It's Li Mumu's younger brother again. Li Mumu said it's true, so it must be trustworthy.

Zhang Caiping felt that since Li Youkang had done so much work, and it was not done for Li Mumu alone, but to reduce the burden on the three of them, there was no reason for Li Mumu to pay alone.

But Li Mumu said: "This time it was my selfish intention to ask Youkang to help us. I should pay for it. When our business grows in the future and we need to recruit more workers, what about Youkang and the workers' money?" , it will be deducted from our costs."

"You would always rather suffer a loss..." Zhang Caiping really wanted to deduct it from their costs instead of letting Li Mumu pay for it herself.

"Second sister-in-law, just listen to me this time." Li Mumu said with a smile, "And I believe that it won't be long before Youkang's wages won't need to be paid by me."

Everyone understood what Li Mumu meant. It won't be long before their business will become even bigger.

"Besides, I am the only one who spends the money I earn now. But unlike you, the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, there are also children." Li Mumu added.

"Okay, this time, we have taken advantage of you." Zhang Caiping said, "I hope it won't be long before we can expand our business. When the time comes, we will recruit employees and Kang will take care of them."

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

Li Mumu also has her own considerations. She needs someone she can trust.

Of course she can trust people from the Gu family.

But the people in the Gu family are senior to her, so she can't just leave it to them to do anything she encounters.

Whether it is for Gu Shangyong to do it or for Gu Shangwei to do it, it is not appropriate.

Unlike Li Youkang, he was her younger brother, and it was easy for him to control him.

Besides, Li Youkang is trustworthy and diligent.

Li Mumu wanted to train Li Youkang to be his right-hand man.

"If you do a good job, I will let you be the shopkeeper in the future." Li Mumu said to Li Youkang.

Li Youkang scratched his head and said, "I will definitely do it well."

"I will definitely not let my family know about this." Li Youkang said proactively.

Gu's mother secretly thought that Li Youkang, this kid, does know what's appropriate.

Li Mumu was not mistaken.

Li Youkang couldn't stay here for long, so he and Li Mumu agreed on a time to come here every day and hurried home.

He quietly entered the yard and heard Li's father and mother Li discussing with Li Youcai and his wife in the house.

"Mom, what should we do if Li Mumu refuses to give us the secret recipe?" Li Youcai said, "Just watch her make money for the Gu family? We can obviously make this money, but I can't swallow this breath."

"If she doesn't give it, can't we steal it?" Mother Li said.

"Steal? How?" Li Youcai asked.

"I asked about it and found out that the brine she sells is made from a pot of brine. She does not throw away the pot of brine. She boils it every day, adding water and ingredients. It is said to be a pot of old soup. The more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes. ." Mother Li said.

"In that case, let's steal her brine." Mother Li said, "We won't leave a drop of it for her. She found out that the pot of old soup was gone the next morning, and she had to make a new pot of brine. Say, how can the new smell be as good as the old one?"

"When we set up a stall and sell the same things, hers will definitely not taste as good as ours. Aren't all the customers coming to our house?" Mother Li made a good calculation.

"Wonderful!" Madam Zhang took the opportunity to praise, "Mom, you have an idea. Then I will go to the town to buy some sewer water and bring it back. We will cook it tonight and sell it tomorrow! If we sell it late, give me It would be bad if Li Mumu has time to prepare the brine again."

"Yes." Mother Li nodded, "Go quickly."

After saying that, he saw that Mrs. Zhang was reluctant to move.

Mother Li looked at her and said, "Aren't you going to buy some water? Why aren't you leaving?"

"Mom, you have to give me money." Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.

"Aren't you rich? I give you separate household expenses every month, and you still ask me for money?" Mother Li said displeased.

"How can the little money you give me be enough for my family? Besides, I still save money so that Tie'er can study." Mrs. Zhang said, "Before you took care of the Gu family, it was so difficult to provide for children to study, and our family couldn't farm all their lives. ? As long as we offer Tie'er, our family will be able to enjoy the blessings!"

"I think you just have nothing to lose." Mother Li took out a purse from her arms unhappily.

He took out three pennies from it and said, "Here."

"Mom, are these enough?" Mrs. Zhang said, "Wouldn't it be better if we cover all the meat stalls so that Li Mumu has nowhere to buy them?"

Mother Li blinked and thought for a while, this idea was really feasible.

There are a total of two meat stalls in the town.

Zhenweilou’s toiletries are all collected from those two families.

The larger one mainly supplies Zhenweilou, with a lot of goods and plenty of water left over every day.

In addition to giving some to Zhenweilou, the other store also sells some scattered items to the people in the town. The stall is smaller and the goods are less.

There is naturally less water left every day.

Li Mumu always buys goods from that small stall.

Since I don’t need much, I go to a small stall to get round rolls, the price is more reasonable.

"I'll go see if there are any small stalls, but they've probably all been bought by Li Mumu." Zhang said, "If there are any, I'll buy them too. Then I'll go to the big stalls and buy as much as I can." At that time, Li Mumu will have nowhere to buy it."

Mother Li thought that Li Mumu couldn't buy water and couldn't do business, so she gritted her teeth and took out another 5 cents, plus the 3 cents she took out before, a total of 8 cents was placed in the palm of her hand.

Mother Li's eyes were fixed on the 8 cents of money in her palm, and her hand holding the money was shaking with distress.

He slowly stretched out his hand towards Zhang, with a cautious attitude as if he would take his hand back at any time.

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips, thinking that just these 8 cents would cost Mother Li her life.

When Mother Li's hand stretched out and before it was fully in front of her eyes, Mrs. Zhang was afraid that Mother Li would regret it, so she quickly grabbed the money from Mother Li's palm.

Mother Li subconsciously stopped her hand and wanted to hold the copper plate, but she was still one step slower than Zhang.

Zhang curled her lips, put the money away, and then said: "Mom, these 8 cents are enough to cover everything. That big stall has a lot of stuff, and there is a lot of leftovers, so this little money is definitely enough." Not enough to buy it all.”

"Are you going to give him as much as he wants?" Mother Li scolded in displeasure, "You prodigal bitch, don't you know how to bargain?"

Zhang's face turned dark immediately, she stood up and said with a fake smile: "Even if you make a counter-offer, you may not be able to buy that much. Let me give it a try."

"Why not? It's not valuable. Even if you don't buy it, he will throw it away. If you ask me, spending money to buy this is a waste!" Mother Li said.
