Chapter 39 Working Overtime

Ultimately, Liujiacun is still too poor.

Compared with the economic and living standards of other villages, it is very backward.

The village chief was also very angry about this, but what could he do?

He can only take care of himself and cannot help the whole village become rich.

When the villagers saw Xu Miaomiao taking out a lot of money and handing it to others, and then looking at the ten bags of flour in the yard, everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe that in just a few days, Xu Miaomiao's bread business was complete.

So big.

The tractors have all driven away, but everyone is still unwilling to leave.

"Mom Wen Xin, why did you buy so much flour? It's white flour. It costs a lot of money, right?"

"It's okay, it should be enough for me to use for a few days."

How many days?

Everyone was shocked. So many bags of flour are only enough for a few days?

It seems that Wen Xinma's business has really grown.

Those who were originally not optimistic about the bread business had mixed feelings.

Especially Ma Yan, she didn't expect that people would buy such expensive things and sell them so well. Then Xu Miaomiao was going to make a fortune.

"I'm going to make bread. If you want to eat bread, you can come to my house and buy it." Xu Miaomiao looked at the people gathered in her yard talking non-stop, her head buzzing from the noise.

When everyone heard that they were asked to buy bread, they immediately dispersed.

They don't know how to buy bread. It smells good, but it's too expensive.

If you don’t buy it, you will make money if you smell it.

Xu Miaomiao had just seen off the villagers when she met a few unfamiliar faces.

"You are?"

Who are these people? What are they doing at her door?

It's not a good thing for a few grown men to come to a widow's doorstep.

"You are Boss Xu, we are from the pastry shop in the county, and we want to buy your bread." Several people directly explained their purpose of visit.

"County pastry shop? Why don't I remember it?" Xu Miaomiao expressed doubts.

Looking at Xu Miaomiao's defensive look, several people clearly thought that she was a bad person, so they immediately explained.

"We are the owners of pastry shops on several other streets, not on the main street. We heard about you from Gao Qing, and we wanted to come over and ask if you can also supply us?"

When the speaker mentioned Gao Qing, a different emotion obviously flashed through him.

In order to get information about Xu Miaomiao, they spent a lot of money on Gao Qing.

Gao Qing, that evil-hearted man, even though they were traveling together, but the distance was not too close, and it would not affect each other's business, he actually asked them for twenty yuan each!

What a profiteer!

"Oh, it turns out it was Gao Qing who introduced me. Come in." Xu Miaomiao moved a few small benches from the house and put them in the yard to make for them.

Then he went back to the room and took out a pen and paper, "You guys wait a moment, I'll go find my son."

Xu Miaomiao said and walked out, leaving a few people in the yard looking at each other, wondering why Xu Miaomiao wanted to find her son.

Soon, Liu Wenjun was called back by Xu Miaomiao.

Liu Wenle came back with him, and they went to pick wild fruits in the mountains.

Xu Miaomiao picked up a pen and paper and sat across from them. She looked at Liu Wenjun and said, "These uncles came to our house to place orders. You need to identify them first so that we can deliver the goods tomorrow."

Liu Wenjun greeted a few people, and Xu Miaomiao asked one by one, "How many pounds do you want to order?"

"I want eighty pounds."

"I want a hundred pounds."

"Can I get forty pounds? I want to try it first?" one of the men asked cautiously.

He was afraid of ordering too little Miaomiao and was unwilling to give it away.

Xu Miaomiao nodded, "Okay."

Xu Miaomiao wrote down the address of each store and the quantity ordered and asked them to pay half of the money before letting them leave.

These people have ordered more than 600 kilograms of bread in total. If they need it tomorrow, they can top it with the bread made for Xu Ji in the city, and then make new ones for Xu Ji.

Bread won't taste good if it's left out for too long.

But even if you include the bread given to Xu Ji, it is not enough.

"Wenle, go and call grandma, uncle, and the others, and tell them to come back and make bread." Xu Miaomiao thought for a while, and it seems that she has to work overtime tonight.

Several people were working in the fields. When they heard that Xu Miaomiao asked them to make bread, they left their farm tools and came over without saying a word.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that they had prepared half of what they needed for tomorrow.

"I'm going to cook, and you guys will eat here tonight. You keep cooking, and we'll try to get the amount needed for tomorrow tonight." Xu Miaomiao made an estimate, and it should be fine.

Xu Miaomiao and Liu Wenle cooked, and the remaining three sons also joined the bread-making team.

Braised chicken, vermicelli stew, vinegar shredded potatoes, and a pot of white rice.

Because there are many people and large amounts of food, Xu Miaomiao cooks large portions of each dish.

"Okay, come here to eat first, and then cook after eating." Xu Miaomiao set up a small table in the yard, and everyone moved the small bench to the yard.

There is no place at all in the main house, so it would be nice to have a place to stay.

Li Hongying and others swallowed their saliva when they saw the food on the table. When they were making bread, they smelled the aroma of meat. They thought it was only meat, but they didn't expect there was chicken!

This chicken is naturally a big rooster that Xu Miaomiao bought from the system and is very good for frying. It is fragrant and easy to fry. It is Xu Miaomiao's favorite.

She bought two and stewed them immediately.

Xu Miaomiao’s concept is: either don’t eat, or eat well!

"Eat quickly, get to work quickly after eating." Xu Miaomiao gave the order, and everyone started using their chopsticks.

Even Li Hongying, who was twitching with distress, started to eat. They had a lot of family members and a lot to eat, so the meal was well done.

Woohoo, how much does it cost for so much meat?

While Li Hongying felt distressed, she started eating even harder.

Woohoo, so delicious.

After dinner, Liu Wenxin went to wash the dishes and wash the pots. He knew that Xu Miaomiao didn't like washing dishes and usually took the initiative to do this job.

Several people had eaten and drank enough, and they were even more energetic.

The main reason is that this meal was better than the Chinese New Year, and my mouth and stomach were greatly satisfied.

At ten o'clock in the evening, all the bread was made and packed.

It was so late, Xu Miaomiao did not forget to take out the money.

"You've worked hard tonight. It's three yuan per person. Go home and have a rest. Let's continue making bread tomorrow."

Li Hongying frowned, "Didn't we agree to pay two yuan a day? Why did it become three yuan?"

Even if the work done at night is equal to that during the day, it can barely count as one day.

"Mom, this is hard-earned money." Xu Miaomiao felt that they were tired from working so late, so she wanted to give them more to feel comfortable with.

"Mom Wen Xin, two yuan is too much. We had a meal at your house tonight." Ma Ju also felt that she shouldn't charge three yuan, so she gave Xu Miaomiao another yuan.

"That's right, we even had a meal tonight." Grandma Liu also said.

The last few people took two dollars and went home. Xu Miaomiao looked at the four dollars that she had not given away and shook her head helplessly.
