Chapter 177 Prosperity
Fang Tong originally thought that when a wealthy family placed an order, they would just put a little on the table or give it as a gift.
I didn’t expect this wealthy family to be so big!
Shopkeeper Zhao quickly reminded him: "Brother Fang, go back quickly. They want it the day after tomorrow. This is the deposit for me. Do you think it is enough?"
Fang Tong opened the purse and counted carefully: "That's enough, I'll go back and do it now!"
Shopkeeper Zhao wrote a deed on behalf of the wealthy man, and Fang Tong hurried away, driving back to the village.
On the way, Fang Nanzhi heard that her father had received a big order and was very happy. When they arrived at the village entrance, her father stopped the ox cart.
"Your Aunt Liu and the others should have finished their work and gone home by now. Go, my girl, and call them one by one to come to our house and start working!"
The little girl jumped off the ox cart and patted her chest: "Leave it to me!"
He ran to Aunt Liu's house.
Fang Tong hurried home and settled his son first. Qian Fengping saw him in a hurry and was overjoyed when she asked him.
"That wealthy man wants so much?"
"Yes! So we have to work hard today. Money is one thing, and then there's the fact that Shopkeeper Zhao trusts us and has brought in this wealthy client. We can't mess this up. Finally, if we do a good job, we might get a big order in the future. He's a wealthy man, and maybe we can let more people know about it!"
After hearing what he said, Qian Fengping felt that there was hope for the future, especially for the food they made. So far, the shopkeepers in the county have approved of these dishes, and many customers are willing to spend money on them.
Whenever she thought about these things, she felt quite proud, but she was not like Fang Tong, who showed all the pride on his face.
"Mother Qian," Fang Tong wiped his face and came over, "I was thinking, should we hire some more people? I feel like the people we have now can't keep up."
Qian Fengping had no objection: "Yes, although they are happy to earn this money, but they have been working overtime recently, and we can't let them burn out. Let's hire someone!"
In their business, they had to learn from the Fang family's experience, so they had to find someone they could trust and who had a good heart.
After thinking about it, they both felt that the village chief's eldest daughter-in-law, Chen, was a good choice.
"She works efficiently and can endure hardships. That's what I do."
Fang Tong also nodded: "Yes, and she is the daughter-in-law of the village chief. This way, our business will have some connection with the village chief's family, and we can talk about it in the future if there is anything."
"What do you think of Mr. Zhou's daughter-in-law?"
"Sure, what's wrong with that? Mrs. Bai is a smart and hardworking person." Qian Fengping thinks both of them are good.
Fang Tong didn't say it in his heart. He mentioned Bai Shi because Bai Shi lived close to Fang's family. If anything happened in the future and they had any bad intentions, he could serve as a spy.
Of course, there was no need for him to explain this matter so clearly at this time.
"Then Madam Qian, since you are so easy to talk to, I will leave this matter to you!"
Qian Fengping looked at him with a half-smile: "Okay!"
She went to the village chief's house in person and told him about the matter.
Chen didn't even hesitate and made the decision right then and there.
"Do it! I'll do the job!"
Now, everyone in the village knows that the Qin family has made money through business. Liu Cui works from dawn to dusk every day, but she always has a smile on her face when she sees her.
Who would push away the money that is handed to them?
"Okay, then you should know a little bit about our statement. We need the village chief to be a witness and sign a document!"
When Chen heard this, she stopped washing her clothes, grabbed Qian Fengping and headed back: "Okay! Let's go back to my father-in-law and sign it!"
Qian Fengping didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go find Sister Bai and ask her. If she's okay with it, I'll take her over later."
Chen finally calmed down and picked up her own washing basin: "Okay, go ahead, I'll go home and wait for you!"
The Bai family was equally happy. It was getting cold, and they were very happy to have a job to earn money in the middle of winter.
She was even afraid that Qian Fengping would go back on her word, so she quickly followed her to the village chief, and together with Chen, they both signed the documents.
It was the document that required five hundred taels of silver as compensation for leaking the recipe.
Qian Fengping observed the reactions of the two people and found that they were both smiling and not at all forced, so she felt relieved.
I hope you don't mind it.
Dealing with documents does not mean that you really doubt a person's character. You should trust the people you employ, but the importance of the prescription must be emphasized.
After dinner, the Chen family came to help that evening.
The kitchen was already bustling with activity. Qian Fengping was very patient with them and taught them in detail how to make cakes, but of course, only cakes.
For now, only she and Fang Tong know the new cake recipe that they have developed in the past two days, so they will try it themselves first.
A group of people stayed up for half the night, got up early and went to bed late the next day, and worked overtime for the whole day, and finally finished the goods that the big customer wanted.
It happened that at this time, the people from the Fucheng Teahouse, Manager Gou, came to pick up the goods. Fang Tong and his people loaded the car. Before leaving, they also packed some new food and asked Qin Yan to write down the prices of the food on a piece of paper and have someone take it back.
The next day, Shopkeeper Gou's men came, bringing with them the contract and deposit for the new order.
The cake business was booming. When the Qin family's cake business was in full swing every day, the chestnut business was also not bad.
Sun Dacheng took the lead, along with Cheng Xiaohu and several brothers. Each of them brought a lot of chestnuts. They rented a car and came here together to pull the square copper.
The brothers sat in the house, chatting with Fang Tong about harvesting chestnuts, while Qian Fengping led the others to sift the chestnuts.
"Where did you get Xiaohu? Didn't you have a falling out with the village?"
"I collected it in my grandmother's village. My brothers and I are not from there, so it's a bit far."
Qian Fengping took out some roasted sugar-roasted chestnuts to treat them, and they found these sweet chestnuts so rare.
"Brother, this is the first batch I got. If I send you chestnuts later, can you really eat them all?"
Fang Tong raised his chin and said, "Just give it to me. Don't even mention that I can eat it. If I can't eat it, how can I still be polite to you?"
The people here are already experienced in sifting chestnuts. This first batch of chestnuts is not the largest. Once the news of chestnut harvesting spreads to other villages and everyone goes up the mountain, that will be the real start.
"Okay, let's count the money!"
Fang Tong took the purse and paid his brothers one by one according to the price agreed upon before.
This is cash payment!
Everyone's hands were heavy and they were all beaming with joy. With this weight in their hands, they truly realized that Brother Fang Tong had become really rich.
Not only did he make money for himself, he also brought his brothers along, taking care of every one of them.
They have been together for many years and have been said to be a group of bad friends.
Ha, how could there be any bad friends who would take them to live a life of luxury and extravagance but instead take them to work hard to make money!
The Qin family's yard has been too busy these days, and the neighbors can hardly hear what they are saying, but they can see the lively scene clearly.
