Chapter 299 Efficiency
Shen Yueyao has lived in the technological age and knows best that cosmetics can really have the effect of turning decay into magic.
Well-applied makeup can really make a person look young and beautiful.
Even if you have dark skin, don’t be afraid, using cosmetics can make your skin look very white and tender.
Shen Yueyao was also very excited at the thought of launching various cosmetics.
But take it slow. We have just opened three large workshops and cannot produce too many products at once.
She was worried that the business management would not keep up and problems would arise within the workshop.
So we have to take it step by step.
Just by laying the foundation with these workshops, the money earned in a few months will be enough to go to the capital to buy a nice house and decorate it with better furniture.
What’s more, there may be more than that.
In August, Su Xueyi took the provincial examination and will not take the metropolitan examination until the beginning of next spring.
Only then will you need to go to the capital to take the exam.
So there is still plenty of time to prepare.
She can do a lot of things in this time.
While Shen Yueyao was talking to Su Daya and Su Erya, she also took out the facial cream and said, "This is the first batch of facial cream made in our workshop. We will use these four boxes for our own use, one box per person."
"Although your skin looks good, Da Ya and Er Ya, if you take care of it early, your skin will be more hydrated."
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao said to Madam Meng: “Mother, you should use it more often. This can moisturize your skin. It won’t be so dry after being exposed to the wind and sun in the village.”
Madam Meng was touched and heartbroken. "Yao Niang, I really don't know what to say. You always think about your family. You should be nicer to yourself."
Mrs. Meng wanted to say thank you, but she felt that it would be too awkward.
A warm current flowed through her heart, making her whole body warm.
Now whoever sees her doesn’t envy her.
Of course, I don’t envy her for anything else, I just envy her for having such a good daughter-in-law like Yao Niang.
More caring than a daughter.
The key is that her mother Yao Niang has the ability to bring prosperity to the family.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “Mom, you don’t have to worry about this.”
Su Erya had already opened the box of facial cream and rubbed the cream on the back of her hand.
She felt it was very moist, and when she put it to her nose and smelled it, it had a faint fragrance.
"It smells nice and fragrant, Aunt San. This is different from the one you gave us before."
"The scent is different, and it feels a little more moist."
Shen Yueyao explained softly: "This uses different materials, and the fragrance is also different."
"When we made it for our own use, we didn't really care about it that much. But if we really want to do business, the smell has to be better and the texture has to be more moisturizing. That way people will feel good about it, and it will spread the word and they will buy it again."
“You can even recommend our facial cream to people around you.”
"Our facial creams and lipsticks have brand logos. Over time, people will know that our products are good."
Su Daya said, "Aunt San, the facial cream you used on me before, when I applied it on my hands, the cracks on my fingers healed."
Not only did it get better, it got better very quickly.
Su Daya found it very magical.
Madam Meng also praised it highly, saying, "This is great. When the Su family was still a marquisate, the rouge and powder I used were all excellent products. But in terms of the effect, they were not as good as what you make."
“Some of them smell nice, but when you put them on your skin or hands, they’re not that moisturizing.”
"After using this, your skin will be very smooth and moisturized the next day."
"The effect can be seen most clearly on the fingers."
"As long as people are willing to use it over time, they will realize that our product is good."
Old Madam Meng, Su Daya and Su Erya all have confidence in what Shen Yueyao does.
After discussing the cream for a while, Madam Meng seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Yao Niang, you hired 150 to 160 people to work in your embroidery workshop. Are you only letting them make quilts and mattresses?"
"And it feels like everyone's needlework is different. Some have dense stitches, some have thick stitches, and it feels like some are very slow."
Although Madam Meng knew that Shen Yueyao had a method for everything she did, she was still a little worried when she saw the uneven work done by everyone in the embroidery workshop.
Besides, so many people are making quilts and other things. Can they sell so many quilts?
Shen Yueyao looked at the confused and worried looks in everyone's eyes and almost forgot to tell everyone about the plan for the embroidery workshop.
Shen Yueyao said, “Mom, you don’t have to worry about this.”
"The reason we're asking everyone to make bedding now is because we need it for the dormitories we're building. Once we have all these things ready, those employees who come to work in our workshop and live far away can stay directly in our dormitories."
"If we ask everyone to bring their own bedding, it will be difficult for some people. I know that many families only have one or two beddings, which is not enough. Asking them to bring their own will increase their burden."
"Let's prepare these things so they can move in directly. It's so convenient."
"Providing them with good accommodation will allow them to rest well and work in the workshop with peace of mind."
“Prepare more at the beginning, so you don’t have to prepare more when you hire someone later.”
"Let's practice making quilts first. I can also check out your embroidery skills. Later on, when we make things in the embroidery workshop, we'll still have to use an assembly line, which is faster..."
"Just like our lipstick workshop, each group of people has different workmanship. Repeating the same task will increase efficiency."
"Let's say everyone is making clothes. If someone is good at tailoring, they can ask someone else to do the tailoring. If someone is good at sewing, they can ask someone else to specialize in sewing a certain part. If someone is not good at either tailoring or sewing, but knows a little sewing, they can do some of the trimming work..."
In fact, it is the same as the workmanship of a modern assembly line, and it is fast.
Moreover, when everyone repeats the same thing, they can also exercise their hand speed and improve efficiency.
Su Daya suddenly realized, "No wonder Third Aunt asked us and the embroidery workshop manager to record everyone's work content. So this is the purpose. Many people are worried that they will be fired because their needlework is not good enough."
Shen Yueyao said: "No, as long as everyone works hard, it's okay even if they don't know much about needlework. Some work can be assigned to them. Even if there are not enough people in the embroidery workshop, they can be assigned to the lipstick or chili meat sauce workshops. They will definitely have no problem doing physical work."
"I won't fire people for no reason."
Shen Yueyao knew how difficult life was for women in this era.
Women were unable to take the imperial examinations, unable to prove their worth, and it was even more difficult for them to go out and earn some money.
Most of the women in the nearby villages work on the farm and manage the household diligently. They also have to take care of their husbands, raise their children, and be filial to their parents-in-law, and they make great sacrifices.
But they earn money working in the workshop, which can improve their family's living conditions. They will be more confident and their status in the family will also be improved.
She is not a very kind person, but there is nothing wrong with helping others while helping her own business.
What's more, firing someone without making any mistakes is very cruel.
Didn’t you see the excitement on everyone’s faces when they found out they could work in the workshop?
Some of them couldn't control their tears.
As she listened and watched, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Su Daya nodded and said, "Third Aunt, you are so kind."
Su Daya worked alongside Shen Yueyao, and her thoughts and insights broadened, and her overall outlook also became more open.
Madam Meng sighed and said, "I can understand everyone's feelings."
"In the past, I did embroidery and sent the handkerchiefs and sachets I made to an embroidery shop in town to sell. Every time I went there, I could earn a few copper coins, which made me feel at ease, knowing that with these copper coins, my family would at least not starve to death."
"But later they stopped using our embroidery. At that time, we were shocked and didn't know what to do."
Shen Yueyao knew that Madam Meng and the others had suffered in the past.
She gently comforted Madam Meng, "Mom, that's all in the past. We're all better now."
"As long as everyone works diligently and conscientiously, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Besides, we have more than just these workshops. There will be more in the future."
"After we build the commercial street, even if some people don't come to work in the workshop, they can rent a store here to do business, or they can set up stalls nearby to do business."
"Building shops on the commercial street actually has low costs. We can rent them out for free at first, and then we can collect rent later on just a small amount..."
Shen Yueyao briefly talked about the plan here, and Madam Meng was very excited when she heard it.
Mrs. Meng believed that it would not be long before Liuhe Village would become prosperous and lively.
After Shen Yueyao explained, Madam Meng and the others understood.
After lunch, Mrs. Meng, Su Daya and Su Erya went to the workshop to work.
Dabao and Erbao went to the street to play with some friends of similar age.
Shen Yueyao made several sets of building blocks for them and also made baseballs for them to play with.
Shen Yueyao believes that children’s childhood should not only be spent on studying, but also on playing more.
Spending carefree time like this will make your childhood seem wonderful when you grow up.
Shen Yueyao sat under a tree in the yard, reading the report.
This is the operation status of the three workshops in the past few days, and the amount of goods produced every day is also written on it.
Just when Shen Yueyao was busy, Shen Shaojing and Ning Mianmian arrived in a carriage.
They also bought some things.
Shen Yueyao was very happy to see them coming.
"Fourth brother, Miss Ning, you can just come, why do you bring so many things?"
Shen Shaojing smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and he said cheerfully, "Sister, we have made a lot of money selling barbecue milk tea recently, so buying these things is nothing."
Ning Mianmian also nodded and said, "Yes, barbecue milk tea is very popular and business is booming."
Speaking of this, Ning Mianmian's eyes sparkled, and she was obviously very happy thinking about the booming business.
Shen Yueyao had never expected that Fourth Brother would be so decisive.
"Fourth brother, weren't you thinking of opening a clothing store before? Why are you only busy with the barbecue milk tea business now?"
