Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 190 Business is booming

The masked man snorted coldly and walked away.

That day, the Li family rented another stall and set up a barbecue stall.

As the aroma of barbecue spread, it immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.

"What are you selling? Why does it smell so good?"

Li Erlang brought out a plate that had been prepared long ago, with small pieces of barbecue on it for tasting.

"This is barbecue. It's Li Ji's new dish. It's called barbecue. Everyone can try one piece for free."

Nowadays, Li Ji’s braised seafood, lotus crab and small seafood in sauce are very famous.

So, the man took a piece of grilled squid and put it in his mouth without hesitation.

"good to eat."

After taking a bite, the man said directly: "Give me two of these."

Li's seafood sells very well, and if you come too late you usually can't buy it, so he hurried to get it first.

Li Erlang shouted to the chef Li Dalang, "Two grilled squids."

Then he asked the customer: "Do you want it spicy?"

"Let one go, and don't let the other go."

Eat the spicy ones yourself, and take the non-spicy ones back home to add to your family’s dishes.

At this time, other people who had tasted the grilled squid also began to place orders, and in a short while the grilled squid was sold out.

Li Erlang started to promote other seafood, and soon, a lot of people gathered in front of the barbecue stall.

Li Yuer said to Lai Zi, "You collect the money here, I will go to Mu Ren Zhang to order some things."

Lai Zi was stunned for a moment and said, "How about I attract customers and let Erlang collect the money?"

After all, he is an outsider, and it is not appropriate for him to accept money.

Li Yuer smiled and said, "It's okay, I trust you."

After observing for a period of time, Li Yuer was relatively trusting of Li Laosan's brothers, and she knew roughly the gross profit of barbecue.

Li Yuer came to Zhangji Wood Shop and first inspected the whale accessories that she had ordered before. After paying the balance, she took out the drawings of the folding tables and chairs.

"Uncle Zhang, I want to order some furniture. Can you see if these can be made?"

Carpenter Zhang looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he thought it was wonderful. "Who designed this?"

This little girl always brings him some new things, including the crutches he made before. Now, the crutches he made have been sold to other places.

Li Yuer responded with a smile: "My relative."

Mu Ren Zhang also felt that his question was a bit abrupt, so he said, "Then can you ask him if he sells the blueprint?"

Li Yuer said, "Then how much are you willing to offer? I'll go back and ask."

"Ten taels of silver per copy, buy it out."

This price may seem low, but it is also reasonable because folding tables and chairs can be imitated as long as you see the real thing, and it does not require much technical content.

Li Yuer had already agreed in her heart, but she said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask and get back to you as soon as possible."

Li Yuer plans to use these folding tables and chairs to set up a stall.

Barbecue is the most enjoyable at a food stall, and it won’t work without tables and chairs.

Li Laosan was very busy, so they were divided into two groups, one responsible for surveillance and the other for the dock projects.

Li Laosan led the sparrow to keep watch, while Shitou and Datou were responsible for the work at the dock.

After coming out of Zhangji Wood Trading Company, Li Yuer went shopping, mainly for grain and other food. In addition to food for her family, she also wanted to send some food to the Zhao family on the island.

Seeing that she bought a lot, the owner of the grain shop asked his staff to help deliver the goods to the stall.

Li Yuer walked around and all the seafood at the two stalls were sold out.

Li Dalang, Li Erlang and Lai Zi were so busy that they were sweating all over.

After seeing off the last guest, several people slumped down on their stools and didn't want to get up.

Although it is not a physical job, it requires a high degree of mental concentration and is still very energy-consuming.

When Li Yuer came back, he saw people who were exhausted like three salted fish.

I decided in my heart that I had to recruit workers as soon as possible, but who should I recruit?

She started with the people close to her. Her father's leg had not yet fully recovered, her grandfather was old and might not have the strength to keep up, but her uncle was just right.

I guess one uncle alone is not enough. Uncle Cai is suitable, but unfortunately he is the shopkeeper of a grocery store.

Then we can only recruit people from Rabbit Island.

After much thought, Li Yuer decided to bring his uncle over to take over for a while, otherwise his eldest brother and the others would be exhausted to death. When his third uncle and the others come back, there will be a lot more manpower.

Based on what Cai Chengping had said about the laws of the Cangyuan Dynasty, Li Yuer estimated in his mind that it would take half a month to get from Haining to Shengjing. It would take at least half a month for the court to receive the memorial and complete the review. To send the news back, the round trip would take one or two months.

It is true that the carriages are slow, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the county magistrate is the local emperor.

After resting, several people began to move the heavy barbecue stove to the cart. Seeing their laborious and dangerous appearance, Li Yuer said: "Why don't we buy a bullock cart?"

Why buy an ox cart instead of a donkey cart or a mule cart? The Li family has dozens of acres of land, which is wasteland. Oxen can not only pull carts but also plow the land, making them the most suitable choice.

Li Erlang said happily: "We should have bought a cow a long time ago."

Li Yu'er thought for a moment and said, "Why not buy three, one for each family, and then ask them for the money when we get home."

In the end, Lai Zi was left behind to look after things, while the others went to the dental clinic together.

Fortunately, we went back to the dental shop, which was the one where Li Yuer rented a house and bought sheep.

Maybe because they were dressed better and looked whiter and fatter, the treatment they received this time was completely different from before. Many dental workers took the initiative to come forward to receive them with a very warm attitude.

Li Yuer specifically asked for Xiao Jiang.

The old man who received them rolled his eyes and said, "Unfortunately, sir, Xiao Jiang is out for something and is not here."

Li Yuer saw a flash of cunning in the other person's eyes and knew that he was not telling the truth, so she deliberately said loudly: "We are Xiao Jiang's relatives. Since he is not here, we will come next time."

When the broker heard Li Yuer say that they were not here to buy anything, his expression immediately changed.

"If you want to find someone, go to the backyard. Why are you in the front hall? You're interrupting our business. What a trouble!"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away, no longer paying any attention to them.

Li Yuer saw an aunt cleaning the place and asked her, "Aunt, is Xiao Jiang here?"

She saw what happened just now clearly, but she was just a cleaner, so she didn't dare to say anything.

She had been bullied by the old man before, and she was happy to go against him, so she said, "Yes, I'm chopping wood in the backyard."

"firewood?"

Li Yuer and the others looked at each other, puzzled. Why did the broker chop wood?

The aunt whispered, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else that I said that."

"No, Auntie, just tell the truth."

"Xiao Jiang was chosen by the boss's daughter, and the shopkeeper's son also likes the young lady, so he is deliberately making things difficult for him. The shopkeeper threatened that if Xiao Jiang fails to complete the task this month, he will be driven away."

Li Yuer nodded, looking as if she understood, and said, "Thank you, auntie. We will never let it out."

The aunt didn't dare to talk much with them. She shook her head and sighed and continued to work.
