"When there is more inventory in the future, we can find markets and find ways to sell it."
"If it doesn't work, we can adjust production and stop workers from working overtime, or let them take vacation. The goods have a long shelf life, and there is always a way to dispose of the inventory."
Uncle Wu listened and his thoughts followed.
The more I listened, the more I admired Shen Shuangshuang.
Shen Shuangshuang also gave Uncle Wu time to digest, and continued in no hurry.
After a while, Uncle Wu finally finished digesting it.
"Madam's arrangement is very reasonable."
"It's just buying land, building a stove, repairing the floor, building walls, and buying some equipment for the workshop, including the oil paper, cans, and boxes used for packaging at home. There are also soybeans, salt brine, etc. needed for making tofu... …After careful calculation, the cost is quite high.”
Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
"In terms of money, the pressure will indeed be a bit high."
"That's it. Let's calculate now how much money it will cost to do this."
"For safety reasons, I will keep some extra money on hand for turnover."
“If you don’t have enough money, put off some of the things you need to do.”
"Yes." Uncle Wu quickly agreed.
Then the two of them calculated how much money would be needed to implement the plan mentioned by Shen Shuangshuang.
The result is not unknown, but I am shocked when I calculate it.
If Shen Shuangshuang's plan was fully implemented, the total cost would be more than four hundred taels of silver.
Shen Shuangshuang could naturally afford this huge sum of money, but after taking it out, she didn't have much money left in her hands.
At this time, Shen Shuangshuang regretted buying the yard where he lived now.
Otherwise, the money she has on hand is definitely enough to arrange the workshop.
"I won't buy the mule cart for now. I'll hire an ox cart from the village to haul the bricks and stones needed to build the wall."
"There are also buckets, tofu frames and wooden basins. We don't need to buy so many for the time being."
"As for the water tank, fix the one in the yard first."
"I'll only add one stone mill for the time being. If it's a donkey, I'll send Xiao Hui back to the village first."
As Shen Shuangshuang spoke, Uncle Wu scratched on the paper he had written down earlier.
Then recalculate the expenses.
After a while, Shen Shuangshuang looked at Uncle Wu.
"How? How much less?" asked.
"Fifty to eighty taels." Uncle Wu replied.
Shen Shuangshuang was slightly disappointed.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to settle the matter.
"That's it. The money won't be spent all at once."
"We still have income from the store and Zuixian Tower every day, so we can make up for it."
"No matter what happens—" Shen Shuangshuang paused.
Uncle Wu looked at Shen Shuangshuang.
"I also have other ways to get money." Shen Shuangshuang narrowed his eyes and said without explaining much.
What method?
Of course they sell ginseng.
It just so happened that she was making a lot of fermented bean curd these days, and the chili peppers produced in her space were not enough.
Pull out another ginseng, and the vacant land will be perfect for growing chili peppers.
Chili peppers can be planted more than twice a day, so two square meters of land is definitely enough for growing chili peppers.
Uncle Wu didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that Shen Shuangshuang knew the risks and had the ability to deal with them, he did not stop them.
As a result, the two quickly entered the next step.
And made the next plans and arrangements.
After lunch, Shen Shuangshuang went to the shops on the street to pick out some gifts.
After bringing the gifts, I went to Dahe Village with Uncle Wu.
To buy land from the village chief and ask the village chief to help recruit people in the village, she had to do it herself.
The village chief's house.
The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law Zhou was very enthusiastic when she saw Shen Shuangshuang coming to her door.
The Shen family is not simple now.
To open a workshop in the village, we invited the Li family's eldest son and the Wang family's family not to mention. I heard that I also bought a yard and opened a store in the town.
Now it's better, even the servants have bought it.
It would be no exaggeration to say that this man is now the richest man in their Dahe Village.
"Your uncle is at home. You go to the main room and wait while I call him." Mrs. Zhou accepted the gift and led Shen Shuangshuang and Uncle Wu inside.
"Lao Bo is here." Shen Shuangshuang walked inside.
"Oh, you girl, you are just being polite!" Mrs. Zhou said with a smile.
Then, quickly walked inside.
When he was approaching the main room, he completely left Shen Shuangshuang and Uncle Wu behind and went to the backyard to call the village chief.
After a while, the village chief came out.
Mrs. Zhou followed them out, looked at Shen Shuangshuang and Uncle Wu with a smile, and went to the kitchen to boil water.
"When did you come back to the village?" The village chief was very happy to see Shen Shuangshuang and asked Shen Shuangshuang.
When the Shen family moved, this girl came to tell him.
This family is very low-key, and until now, they have not let the villagers know that they not only opened a store in the town, but also bought a yard.
"Just got back." Shen Shuangshuang said with a smile.
"Come and see my uncle, and ask him to do something."
The village chief came to his senses.
"Sit down and talk." He said.
"Yeah." Shen Shuangshuang was not polite and sat down to talk to the village chief about business.
The village chief was very surprised to learn that Shen Shuangshuang wanted to buy land to expand his workshop.
"Isn't your workshop too small?" he asked.
Shen Shuangshuang smiled.
"It's not big. There's not enough space or manpower."
"I'm thinking about changing the layout of the workshop and expanding it to recruit more workers."
Shen Shuangshuang looked at the village chief.
"Uncle, aren't there many people in our village who don't have enough land and often go to town to do part-time work?"
"If my workshop needs manpower, I won't have to go to town."
The village chief's eyes moved.
"How many people are needed?" asked.
"Haha, it's hard to say."
"If we want to expand the workshop, we will have to find a dozen men to help tear down the walls and repair the roads and floors."
"I still need to find two people and two ox carts to help me pull some bricks, stones and materials."
"As for the workshop, I'm thinking that once the new stove is built, I'll have to hire five or six more workers."
"This is just a tentative decision. As long as the business of the workshop continues to be good, we will continue to recruit people in the future."
The village chief was a little excited.
Just as he was about to say something, Mrs. Zhou came over with tea.
"Girl Shuangshuang, if we want to help, why don't we call you first cousin, second cousin, and two cousins!"
“It’s such a winter day, there’s no work in the fields, and they often go to town to find work!”
Shen Shuangshuang thanked Zhou for the tea.
When I saw that the village chief frowned when he heard Zhou's words, he didn't stop him. He knew the village chief's plan.
"I would be happy if the lobby uncle and the others could come to help." So, Shen Shuangshuang smiled.
When Zhou heard this, he immediately smiled.
"Shuangshuang girl, let's talk about your workshop. Do you accept both men and women? What's the price? Do you think - can I make it?" Then he asked Shen Shuangshuang. He also pulled the hem of his clothes and stood up straight.
The village chief finally became serious.
"What's going on? Why don't you go down!" he scolded.
Zhou finally regained her posture, smiled at Shen Shuangshuang, and then retreated.
Seeing Mrs. Zhou walking out dejectedly, Shen Shuangshuang couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, I made you laugh." The village chief said embarrassedly.
"No." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
