Chapter 391 Familiar Road



Hu Laoliu's escape did not cause much disturbance to Su Qingluan. In her opinion, this man was just trying to get something for nothing for a small profit.

She was in no mood to argue too much with this ruffian. She just wanted to teach him a lesson and send him off. She still had a lot of things waiting for her to do.

Because of the experience from last time, Su Qingluan took everyone out as usual and screened them one by one without any hesitation, just like last time.

Perhaps because they knew that Su Qingluan had some lowest red lines that must not be crossed, everyone learned from each other and summarized. This time, Su Qingluan found that the applicants were much more obedient than last time.

Specifically, there were fewer people who were late for the job applications. After realizing they were late, they asked Su Qingluan and realized they couldn't stay any longer. They didn't beg for mercy like before and just went back. They did whatever they were told to do, and few of them tried to be cunning...

Of course, there are some cheating, but everyone also understands that this time it is most likely a "group collaboration" and that groups with outstanding performance will receive additional rewards.

If someone is slacking off in his own group, it means that other people have to make up for this person's workload while also catching up with other groups, which is equivalent to double the workload.

With this awareness, there is no need for Su Qingluan's supervision. When the workers find someone slacking off, they will kick that person out themselves - after all, although there are no groups yet, what if they are the ones who get into trouble?

No one wants to bet on that possibility.

In order to prevent someone from being inefficient due to not adapting to their position, Su Qingluan also made everyone familiar with the general positions and asked everyone to give priority to the positions they are good at.

Of course, in order to prevent some opportunists from choosing those "easy" jobs, each of Su Qingluan's positions is designed in advance. In short, there is a considerable workload, not too big or too small difficulty, and the intensity is about the same.

In short, looking around, there is no room for maneuver for those who "just want to pick and choose easy jobs with less work."

It must be said that Su Qingluan's "preventative measures" were very effective. Although most of the villagers in Huaxi Village were honest and hardworking, there were always a few who wanted to cheat and act slyly. Su Qingluan made every position "equally busy", allowing them to stop calculating and get down to work honestly and steadily.

Aunt Zou and Zhao Di also came this time. Compared to the last time when they first saw Su Qingluan, they were a little timid and fearful, but this time they were much more generous and cheerful.

However, the two of them still looked as pale and thin as before - although Su Qingluan also knew that giving them eggs to nourish their bodies in private during the few days they worked together was only a temporary solution, she still frowned slightly when she saw that they looked like they would be blown away by the wind.

"The two of you should still be in charge of everyone's meals in the logistics department this time." Su Qingluan said, "Also, there are a lot of people this time, so I'll give you a few more people. Otherwise, you two will definitely not be able to handle it."

There are at least fifty or sixty people this time, and they definitely can't all stay in the "Su Ji" shop like they did last time when they worked overtime all night - because the twenty or so people last time were the limit, and there would be no room for more than fifty or sixty people.

Fortunately, the fundamental reason why we worked all night last time was that the time was short and the task was heavy. Moreover, many things were not expected and the reality was completely different. Many emergencies were not anticipated, so everyone had to rush to work to prevent other problems from arising.

However, there were obviously not so many problems this time: First of all, the Xie family did not give a clear time limit this time, only saying that this batch of 100 sets of fruit jams must be on the market before winter, and 50 sets of each of the "Four Seasons" and "Falling Flowers" varieties must be available.

In fact, the Xie family originally wanted to expand production, but was dissuaded by Su Qingluan.

Firstly, it was only a month or so away from the onset of winter, and the weather was beyond our control. As soon as it started snowing, the wild fruits, whether ripe or not, would be inedible. Otherwise, they would taste like they had been frost-bitten and would be astringent and difficult to eat, so the total yield would inevitably be affected.

Secondly, "Su Ji"'s jam has always been positioned "for high-end people", so it should not expand mass production, but instead take the route of rare and limited quantities, which will attract more people's pursuit.

Therefore, Su Qingluan planned to temporarily seal up the "Falling Flowers" and "Four Seasons" models after selling out the fifty sets each this time, and then take them out as "limited editions" occasionally on anniversaries in the future.

Of course, Su Qingluan did not tell the Xie family about this kind of gameplay. After all, the contract between the two parties was only for two years, and it was not certain what the situation would be after two years.

Although the production project this time has expanded tenfold compared to the previous one, there is relatively more time. More importantly, with more manpower, Su Qingluan can do two things at the same time - one part is responsible for picking the fruits, another part is responsible for sorting, drying, and boiling, and another part is responsible for grinding the various auxiliary ingredients that need to be added. At the same time, someone is also responsible for the preparation of the food.

This "multi-pronged approach" can actually greatly improve efficiency and save overall working time.

The reason why she took such great pains to arrange the connection process was that this small shop could not accommodate so many people working overtime all night, and Su Qingluan could not let them sleep on the street - not to mention that if they encountered the night patrol, they would be arrested and put in jail, and now it was almost freezing at night, and she did not want anyone to die under her hands.

After all, Su Qingluan's original intention was to help everyone get through this winter smoothly, rather than just sleeping to death in this winter!

After a whole day of "rotation", Su Qingluan first let those who were interested in choosing their favorite positions stay, and then assigned a batch of work to those who had no direction after her own screening. After that, she let those who were interested in choosing their own positions to make their choice, and then she would temporarily place the remaining people in the positions that were short of staff. If they were really not suitable, they would be transferred or directly dismissed.

Su Qingluan looked at the people in front of her, intending to speak bluntly upfront: "I think those who are visiting our 'Su Ji' for the first time have already heard the 'teachings' of the elders, but there must be some who are not clear, or who have misunderstood. So, I will explain the rules here to everyone again."

Her voice wasn't loud, but after the incident with Hu Laoliu, Su Qingluan was no longer just a simple little girl in the eyes of many people. She had the added authority of being a "shopkeeper." So even though Su Qingluan was just speaking at a normal volume, everyone was no longer as distracted as they had been at the beginning, and immediately turned to look at her.

And the rustling sounds gradually quieted down.
