After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 530: Prosperity and Rush Production

"Brother, do you have any new wedding candles? Leave a pair of new wedding candles for my family!"

The people shouting were the villagers who had just arrived. They did not come late on purpose. They also rushed here in the middle of the night, but the road was too far, so they arrived only now.

Jiang Dalang said, "There are still forty-nine pairs left, and I can only sell them to forty-nine people. The rest have not been bought yet, so I have to wait until tomorrow!"

Soon, the remaining forty-nine pairs of new wedding candles were sold out.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Dangdang Dangdang!

Liang Zhi banged the gong wildly and shouted, "Today's new wedding candles are sold out. Sold out. Come back tomorrow!"

But Liang Zhi's voice had gone from hoarse to hoarse, but more and more people were gathering on the open space on Xinkufang Street.

Everyone thought: "If we sleep on the floor for one night, we can get in front of the line tomorrow and buy new wedding candles. Otherwise, we will have to buy the old ones that cost more than 100 coins a pair, which is a big loss."

"Yes, yes, yes. Those candles that cost more than a hundred coins are the lowest-quality old wedding candles. Not only are they ugly, but they are also few in number and hollow. They go out while burning. It's very unlucky!"

"Look at the pair of new wedding candles in front of the shop. I heard they were lit a quarter after 9am in the morning, and now it's afternoon, and they're still burning!"

In short, everyone stayed and had to sleep on the floor overnight and wait to buy new wedding candles.

"If you buy it, you'll earn fifty cents!"

Because the new wedding candles were nearly fifty cents cheaper than the lowest quality old wedding candles.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Fellow villagers, delicious and cheap kudzu flour cakes, two large ones for three cents, two people can pool their money to buy them, and you can have a full meal for only one and a half cents, come and buy them!"

"Kuzu starch and cabbage soup, with some meat oil and eggs, two cents for a large bowl!"

"Multi-grain steamed buns, soft and filling multi-grain steamed buns, with soybean paste..."

"Fried vegetarian meatballs, three cents for a fist-sized one, and one cent more for cabbage and kudzu root soup. Only four cents for a meal with a good combination of dry and liquid food!"

The Lu family came here early to set up stalls and make a lot of money. A group of villagers had already closed their stalls and went home to rest, and this group came out to set up stalls again after returning home, seeing more and more people gathering, and continued to make money.

When the clerk Guan came over to check out the situation, he saw this prosperous scene and felt his mind open up… If the Great Wei could have more people like the Qin family, there would be countless more such lively scenes in the world.

Guan Shuli was very impressed and spent money to buy a bowl of kudzu powder and cabbage porridge.

While he was eating, Chief Lu saw him and said happily, "Guan Shuli, you are here. What a coincidence! I was just about to talk to Mr. Xue about something with the Silifang Office!"

The clerk asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

Chief Lu said, "The villagers from other towns are going to sleep on the floor here, waiting to buy new wedding candles. There are both men and women. To ensure safety, I want to separate the men and women into two areas, and then send my sons to help keep watch at night, so that no bad guys can sneak in and harm the female villagers, otherwise this happy event will turn into a bad one."

The clerk nodded and said, "Patriarch Lu is right. We should indeed send someone to keep watch... You are so thoughtful. Let's go and find Master Xue together."

Patriarch Lu was very happy and proud, and he boasted secretly: "This is a business between the Qin and Xue families. My family and Brother Qin's family are relatives, so naturally I have to do something to help."

Guan Shuli heard it, but did not expose it. Instead, he echoed it, which made Chief Lu even happier.

In just over a quarter of an hour, the clerk Guan, the Lu family, and the Xue family had arranged for the male and female villagers to sleep on the floor and for people to keep watch at night.

The Lu family also sent two old women over fifty years old to keep watch over the female villagers.

Of course, it is paid, twenty cents per person per night.

The Lu clan leader refused desperately, saying: "The Lu family has already received a lot of benefits. If we take more money, what kind of people will the Lu family become?"

"The old man took the initiative to bring this up because he wanted to help out for free, not because he wanted to steal work from the Lu family to make money!"

Finally, the wages were reduced to fifteen cents a night.

It's because Mr. Xue knows very well that only by paying people can they work hard. If you just offer help, others will just fool you.

After the deal was settled, Patriarch Lu immediately arranged for people to keep watch.

The Xue family also sent a manager and a waiter to register the villagers sleeping on the floor, and said: "After registration, they will come to buy new wedding candles in the order of registration, so there is no need to worry about being cut in line!"

When the villagers heard this, they rushed to register and were willing to sleep on the floor in the new place.

I didn't move before because I was afraid that after I left, the front seat would be taken away by someone else.

It was not until the evening that the villagers were finally settled.

There were also some scattered villagers who kept coming here. Liang Zhi and his colleagues were busy until midnight and almost died of exhaustion.

……

The Qin family in Gui Village worked all night to make new wedding candles. There were many servants, so by daybreak they had made a thousand pairs of new wedding candles.

Including those made yesterday afternoon, there are a total of sixty-eight boxes and two thousand and forty pairs of new wedding candles.

Early in the morning, Xue Juan and his wife arrived with a convoy and delivered the pine oil they had bought. Fearing that the Qin family would not be able to harvest enough pine oil, Xue's family sent people to buy pine oil.

After unloading the pine oil, Xue Juan and his team quickly loaded sixty-eight boxes of new wedding candles onto the truck and said, "Master Qin, I'm afraid these won't be enough to sell. We have to speed up production. When we first came out, we learned that it's not just families who are having weddings who are rushing to buy wedding candles, but also families who are celebrating birthdays and holding banquets for their children."

"Celebrating birthdays? But these new wedding candles all have the word 囍 written on them." Qin Xiaomi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Tell those who are celebrating birthdays, such as the full month or hundred day celebrations for babies, to come back in half a month. By then, we will have red candles with the words 寿 and 福 written on them."

"Yes." Xue Juan and his wife responded and left with the convoy.

The business of new wedding candles was so prosperous that Qin Xiaomi mobilized half of the female workers in the workshop to help make new wedding candles.

The women workers were very happy to make the new wedding candles, and said, "It is a good thing to help a married family."

As they were talking, they came to the topic of the fine for not getting married: "This year is really strange. It's already the middle of June, and why hasn't the county government issued the document for paying the fine for not getting married? In previous years, it was issued in March or April, and the fine had to be paid on the first day of July. You won't be allowed to delay for even a day."

Because this is how they pay every year, even if the documents haven't been issued this year, everyone is busy marrying off their daughters, for fear that if they get lucky, they will end up in tragedy and have to pay more fines.

Qin Xiaomi was also very curious, but they were not afraid. Even if they had to pay more fines, they could afford it... So it was necessary to work hard to make new things and make money. Only with money could one be so confident!

In the afternoon, Xue Juan and his wife came again and asked, "Master Qin, how many new red candles have you made? Let's take another cart. A group of people have an auspicious date set for later, so we have to set off today to hurry back."

Qin Xiaomi was surprised: "Two thousand pairs of new wedding candles are sold out?"

Xue Juan's wife smiled and nodded: "They were all sold out before noon. It was because of the requests of those families who were going to have weddings the day after tomorrow that my servant and I had no choice but to come here."

Because of this, Brother Jiang was a little angry, and said that Miss Qin had been rushing to make new wedding candles since last night and had been busy with them today, so she had to take a break.

"There are still thirty boxes. You can take them all away." Qin Xiaomi took them to get the goods.

Xue Juan and his wife were very happy and hurried to the town with the new goods.

Jiang Dalang did not follow, but stayed at home to help, and advised Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, leave the rest of the work to me, you go to sleep."

In her previous life, sometimes Susu didn’t even need to say a word to do something, her subordinates would understand her intention and get things done.

Now he has to do everything by himself, which is too hard and it makes him feel distressed.
