“Yes, just tell him what 1 said.”

Regardless of whether the Zhou Trading Company was interested in the spicy cabbages, after hearing that the Ruyi Restaurant was willing to pay such a large sum of money for it, they wouldn’t be able to ignore such a good opportunity that came knocking on their door.

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, “bring the jar of spicy cabbage home and let them try it.”

Zhou Shi nodded.

“Sure!”

“In addition, don’t forget to mention that the owner will be in Daishi Village in three days. At that time, it would be best to get the people from the Zhou Trading Company to come together so that everyone could talk face to face.”

With this piece of news, the Zhou Trading Company would definitely come knocking.

As long as he came, this matter was almost certain.

“Okay!” Zhou Shi quickly nodded.

Lin Xiaoyue gave a few more instructions to Zhou Shi before they split up.

Zhou Shi went back to her maiden home to look for Master Zhou, and then she went to look for Third Master Zhou for workers.

Lin Xiaoyue first went to the Jin Grocery Store to talk to Mr. Jin.

Other than picking up the plates for the eatery, the most important thing was to buy and order some jars.

Mr. Jin was happy to receive Lin Xiaoyue’s order.

“Please get them ready as soon as possible. 1 need this batch of goods very urgently.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

Manager Liang gave her 1,000 taels of silver, so she could start the operation once she returned.

Before the workshop was built, they could use her front yard.

It should not be a problem to get more than ten workers to work there.

“Alright, don’t worry. The goods will be delivered to your residence in five days! 1 won’t delay your matters!”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded and gave Mr. Jin a few more instructions before leaving after paying the deposit.

Lin Xiaoyue went to the dock after she took the plates to the eatery.

Jiang Dahe was indeed there.

Lin Xiaoyue told Jiang Dahe about the workshop.

Jiang Dahe was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately said that he would get workers to the Liu family’s residence tomorrow to prepare for the construction of the workshop.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue returned to town.

She went to buy salt and glutinous rice flour.

She then went to the bank to exchange for silver notes, silver coins, and copper coins before returning to Daishi Village.

When she returned to the Liu family, Lin Xiaoyue brought Liu Shi to the backyard and told her about her plan.

When Liu Shi learned that her daughter was actually going to work with the owner of Ruyi Restaurant and possibly the Zhou Trading Company, she was both surprised and happy.

Lin Xiaoyue took out the hundred silver pieces and copper coins that she had exchanged in town.

Then, she took out two silver notes worth 100 taels.

“The 200 silver notes are what I owe you. The remaining 100 taels is for you to buy the cabbages.”

Ruyi Restaurant gave 5,000 taels of silver for 30% of the business. She probably wouldn’t need to spend all 5,000 taels of silver, so she would keep the remaining.

If the Zhou Trading Company also invested in the business, it would be another 5,000 taels of silver. Hehe, she would get rich so quickly!

When Liu Shi learned that her daughter could earn a lot of money this time, she did not refuse and happily accepted the money.

“Isn’t 100 taels too much?”

They had been buying cabbages for the past two days at the price of 1 wen per catty. 100 taels meant that they could buy 10,000 catties.

“You don’t have to spend it all. I gave you more, just in case.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Shi.

“Next, we’ll buy cabbages from our village. If the quantity is small, it would be dozens or hundreds of catties. We could just ask everyone to send them over directly. If they have more than 200 catties, they can give us a note. We’ll then give them a date and collect the cabbages from the field. Try to get at least 2,000 catties of cabbage every day.”

“I’ll go to the village chief’s house later and ask him to help us recruit more than 10 people to help us make spicy cabbage.”

“So many? Erya, Aunt Jiang and her family, plus the two of us, there’s already quite a lot of manpower!”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

“Let them deal with the stuff in the eatery and collect the chilis. There is no need for them to make the spicy cabbages.”

“It’s not easy to process 2,000 catties of cabbage a day. Ten people might not be enough.”

“We need three people to pick and wash the vegetables. Then, one person is responsible for cutting the cabbage into pieces, two for marinating the cut cabbage with salt, and three for spreading the sauce and sealing it. That makes nine people.”

“In addition, someone needs to help process the chili and turn it into chili powder. We need two more people for this.”

Lin Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and realized that she had to recruit at least eleven people.

“Why don’t we make the chili powder ourselves?” Liu Shi suddenly looked at

Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue could clearly see the worry in her eyes.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. She was quite happy that her mother was worried about this..
