The little girl from a farm family has a big wish to make a fortune by farming and picking mushrooms

Chapter 209 Helper

Early the next morning, Zhou Lao Da and his group of four went to the town to sell jelly, while Zhou Mingshu went to the pharmacy.

"Mingshu, you're here. I just happened to have something to tell you. I don't know if you still remember the shopkeeper who came to buy soap last time. He came yesterday and wanted to order 500 yuan. He said he wanted to take it to the state capital to sell. The shop didn't have enough money, so he didn't give it to him for the time being."

Mr. Chen was also extremely anxious, but the road to Lianglin Village was really difficult to travel, so he had to wait for the girl to come.

"Five hundred dollars!"

Zhou Mingshu was shocked because there was not so much stock at home.

"Uncle Chen, did the shopkeeper say when he will come again?"

"I didn't say that. I said it would be in two days. Since you were away, and I didn't want you to lose the deal, I took the initiative to negotiate with him. I negotiated according to the same methods you used before. Here is the contract. Take a look."

The total value of 500 bars of soap is 100 taels of silver, and the deposit is 20%, which is correct.

Then Mr. Chen took out two large silver ingots and handed them to her.

"Uncle Chen, this deal depends on you. I'll tell my uncle and I'll definitely treat you to a banquet."

Mr. Chen at the side smiled, "Mingshu, you don't have to be so formal. With our relationship, why do we need to eat? There's no need to be so troublesome. You can eat the meat in the front and I'll drink the soup in the back."

Zhou Mingshu agreed with a smile, but she must repay Uncle Chen for this favor.

Another thing she had to consider was the production of soap.

Once this thing becomes popular in the state capital, it will definitely be popular.

The shopkeeper must have ordered 500 yuan to test the waters. If it sells well, I don’t know how much he will order later.

Zhou Mingshu was thinking about these things while not slacking off on the work in his hands.

Around mid-morning, she went to the jelly shop and mixed a bowl of jelly and braised meat for Mr. Chen.

This stuff is nothing compared to the soap list.

Mr. Chen accepted it without hesitation.

"Uncle, let's go home quickly. I have something to tell you."

As soon as Zhou Mingshu jumped into the car, he shouted at Mr. Zhou.

"Saya, has something happened? Why are you so anxious?" Boss Zhou was also puzzled. Sanaya has always been calm and patient in doing things. It is rare for her to see a situation like today.

"Uncle, something big has indeed happened! Our family will be busy again. I have received a soap business order. If it sells well, our family will be rich in the future."

Zhou Mingshu didn't go into too much detail, but now that he had told me about it, he would tell it again when he got home.

Boss Zhou rushed back home, and while they were eating, Zhou Mingshu briefly explained what had happened.

The family was speechless after hearing the news.

This business deal is worth one hundred taels of silver!

"Grandma, don't hesitate. Find two people to come to our house to help. There are so many chores at home that it takes too much manpower. We need to find two people to make soap."

"Okay, I'll go out and look for it this afternoon."

Mrs. Zhou hesitated for a moment and continued, "The soap business is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid the space in our house is not enough. Should we build two more rooms? This one is exposed to the wind and sun, and we can't make good products."

She was thoughtful. The occasional wind and rain in the summer had a great impact on their work.

Besides, this thing is so rare that it is not safe to leave it outside.

"Okay! If you want to build more, just build more. Two rooms are enough to store everything. Once the vegetables next door are grown, we can build a house."

It's raining at this time, which is not a good time to build a house.

It will be just right to be built next month, and there will be time to prepare the adobe bricks at home.

The meal made everyone excited, happy and nervous.

Because Zhou Mingshu said that the soap made at home before was not enough to meet the orders, they needed to hurry up and make it.

Just after lunch, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er went to the slaughterhouse to buy pork.

No matter how many pounds it is, I’ll take as much as I can.

When I got home I started cleaning these things.

Zhou Mingshu also saw the helper that Old Lady Zhou found. They were the aunt from the village and the second aunt from the same family.

Normally, they have a good relationship with Old Mrs. Zhou. Now that the family is busy, it is reasonable to ask them to come and help.

"I've told you in advance that it's not for nothing when I ask you to come and help. I'm going to pay you, ten cents a day, five cents a half-day. If you don't accept, I won't ask you to come over next time when my family is busy."

Old Mrs. Zhou made it very clear that even if my aunt and second aunt didn't want it, they had to accept it.

They are sisters-in-law or relatives in the same family. If they ask for money for doing some work, their relatives and neighbors will laugh at them. If they don't continue, their feelings will be hurt!

"If you really want to give it to us, then go ahead, but we have to do more work for you, otherwise we won't feel comfortable and won't be able to sleep when we go home."

"Okay, it's settled. Your knives are too blunt. I'll ask the boss to sharpen them for you. You can use these two from my house first."

The two old ladies sat at the table and began to cut the fat. In addition to the pile on the table, there was a large pile on the cart.

At their age, they have never seen so much fat meat. They are really enlightened by seeing it here today.

The scene in the yard is not limited to this. There are people roasting pig hair, filtering things, mortaring things, chopping wood... There are people doing all kinds of things, and no one is idle.

Even the two youngest children in the Zhou family know how to help their grandmother get things and do some simple chores.

Otherwise, why would they say that Mrs. Zhou is good at raising children?

The three sons he raised are filial and obedient, and he gets along well with his three daughters-in-law.

The grandchildren are so well-behaved. I have never seen such a nice family.

Thinking of their own family, the two old ladies couldn't help but feel choked up. Just taking care of the little grandson was annoying enough.

With a sharp knife, the two old ladies became more skillful at their work.

After a while, a whole basin was cut.

Old Mrs. Zhou was boiling oil in the kitchen, while Mrs. Feng was in charge of lighting the fire.

Both stoves were burning, and the temperature in the room was high enough that the two men were sweating profusely.

"Hongyu, fill the stove with firewood and go to the yard to work for a while. It's too hot in the house."

"I know mom, I'll be out in a moment."

Feng adjusted the firewood at the bottom of the pot and went to the backyard with her basket.

There are so many things to do at home, so I just do whatever I think of.

The chicken and duck eggs at home have not been collected yet, so collect them while there is time.

Zhou Mingshu was making lye water, while Zhou Mingqi was collecting snail shells beside him.

After these things were almost done, they counted the soaps on the side because there was too little stock at home!

We can’t stop making soap anymore. If the supply can’t keep up with the demand, how can we make money?!

"Second sister, let's go help make the mold."

After packing up the things in the house, the two went to the yard to help polish the mold.
