Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Kaoshan Village

It is March, spring is here and flowers are blooming. The weather has become much warmer these days. It will be time to raise rice seedlings again in a while.

Everyone has been busy in the fields during this period, turning the soil, planting rice seedlings, and planting various crops.

Dadong was also very busy during this period, working in the fields from morning till night with more than a dozen servants.

Before leaving, the lady told him that all the Zhang family's land would be under his management. As for what crops to grow, the lady also gave him a general idea.

Zhang Tiezhu was even busier, not only taking care of his own fields, but also taking care of the chili shop. Some time ago, he had another thing to do: he hired hundreds of people to open up wasteland in Qingfeng Mountain.

After Shen Ping left Kaoshan Village, Zhang Tiezhu put this matter on the agenda while the villagers were free.

He cut down the trees on the mountain and turned the land into ridges because Shen Ping had given him a task, which was to grow tea.

In just over a month, Qingfeng Mountain has undergone a dramatic transformation, with nearly 1000 acres of hilltops completely covered with ridges.

Hundreds of people spent several days planting all the cultivated green tea seedlings.

The neat rows of ridges stretch along the hilltops, looking like terraced fields. The green tea seedlings are so beautiful.

Fortunately, it rained heavily the next day after the green tea seedlings were planted. It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil, but this saying almost does not exist in the south.

Later, there were several more rains, and the green tea finally took root.

Because of the rain, the weather became much colder and the villagers took a short break. During this time, they began to prepare to soak the rice seeds.

Ever since they tasted it last year, everyone knew how good this high-yield rice variety was. In addition to keeping enough rice seeds for herself, Shen Ping let Dadong sell the rest.

In addition to the villagers in Kaoshan Village, the villagers in the neighboring village also heard the news and were willing to spend money to buy rice seeds in every possible way.

The workshop started operation after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it has been more than a month now, and all the workshops are operating normally.

Chili Shop is not as busy as it was before the New Year, so we don't have to work the night shift.

During this period, the chili shop only makes dried chili sauce. Because there are no fresh chili peppers to pick now, all they make are the dried chili peppers left over from last year.

The peanut oil mill also has a continuous and stable supply of peanut oil, because the peanuts were dried last year and the oil had not yet been squeezed out.

As for the stewing workshop, after the introduction of vacuum packaging, it became famous and its sales became wider, directly expanding to the north. Many people came to buy goods.

During this period, many people came here to purchase goods after the New Year, and there were almost no vacancies in the inns in Kaoshan Village. Some people even booked rooms for their next visit in advance before leaving.

Dachun and his wife were busy and having a lot of fun. They couldn't help but admire their mother's vision. Opening this braised pork workshop was much better than the previous braised pork shop.

Not only can they earn more, but they don’t have to go to the county town. Customers will automatically come to the workshop to place orders. What they need to do now is to ensure quality and stable supply.

As for Si Ya, their spicy hot pot and lamb skewers became popular throughout Heyang County during the Spring Festival. After the Spring Festival, they opened more branches.

The branch was looked after by Shi Zhong, and an experienced waiter was sent from the head office to help.

Chicken biscuits and meat floss biscuits are now vacuum-packed like those in the Luzhu shop. The biscuits are also packaged as gifts, making them a specialty of Heyang, and it is very prestigious to give them as gifts.

Many businessmen treat their guests to spicy hotpot and buy a few boxes of such gifts.

In order to save the trouble of purchasing goods, Si Ya begged Da Chun to teach Shi San Er the techniques of salt-baked chicken and braising, so that they could do it independently.

As for Erya, the sales of ready-made clothes have also increased greatly during this period. The maternity suits she made previously received a good response in the capital and were favored by many wives of wealthy families.

Mr. Liu placed a large order after the New Year and ordered summer maternity dresses in advance, hoping to put them on the market in large quantities when the weather gets hot.

This summer maternity dress is simple to make. It is made entirely of floral fabrics and does not require embroidery. It is simple and comfortable and can be made with a sewing machine.

This simple method has greatly accelerated the progress. Currently, workers in the garment workshop are proficient in using sewing machines.

That is, Erya discovered a situation: sometimes when everyone is in high spirits, the task can be completed in that day; but if some workers are not enthusiastic about their work, the output for that day will not meet the target.

In order to stimulate the workers' enthusiasm, Erya thought of her mother's trick. She remembered that Shen Ping asked her aunt to make clothes by piece, which meant that the more work, the more money.

She used this trick in her workshop, and the workers' wages were no longer settled on a daily basis.

Erya classified different processes according to different prices, so that the workers could earn more if they worked more. At first, no one was happy.

They think that this is not secure. Like before, as long as they came to work, they would be guaranteed 30 cents a day. But now, everyone is uneasy.

However, many people agree to this piecework because they have done the math and everyone has a rough idea of ​​their own work ability.

After knowing the unit price and taking into account the amount of work they had done, they did some calculations and found that this was much more cost-effective than paying on a daily basis.

Finally, everyone was arguing and Sifeng suggested that everyone vote. In the end, the majority agreed to piecework, and the minority obeyed the majority, so no one had anything to say.

From the first day of the experiment, Erya found that this trick really worked. Everyone's work enthusiasm increased, and some workers who were usually slow now became much more skillful.

Not only that, after lunch, many people took a short break and then started working again, thinking that they could make a few more pieces of clothing and earn a few more cents.

At the end of the day, many people were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling, because when they got off work, they calculated and found that they could earn twice as much money as usual.

Normally, they could only earn 30 coins, but after the piecework, they actually earned more than 60 coins. Even the slowest one earned 40 coins.

The workers were immediately excited. If they calculated it this way, the skilled workers could earn more than one tael of silver a month. Even the poorest workers could earn about one tael of silver.

This month's income is almost equal to the income of the past year.

Erya was finally relieved at this time. She was worried that she would not be able to deliver the goods on the agreed time. Now, she doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.

Because Mr. Liu is going to transport this batch of goods to the capital, it will take a lot of time on the road, so the delivery date is also during this period.

In recent days, the garment factory has introduced an overtime system, which adopts a voluntary model. Workers who are willing to work overtime can stay and work overtime.

Because the work is piece-rate, many people are enthusiastic about the work and are willing to stay and work overtime.
