Chapter 231: Hiring More People

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

So there was one more person helping them make cold cakes.

As the number of customers stabilized, Lin Xiaoyue had a routine.

In the morning, she and Jiang Lamei went to the market to set up stall, and in the afternoon, she taught her how to make cold cakes and deliver the goods.

With everyone working overtime every day, the cold cakes made were enough.

Lin Xiaoyue bought some red beans and raisins, processed them, and stored them in the shop.

For those who wanted to add red beans and raisins, they would be charged an extra 2 wen per bowl of cold cake.

Hence, their profit was a bit higher than before.

…..

On one of the days when Lin Xiaoyue went to deliver goods, she learned that there was a new customer who ordered 5 buckets of cold cakes every day.

Lin Xiaoyue did some calculations and finally decided to hire more people at home.

She had converted an empty room in the front yard into a big kitchen. The big kitchen was like a small factory.

At the moment, everyone was making cold cakes in the new kitchen.

There were 4 stoves, and the work efficiency had improved a lot compared to before.

But working overtime for a long time was not a solution.

Especially for her. In the morning, she had to set up stall, deliver goods, and make cold cakes. She was so busy that she felt like a spinning top.

On the way home, Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.

She could sell about 60 buckets of cold cakes every day.

It was not that much compared to the amount that Wang Shuanzi and Li Laishun sold around the villages.

But they occasionally received bulk orders.

Some only ordered 1 to 3 buckets, while others ordered a dozen buckets.

Adding up all the sales channels, they had to make more than 230 buckets of cold cakes every day to ensure that supply was enough.

With such a large amount, it was too much pressure on a few people.

She might as well recruit two people this time.

Now that Jiang Lamei had learned how to make the cold cakes, she could teach someone.

She would bring the other person to set up stall, and in the afternoon, the person would help with odd jobs at home.

In the future, except for the work of mixing lime water, she would not make cold cakes anymore.

Then, she could relax and have time to think about the future plan.

After arriving home, Lin Xiaoyue told everyone the news.

After hearing this, Aunt Jiang, Jiang Lamei, and Wang Erya all looked a little disappointed, and then relaxed.

More helpers meant that everyone would not be so busy in the future.

Their wages would be greatly reduced without the overtime.

However, everyone would be less stressed. It was too much to work all day every day.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lin Xiaoyue continued, “try to get someone from our village. If you have suitable candidates, you can recommend them.”

There were villagers who came to ask her mother for work.

But her mother declined because she was too busy.

She didn’t know much about them. She was worried that if they weren’t suitable, it would be difficult to fire them.

Wang Erya was quiet.

She had a good relationship with the three sisters of the Jiang family, but she didn’t know much about other people in the village.

Aunt Jiang and Jiang Lamei’s eyes flashed.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and then Aunt Jiang finally spoke.

“Why don’t you my hire daughters Xiaohua and Juhua as well?” She asked as she looked expectantly at Lin Xiaoyue..
