Chapter 270: Building a Staff Dormitory
Yang Yanran told Su Daya about some of her feelings and emotions, hoping to comfort and help her.
Su Daya smiled and nodded, "Yes, thank you, auntie."
Yang Yanran stroked her hair and said, "You can call me aunt, so don't be polite. I believe you can achieve something of your own."
In fact, Yang Yanran felt that girls with stubborn personalities were more energetic.
If he applies this energy to his career, and with the guidance of Shen Yueyao, he will definitely achieve something.
Yang Yanran firmly believes in this.
Yang Yanran and her family spent a pleasant afternoon here.
On their way back, the caravan carriage they brought was loaded with thousands of lipsticks.
It is conceivable that with more than a thousand lipsticks, one can earn at least several thousand taels of silver.
Yang Yanran said: "Sister Shen, I support you in expanding the scale of your lipstick workshop. You don't know how many people want to buy lipstick from me. There really aren't enough to sell."
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will plan to build another workshop and expand the scale later."
After hearing what Shen Yueyao said, Yang Yanran felt relieved.
As the family got on the carriage and headed back, Wen Moshu said, "If the Su family returns to the capital, it will definitely cause a sensation."
Yang Yanran asked, "Do you think so?"
Wen Moshu nodded and said, "After Young Master Su of the Su family passes the imperial examination, he will definitely bring the Su family to the capital. With Sister Shen in charge of the Su family, no one dares to look down on the Su family."
"Just wait and see. They will definitely bring about some earth-shaking changes."
Yang Yanran smiled and said, "I'm optimistic about them too."
"Look at Aunt Meng's health. She looks like she's lived a long life. Da Ya and Er Ya, influenced by Sister Shen, have good temperaments and abilities. And Da Bao and Er Bao, these two children are also sensible and intelligent. This family looks very good..."
Wen Moshu believed in his own judgment. He sighed inwardly for a moment and said seriously, "It is our good fortune that our family can know such a family."
Yang Yanran smiled and said, "You don't mind the impulsive things I did when I was young."
Wen Moshu said: "Yanran, I am very grateful to have met you."
"It's also because of you that my health has improved, and the Wen family is getting better too."
Yang Yanran's expression changed as she said, "Actually, to put it this way, it was because of the things I did when I was young that I got to know the Su family, which is why we later became so close to Sister Shen."
Yang Yanran smiled and said, "Now that I think about my youth, I won't dwell on it anymore."
“I am most grateful to Sister Shen. She cured you.”
"In fact, if it weren't for my relationship with the Su family when I was young, I might not have known Sister Shen when I was traveling with the caravan."
Yang Yanran and Wen Moshu were both very touched when they said this.
Wen Shuran said, "Mom and Dad, I think Dabao and Erbao are so smart. They know more than me."
"Look, this is the book for my younger brothers Dabao and Erbao. They gave me one."
At the Su family's house, Wen Shuran played with building blocks with Dabao and Erbao for a while, and also listened to Dabao and Erbao tell stories. He was very curious.
"Mom and Dad, Dabao and Erbao's younger brothers also like to listen to stories. Can we go there often in the future?"
Neither Yang Yanran nor Wen Moshu had expected that their ten-year-old son could play with the other three-year-olds Dabao and Erbao.
You have to know that this child has been sensible since he was young, but he is much more mature than his peers, and sometimes he may not be able to play together with his peers.
Wen Moshu was stunned for a moment, then took Wen Shuran's storybook and read it, which told stories such as Sima Guang smashing the jar, borrowing arrows from a straw boat, and Tian Ji's horse racing.
There are pictures above, and there are dialogues next to the people in the pictures. Even if there is no written content below to explain, it is easy to understand.
Moreover, these stories are shocking and intellectually stimulating even for adults.
Reading it can increase one's wisdom.
"These... these were given to you by your elder and second brothers?"
Wen Moshu was really unbelievable.
After seeing these, he was very excited.
Wen Shuran nodded and said, "Yes, Dabao and Erbao have a lot of books. They said that every once in a while, Auntie would draw a new one for them to read. They have read it several times and can recite it by heart. Seeing that I like it, they gave it to me as a gift."
Wen Shuran cherished this picture book very much and turned the pages carefully when reading it.
"Who are Zhuge Liang and Sima Guang above?"
Yang Yanran was also curious. She could naturally see the wisdom hidden in this book. Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat was a military tactic.
Wen Shuran said: "Brothers Dabao and Erbao said that this is the person shaped by their mother."
There was no such character in this era, it was a completely imaginary dynasty, so Shen Yueyao didn't know how to explain it to Dabao and Erbao, so she said it was a made-up character.
Wen Moshu was shocked and said, "Sister Shen is a very wise person!"
Apart from this sentence, Wen Moshu didn't know how to describe it.
"If she were a man, she would have accomplished great things and would have gone down in history."
Yang Yanran said: “Women cannot be officials, but if Mr. Su becomes an official, Sister Shen will also be a good wife.”
Wen Moshu looked at Yang Yanran and said, "It seems that we have to be thick-skinned and go there more often in the future so that Shu Ran can learn a lot from us."
Yang Yanran said, "Then we must think carefully about how to be good to Sister Shen's family."
"It would be great if Sister Shen could publish a book. Such a book would cause a sensation if it were published..."
You know, a book on military strategy, even if it only contains a few military stories, is enough to become a family heirloom, let alone a book like this.
The key is that even children can understand it.
…
Shen Yueyao had no idea of the shock she had caused.
The whole family was so full just eating bread in the afternoon that they didn’t need to eat dinner.
Shen Yueyao had nothing to do, so she sat on the stone bench in the yard and continued to draw a picture of the commercial street on paper on the stone table.
She drew everything, including how to build the interior structure of the store and the architectural drawings of the employee dormitories.
It was evening now, and the sun was still shining brightly.
Dabao and Erbao were reading books nearby, while Su Daya and Su Erya were calculating accounts.
After reading for a while, Su Daya looked at Shen Yueyao drawing something on the blueprint and asked curiously: "Aunt San, are you in the painting workshop?"
Su Daya knew that her third aunt was planning to expand the lipstick workshop.
Shen Yueyao said: "I am drawing the architecture of the dormitory building, a three-story building, and building a few more dormitory buildings."
Su Daya was stunned. She thought her Third Aunt had mentioned this before. "Third Aunt, is the dormitory building where the workshop employees live?"
Chen Yueyao patiently explained, "Yes, that's right. If we want to expand, we also have to consider hiring people. Basically, everyone from the nearby villages comes to work in our workshop. If we expand further, most of the people we hire will be from villages further away. They will spend a lot of time traveling back and forth to work..."
"But if we provide dormitories, it will be much more convenient for everyone to go to and from work."
"Not only do we need to consider the dormitories, but we also need to get a few more ox carts to serve as shuttle buses for our workshop."
"Every morning, buses pass through each village, picking up people to go to work and then taking them back home after work."
Su Erya thought for a moment and said, "So, Third Aunt, building another workshop and expanding its scale is actually not that easy."
"Yes, all aspects must be taken into consideration."
Shen Yueyao said: “We may open more workshops in the future, so take advantage of this opportunity to build a few more large workshops and a few more dormitory buildings. Each dormitory can accommodate four people.”
"There are men's and women's dormitories. If a family comes to work, they can apply for a suite..."
Shen Yueyao needs to think about all of these. Only when everyone comes to work without any worries can they work better.
Su Daya said, "If everyone knew that we were going to expand and hire more people, they would be very happy. Many people have told us that their relatives are asking about it. They are asked to keep an eye out for when our workshop is hiring again and to let them know as soon as possible..."
Shen Yueyao said: "If we expand the scale further, I will see if we can arrange shifts, that is, everyone's rest time is different, see if we can arrange two days on and one day off, so that everyone can be busy with family matters in time."
Shen Yueyao felt that just because everyone was working in the workshop, they couldn't ignore the work on the farm.
In this era, the reason why agriculture is valued is because food is the foundation of people's livelihood.
Only when we grow more food will everyone not go hungry.
If everyone goes into business instead of growing crops, food prices will rise and many people will go hungry.
Shen Yueyao felt that she also had to take these aspects into consideration.
Su Daya and Su Erya didn't understand, but as soon as Aunt San explained it to them, they would think about it more.
Two days later, after Shen Yueyao finished drawing the drawings, she went to the village head's house and gave the drawings to Lin Hong.
Because now Lin Hong is in charge of the construction work of the craftsman team.
When Lin Hong saw the blueprint, his expression changed and he said, “Miss Shen, are you going to continue building the workshop? Is there also a building next to it?”
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "This is the blueprint I drew these past few days. It's quite detailed. These are the four large workshops, this is the dormitory building, and this is the commercial street. Your team of craftsmen will be responsible for building it. The faster the better. You can hire more people to work. Don't worry, the daily wages will be paid on time..."
Anyway, Shen Yueyao has bought that large piece of land, so she can build any buildings she wants. The area is large enough and it is enough for the use.
Lin Hong was also shocked when he heard about the dormitory building.
Not to mention hearing the commercial street.
“Miss Shen, is this commercial street similar to the restaurant street in town?”
The town also has the busiest streets.
The most famous restaurant in town is on that street, with many guests coming and going, and many people drinking tea and eating.
But Lin Hong was a little shocked and confused about building a commercial street in the village.
“Miss Shen, the commercial street in this village may not be visited by those people in the town.”
Lin Hong actually said this for Shen Yueyao's own good.
He was worried that Shen Yueyao would spend the money to build a commercial street which would be useless.
Building two large rows of buildings like this requires a lot of money.
Shen Yueyao said: "Brother Lin, you also know a saying, that is, good wine needs no bush."
"As long as the things we have here are good enough, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to shop."
"Besides, when the time comes, we can expand some workshops. There will be more traffic here, so we can open a small shop on the commercial street and do good business."
"Our commercial street is like a snack street. We introduce some cheap and affordable items and try not to sell expensive things. Naturally, more people will come to shop. You don't have to worry about that."
Shen Yueyao is still confident about this.
If there are things that can only be bought in their commercial street and cannot be bought anywhere else, people will come specifically to buy and eat them even if they are far away.
With so many shops, Shen Yueyao plans to set aside a row of shops on the street to sell food, and turn it into a food street.
She wants to build a food city, and then people from all over the world may come here to taste their delicious food.
For example, some things cannot be stored, but they are sold in her commercial street, such as specialized popsicle and milk tea shops, specialized bakeries, specialized malatang and hot pot restaurants, etc.
There are also special convenience supermarkets.
These things can be arranged.
Perhaps by then, Liuhe Village can become a tourist village.
Perhaps in the future many people in the town will be willing to settle down in Liuhe Village.
Life is convenient anyway.
Of course, it will take time to open all these stores.
It takes people to do these things.
But you can build it in advance, and then use it directly when you need it.
Anyway, the land here is cheap. It doesn’t cost much to buy hundreds of acres of land, and it doesn’t cost much to build on it either.
Seeing Shen Yueyao's confident look, Lin Hong didn't say much.
He knew Shen Yueyao's abilities, and he thought that maybe that place could really become a prosperous place.
At this moment, he couldn't help but imagine that there was a bustling commercial street next to the village, selling all kinds of things.
There are many large workshops in their village, and it is very bustling with people coming and going.
Imagining that scene, Lin Hong was also very excited.
When Li knew that Shen Yueyao was going to expand the workshop, she excitedly asked, "Yao Niang, are you really going to expand the scale of the workshop? Are you going to continue hiring people?"
When Li asked this question, her eyes were bright and shining.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Li, it will still be a lipstick workshop, but the scale will be expanded. If we hire people, we can also hire people from distant villages. We will arrange ox carts to pick everyone up and down, and there will also be dormitories. Those who can't go back home can stay in the dormitory."
"I gave the blueprints for the dormitory building to Brother Lin. Just build it according to them. There will be dormitories for female employees and male employees, with four people in each dormitory. If a family works in the workshop, they can apply for a suite and live in one dormitory..."
Shen Yueyao told Li about these plans.
When Li heard this, she became very excited.
She rubbed her hands on her clothes, as if she wanted to say something.
But I was too embarrassed to speak.
Shen Yueyao understood immediately and said, "Aunt Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. We are not outsiders."
Although Li was the manager in the workshop on weekdays, he helped out too much.
Whatever work is done in the workshop, she will actively help.
In the early days, he often helped the Su family and had the best relationship with Old Madam Meng.
Therefore, if Li needs her help, Shen Yueyao will help to the best of her ability.
