Chapter 124: Talking about the distribution of stalls
Gu Qingqing wiped her hands on her apron, pointed to the small bench in the yard and said, "What's so presumptuous about this? Sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."
The three women were about the same age. Zhao Xi's wife was named Wu Fang. She was a bit stout with a neat bun on her head.
Zhao Feng’s wife was from Jiangnan, her name was Yang Xing’er. Gu Qingqing didn’t know where in Jiangnan she was from, but she was petite.
As for Zhao Zhong's wife Zhao Qin, from what I've gotten to know her these past few days, she seems to be a very decent person, with two dimples on her face, and she looks quite pleasant.
After everyone sat down, the three women looked around, and this time it was Zhao Feng's wife Yang Xing'er who spoke, and her voice was soft and sticky.
"It's like this. We just arrived and are not familiar with this place. We are all restless. We have been thinking about what we can do these days. Last time, we ate the pig intestines you made and thought they were delicious. We know that Meihua is someone you hired. So we came to ask if we can also get things from you and help you sell them."
"Don't worry, we are not going to Taohua Town. It is not far from Jiangping Town in Huacheng County. It will take more than two hours to go back and forth if we walk quickly. We know a little about that place, and we want to try it." Zhao Xi's wife Wu Fang was afraid that Gu Qingqing would misunderstand, so she hurried to explain.
When Gu Qingqing heard this, her eyes lit up. She knew the profit of pig intestines very well. If she could have the opportunity to share the profits, she would naturally be eager to do so.
However, if these people want to go to Jiangping Town, it would not be appropriate for her to hire them.
Firstly, she had no idea how they would sell the goods and had no way of interfering. Secondly, they were different from Luo Meihua. After all, Luo Meihua was from the same village and had Dahua following her, so she could hire them.
Of course, when she asked Dahua to go with them, it was not because she had any intention of supervising them. She just wanted Dahua to keep Luo Meihua company and have someone to talk to on the way.
As for what the three of them were going to do...
Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "I have no problem with your intentions, but there are three things I want to tell you. First, you have to find the source of pig offal. It's not that there is none in Taohua Town, but there are only a few meat sellers in the market, and not much pig offal is produced in a day."
When the three saw Gu Qingqing agreed, they immediately showed their joy. Wu Fang said excitedly, "We know where pork is sold in Jiangping Town. If we set up a stall there, we can buy pork from there. What's the second thing you mentioned?" Wu Fang asked.
"The second thing is that if you go to Jiangping Town to set up a stall, I won't hire you."
"Won't hire us?" Wu Fang followed Gu Qingqing's words and then looked at Yang Xing'er and Zhao Qin, then turned her gaze to Gu Qingqing.
Gu Qingqing nodded, "Yes, I won't hire you. I can sell it to you at a lower price after I make it. As for whether you can sell it there or how much you sell it for per spoon, it has nothing to do with me. Of course, if you can't sell it, it has nothing to do with me either. Of course, if you can sell it well and at a high price, you will earn more."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she saw that the three of them were still looking at each other in bewilderment. She thought they didn't understand, so she had to add, "Maybe you understand what I said?"
The three women had often traveled extensively with their men, so they naturally understood what Gu Qingqing meant.
I was just so excited that I didn't know what to say.
Yang Xing'er nodded hastily, "We understand. But I don't know what price you are going to give us."
"I can't answer you right now. I'll have to wait for the child's father to come back to discuss it. He went to the town to order tiles today. After all, you won't work for nothing." Gu Qingqing said.
"What is the third thing?" Yang Xing'er asked.
Gu Qingqing smiled at the three of them and said, "The third thing is that when you set up your stall over there, you need to put up a sign that says 'Wen's Luzhu'. Don't worry about the sign, I'll do it."
After hearing this, the three of them all showed joy on their faces. They didn't care whether there was a cover or not. What they cared about was whether they could make money. So when they heard that the third thing was this, they nodded without thinking.
Seeing that he had almost finished talking, Gu Qingqing asked back, "Will the child's father be worried if you guys run so far? You must tell your family first."
Wu Fang laughed out loud, "Qingqing, don't worry. Even though we are women, we have traveled all over the country with them. It's not far for us to go to Jiangping Town."
"In that case, I won't worry about you any more. I'll tell you when I get the letter."
"Okay, then we'll wait for your news. Is there anything else to do at home? The three of us are free, so we can help you."
Gu Qingqing waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm busy here. You just arrived, so you probably don't have much to eat and drink. You might as well take this opportunity to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables and pick up some firewood. The weather is getting colder day by day."
"Yesterday, I took the kids to the mountains to play a lot. Well, Zhao Qin and I will go back to do other things. Let Yang Xing'er help you today." Wu Fang said.
This is what they have been doing in the past few days. They know that if they stay here, Gu Qingqing will have to give them money. They want to make money, but they can't compete with the men in their family to make money from Wen Wuyan's family.
Seeing that they insisted, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to nod.
At noon, Erhua ran back, found Gu Qingqing and shouted, "Mom, Grandpa Niu just told me that the kiln we built is dry, you can use it if you want."
Gu Qingqing was delighted, "Can it be used? Did your Grandpa Niu just tell you that?"
Grandpa Niu is none other than Niu Zhanghe.
"Well, I was playing over there just now, and Grandpa Niu told me." Erhua pointed towards the kiln and nodded affirmatively.
Gu Qingqing paused while kneading the dough. She actually wanted to go over and burn it right away. After all, the limestone was ready and was just waiting to be dried in the kiln before work could begin.
But looking at Yuzhu's mother Niu Li who came to help today, and then looking at Yang Xing'er, she could only bear it.
"Okay, I got it. I'll go take a look when I'm free in the afternoon. You go and have fun." Gu Qingqing said to Erhua.
Niu Li could see her expression clearly, and said to her, "Qingqing, if you want to go, go ahead. I'll help you with this. It's just making steamed buns. We all know how to do this."
"It's ok, auntie. I'll go there this afternoon. I've seen that kiln before. If it really needs to be fired, it won't be ready in a short time. Cooking is more important. We can't wait until noon when they all get off work. We won't be able to provide enough food here."
Niu Li smiled and said, "If they can't keep up, then so be it. What? Do they dare to rebel? At worst, we can just let them work a little longer before eating."
"That's right. We are all acquaintances. It doesn't matter whether it's sooner or later. We can always get them to eat." Yang Xing'er also chimed in.
"That won't do. We can't just ignore it just because uncle and Zhao Dong are acquaintances. Besides, there are several carpenters we have hired." Gu Qingqing said hurriedly.
