Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 114: Shortage of Manpower
In less than half a day, the new batch of Ruyilu was sold out again, and even the prepaid orders were queued up to seven days later. Li Yi closed the shop door as usual and returned to the village with the little maid. Tian Lai Xiao said
Not long after, a carriage came out of the carriage house. After driving out of the mansion gate, it went straight along the official road. In more than a quarter of an hour, it arrived at the foot of Green Willow Mountain.
If you don't continue along the official road, you will reach a rugged mountain road further forward, making it difficult for the carriage to move. The young man driving the carriage jumped out of the carriage, turned around and said loudly: "Sir, we are here!"
The curtain of the carriage was opened. Li Yi took Xiao Huan's hand and got out of the carriage. He took out ten cents from his waist and handed it to the boy, saying, "Tomorrow will still be the same time. Remember to wait here."
"Okay!" The boy put away the copper coins and said with a naive smile on his face: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely wait for you here early tomorrow morning and won't delay your business!"
For this guy, the young master in front of him is already a regular visitor.
The business of the car dealership is not very good, and with such a stable customer who rents a carriage twice a day, he must be satisfied.
Li Yi waved his hand and watched the guy drive away and walk towards the village with the little maid.
Between Liuyezhai and Qing'an Fucheng, except for this section of mountain road, most of them are flat roads that can be traveled by horse-drawn carriage. Renting a horse-drawn carriage can save more than half the time compared to purely walking.
Although after telling Fucheng, the carriage driving on the official road was a little bumpy, it was not too violent. Ever since Li Yi knew that there was an industry of driving carriages in Fucheng, he had used this kind of transportation more often.
For ordinary people, in order to save ten cents, they would rather choose to walk. But now that Ruyifang's business is so good, and they earn dozens of taels of silver every day, there is no need to save money in these places.
What's more, the time saved was enough for him to create wealth far more than ten cents.
After walking on the mountain road for less than half an hour, we could already see the stockade. Not long after entering the stockade, we saw Lao Fang surrounded by several girls, with a troubled look on his face, and he didn't know what happened.
Today, Lao Fang seems to be the most successful man in Liuye Village besides Li Yi, and the envy of countless people.
Li Yi has a lazy temperament. After the candied haws and workshop things got on track, he completely let go and Lao Fang was in charge. Now even the Liu family's direct line also depends on Lao Fang's face to act. In the eyes of others, it is natural Majestic.
Li Yi had seen several women gather together more than once, talking about how much virtue Lao Fang's mother-in-law had accumulated in her previous life to be able to follow such a capable man. He expressed great respect for Lao Fang in his words, as if he was a woman. She looks like an older fan girl.
Of course, Li Yi never mentioned this matter to Lao Fang, lest he get carried away and harm other married women, otherwise it would cause another human tragedy and destroy the harmony and stability of the village...
However, this is only limited to those women. When will these girls also...
This made Li Yi feel a little unimaginable. Could it be that he had really underestimated Lao Fang's charm before?
"Uncle Fang, please help us think of a solution..." Several girls looked at Old Fang and begged.
Lao Fang has never been good at dealing with women. Being surrounded by so many girls, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He said with an embarrassed face: "It's not that I won't help you. It's just that there is no shortage of people at Bingtanghulu. If you go there, help too." It’s not a big job, the work in the workshop is not something you little girls can do.”
"We have nothing to do at home all day long. Uncle Fang, please help us..."
"There are a lot of things we can do..."
"Yes, Uncle Fang, please..."
…
Only Uncle Fang could help them with this matter, and the girls continued to beg without giving up.
When the voice reached his ears, Lao Fang's head became a little bigger again. He turned his eyes and suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards this side. As if he was being forgiven, he immediately strode over.
"Uncle, you are back!"
"Brother-in-law..." Seeing Li Yi, several girls also bowed reservedly.
"What's going on?" Li Yi looked at Lao Fang and the others and asked with some confusion.
"These children don't want to stay in the village, so they insist on asking me to find some work for them." Lao Fang looked at Li Yi and said helplessly: "There is no shortage of manpower at the candied haws Lu. In the workshop, uncle, you too knew……"
Li Yi nodded. After the Liu family joined directly, the candied haws business has reached saturation. As for the workshop, others are not allowed to approach it on weekdays. Confidentiality is the biggest reason, and part of it is due to safety issues. They all deal with alcohol and fire, which is not suitable for these women.
"If you ask me, this woman should just stay in the village, cook and take care of the house. She is really not suitable to go out and show her face." Lao Fang looked up at Li Yi and asked : "Uncle, do you think so?"
When the girls next to Lao Fang heard this, disappointment appeared on their pretty faces and they couldn't help but lower their heads.
Uncle Fang is right. As a woman, especially a woman who has not yet left the government, she should abide by the virtues of women and should not be exposed to the public. But the parents at home are busy, and even sister Qin Qing is teaching those children in the school. It seems that everyone Everyone has something to do, but they just sit around at home all day long, so naturally they feel uncomfortable.
Li Yi glanced at Lao Fang. These girls were more ambitious than Lao Fang in making such a request. He turned to look at them and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Ruyifang is too busy recently. If you are willing, go there to help."
"Son-in-law, this..." Lao Fang looked up at Li Yi with a look of surprise.
"Really?" Several girls raised their heads, also with a look of disbelief.
Li Yi nodded and said: "The shop in the city is too busy recently. You can clean up today and go to the shop tomorrow."
It was beyond his expectation that several girls had such thoughts, but he had originally planned to hire people. These girls were all his own people and trustworthy. Instead of hiring a few outsiders, it would be better to let them go.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Several girls were overjoyed, and smiles immediately bloomed on their pretty faces. They hurriedly thanked him.
"Of course, this matter must first obtain the consent of your family." Seeing their cheering, Li Yi added another sentence.
A young girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, they have already agreed."
Since their families have agreed, Li Yi naturally has no objection. He went to the workshop to take a look and asked Lao Fang and others to speed up the production of a new batch of Ruyi Lu. He had not expected that Ruyi Lu would be in such short supply. When the funds are sufficient to start producing strong liquor, such a small workshop may not be able to meet the production requirements...
By that time, I am afraid that there will not even be enough manpower...
