Chapter 149: Shortage of People
Liu Dahua also said: "Yes, A-li, I see that Erya's family is busy every day, but they are still a little overwhelmed. If there are more people, the ointment will be made faster. And if the demand for the ointment increases, it will not be enough if you just make it."
Shen Li thought and said, "Yes, but there is no reliable person. Mother, you know that our distillation equipment needs to be kept secret. If it gets out, we will have nothing to rely on. Then many people will come to make ointment, and our business will not be able to continue."
"Mother knows, but I can't find anyone I can trust."
"It would be great if second brother was here, so we could have one more person. You said he has been gone for more than two months, and we don't know when he will be back. I miss him so much." Shen Li sighed.
"Yes, I don't know whether your second brother succeeded in becoming my disciple or not." Liu Dahua said.
"Don't worry, mother. If second brother hadn't succeeded, he would have come back long ago. When he left, didn't he say that he would be back in a few months? I think it will be soon." Shen Xing said.
Shen Li was afraid that Liu Dahua would worry: "Third brother is right, mother, second brother will definitely succeed in becoming a disciple, so don't worry."
Liu Dahua nodded: "What should we do now?"
Shen Li had no choice but to say, "Just make do with it for now and take it one step at a time."
Shen Xing also said sadly: "It would be great if Fang Tianya could come to us. Didn't he say that he would belong to you for the rest of his life? He must be reliable. Unfortunately, we don't know if he can come back. The most important thing is whether he will come to find us. Ah Li, do you think he will come?"
"If he can survive, he will definitely come to us."
"You just believe him that much?"
“I think he’s a man of his word.”
Shen Xing sighed: "I hope it's like what you said, otherwise our one thousand taels will be wasted."
"Third brother, just help others. It would be best if you can get something in return. If not, just consider it as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
Shen Xing rolled his eyes at Shen Li: "You are noble."
"Then didn't you want to help him in the first place? Otherwise, why didn't you stop me?"
"Can I stop you from doing what you want to do?"
Shen Li didn't want to argue with him, so he turned to Liu Dahua and complained: "Mom, look at my third brother, he wanted to help at the beginning, but now he blames me."
"Third brother, you are also an enthusiastic person and you definitely want to help. How can you blame Ali?" Liu Dahua said.
Shen Xing was helpless: "Mom, I don't blame her. I support her in everything she does. I trust her intuition."
Shen Li curled his lips: "Really?"
"Of course, I don't support what you do."
Shen Li said proudly: "You are sensible." After saying that, she began to worry again. What should she do when she is short of people?
If it really doesn't work, you can only hire people from outside and hide the distillation equipment, that is, build a wall inside the workshop to separate the equipment, and then put a lock on the door. Only reliable people can distill essential oils, and others can only do other work.
In this case, it is just an extra layer of defense. If someone really sneaks in and is plotting, he will see it sooner or later. However, even if he sees it, he may not be able to imitate it because he does not understand the principle. Unless he has seen everything over a long period of time, there is still a possibility of imitation.
All in all, recruiting people from outside still involves taking risks.
It is not yet at the point where we must recruit people. We can keep an eye on it first. When the sales channels in Xiezhou Prefecture are opened up, we may really have to recruit people.
But if she is lucky enough to meet a reliable person, then this problem will be solved.
Shen Li expressed his idea, and both Liu Dahua and Shen Xing agreed. Shen Xing immediately took action and found someone to build a wall to separate the equipment.
Then Shen Li and Li Erya decided to stop working for a day. They covered the distillation equipment with cloth and asked Li Liehu to watch it. Then Shen Xing could lead people to build the wall.
After a busy day, the wall was finally built. Shen Xing bought a very sturdy lock in the county. There were three keys, one of which was for Shen Li.
Liu Dahua gave one handful as a spare, and gave the other handful to Li Daya, which made it convenient for their family to make ointment.
After wasting a day building the wall, the men resumed making ointment.
Shen Li had been busy for a while, but now everything was back on track and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did she remember that she wanted to go see Guan Wenyi's mother and Qin Yueying. After all, she had promised them to take good care of them. Although she did not really go, she had entrusted the matter to Liu Dahahua.
"Mom, have you visited Aunt Guan and Aunt Qin these days?" Shen Li thought it would be better to find out the situation first.
"I went there yesterday. Your Aunt Qin is very nice. She has started to study cooking and asks me how to cook every day." Liu Dahua said.
It is noon now, and the mother and daughter are resting in the house together, which is a rare occasion.
"What about Aunt Guan?"
"She never took the money I gave her, saying that supporting Guan Wenyi's studies was a huge favor and she must not take any more."
Shen Li sat up from the bed: "Mom, how does she live?"
"It seems like she is collecting some dirty clothes from the county and bringing them back to wash. I see her hands are a little red and swollen, and I always see her washing clothes by the river." Liu Dahua also got up and said, half leaning against the bed.
"Doesn't their family have any land?" Shen Li asked.
"The land is only a few acres at most. It's good enough to be able to pay taxes. How can there be any surplus food?"
Shen Li frowned: "Mom, I promised Guan Wenyi that I would take care of her mother. How can I let her suffer like that? I am a bit of a traitor."
Liu Dahua sat up from the bed: "Ali, she is a strong-willed person and won't take our money. When we were poor, I also wanted to help people wash clothes, but your brothers disagreed, so I didn't do it. But this job is hard."
Shen Li took Liu Dahua's hand and said, "Mom, it's a good thing you didn't do it at the beginning, otherwise your hands would be even harder to take care of. But now it's much better. I gave you the facial cream, and you should rub your hands well. I believe that in a short time, your hands will be very smooth."
Liu Dahua also looked at her hands: "It's all thanks to A-Li, otherwise how could my hands be maintained, they would only become rougher."
"A-Li will make more money in the future, and then buy a lot of maids to serve mother, so that mother doesn't have to do anything, and her hands can be healed."
"It's good like this now. There's no work that hurts your hands."
Shen Li touched Liu Dahua's hand and thought of Guan's mother again. No, she had to go there in person: "Mom, I'll go to Guan Wenyi's house to take a look."
Liu Dahua knew that she would be worried if she didn't go and see for herself, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead."
