Chapter 172 Arranging Business

Next, just wait for the manufacturing space to produce something.

Li Youquan came out of the manufacturing space and entered the planting space to take a look.

At present, the work at the steel rolling mill is going smoothly. After the last meal, Director Han has appointed Xu Damao as the buyer of the steel rolling mill.

Xu Damao was quite sensible and brought things home every few days, which made Li Youquan's respect for him worth it.

However, apart from sending the things in this planting space to the steel rolling mill, no one could help him send them to Jichun to sell, and he was unable to spare the time for the time being.

So he thought of Old Zhou in the middle courtyard. He was an honest carpenter who never participated in the fights in the quadrangle.

He also has a three-year-old grandson, and the two depend on each other for survival.

Carpentry work is not available every day, and Old Zhou's life is not rich.

It would be better to let Lao Zhou do this job.

Li Youquan only needs to move the things in the planting space out and hand them over to Lao Zhou on time, and ask him to deliver them to Jichun.

However, in the first few times, Li Youquan might have to take Lao Zhou to the Jichun market, rent a stall for him, and the two of them would just have to split the profits on time.

Anyway, these vegetables, fruits and melons have no cost to Li Youquan, so it is a sure profit for Li Youquan.

Thinking of this, Li Youquan decided to talk to Lao Zhou about this matter tonight.

The strawberry seeds planted in Li Xiaoxuan’s backyard last time have now grown into a strawberry field.

Li Youquan picked some strawberries and asked Guard Xiao Meng to deliver them to Honghong and her father. He also took out some wild game from the breeding space and asked Guard Xiao Meng to deliver them as well.

It was time to get off work, and Li Youquan came to the gate of the steel rolling mill and got into the car of driver Xiao Wei.

Through the car window, he saw Bai Ling squatting on the ground looking at her bicycle.

It looked like her bicycle had run out of air.

Li Youquan did not get off the car, but asked the driver Xiao Wei to hand the key of his bicycle to Bai Ling.

Li Youquan's bicycle was parked in the yard. Since he got a car, he rarely rode a bicycle.

Looking from the car window, Bai Ling originally refused, but the stubborn Xiao Wei forced it into her hands.

She glanced at Li Youquan's car but did not catch up.

After the driver came back, Li Youquan ordered the driver to drive back to the courtyard.

When passing by the middle courtyard, Li Youquan saw Lao San's grandson and handed the child a box of strawberries.

Old Zhou rushed out and stopped them, saying, "Be obedient, kid. Don't take other people's things! Grandpa will buy you whatever you want to eat!"

Before he could finish his words, his little grandson had already eaten the strawberry.

After eating, he handed one to Lao Zhou: "Grandpa, try this strawberry, it's so sweet!"

Li Youquan is the oldest and said, "It's okay, let the child eat it! I'm giving it to the child."

"I came here today because I need your help!"

Old Zhou put down the work in his hands, wiped his hands on his apron, closed the door, and moved a stool for Li Youquan.

"What's the matter? Is there any furniture missing at home?"

Li Youquan looked at the pair of clear eyes embedded in the wrinkles on Lao Zhou's face. After observing him for these days, he concluded that Lao Zhou was an upright and honest man.

Li Youquan waved his hand: "No, I have a business that I want you to help me with. I wonder if you are afraid of hardship?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Deputy Director Li, if you need any help, please let me know. My greatest strength is that I am not afraid of hardship!"

"Look at all the furniture in this room. I polished them bit by bit."

"If I'm afraid of hardship, my job as a carpenter would be in vain."

Then, the smile on Lao Zhou's face gradually faded, and he said to Li Youquan.

"What's the point of just enduring hardships? I'm old and can't keep up with the times. My hands are shaking so much that I can't use them. I'm working slower and slower. Look, the work from a month ago is still piling up."

After hearing what he said, Li Youquan looked around and found that although there were a lot of furniture, the workmanship was simple and the styles were mostly old. They were probably not worth much.

When he glanced at the food on the table, he saw that there were only vegetables but no meat.

How can this child not eat meat at such a young age?

At this time, the three-year-old grandson was staring at the wild rabbit meat in Li Youquan's hand.

Feeling sorry for the child, Li Youquan put the rabbit meat on the table.

Looking at Lao Zhou again, he moved his lips, wanting to refuse, but couldn't bear to do it. He just looked at Li Youquan gratefully.

Li Youquan picked up a small stool beside him and said to Lao Zhou: "How about this, I plan to rent a stall in Jichun, but I need you to help me bring some vegetables and fruits to sell."

Old Zhou looked at his grandson and said, "Is what you said true? This job is good, but I'm afraid no one will take care of my grandson."

Li Youquan looked at the sweet child in front of him. At over three years old, he was old enough to go to nursery.

It would be better to ask Yan Bugui to help and send the child to the Red Star Nursery.

Thinking of this, Li Youquan told Lao Zhou about this idea.

"Don't worry, leave the child's affairs to me."

Hearing this, Lao Zhou nodded with emotion, but still expressed his concerns: "Deputy Director Li, I have been a carpenter all my life, and I have never sold vegetables and fruits. I am worried that I will ruin your business."

Li Youquan said confidently: "I have already investigated the market. My goods will definitely sell well in Jichun. What are you afraid of? I will cover the loss for you! I will just go for it boldly!"

"But I am worried about your health. I wonder if you can find a suitable helper?"

Lao Zhou pondered for a while and thought of someone.

"I have a nephew who I watched grow up. He learned carpentry from me for a few days, but he is not good at carpentry. He is cheerful and clever. Why don't I ask him to join me? Don't worry, his wages will be deducted from me."

Li Youquan nodded, finally feeling relieved: "Okay, that's great, I'm confident about your relatives!"

"Then let's get started. You can just finish the work you are doing. When you are done, come to my house and I will take you to rent a stall."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Old Zhou nodded dutifully.

Afterwards, Li Youquan told Lao Zhou his idea, and the two discussed how to split the profits.

For Lao Zhou, selling things is hard work, but it is a good thing for him to increase his income.

Besides, when selling things in the market, you can be protected from wind and rain, and you can also benefit from your nephew.

After Li Youquan left, Old Zhou stewed a pot of rabbit meat for his grandson.

"Child, after eating this meat, you must remember to be grateful!"

"I got it, Grandpa! Uncle Youquan is such a good man!"
