175 Hiring Someone to Help with Chores
Of course, Aunt Wang was tempted
Yue’er charged Ruyi Restaurant 3 wen per bowl of cold cake, and she didn’t even give them any brown sugar syrup.
Ruyi Restaurant’s demand was high. They sold 500 bowls of cold cakes a day.
To them, Yue’er charged a low price.
Although it was to sell more cold cakes, she was helping them more.
“Let Erya help me. If it’s for the entire day, I’ll pay her 100 wen a day. If business gets better, she would be even busier. 80 wen was a little too low.”
Aunt Wang’s eyes moved, and her heart was burning.
“That is too much.”
“Not at all. If business is good, we’ll be busy the entire day.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Aunt Wang.
“But this matter is not urgent. We still have to assess the business in the village. You can think about it for a few more days.”
Only then did Aunt Wang relax a little.
“Yes. There are two pigs to take care of at home, I have to think of something.”
Lin Xiaoyue was happy to hear that.
That implied that she was in.
“Hehe, that’s easy. Just pay someone to get the pig feed,” Lin Xiaoyue said, suddenly remembering something.
“Speaking of which, we need someone to provide us with the cow feed. We also need firewood. I won’t have much time to do that in the future.”
Li Xiao was the one who took care of that.
If he worked outside, he wouldn’t have so much time to do these things.
They would need a lot of firewood to cook the cold cakes.
“Aunt Wang,do you know anyone who can help us do that?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Aunt Wang.
“There are. Many people in the village who don’t have land are willing to take on the job.”
“Erya and I have done it before, and so did Aunt Jiang.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“How much does it cost?”
“5 wen for a basket of pig feed. It’s enough to feed my two pigs for a day and a half. As for the ox..”
“Cow grass is easier to cut than pig grass. A basket of cow grass probably costs less than 5 wen.”
“Thick firewood is more expensive, which costs 10 wen per bundle. The thinner ones cost 5 to 6 wen per bundle.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
It wasn’t expensive. A basket of cow grass and a bundle of thin firewood would only cost less than 12 wen a day. It could save them a lot of trouble.
“Great! Then I’ll ask my mother to ask Aunt Jiang in the afternoon.”
Aunt Wang nodded.
“I’ll talk to the family about the plan. If they agree, I’ll also ask Aunt Jiang to help me.”
Although it was a little painful to hire someone, it was only for two months. Thinking about it this way, it was nothing.
If they could make more money in the next two months, when the two piglets grow up and are sold next year, they should be able to raise enough money for Shuanzi’s wedding.
Thinking of this, Aunt Wang’s heart was at ease.
Looking at Lin Xiaoyue, her heart was filled with gratitude.
This girl really cared about her family. She had to treat this girl better in the future.
As the two of them conversed, they left the main road and returned to Daishi Village.
After entering the village, Aunt Wang said that she had to go back to see Erya first.
Lin Xiaoyue stuffed 4 meat buns into her hands before letting her go and rode away.
