Song Sanniang's Journey to Wealth

Chapter 178 Recruiting People and Buying Horses

"Hurry up, kid. If you wait any longer, how long will you have to wait in line?" a woman urged her teenage child.

"You two should go and have a look. Try it first and see if it works.

If I meet the requirements, I will be the first one to go. ”In a house in the capital, an old woman said to her son and daughter-in-law,

"Dad, let's go and take a look. If he's selected, our family will have two sources of income.

I heard that working in Tianmi Mimi gives you four days off a month, and you get food and accommodation, and you get gifts and money for festivals. What great conditions! A woman said to her husband,

"Sister, do you dare to give it a try? They accept both men and women. I saw some women lining up to try their luck." A boy who was about to sign up to run errands at Tian Mi Mi said to his sister.

People from all over the city gathered to come to Tian Mi Mi. In order not to affect the business of the store, Song Sanniang placed a table outside the back door of the kitchen. All the people lined up in the alley, but the line also stretched directly to the street.

Song Sanniang's plan was to place six people in each district of the city, a total of 24 people. She planned to have 12 men and 12 women.

First, exclude those who are thin, those who look unclean, and those who have shifty looks.

On the first day, perhaps everyone was still waiting and watching, so only a few people came. Song Sanniang only accepted an aunt whose family was in financial difficulty.

She looked hardworking and capable, and her hair was neatly combed and her nails were clean.

The next day, more people came, but most of them didn't pay much attention to hygiene. There was dirt under their nails and their clothes had a strong odor that you could smell when you got close to them.

Song Sanniang did not tell everyone about her selection criteria, although some people who were not selected would complain a little.

However, Song Sanniang would always tell them that they might have another chance if they were short of manpower in the future, and these people had nothing to say. On this day, she recruited eight people.

Today is the third day, and there are more people, but there are still not many women. Song Sanniang has received fifteen people in three days.

There were still nine people missing, and it would take about two days to collect all the people, but she had also registered some of the people she thought were good, so that she could find them again if there were not enough people.

After two days, Song Sanniang had recruited enough people. There were four areas, and each area had three men and three women, one old, one middle-aged and one young.

In fact, forty is still a prime age in modern times, but here it is considered old. Among these people, Song Sanniang specially selected three who could drive a carriage.

Song Sanniang called these people together, told them what she wanted them to do, and then talked about their treatment and things they could not violate. Then everyone signed an employment contract, and everyone had their height and waist measured. Song Sanniang wanted to make sweet delivery uniforms for them.

Without online ordering, Song Sanniang planned to adopt the most primitive method, which was to shout from street to street like Qin Haodong did before, and distribute customized sweet takeout orders to every household.

Those who need to order takeout can place an order directly with the errand runner, or they can post the takeout order at the door.

The sweet people will check the area they are responsible for every once in a while. If there are any orders, they will collect them and give them to the errand runners to go back to the store to place the order and then deliver them.

Because it is still in the planning stage, any problems will be solved later.

However, Song Sanniang also needed to buy two horses and two carriages to facilitate the delivery of more takeout or urgent orders in the future.

So Song Sanniang and Song Laoer went to find Huang Gui again. When Huang Gui heard that Song Sanniang wanted to buy a carriage, he smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close. He took the father and daughter to see the horses in the store.

At that time, there were actually many kinds of horses, including brave horses, steed horses, mules, etc. Different kinds of horses had different uses.

For example, Jima is a good horse with excellent breed, uniform body shape, beautiful appearance and excellent athletic ability. These are the mounts of nobles and superiors.

A Xiaoma, also known as a Xiaoqi, refers to a warhorse that is strong, brave and good at fighting. Xiaoma has a strong physique and excellent endurance, and is suitable for military operations and wars. These were regulated in ancient times, and civilians had no right to own them.

In fact, the father and daughter knew nothing about horses, but with Huang Gui around, they were not worried. Knowing that the two were just looking for a horse to run errands in the city, Huang Gui recommended a white horse with strong hooves that could handle long runs and heavy labor.

Song Sanniang and her daughter picked a red horse and a yellow horse, and the carriage they chose was also the simplest.

However, this order is enough for Huang Gui to get a commission from renting out ten houses. Huang Gui is really grateful to his good cousin for introducing him to such a good customer. He plans to give his cousin a generous gift when the time comes.

In this way, Song Lao Er drove one carriage by himself, and Huang Gui's master helped drive another carriage. The two newly bought carriages stopped at the door of Tian Mi Mi.

Fortunately, there is a special place to store carriages in Le'anfang, otherwise it would be difficult to store the three carriages at home at night. When they learned that the store bought two carriages, everyone ran out to see them curiously.

Liu Zezheng and the others were eager to ride a horse for a while. Song Sanniang also felt that it was time for everyone to learn how to ride a horse. Although it was not necessary to know how to ride a horse to drive a carriage, it was better for everyone to know how to ride a horse in the future to be on the safe side.

She planned to arrange for everyone to take turns to learn horse riding after the store's takeout business was on track. Thinking of this, she felt that Qin Haodong and the other two should also be transferred back.

Now the shops in the county can operate normally without them, so she wrote to Qin Haodong and asked them to come back.

The second young master of the Jin family is getting married, which is a big event. The Jin family is shopping for all kinds of things needed for the wedding.

The Jin family specially arranged for Song Fugui to come to Tianmi Mi to discuss cooperation with Song Sanniang. The Jin family planned to invite Song Sanniang and others to make desserts for the wedding banquet. This was a big order, so Song Sanniang discussed it with Jin Fugui.

Because the people in the Jin family had eaten the food in Song Sanniang's shop and the snacks she had sent them before, so when Jin Zhengan got married this time, they wanted the egg yolk pastry and snow meringue that Song Sanniang had prepared last time.

Their banquet is divided into three rounds. The first round is the night before the wedding, which is called "starting the fire", followed by lunch and dinner on the second day.

Therefore, Song Sanniang and her friends were required to prepare desserts for three meals, which should include egg yolk pastry and snow meringue, and the rest was up to Song Sanniang to arrange.

The first night of the Jin family's banquet was to invite close relatives and family members, so sixty tables were set up, so only sixty tables were needed.

But there were 199 tables for both meals the next day, so Song Sanniang needed to prepare so many desserts.

Because the wedding was still a week away, Song Sanniang planned to go home tonight to think about it before deciding what to do.

So she and Jin Fugui found out what dishes the Jin family had prepared for the banquet, and then asked Jin Fugui to come the next day to continue the discussion.
