Farming in the Apocalypse

Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...

Chapter 235 Sister, don’t let outsiders take advantage of your wealth

Because the government is stabilizing the population, it is right to follow the pace of those above, which makes the family full of confidence in this.

Finally, after the family discussed, Jingma paid 1,500 virtual coins to hold a 20% stake, and Jingma paid another 1,500 virtual coins to Jingnai and Jingye to hold 20%. All future profits will belong to the old couple.

Jingshu contributed 1,500 virtual coins, but it also had to include all fuel coal, natural gas, electricity, etc., so Jingshu accounted for 40%.

Then my aunt will be responsible for the factory's labor and labor expenses, as well as management, and will hold a 20% stake.

The final sales and storage are completed by Jingshu, which means that the eldest aunt is only responsible for production and does not have to worry about anything else, not even sales.

The uncle opened his mouth wide, not daring to believe that Jingshu's family would casually take out so much virtual currency? Of course, they gave the pigs to him. If they didn't have some money, how could they dare to give them pigs?

My aunt was a bit flattered. "Labor is so cheap these days. If I just yelled, I could get two meals of porridge or rice porridge a day. The people lining up here would circle the entire county. Besides, we're just responsible for collecting red nematodes and turning them into feed. It's not a big deal. How can we use it as virtual currency?"

What's the concept of a cryptocurrency? A civil servant's annual salary could last two and a half years if he ate white rice once a day! In the apocalyptic famine, as long as the government survives, survival is guaranteed!

"Auntie, we don't know when this factory will make a profit from the feed. You have to put in a lot of grain every day. And once the factory opens, we won't have time to manage it. We have to rely on you. We can't trust anyone else, so we can only trust our own family."

"But family members also have to be clear about their accounts in business, according to the charter and contract. As for the factory's personnel and management, my aunt can allocate and pay wages however she wants.

But you are only responsible for collecting the red nematodes, reconciling the accounts, and then turning the red nematodes into feed. Every few days, I will have someone come to collect a batch. Both parties must complete the handover and detailed records. After the profit is made, the money will be divided into four parts strictly according to the detailed records, including the reconciliation of the red nematodes collected and the virtual currency spent.

"Whatever you say, don't worry. There is my elderly parents' money in it, and I will not be careless at all. I thought about it and decided that I will be responsible for collecting the red nematodes. It's more reassuring to handle the money myself, and I don't trust anyone else." The eldest aunt said that now her brother-in-law and sister-in-law have included the elderly couple in the money, and to be honest, she is very touched.

Jingshu, Jingma, Jingnai and Jingpan signed the contract and put their fingerprints on it. The family went to choose a factory very efficiently. Oh, it can't even be called a factory, it can only be regarded as a simple model house, which is where the people of Wuxian who were flooded live.

There are still a few of these model houses left. When the Wu County government learned that someone was going to open a factory and recruit workers, they were very happy. This is simply reducing their burden.

"These temporary buildings are empty anyway, so I'll rent them to you for free. I heard you also need a feed preparation machine, and I happen to have it. We have all the equipment you need, and I'll sell them all to you for 200 virtual coins."

After all, it is different from the compressed biscuits made by the government, which are too expensive. Jingshu mostly feeds them to poultry, so as long as they are almost cooked and dry and can be stored, it will be fine.

In this way, the equipment and location were determined with 200 virtual coins, and the next step was to recruit workers.

"We can start work after the second day of the Lunar New Year and start recruiting people. Then we can have them come to work directly."

"This process requires at least eight people, and they have to be strong."

The eldest aunt gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then let's hire eight more people. After the New Year, let Qiaolian and her family go back. We can't afford to support them anymore."

Working eight hours a day, no holidays, and provided with two meals of noodle porridge or rice porridge every day, these conditions are very good in the small county town of Wuxian.

Although the noodle porridge only costs 0.5 virtual coins, it is pitifully small. The noodle porridge at my aunt's house is enough for a meal, which is equivalent to an investment of 1 virtual coin a day.

But the food at my aunt's house is what's left over from last year, plus the money earned from raising a lot of pigs this year, so the cost is relatively low, but it still costs 1,600 virtual currency to work for half a year.

But the return... is more than ten times, so my aunt's family has not lost anything, it's even worth it.

After returning home at noon, the eldest aunt told everyone about this matter, "Qiao Lian's mother, you have to go back after the first day of the new year. Since we have opened a factory, we have to give the food to the workers. If we give it to the workers, we won't be able to make ends meet for you."

Qiao Lian's mother smiled with wrinkled cheeks and said, "Look at how polite your in-laws are. I just happened to have a plan for you. When the factory opens, you'll be busy, your father-in-law will be busy, and even Wei Zheng will be busy. I'll take care of Qiao Lian, and let my husband and three sons go to the factory to help. Count your second sister and her family, and we'll be one family, right? There's no need to hire anyone, right?"

Qiao Lian kicked her mother hard. How dare she say anything!

When Second Aunt heard about this job, she thought it was a good one. She would get two meals a day and could rest when she was tired. After all, it was a factory run by her own sister and brother. "That's great, sister. It's a good thing. Let us work here."

Jingshu narrowed her eyes. She wanted to see how her aunt would handle it and whether it was worth her investment this time. In fact, she did not lack this virtual currency. It was just that her family needed to earn the virtual currency by proving themselves. They needed their family to become stronger.

The eldest aunt laughed and said, "The factory doesn't belong to me alone. It belongs to my elderly parents, my sister-in-law Su Lanzhi, and my niece Jingshu. We must strictly follow the division of labor in the contract. Those machines are all manually operated. As long as you can grind the red nematodes, cook them, and then compress them for eight hours a day, anyone can do this job as long as you are capable. If you can't complete the daily order volume, you won't have a meal."

"Who wants to do it?" asked the aunt.

Qiao Lian's family couldn't bear this hardship, but the eldest son still stepped forward and said that he would do it and would definitely complete the order quantity. The eldest aunt agreed, saying, "Brothers in the factory settle accounts clearly and only look at orders, not other things."

Cousin Li Yun pushed his mother and said, "Mom, go and do it, otherwise we won't have anything to eat."

Second Aunt looked at her useless husband and finally said through gritted teeth: "Okay, then count me in."

In this way, my aunt still needs to recruit six more people, and she needs to weigh these six people.

The dinner was unusually sumptuous because it was prepared by Jingshu's family.

Originally, they were having rice porridge, and my uncle had even brought out last year's pickled vegetables, frozen pears, and a cold dish. But as more people turned up, the naughty kids snatched them all up before Jingshu and the others even saw them...

"Well, let's make some dinner."
