The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

   Chapter 45 45 Cooperation

   After several people had eaten, Zhou Jia stopped Li Yu, "Miss Li, I want to talk to you about business cooperation, would you like to?"

   "Mr. Zhou, you said." Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia and sat back.

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, "I just saw the schoolbag you made for Ah Qing, I think we can cooperate, I have shops in Qingshan Book City and next to Qingshan Academy, you are responsible for making the schoolbag, and I am responsible for selling it. , I can also sell the bean paste and tea oil you made to the restaurant, what do you think?"

   Li Yu thought for a while after listening, "Mr. Zhou, how do you think we should cooperate?"

   "Let's work together to sell bags!" Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu in confusion,

Li Yu continued, "For example, to make school bags, we have to involve the customers who buy the bags, how old are they, whether there are more adults or more children, and the issues of buying cloth to make cloth shells, tung oil and hiring people to process them. , how should we divide the responsibilities, how should the profits be distributed, and of course it would be best if you help me sell my Doubanjiang, how should we calculate the expenses incurred in the middle?"

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and felt that the girl in front of him was like a mystery. The more he got in touch, the more he wanted to explore, and the more he wanted to know what else she could do to surprise him.

Seeing that Zhou Jia was silent, Li Yu stood up and wanted to continue to squeeze oil, but Zhou Jia raised his hand to stop Li Yu, "Miss Li, there are two academies in Qingshan City, most of them are seventeen or eighteen years old. For the students in their teens, I will prepare the funds, cloth, and tung oil. I can also sell them all to me. You are responsible for recruiting people to make bags. I will charge 10% of the tea oil, you can see how good it is."

   Li Yu felt a little surprised after hearing this. Zhou Xiucai would be at a loss if he distributed the profits in this way.

  Li Yu shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, since you sincerely cooperate with me, so be it! I will make four and six of the profits. After discussing the details, we will sign a contract."

   Zhou Jia laughed after hearing this and thought to herself: What a good girl. "Okay, just as Miss Li said, we'll write the contract."

  The two discussed some details again. Li Yu went to the room to get a pen and paper, and Zhou Jia began to write the contract.

   Zhou Jia thought that Li Yu might be illiterate, and read the contract to Li Yu again, "Miss Li, if you're worried, you can ask someone to help."

   "No, how could Mr. Zhou be such an untrustworthy person." Li Yu took a pen and signed his name.

   After the two signed the words, Zhou Jia looked at the crooked words written by Li Yu, pursed his lips and smiled, "Wait until Jixiang brings the printing color and then press the handprint."

Li Yu nodded and glared at him, "Mr. Zhou, the inner layer of the school bag is made of coarse cloth, and the outer layer is made of sturdier muslin cloth. We can not only make school bags, but also make travel bags. There is also no need to buy good cloth to make cloth shells, you can have people go to the cloth shop to buy cloth heads or tattered clothes and come back to make cloth shells."

   Zhou Jia stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let someone prepare, Miss Li, I think I should help you pull these tea oil seeds to the oil mill to squeeze them, okay?"

Li Yu nodded, "Okay! I want to keep half of the oil for myself, and you can sell the rest for me. Also, this oil is much more expensive than rapeseed oil. The minimum price for bean paste is twenty cents per pound. ."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled, "Didn't you say that tea oil is good for your body and bones! Douban sauce is something unique to your family, and I promise to sell you a good price."

   Li Yu smiled and didn't answer. Zhou Jia went out and asked Jixiang to go back and drive the mule cart over. Li Yu left a tank of doubanjiang for his own use and asked Jixiang to pull away the other doubanjiang and the remaining tea seeds.

  After Zhou Jia and Jixiang left, Aunt Qian looked at the stone mortar that had only been used for a long time, and sighed while cleaning, "It's still usable! What are you doing with it?"

  Li Yu went to the stove to find a charcoal stick, sharpened it and wrapped it in cloth to draw a rough outline of the style of the bags in the memory of the previous life.

  Li Yu went to Li Mei's house with the blueprint, showed Li Mei the blueprint and asked Li Mei, "Aunt, if you are asked to make a bag like this, how long will it take you to make one."

Li Mei looked at the blueprint in her hand and shook her head, "Auntie didn't understand how you made it. If you can make one like the bag that Ah Qing carried, and show it to me, I'll know how to make it. Done."

   "Alright then! I'll go back and fetch the fabric, we'll make the shape first, and you'll tailor it later."

   Li Mei stopped Li Yu, "You girl, you haven't told me for a long time that you have to make so many bags for what use?"

  Li Yu then remembered that he hadn't told Li Mei that he was cooperating with Mr. Zhou, and Li Yu quickly explained it to Li Yu.

   Li Mei was a little worried after hearing this, "Yu'er, how can Mr. Zhou help you like this because we are not related to each other?"

   Li Yu came casually, "Probably because he and his book boy met wolves last time up the mountain, so I saved them!"

   "You girl," Li Mei patted Li Yu, "Wolf, you dare to provoke you and kill you? Have you forgotten why your father left? You are not allowed to be brave in the future, you know?"

   Li Yu leaned against Li Mei and smiled warmly, and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I also went out to help because I thought I could kill the wolf."

   "Well! In short, you have to be careful when going up the mountain, do you understand?" Li Mei instructed.

   Li Yu went home and took the oilcloth and cloth shell to Li Mei's house. The aunts and nephews lay on the drying mat. After Li Yu finished painting, Li Mei cut it, and Zhao Di helped to sew together, and made several defective products one after another.

   "Fish, it's too wasteful," Li Mei looked at the broken fabrics distressedly, "It's cut like this, it can only be used for shoe uppers."

   Li Yu glanced at it and smiled, "It's not a waste to be able to make shoe uppers."

   Several people tried several times to get the most suitable size. Li Yu cut out the pattern with the cloth shell, and prepared to use the pattern to cut the pattern.

  Li Yu asked Liu Changmin to go to the carpenter's house to order two cutting boards. He also remembered that he didn't even have a decent dining table and desk at home, and the main room was still empty, and the people who came to the house to do needlework would not even have a place to sit.

  Li Yu simply drew two sets of tables and chairs, the appearance of a desk, and two sets of furniture, and went to the carpenter's house with Li Mei to customize furniture, tables, chairs and benches.

  The two came out of the carpenter's house and returned to Li Mei's house. Li Yu said to Liu Changmin, "Uncle, please go and buy some lime for me to take home, and then ask someone to help me paint the house."

   "You kid, why are you being polite with your uncle!" Liu Changmin happily drove the ox cart to buy lime.
