Chapter 127 Xiao Ying moved to a new home and lived in a big house
Thirty people may not sound like a lot, but it is actually quite a lot. After all, there are already twenty or thirty people working in the workshop.
If we exclude those under 15 and over 40, there are only a few who meet the requirements.
Xiao Ying naturally knew this too.
Both times she recruited people, she recruited people from the village. One reason was to lead the whole village to common prosperity, so that everyone would be in the same boat and have common interests.
Secondly, the villagers know each other well, so even if something happens, it will be easier to deal with.
After these two employments, almost every family had at least one person come to work for her, so there would be no gossip.
Next time if she continues to expand production, she can hire some outsiders appropriately.
I still asked my mother-in-law, Chen Zhang, to help with the selection to ensure that every family had a spot.
But the rules have been established first. If they are violated, the workers will be deducted from their wages at the very least, and fired at the worst. No one can make a fuss or act recklessly at that time.
This has been confirmed by all the villagers and they supervise each other.
After lunch, the thirty people were selected and then signed a contract one by one, which included a confidentiality agreement.
Anyone who leaks the secret recipe must compensate Xiao Ying for the losses. The amount of compensation depends on the severity of the situation, and it cannot be disclosed to anyone, including family members.
With this agreement, I believe the chance of leakage will be greatly reduced.
In the afternoon, Liu Lan and others took these people to familiarize themselves with the work environment and work content.
These people have been working here all year round and each is only responsible for a specific part, so they can get started quickly.
At the same time, Chen Jie, Chen Tong and several others who were buying red strips also took action and went to towns farther away to buy them.
A purchasing point will still be set up in the town first, and the purchase price is also seven cents per pound.
The people in these towns were extremely happy. They had heard that other towns were buying red strips and thought it was a scam. They didn't expect that someone from their town would come to buy it now.
Every household rushed into the mountains to pick the fruits and went to the town to sell them early the next morning.
It was not until I held the money in my hands that I completely believed that this thing could really be sold, and I became more motivated.
Xiao Ying actually has quite a lot of chili peppers in stock, but they can only be stored until September at the latest, and they will be gone after that.
Even though she and the villagers had reclaimed some land and planted some crops before, no one could say what the harvest would be like.
Furthermore, the production of spicy sesame oil will likely increase every month in the future, so you must stock up on more chili peppers now.
The next day, the 30 newly recruited people officially started work.
These people are distributed in different positions, including one patrol and one warehouse.
With an extra girl cleaning the house, Chen Daya doesn't have to work so hard.
There are no new people in the kitchen, and lunch will not be provided. Everyone can go home and eat after work, but mung bean soup will be provided in the morning and afternoon.
No one had any objection to this, after all, the wages were already very high.
The new chili workshop has officially started construction, and it is bustling with activity and vitality everywhere.
Xiao Ying also hired someone to clean her new house, and they could move in after the cleaning was completed.
Xiao Ying bought a batch of new daily necessities in advance. The new home has a new look, and she doesn't plan to bring anything from the old house into it, except for herself.
June 22: It is a good time to move.
So early that morning, Xiao Ying and her three children took action.
Chen Xinghe originally wanted to stay at home to help with the move, but Xiao Ying didn't want him to study half-heartedly, so she urged him to go to the academy.
Chen Xingyun didn't have so many concerns. After the business stabilized, there would be no problem if he hired the aunt to look after it alone.
Needless to say, Chen Xinghai and Chen Xingyue, for such an important matter, everything else can be put aside first.
In addition to the four of them, many people in the village also came to help.
It's been a slack season recently and the land reclamation has been completed, so everyone who has time has come here, mainly out of curiosity to take a look.
Regardless of how close they were, Zhou Lihua and her children looked around curiously, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Xiao Ying’s new house is not small, covering an area of about one and a half acres, or more than a thousand square meters.
The main gate is two tall and spacious vermilion wooden doors. When you push open the doors, you will see a wide courtyard paved with bluestone slabs.
Next to the main door is the back building, with three rooms on each side. It is usually used for servants to live in, but can also be used as a storage room or guest room.
In addition, there are two side rooms on each side, and one side is a toilet, one for men and one for women, and each has three squatting toilets.
We built a septic tank to avoid odor as much as possible and it can also be used as fertilizer.
On the other side are the kitchen and woodshed, both of which are very spacious.
A well was dug near the kitchen. The water in the well is clear and abundant, so we don’t have to go to the village to fetch water anymore.
On both sides of the courtyard are the east wing and the west wing. The eldest son usually lives in the east wing, so brothers Chen Xinghai and Chen Xinghe lived there, leaving a vacant room as a study.
The west wing was given to sisters Chen Xingyun and Chen Xingyue respectively, and the empty room was also used as a study.
These side rooms are also very spacious, and are even divided into two parts, front and back. If there are servants and maids in the future, they can live in the outer room.
There is a kang in the wing room, so you don’t have to worry about the cold in winter. The bedding is all new, soft and beautiful.
There was also a dressing table in the two girls' room, on which was inlaid a 40-centimeter-high bronze mirror.
Although there was no dressing table in the two brothers' room, there was a rack for tidying up their clothes and a bronze mirror.
In addition to these, each of the four rooms also has a large wardrobe, with seven or eight new sets of clothes hanging in the wardrobe, covering both the inside and outside of the room for all seasons.
Then there was a set of tables and chairs, and on the table was a blue and white porcelain tea set, which was small and exquisite.
The windows are all inlaid with glazed tiles, and soft white gauze curtains and thick cloth curtains are hung inside.
With such decoration and furnishings, it is no worse than those of the rich ladies in the city.
A pavilion was built in the courtyard near the east wing, with a stone table and stone benches in the pavilion for people to rest.
Corridors were also built on both sides to connect the main house and the east wing.
They also planted several green pines and snow plums. These two plants were selected by the brothers themselves and are lush and tall.
A wisteria corridor was built in the courtyard near the west wing, and the top was covered with beautiful wisteria flowers.
The vines hang down, swaying gently in the wind, unique and beautiful.
Sitting on the corridor and enjoying the scenery in your spare time is a unique experience.
There is a long corridor connecting the two places, so you don’t have to worry about getting wet when it rains.
Then there is the main house, which has three rooms in total. The middle one is the living room for entertaining guests, and a round table is also set up as a dining room.
Xiao Ying was on the left. Her room was more spacious than the east and west wing rooms. In addition to what was in the wing rooms, there were two large storage cabinets, and even secret spaces in the walls and underground.
The right side is reserved as a guest room, which is usually used to store items when not in use.
There are also two side rooms on each side of the main house, one side is used as a guest room and the other side is used as a bathroom, separated for men and women.
There is a kitchen in one of the bathrooms where you can boil water, so you don't have to go to the kitchen to boil water.
It is worth mentioning that the drainage system is also very well designed. Whether in the bathroom, kitchen or yard, sewage can be quickly discharged through the sewer, and there is no need to worry about heavy rain.
Finally, a backyard was built specifically for raising chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, cows, horses and other animals, and people will be hired to raise and clean the yard.
After the visit, the villagers were all shocked. Such a house was too good, and they wondered how much it would cost.
