.
