Chapter 169 Arrangements for New Workers
Early in the morning, the fifteen newly recruited women in the village came to Shiliu’s house early. These fifteen women were so excited that they couldn’t sleep all night. Before dawn, I just tidied myself up and came back clean.
When we arrived at the open space in front of the workshop, we saw workers from the Li family entering the workshop one after another. They couldn't help but become more excited. From now on, they can also work in the workshop!
Li Chunfang came early with Dani and Erni. She just wanted to start work early and earn wages one day earlier. Her mother told her yesterday that she would redeem their mothers’ money. Seven taels of silver were her dowry, and the remaining eight taels were all given by pomegranates.
She strives to earn enough money as soon as possible so that she can return the pomegranate!
She was sleeping in bed last night, thinking about these things all the time. She had to pay off the debt first, and give some of the money she earned to her eldest brother's house. Although they lived with their parents, they couldn't live in vain, even if her eldest brother didn't say anything. What, there is such a big family as Rong Song's daughter-in-law and Rong Bai's daughter-in-law - besides, she herself is too embarrassed to live in vain.
Pomegranate arrived at the workshop in front of everyone's eyes. She knew many of the fifteen women in the village and knew their reputations. She couldn't help but secretly nod. The patriarch had his own rules and the people he picked were all good ones.
She didn’t say much more, and just said one sentence at the beginning. Once you enter the workshop, you must work hard and don’t be wrong. If you are too talkative and ill-intentioned to leak out the things in the workshop, you can Don't blame their family for not respecting the feelings of fellow villagers. When the time comes, just drive them out. Anyway, the workshop will not worry about recruiting people.
The women all expressed their opinions that they would work hard and not be mean-spirited! Just kidding, the workshop doesn’t have to worry about recruiting people, they are afraid of losing such a real job!
Which woman can find such a good job right in front of her house and earn thirty cash a day and be willing to throw it away?
If you don't pay close attention, you're all a fool!
Pomegranate nodded and began to share the work with everyone.
Fifteen women, four were assigned to the group of beating meat and tearing shredded pork, eight were assigned to the group of fried pork floss, and three were assigned to the packaging group. Today I will talk to the women in the original group. Learn how to use it and you can start using it tomorrow.
Long before the decision to expand enrollment, Shiliu had made an agreement with Uncle Six to build a few more stoves right after New Year’s Eve, and they would be built on the outside of the wall next to the meat floss workshop.
Although the Li family has been busy these days, the sixth uncle and his son have nothing to do. They came over to do some work in the afternoon of the second day of junior high school.
No, six simple one-pot stovetops were built, cleaned and ready for use.
Waiting for today’s fifteen women to get started, starting from tomorrow, the six stoves outside are specially used for cooking meat, and the ten pots in the house will all be used to fry pork floss, which is more than before. If you fry in four pots, the progress will be increased by almost half.
All the fifteen women were assigned to their respective groups. The women in the original group were all familiar with each other, and they got along quickly.
Li Chunfang, mother and daughter were the only ones left, and Pomegranate took them directly to the salted egg yolk workshop.
A new stove and a large pot were built under the wall of the Salted Egg Yolk Workshop. Several pots were bought together after asking Li Jizhong to deliver the goods on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
At the moment, Pomegranate went to the salted egg yolk workshop to get the freshly made salted egg yolks, and asked Dani to get firewood to light a fire so that she could teach them how to make salted egg yolk sauce.
Yes, she plans to leave the making of salted egg yolk sauce to her sister-in-law, Li Chunfang, and her daughter.
While waiting for the fire to be lit, Pomegranate made it clear to Li Chunfang that the wages of the three of them were calculated not by days but by pieces, and each jar of salted egg yolk sauce would cost two cents.
Listening to this, Li Chunfang didn’t know what salted egg yolk sauce was or how to make it, but she was very happy when she heard that she could get two cents for making a jar. He and Erni are also used to working with her. They are both hard-working children. If the three of them are casual and make ten or twenty altars a day, wouldn't they be able to earn dozens of copper coins!
Just thinking about it makes my heart beat with excitement. At that moment, Li Chunfang looked at Pomegranate, looking serious and waiting to learn.
When the fire was lit, Pomegranate poured water into the pot and put the steamer on. When the pot started to steam, he put the salted egg yolk on a plate and steamed it.
After steaming for about ten minutes, lift the lid of the pot and take out the plate. The salted egg yolk inside will be cooked until it is a little oily. Then put it into a clean pottery bowl, add an appropriate amount of sesame oil, and use it. Crush it evenly with a spoon, and finally you will get a golden and rich paste - salted egg yolk sauce.
The process is very simple. Steam it once, pour the crushed salted egg yolk sauce into a clean small jar, and it is half filled. In this way, you only need to do this twice to get a jar. .
Li Chunfang looked at it seriously and felt that it was very simple. It didn’t take a lot of effort, and you could get two cents per pot. She roughly estimated that the three of them would work non-stop all day long. If you do, there will be no problem at all in making a thirty altar.
Pomegranate then asked Li Chunfang to do it once, while she watched from the side and was making a budget in her heart. Sanni was responsible for lighting the fire and watching the pot, so that the fire would not stop and the pot would not stop, and the sister-in-law and Dani would be in charge. Crush, stir and assemble the jars. In this way, it is easy to make thirty or forty jars in one day.
In this way, you can earn at least sixty pence a day. After a month, a penny is indispensable. In a year, you will have an income of more than ten pence. After working for a year, my sister-in-law will I can build a new house by myself and feel completely settled.
As for the homestead - Shiliu thought that she would have to discuss it with her grandma now that she was free. There were not many pieces of homestead left in the village. Without waiting for anyone, she could advance her wages to buy a piece of house for her sister-in-law. base.
But we have to wait until everything is over after the fifteenth birthday, and if we want to buy a homestead in the name of my sister-in-law, then the sister-in-law must set up a female household.
Although Dajin had a rule that married women could establish a female household, but she thought what if her grandpa still wanted to give her sister-in-law a separate family? After all, my sister-in-law is still young.
So let’s do it step by step, and later she will “fool” her grandpa that it’s important to buy a homestead first.
While thinking about it, the salted egg yolk in the pot was also steamed. Pomegranate watched Li Chunfang put the oil in the pot, crush it and stir it. This step was simple. Li Chunfang watched carefully first, one by one, completely No problem, Pomegranate also noticed that the number of times she crushed him was almost the same as hers!
"How about Pomegranate? Is it okay?" After doing it, Li Chunfang looked at Pomegranate with a look of anticipation.
Pomegranate nodded immediately, "Sister-in-law, you did a good job, just do it this way! After putting a jar in this way, seal it with oil paper and put it in the middle room, first by the door. On the table, at the end of the day, I counted how much I had made before putting it into the warehouse."
Li Chunfang nodded in agreement, and she was also very motivated and quickly sealed the jar without any delay, so that she could continue to make the next pot.
Pomegranate looked at them for a long time and saw that there was no problem with them, so she went home.
First go through the homestead in the middle. She has already drawn the drawings of the new house. She will not start construction until the fifteenth day. By then, she will also have to go to the pottery kiln to see about custom-made water pipes.
Think about it, there are still many things to do.
All the way to their own kitchen, Mrs. Song, Li Xiangli, Li Yitang’s daughter-in-law Niu and Aunt Jifu were selecting and cutting vegetables to prepare for lunch. Aunt Niu Jifu was hired to start work this year. The helpers who came here had to take care of the meals for dozens of people a day, which was also tiring work. Shiliu thought that hiring two more people would also save some of the burden on her mother and eldest sister, so that they would not have to spend most of the day in the kitchen. Riza.
The helpers were paid five cents for each meal, and the two Niu family members came to help with joy even though they had to take care of the meal.
The meat that was delivered this morning was also topped with a lot of big bones, and was stewed with specially sour green vegetables. It was a full pot, and the pickled vegetables had a strong flavor. The pomegranate made me take a sip of saliva. I just had breakfast not long ago. Then I felt hungry.
She can only eat two bowls of this big bone pickled cabbage soup!
