However, he promised to send the buckets to her house as soon as possible.

She had been buying a lot of wooden buckets from Mr. Jin these days.

By the time they arrived tomorrow, there would be a total of 180 wooden buckets at home, including the twelve in Ruyi Restaurant.

This amount should be enough.

There were enough buckets, but what she was worried about was that there were not enough people to make cold cakes.

She was supplying cold cakes to Wang Shuanzi and Li Laishun, so they would need a lot. The eatery would be open from morning to night. The sales volume would be quite high. At this rate, their house would become a small factory.

When the eatery opened, Aunt Wang would be in charge of it. At that time, there would be one less person at home to help out.

…..

With only she and Erya holding the fort, they still had to go to set up the stall in the morning. They would probably be exhausted.

She had to hire someone in the village.

After chatting with Wang Shuanzi and Li Laishun for a while, Lin Xiaoyue quickly went to look for Liu Shi.

“Mom, business is getting better and better. I’m afraid we can’t handle it. 1 want to hire someone to help at home. Do you have anyone in mind?”

“We do need to find someone to help.”

“Why don’t you ask Aunt Jiang?” She asked Lin Xiaoyue after some thought.

Aunt Jiang and her daughter had been helping them feed the cattle and collect firewood.

They took their work seriously. They always collected enough ingredients.

Aunt Jiang’s family had a good relationship with the Wang family. Aunt Jiang often brought her children to their house.

It was only after her family started the cold cake business that the number of times they came to visit decreased.

“I’m afraid Aunt Jiang alone isn’t enough.” Lin Xiaoyue said after thinking for a moment. Liu Shi was puzzled.

“I’ll hire one more person tomorrow! After Aunt Wang goes to the shop, we have to hire more people!”

“Then, one of them will stay at home to help Erya make cold cakes, and the other will follow me to the town to set up the stall.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“Eh, 1’11 think about the details later. 1’11 tell you about tomorrow’s plan first.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Liu Shi said.

“Tomorrow, Shuanzi and Laishun will order a lot of cold cakes. 1 have already promised them that 1 will prepare 4.0 buckets for them in the morning and 4.0 in the afternoon.” Liu Shi was surprised.

“40 buckets?”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Yes. The two of them are going to work together. They’ll ride the ox-cart to the nineteen villages behind Daishi Village.”

“They are all big villages with a lot of people living there. 40 buckets of cold cakes might be sold out in one trip.”

Liu Shi nodded and motioned for her daughter to continue.

She could sell 4 to 5 buckets a day at home. This was the case even before they went to the fields. If they went to the fields to sell, they could sell even more.

Not only could Shuanzi and Laishun wander around the villages on the ox-cart, they could also go to the fields. They would definitely sell a lot.

Hence, it was not impossible to sell 40 buckets of cold cakes in one morning.

“I think they’ll be back early tomorrow afternoon. I’m afraid Erya and Aunt Wang won’t

be able to make it in time to make the cold cakes they wanted in the afternoon.” Previously, when she, Aunt Wang, and Wang Erya worked together, it would take more than two hours to make 40 buckets of cold cakes.

She would have to stay in town while Aunt Wang and Wang Erya return to Daishi Village to prepare the cold cakes in the afternoon. They would definitely not make it in time..
