Jiang Xia stayed up all night reading a retro-themed novel. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself as the male protagonist’s doomed ex-wife in that very story.
Her storyline began ...
Chapter 713 Born
Jiang Xia arrived at the factory at 7:45, which was exactly the time when many workers went to work.
Jiang Xia did not drive the car in, but parked it outside. Several people got out of the car and walked in, and then they heard someone discussing Liao Ruixiang and Li Xiuxian.
One of them was from Liaojia Village.
"Li Xiuxian gave birth last night at the town health center. My sister-in-law happened to be on duty, so she helped with the delivery. She came back early this morning and told me about it."
"Give birth? What did you give birth to?"
"It's a girl. My sister-in-law said that she looks exactly like Liao Ruixiang! She also looks like her grandmother. She is definitely Liao Ruixiang's child. My sister-in-law said that when Liao's mother heard that it was a girl, her face turned black. After seeing the child, she said why she didn't look like Liao Ruixiang at all. Tsk, everyone in the obstetrics and gynecology department thought that she looked exactly like the father. She said she didn't look like him!"
"What does Liao Ruixiang say?"
"Liao Ruixiang is quite rare, it means he looks very similar! He looks exactly like me in my childhood photo."
…
Jiang Xia walked into the guard room and didn't listen to their discussion.
Jiang Xia wrote a meeting notice on the small blackboard in the guard room and asked the guard to tell several leaders when he saw them.
At eight o'clock, Jiangxia held a production meeting for about half an hour. After the meeting, the Marquis came with two large trucks of goods.
One truck was loaded with fresh kelp, the other with squid and dried fish.
He also came to the factory opening yesterday and gave gifts.
I gave her a mirror screen, a jade cabbage ornament and a large brass Pixiu ornament.
Maybe sending flower baskets was not a custom in that era, but nowadays, when a company opens, many people will send flower baskets.
Jiang Xia asked the warehouse manager and workers in the cleaning workshop to help unload the goods.
The warehouse workers are all men, and the workers in the cleaning workshop are half men and half women. After all, the cleaning work requires pouring the raw materials into the cleaning equipment, which requires some effort, and men are stronger.
The Lord Hou and Jiang Xia stood by and watched everyone unloading the goods. He said to Jiang Xia, "Let the workers hurry up and produce. Give them more bonuses and have them work overtime at night. The more they produce, the better. It's the end of the year, and every household needs to give gifts and buy some food to entertain guests. Sales will only get better and better."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I know. You've said it many times. You can't exploit your employees!"
Lord Hou: "Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't pay attention? For a whole year, the production has not increased. I only have 3,000 kilograms a day, and it's not enough for me to sell! Everyone comes to me to get the goods."
He was also anxious! Many people came to him to buy goods, and everyone asked for more, but he had no goods to give to others!
There are other companies producing dried fish for sale on the market, but the best-selling ones are still those produced in Jiangxia. People think that those produced in Jiangxia are tastier and cleaner.
It's not that the taste is not good enough, but some people make the food so delicious that you can taste sand, or they use stale fish and give you diarrhea after eating it.
Only the goods from Jiangxia are bought again and again, and no one says there is any problem.
Except that there were some problems with the packaging during transportation, it was broken and leaked.
No one says there is a problem with the quality of the dried fish. They all say it tastes good, but is a bit expensive.
But even though it’s expensive, many people still buy it.
Jiang Xia was a little amused: "You can't be too impatient. The factory was just built and I opened it right away. You know I wanted to open it after the Chinese New Year."
"You're still making a lot of money after Chinese New Year! After Chinese New Year! You just don't have the motivation to make money! Hurry up, I've been waiting for your factory to be built! Pay more wages so that the workers in the factory can produce as much as they can. I'll have someone send a truckload of kelp and dried fish this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I'll move away all the goods sent today, I don't care about you. Just work hard! If you don't have enough people, hire more."
"Try as much as you can."
Jiang Xia still doesn’t know the output of a production line at the end of the day.
As for asking workers to work overtime, Jiang Xia is casual about it.
However, the factory provides food and accommodation, and only charges workers three yuan per month for food and accommodation.
When filling out the employment forms yesterday, many workers who live in the factory were very happy to work overtime at night.
Because you can earn more money by working overtime, and the overtime pay is doubled at night.
I work from seven in the evening to ten in the evening, a total of three hours, but I can only get six hours' wages.
It’s almost like working a whole day.
Moreover, most people of this generation are really able to endure hardships! They are tired of living a hard life, being poor, and not having enough to eat or wear warm clothes. They all hope to make more money to change their lives.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, we have to give gifts to relatives, buy food to entertain guests, give out red envelopes, and buy new clothes for children. There are many places to spend money.
Sometimes, celebrating the New Year is really a burden for poor people.
Some workers knew that overtime pay would be doubled, but they would still be willing to work overtime if they did not have children at home and had to go home.
"Can't you build a few more temporary stoves here? Or buy a few more production lines!"
Jiang Xia ignored him. Can the production line just buy it? At this time, a tractor pulled another tractor of potatoes to the factory gate.
The Marquis asked again, "What are these potatoes for? Have you thought of a new snack?"
"Yes. Come over this afternoon and you can try the new products. I guarantee that these two new products will sell better than small fish! Because they are cheaper."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When the Marquis heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to it!
Even Jiang Xia said that this thing sold better than Xiaoyuzi, what was it? When the kelp was moved to the cleaning workshop, Jiang Xia and Hou Ye changed into clothes and shoes, put on hats and masks and walked in.
The two watched everyone move the kelp into the cleaning workshop.
Jiangxia needs to see whether the automatic cleaning equipment is cleaning thoroughly.
The kelp delivered was freshly harvested, in pieces, and needed to be processed into kelp knots and kelp shreds.
In order to save workers' workload, the kelp will first be cleaned on the cleaning equipment, and then the workers will process it into kelp knots and kelp threads, and then wash it again.
These female comrades are better at tying kelp knots.
But they had to move around a lot, so when Jiangxia was recruiting people for the cleaning workshop, they asked for some male comrades.
Lord Hou watched the workers pour basket after basket of kelp into the conveyor belt, which then transported the kelp to the cleaning pool. Before falling into the cleaning pool, it passed through a rolling brush and a high-pressure spray area to remove impurities on the surface of the kelp, and then fell into the cleaning pool to continue cleaning.
Those floating objects and impurities can overflow from the overflow tank, and the sediment can be discharged from the sewage outlet.
After washing, they are sent into the prepared baskets by the conveyor belt.
There are workers guarding the place, and they change the baskets when they are full.
After watching the whole process, the Marquis looked at the time again. The whole process took twenty minutes. He praised: "This is so convenient!"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Yes."
"Can about 200 kilograms be cleaned at a time?" The Marquis saw the workers pour in about four baskets of kelp, which was about 200 kilograms.
"almost."
“That’s a lot faster than cleaning it manually.”
Jiang Xia: "I plan to wash it a second time, but the second time can be shorter."
Jiang Xia planned to tie the kelp into a kelp knot after washing it for the first time and then wash it again.
When the workers were tying kelp knots, if they saw some mud or other things on the kelp that could not be washed off by machines, they would wash it manually and discard those that were of poor quality, had worm holes, or were damaged.
Anyway, she has to ensure that the kelp that consumers eat is clean, hygienic and of good quality.
