After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Although Wei Laosan said that the residual poison from chickens and ducks has basically returned to normal, Yan Qingqing is still worried.

So he called Li Xiangan and said to him: "You have time tomorrow to catch two chickens and ducks, and then go to Dr. Zheng's Renshan Hall and let him see if there are any remaining poisons in these chickens and ducks."

After hearing this, Li Xiangan quickly agreed and then said: "Mom, if those chickens and ducks are detoxified, can our shop be opened?"

Yan Qingqing nodded and said: "It's time to open after being delayed these days."

Li Xiangan said angrily: "It's all the fault of Tietou's family, otherwise there would be so many bad things. They really repay kindness with hatred."

Seeing his cynical look, Yan Qingqing consoled him: "There is a way of saying that people die for money and birds die for food. Some people's hearts are broken and there is no way to save it. Fortunately, we also received compensation from Chen Ji."

Thinking of the 2000 taels of silver compensated by Chen Ji, Li Xiangan felt better. Then he said again: "Then I will ask Wang Dong and we will go to the city tomorrow and clean our shop by the way.

Mom, you don’t know that Wang Dong has been very anxious during this period. He often runs to our house to ask me when the shop will open. I asked him to go home and wait for news. He said that he couldn't just follow Uncle San and the others to plant trees for our family while taking his wages for nothing. "

Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "So you see there are still many people with conscience."

The mother and son chatted for a while before Li Xiangan went out.

The next day Li Xiangan came back from the city with a beaming face. You knew it was a good thing without asking.

Sure enough, Li Xiangan said to Yan Qingqing: "Mom, Doctor Zheng said these chickens and ducks are no longer poisonous and can be eaten with confidence. And we have cleaned the shop."

Yan Qingqing was naturally happy after hearing this. The business of their shop has always been very good. After the Chinese New Year, most of the shops have opened. If their parents are closed during the long hours, their business will be affected.

Li Xiang'an thought for a while and then said: "Mom, when we went to our shop today, there was a man who poked his head in. Wang Dong and I caught him. He said he came to see you because our shop was not open, so he was there every day. Waiting."

Yan Qingqing was a little surprised. She had never been to the shop at all. Who would go there to look for him? Could it be Chen Liu? This was the first candidate she could think of, but she shouldn't think about it. Chen Liu wanted to If you look for her, you will definitely come to her home, and Chen Liu and Li Xiangan also know each other.

Seeing that Yan Qingqing couldn't remember who it was, Li Xiangan reminded him: "He said his name was Xue Xiaowu, and he turned out to be a guy from Yinlou."

After being reminded by Li Xiangan, Yan Qingqing instantly remembered that wasn't he the boy who was in charge of the bank and was snatching orders.

When Yan Qingqing saw that he was a good talker, she wanted to lure him into her shop, but Yan Qingqing really didn't know that his name was Xue Xiaowu. It seems that he can't stay in Yinlou any longer.

Yan Qingqing said: "Did he say anything?"

Li Xiangan shook his head and replied: "No, I just said that I came to see you and helped us clean the shop for a long time."

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and said, "Next time if he comes, just ask him if he is willing to work in our shop. The treatment will be better than others."

Li Xiangan knew that his mother had always had a good eye for people, and this Xue Xiaowu must be something special, so he immediately agreed.

After only two days, the shops in the city opened. Yan Qingqing thought that business would not be as good as it was a year ago, so with Li Xiangan, Li Xiangbao and Wang Dong in the shop, they should be able to keep busy.

But unexpectedly, the business was extremely good on the first day of opening. Although it was not as good as before, it was still a good deal on Buhou Street.

When Li Xiangan returned home, he happily handed the 80 taels of silver he earned to Yan Qingqing and said, "Mom, the shop is really busy. Why don't you let me stop what I'm doing and do business with us for a few days?"

Li Xiangan originally wanted Li Xiangjian to go, but he knew that his mother had special arrangements for his third brother. The third brother was now practicing martial arts and studying as hard as he could, and his mother even specially made a training place for him in the mountains. Not in front of Li Xiangjian.

Knowing that the three of them were too busy, Yan Qingqing readily agreed, and then said: "You can post a recruitment information in the shop and recruit a few boys. Our family is not short of this money now, and I plan to Buy some servants.

When you have time, go to the dental shop first and look around to see if there is anything suitable. "

Li Xiangan never thought that his family could afford servants. After Yan Qingqing reminded Li Xiangan, he realized that their family was really different from what it used to be.

It's good to have a few servants in the family. At least his mother doesn't have to work so hard, and their family does have a lot of work. Maybe their business can expand even more if they buy the servants.

I have to say that Li Xiangan knows Yan Qingqing best when it comes to business, and she does have plans in this regard.

Li Xiangan asked: "How many servants do you plan to buy? What kind of servants do you want? You can give me a general idea so that I can have a direction. I can tell you no when I talk to Yaxing later."

As for how many Yan Qingqings to buy, I really haven’t made a detailed calculation, but there are many people in my family who want to buy more. So I said: "We definitely need a sweeper or a boy in each yard. In addition, your sister-in-law Now she has to take care of the housework and manage the embroidery workshop, so she must have a capable helper.

Yu Niang and Yueniang are both grown up girls, so they need a maid by their side. Also, Xiao Qi is too young and if I want to be free, I must have a capable person by her side.

Shiro and Mo Chen are both young, so they need to have a book boy by their side. In addition, you who go about doing business every day are short of things, so you can't do everything by yourself, so you need a groom.

In addition, we also need to train a few servants and maids who can help both inside and outside the business. "

Yan Qingqing said a lot in one breath, and Li Xiangan was dumbfounded. How many people would he need to buy? I'm afraid it will take dozens of mouths. Judging from his mother's tone, this is still a reduction.

Li Xiang'an took a deep breath and asked, "Mom, are you sure you want to buy so many people? It's a big expense to buy these people."

How could Yan Qingqing not know this, but still said with certainty: "These are all things that must be bought. This is also a process that a family must go through for development."

In fact, their family should have bought it a long time ago, but the family was too busy and they had always lived in the village, so they didn't think of it.

After hearing Yan Qingqing's words, Li Xiang'an no longer hesitated and said, "In that case, I will go to the tooth shop tomorrow to ask. Then you can go pick it out in person, mother."

Yan Qingqing knew that Li Xiangan was very busy when the shop opened, so he asked him to take a rest quickly.
