"Uncle Li Zheng, how can I thank you for this..."
Cheng Wanwan had a smile on his face and thought for a short while.
She continued, "How about this, you will share 10% of the profit from the ice powder sold by Uncle Li Zheng..."
In her previous company, employees in the marketing customer service department had very high commissions. If they negotiated a business, they would get a commission of 10% to 20%. What Uncle Li Zheng is doing now is similar to marketing customer service. , she was absolutely unambiguous about the commission she should give.
Li Zheng listened and waved his hands repeatedly: "Ms. Dashan, this is too unreasonable. I'm just helping to spread the word. I don't have the nerve to ask for 10% of your profit. It's not easy for you to run a small business..."
At this point, Li Zheng got stuck.
Although he didn't know how much Dashan Niang earned, but from the inns and restaurants he wrote down on paper, he needed a thousand bowls of ice powder a day at two cents a bowl, which meant he earned twenty taels of silver. After excluding the costs, Dashan Niang was half You should be able to make money with two taels of silver. If this continues, Dashan Niang will buy the wasteland at the bottom of the mountain sooner or later.
But it was Dashan Niang's job to make money, and he could not ask for a share of it without conscience.
Li Zheng said: "The fifty taels of silver rewarded by the county magistrate this time is all thanks to Dashan Niang. Otherwise, our village would not have a penny of public funds and would not be good at anything. This time it is enough." .”
We were going to get along with each other for a long time in the future, so Cheng Wanwan no longer struggled with this matter. She said, "I need to provide thousands of bowls of ice powder tomorrow. I don't have enough manpower here. I wonder if I can borrow two from Uncle Li Zheng." Personally, Dad Tiezhu and Dad Tieshuan, just spare more than an hour in the afternoon."
Tiezhu's father is Zhao Anjiang, and Tieshuan's father is Zhao Anhe, the eldest and second sons of Li Zheng.
Li Zheng responded readily.
Cheng Wanwan went next door to find Wang Yongcheng, the loach's father. As soon as she opened her mouth, Aunt Wang came down on her man's behalf without even asking how much the salary was.
So far, there are five people washing ice powder, and each person has a wooden basin in front of him, which cannot be placed in the main room.
Furthermore, filtering ice powder also requires space operation and a large number of tubs, barrels and other containers.
Cheng Wanwan asked Zhao Sidan to borrow it from the old house, but it was still not enough, so he had to borrow it from Aunt Wang's house. There were barrels and basins all over the yard.
"Da Shan, can you see if you can enclose a space in the backyard, surround it with a fence, and cover it with thatch." Cheng Wanwan said while thinking, "Build a stove here specifically for boiling water and rubbing it. Ice powder…”
Zhao Dashan nodded: "I will do it now."
When he was clearing the weeds in the backyard, Zhao Ergou and Zhao Sanniu went to the mountain to cut branches, and Zhao Sidan went to the field to find reed poles. The four brothers divided the labor and cooperated, and slowly came up with a prototype, which was temporarily without a roof. It's okay, just block the sight of passers-by.
Before they were done, Zhao Anjiang and others came over one after another.
In the enclosed open space in the backyard, there were five wooden basins with ice powder in them.
Cheng Wanwan said: "It costs five cents to wash half a catty of ice powder. The upper limit for a day is one and a half catties. Everyone does what they can. If you don't understand anything, just ask Dawang."
Zhao Youyin nodded: "Sister-in-law, leave this place to me. You can go and do other things."
Cheng Wanwan knew that he could do things reliably, so she stopped keeping an eye on him.
Judging from the current supply, the stone flower seeds at home will be bottomed out in a few days, and she will have to continue to collect more to prepare for emergencies.
She walked to the old house. Only Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Wen were there. She said quickly: "Mother Dawang, if someone comes to deliver lantern seeds again, just say it. From now on, a pound of seeds will cost you twelve cents." , the more the better.”
It used to cost ten cents per catty, but now it has increased by two cents.
Old Mrs. Zhao was immediately dissatisfied: "No one wants the lanterns all over the mountain. They are all worthless things. Why do you have to pay twelve cents? Your money was brought in by the strong wind, right?"
Cheng Wanwan raised his head and said, "Mom, why don't you think about it carefully? Since I can afford this money, it means I still have to make money. Can I allow myself to suffer a loss?"
Mrs. Zhao said angrily: "If you can make more, why don't you make more? Why should you give it to others..."
"Then why don't you help me, mother?" Cheng Wanwan curled his lips, "I'm short of someone to boil water here. Mother comes here to boil water every day, and the salary is two cents, how about that?"
If you let the old lady go over and see how busy she is all day long, you will probably never call her a prodigal again.
"It's only two cents to boil water. You really don't regard money as money!" Mrs. Zhao originally wanted to refuse without asking for money, but she didn't know what she thought of, so she agreed, "Then it's agreed, two cents a day, I understand. Come over here."
At this time, a familiar woman ran in at the door and said in a hurry: "Dashan Niang, someone is coming from your mother's family, please go back and take a look!"
Cheng Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "My mother's family?"
"Yes, Mrs. Cheng is here with your niece. They are at the door. Go back quickly."
Cheng Wanwan's eyes darkened, turned around and left.
Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't even do the work she was doing, so she got up and wanted to follow her.
Wenshi said: "My eldest sister-in-law was close to the Cheng family before, but I don't know why she became estranged during this time. But no matter what, the Cheng family is my eldest sister-in-law's natal family. My eldest sister-in-law's mother-in-law is here. What kind of relationship do the mother and daughter have? I have to say, it’s not appropriate for Mom to go there at this time.”
Old Mrs. Zhao patted her thigh and said, "Life is finally getting a little better. The blood-sucking insects from the Cheng family are here again. I think this little money that was finally earned will end up in the hands of the family again, and it will be a sin... 2 Wang, hurry up and go over with your aunt to see what happened and let us know what happened."
Zhao Erwang quickly followed him.
Cheng Wanwan walked to the door of his house, and sure enough he saw Old Mrs. Cheng, accompanied by her elder brother's little girl named Cheng Xiaocao.
Mrs. Cheng stood at the door of the yard, afraid to go in for a while.
She came here not long ago. At that time, there was nothing in the yard, but now, there is everything. There are a lot of chickens and ducks, and they also have two dogs. Country dogs are easy to raise, but this year they are raising dogs. Raising two of them is enough to show that the family has enough food.
Originally, Mrs. Cheng came here to ask for one tael of silver for the repair fee.
But seeing the prosperous scene in front of her, she secretly decided in her heart that one tael of silver was enough, at least two taels of silver, but she would say five taels when she opened her mouth, and then lowered it to two taels, so she was not afraid that Cheng Wanwan would not agree.
Zhao Dashan heard the movement at the door and walked over from the backyard. When he saw Mrs. Cheng's face, all his movements froze.
Old Mrs. Cheng forced out a smile and said, "Da Shan, why don't you know your grandma? Why don't you invite grandma and your cousin to come in and sit down? Pour two glasses of water out and add some sugar. Your cousin likes sweet drinks."
