Since you can't grab the opportunity of Wang Xiuying, you should seize the time to establish your presence in front of Li Qiao. After all, you can sell eggs, flour, dry firewood, etc. in the village, which can be regarded as an additional way to make money.
Although I earn less, it is better than nothing.
Moreover, looking at Li Qiao's attitude, he is recruiting short-term workers now, and he will definitely recruit long-term workers in the future. If he shows up more now and leaves a good impression on Li Qiao, then Li Qiao will definitely give them priority when recruiting workers in the future. .
With this idea in mind, everyone at this time criticized Li Shu one after another.
They can easily find excuses, because this matter is unreasonable, and their words of condemnation are completely tenable.
Li Shu separated his family when Li Qiao was young. He never gave Li Qiao a piece of cornbread in these years. He always had the attitude that Li's father, Li's mother, and Li Qiao were indebted to him. Who would be willing to take care of Li Qiao regardless of what he had brought with him? Will he make a fortune together?
Li Shu became even more angry after hearing these truths: "What do you care about the matters between us brothers?!"
"What about brothers? After all, they are two families, or two families that have not interacted with each other for ten years. We are all from the same village, so it is normal for us to say a few words of fairness."
The villagers were not afraid of Li Miao and immediately retorted.
Li Shu was so angry that he trembled with anger, but he couldn't refute anything and could only repeat his point of view:
Li's father and mother were too biased towards Li Qiao, which caused him to suffer a lot. It was only natural for Li Qiao to compensate him.
His view attracted more ridicule.
This is simply shameless.
Must be strongly condemned!
It was impossible for Li Qiao to quarrel with so many people by himself, so he glared at Li Qiao fiercely and shut up.
Tao Zhu looked at the scene in front of him and looked at Li Qiao next to him with some admiration. This was equivalent to just spending a few extra coins on Wang Xiuying, and the villagers condemned Li Qiao.
Li Qiao accepted Tao Zhu's admiring look calmly, and then he waved his hand with a smile, indicating that everyone should listen to him first.
"Folks, what I just said is valid. If anyone has extra dry firewood, flour, eggs, etc., they can sell it to me at the same price as the market price."
"This saves everyone from going to town."
"However, I am in the food business after all, so the flour sold to me must be fine and clean, and Brother Zhu and I cannot grind it again with a stone mill."
"Sesame seeds cannot be mixed with pebbles, dust or the like. Brother Zhu and I are already too busy to pick out those pebbles. I hope you understand."
"Understand, understand, this is the basic requirement."
"Yes, we are not fools. We fellow countrymen should not cheat our own people."
"It's not easy for Li Qiao to do business. What he earns is hard-earned money."
Everyone agreed and agreed with Li Qiao's words.
It's human nature, if it were them, they would definitely make such a request.
"It's great that everyone can understand. From today on, everyone is welcome to come to my house to sell eggs, dry firewood and other things."
Li Qiao said again.
"No problem. I happened to have dozens of eggs saved at home. I originally planned to sell them in the town, but now I'm going to find you."
An aunt said with a smile.
"Erya is going to go up the mountain to collect dry firewood today. I have to let Erya collect more firewood."
Some people also said so.
"There is no flour at home. I have to grind some flour today. I might as well grind more."
Everyone wants to experience the experience of selling things without leaving the village.
They had never had this experience before.
"As long as the quality is good, Brother Zhu and I will buy it," Li Qiao said with a smile.
He made such a clear promise, and everyone was a little excited.
Everyone dispersed quickly. After all, it was Mai Mantian, and they couldn't stay at the entrance of the village longer.
However, these people are thinking about how to make money.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu use countless dry firewood, flour, etc. every day, and they want to seize the opportunity!
Li Qiao glanced at Wang Xiuying, who was still holding Tao Shu's collar, glared at Li Qiao several times, and walked away angrily, pissing him off.
As for Tao Shu, he was punished by Wang Xiuying and could not be a demon. At this time, seeing that the villagers not only did not hate the rich and did not inquire about Li Qiao's income, but actually became Li Qiao's "minions", he was really angry and wanted to beat people.
He spread the rumor that Li Qiao made a lot of money in order to make the villagers hate the rich, so that when he went to Li Qiao to ask for money, the villagers would stand by him and persuade Li Qiao to give him money.
Unexpectedly, before he could start crying and leaving the arranged process, Li Qiao spoke first and immediately attracted all the villagers.
His good plan was ruined just like that.
So angry!
But all he could do was rage.
He was still being held by Wang Xiuying's collar, while Tao Zhu on the side clenched his fists and stared at him eagerly.
Finally, he said a few harsh words and left cursing.
Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and led the horse to Li Qiao.
Li Qiao was very sorry: "Let's go home. You can have some food to calm down, and then go back to the county seat."
Xiao Wu waved his hand when he heard this. He had already been delayed at the entrance of the village for a while. How could he eat again? He had to go back before Wangyue Tower opened.
Seeing this, Li Qiao could only give him three egg pancakes from Tao Zhulai, and gave him two kilograms of Shaqima Twist Peach Cake Mix for him to take with him on the road.
Xiao Wu smiled happily. Regardless of whether it was egg pancakes or snacks, they were both good things, especially snacks. No matter which kind they were, he liked them very much.
Such an expensive snack would be sold at Wangyue Tower for 200 cents per catty, and two kilos would be four hundred cents, which was as much as half of his salary!
After being pulled and pulled by Tao Shu for a while, he could get two kilograms of snacks. He earned it!
Xiao Wu left happily, and then Li Qiao looked at Wang Xiuying.
He said he wanted to hire Wang Xiuying as a day laborer, so Wang Xiuying followed him and Tao Zhu home, because the farmer had finished harvesting the wheat, and all that was left was drying and warehousing.
Her job at the farmer's side today was to spread the wheat and dry it, but it was still some time before she started work, so she wanted to come over and fetch water.
Li Qiao naturally satisfied her.
Currently, he has five large tanks at home. Filling all five large tanks is a manual job. Currently, the market in Sanliu Village does not have a separate job of carrying water, so he sets the price independently.
Xiaowu's salary is sixty-five hundred cents a month, which works out to nearly twenty-two cents a day.
In fact, the wages are not too small, because wheat costs five cents per catty, and you can buy more than four catties of wheat in one day's work.
As for miscellaneous grains such as sorghum, millet, and yellow rice, they usually cost three to four cents per pound, which is even lower.
As for Wang Xiuying's wages as a long-term laborer in the village, during the wheat harvest and autumn harvest, it was thirty cash per day, and usually it was twenty cash per day.
During winter, a period of slack farming, a month is worth one hundred fen.
Therefore, based on these two wages, he tentatively set a price of six cents for the job of carrying water, but it was two cents higher than the market price, which was eight cents.
If you fill five large jars, you can get eight cents, which can be settled on the spot.
Wang Xiuying was the first to stand up and support him, and she was honest and hard-working. He wanted to give him a hand, and he also wanted to show the villagers that following him would lead to a meal!

Chapter 32 Immediate and Remarkable Effects
Wang Xiuying filled five large tanks with water and hurried away with eight cents. She still had to go to work at the banker.
On the way to the banker's house, people kept calling her because the incident at the entrance of the village had spread, and many people saw her carrying water.
"Xiuying, did you finish carrying the water so quickly?"
"Yeah." Wang Xiuying responded.
"How much does Li Qiao pay?"
"Eight coins." Wang Xiuying stretched out her right hand, and there were eight copper plates in her calloused hand.
"What?! I'll give you eight cents for carrying water for a while?!"
"Well, I have to go to the village chief's house to work, so I'm leaving first." Wang Xiuying clutched the coin tightly and trotted to the banker's house.
The villagers who found out the specific wages were extremely envious.
Five tanks of water cost eight cents, which is a great deal!
For villagers, fetching water is really not a heavy job.
And it's only five tanks full of water. Li Qiao's house is not far from the two big wells in the village. If you go quickly, you can get it done in less than half an hour.
You can earn eight cents for doing such a little work every day, which is two hundred and forty cents a month!
In the country, this is really a lot of money.
Those villagers at the entrance of the village in the early morning regretted it even more.
Those villagers who were not at the entrance of the village in the early morning only regretted their absence at that time.
Fortunately, it was not too late. Li Qiao had to buy a lot of things anyway, so they quickly picked up what they had at home.
Eggs, dry firewood, and flour are all available in almost every household, and then he went straight to Li Qiao's house.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are making snacks.
Tao Zhu felt novel while kneading the dough.
In the past, he was the only one who worked as a day laborer for others, but he had only been doing business for a few days and he actually started to hire day laborers.
Actually, eating at least seventy kilograms of snacks a day is not a big workload for him.
Compared with the work he used to do every day, this was simply easy.
However, considering Li Qiao's situation, he agreed to hire day laborers now.
