Novel Full Chapter 1195 Meeting the woman in red again
Yu Dong was very sure about this, if they increased their stock then the novelty in the hearts of their customers would vanish and then they would start treating their vegetables in the same manner as the ones that were sold outside the mall.
They needed to continue maintaining the feeling of novelty in the eyes of the customers only then they would buy the vegetables as if they were really precious.
After she finished speaking she turned to look at Shen Li and said, ” Li, I will leave the matter of arranging the food and water counter outside the mall. Take a look at the profit that we have made and then use half of it to open porridge and water counters at the north and south gates.”
This was not the time for her to keep everything to herself, if she was earning ten thousand taels then she needed to take out two thousand taels for the refugees as well.
If not then her mall could get attacked at any time! It was better to share beforehand than to be forced. At least this way she and her family would be able to gain fame in the town as ‘kind-hearted’.
The officials of the town might be thinking that the refugees or the commoners who cannot get food or water would not do anything against them but Yu Dong knew how hunger could drive someone crazy. She had seen people eating the rotting corpses to fill their bellies, attacking and robbing grains was not a big thing.
It was better to control the situation from the beginning than to watch it slowly get out of control.
Shen Li understood why Yu Dong was asking him to open the porridge and water counter. He nodded and then turned to look at Yu Tong who promptly spoke up, ” We have made a profit of fifteen thousand taels, I will take out three thousand taels and then open the counter at the two gates?”
Yu Tong was the one who was in charge of collecting and putting the money in the wooden cabinet under her counter.
” I think three thousand taels is fine for the time being,” stated Shen Li with a pondering look in his eyes. ” If we take out more money, everyone would think that we have a lot of money and that will only push more attention to our family, we are not afraid but we have a village to take care of, we cannot allow anyone to target the entire village because of us.”
” Brother Li is right,” Ye Liu who was keeping an eye on the finances nodded as well. ” For the time being just use three thousand taels and open counters for food and water around the town, if we think that it is not important then we will think about how to add more food and water.”
They need to make sure that no one would think that they had a lot of food or water in their village or else they would be targeted.
” Very well. I will arrange a few mammies who can cook and then ask them to open the counters tomorrow morning,” Shen Li was the one who was in charge of the matters in the house thus once he heard everyone’s opinion, he decided to use the starting three thousand taels for the time being no matter what kind of profits that they made.
Yu Dong hummed as she turned to look at Chen Mi who was hesitating to say something.
“What’s wrong?” She asked him.
” Wife, I want to eat fresh pork belly and pork hock. Can we?” Chen Mi was hesitant as he was worried that Yu Dong would think that he was being too much of a glutton. After all which family butchered an entire boar because someone in their family wanted to eat fresh pork belly?
Yu Dong smiled as she flicked his forehead and then said, ” Just this much? I can still let you eat fresh pork belly. Once we go back I will ask Sister Ying to butcher another pig.”
It wasn’t as if she could not keep the pork meat fresh.
Since there was nothing to be worried about why should she not fulfil the wishes of her husband?
Just as they locked up the main gates of the mall and headed out of the building, Yu Dong saw the woman in red walking toward her with a smile on her face. She was holding a wooden box in her hands which looked like a lunch box.
” Miss Yu.”
Yu Dong looked at the woman with her brows furrowed. She looked at the woman who was dressed in red and motioned to her husbands who nodded and then walked over to the carriages.
Only then did Yu Dong turn to look at the woman and ask, ” Whats the matter?”
The woman in red robes smiled at her with amusement flickering in her eyes and then sidled up to Yu Dong before saying, “It’s nothing Miss Yu, I heard from others that your first day was really good. I bet you had a lot of profit?”
” It was all right. I can’t say that it was good or bad.”
” Ahahaha, with such a crowd how can there be no profit?” The woman smiled with a knowing look in her eyes. She looked at Yu Dong and then handed her the wooden lunch box. ” This is something that my husband cooked, I don’t know whether you will like this but I would like to befriend you given that your business is so good. Maybe one day we might become business partners?”
Yu Dong glanced at the box before taking a glance at the woman. She then took it and then said, ” Thank you.”
” There is no need for you to thank me. From now on we are going to run into one another many times. There is no need to be strangers. It seems that you are returning home, I will not disturb you, Miss Yu.”
“Good night.”
