Chapter 249 Smooth Operation and Salary Increase
Ye Caiping coughed dryly: "No...where did all these cats come from!"
Ye Caiping didn't know how to explain it.
Did you just say it was sent by Shen Zhiyan? I always feel a little embarrassed.
"This is... I picked it up! It's right outside the door. I just happened to be craving for fish, so I picked it up and brought it in... I'll go catch some more and we'll make a mixed fish stew for lunch!"
After saying that, Ye Caiping put the fish in a basin, poured some water into it, then turned around and ran out.
Halfway through the journey, she suddenly stopped, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. It was a mistake!
She should have run directly to the river, caught half a basket of fish, and mixed the small quarry in among them!
Now, the little fish has become a conspicuous thing!
In order to prevent the small fish from continuing to be conspicuous, Ye Caiping quickly went to the river and started fishing.
Because the bait was good, he caught half a basket of miscellaneous fish in less than half an hour.
There are yellow croaker, knife loach, creeping tiger...but there is no croaker.
Finally, when I was about to go home, I caught another big grass carp.
Ye Caiping walked back carrying a basket of miscellaneous fish and a large grass carp with its gills tied with grass.
From afar, three little kids were seen coming towards this side, each carrying a bundle of firewood. They turned out to be Hu Xiuxiu's three youngest brothers.
"Where are we going?" Ye Caiping asked.
The three little kids were timid when they saw Ye Caiping. Hu Xiaowu said, "We just went up the mountain to collect firewood."
Since they were going the same way, they chatted as they walked.
Ye Caiping asked, "Are you going to sell this firewood?"
Hu Xiaowu nodded: "Yes, we can collect six bundles of firewood every day, save three bundles at home, and sell three bundles to Aunt Ping's workshop, and we can get six cents!"
Seeing how cute and diligent they were, Ye Caiping couldn't help but smile, "Is it okay to eat at home?"
"We all have enough to eat. My third brother gets paid every month. We have six mu of land, but we are small and my mother and fourth brother can't farm it alone, so we rent out four mu. We have two mu left, one for rice and one for cassava."
"My fourth brother said that cassava doesn't require much care and is easy to grow."
Ye Caiping was almost home, and gave them the big grass carp in her hand: "Here, this is for you."
The three little kids were startled and waved their hands quickly: "Thank you, Aunt Ping, but that's okay..."
"Why not? My family can't finish eating so many fish."
Hu Xiaoliu said timidly: "Fourth brother said that we can't take things from the Ye family..."
Ye Caiping understood, because they had always been said to be a burden to Hu Xiuxiu, and children also have self-esteem.
In order to prove that they are not a burden, they have always kept their distance from the Ye family.
Ye Caiping said, "It's nothing. I'll give it to any random villager I meet. I'll take it home and say it was given to me by an aunt in the village."
She was telling the truth. It was just a fish and she couldn't eat so much. If it were another villager, she would have given it to her after chatting with him.
Having said that, he hung the grass carp on the firewood behind Hu Xiaowu, turned around and left.
The three little kids were at a loss and finally had to carry the firewood and fish back home.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xiuxiu's mother scolding Hu Xiaosan who had just returned home from work:
"The furniture workshop pays 60 wen a day. You can go and try out for a job. If you're selected, you can earn 1 tael and 8 qian a month!"
Hu Xiaosan pretended not to hear and went into the kitchen to wash his hands. He has always been a bad talker, so if he doesn't want to, he won't answer.
Hu Xiaosi said, "Third brother is only 14 years old. He is young to begin with, so he is lucky to be able to work in the Hu La Tang workshop. That furniture workshop makes furniture, all made of wood. Third brother is small, how can he move?"
"By then, everyone will think he's in the way, how can he do anything? Besides, it's useless to go, there's no chance he'll be elected."
Xiuxiu's mother said angrily, "Your sister is pregnant. Let her go and plead for her this time. She will definitely be chosen."
"Mom is capable, I will go and plead for mercy."
Xiuxiu's mother was choked. That dead girl didn't listen to her at all. What could she say?
And these damn kids, why don’t they listen to her? Xiuxiuniang is about to have a heart attack!
......
At noon, all the owners of the furniture workshops had lunch at Ye Caiping's house, sitting at two tables.
Because Ye Erquan was still busy outside, Wei and Yinhua did not come to eat.
"Drink, drink, drink!" Ye Daquan picked up the wine glass and excitedly drank with Ye Lizheng, Ye Ershu and others.
Ye Caiping, Old Lady Ye and others were concentrating on eating.
Ye Caiping stared at the plate of stewed fish, picked up a fish, looked at it, and put it in Jin'er's bowl.
Pick up another one and put it in Huan'er's bowl.
Old Mrs. Ye watched silently, speechless. Finally, she silently picked up the small quarry in front of her and silently put it into Ye Caiping's bowl.
Ye Caiping: “…”
After dinner, Ye Caiping and others continued to recruit workers for the workshop.
In addition to those in Qinghe Village, Ye Caiping also asked people to post recruitment notices in Wangjia Village.
As soon as the job recruitment was posted, villagers from not only Wangjia Village but also nearby Xiahe Village, Qiaowei Village and other villages flocked to the village.
Ye Caiping simply gave the people from the Hu La Tang workshop a day off tomorrow, which would also make it convenient for them to go and interview the furniture workshop.
After three days of screening, the results finally came out.
Eight people from the Hu La Tang workshop were selected by the furniture workshop, and of the remaining 42 people, 30 were from this village and 12 were from other villages. A total of 50 people.
After recruiting enough people, we started work immediately the next day.
Wang Shuantou and his son and Ye Yong taught the craft. Several people formed a group, and each person mastered different steps and techniques. Some were responsible for planing the wood, some were responsible for chiseling the tenons, and some were responsible for the mortise and tenon grooves.
Simply put, it is an assembly line, with each group responsible for a process.
These technical matters were handed over to Wang Shuantou, Ye Yong and three others.
The management of the workshop was handed over to Ye Lizheng. In addition, a young man who had studied for more than ten years was hired to do accounting matters such as shipping and receiving goods. The man was from Wangjia Village and his name was Wang Neng.
Ye Caiping originally wanted Ye Daquan to guard a warehouse or something, but Ye Daquan was unwilling, so Ye Caiping had to let him go.
Uncle Ye was also unwilling to work in the workshop as he couldn't leave the crops in the fields.
Because of different shareholdings, some bosses work in the workshop and some do not, so those who work have to be paid, otherwise there will be chaos.
Wang Shuantou and his son, Ye Yong and Ye Lizheng all received the same wage, 65 cents a day.
Ye Caiping checked the accounts every night and was paid 50 cents a day.
When they learned that Ye Caiping had set a salary for themselves, Ye Lizheng and Wang Shuantou felt that it was too low.
Ye Lizheng said: "It's difficult to settle the account. How can it be 50 cents a day?"
Ye Caiping said, "It's not difficult. I can finish it in one hour. But you have to work for a whole day. It's nothing."
Wang Shuantou, Ye Lizheng and others looked at each other in surprise.
Ye Caiping now has to look at the accounts of the two workshops.
She was not a fool, she bought a calculator directly from the space. Finally I found that the calculator was not enough, so I went straight to the laptop.
Enter the formula on Excel, input the data, and scroll down, and you can see all the accounts clearly.
Moreover, the laptop is placed in the space, and data can be input by thought, and the operation is as fierce as a tiger! Whatever is convenient for you.
The working hours in the furniture workshop are the same as those of Hu La Tang, 8 hours a day and 2 days off a month.
After the furniture workshop was officially put into operation, Ye Caiping started to work on the Hu La Tang workshop.
There was a shortage of staff there, so Ye Caiping selected 8 people from the village to fill the work positions. In addition, she recruited 5 more people. The total number of people in the workshop is 51.
Early that morning, Ye Caiping personally went to the Hu La Tang workshop to hold a morning meeting:
"You have all been working here for four months since February and have done a great job. You all stayed with me and stayed at your posts even when I was framed. So, starting this month, everyone's wages will increase by 10 cents a day. Oh, the wages of the 13 new people will increase after four months."
When the employees heard this, they were in disbelief: "The salary has increased! So I will only get 40 cents a day?"
Ye Caiping continued, "Also, the rest period used to be 2 days a month, but now it has been changed to 3 days, with one extra day."
"An extra day of rest?" The employee was even happier. "Then this day will be the same, with pay?"
"right."
I used to envy those who earned 60 cents a day in the furniture workshop, but now I feel a little more balanced.
They also got a pay raise! And there is one more day of rest. The furniture workshop seems to be a bit harder.
Calculated this way, it’s about the same!
In fact, Ye Caiping was planning to increase wages and add one more day off after the Chinese New Year, but because the wages in the furniture workshop were high, in order to appease the people at Hu La Tang, she brought forward the salary increase.
Moreover, it is best to increase the price now. Otherwise, if the price increases again after the Chinese New Year, the furniture workshops will have something to say again.
