My domineering ex-husband is living off his wife in ancient times.

Chapter 143 Special Personnel for Acquisition

"Sister Luo, now that you've brought this up, I'm really wide awake! Come on, let's go home and talk about it. I have some other fruits there that you can try..."

Cheng Ruoan wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what Luo Niangzi was planning when she suddenly introduced a cook to her.

Others might not be happy about this idea of ​​wanting to take a stake, but Cheng Ruoan has benefited from the feudal society and knows the high-ranking officials and nobles, so he is quite happy that his business has partners.

Her mother's tofu shop didn't have any partners with high social standing, which is why the Yang family was so arrogant in coming to their door.

Now that a grudge has been formed, and since they want to open their doors to do business, it probably won't be enough for Cheng Ruo'an to hire guards.

Cheng Ruoan invited Luo Niangzi to his home and to sit in his small courtyard.

The two hit it off immediately when they started talking about fast food restaurants.

Madam Luo was very straightforward. She agreed that she and Manager Luo would provide the cook, operating funds, and local connections.

In addition to managing the shop, Cheng Ruoan also took care of all the business operations.

After making a profit, the two split it 50/50.

In this respect, Cheng Ruoan actually made a slightly better profit.

She essentially doesn't spend any money outside of the shop; she just waits to make money and then distributes it.

"As for the workers in the store... I'll discuss it with my husband tonight and see if we can send people over for you to choose from, or we can hire them ourselves."

Madam Luo was worried that Cheng Ruoan would provide some amazing menus later, and that the menus would be leaked, so she couldn't make up her mind to hire everyone right now.

Although Cheng Ruoan didn't say what dishes the fast food restaurant offered, who is she?

She is Cheng Ruoan!

Cheng Ruoan's mind is full of ideas for making money!

"Either is fine. It would be best if you and Manager Luo could discuss it and send the person over directly." Cheng Ruoan didn't care, since labor costs were included in the store's operating costs anyway.

All she needs to do is train the shop's workers.

Upon hearing this, Luo Niangzi knew that Cheng Ruoan had entrusted her with the decision-making power for recruiting and selecting workers, and her goodwill towards Cheng Ruoan was overflowing.

"Don't worry, Ruo'an, I will definitely do as you requested. The people I send are all efficient and clean!"

"Okay, I trust Sister Luo."

The two took out another piece of paper and wrote down the clauses that needed to be added to the contract before Cheng Ruoan saw Luo Niangzi off.

"Alright, you've given me so many snacks and even brought them to the front door. That's enough. You can go back now. I'll bring the person and the contract to you later."

Madam Luo beamed with joy; when people are happy, they are in high spirits. Now that she has come out of the Cheng family, she looks several years younger.

He was originally only in his early thirties, but now it would be appropriate to say he's twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

"Okay, then I'll wait for my sister at home."

After the Yang family caused such a commotion at the front shop, Cheng Ruoan lost interest in cleaning the shop herself. She simply asked all the available servants in the house to help with the cleaning, and she took her mother to the backyard to make hand cream with Lin.

I made 1,800 jars of cloud-shaped ointment before, but today I didn't have much lard left, so I made 600 jars of bamboo ointment instead.

Ms. Cheng had never been involved in making hand cream before; today, she was only responsible for filling the bottles.

"My An'an is amazing. The lard she rendered has no strange smell at all, and it looks clear and cool. It looks so nice."

The green bamboo paste has a light green color, which is indeed eye-catching.

"Besides being pretty, it's also very useful. It's very effective in preventing frostbite. I gave everyone in the family a jar a couple of days ago. I also had Xiaocui put your and my eldest sister's jars in your rooms."

Cheng Ruoan felt that the cloud ointment was a bit of a burden for Cheng's mother and Cheng Ruotong, but before her master had figured out the formula for frostbite ointment, this bamboo ointment was good to apply regularly.

Its main function is prevention.

Cheng's mother smiled, revealing her dimples, "It's true what they say, having a daughter is wonderful; she's so considerate."

Lin was a man of few words, but upon hearing this, she thought of her fourth daughter and smiled shyly.

When Cheng's mother saw her like this, she knew that she was thinking about Si Niu.

She nudged Cheng Ruoan, who was busy sprinkling chopped bamboo leaves onto the freshly filled bamboo paste, with her elbow.

Cheng Ruoan: ?

Cheng's mother asked her in a very soft voice, "I think the four members of your family are all good people, honest and quick. If you have any chores you can do for them, please lend them a hand."

"I reckon their fourth daughter's body must have cost a lot of money to fix."

Cheng Ruoan understood that what Cheng's mother wanted to express was that "parents who love their children plan far ahead for them."

She nodded: "There are plans. We'll tell them when they get back tonight after they've collected the pigs."

As expected, the three of them drove back that evening.

The mule cart was full of large bamboo baskets filled with pork fat.

After unloading the cargo, it was almost time for dinner.

For six adults and two children, dinner consists of six meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, and two soups, plus unlimited white rice.

Aunt Zhang always cooked the meals, with Xiao Mian'er and Xiao Cui'er helping out.

Cheng Ruoan had casually mentioned a couple of cooking tips before, namely that you have to be willing to use plenty of oil and seasonings.

Sure enough, Aunt Zhang's cooking is quite good now.

The Cheng family was used to chatting while eating, and for a while, the dinner table was very lively.

The video shows Cheng Ruotong vividly describing her experience of collecting pork fat. She says that the first village she visited raised prices on the spot. Even though there was still pork fat stored from the pigs slaughtered a couple of days ago, they wanted to bundle it with other products and made Cheng Ruotong and her team buy up all the pork that couldn't be sold.

“They wouldn’t let us leave the village if we didn’t buy it, but as soon as your brother-in-law made a move, they begged us to leave. When they left, they even gave us a basket of pork fat with gritted teeth.”

Cheng Ruoan found it amusing. "Some people are just asking for trouble. They can't understand when you speak properly. They only feel comfortable after they've been beaten and lost everything."

"is not that right."

Cheng's mother: "Which village did you collect the lard from?"

Cheng Ruotong: "It's Xiaojiagou, which is separated from Sijia Village by a mountain. They belong to the neighboring county, but it's far from their county seat. To get to Songshan County, you have to cross another mountain. The mountain road is difficult to travel when it rains, so butchers don't like to go there to buy pork, so their pigs are all unsold."

“But the pigs raised in their village look pretty good. They’ve put a lot of effort into them; the pigsties are clean, and the pigs are growing better than those in other villages,” Shao Yang added at the right moment. “The only challenge is getting them out.”

Cheng Ruoan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

We can go and collect pork and lard regularly. Anyone can go if the weather and road conditions are good.

If the weather is really bad and the pigs still need to be transported out, she can just make a trip using her spatial ability, since the distance isn't too far anyway.

Shao Yang had the same thought in mind, so he gave her a meaningful look.

Cheng Ruoan swallowed the food in his mouth before saying, "Transportation is no problem. We're not butchers who have to transport live pigs out to slaughter and sell them on the spot."

It's the same as having the villagers slaughter the pig and then transport it out.

"However, if we want to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Xiaojiagou, we'll need someone specifically to handle this acquisition."

As she spoke, Cheng Ruoan looked at Si Silang.
