Chapter 498 Wage
The pomegranate saved the old lady from busy work again, but the old lady was a real person, so she buried her head in water and got busy.
Seeing this, Pomegranate could only ask her husband to boil hot water and use the hot water to wipe the doors and windows to avoid cold hands.
After hearing this, the mother-in-law turned around and retreated, went back and brought a handful of firewood, and went into the kitchen at the beginning of the east chamber to light a fire and boil water.
Pomegranate didn’t even sit in the main room. Before signing documents in the main room, Mrs. Lu asked her mother-in-law to bring hot tea and snacks, but she was neither thirsty nor hungry at the moment. Let’s look around again first.
Perhaps Fan Yunzi's family has a simple population. Although there are so many houses, only one of the three rooms in the west wing has a bed. The remaining two rooms are only furnished with simple furniture, and the three rooms in the east wing are only furnished with simple furniture. , one is a kitchen, and the other two are empty rooms.
It was not easy to move the beds out of the rooms with beds, so Pomegranate decided to lock them up like the two rooms on the left and right of the main house and not use them.
The remaining four rooms are enough.
When the time comes, there will be two rooms for making puppets. One is responsible for filling cotton and closing the mouth, and the other is a warehouse. Cotton fabrics and finished puppets are stored here, and they must be locked at night - —
“Second sister-in-law is literate. When the time comes, the accounts of this workshop will be It's up to you to take care of it. Every day, how many items the workers made will be recorded one by one. Then the wages will be settled in one month... And in the kitchen, I will ask the lobby uncle to buy the ingredients and deliver them to me every day. How much you eat and use, these are all things you need to keep in mind—”
Huang Chunni hurriedly nodded and wrote it down, but she felt a little nervous. Her grandfather was the head of the village. Although she knew some words and could do simple accounting, it was no problem for her to take charge of the accounts of a workshop. This was the first time for her to take charge of the accounts of a workshop. She was afraid of herself. If you don't do it well, it will cause trouble for Pomegranate.
But since Shiliu trusts her and values her so much, she has to do a good job.
Huang Chunni thought that from now on, she would do more planning and writing before going to bed every night...
Pomegranate didn't know that the second sister-in-law was nervous, and she was thinking about it. Mr. Fan has a cheerful temperament and is eloquent. She is responsible for supervising these workers and supervising their work every day...
As for Lu, she is in charge of the key to this warehouse. She must count how much cloth each person receives every day to make as many things as they receive, and how much cotton they receive. , workers cannot be allowed to take it casually.
Cotton is not cheap, and fine cotton and even silk and silk are even more expensive. If there is no structure and the workers take what they need for their own use, then over time, it is inevitable that no one will do something small.
She didn’t want to see that result, so she had to control it from the beginning.
Just after looking around, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Fan came back with a group of women and young wives.
This action was so fast that even Pomegranate was surprised.
Fan said with a smile: "The village had known that Pomegranate was going to open a new workshop here, and you didn't hide the fact that you were going to make needlework. Everyone was watching. No, my brother and sister De will go there. After wandering around the village, everyone is willing to come! ”
I counted the pomegranates roughly, and found that there were only about twenty, which was not too many. I think Fan and Lu had carefully selected them, and they were both fine and good.
At that moment, Pomegranate smiled and expressed her warm welcome to everyone to join the Li Ji Puppet Workshop.
With the word "Puppet Workshop", everyone immediately started chattering and discussing. They all knew that they were doing needlework, but they didn't know what to do specifically.
Muppets? What puppet?
“Is it like a cloth tiger?” a daughter-in-law asked.
When she said this, everyone thought about it. For those who have children at home, who has never made a cloth tiger for their children to hold and play with? So they made it out of old rags and stuffed some rags into it, so that the children can get it. Very happy.
A woman just had one with her grandson a few days ago.
Pomegranate laughed: "It's similar to that one, but not the same." After saying that, she asked Huang Chunni to bring up the puppet tiger and puppet rabbit for everyone to see.
The cloth tiger and rabbit are from Baozhu. Of course, the treasure is very precious, but I can’t bear to take it out. It was Pomegranate who asked Yusuo to use satin material to make a new tiger for Baozhu. And the rabbit was exchanged with her.
"Every aunt and sister-in-law, take a look."
The cloth tiger and rabbit were passed to everyone. Everyone looked at them and kept chattering.
“Oh, this tiger! Why is it so rare? It looks better than the cloth tiger I made!”
“This is a rabbit? Why is the rabbit standing? I have never seen anything like this. Rabbit, but this rabbit looks so cute and so cute!”
“It feels so soft, what’s on its head?”
"It seems...it's cotton? Is it cotton?"
"Oh, this cloth tiger can also be made of cotton? Not to mention, it is softer to the touch than stuffed with rags, and it is more comfortable to hold in your hands. !”
“…”
Fan Said: "What our puppet workshop is going to make is this kind of puppet. There are more than just these two kinds. You will know when you make them!"
The chatter stopped, and everyone asked : "When will construction start?"
Everyone has to be free in this winter, so we can start working now!
It was funny when Shiliu saw that they started construction without even asking about the wages. She knew that everyone trusted their Li family, but she said first: "The construction will officially start the morning after tomorrow. With the Li family, Like other workshops, the workshop is under control Food, as for wages, is the same as the sheep workshop, calculated on a piece-"
This woman who is good at embroidery is only responsible for making the appearance of the puppets. Small pieces of puppets like this have different designs and colors. The stitches used vary from six to thirty cents each.
For example, the cloth tiger and rabbit are made of fine cotton. The rabbit is simple and costs seven cents to make one. The tiger has many patterns and is more complicated, and one costs nine cents.
The second batch of large pillow-top dolls she painted ranged from twenty to sixty cents.
Such a big gap also depends on the different fabrics, such as silk, satin, silk, etc. The materials are precious and cannot be wasted, and the stitching is not as good as cotton. The embroidery skills must be carefully tested. If the embroidery is wrong and damaged, it cannot be If it is used, the worker will have to spend his own money to buy the material.
That’s why the cost of embroidering dolls made of this material is more expensive, because there is also the risk of compensation.
Everyone couldn't help but get excited after hearing the price. The price is not low!
They usually embroider handkerchiefs and sell them at the embroidery shop. They also use the same materials as the embroidery shop. It only costs two cents to embroider a handkerchief.
This is a rag doll with this nose and eye color, but there is no need to embroider those flowers and butterflies on the eyes...
This salary really takes good care of them! The Li family has always been so kind, no wonder everyone is willing to work for the Li family!
Everyone nodded quickly and said that everything depends on the workshop, and they are eager to start work now!
As for having to pay compensation if the embroidery is broken, they are not unfamiliar with this. They used to have the same rules when accepting jobs in the embroidery shop. If the embroidery is broken, they will definitely have to pay!
Just pay it. If you lose the money, you can take the material back to make a handkerchief, a coat or something, so it won’t hinder you.
Besides, they have taken on many jobs in the embroidery shop, and few of them are bad at embroidery. This hand can count them!
