Chapter 14

"Miss Xiuxiu, I heard from Old Madam Ye that your family is hiring workers. Is that true?"

It was still raining. The village chief's wife took off her raincoat and hung it by the door. Before she entered the house, her voice had already spread into the house.

Ye Jinxiu was keeping accounts in the house. When he heard the village chief's wife's voice, he hurriedly went out to greet her. "Yes, it is true."

The Yeh family was indeed hiring workers.

The village chief's wife's footsteps became lighter. "How many do you want? Do you think I can do it?"

While talking, the village chief's wife quickly walked into the house and put a piece of bacon on the table. "Ah, Li Xue is back. Didn't you say that you were going to stay in the city for the Mid-Autumn Festival? When did you come back?"

"I was worried about leaving Jinxiu alone at home."

Li Xue replied half-truthfully. She couldn't get along well with the village head's wife. When the two of them met, they would often talk less than three sentences and there would always be an awkward silence.

"Ye He and Ye Zhao are also back, right?"

Li Xue pursed her lips. That dead man didn't come back.

She was about to change the topic when Ye Jinxiu beat her to it. "Auntie, I want to build a few greenhouses at the back of the house. Should I ask the village chief's uncle for permission?"

The village chief's wife patted her forehead. "Look at me. Once we start talking, there's no end to it. I almost forgot about the business."

"The land at the back has already been approved for your family. If you want to build a greenhouse, just find someone to build it. No one will cause trouble.

By the way, how many people do you want to find to work? Do you think I can do it? "

Ye Jinxiu pulled the village chief's wife to sit down. Old Madam Ye quickly served a cup of tea.

Ye Jinxiu sat next to the village chief's wife. "I think we need to find a dozen people. Auntie, if you have time, come and take a look."

The village chief's wife took a sip of tea. "I'm free. I'm very free.

What kind of people are you looking for? "

The village chief's wife was most familiar with the situation in the village. She knew which family's daughters-in-law were used to cheating and which family's daughters-in-law were hardworking and willing to work.

Ye Jinxiu said directly, "I need a few hardworking people. Auntie, do you have any recommendations?"

The village head's wife's smile deepened. "If you trust me, I will help you settle this matter."

She wanted to do this for two benefits. First, she could show her face in the village. Second, she could maintain her dignity as the wife of the village head.

"Of course I trust Auntie. I'll have to trouble Auntie with the recruitment."

The village head's wife had something to hide in her heart. After confirming the matter with Ye Jinxiu, she hurriedly left. Ye Jinxiu sent her all the way to the door and watched the village head's wife leave before slowly walking into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, a sorrowful gaze fell on Ye Jinxiu. Ye Jinxiu looked up but could not find the owner of that gaze.

There were only three people in the room. One was Ye Jinxiu himself, another was Old Madam Ye, and the last was Li Xue.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Jinxiu guessed that the sorrowful gaze belonged to Li Xue. "Mother, is there something you need?"

Li Xue looked at Ye Jinxiu sorrowfully. She looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Ye Jinxiu went forward and hugged her. "Mother, are you unhappy that I asked Auntie for help?"

Li Xue nodded. She was really unhappy.

She and Old Madam Ye were both at home. Of course, the recruitment had to be done by their own family members. How could they entrust such an important task to someone else?

Li Xue thought, "Jinxiu is young and doesn't understand the calculations between adults."

Ye Jinxiu put his arm around Li Xue's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mother, I have my reasons for doing this.

In our village, who do you think has the most authority? "

Li Xue instinctively said, "The village head."

"That's right. Then who do you think has the most authority in our village?"

This time, Li Xue's tone was firmer. "The village head!"

Ye Jinxiu smiled and said, "You see, the most respected person in our village is the village chief. The one who has the most authority is also the village chief. Now the village chief's wife has come to our door to ask for work. If we don't give her work, isn't it equivalent to directly slapping the village chief's face?"

"Mother, you dare to slap the village head in the face?"

Li Xue quickly shook her head. She didn't dare to.

Ye Jinxiu continued, "It's not like there's no benefit in asking the village head's wife for help. Think about it, the village head's wife has always been powerful. The person she finds must be powerful as well."

Li Xue whispered, "Then won't she be a supervisor? I want to be a supervisor too."

Although her voice was soft, it was enough for Ye Jinxiu to hear.

Ye Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh. After a while, he said, "Mother, you want to be a supervisor?"

Li Xue nodded heavily. Ye Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's very simple. When the time comes, we'll build three greenhouses at the back. You can manage one, Grandma Ye can manage one, and Auntie can manage one. What do you think?"

Hearing that she had a share, Auntie Ye smiled and said excitedly, "Miss Xiuxiu, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on it for you."

When Li Xue heard that she had a share, she reluctantly nodded and said, "Alright."

The village head's wife was very efficient. In less than two days, she brought more than ten capable women to the Yeh family's courtyard. After Ye Jinxiu saw them, he nodded and accepted them.

Since the people had been found, the construction of the greenhouses had to be done quickly.

Ye Jinxiu directly asked the village head's wife to find people to help build the greenhouses. She wanted to build the type of greenhouses that could be used to block the wind and rain. It was not too expensive and the materials were easy to find.

The village head's wife found men in the village to help build the greenhouses. She found a total of six men. After six days of hard work, three greenhouses that were about three meters tall were built.

Ye Jinxiu divided the three greenhouses into three areas. One area was used to process the dried sweet potatoes and boiled peanuts, and Auntie Ye was in charge of it. One area was used to process the coarse grains, and Li Xue was in charge of it. The last area was used to process the rice, and the village head's wife was in charge of it.

After two days of preparation, the three greenhouses were officially started. As the supervisor, Ye Jinxiu was often called by people here and there.

"Miss Xiuxiu, do you think the packaging is suitable?"

"Miss Xiuxiu, what do you think of these dried sweet potatoes? Is it not dry enough? Do you want to dry them for a few more days?"

"Miss Xiuxiu, the rice is too messy and difficult to recognize. How about we just put in a type of rice flour?"

… ….

Questions like these were thrown at Ye Jinxiu one after another. Ye Jinxiu took a deep breath and muttered softly, "It's all for the sake of money, it's all for the sake of money, it's all for the sake of money!"

She had to teach them well. She must not lose her temper.

Ye Jinxiu walked into the first greenhouse and took a few bamboo boxes. She smiled and said, "Aunties, as long as these boxes are folded well, you can fold them however you want."

As she spoke, she demonstrated how to fold a paper box and showed it to them.

The village head's wife laughed and said, "Miss Xiuxiu, the paper box you folded is a little too ugly."

Ye Jinxiu's expression did not change. "This is my first time folding something like this."

The young wives beside them interjected, "It's our first time too. If you ask me, Miss Xiuxiu is destined to live a happy life. Look at Miss Xiuxiu's hands, they are fair and fleshy. One look and you can tell that she is a blessed person."

Another young wife added, "Isn't that so? I heard from my father-in-law that a woman's hands must be fleshy in order to be blessed."

The village head's wife did not stop what she was doing, but her eyes were fixed on Ye Jinxiu's hands. "Miss Xiuxiu is 17 this year, right? Has your uncle found a partner for you?"

Ye Jinxiu's hands paused and she changed the topic. "Here, as long as you fold it like this, you will pass."

Ye Jinxiu hurriedly walked out of the first greenhouse and turned to enter the second greenhouse. The workers in the second greenhouse were packing coarse grains. Seeing Ye Jinxiu come, Li Xue said while working, "My dear daughter, is there really someone who wants these things?"

Where did this person come from? Could it be that his brain was fried by paper?

Li Xue glanced at the dried yams and taro in the basket. These things were dry and tasteless. Who knew who would buy them?

Ye Jinxiu pulled a stool and sat down. She took the packaged box and opened it. "Someone wants them. Many people want them."

Opening the packaging, there were a total of four things inside. Each item was estimated to weigh about half a catty.

Li Xue and the others probably felt that the dried yams and other things were not worth much, so they generously filled the bags with items. The bags that originally only held half a catty were now filled with nearly half a catty of items.

Ye Jinxiu's heart ached when she saw this. She hurriedly stopped them. "Aunties, aunties, please stop what you are doing."

She bought a scale for each of them and took out a scale that no one was using. Ye Jinxiu said with a pained expression, "You can't put too much in. Half a catty per bag is enough. Don't put too much in."

An extra bag of three to five taels was a huge loss.

The daughter-in-law sitting next to Li Xue covered her mouth and laughed. "Miss Xiuxiu, these things are not worth much. People will fight to buy them if you put more in."

Ye Jinxiu suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She squeezed out a smile and said, "I spent money to buy these sweet potatoes and taro. If you continue to put them in, I'm afraid I won't have the money to pay you."

Li Xue was unhappy when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and said with a straight face, "Hurry up and unpack them. Put in as much as you need. If anyone puts in too much, don't come tomorrow."

The way she put her hands on her hips made her look like an old landlord. The daughter-in-law next to her could not help but roll her eyes.

Ye Jinxiu naturally stood on his cheap mother's side. He said sternly, "My mother's words are my words."

The daughter-in-law were embarrassed and did not say anything. They thought that an underage girl and a capitalist's daughter would be easy to control. They did not expect them to have such a temper. They kept saying that they would not pay them and would not let them come to work. They really had the face of a capitalist.

The daughter-in-law only dared to complain about Ye Jinxiu and her daughter in their hearts. However, their expressions were very respectful. "Manager Li, Miss Xiuxiu, don't worry. We will definitely do a good job. I guarantee that each bag will be half a catty, not one tael more, not one tael less."

Ye Jinxiu was satisfied with their words. He clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked out.

Li Xue chased after him and grabbed Ye Jinxiu's hand. She said cheerfully, "My daughter, how was my attitude just now?"

Ye Jinxiu held her hand. "Very good."

Li Xue giggled. "You go ahead. I have to keep an eye on them so that they won't take the money and not do anything."

Li Xue shook off Ye Jinxiu's hand and turned to walk into the greenhouse.

Ye Jinxiu really could not do anything about this cheap mother of his, so he could only let her be.

She turned a corner and went to the third greenhouse. This greenhouse was mainly responsible for drying the dried sweet potatoes, boiled peanuts, and packing these two things.

When Ye Jinxiu entered the greenhouse, it was completely silent. No one was talking.

Ye Jinxiu walked around with his hands behind his back and finally stood behind Grandma Ye.

The daughter-in-law stole glances at Ye Jinxiu from the corner of their eyes. When Grandma Ye threw a glance at them, they were immediately frightened and sat up straight. They did what they were supposed to do and looked straight ahead.

"Grandma Ye, do you have enough manpower?"

Grandma Ye pulled Ye Jinxiu to the side and said, "Miss Xiuxiu, I don't need so many people here. You can just send me one person."

Ye Jinxiu waited for her to continue. Grandma Ye paused and said, "It's just a bit of work. I can do it myself. There's no need to waste money and find someone else to do it."

Ye Jinxiu took a dried sweet potato and took a bite. He smiled and did not say anything.

She really did not dare to agree with Grandma Ye's words. According to Grandma Ye, one should use all their strength to order people around. It would be best if they were exhausted to the point that they could not breathe.

Grandma Ye was indeed a nanny who grew up in a capitalist family. With just a few words, she taught Ye Jinxiu several ways capitalists exploited their workers.

Although Ye Jinxiu was greedy for money, her nouveau riche father had said that she needed to use her brain to exploit workers. She must not use the old methods of capitalists.

The methods that Grandma Ye taught her were all the old methods of capitalists. She could not learn any of them.

"Grandma Ye, with you watching over here, I can rest assured."

After saying that, Ye Jinxiu hurriedly walked out. He was afraid that Grandma Ye would catch him and brainwash him.

Ye Jinxiu gave a high salary. In addition, the village head's wife, Li Xue, and Grandma Ye were watching over the place. In less than a week, the Yeh family's cellar was once again filled with goods.

There were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the village. Ye Jinxiu was worried that the items in the cellar would be stolen by the snakes, insects, rats, and ants. He found a time to let a virtual buyer visit.

It was a sunny day. Wu An drove a truck to the Yeh family village. The villagers of the Yeh family village did not often see trucks. When they suddenly saw a truck coming to the village, they all ran over to watch.

Wu An stopped at the entrance of the Yeh family courtyard. He got out of the car and walked directly to the tent at the back of the courtyard.

Ye Jinxiu already knew that Wu An was coming today. When he heard the sound of the car, he walked out.

"Boss Wu is here. Have you eaten?"

As a virtual buyer, Wu An had his own chat system. He smiled like a Maitreya Buddha as he chatted with Ye Jinxiu. "Yes, Miss Xiuxiu. Can you sell your goods? If you can, I will take all of them away today."

The surrounding villagers all pricked up their ears. When they heard the words "take all of them away," they couldn't help but feel envious.

In the past few days, the villagers of the Yeh family village had been paying close attention to Ye Jinxiu. They had already found out everything about the Yeh family's greenhouse.

When they first found out that Ye Jinxiu had hired people to dry dried sweet potatoes and pack dried sweet potato taro, everyone thought that she was crazy. How could she do business with something that no one wanted?

However, only seven days later, Wu An's Boss Wu came and even threatened to take all of the Yeh family's things away.

For a moment, the villagers of the Yeh family village were a little confused. They all thought, "Could it be that the sweet potato taro is no longer sweet potato taro, but gold?"

No matter what they thought, no one dared to go forward and ask.

The villagers of the Yeh family village watched with their own eyes as Ye Jinxiu led Boss Wu into the cellar. When they came out, Boss Wu generously spent money to hire people to move the goods.

Seeing the boxes of goods being moved into the truck, the villagers of the Yeh family village all had their own plans.

Wu An closed the truck's apron and said with a smile, "Miss Xiuxiu, if you have any goods, just stock them up. I will come back next month."

After sending off Wu An, the villagers of the Yeh family village all wanted to talk to Ye Jinxiu. However, Ye Jinxiu was busy putting the new goods on the shelves and had no time to talk to them.

Ye Jinxiu found an excuse to send the villagers away. He went back to his room alone, closed the door, and lay down on the bed.

This time, there were more goods than last time. The dried sweet potatoes were still 500 kilograms, but the boiled peanuts had increased by 100 kilograms. The rice porridge had increased from the original 50 kilograms to 200 kilograms.

Ye Jinxiu took out his virtual phone and categorized everything. After changing the last stock, Ye Jinxiu exited the Taobao shop.

Modern day

It could be said that the fans of Four Directions were living very well these days, and their days were very pleasant.

The so-called Sifang Delicacies referred to people who were addicted to the food of the Sifang Delicacies.

Recently, the owner of the Sifang Delicacies seemed to have gone crazy. He actually restocked all the products that were sold out.

In the past, the Sifang Delicacies's homepage all day long just to get half a kilogram of dried sweet potatoes. However, these few days, their appetites had grown. If they couldn't get five kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, they wouldn't dare to call themselves Sifang fans.

As soon as the delivery arrived, Lin Susu hurriedly opened the package. She tore open the package and stuffed a dried sweet potato into her mouth as she quickly opened the webpage.

The greatest joy in life was eating the dried sweet potatoes of the Sifang Delicacies and reading the comments of the Sifang Delicacies. Watching those who couldn't get the goods scream in the comments section was really appetizing and satisfying.

As usual, Lin Susu opened the comments section of the Sifang Delicacies and skimmed through the first few comments. Unsurprisingly, she saw that the comments section was full of people who couldn't get the goods.

Lin Susu chewed on the dried sweet potato and quickly opened the Vegetarian Club's VIP Group. She took a photo of the delivery and posted it in the group.

She didn't say anything. She just posted a photo and happily stared at the screen.

In less than a minute, the number of messages in the VIP Group increased from ten to ninety-nine in the blink of an eye.

[President!

You're a lucky president!

Please feed me dried sweet potatoes and coarse grains!

I'll definitely, definitely repay you with my body!]

[Oh my god, this is a shocking tragedy!

After receiving the president's notice that day, I started charging my phone and battery bank early in the morning. It wasn't easy to stay up until noon. I connected the cable and internet and waited for the Sifang Delicacies. It wasn't easy to wait for the new goods. I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, I ordered ten pounds of dried sweet potatoes.

After waiting bitterly for three days, the delivery indicated that the delivery had been received, but I didn't receive the goods at all!

Damn it, my delivery was taken by the company's CEO!

President, can you feel sorry for your poor members? Can you give me half a pack of coarse grains?]

[Upstairs, don't make up stories!

President, I have your idol's concert tickets and her latest autographed photo. Please exchange it for two packs of rice porridge!]

[Upstairs, don't make trouble, the president is the most impartial!

President, when will the club's food party be held? Zhang Mu is waiting for the president.]

… ….

Lin Susu loved to see her members begging but not getting what they wanted.

Nevertheless, she still didn't say anything. She directly took a photo of herself drinking rice porridge and posted it in the VIP Group.

[Boycott the president, president is poisonous!]

[Boycott the president, president is poisonous!]

[Boycott the president, president is poisonous!]

[Don't say anything, we have already kicked the president out.]

Lin Susu opened her eyes wide. Those brats are really audacious, how many of them dared to kick me out of the group!

Fortunately, because no one joined the group back then, she had opened close to 10 alternate accounts to join the group. Even though one of her accounts was kicked out, she still had 9 accounts left.

[President's alternate account: I will remember you all!]

[Ahhh, president, look at my pitiful eyes. It is all Secretary Liu's fault, he was the one who heartlessly kicked you out. If you want to blame someone, blame Secretary Liu, it has nothing to do with us.]

[Hands on ears to show our innocence.]

[Hands on chest to show our innocence.]

[Hands on face to show our innocence.]

Lin Susu snorted. Little brat, you actually dared to kick me, you are really audacious!

She took out a few packs of coarse grains, took a photo of them one by one and posted it in the VIP Group.

[Brats, just watch and satisfy your cravings, the president can only help you up to this point.]

[You have been kicked out of the group by the administrator, please re-join the group before sending a message.]

Lin Susu had enjoyed enough of the members' envy, jealousy, and hatred. She pulled out a dried sweet potato and chewed on it as she opened the Sifang Delicacies's comment section.

The first few hundred comments were all good, but when it came to the 507th comment, the style suddenly changed. There was a person called Little Fairy who gave Sifang Delicacies a bad review.

[Little Fairy: I bought a big pack of coarse grains and a square bowl of rice soup. After receiving it, I immediately made a cup of rice soup. The taste is really not good, it is very thin, and there is a strange taste.

At first, I thought that was the taste of the square bowl of rice soup, so I endured the disgust and drank the remaining half of the cup. In the end, I had diarrhea for the whole day and almost got gastroenteritis. The square bowl of rice soup is bad, a hundred bad reviews!

There is also a big pack of coarse grains, I specially opened the big pack of coarse grains to take a look. The store said that each pack has two catties of coarse grains, but my family only has about one catty.

Sifang Delicacies must have become arrogant because of the flattery, right?

What a joke to say that they have no products and can rest assured products.

Personal experience strongly suggests that everyone boycott Sifang Delicacies and buy things with your eyes open.]

Little Fairy's comment had more than a thousand comments. Most of the comments were on Sifang Delicacies's side, and only a dozen or so were on Little Fairy's side.

70's

This was the first time that Ye Jinxiu received a bad review. Her mood did not fluctuate at all, and she felt a sense of resignation.

It was very normal for a Taobao shop to receive bad reviews. Some of the bad reviews were indeed bad reviews, but some were given by competitors or people who did not like the look of it.

Ye Jinxiu was very clear that Little Fairy's bad reviews were deliberately directed at Sifang Delicacies, and not because there was a problem with the Sifang Delicacies's products.

Recently, Sifang Delicacies had been too popular, so popular that it had probably caused the dissatisfaction of many merchants.

If she was still in the modern era, she would definitely take out her computer and hack Little Fairy's IP address without hesitation. Then, she would slap the evidence on her face.

Unfortunately, she was not in the modern era, and the system had many restrictions on her. She was only allowed to log into the Taobao shop, upload new products, and chat with customers with restrictions. She was not even allowed to log into Baidu or Weibo.

If she wanted to deal with Little Fairy, she could only beg Little Fairy to have a conscience and delete the bad reviews, or a kind person to come forward and expose Little Fairy's lies.
