This time, Liu Yifeng had just finished talking about road construction with his father.
Seeing that it was Manager Wan calling, he immediately answered, "Hello, what can I do for you, Manager Wan?"
"I have good news for you. The vegetables you sent this morning have all been sold. Bring me another three hundred jin of various vegetables tomorrow." Wan Hui said excitedly on the phone.
Liu Yifeng was also very happy to hear this, "Really? That's great. Don't worry, I'll deliver them to you on time tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now. We'll talk face to face tomorrow." Wan Hui said and hung up the phone.
"Whose call was it?" Liu Chunsheng asked from the side.
Liu Yifeng smiled and said, "Didn't I send the vegetables to Longteng Hotel this morning? He just called to say that all the vegetables have been sold, and asked me to send three hundred jin of each kind of vegetable tomorrow."
"This is really good news. For every jin of our vegetables, after deducting 1.5 yuan for Boss Du, we can still earn 10.5 yuan per jin. The total of 1,200 jin of vegetables will be 12,500 yuan. After deducting costs, we can earn at least 10,000 yuan!"
"This is just the beginning. Our family's vegetable business will get better and better in the future. Once the vegetable sheds are done and the vegetables are harvested, making tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands a day will be a piece of cake. Just wait and enjoy the good life then!" Liu Yifeng laughed.
Liu Chunsheng couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that in just one month, our family would change so much. This is something I never dared to dream of before."
"That's why Tongtong is our family's little god of wealth." Liu Yifeng rubbed Tongtong's head.
Tongtong looked up at Liu Yifeng, his innocent face filled with childish curiosity, "Daddy, what is a god of wealth?"
Although he was much smarter than ordinary children, he didn't understand everything, especially words he hadn't encountered before.
Liu Yifeng smiled and explained, "A god of wealth means that our family has become better and better because of your arrival. If it weren't for you, Dad wouldn't have been able to raise such big crayfish, nor would he have been able to grow watermelons and vegetables so well. So, you are our family's little god of wealth."
After listening to his dad's explanation, Tongtong immediately said, "It's Daddy's good genes that make Tongtong so smart."
"Hahaha, my son knows how to talk." Liu Yifeng burst into laughter.
"Look at you, so smug. I didn't give birth to you. Without me, there would be no you, and without you, there would be no Tongtong." Liu Chunsheng said with a deliberately stern face.
These genes were passed down from generation to generation, and he had his share of credit!
"Yes, yes, yes, it's still Dad's genes that are good!" Liu Yifeng nodded in agreement repeatedly.
"That's more like it." Liu Chunsheng looked proud, showing no embarrassment.
This made Tongtong, who was standing nearby, chuckle, covering his mouth and secretly laughing.
"By the way, Dad, we can't handle so many vegetables. The hotel's demand will definitely grow in the future, so I want to hire a few people to work and pay them a monthly salary." Liu Yifeng suddenly remembered something.
Liu Chunsheng immediately nodded, "Yes, the workload is not ordinary. Even if we hire people to help, they can only help once or twice. We can't always ask them to help for free. However, how much do you plan to pay them per month? And how many people are you going to hire?"
"Currently, the workload is not particularly large. I plan to hire three to four people, with a salary of 1,200 yuan each per month."
"1,200 yuan per person, so 4,800 yuan for four people. That's acceptable. Our family can afford it. It's not early now, you should go and hire people right away, otherwise, it will be too late." Liu Chunsheng urged. He didn't want his son to get tired just for the sake of making money.
Liu Yifeng glanced at the time, it was already three o'clock, indeed not early, so he prepared to go and hire people.
Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, his father called him back, "By the way, who do you plan to hire? Your third aunt and the other aunties are idle at home, you can ask them first if they are willing to work. Otherwise, if you hire someone else without asking them, they will be unhappy."
"Dad, I know. I'll go ask them now." Even if his father hadn't reminded him, Liu Yifeng would have thought of the same thing. Hiring outsiders is still hiring, so it's better to hire family members. They are all women from the village and are no worse than others at farm work. Moreover, family members will work more diligently and with more responsibility.
With that, he went to his third aunt's house, which was closest to his own. At this moment, his third aunt was cleaning the courtyard. The peanuts in the field had been harvested, and she was picking peanuts in the courtyard. However, the ground was full of dirt and withered peanut leaves, so she just swept it a little, otherwise, she really couldn't stand it, and there was no place to step.
"Third Aunt, are you home!" Liu Yifeng walked in and greeted her.
Hearing Liu Yifeng's voice, Li Rongfang immediately stopped what she was doing and smiled, "Why are you here, Yifeng? Come in and sit."
"I won't sit down. I'm here to ask for your opinion on something." Liu Yifeng waved his hand.
Li Rongfang asked curiously, "What is it?"
"It's not a big deal. I want to hire a few people to help me pick vegetables and pack them, with a salary of 1,200 yuan per month. You work when there's work, and rest when there's no work. There will be bonuses for good work. I wonder if you're willing to do it?" Liu Yifeng said directly.
When Li Rongfang heard this, she nodded repeatedly, "I'll do it, I'll do it. The peanuts at home are almost done, and it's not the harvest season now. I'm idle at home anyway. If I don't earn money, I'd be a fool!"
"Alright, then it's you, Third Aunt. I'll go and ask Auntie and Second Aunt for their thoughts. If they are willing, I'll find someone else casually. Then the four of you will work." Liu Yifeng said.
"No need to ask, they will definitely do it. If you still need one more person, you can find Fatty Aunt. Although this woman is fat, she is efficient at work, and can do the work of two people." The reason Li Rongfang recommended Fatty Aunt was not because they were particularly good friends. It was purely because she worked fast, and with her around, they could do less work. They all received the same pay, so why not find someone capable? Liu Yifeng knew Fatty Aunt. She was 1.6 meters tall and weighed as much as 160 jin. However, she wasn't this fat when she got married; on the contrary, she was very thin. She became fat after giving birth, especially after her husband was disabled in an accident and could no longer walk normally. Therefore, the heavy burden of the family fell on Fatty Aunt. Under the dual pressure of life and spirit, Fatty Aunt's endocrine system was severely imbalanced, so she became fatter and fatter. But Fatty Aunt was exceptionally hardworking and enduring, so hiring her was a good choice.
"Alright, I'll go find Fatty Aunt now. As for Auntie and Second Aunt, I'll trouble you, Third Aunt, to tell them. After Fatty Aunt and I have talked, we'll gather at your place, and then we'll all go to pick vegetables together. I'll tell you the specific details then." Liu Yifeng nodded.
Li Rongfang smiled and agreed, "Okay, you can leave the two of them to me! By the way, I heard from people in the village that the watermelons you grow are big and sweet. You let the villagers come to your house to get watermelons. I wonder if I'll have the good fortune to have one?"
"What are you saying, Third Aunt? If others have it, can you not have it? I'll send a few over later. Those watermelons are too big, it's inconvenient for you to carry them." Liu Yifeng had intended to send some when he came earlier. But since it was inconvenient to carry, he planned to drive over later to deliver a few to his relatives.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Li Rongfang said with a smile. People are so pragmatic. When Liu Yifeng hadn't become rich yet, she never even looked at him directly. Now that she saw Liu Yifeng was capable, her words became polite.
Immediately, Liu Yifeng arrived at Fatty Aunt's house. When Fatty Aunt learned of Liu Yifeng's intention, she immediately expressed her willingness to work. She was the only laborer left at home now, so she naturally had to seize any opportunity to make money.
Afterward, Liu Yifeng brought Fatty Aunt to Third Aunt's house. Auntie and Second Aunt had already arrived. Seeing Liu Yifeng, they both smiled and got up to greet him. Liu Yifeng didn't waste any time. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he directly led them to the vegetable field, gave them some instructions, and then let them start working.
