Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Li Haitang silently calculated the distance from Songhe Academy to the night market, and deeply admired the patience of a few people.

At this time, if you have to go through the main city, you will definitely not be able to go back. In other words, in order to eat grilled shrimps that cost 100 cents, a few people have to go through most of Kyoto. The travel expenses and accommodation expenses are far more than the price of grilled shrimps.

"There are so many people in Songhe Academy. They are all bookworms. If we have this time, we might as well read more books. They are not like us..."

Several people lamented that occasionally when the first pot of grilled shrimp came out, the scholars who cared about their own image would demand to eat the first batch, and almost got into a scuffle.

"Each of you, take one first and enjoy it."

The stall owner, a man in his early twenties, smiled and handed out the grilled shrimp.

"Zhao Laowu, go set up a stall at Songhe Academy, you will definitely make money!"

The scholars peeled and ate the shrimps in one go, and some of them were the fastest. They wanted to eat them raw. They shouted that it was hot, but they swallowed them very firmly, and then stared at the second wave, their eyes shining.

"Songhe Academy and my home are separated by more than half of the capital. You also know the situation at my home. I can't live without people. I have to cook medicine at home sooner or later."

The charcoal fire was no longer strong, so Zhao Laowu fanned himself with a fan and took another sip of water.

With this situation at home, he could only wait for his mother to go to bed every night before going out.

"We know this. You marry a wife and take care of your mother."

The scholars who can study in Songhe Academy are not short of money and have no understanding of the sufferings of ordinary people.

Marrying a daughter-in-law requires a bride price. His family is not poor, but his mother is ill and sometimes needs help. Who is willing to marry their daughter to such a family?

Zhao Laowu asked someone to arrange marriage for two or three years, but there was no result.

He sells grilled shrimps at the night market, which costs a lot of money.

The shrimps are brought from the seaside by dragging a salesman before dawn, and ice is added to keep them fresh.

The cost of transportation, ice money, stall fees, money for charcoal fire, seasoning, hand-opening of the back, all in one package, all by himself.

From morning to night, except for half an hour's sleep at noon, there is almost no leisure.

He doesn't make much from a bunch of seafood, but he adds up to a lot. If there's a thunderstorm and he can't run the stall at night, the shrimp won't be fresh the next day, and he has to restock the goods.

Fortunately, he had a way to make stale shrimp into dried shrimp, which tasted good. He divided it into packages and sold them very quickly.

"That is to say, if you and your family are provided with accommodation near Songhe Academy, would you be willing to work there?"

Li Haitang calculated that his shop must have a signboard. As barbecue is a best-selling product in future generations, there is no reason why no one in Daqi cares about it. After Li Haitang finished speaking, before Zhao Laowu said anything, several foodies became excited. Everyone made a decision. After calculating the cost of transportation and accommodation in a month, it would cost a few taels of silver. With this money, why not give it to Zhao? Lao Wu rented a house near Songhe Academy

What about a yard?

A few people share the money equally, and the money is negligible. They can still eat grilled shrimp without having to travel far!

"Ma'am, this is a brilliant idea!"

One of the scholars bowed and expressed his gratitude to Li Haitang.

Li Haitang: ...What does this mean? Did she say something?

"No merit will be rewarded. Besides, when we go to Songhe Academy, it's hot during the day, and passers-by just want to drink water. How can we eat this?"

Zhao Laowu shook his head. The stalls there are definitely not as stable as the night market. The grilled shrimp business is best at night. If he is not too busy, he can bake a lot of things.

"That's it..."

The scholar was obviously disappointed and muttered, "Either this, how much profit do you make in a month, we will pay you wages and provide you with a place to live. As long as we want to eat, you can bake it for us."

In order to eat, everyone did not hesitate to spend money and tried every means to trick Zhao Laowu into moving.

"I, Zhao Laowu, accept your wishes, but it doesn't work!"

Zhao Laowu sighed, it's not that easy to do this business. You have to make a reservation with the salesman to eat the grilled shrimps, so you can't eat them just when you want. If it's cloudy and rainy, you may not be able to eat them if you want.

Unless you have a cold storage at home, store the shrimp on ice.

"I have a proposal."

Li Haitang stepped forward and introduced his shop, and by the way promoted it to the scholars of Songhe Academy, "One of the dishes is grilled shrimps and various grilled skewers. It is only busy at noon and evening every day."

There are three large shops in total, all with two floors. Ji Qiu's original wine shop can also be used as a warehouse.

There are more than twenty houses in the backyard. Excluding utility rooms and one or two warehouses, the rest can be lived in.

Living behind the shop is a bit popular, and I can also help look after the shop at night.

If Zhao Laowu goes to work in a shop, he can take care of his mother nearby, as long as it doesn't delay the business.

"Are you the owner of the shop?"

Scholars have long heard from their classmates that sixty-six essays can be eaten at will, which sounds unbelievable!

For such a small amount of money, you can get grilled shrimps, which is really not good at all!

If Zhao Laowu goes there, they will definitely come there every day. Even if they are too lazy to go out, they will find someone to deliver food. Well, I heard that the shop also provides food delivery service!

"Yes, the shop will open in about ten days."

Li Haitang squinted his eyes and nodded, bragging about how unique his family was.

Zhao Laowu saw that Li Haitang was good-looking and well-dressed, and did not look like a liar. But with the proof from the students of Songhe Academy, he was even more assured.

Li Haitang promised that as long as Zhao Laowu is willing to work in the shop, there will be people dedicated to buying shrimps, cutting backs, ingredients, etc., so he does not have to work.

If you have a place to live and take care of your mother nearby, the key is, this can save a lot of time.

Zhao Laowu was moved, but he hesitated to speak, embarrassed to ask about his wages.

It stands to reason that the work is easy and one cannot ask for too much, but the medicine his mother takes every month costs at least five taels of silver. There are also costs for doing business. Sometimes he loses a small amount of money, and the money he earns flows smoothly in his hands. It was spent in a blink of an eye.

"In the first month, it's five taels of silver. If you perform well, it will be increased."

Li Haitang said that because the shop is a self-service model, he can provide food and accommodation at home, and he has special clothes for work, so there is almost no need to spend any other money.

She calculated, the barbecue job was a smoky job, and it was a technical job that could not be done by just picking up someone on the street.

Zhao Laowu has a lot of fans. Inviting people to the shop is equivalent to having a regular customer base, which is a cost-effective business.

The buffet includes some drinks, such as Baihua wine, which still cost money.

In addition to food money, I can also earn some money for drinks every day. Door-to-door meal delivery only requires a waiter to run errands, and the meal box delivered is similar to a modern lunch box. It contains a few meat and vegetable dishes, plus fruits, etc., and it is definitely not worth sixty-six cents.
