Chapter 145: I've already crossed into a book, so I have to do something big (seeking power)
Now that we are in a book, we have to do something big.
"Mom, who said we have to watch it ourselves? Ask someone diligent to come and watch it. If one person can't handle it, ask two. If two are not enough, ask three."
Li Taohua shook her head and said, "Why, have we become landlords? Why do we need to hire so many people? It costs money to hire people."
Lin Xiaoman narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile: "Mom, if hiring someone means being a landlord, then you would have been one a long time ago."
Li Taohua was stunned. "Ah?"
Lin Jingzhe added at the right time: "Mom, you invited Aunt Li, Brother Erli, and our uncles, Uncle Er and Brother Lichun."
Li Taohua waved her hands nonchalantly, "Hey! What's the big deal? Aren't we a family? I like Erli, this kid. Look, when we first came out of the old house, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't know where we would sleep in a dog hole!"
"Mom, that means hiring someone, no matter if they are relatives or not. Think about it, there are only a few of us in our family, but we have to do so many things, wouldn't that be exhausting?" Lin Xiaoman guided her little by little, she wanted to slowly change her mother's mind, "Why do we make money?"
Li Taohua glanced at Lin Dajiang and blurted out, "Eat well and dress warmly."
"Change it." Lin Xiaoman said, "We have already reached an agreement on this."
Lin Dajiang said: "Eat and drink, get sick, don't worry about money, the family is rich, happy."
Lin Xiaoman nodded immediately: "Dad is right. We make money to make our family rich, to have enough food and clothing, and to be happy! But if we work ourselves to death every day, we won't be happy even if we make money."
"And my father once said that the most worrying thing for a village is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. When everyone is poor, they just gossip about other people. But if one family becomes rich and everyone in the village is still suffering, then the rich family may become the object of envy and hatred of the villagers."
Lin Dajiang's mind suddenly became clear.
Well, he said it himself.
It seems that after making some money, his mind has become confused.
Lin Dajiang had a vague idea in his mind, "Xiaoman, do you want the villagers of Shanglin Village to slowly make money?"
"Yes." Lin Xiaoman said, "The rich will help the poor to get rich. When the villagers are rich, they will not be jealous of our family. Isn't that what Dad did in the beginning? He asked the villagers to catch fish and sell them to Ruyi Restaurant. During the Spring Festival last year, most of the children in the village had new cloth to make clothes. But it's hard to sell fish in hot weather. Now every household has to wait for a month to earn money from selling fish."
"But let's sell fish. If one day other villages follow our example and sell at a lower price, Ruyi Restaurant will not be fooled. Over time, they will definitely choose the cheaper one." Lin Xiaoman added, "So we must have other gains."
When it comes to business, only the motivation of interests will make cooperation more deeply bound.
But there are always risks in relying on others.
That’s why Lin Xiaoman wanted to raise chickens and ducks, at least there would be some security.
If she has to rely on others to collect the duck eggs in the future, what if someone does something bad and forces everyone not to sell them to her?
"We have to raise chickens and ducks. Even if we take a step back, what if the villagers and the partners from other villages don't sell duck eggs to us?"
Li Taohua rolled up her sleeves, a little angrily: "Why, there are still people who are holding on to their eggs and not selling them? Aren't they just waiting for them to go bad? No one is stupid enough to do something that would hurt both sides!"
Lin Dajiang thought it made sense.
When people become evil, they can do anything.
"What Xiaoman said makes sense, Taohua, we were planning to build a house anyway, why don't we just listen to the kids. Jingzhe will have to marry in two years, and we're getting old, old woman."
Li Taohua glanced at Lin Dajiang and snorted coldly: "I am not an old woman, you are the old man."
Lin Jingzhe was delighted to see that his father had given in.
"Mom, I won't ask for money from my family to buy the land. I will also have a share of the Lin'an tabloid's profits. I will use that money to buy the land and build the house."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You and Xiaoman should keep the money you earn for yourselves." Lin Dajiang glared at his son.
I really thought that his father was unwilling to take the money!
As long as I'm here, there's no reason for me to let this kid pay!
"Now that we have decided, my brother-in-law and I will discuss it over the next few days. Many people will be building houses in Shadi Village, so let's try to move into our new home in the New Year." Lin Dajiang was so happy that his voice became several degrees louder.
Li Taohua was happy to know that the head of the household would have to look after her brothers, so she thought carefully for a moment and said, "Then you should think carefully about how many rooms to build, how big the rabbit hive should be, and how big the chicken and duck coops should be. Save money where it counts, and don't spend it on useless things. This time we're going to build a storage room in the wing room, so that each of the four children will have a room. Xiaoman and Guyu will get married, so they should keep the rooms too."
Lin Xiaoman quickly followed up with a flattering compliment: "My mother is the best mother in the world."
Li Taohua glanced at Lin Xiaoman and her lips curled up into a smile.
"Xiao Man is the only one in our family who can speak the most flowery words."
Lin Dajiang coughed twice and pretended to be angry and asked, "What about Dad?"
"Needless to say, Dad is definitely the best dad in the world!" Lin Xiaoman used an expression and tone that made Lin Dajiang smile.
In the following days, Lin Dajiang went to the Li family in Shadi Village several times and asked his brothers-in-law for help.
He also asked his neighbors Li Erli and Lin Dahai to collect duck eggs in the nearby villages and paid them according to the number of eggs.
Lin Dajiang took Lin Jingzhe to collect duck eggs from every household in Shanglin Village.
This incident alarmed everyone in Shanglin Village, young and old.
Li Dali and Lin Dahai delivered a basket of duck eggs to Lin Dajiang's home every day.
Li Taohua's two brothers would bring over two or three baskets of duck eggs every other day.
There is also Lin Dajiang, who collected a lot of duck eggs from every household in Shanglin Village.
All the families who followed the Lin family to raise chickens and ducks were smiling happily.
He threatened that when the weather got colder, he would raise ten or eight more chickens and let Lin Dajiang come to collect the eggs.
He had watched with cold eyes before, but now he slapped his thigh, feeling angry and regretful.
No matter what, even if you raise ducks nowadays, it will take half a year for the ducks to lay eggs.
How much money will be lost going back and forth?
The villagers gathered under the crooked tree at the entrance of the village. The people in the east sighed, and the people in the west said something. In short, they all regretted not following the Lin family to raise chickens and ducks.
Especially those who followed Li Erli, they regretted it now.
When they first saw Li Erli bringing back the chicks and ducklings, they didn't take it seriously at all.
"From now on, we will follow whatever the Lin family does!"
"Yes, yes! Look at that Lai Zi's mother and Aunt Wang. They said they would not raise any chickens and ducks at first, but later they quietly raised more than a dozen chickens and ducks without telling anyone."
Lin Xiaoman didn't care what the villagers said, she was busy picking and drying hay!
There was not enough at home, so he asked his four uncles to collect it in Shadi Village.
The duck eggs have been almost harvested, and after selling them for breakfast, the family burns hay at home to make the ash.
After processing the wood ash, add water and stir it, then heat it the next day to make baking soda. The final baking soda powder is stored in a porcelain jar.
However, Lin Xiaoman moved them all to her room, under the pretext of keeping good watch on them. In fact, the baking soda in the porcelain jar had already been put into her space by her.
After being busy for seven or eight days, Shopkeeper Tong and the young master could not wait any longer and drove directly to the door.
The exquisite and luxurious carriage drove into Shanglin Village, and the children at the entrance of the village looked around curiously.
When Shopkeeper Tong asked for the direction of Lin Dajiang's house, a group of children followed the carriage and ran into the village towards Lin Dajiang's house.
