Chapter 141 Workshop Opening
Ye Caiping didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Zhao Laizi and Li Qinai.
As long as the time comes, she can just go to the funeral.
The workshop will be officially opened and operational tomorrow, so she has to focus on it.
The next day was February 1st.
On this day, Ye Xuan and Ye Peng went back to the town to attend classes, Ye Yong went to Wangjia Village as an apprentice, and even Jinhua went to the cloth shop to work and learn things.
Ye Caiping's workshop also opened today.
The twenty-five selected villagers gathered in front of the workshop and chatted excitedly.
Those who were not selected came over to watch. Ye Lizheng and his family also came.
After all, opening a workshop was a new thing for them, and they all came to watch the fun.
"Caiping is here!" Tieniu's wife said excitedly.
Not only Ye Caiping, but everyone in the Ye family came, except for the three who were at school or working.
I saw Old Lady Ye setting up the table, burning incense with chicken, meat, fruit snacks. All I heard was Old Man Ye shouting, "Good luck with the grand opening!"
Ye Caiping then tore down the red cloth sign hanging on the gate, on which was a plaque with the words "Qinghe Hu La Fang" written on it.
The villagers clapped their hands excitedly: "Great, great! But I don't know what is written on it."
Ye Lizheng said unhappily, "It says Qinghe Hu La Fang."
"Thank you all for coming. We are about to go in and work. Please feel free to share the snacks we just offered to the gods. If you are not satisfied, we have more here." Ye Caiping said with a smile.
Although the villagers were disappointed that they couldn’t visit the workshop, they were still pleasantly surprised that Ye Caiping shared snacks with everyone.
Old Mrs. Ye and Xiaoyan stayed to distribute food to the villagers.
The snack is white sugar cake, which is beautiful and relatively cheap.
But the villagers were still very happy to get a piece, after all, not everyone was willing to spend money on sweets in this era.
"Uncle Lizheng, come in and take a look!" Ye Caiping specially invited Ye Lizheng.
Ye Lizheng immediately smiled and followed Ye Caiping and the selected employees into the workshop.
After entering, Ye Caiping asked everyone to stand in the open space and hold a small meeting:
“Does everyone know their workstations?”
Ye Siquan said, "I see. I am the one guarding the warehouse."
Ye Zhuzi: "Hey, me too."
Tie Niu's wife: "I am packing. What is packing?"
“I’m a stir-fry!”
“I’m abrasive.”
"I'm a porter."
On the shortlist, each person’s name is followed by the job title.
Most of the villagers are illiterate, but since this is a matter of livelihood, they will naturally try to ask people who can read, and in the end they all know the names of their work stations.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "The packers are paid 25 wen per day, and the other workers are paid 30 wen per day. The monthly wages will be paid out on the morning of the 3rd of the following month."
Packing is the easiest job, so the wages are lower.
When everyone heard the price, they couldn't believe it and looked surprised.
"It's actually 25 cents!" Tie Niu's wife grinned excitedly.
Before this, Ye Caiping had never revealed how much the wages would be, but all the villagers signed up enthusiastically.
Because it is not easy to find a job, and it is right at your doorstep, so you don’t have to worry about food and accommodation.
Everyone thought that Ye Caiping was generous as she paid 25 wen a day for building a house, so they guessed that it should be at least 15 to 20 wen a day.
Unexpectedly, even the easiest workstation costs 25 cents! Other workstations have reached 30 Wen!
"Working hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. every morning. After a one-hour break, work resumes and ends at 6:00 p.m. Each person has two days off per month."
When the villagers heard this, they were excited again: "It's amazing that we can take such a long break for lunch."
"When I was carrying heavy bags, I only had 15 minutes to eat. I had to keep working before I finished my meal. I had to work before daybreak in the morning and only left work when it was too dark to see at night."
“And there are breaks every month!”
The villagers thought this treatment was really good.
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Come on, I'll tell you what to do when you go to work."
Ye Caiping led the employees into the workshop.
Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei followed excitedly.
Wei frowned and whispered to Du, "This wage is too high. When my father started delivering goods for my younger sister, he only made 25 cents a day, and the price went up later. When they came, they got the same wage as us."
Mrs. Du rolled her eyes at her and said, "How can you compare like that! Delivering goods and making spicy soup are so much easier! Look, we worked today, but now we still have time to visit the workshop!"
"It's the same with my father who makes deliveries. Although he makes three trips a day, he comes back after each delivery, so he has a lot of time to rest. But when working in a workshop, he only has a short break in the middle, and the rest of the time he is working."
Wei thought about it and nodded, "Sister-in-law is right."
Ye Caiping led everyone to a room and opened the door:
"This is the material warehouse. The received goods will be placed here. The people who cook the materials will pick up the goods from here and cook them. Jin'er, you will be responsible for receiving the goods and registering the incoming and outgoing materials."
"Okay." Ye Jin'er nodded and looked inside the warehouse.
Mother clearly said that the goods would not arrive until today, but there were already more than a dozen large wooden barrels piled up inside, and it looked like there was something inside.
But it’s not a good time to ask too many questions now.
Ye Caiping led everyone to another room, where there were ten large stoves for frying ingredients.
After the spices are taken out from the warehouse, they are fried here, then taken to the grinding room to be ground into powder and then sent to the batching room.
After all the ingredients are mixed in proportion, they are sent to the cans, sealed with wax and labeled, and finally sent to the finished product warehouse.
"Huan'er, the shipping matter will be left to you from now on." Ye Caiping said.
Ye Huan'er was puzzled: "Mom, I want to trade with my sister. Receiving goods and entering and leaving materials are more complicated. I'm smarter than my sister, so let me do it!"
Ye Jin'er was so angry that she wanted to pinch her.
Ye Caiping touched Ye Huaner's head and said, "Silly child, you need to train your sister more!"
If she was replaced by a smart one, how would she have managed to sneak in the pepper and other things bought from the system?
Everyone present listened and laughed.
"Is everyone clear about the steps and sequence?" Ye Caiping said.
"knew."
"It's just... I can't read. I'm afraid I'll get the wrong ingredients..."
"Don't be afraid, just remember what they look like. Don't stir-fry or grind different spices together, just remember this."
"Also, all the ground materials must be packed into bags according to weight."
The employees corresponded to their positions and recalled what they had to do one by one.
As they were talking, suppliers were delivering goods one after another.
Ye Caiping took Ye Jiner and her sister to count and receive the goods.
Wait until everything is moved into the material warehouse. When no one was around, Ye Jiner said:
"Mom, when were these barrels delivered?"
Ye Caiping lowered her voice and said, "This is the most expensive pepper, Sichuan pepper and white cardamom. I met a supplier by accident. He doesn't go through the usual route, and the price is 80% cheaper than the market price!"
Ye Jiner and her sister gasped, it’s an 80% bargain!
"This supplier only delivers to me and will deliver at a secret time. As long as there is nothing missing in the warehouse, if there are suddenly more of these three kinds of spices, it means the goods have arrived. I will tell you how much is delivered each time."
The two daughters nodded solemnly and nervously.
Ye Huan'er said worriedly, "This... is 80% cheaper, which is a bit outrageous. Are these goods really okay?"
"No problem, trust me."
Ye Huaner felt relieved after hearing this. As long as her mother said it was okay, then it was okay.
Even if there is a problem, it’s not a problem!
