Chapter 131 Blood boiling

If Shen Yueyao hadn't stopped her, Mrs. Liu would have knelt down to Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao said: "Grandma Liu, you don't have to be like this. It's because my mother said that you work well, cleanly and neatly that I wanted to hire you to do the job."

"For my business, I'm quite cautious when hiring people at the beginning. I only use people I trust. You guys are also people I have carefully screened. You are people I can trust, so I asked you to come and work here."

These people all have a good reputation for their character, and they are either familiar to Madam Meng or to Shen Yueyao.

So let them rest assured.

Li was the wife of the head of the village and had often helped the Su family in the past, so Shen Yueyao would definitely use Li first.

She also felt that Li was not only good at work but also had management skills.

She thought that she would build a few more workshops in the future, and she would definitely need someone to manage them. Li could help with the management.

When the time comes, there will be someone to help look after the workshop, so she won't have to keep an eye on these businesses every day.

You can free up time to do something else.

Everyone was even more shocked when they heard Shen Yueyao's words.

They thought that since Shen Yueyao trusted them so much, they had to do their job well.

Shen Yueyao mentioned some details to pay attention to, and everyone listened carefully.

Shen Yueyao continued, "This is a confidentiality agreement. Although the workshop hasn't opened yet, we're still following the rules. If you work for me, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement. It's also a constraint. If you sign a confidentiality agreement and leak the recipe for chili meat sauce, you'll be sued."

"Actually, as long as everyone works hard, when the workshop is built and expanded, you can directly become managers and lead the people below you..."

"Besides, if you're a manager, you get paid more than an ordinary employee..."

"Also, we give everyone two days off every seven days. As more people work, we'll start scheduling shifts. Regardless of how we schedule them, we'll still have two days off every seven days, so the daily working hours will only be three and a half hours..."

"Everyone can ask for leave if they need it, but wages will be deducted if they take personal leave. There is also paid annual leave every year..."

Shen Yueyao explained in detail the matters that needed attention and also told everyone about the welfare system.

Although several people didn't quite understand at first, Shen Yueyao explained it in great detail.

After that, even Madam Meng and Su Erya were paid according to their wages when they worked for her.

Su Erya felt that since she was learning things from her third aunt, there was no way she could ask for wages.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Er Ya, you are my special assistant. You have done a lot for me. I will give you a raise in the future. Don't be polite to Aunt San. Just do as I say."

Only then did Su Erya listen to her third aunt.

But her heart was filled with warmth, as she felt that her Third Aunt was so kind to her.

She was only thirteen years old, but she had already learned a lot from her third aunt, who also paid her wages.

She planned to save the money so that she could buy nice things for her third aunt when she was able to.

As for Su Xiuye, he had already returned from Nanlin Village.

He went to see Su Daya and felt that there was no problem with Su Daya in the Lin family.

Even now, Su Daya can still work and do things, but Su Xiuye ​​thinks that it is normal for his daughter to do those things after she gets married, and everyone in the village does the same.

He felt relieved after confirming that Su Daya was fine over there for the time being.

After returning, Su Xiuye ​​helped with housework.

During this period, Shen Yueyao wanted to expand the house and workshop, and he also joined in the work.

Of course, Shen Yueyao also paid him wages every day. Even if Su Xiuye ​​didn't want it, Shen Yueyao would still pay him according to the rules.

Su Xiuye ​​had no place to spend the money, so he thought of saving it first so that he could return the money to his third brother and his wife for the money they had spent to rescue him.

Now Su Xiuye, Old Madam Meng and Su Erya all eat at the old house.

Not eating with Shen Yueyao.

Madam Meng felt that it would cause too much trouble for Shen Yueyao.

The whole family went there to eat, which affected her third son and daughter-in-law. She also wanted her third son and Yao Niang to get closer and have more feelings for each other.

When Old Lady Liu and Mrs. Li heard what Shen Yueyao said, they all suspected that they had heard it wrong.

I thought twenty cents a day was already very good.

I never thought that I could become a manager in the future, get a salary increase, have two days off every seven days, and even take leave if necessary.

Is this... is this really work?

In this way, no housework will be delayed.

So when a few people started working, they were so excited that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

I was very careful when washing peppers and cutting meat, for fear that I might not do it well.

Still, Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Everyone, just do it freely. Don't worry. It doesn't matter if you are not skilled at the beginning. I will tell you if you do something wrong. As long as you work hard, I can see it."

After Shen Yueyao said this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and dared to relax and work.

The actual ingredients and recipes are in the hands of Shen Yueyao, and are made by Madam Meng and Su Erya.

Old Mrs. Liu and the others only needed to do some work such as washing, cutting and cooking.

And the people who wash peppers are specifically responsible for washing peppers, the people who cut meat are specifically responsible for cutting meat, and the people who light the fire are specifically responsible for lighting the fire.

By hiring someone to do the work, Shen Yueyao doesn't have to do it herself, she only needs to coordinate and arrange it.

Shen Yueyao then went to Zhou Tong's house.

Now Zhou Tong and her daughter Zhou Ni have moved to Liuhe Village.

It’s on the same street as Shen Yueyao and the others.

If there is anything, Shen Yueyao can just walk over and find Zhou Tong.

"Sister Zhou Tong, you're busy at home."

When Zhou Tong saw Shen Yueyao coming, he quickly put down the work in his hands and welcomed Shen Yueyao in with a smile.

Even Zhou Tong's daughter Zhou Ni looked at Shen Yueyao and called sweetly, "Auntie."

Zhou Tong knew that Shen Yueyao must have come for something.

Shen Yueyao had come to Zhou Tong many times to ask her to make things, so she said directly: "Sister Zhou Tong, I came here to discuss a business with you."

"Sister Shen, just tell me what you want. If I can help, just tell me directly. Don't talk nonsense about business or not."

Shen Yueyao knew that Zhou Tong had previously charged very low prices for things he had made, including some farm tools and ox carts.

If she hadn't insisted, Zhou Tong might not have asked for the money.

Shen Yueyao had business, so naturally she wanted to take Zhou Tong with her.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Sister Zhou Tong, I won't lie to you. I'm not going to use a gourd jar for my chili meat sauce anymore. It's too troublesome for me to make a gourd jar myself. I plan to use a more delicate wooden jar. I know you can make these, so I thought I'd order it from you..."

"The number used may not be large at the beginning, but after the workshop is built and the scale is expanded, at least several hundred wooden jars will be used every day. I plan to sell them in the county town, so I want the packaging to look good..."

"You can do these at the beginning, and later on, if there are more, you can also bring more people to work with you. Anyway, I will cooperate with you and settle the bill for the goods from you. What do you think?"

Shen Yueyao has been dealing with Zhou Tong for a long time, so when it comes to business, she speaks directly without any extra words.

When Zhou Tong heard this, she stood up excitedly and said, "Sister, you are helping me."

"Everyone knows that your chili con carne business is booming, and you're smart and capable. Working with you is a sure-win, stable business."

Zhou Tong usually does craftsman work and makes things. He makes money when there is work, and is idle when there is no work.

She had saved some money before, but it was all taken away by Shi Ding, and she didn't have much money left.

In addition, moving, buying a house and furnishing things here also cost some money.

Zhou Tong naturally wanted to earn some income, but she was only good at craftsmanship.

It would be great if I could make money making wooden jars.

She can do a lot in a day, and this task is simple and not tedious.

Moreover, Sister Shen said that if she was too busy, she could ask everyone she knew to help.

Or to teach apprentices to do these jobs.

She is not afraid of someone else snatching this kind of work away from her, since the person she is working with is Shen Yueyao anyway.

Needless to say, the relationship between the two is very close.

Doing something like this is stable and down-to-earth, and she just needs to do her best.

Zhou Tong excitedly grabbed Shen Yueyao's hand, not knowing what to say.

Shen Yueyao looked at her and said, "Look at you, you didn't even ask the price."

"Is there any need to ask? I feel at ease doing business with you."

Shen Yueyao said, "How about one for two cents?"

When Zhou Tong heard this, he was moved and shocked.

Making wooden jars is easy, and one costs two cents. She makes hundreds of them a day, which means she earns two hundred cents.

Zhou Tong didn't even dare to think about it.

"Needless to say, you are taking care of me."

Zhou Tong would definitely agree.

The two people discussed the specific details again and signed a contract.

After that, Shen Yueyao went back.

Zhou Tong stood at the door and saw Shen Yueyao off for a while. After he could no longer see Shen Yueyao, he returned to the yard in a daze.

Zhou Ni saw that her mother looked unhappy and called out, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, this is a happy thing."

Zhou Ni waved her hand in front of her mother.

Zhou Tong finally came to her senses. She hugged her daughter and said, "My daughter, I will let you live a good life in the future."

"Mom isn't afraid of hard work. Making wooden jars is easy for her. I can make a lot of them by myself in a day."

"Even if we're too busy, Mom can still take on two apprentices, and we can hire people later. Your aunt is helping us. Fortunately, we moved to Liuhe Village, so we can benefit from it. Your aunt is really kind..."

Zhou Tong sighed for a long time.

Zhou Ni smiled and said, "Mom, I can help you too. I can do these things too."

Zhou Ni has been learning carpentry skills from her mother since she was a child, and she can even do simple things like making wooden pipes.

Zhou Tong said, "We must do a good job and follow this drawing and this size. We can't make any mistakes."

Zhou Ni nodded seriously, "Yeah."

…

When Shen Yueyao is busy like this, Dabao and Erbao become more obedient.

They are beginning to learn to read now.

When their father was not at home, the two of them would practice writing with a brush.

When Dad comes home in the evening, he will check the characters they have practiced.

Of course, they only need to practice for a while every day. When they are bored, they can look at the calligraphy stickers that Shen Yueyao drew for them.

She also draws storytelling.

They watch it several times a day.

This can be considered as an enlightenment for the eldest and second children.

However, Shen Yueyao has been busy building a house and a workshop recently, and has no time to tell stories to Dabao and Erbao.

But Su Xueyi would tell Dabao and Erbao some interesting stories when she came back in the evening.

Su Xueyi tells the childhood stories of some celebrities of this era to teach Dabao and Erbao.

As for the chili meat sauce, Shen Shaojing called two peddlers over.

One is called Jiang Qi and the other is called Fang Zhen.

Both of them were about seventeen or eighteen years old. Because their family conditions were poor, the clothes they wore were very worn out, but they were washed very clean and they looked very thin.

If Fourth Brother hadn't said they were strong, Shen Yueyao would have worried that they wouldn't be able to carry the shoulder pole.

When the two came to see Shen Yueyao, they were both very shy, their faces a little red and very restrained.

They didn't know where to put their hands. They were very nervous, afraid that Brother Shen's sister would think they were bad and not need them to work.

They knew that Brother Shen’s sister was a capable person who could lead everyone to make money.

Brother Shen had given them preserved eggs and chili meat sauce before, which was so delicious that they could still savor it just thinking about it now.

Shen Yueyao looked at them and said, "My fourth brother told me about you. He said that no matter how difficult your family's conditions were, you never did anything bad and always stuck to your bottom line. And because of your relationship with my fourth brother, I feel at ease using you."

After hearing this, Jiang Qi and Fang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Listen to my conditions and requirements first."

“What you have to do is sell it.”

"The base salary is very low, only 100 coins per month. Your wages are mainly based on your performance. You get a commission of 1 coin for each can you sell. The more you sell, the more you earn. Of course, there will be monthly evaluations. If the sales volume is too low, I will fire you."

"The more capable you are, the more you'll earn. If you do a good job, you can become a manager, take on apprentices, and receive bonuses..."

Shen Yueyao knew that the most important thing for a workshop was sales.

Only when sales are good can the workshop really operate.

This is where the funding comes from.

So Shen Yueyao follows the commission method.

The better they do, the more money they will make.

Of course, appropriate pressure will also be applied.

Jiang Qi and Fang Zhen couldn't believe what they heard.

If they sold a hundred jars a day, that would be a hundred coins.

They know that the chili meat sauce is delicious and will definitely sell well if they sell it to takeout.

There are several towns and county towns around.

They are not afraid of hardship and can walk dozens of miles a day.

As long as they can make money, they won’t feel any pain even if their feet are rubbed raw.

The key is that when they think about making more money, they are very excited and can't wait to get started.

They knew that when things were good before, Brother Shen sold five or six hundred cans of chili meat sauce a day.

If they were not brothers with Brother Shen, Brother Shen would not have thought of them for such a good thing.

"Don't worry, boss. We will do our best."

"Yes, boss, we will sell more chili con carne every day. We are not afraid of hard work."

Shen Yueyao said: "When the workshop expands in the future, the more you sell, the higher the commission will be. By then, it will be normal to earn several hundred coins a day."

"You don't have to limit yourself to selling chili meat sauce from door to door. You can cooperate with some merchants. If they place orders for thousands of cans at once, the commission will also be yours..."

What Shen Yueyao said was also true. They would earn commission based on how many orders they could get.

If you have the ability, one or two taels of silver a day is not a problem.

Jiang Qi and Fang Zhen were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out of their chests after hearing these words.

Because I was too excited, my palms were sweating.

They actually didn't dare to think about earning one or two taels of silver a day.

But what the boss said made them dare to think about it, and the excitement made their blood rush to their heads.
