I opened a mall in ancient times

"Thanks for your hard work, these prices are already cheap enough." Luo Chaochao patted Songzhi on the shoulder.

"When I went to the tribes in Beidi to buy wool, they told me that there was also a group of traveling merchants who bought a lot of wool. I don't know where the traveling merchants came from."

Luo Chao felt a bit like Kansai.

"Come here and move all the wool to the wool processing workshop, then wash the wool and pick out the fine wool inside, and separate the ordinary wool on the outside from the coat in the middle. You are monsters, you should have magic, so I don't ask you to finish it today, but you can finish it in three days right now?"

With so many things, the hundreds of employees in the factory may not be able to finish them in a week. Although they are monsters, there are only a few of them. It is simply embarrassing for them to ask them to finish them in three days.

But after hearing Luo Chaochao's request, these monsters didn't resist at all, and pushed all the tens of tons of wool to the wool processing workshop, and started to process it.

"...Didn't you check their details?" Seeing these monsters obediently going to work, Luo Chaoxi asked Songzhi.

Ordinary monsters are arrogant and feel that humans are inferior to them, so they don't listen to humans to work at all.Even some of the grumpy ones may feel that this is insulting them and killing them.

"I checked, and the details are very clean. All the information from birth to meeting me is here." Song Zhi took out a photo stone, which recorded the life of these monsters from childhood to adulthood.

At first, Song Zhi wondered if these guys came close to him on purpose, but after he checked, he found that these kids were all very innocent, and they were even rescued by him because their tribe escaped after losing a fight with other tribes of.

It's acceptable... But that is to say, can this kind of monster who has been fighting and killing on the grassland all year round really be able to calm down and work in Luo Chaochao's factory?

Songzhi said so, but Luo Chaochao was not completely relieved, and let a few monsters in the dark of the factory stare at them before going to do other things.

The little monsters didn't know that Luo Chaochao was on guard against them, maybe it didn't matter if they knew.

They worshiped Song Zhi sincerely and wanted to follow him to conquer the world.

Boss is so powerful!There must be something to follow after him!

These little monsters actually buried their heads in the workshop and began to work earnestly, relying on this side being a separate, unmanned workshop, a few leopards used magic spells, stumbling and preliminarily sorting the wool according to the tutorial.

Almost every worker in the factory has something to do. After thinking about it, Luo Chaochao allocated twenty or so workers to deal with the wool. Apart from the simplest cleaning, he also had to do, open, comb, mix, Drafting, combining, twisting and winding can finally make qualified wool.

It sounds complicated, but in fact, as long as people are fast enough, it can be lifted up, and now the most worthless thing is labor.

Now the entire textile factory needs to provide the goods of half of the cloth factory in Kangzhou City, and the output is just about the same. Since a week ago, cloth merchants from other cities have come to Luo Chaochao, wanting to cooperate with the textile factory.

The current output is indeed a bit behind, and it is time to expand enrollment.

Luo Chaochao thought about recruiting a group of people after the first month had passed and turned these employees into full-time employees. Now there is a little shortage of manpower. Sweaters need to be hooked by hand.

It would be great if we could recruit some monsters, but this is a human factory after all, and recruiting monsters rashly will not only not improve efficiency, but also cause panic among ordinary people.

It's better to recruit a batch of temporary workers first, and deal with these piles of wool first, otherwise, by the time the first batch of sweaters are ready, it is probably already autumn.

Of course, the wages of these temporary workers who do chores are not so high. After all, there is no technical content, just mechanical repetitive labor.

There is no need to tell the envoy Zhou Jiedu about this kind of recruitment, Luo Chaochao directly re-posted the recruitment notice on the street.

This time, we recruited temporary workers instead of regular workers. The treatment of temporary workers is not as good as that of regular workers, and there are no benefits, but the advantage is that the salary is settled every day, which is very suitable for people who are in a hurry.

The salary is fifty yuan a day, and the working time is six hours, but fortunately, there is no wind and sun, and these jobs can be done sitting down, which is also a rare high-paying job.

The list posted by Luo Chaochao at noon, in the afternoon, a lot of people came to sign up. It is roughly estimated that there are nearly [-] people. With so many people working overtime, they should be able to process all the wool within five days. .

After Luo Chaochao recruited a group of people to get the wool, they returned to the Daxing Street branch with Zhulan and Songzhi. Today the store closed early, and Luo Chaochao wanted to invite the old employees to dinner to celebrate Songzhi's return.

Of course, other employees also added a meat dish to their dinner as a celebration.

The employees were overjoyed and welcomed Songzhi's return one after another.

Before getting off work at night, Luo Chaochao went to see what Song Zhi brought back.

At the beginning, he asked Pine Branch to look for plant seeds outside, as well as various plant specialties that could only be found in the Western Regions or further afield.

Pine Branch was not lazy and completed the task very well.

Although wool is the most, there are also a lot of other things, and Songzhi thinks that Luo Chaochao should want a lot of seeds, so he brings back a sack of seeds and fruits of each crop, and other rare things are also painstakingly obtained. Some, but not many, and they were all divided up and packed.

Luo Chaochao counted, counting the booklet Luo Chaochao gave him before, Songzhi brought back nearly forty kinds of plant seeds. In addition to the cotton, sweet potatoes and other crops that Luo Chaochao requested, he also brought melons, walnuts and pears. There are also apples and grapes that grow sweeter in specific areas. What surprised Luo Chaochao even more was that Songzhi brought back a lot of beet and tomato seeds.

These are all crops that can be grown in the Central Plains and mass-produced, there are even a little sesame and rapeseed, and the spices brought back by Songzhi from the Western Regions are also various, which dazzles Luo Chaoxie, and he himself can't tell them apart. Songzhi still needs to help him explain.

Cinnamon, pepper, star anise, lemon leaves, ginger, turmeric, nutmeg, anise, saffron, and chilli.

At this time, chili is still replaced by cornel, which has a jerky bitter taste, but Luochao Chao sells dried chili, and various seasonings are also related to chili, such as hot pot bottoms, which can dehumidify. Although the taste is pungent, But it attracts many people's love.

Now that we can get seeds, the taste may not be particularly authentic, but if we cultivate them well, we should be able to mass-produce them in China, especially suitable for sending them to the south, where the weather is humid and cold in winter, and eating something spicy can drain the body. moisture.

Luo Chaochao counted all these things, leaving some of the crops that have been successfully planted in the Central Plains in later generations, and prepared to hand them over to Zhou Jiedushi at that time.

Of course, the most important thing is the several sacks of cotton seeds brought back by Songzhi. These seeds are enough for them to plant several rounds. In addition to the improved and cultivated seeds that Luo Chaochao bought directly from Modern, they should be able to usher in a bumper harvest of cotton next year.

It took Luo Chaochao more than an hour to count all the things Songzhi brought back.Seeing that it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Luo Chaochao planned to leave work temporarily and take the staff in the store to a restaurant in Kangzhou City to have a good meal.

A group of twenty or so people was just about to go out when they saw a train line stop at the entrance of Jiushui store. Luo Chaochao knew the leader, and it was the Kansai they mentioned at the factory during the day.

Everyone didn't expect that Cao Cao would arrive soon after talking about Cao Cao. He finished speaking in the morning and came back in the afternoon, and even stopped at the gate of Jiushui with the caravan.

What Luo Chaochao didn't know was that Kansai actually went to Nanluo Alley first, and realized that Luo Chaochao was not there, and came to the door of this store, just in time to meet Luo Chaochao and other employees who were about to go out for dinner.

He was still sighing along the way, lamenting how long it took for Luo Chaochao's store to grow to this size. When they were queuing outside and preparing to enter the city, they heard many businessmen talking about Luo Chaochao.

Song Zhi looked familiar at the other party, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that this was the leader of the very large caravan when they entered the city this morning?

"Boss Luo!" Guan Xi pulled down the hood on his head and waved to Luo Chao Chao.

He went out for a trip, and his complexion became darker again. He smiled at Luo Chaochao, his big white teeth gleaming in the setting sun. Brother, long time no see, your caravan has grown in size by two laps!"

"It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for the things you buy so much money, I wouldn't have hired so many guys. But it's a good thing. I brought back everything you asked me to bring. Look at you When are you going to check it out?"

When Kansai left, Luo Chaochao asked him to help him collect some crops and large quantities of cotton and wool during the business trip. Now they are all stored on the rear frame. The guys lifted the top cover under Kansai's signal. The linoleum cloth was covered, revealing the contents inside, "The plants you mentioned are too difficult to find, but fortunately, I asked the herdsmen in Beidi and actually found a few of them. Let's see if you can use them. arrive?"

A few people were going to eat at first, but seeing the business coming, the shop assistants were too embarrassed to continue eating. Luo Chaochao waved to them, "Go and eat first, I'll come over when I'm done."

"Did I interrupt your meal? It's okay, you go to eat first, we'll talk about it after we finish eating, it just so happens that we should go to eat too." Kansai noticed this.

"It's okay, it's not too late anyway."

Kansai mainly takes the Beidi route, while Songzhi takes the Western Regions, so the things brought back by both sides have their own characteristics.

In addition to wool and cotton, Kansai brought back sand fruit, corn, millet, black fungus, millet, millet, and buckwheat beets. He even brought back two sunflowers that were dried out in the sun. And a lot of sunflower seeds.

There are indeed melon seeds now, but they are basically Japanese melon seeds or watermelon seeds. No one really eats sunflower seeds.
