Chapter 119 This is a good idea
the next day.
The men of the Lu family built the cowshed and laid hay.
Qiao Ye let the two cows in. From now on, this would be their temporary home.
Both of them are wild buffaloes, so they are naturally not used to being tied with ropes.
Qiao Ye didn't tie them up, but asked Boss Lu and others to build a fence, and then close it after they went in.
There is a latch next to it, and if two cows are inserted into it, they cannot get out.
The two cows were not very adaptable at first.
But there is no need to guard against sudden appearance of wild beasts at night, no need to follow the herd to find food and water, and one has to be on guard against attacks by wild beasts at all times.
When they were hungry, they could have fresh grass cut by the two-legged beasts and some vegetable stems to feed them. When they were thirsty, they could drink water from the trough that had been added with spiritual water.
This day is comfortable and pleasant.
The two cows liked it very much, so they didn’t want to leave.
Qiao Ye changed the medicine for Daniu twice and found that the wound was almost healed.
Sure enough, the spiritual water has some healing effects on animals.
Today, almost everyone in the village knows that Qiao Ye brought back two bison to raise.
Some people couldn't help but want to come in and see the cows.
Qiao Ye was a little speechless, but thought that the more he didn't want them to see it, the more they wanted to see it.
So the men of the Lu family were asked to open a big door in the backyard.
This way, villagers don’t have to pass through the front yard when they want to come in to see the cows.
Let them see enough, and they won’t be curious anymore.
And after the ox cart is built, it will be convenient to enter and exit through the back door.
Afterwards, waves of villagers came and went, and left and came again.
Everyone was very curious about the two bison. After seeing them, many older people kept praising them for being two great bulls.
It’s a pity that they can’t raise it.
I am very envious of the Lu family.
The family should have married Qiao Ye, this lucky girl.
Another day passed, and fewer and fewer people came to see the cows.
The two cows also settled down with peace of mind because they knew they would live with these two-legged beasts in the future.
In addition, Qiao Ye had taught them a lot in the past two days, so they no longer showed their wild nature towards the people of the Lu family.
However, although I don't attack or take too much precautions, I don't pay any attention to it.
Apart from Qiao Ye, he would only pay attention to Lu Shao.
I have to say that cows are also very good at judging people’s behavior.
The cowshed is ready.
After dinner that day, Qiao Ye called the Lu family to the yard for a meeting.
"Starting tomorrow, our family will build a workshop in the vacant lot at the entrance of the village."
She looked at Boss Lu and the others and said, "Uncle, if you know anyone in the village who can repair houses, go and ask them to help."
"I give money and lunch every day."
Lu Lao Da and his brothers were all supportive and excited about the plan to build a workshop at home.
"No problem. We all know who in the village is capable and not lazy. We will go find them tomorrow."
"They will definitely be happy to do it if they can earn some money after finishing their farm work. And they also get a meal, which is very generous."
Qiao Ye nodded, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you."
“Once the workshop is built, we will recruit people from the village to make mosquito coils.”
Hearing this, everyone in the Lu family was stunned.
I couldn't help but ask hurriedly: "Wu Lang's wife, we need to recruit people to make mosquito coils. What should we do if they all learn it?"
This mosquito coil is a good thing for the Lu family to make money, and the recipe cannot be learned by others.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we’ll just hire someone to dry and crush the mugwort.”
"People at home have to burn pine charcoal themselves and then mix the ingredients needed to make mosquito coils."
"Then have the hired people make plates of mosquito coils, dry them in the sun, and tie them together."
"The burning of pine charcoal and the mixing of mosquito coils should be done at home, and then taken to the workshop after they are ready."
"This way the recipe won't be leaked."
"We're hiring people to make the stents, so you don't have to waste your time on this."
"It can also reduce the burden on my family members so they don't have to be so tired."
"Although we spend some money hiring people to do the work, we can sell more mosquito coils, so overall we make more money."
“You also need to learn how to use people instead of doing everything yourself. Otherwise, how much can you accomplish?”
"I still have to go to the fields to work."
“Besides, hiring villagers to do the work will also make everyone closer to our Lu family, which will be good for our family’s reputation.”
Recently, more and more businessmen come to buy mosquito coils in large quantities.
People in the county who had bought mosquito coils before had given them rave reviews and told their friends and family about it.
Therefore, the Lu family’s mosquito coils are now in short supply.
Qiao Ye asked them to quickly build the workshop and then recruit workers to make mosquito coils.
Ship more goods and make more money in the next two or three months.
After hearing her say this, the Lu family members felt relieved.
If it were in the past, I would definitely think that hiring people is unnecessary and what a waste!
But now I feel that everything Wulang's wife says is right, and I will definitely not go wrong if I listen to her.
This was also Qiao Ye's deliberate influence to make the Lu family trust her more and more.
She then said to Lu Dalang and the others, "Once the workshop at home is repaired and starts shipping, you won't have to go to the county town to sell anymore."
Boss Lu and the others were stunned for a moment, "Ah, why?"
They also like to go to the county town to sell mosquito coils, especially when the mosquito coils they bring every day can be sold out.
Recently, because many merchants are buying mosquito coils, there are not enough mosquito coils to sell. It feels very satisfying to see those people scrambling for them.
Qiao Ye said: "From now on, just let the merchants come to the village to buy."
"From now on, the two workshops will be left to you to look after. Sell when someone comes to buy, and keep an eye on the hired personnel."
"You can also do something else and not waste your abilities."
Hearing the last sentence, Lu Dalang and the others were very happy.
It seems that they are also very useful. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Qiao Ye asked: "Has it become increasingly difficult to sell candles in the past two days?"
Boss Lu nodded, "Yes, just like you said, someone has made pine oil candles, and the price is cheaper than ours."
"We lowered our prices, and they continued to lower their prices."
"Today there are two more stalls selling pine oil candles, and they are even cheaper."
“I heard that someone is selling it at another market.”
"So almost no one buys candles here."
He sighed, "There are still hundreds left to sell. I was going to tell you about that."
Qiao Ye knew this would happen, "Then we won't have to sell candles starting tomorrow."
"Keep the remaining hundreds of pens at home. The price will surely get lower and lower every day."
Lu Dalang asked reluctantly: "Even if the price drops to two or three cents per stick, we can still make money. Do we really want to give up?"
Qiao Ye laughed, "It's only two or three cents a piece, why waste that time doing it?"
"If I had the time to find and boil pine oil, I don't know how many mosquito coils I could make."
"Let others make this little money."
Lu Dalang thought about it and it made sense that making mosquito coils would be more cost-effective.
Besides, other people don’t know how to make mosquito coils, so they won’t steal the business. “Okay, then I won’t sell it.”
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said to Lu Shao, "Tomorrow you talk to the village chief and clan leader. We will make the method of making pine oil candles public so that anyone in the village who wants to learn can learn it."
"They want to make it for themselves, or sell it to make a little money."
They were the ones who came up with it first, and then others copied it.
They don't sell it themselves, but they can do favors for others in the village.
Anyway, there are more and more people selling pine oil candles, so even if the villagers are not there, there will be others.
Then why don’t they earn this favor in the village and continue to build a good reputation.
It can also allow the villagers to share in the benefits and stop focusing on their business.
Lu Shao understood immediately and said, "This is a good idea."
If they could twist most of the people in the village into a rope and make them side with them, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages.
