Chapter 333 Development Planning Meeting
On the first day of moving into the new house, as soon as the north and south doors were locked, all the people from the nine clans slept soundly, snoring loudly.
This was also the first time that Shen Youyou and her family of three slept so peacefully since they traveled back to ancient times.
During the journey, we slept in the wild, on wooden racks, in shacks, in caves, in inns, and even in the houses of Tangjia Village. Although they had kangs,
But that was also because you were crowded with a bunch of people, and each kang was full, so you couldn't even turn over. It was not as comfortable as sleeping alone on a big kang at home.
Today we finally don’t have to squeeze together anymore. We can lie on our own kang, feeling as if everything has been resolved. Everyone is sleeping soundly. Our biggest dream is to sleep until we wake up naturally and sleep until dawn.
But how is this possible?
Because the sweet potatoes that Shen Youyou had been longing for were ripe, Shen Zhiqiu went to the fields in Tangjia Village to see them a few days ago. The sweet potatoes in Tangjia Village were growing particularly well this year, and it was obvious that it would be a year of bumper harvest.
In fact, every household does not plant more sweet potatoes, but they do have five or six acres of land. Even if every household digs a cellar, the storage time is limited, and most people will wait for grain merchants to collect them.
However, in previous years, sweet potatoes were cheap, and one cent per pound was considered good. Sometimes grain merchants would lower the price to one cent and two pounds, so five acres of land could not be sold for much money.
Shen Zhiqiu had planned early on that she would harvest all the sweet potatoes in Tangjia Village. If there was any money left, she would go to the surrounding villages to harvest them and make them all into starch before the New Year so that her daughter could use the starch to make plastic shoe soles.
Of course, there are also the jelly stalls in the county town, which can continue to sell for a while while the weather is hot. After all, this is their only way to make money for the time being.
But Shen Youyou will not go from today because she wants to make glycerin.
Glycerol is the key material for making starch plastic.
The biggest feature of starch plastic is that it is made of degradable materials.
This special plastic can be decomposed by microorganisms and can be completely absorbed by the soil and converted into carbohydrates in just about a year. It can also be directly used for compost.
And its products do not contain plasticizers, bisphenol A, heavy metals and other toxic and harmful substances.
No harmful gases will be generated during the production and use process.
Of course, starch plastic can also be recycled and reused in the production process to reduce resource waste and environmental pollution.
In the past, this starch plastic was widely used, such as food packaging, disposable tableware, plastic cups, lunch boxes, greenhouse film, ground film, shockproof materials, toys, etc.
As for why Shen Youyou has to start with the soles of shoes among so many functions?
There is only one reason: they don't have the strength to do so.
If you want to make other things, you need machines. We don’t make fully automated machines. For example, for making plastic bags, even if we make a machine that can use water to press out plastic cloth, it still requires a lot of iron.
They simply cannot afford it now, and if they start too big, their foundation may be unstable, and the first one to stick out will be the one to be shot.
In this age of imperial power, before one has the strength to establish a region, producing more and more advanced things is nothing more than making wedding dresses for others.
As for the voice that Shen Youyou thought of, it is an existence in this era and will not be imitated as long as there are no other time travelers.
Not to mention that after their own people were bribed, the production methods were leaked. Are they the only nine clans involved?
Apart from their own people, their trust in others is limited.
Shen Zhiqiu and Shen Youyou both dared to guarantee that no one would betray them.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if there really is a bad apple. She can make shoe soles, and of course she can make other things. Shoe soles are just the starting point.
After sending off the dozen or so people who were setting up the stalls, everyone went into the cafeteria and held a meeting while cooking.
The cafeteria’s tables and chairs aren’t in place yet, so everyone has to stand.
It’s not that there are no tables and chairs. There is a table and a bench, which is equivalent to the teacher’s “podium”.
Master Shen was sitting, Shen Zhiqiu was standing aside, and several women were still cooking and making pancakes on the stove, but they were able to do two things at once and did not delay their leader's speech while cooking.
Shen Zhiqiu looked around and said to everyone, "Today, except for the elderly who stay at home to look after the children, the carpenters continue their work, and Tietou continues to lead the team to make iron pots.
The rest will go to help Tangjia Village dig sweet potatoes. I heard yesterday that several families planned to dig today. After they finish digging, we will collect all the rest except for those they keep for themselves. "
"middle!"
Shen Zhiqiu waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Mr. Shen also said that what he was going to say next was very important and everyone should listen carefully. As it was about their future livelihood, everyone should not interrupt Shen Zhiqiu's thoughts.
If your brain really isn't working well and you can't remember, you have to wait until Xiao Sanzi finishes talking before asking, and don't make a noise.
In short, the point is that what we are talking about today is very important and there are a lot of things to say. Don't let the old man talk nonsense all the time. You also have to maintain order and he doesn't have the time for that.
After the grandfather made some opening remarks, he took out the money that Shen Youyou and his friends had earned from setting up their stall in recent days, as well as the remaining money from previous expenses.
Shen Youyou and her friends had been setting up the stall for more than twenty days, almost a month. In the first few days, they made five or six taels, and most of the time afterwards, they made around ten taels.
Because it was sold wholesale later, the shiny small coins, a large pile of copper coins, and nearly two hundred taels of silver piled together still looked very shocking.
After all, this money is earned in a month. Even if it is shared equally among each person, it is not enough for one or two taels of silver per person.
But these were earned by kids like Shen Youyou from setting up stalls, and the old ladies could only help make some glutinous rice cakes at most.
This action was more effective than shouting at them to stop arguing, because everyone's eyes were on the money.
But at the same time, there were also sounds of people sucking in breaths. Most of the people from the Nine Clans had been too busy recently. They could only see Shen Youyou taking her brothers and sisters out every day, pulling a few carts of jelly and steamed cakes.
I turned around and came back with an empty cart. I really had no idea that these half-grown kids could actually earn so much money.
If you ask yourself, when they were in their hometown, if everyone in the village went out to find work, they might not be able to earn that much money in less than a month, even in three months.
Shen Zhiqiu had a proud smile on her face. This was earned by her daughter. How could she not be proud? All the arrangements, including opening the market and finding small vendors for distribution, were done independently by the child.
"We are about to harvest sweet potatoes for making plastic shoe soles. We will then sell the soles. This type of sole is strong and non-slip. Most importantly, it can save many people from having to sew shoe soles.
But we can't just do it blindly. When we make money, we need to make it clear how to divide it.
I want 40% of this business, and the remaining 60% will be shared by everyone. Next, I want to talk about how to give it to everyone..." He didn't even finish the word "share".
The whole place was in an uproar. The first person to express his opposition was Master Shen, who completely forgot how he had just scolded everyone for not causing trouble for Shen Zhiqiu.
"Little Sanzi, no way. Didn't I tell you before that you keep 60% and everyone else gets 40%?"
Hunter Gao also objected: "Yes, this division is absolutely not acceptable. You came up with the idea, and you will have to decide how to sell it in the future. How can we get the lion's share?"
