Chapter 53 People feel refreshed during happy events!
"How much do you think this egg tart costs?" Grandma Fang's voice was a bit shrill.
Liu Yue answered truthfully: "Sixty articles."
Grandma Fang and Mrs. Sun looked at the pastries placed in small porcelain bowls in front of them. They didn't know what to say. When Liu Yue came to pick up the sewn clothes some time ago, she handed them two boxes of pastries. They thought they were new ones in the city.
Liu Yue said they were not expensive, so she smiled and accepted the pastries and gave them to her children.
Now Liu Yue actually told her that this little thing cost sixty cents each, so wouldn't the two boxes of cakes she gave them cost one and two halves? Such expensive things were eaten by the children in a few bites?
I can't think about it anymore, I can't think about it anymore, my heart hurts so much that I can't breathe.
Grandma Fang and Mrs. Sun covered their chests and took a few deep breaths to calm down.
Shen Qingyan's stove would not be set up until tomorrow, so Liu Yue was not in a hurry to let the two of them start work, but asked them to see what they thought.
After Grandma Fang and Mrs. Sun learned about the price of the egg tarts, they seemed to understand why Liu Yue could offer one or two silvers as wages.
Grandma Fang felt a little embarrassed when she remembered that she was worried that the Shen family would steal their business after buying donkeys and mules. Alas, she was too petty back then.
Mrs. Sun was still a little hesitant: "Xiaoyue, I am willing to work for you, as long as you give me fifty or sixty cents a day."
The men who work as coolies in the city earn about this salary, but they are women and it is difficult to find such a job, so they feel a little embarrassed when they say it.
Employees in ancient times were so simple. How come they were given a salary reduction of more than ten times? In modern times, employees would probably only have one tael of silver and still think about fishing all day long, right?
Liu Yue was once again shocked by how cheap labor was in ancient times.
Liu Yue smiled and persuaded: "I'm not just asking you two employees. You should listen to the daily work first and then judge the wages. Aunt Chen needs to make nearly 800 egg tart shells every day, which requires you and Grandma Chen.
In order to be busy, Grandma Fang, you will take your three daughters-in-law to make egg tart cores and bake egg tarts. Old Li Tou and Uncle Chen will be responsible for delivering goods to the city. After all, one tael of silver seems a bit small."
Both families understand that the tasks of egg tart dough and baking are separated. After all, this food is so expensive, and it is impossible to just hand out the recipe casually.
After Liu Yue's persuasion, Grandma Fang and Mrs. Sun finally accepted the salary. Thinking of the huge salary they were about to receive, they wished they could offer Shen Qingyan and Liu Yue as gods of wealth.
Fortunately, they helped the Shen family a lot when they were in trouble, otherwise such a good job would not have happened to them.
The two families felt like they were in the dark, knowing that it would be easy to hire workers in the city for this kind of salary. The reason why they found the two families was to express their gratitude for their previous help to the Shen family.
The children of the Shen family are nian-en, and Miss Liu is also a smart person. Since her arrival, the life of the Shen family has been getting better day by day.
Grandma Fang took the hands of Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan, put them together and patted them: "You should live a good life!"
Liu Yue felt Shen Qingyan hold her hand and said to the other woman, "We will be fine."
After making an appointment to try it out tomorrow afternoon, Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan sent them away.
Liu Yue thought of the hand that was held tightly just now, and suddenly she didn't dare to look at him. She avoided looking at Shen Qingyan, said, "I'll take out the oven to bake egg tarts," and ran away.
Alas, why is it that as we get older and older, our moral bottom line becomes lower and lower?
While Liu Yue was baking egg tarts, she despised herself for being so disdainful of a sixteen-year-old kid blushing.
Shen Qingyan was quietly working on the stove beside him, his face as calm as ever, as if Liu Yue's hasty escape had never happened.
Shen Ling'an carried her homework and continued her janitor work with Fat Hu on her back.
Fat Tiger, who always slept after eating in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a series of low growls at the back wall.
Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan looked at each other and instantly understood what was going on.
I was so happy making money during this period that I almost forgot about it.
The one sneaking around at the back wall was naturally Ms. Lin who wanted to take a peek at Liu Yue and Shen Qingyan's business some time ago. She was startled by Shen Ling'an's dog some time ago, and Shen Ling'an's defense was tight afterwards. She has never found an opportunity, but she consciously told her that the Shen family's business was definitely not small, so she never gave up. When the Shen family came to the city, she actually secretly leaned on the wall to look at it a few times, but there were two tables in the backyard with nothing. , but there are a few marks on the ground, as if something has been placed here! It must have been put away after finishing. If you want to find out what it is, you have to come in the afternoon.
Today she finally got the chance!
Today, Shen Ling'an's little girl was not watching in the backyard as usual. The family went out uncharacteristically in the afternoon and invited people from the Li family and Chen family to come into the house to talk. He hid in the distance and peeked. When the two families came out, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces. It looked like something good was going to happen!
Mrs. Lin was filled with jealousy. Why didn't such a good thing happen to her? She must see what kind of shady business the Shen family was doing!
Seeing that Shen Ling'an didn't come out to watch the wind for a long time, Mrs. Lin started to think about climbing the wall again. She rolled up her sleeves and climbed up on the rocks.
The wall of the Shen family was not too high. She stepped on the stone and tried to stand on tiptoe, and then she hooked it up. She raised her head with great effort, and when she looked around, she saw a grimace with a green face and fangs.
Ms. Lin screamed in fright, fell back in panic, and fell on her back.
"Ah, Aunt Lin, what are you doing here!"
Liu Yue stood on the wall on a stool, pretending to be surprised as she looked at Mrs. Lin who fell.
Mrs. Lin was not at all panicked about being caught. Instead, she angrily blamed Liu Yue: "Why are you using a ghost mask in the clear day? You are just pretending to be a ghost!"
Liu Yue snorted coldly when she saw the villain Lin complained first: "It's better for me to pretend to be a ghost than some real monster. Why are you wandering around my backyard in broad daylight?"
Mrs. Lin didn't seem to understand Liu Yue's scolding. She lay on the ground and kicked her legs up, acting like a rogue: "I don't care, you scared me anyway and I sprained my foot. You have to pay for it."
In her previous life, Liu Yue had seen many bad people who touched porcelain. She picked up a stick and shook it: "How much money will you pay for spraining your foot? Why don't I break your hands and legs? I'll pay you whatever you want." How many."
Lin is usually unreasonable, and he has gained a lot of advantages in the village because of this, but when he meets someone like Liu Yue who wants to take action directly, it is inevitable that he feels guilty.
"You, don't come over."
Liu Yue made a move to turn over the wall: "What are you afraid of? I'll break a leg and give you ten taels. Don't worry, I'm very strong. I'm sure I can break a bone with just one hit."
Seeing that Liu Yue's expression didn't seem to be fake, Mrs. Lin dared to carry her where she was, so she staggered up and ran away.
Liu Yue came down from the wall, threw the stick aside, and concluded her speech: "When you encounter such an unreasonable person, you have to be even more unreasonable than her!"
After saying this, he touched Fat Tiger's head and said, "I'll give you extra food today!"
Fat Tiger whined, wagged his tail, and rolled happily on the ground.
