“l went to the county to look at a shop yesterday.” Xue Sifu continued to smile.
“Although the shop is quite small, it has a lot of traction there. Our shop will mainly sell dried rice noodles in the county, so it won’t have much of an impact. ”
“l don’t know anything about business, so I’ll listen to whatever you say and help you the best I can.” Xue Yifu smiled honestly. “Erfu has also found people, but he hasn’t found enough yet. He said that it would be more appropriate to let Lizheng help look for them in the surrounding villages within ten miles. Father and Mother wanted to find twenty people. Since you want to find more, how about hiring thirty?”
“Forty.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“That many?!” Xue Yifu was shocked.
“That’s all for now. There aren’t many dried rice noodles in this shop, and there aren’t many in stock at home. If we open another shop in the county, there will be many people in the county. Our family will be too busy trying to meet the demand. At that time, we’d be able to transfer the people we hire to the shops in town or the county to help! There’s always nothing wrong with hiring more people. If the workshop is too small and there are too many people inside, we can build a few more rooms next to our workshop. If the workshop can’t dry that many rice noodles, we can also hire people to pick the rice noodles to the village and put them on bamboo poles in the village or rice fields to dry.”
“Eh, okay, I will tell them about your plans when we go back.”
“Alright, you can leave now. I’ll see you out.”
“There’s no need. You just focus on reading. I’ll just take Xue Yan and Jiang Yue down myself.” As he spoke, Xue Yifu bent down and held the two children’s hands in each hand. He then brought the two children downstairs.
However, Xue Sifu still smiled and followed behind them, wanting to send them off.
Xue Yifu laughed foolishly, clearly very happy about the action.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan turned around and glanced at Xue Sifu. Xue Sifu immediately made faces at them and then pounced on Sifu’s broad back, hanging on his back like a monkey.
Yifu was even happier by the sudden move. He smiled foolishly as he held their hands and continued to walk down the stairs slowly. At the same time, he happily carried Xue Sifu down the stairs.
It was as if they were all children.
Yifu was very energetic. He carried Xue Sifu on his back like that and was not panting at all.
When they reached downstairs, Xue Sifu stopped making trouble for Yifu.
They went to the back of the carriage together.
The carriage was parked at the back door. It would be in the way if it was parked in front.
After Jiang Yue and Xue Yan boarded the carriage and sat down, Xue Yifu rushed the carriage home.
When they got home, they had their lunch.
Xue Erfu and Yu Hongyan took Xue Shi to He Jinshan’s house for dinner. Since they were not at home, Xue Yifu could only inform Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia about Xue Sifu’s intentions.
He wanted to hire 40 people! Although Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia were shocked, they were also very happy that their son planned on expanding the family business.
They also heard that Mister Zhang would help to ask Gu Jin to become Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s martial arts master. They would probably get a letter tomorrow, so Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia were naturally even happier with the news.
When Xue Erfu returned from He Jinshan’s house after dinner, the family discussed for a while more before Xue Erfu and Xue Dafu went to look for Lizheng.
He asked Lizheng to help find people to work in the villages.
At the same time, she told Lizheng that their family wanted the workers to keep the rice noodle process a secret. If someone leaked the method of making rice noodles, they would not let that person continue to work in the workshop.
Although the process of making rice noodles was very simple and someone else would figure it out sooner or later, it was a different matter if someone else figured it out because the people hired in the workshop told them..
