Chapter 156 Don’t forget to bring money
As they were talking, the document had been delivered. Li Mingxia read it carefully several times to make sure there were no problems, then signed his name.
"Then starting the day after tomorrow I will go to Miss Li's house to pick up the goods as we agreed?" Xiao Tianyue said with a smile.
"Just don't forget to bring the money." Seeing that the matter had been settled, Li Mingxia did not delay and prepared to take his elder brother home.
Perhaps because Xiao Tianyue was in a good mood, he sent Li Mingxia out. "These two food boxes are a small gift from me. Take them back and add some dishes to your parents, brothers and sisters. According to this situation, I'm afraid we will have a lot of interactions in the future."
They were just two food boxes, which meant nothing to Xiao Tianyue. Li Mingxia didn't hesitate and accepted them after thanking him.
When they returned home, the children had already fallen asleep, so Zhang and Li Sanlang sat in the hall waiting for Li Mingxia and Li Zhengpin to come back.
"How was it? Did you have a smooth journey?" Zhang heard the sound of the door and hurried out to greet them. She felt relieved to see her daughter arrived home safely. She and Li Sanlang took the food boxes on each side, and walked into the house while talking to Li Mingxia.
"Everything went smoothly. Mom, go to the village and hire five more people tomorrow. I have signed a document with them and they need to supply one thousand kilograms a day." Li Mingxia was counting the things in his hands. Fortunately, there was space and enough walnuts to buy without worrying about them spoiling. Otherwise, things would have been delayed.
"One thousand kilograms! How much money can we save in a day?" Zhang became excited upon hearing this number and asked immediately.
"There are almost ten taels of silver left, and this is just for one family. When spring comes, we'll build all the houses, and then each family will have ten taels of silver. What if a few more families come?" Li Mingxia was very confident in her things. Xiao Tianyue was not the only one who had a discerning eye for gems. As long as she could ensure the quality and quantity, she could expect to receive a large sum of money after spring.
"As for hiring people, mother, you need to be more careful. You can't hire those who are cunning and cunning. You must hire people who are honest and conscientious, and they must be clean and efficient. We are in the food business, so we can't be careless." Li Mingxia instructed Zhang one by one, "Also, these two food boxes contain food from Yaoxianlou, you can divide them up."
Li Mingxia now also tacitly agreed to deliver meals to the old house. Fearing that Zhang would feel embarrassed, he took the initiative to say it.
"Go wash up and go to bed. You don't have to worry about these things. Just leave them to me." Zhang felt distressed when she saw that her daughter had to run back and forth so late, and still had to worry about these little things after coming back.
Li Mingxia was indeed a little sleepy, so he agreed and went back to sleep. When he woke up the next day, Zhang had already found someone to work in the workshop.
Li Mingxia was startled and immediately got up, dressed, and washed up before going to the workshop without having time to eat. Although Li Mingyu was there, she was still a little worried.
"Sister Xia is here?"
"Our little boss is here!"
"What do you want, young master? Hahahahaha."
Everyone called him "little boss" in a joking manner, and there was no intention to tease him, so Li Mingxia did not feel uncomfortable. Seeing that the atmosphere in the workshop was very good, he knew that nothing must have gone wrong, so he felt relieved and responded to a few words with a smile before going to the small house.
Seeing Li Mingyu processing a batch of walnut kernels that were delivered, he said, "Luckily, you are here, otherwise I would not be able to eat in peace."
Every time Li Mingyu heard Li Mingxia say this, he would smile sweetly and work more seriously.
Li Mingxia went to the kitchen to get a steamed bun and a bowl of bone soup. He ate them while standing without sitting down, then hurried back to the small house and started working again.
Of the five new people, three were helping to process walnuts, pine nuts and the like in the first room, while the remaining two were helping to dry them. As for the last step, it was the responsibility of Li Mingxia and Li Mingyu.
"It must be a bit tiring for the two of us to be responsible for the last step, but there is no other way. My brother and mother are busy, and I can't find anyone suitable. This is the only way for the time being. But Mingyu, your salary is still nine cents on the surface, but I will give you an extra ten cents a day in private. Keep it well." Li Mingxia brought up this matter with Li Mingyu when there was no one else in the room. Although she knew that this girl was not doing it for money and benefits, she couldn't treat the little girl badly because of this matter, right?
"Sister Mingxia, I really am not——"
Seeing that Li Mingyu was so flustered that she couldn't speak, Li Mingxia quickly stepped forward and held her hand, "Mingyu, don't worry. Don't I know what kind of person you are? Don't be anxious, just listen to me."
"Just like what I said to your father the other day, you will eventually get married. Can you still count on your mother for your dowry? Or our grandmother? You have money in your hands, that's the confidence, understand?"
"Don't refuse. This is what I, as your sister, plan for you. Besides, your job now is not easy. You have to accompany me from morning to night every day. This is what you deserve. If you feel uneasy, you can help me do this. That will be right for me and your third aunt."
In the end, Li Mingyu couldn't persuade Li Mingxia and agreed to it. She was thinking about Li Mingxia's kindness in her heart, so she naturally worked more seriously.
After the workers received their wages and left in the evening, Li Mingxia and his family started to get busy.
"Do you think these are enough to weigh a thousand kilograms? I feel a little unsure about this," Zhang said to Li Mingxia.
"I don't know either. Anyway, the agreed delivery time is tomorrow. If it's not enough today, we'll deliver it tomorrow." Li Mingxia had originally thought about delivering the goods himself today and taking the children for a walk around the town. If it's not enough, he would have to wait for Xiao Tianyue's people to pick up the goods tomorrow.
"I think it should be enough, about right." Li Sanlang and Li Zhengpin estimated and then started weighing.
Li Sanlang worked frequently, and he said that it should be almost done. Li Mingxia and Zhang were relieved.
"These dried fruits can be kept for more than half a month. We are not worried about having too much, but we are afraid of not having enough." Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said.
This was also what Li Mingxia was thinking, so even though there was stock yesterday, Li Mingxia was not in a hurry to send it to Xiao Tianyue.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried. This is the truth.
