"What? Are you going to hold a house-warming banquet? You've already treated the whole village to a fort banquet. It's going to cost a lot to treat the whole village to a meal. Let's save it if we can!"
Xia Qiyue knew that what An Wang said was for her own good and to save her money, so she smiled and said, "Auntie, the folks have been kind to me, and I want to repay you. I disappeared some time ago, and everyone was gone overnight."
You didn't sleep to find me. I haven't repaid the favor yet. I just happened to take advantage of the greenhouse banquet to let you all have a good meal. It's a little bit of my gratitude, what do you think?"
When Mrs. An heard this, she understood the same thing. Although she herself didn't need Qiyue Yatou to repay her kindness, others might not think so.
To say how much help Qiyue Yatou had to the villagers, it would be huge. It was a life-saving kindness. If Qiyitou hadn't borrowed money and given food to them on the way to escape, they might not have been able to survive.
We must all flee the wilderness and come here.
However, Qiyue Yatou thought that it would be a good thing to maintain a good relationship with the villagers. After all, she is so rich now, and she is a woman with a child. Maybe one day she will be remembered, and then there will be so many people in the village to help her.
It's also a helper, isn't it?
With this in mind, An Wang did not object. She and Xia Qiyue determined the time for the greenhouse banquet, as well as some of the ingredients that needed to be purchased for the greenhouse banquet.
"Auntie, just help me with the rest. I'll buy the ingredients. I'll buy them back a day in advance. You can help me find a few aunties who are very handy to help with the cooking. I still need to borrow some tables and benches. I need to borrow some at home.
Not enough!”
"Okay, okay, leave it all to me!" Mrs. An Wang nodded quickly, "You just go about your business. Aunt Youde said that your candy business is about to start again. You must be very busy, so you can just go about your business!"
After saying that, she got up and was in a hurry to leave, because the greenhouse banquet only had three days to prepare, so she had to prepare it quickly.
"Auntie, these are all trivial matters. I have more important things to ask you now, so don't leave in a hurry!"
Xia Qiyue quickly called her out. The most important thing she had not yet said was to peel the peanuts.
She had arranged her manpower, and there was no one to peel peanuts. She had already thought about it. After opening the store, she would definitely use more peanuts, so she would use the women in the village who are now at home.
"Girl in July, what else do you have? Let me tell you all, I will go and help you!" Wang An has a very high nature. Firstly, she has a high reputation in the village and is willing to do these things. Secondly, she has a high reputation in the village.
Come, she can also repay Xia Qiyue a little, killing two birds with one stone, how can she not be happy?
Xia Qiyue then told her plan. When she heard this, Prince An was even more excited than she was about making a fortune, and her eyes widened.
"This is great, Girl Qiyue, you are really the lucky star in our village. With you here, everyone is blessed! I'm going to tell everyone, you want ten people, right? I'll give it to you
Find someone reliable and good-natured!"
"Auntie, tell them about the wages. They will be paid according to the outside wages, twenty cents a day, and they will be paid once a month. You should make it clear when you say it. If you are willing, you can take it. Don't worry about it if there are any problems in this regard.
Oh no."
Xia Qiyue knows that human nature is difficult to predict, so it is better to solve any problems in advance. After all, she cannot worry about such trivial matters all day long.
Mrs. An Wang is a sensible person, and she also knows Xia Qiyue, so she understood it when she said it. She smiled and reassured her that she would take care of it for her.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Mrs. An and Wang came over with ten women, all of whom looked to be in their forties. Fortunately, they only peeled peanuts and did not do any heavy work.
Come on, come on, after all, she has to go to the store to start preparing for the opening after finishing the things at hand. It's okay to let them start peeling peanuts now.
Xia Qiyue asked An Sijin and Anton Anliang to buy peanuts at that time, and also placed the people brought by An Wang in a workshop specially designed for peeling peanuts.
After everything was settled, it was already noon, and the sugar boiling hadn’t started yet, so the family didn’t have to cook for so many people at noon. As for the workers who peeled peanuts, Xia Qiyue agreed not to provide meals, because outside, they were the ones carrying the peanuts.
Sandbag workers don't get lunch either, and their wages are only twenty to twenty-five cents.
There is a reason why Xia Qiyue treats the six young men so favorably. She is not a fool. She said that she would pay high wages because she wanted to reuse the six people and their characters were worth cultivating, so she would not hesitate to pay high wages.
.
Everything went well. By noon, Lin Jianxin also started his enlightenment class with the children. None of the three children came to make trouble with him all morning. Xia Qiyue was thinking about whether to enter the space to pamper her Jade Snow Flying Dragon.
, Shi Hua ran over in a panic.
"What are you in such a panic about? Didn't you go to have lunch?" Xia Qiyue was confused, because at this time they were having lunch, but Shi Hua was running here.
When Shi Hua saw Xia Qiyue, he immediately said, "Madam, there are three women coming outside, insisting on breaking in. The servant said you were busy, and waited for the announcement, but they... they have already come in.
Come on! Say, this is their home too, why can’t they enter!"
Shi Hua had obviously run too hastily, and now two girls were taking turns watching the courtyard gate. They ran over from the front yard, but they were out of breath.
"What about them?" Xia Qiyue's face turned cold, and she knew who they were as soon as she heard it.
Need I say more? It must be Liu Mei, Ge Mingyu, and Yang Qiuju, because Mrs. An can't get off the kang yet.
"They...they were peeling peanuts!" Shi Hua said, pointing to the front yard.
It became clear to Xia Qiyue that Wang An used some tricks to make Lao An's family get the news a little late, so they selected ten of the first people who came and sent them over. They were here to work.
.
"Let's go and have a look!"
I asked Shi Hua to follow because I wanted her to see and hear more about how to deal with a top guy like Lao An.
The two of them walked to the front yard and met Mrs. An Wang head-on. When their eyes met, they knew that she was also here to help deal with the three sisters-in-law.
While Xia Qiyue was moved, she also made a mental note of Prince An's kindness to her.
When the three of them arrived at the workroom, the three sisters-in-law had already sat down to peel peanuts, but Xia Qiyue looked sharply at Liu Mei's pocket, which was bulging with money.
Look at Ge Mingyu's, oh...are these two competing to see who can pretend more? It's more bulging than Liu Mei's.
Xia Qiyue turned to look at Yang Qiuju again, and was surprised to find that she didn't seem to have anything in her pocket.
She calmly walked towards the three of them. Liu Mei and Ge Mingyu were busy stealing and didn't notice her coming at all. On the contrary, Yang Qiuju stood up quickly when she saw Xia Qiyue coming, her cold temperament was a little embarrassed at this time.
"Fourth brother and sister, are you here?"
Xia Qiyue nodded, the smile on her face unchanged, "What are the three sisters-in-law doing?"
