Chapter 359: Tired and thin, due date

"Wanwan!"

Aunt Wang's voice suddenly rang out, and Shen Xiangwan turned around and said with a smile: "Aunt Wang, you came at the right time. I was just about to take them to the workshop."

"Why would you need to come in person for this kind of thing? Which of them are going to be placed in the sorghum wine workshop?"

Now she is the general manager of the ointment and brewing workshops. When she got off work yesterday, Shen Xiangwan told her that most of the people recruited this time would be placed in the sorghum wine workshop, and she would need to take them back and hand them over to the managers of each group. So, after arranging everyone's work today, she hurried out to pick them up.

"Wait a moment."

Giving her a look that asked her to wait, Shen Xiangwan turned around and asked, "How many people have we recruited in total?"

"Ma'am, three hundred and forty people."

Yuan Yue, who was in charge of registration, replied with a smile. She had seen the lady not stopping before, and she thought she was going to recruit 400 people.

"Give 240 of them to Aunt Wang and ask her to take them to the sorghum wine workshop."

"good."

After receiving her instructions, Yuanyue got up and counted 240 people. Aunt Wang did not waste any time and quickly took them to the workshop.

"As for the remaining one hundred people, Yuanyue, take them to the wine workshop first and temporarily divide them into three groups. One group will be responsible for cleaning, one group will be responsible for removing the seeds, and one group will be responsible for assembling them into vats for fermentation."

Logically, they should be divided into five groups, and two groups should be responsible for draining the grape residue and bottling the precipitated wine respectively. However, they do not have fermented wine yet, so they can only join the first three groups first and redistribute them after the wine is fermented.

"yes."

Nodding, Yuanyue called the remaining one hundred people and took them to the workshop.

Chen Xiangwan and Yuan Ying returned home with the contracts signed by those people. On the surface, she took the contracts back to the room, but in fact, she had quietly put them into the space. Only by keeping these things in the space would there be no possibility of loss or damage.

With more than 200 people in the sorghum wine workshop, the output will definitely double, and then it will be able to be sold openly in Chenzhou area. The wine workshop will have a scale of 100 people, and will continue to brew every day. In half a month, it will be able to produce 10,000 bottles a day, which is enough to support the operation of their branches in Mingzhou and Jiaozhou. By then, her wealth will increase exponentially. Even if the army reaches a scale of 300,000 people, plus the income from glass and snowflake salt, it should be enough to cover expenses.

Hearing that they had expanded their scale, the kiln factory that had been cooperating with them for a long time quickly recruited staff. As expected, they soon received orders from the Wei family. Not only did the number of ordinary wine jars increase several times, but the blue and white porcelain wine bottles actually required hundreds of thousands every month. Even though he had been prepared, the kiln factory owner almost burst into tears and had to continue recruiting workers.

In addition, Zhao Dajiang also received a large number of orders. Although Shen Xiangwan had already agreed with Cheng Yusheng that starting from next month, wine sold in Chenzhou would no longer be given away with wine glasses, Mingzhou and Jiaozhou, which were in urgent need of opening up the market, still needed a large number of bamboo boxes.

"Are you done?"

In mid-May, the first batch of wine in the wine workshop was finally bottled. Shen Xiangwan was completely exhausted. Yun Mengyi couldn't help but look at her with some heartache. Grapes were not like sorghum and could not be stored for a long time. During this period, she got up around the hour of Mao every day. The first thing she did after going downstairs was to go to the warehouse and quietly replenish the grapes needed for the day. Moreover, because the workers were all novices, she would personally watch them almost every day and teach them tirelessly.

"Um."

Leaning back in his chair, Shen Xiangwan squinted his eyes and nodded: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to watch over the workshop. I have already told the managers that if anyone still makes a mistake, they will be fired directly."

She could understand that those people had never done this kind of work before, but she had been teaching them for a full half month, and it would be unacceptable if they still couldn't do it. Moreover, she would not have to get up early every day to replenish the grapes in the warehouse. She only needed to go once every two or three days, or go after they got off work.

"Well, have a good rest. Look at you, aren't you tired and thin?"

The more Yun Mengyi looked at her, the more she felt that her chin seemed to be getting thinner. She secretly thought about asking the kitchen to make more soup for her later to nourish her body and make up for the weight she had lost.

"How could that be? Master, you've seen it wrong."

Hearing this, Shen Xiangwan touched her face. Although she was indeed a little tired during this period and couldn't even do research, she had a good appetite, so she shouldn't lose weight, right?

"If you don't believe me, ask my old man."

As she spoke, Yun Mengyi raised her elbow and nudged her old man. Facing Shen Xiangwan's questioning gaze, Ji Shaohan quickly agreed with his wife: "She looks a lot thinner."

"Yeah?"

Why doesn't she think so?

Shen Xiangwan couldn’t help but touch her face again and decided to take a closer look in the mirror later. She hadn’t paid so much attention to it recently.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, Master's wife. Your due date is in the next few days. Don't go out anymore. Go for a walk in the backyard to avoid any unexpected situations."

Shaking off the messy thoughts in her mind, Shen Xiangwan reminded her in a deep voice that she used to take her pulse once a day, but recently it has been changed to once in the morning and once in the evening.

"good."

Stroking her increasingly swollen belly, Yun Mengyi nodded with a smile, but Ji Shaohan beside her was full of anxiety, fearing that some unexpected situation would occur.

"Aunt!"

As they were talking, Wu Lixiu came back with the children. The little cubs were still the same as usual, and immediately rushed towards Shen Xiangwan with Xiaobai.

"Don't throw the schoolbag on me, take it to the small desk and put it there yourself."

Shen Xiangwan picked up the schoolbag thrown on her legs and returned it to him in a bad mood. You little brat, you are getting tougher and tougher.

"oh!"

Hearing this, the little cub didn't dare to do anything else. He picked up his schoolbag and walked towards the small desk in the corner. It was specially made by Shen Xiangwan for him to write conveniently.

“Ahhh!”

Xiaobai, who could no longer be called a wolf cub, raised his head and barked twice, then moved closer and rubbed against Shen Xiangwan, just like a little cub pestering her and acting coquettishly.

"Be good, go play with your brother, I'll give you some water later."

Shen Xiangwan rubbed its head lovingly and coaxed it with a smile on her face. She had already gotten used to it always pestering her and acting coquettishly.

“Ahhh…”

As if he understood what she said, Xiaobai called out twice before turning around and running towards his little brother. The little cub had just put away his schoolbag, and the two brothers hugged each other and fell on the cushion laughing.

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan laughed and shook his head. Yun Mengyi, who was standing beside him, was halfway through laughing when she suddenly grabbed Ji Shaohan and said, "Um... old, old man..."

"Meng Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing her pale face and sweating profusely, Ji Shaohan was startled, and his concerned voice attracted everyone's attention.
