Chapter 221 Why is 5 Lang's wife so smart?
The merchants who had placed orders for the goods were all smiling happily.
Lu Sanlang was specifically responsible for shipment, and he wholesaled all the bamboo products in stock to these people according to the orders.
These people left with the last batch of mosquito coils they had purchased and rushed to other places to sell them.
Those who didn’t buy bamboo products can either ship mosquito coils to sell first, or place an order and wait a few days.
Many people heard the news and rushed to the Lu family workshop.
Because the order quantity was quite large, Qiao Ye asked Lu Laosi to increase the distribution of odd jobs.
I had stockpiled a lot of goods before, but recently I have sold fewer bamboo strips and screws for odd jobs.
As a result, after hearing the news, many people from the county town and other villages rushed to take odd jobs.
Qiao Ye saw that the Lu family workshop was very popular with many people coming and going.
Some people were asking for water, some were eating dry food, and some were asking if the workshop could sell them some food.
She discovered a problem: there are actually many business opportunities in the coming and going of people.
So at dinner time.
She said to the Lu family, "There are a lot of people coming and going outside the workshop now. If we set up a few food stalls, business should be good."
"Are you interested?"
She added: "Which family sets up a stall, keep the money they earn."
This can also train the next few families, allowing them to save some pocket money and live better.
Boss Lu and his brothers didn't have any ideas.
Now the eldest brother Lu is in charge of the carpentry work in the workshop, and the second and third brothers Lu are in charge of the cultivation of medicinal herbs in the barren mountains.
Qiao Ye asked Ji Songbai to help buy buffaloes and high-quality sheep. After they were delivered, the two of them would be responsible for the breeding.
Lu Laosi was responsible for the miscellaneous matters in the workshop.
The brothers are all very busy and have no time to do anything else.
Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang also have a lot of things to do.
Qiao Ye planned to let Silang go to guard the shop in the county town, while Liulang, Qilang and Balang were sent to school.
The men were too busy to handle the situation, but the women started to have some ideas.
Especially Mrs. Lu, she is the best cook and she loves to cook.
Now, apart from cooking for the family and the workers in the workshop with her sisters-in-law, she is busy with odd jobs, so she has time to set up a stall.
But she would definitely not be able to handle it alone.
So after thinking about it, I asked, "How about we sisters-in-law give it a try?"
Although there are sometimes conflicts between the sisters-in-law, they are all hardworking people. Now the family is harmonious and it is fine if they can make money together.
Mrs. Lu and the other two said, "That's great. We don't have much to do recently. Why don't we try it together?"
"My third sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good, if she sells food, the business will be good."
Of course, they must help too.
Seeing that they agreed, Mrs. Lu looked at Qiao Ye and said, "Wu Lang's wife, what do you think?"
Qiao Ye's original intention was to have a few people set up a snack stand. "I think it's great."
“You don’t have to get fancy, just cook a few big pots of food for lunch and the afternoon, then sell them together.”
"For example, how much is one meat dish and one vegetable dish, or one meat dish and two vegetables?"
"Or maybe they think it's too much trouble, so they just cook one dish a few buckets of rice every day, and add the dish on top of the rice."
"For example, pork with preserved vegetables and braised chicken, etc., how much is a portion? There should be a lot of people eating them."
"My family and the people in the workshop can also enjoy it, so you don't have to make it separately."
It is more convenient to sell fast food.
Mrs. Lu nodded, "Okay, let's discuss how to sell it."
She thought for a moment and asked again, "Can we make and sell all the dishes you taught us to cook?"
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Of course."
It's good to enrich everyone's diet.
"By the way, starting tomorrow you will set up a big pot at the door of the workshop and boil hot water with thatch roots."
"Whether you are here to buy things, do odd jobs, pass by, or are a villager, anyone who wants to drink hot water can go and get it themselves."
Today she found that many business people would ask for water from workshops.
Now that the weather is getting colder and will get colder, I will boil a few pots of thatch hot water for everyone to drink for free every day.
It not only brings convenience to everyone, but also benefits the reputation of their workshop.
Mrs. Lu and the others nodded, "Okay!"
Qiao Ye added: "There are too few snack stalls in our family. We will go to the village chief's house to talk about it. If anyone in the village wants to set up a stall, they can come and do it."
“Each store just needs to sell different food.”
"Our village will definitely become more and more lively by then."
The Lu family all agreed with this, as long as they didn't sell the same things.
So after dinner, Qiao Ye asked Lu Shao to go to the village chief's house.
At the same time, he asked Dalang to call the clan leader over.
The clan leader and the village chief were extremely happy when they heard about Qiao Ye's purpose.
"There are indeed a lot of people coming and going in front of your workshop. It feels like a small market."
"If we sell food or something, business will probably be good."
"There happens to be a piece of vacant wasteland in the village opposite the workshop, which can be used to set up stalls for everyone."
"The village is bustling now and everyone can make money, it's great!"
There is no need to go to the town or county to sell them, you can just sell them in the open space at the entrance of the village. I believe the villagers will be happy about it.
The villagers no longer have to go to the town to buy the eggs they have stored and the vegetables they have grown. They can just put them at the entrance of the village.
There are many people who come to do odd jobs, and they might take some away if they see it.
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "Actually, opening an inn wouldn't be a bad idea."
“Our family’s workshop will continue to wholesale bamboo products.”
“In two months, there will be several new products that are not available elsewhere, which will attract more merchants to the village.”
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's tiring to travel back and forth waiting for shipments."
"If an inn is opened at the entrance of the village, the price will be cheaper than that in the county town, and many business people will be willing to stay there."
She hopes that the village will develop better and better and everyone can become rich together.
The clan leader and the village chief couldn't help but be moved, "This is a good idea."
Qiao Ye emphasized, "By the way, if you're selling food, each store shouldn't be the same, so there won't be any major conflicts due to competition."
“It would be best if the clan leader and village chief can do a count at that time.”
The two village chiefs nodded, "No problem, leave it to us."
The village chief looked at Qiao Ye with gratitude and said, "Wu Lang's wife, I thank you on behalf of the whole village."
The clan leader also said: "The Lu family members are also very grateful to you."
Wulang's wife is so kind and always thinks of the villagers.
We will call a meeting for the whole village soon and emphasize to the villagers and clansmen that they must remember the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Ye.
If anyone dares to do anything to let down Qiao Ye and his wife in the future, they will be the first to not forgive them.
Then the village chief asked his son to notify every household and hold a meeting at the entrance of the village.
After everyone arrived, the village chief asked Qiao Ye to speak to everyone.
Qiao Ye expressed his thoughts.
Sure enough, the villagers were very happy and excited.
"How come Wulang's wife is so smart? We never thought of setting up a stall to make money."
"Haha, if you have thought of all this, then you are a lucky star."
"Wu Lang's wife is not only the lucky star of the Lu family, but also the lucky star of our village. She brings prosperity to everyone."
"Wulang's wife is kindhearted. Good people will be rewarded. Wulang will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future."
"Wulang has been accepted as a student by a great scholar. He will definitely become an official in the future."
The villagers kept praising him, and their praises came from the bottom of their hearts.
For example, Qiao Ye is kind-hearted and honest, and she firmly believes that she is a lucky star.
The weather is starting to get colder, and there is less and less work to do in the fields.
In the past, after the autumn harvest, everyone would start to worry about having no work in the winter and how to save money.
This year, no one is too worried. After all, they can raise pigs, sheep, and bees, and they can also do odd jobs at the Lu family workshop.
Some families have to stay at home in winter and cannot afford to make cotton clothes.
Ever since he started working in the Lu family workshop or taking odd jobs, he started telling others that he wanted to save money to buy cotton coats and trousers for everyone in his family.
Now Wulang's wife has also thought of setting up a stall.
There is no need to go to the town, just go to the village entrance, which has also given many families in the village the idea.
When I make some money, I will buy new cotton-padded jackets for my family this winter, and we can have a happy and abundant New Year.
The lives of the villagers have changed a lot because of Qiao Ye.
We are grateful to her from the bottom of our hearts.
Some families who have a good relationship with the Lu family also took the initiative to surround Qiao Ye.
Ask her to help come up with ideas on what to sell.
