If you delay for one more day, you will make less money for one day, so you must speed up.
Therefore, this afternoon, the villagers of Sanliu Village were quite busy.
Once you enter the workshop, you cannot come out at will. The candidate must be agreed upon.
Li Qiao was also very busy here, and he made sweet potato starch himself.
He had already guessed this situation, so the sweet potato starch he made last time weighed more than fifty kilograms.
But tomorrow he will go to Wangyue Tower with sweet potato vermicelli and jelly to sell them, so he needs to make more starch to avoid being unable to refill.
While they were busy, Liu Cui and Tao Tao came unexpectedly.
The mother and son had a very good attitude, and they apologized to Li Qiao and Tao Zhu for the last time they yelled at Li Qiao's house.
This time in the sweet potato vermicelli workshop, both Li Shu and Li Dao could work, but her family could not.
So the mother and son bowed their heads for money and came here to apologize to Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.
Li Qiao didn't argue with her family about the corn before, and her family could also supply Wangyuelou, so Liu Cui thought that Li Qiao was no longer angry with her family.
But who knew that Li Qiao would get stuck in the sweet potato vermicelli workshop!
Compared with the high wages in the workshop, corn is nothing. Even if all the corn grown at home this year is sold, it will only be worth a month's wages in the workshop!
Facing Liu Cui and Tao Tao's attempts to please and apologize, Li Qiao looked calm. He didn't care about the quarrel between mother and son last time, but he did care that Tao Tao had bullied Tao Zhu.
Therefore, if you want to enter a sweet potato vermicelli workshop, there is absolutely no chance this year.
As for the future, it depends on his mood.
Liu Cui and Tao Tao returned without success. They wanted to beg for a little longer, but now the whole village was staring at Li Qiao's house. When they came, several villagers saw it and followed them.
The villagers didn't want them to disturb Li Qiao anymore, so they had no choice but to leave.
After Liu Cui and Tao Tao left, Li Qiao looked at Tao Zhu: "Brother Zhu, this is what I think. Wait until next year to see if this family has changed."
"If it is changed, they can be allowed into the workshop, but they must take care of the pottery trees."
Tao Shu, this big trouble, is now taken care of by Mrs. Tao and Lai Dongmei, but Mrs. Tao is old, and Lai Dongmei doesn't seem to be able to protect Tao Shu for the rest of her life, so he has to find someone to keep an eye on Tao Shu.
"Okay, you make the decision." Tao Zhu had no objection to this.
It's a good idea to let the Tao family keep an eye on the Tao family.
Zhuang Fengshou was very efficient in his work. Overnight, not only the candidates for the workshop were finalized, but the location of the workshop was also decided, in the woods where Tao Zhu reclaimed the wasteland.
It's close to a river, so it's easy to get water, and there are no people but trees. If you want to build a house, you can just cut down the trees.
The house doesn't need to be built very well, just use trees as much as possible. When the time comes, put a layer of mud on the outside and make do with it.
The house has started to be built, and the tools have also started to be made. Clean baskets and cloths are needed for starch drying, and wooden frames are needed for drying vermicelli.
So, Li Qiao went to the county seat the next day, not only to sell vermicelli and jelly to Wangyue Tower, but also to buy related utensils.
Li Qiao went to Wangyue Tower first. He borrowed the kitchen of Wangyue Tower and cooked four dishes on the spot.
Fried jelly, ants climbing the tree, hot and sour noodles.
There is also a stew.
The stew made by Li Qiao tastes very good. It contains cabbage, tofu, and of course, a small amount of vermicelli.
This kind of stew is relatively affordable and suitable for ordinary people.
Wangyuelou not only deals with the business of rich people, but also the business of ordinary people. Ordinary people can definitely afford such a stew.
Hot and sour noodles use vermicelli as the main ingredient. If you want to be full, you have to start with at least two servings. Most people can't afford it.
But most of the stews are ordinary dishes. With corn tortillas, ordinary people can be full in one bowl.
Shopkeeper Wang's reaction to these four dishes was that they were amazing. Each dish was better than the last. He loved every dish to death!
He looked at Li Qiao as if looking at the God of Wealth: "Xiao Li, you have enriched Wangyuelou's menu a lot."
In addition to these four dishes, many more dishes appeared in his mind.
After all, he runs a restaurant. When he sees the ingredients, he can come up with several ways to make them without using his brain.
"Mutual benefit." Li Qiao said with a smile, "However, our village can make hundreds of kilograms of vermicelli every day, and Wangyuelou cannot make hundreds of kilograms of vermicelli dishes, so I hope Wangyuelou can sell dried vermicelli."
"Isn't there someone from Fucheng coming over? You can sell it to Fucheng."
"Of course, you can also sell it to local people."
Li Qiao must find a market for the vermicelli, so if Wangyuelou does not sell dried vermicelli, he will ask the villagers to set up a stall in the county town.
By then, it will definitely affect Wangyue Tower’s business.
When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he immediately said: "This is natural. The vermicelli made must be sold and cannot be thrown into your hands."
"Just put it in Wangyue Tower, and buy as many Wangyue Towers as there are."
At worst, he would send the dried vermicelli to Fucheng to sell. Anyway, he couldn't let the vermicelli flow into the hands of other people, such as Zuixianju.
He wanted to rely on vermicelli to double the business of Wangyue Tower.
Business at Wangyue Tower has been booming recently, and he has already hired an extra wave of people. From the looks of it, he will have to hire another wave of people.
After negotiating with shopkeeper Wang about the sales of vermicelli, Li Qiao didn't stay any longer. He went to buy related tools and then drove the ox cart back to the village.
When we arrived in the village, the simple house for the workshop had already been built.
Zhuang Fengshou also sent his own sweet potatoes.
The banker is responsible for all the preliminary investment in this workshop, so this batch of vermicelli is made from the banker's sweet potatoes.
Li Qiao sent over the needed tools, and the workshop started working immediately.
As a technician, Li Qiao guided everyone on site.
When it comes to food, the most important thing is not the taste, but hygiene.
This sweet potato vermicelli is his signature, so he has very high requirements for hygiene and must wrap his hair with a cloth to prevent it from falling in.
Hands must also be washed, especially between fingernails, so there should be no stains.
…
After picking a lot of trouble, it was already evening when the work really started.
But everyone was very excited, and no one complained. Li Qiao had given him the technology and secured the sales. Now it’s up to them.
They have to work hard, the more vermicelli they make, the more money they make!

This plot can be considered finished.
Chapter 62 Still Sweet Potatoes Jiangzhi County
After the third snow fell, it was the twelfth lunar month.
Early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright. Li Qiao, Tao Zhu, Li Dashan and Li Chuntao were eating breakfast. Wang Xiaoya drove the ox cart over.
Today Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are going to the county town and need to use an ox cart.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time the two of them go to the county town before the Chinese New Year, so the two of them will do a lot of shopping.
Now the couple has moved into a new house.
The new house is divided into two yards: the front yard is used for making snacks, and the back yard is their happy home.
As for the old house, the two hired father and son Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer as long-term workers. The father and son lived in the old house to guard the oxcarts and the newly harvested corn and sweet potatoes. They also raised several pigs and dozens of pigs. chicken.
Of course, I have to come to the new house to work during the day.
Chen Tiezhu went to work in the workshop. Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer were a father and son, one was mute and the other was as timid as a mouse. Chen Tiezhu's father, Wang Baihua, was a powerful man, and his brother who favored Chen Tiezhu was extremely partial.
Wang Baihua often bullies Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer on weekdays. Now Chen Tiezhu has to work in the workshop and will not be able to get out before the year. In this case, Wang Baihua is afraid that Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer will regard Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer as their own. The servant calls for help.
Chen Tiezhu knew that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu planned to hire long-term workers, so before entering the workshop, he came to Li Qiao's house to beg Li Qiao. He wanted Li Qiao to hire Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer, and the wages could be lower. He didn't care, as long as Wang Xiaoer As long as Ya and Chen Zaoer are not bullied by Wang Baihua.
After traveling for so long, Li Qiao knew the villagers of Sanliu Village quite well. He and Tao Zhu wanted to hire a permanent worker. After thinking about it for a long time, they couldn't find anyone who was particularly suitable.
Now Chen Tiezhu begged to come over, and the couple discussed it and agreed.
Although Wang Xiaoya couldn't speak, he worked hard and did well in everything, whether it was work in the fields or at home.
Although Chen Zaoer is timid, he has a calm temperament and is also a good worker.
One of the father and son can't speak, and the other doesn't like to talk. It's good to hire them as long-term workers.
So, after Li Qiao and Tao Zhu moved to the new house, Wang Xiaoya and Chen Zaoer, father and son, moved into the old house.
With Li Qiao in charge, Wang Baihua did not dare to bully the father and son anymore.
The father and son were grateful to Li Qiao for being extremely diligent every day. When they went to the new house to make the preliminary work of making snacks, they also knew how to avoid suspicion and never went near the kitchen. They did whatever Tao Zhu asked them to do without asking any questions. Not a second glance.
Yesterday, Li Qiao specifically told Wang Xiaoya to bring the oxcart over after breakfast. Wang Xiaoya was afraid of delaying their husband's business, so he fed them early and then brought the oxcart over.
Li Qiao tied the calf to the wooden stake at the door and entered the yard.
Li Dashan stood at the door of the kitchen, holding a sesame shortbread in his hand. He glanced at the groggy sky while nibbling: "Uncle, it's cloudy today and it's too cold. Why don't you go to the county seat tomorrow."
"It's okay. Wear something thicker later."
Li Qiao also looked up at the sky, and then entered the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Tao Zhu was drinking corn juice.
There was also a pottery bowl next to him, which contained half of the corn juice that Li Qiao had drunk.
Tao Zhu drank the corn juice in several sips and let Li Qiao eat slowly. He went to the backyard to change clothes.
He made new cotton-padded clothes a few days ago.
Wear a stand-up collared double-breasted jacket first, then a round-neck cotton-padded jacket, and finally put on the popular wide-sleeved double-breasted cloak, and you have it all.
