The only way was to make all the cold cakes in the morning.
“My plan is to let Erya stay at home tomorrow morning to make cold cakes and get someone to help her.”
“Although two people wouldn’t be able to work that fast, there’s plenty of time in the morning. It shouldn’t be a problem to make 4.0 buckets of cold cakes before Shuanzi and Laishun come back.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought of something and said, “don’t worry about not having enough wooden buckets at home. Mr. Jin will send 70 buckets tomorrow morning. It’ll be enough then.”
“Alright, I’ll check them tomorrow,” Liu Shi replied.
“Tomorrow’s arrangement shouldn’t be a problem. After Aunt Wang left, I need someone to come with me to set up the stall in the market,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
Liu Shi nodded.
“Then hire someone to help you.”
“Since it’s just half a day, why don’t you ask Aunt Jiang’s eldest daughter, Lamei? That child is diligent!”
“Alright, then please ask her. If they’re willing to help, they can do odd jobs at home for 70 wen a day. If they come with me to set up a stall, it’ll be 40 wen for half a day,” Lin Xiaoyue said.
The pay was lower than Wang Erya and Aunt Wang’s.
In addition to her job as a shop assistant, Aunt Wang was also the store manager. She would receive a monthly salary in the future. Her salary was the highest.
After that was Wang Erya. She would pay Wang Erya 100 wen a day.
She had taught Wang Erya how to make cold cakes. In the future, Wang Erya would be the “master chef”, so her salary would naturally be higher than that of a helper.
When the eatery pened, she was prepared to give Wang Erya all the work of making cold cakes at home.
Then, she would buy more buckets and arrange for the night’s cold cakes to be made during the day. This would make use of Wang Erya and the helpers’ time more efficiently.
“Alright, I’ll go ask now!” Liu Shi immediately said.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the sky.
“Wait, get Xiaozhi to accompany you! No matter what they say, come back quickly!”
“Sure!” Liu Shi replied with a smile and looked at Lin Xiaozhi who was not far away.
She called out to her son and left with him.
Lin Xiaoyue asked Xiao Qing to man the cold cake stall in the courtyard and asked Li Xiao to light a fire for her.
After soaking the rice for later, she prepared dinner.
She had to prepare 40 pots of cold cakes all at once. She would be busy tonight.
Fortunately, Li Xiao was here. She did not have to worry about grinding the rice and sending the cold cakes out.
Lin Xiaoyue had just finished cooking two dishes when Liu Shi came back.
She had a happy look on her face and was carrying a basket in her hand.
When she got closer, Lin Xiaoyue noticed that there were peaches inside.
“Aunt Jiang has agreed to come over tomorrow to help. Lamei is also willing to help set up the stall with you in the future!”
“Aunt Jiang insisted that we take these. She said that her peaches were ripe, so Uncle Jiang went to harvest a lot of them!” Liu Shi walked over to Lin Xiaoyue and showed the basket to her daughter.
Lin Xiaoyue saw that the peaches were big and juicy. They looked delicious.
“Where’s Xiaozhi?” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked behind Liu Shi.
Her brother would definitely like it.
“He ran away with two big ones to look for Qing’er.” Liu Shi smiled.
“You two try it too. Aunt Jiang said it’s good.” As she spoke, Liu Shi chose the biggest one from the basket and handed it to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue took it with a smile. “Thank you, mom! I’ll eat later!”
Then, she put the peach aside..
