Chapter 338: Chapter 325: Buying Shares

“[Yes, every time the marriage stone grows, it brings good luck to the host, but the duration and degree of the luck boost are uncertain.]

In other words, it depends on fate.

So that’s how it is.

Zhuang Qingning understood and nodded slightly.

A stone that can bring good luck suddenly didn’t seem so bad. If it stays well and I promise not to throw it again, then so be it.

Zhuang Qingning, smiling, quickly walked towards the shop to discuss with Mrs. Cao what is still needed in the backyard and what can they move from Mrs. Deng’s house.

Once the sweet potato glass noodles were made, Zhuang Qingning found time to visit the county town and searched for Ding Gaochang, asking him to try the taste of these hot and sour noodles.

“Delicious, it’s really delicious!” Ding Gaochang couldn’t help but exclaim.

“If this food can be sold widely throughout the county, this business would need a lot of sweet potato glass noodles, and we would not have to worry about the sweet potato supply.”

Zhuang Qingning smiled and nodded, “That’s exactly it. These glass noodles can be stored for a long time once dried, even for a year and a half, which makes it very convenient to transport them to other places.”

Besides, these glass noodles can not only be used to make hot and sour soup but also for cooking, stewing, or making cold dishes. They are all delicious. I’m also entrusting a chef I know to develop this new dish. Once the recipe is out, and the way of eating it is gradually spread, everyone will know how delicious these noodles are.”

“Yes, Miss Zhuang’s words are very true.” In Ding Gaochang’s eyes, there was full of admiration for Zhuang Qingning.

“It’s true that sweet potato glass noodles can be made, and I can teach the skills, but have you ever thought about how Miao Village can ensure the consistent quality and quantity of these glass noodles, Master Ding?” asked Zhuang Qingning.

To be honest with Miss Zhuang, I have been thinking about this very issue.”

Ding Gaochang frowned when he was asked by Zhuang Qingning, “Each family has different people and tools, and their understanding of the manufacturing process may also be different, so the quality of the noodles made will inevitably vary.”

“If we intend to sell them, while the superior ones could earn money and reputation, if they are inferior, not only might they not make money, but they could also lead to damage to our reputation.”

“Although people would be able to distinguish them as time goes on, I am afraid we won’t have the chance to wait for that time. If the noodle business is not going well, the villagers might not be able to persist.”

“For a moment, I really can’t come up with a good solution.”

Zhuang Qingning smiled faintly and said, “Has Master Ding ever considered bringing together everyone in the village to open a large workshop, using the same manufacturing process and tools, and having a special person to control the quality of the glass noodles at the end? This way, it would be possible to ensure the consistency and quality of the glass noodles.”

“That would be one way, but these glass noodles are a new thing, and people outside might not be willing to make this business, and I’m afraid we can’t find anyone in the village who has the background to take on this matter.”

Ding Gaochang pondered, “From the cost of the workshop’s tools, workers’ wages, to the money for buying sweet potatoes, it’s not a small sum. I really can’t tell if we could afford it…”

“Master Ding knows the logic that one can take advantage under a big tree, but how can you forget also that little strokes fell great oaks?” Zhuang Qingning grinned.

“You mean…”

“If there is someone who can handle this matter on his own, that would be the best. If not, there is another way. There are many households in the village. If all the households are brought together to jointly invest in this matter, it’s not impossible.”

Zhuang Qingning continued, “Each household bases their investment on the quantity of their sweet potatoes as the principal, as the silver stock, pooled together to grind the pulp, dry it, make glass noodles, then sell the noodles. The money earned from selling, after paying for the sweet potatoes and the wages for the workers, any extra profit can be distributed based on the initial proportion of stock each held.”

“In this way, the workshop could be opened, and each household would not only consider their daily wages but also the extra silver money to distribute. The better the workshop business, the more they distribute, the more motivated they will be, and the workshop could flourish.”

“And to prevent someone from taking over the workshop when business is good, an agreement can be made in advance that the investor should be a villager, and there should be a maximum limit on the investment. This way, no household can monopolise, preventing any dispute in the future.”

“As for me, I can provide the initial recipe and craftsmanship, a long-term supply of the secret sauce that enhances the flavour, and some cooking tools, to ensure the workshop could start and continue operation. All these are valued as a silver stock, and I will share the profits then.”

Zhuang Qingning laughed, “I’m a small business person who always thinks about making profit, so I won’t stand on ceremony here.”

How much silver money to distribute, Zhuang Qingning didn’t pay special attention to. She would not mind even if it decreased or was not there at all.

The workshops under her direct operation could feed her and Zhuang Qingsui in the future. Even if they’re not rich, they would at least not have to worry about food and clothing.

But she must have a share of the stock, and it has to be reasonable.

With this, there will be no misconception about her being too generous. It would be irrational if someone took her for granted in the future.

The most critical point is to gain as much labor value as possible.

As a shareholder, she is one of the owners of the workshop. The value created by the workshop in the future will add to her labor value.

Paying back the system’s debt is the top priority!

“Miss Zhuang, don’t joke around.” Ding Gaochang laughed at Zhuang

Qingning’s last comment, “Everyone in the world is motivated by benefit. It all depends on whether it is attained in an ethical way. You deserve it without any reproach.”

“Furthermore, Miss Zhuang, you have come up with such a good plan and made such delicious glass noodles. Your contribution is invaluable. It’s already generous and kind of you not to charge more.”

“I think Miss Zhuang’s thoughts on this matter are very good. If Miss Zhuang has some free time these days, we can together…” Ding Gaochang paused, then changed his words, “If Miss Zhuang is available, I will bring Village Chief Miao to visit you and discuss this matter in detail.”

Zhuang Qingning has put a lot of effort into this matter, and if he and Miao Hongjin don’t specifically visit, it would seem like they are not taking her seriously. This could make the people of Miao Village look down on Zhuang Qingning.

Moreover, Ding Gaochang is not very willing to take the road to and from Miao Village, especially not willing to let Zhuang Qingning take it again..
