151 Chapter 151 A Good Idea
“I guess you can call it that way, but it’s not that complicated to hand out flyers. These beggars can get a meal with their work too.”
“You’re right.” Father Gu coughed twice and added, “I came here today to ask for your help.”
“Do say, and we will definitely help if we can.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
Because he wasn’t surprised, Father Gu knew that Zhou Ying had most likely told Gu Chengrui about him looking for them. He openly declared his request, “Do you know that your Aunt Liu and Second Aunt are running a pastry shop?”
!!
“I’ve seen them selling royal desserts and pastries.”
“Yes, but it’s too expensive and hard to sell in this small town, so I...” Father Gu was a little embarrassed when he said this.
But in the end, he continued, “So, I am here to ask Zhou Ying if she has any ordinary dessert recipes. Otherwise, I’m scared that the small shop won’t be able to survive.”
“I can only discuss this with Zhou Ying, as I don’t know the details.”
“Please hurry up. I’ll head back for now.” Father Gu stood up and said.
“Alright, I’ll give you a reply tonight.”
When she arrived at the manor, she immediately found Chang Shun and told him about the matter. She asked, “Uncle Chang, what do you think?”
“It’s a good idea. There’s no work in the village now, and the strong laborers are going to the labor market daily for work.”
“But now that it’s getting cold, there’s not much work on the dock. If we can build a workshop, it’ll solve a big problem. The best thing about this is that we can work all year round.”
“Alright, this matter is settled then.
“However, beans are scarce in our area because of the bean sprout hype this year. We’ll use what we have in our own restaurant this year.
“We’ll expand the production when the river opens tomorrow and import beans from other places.”
“What about the beans for this year? Do we buy them from the grain shop?”
“We do have to buy some, but I’ve saved some before. When the workshop is done, we’ll use those beans first.”
“Alright, where should we set up the workshop?”
“Let’s set it up in the second courtyard first. We’ll build a workshop next year when we’re renovating the house, so you have to maintain the house well for now.”
“Sure, don’t worry.”
“That’s all. I’ll leave the recruitment to you, so remember to find someone who has difficulties at home but is clean and tidy.”
