Chapter 225 Hairdressing, Clothing Workshops, and Employment Opportunities...
Shu Xin was sitting at the dining table, enjoying her lunch.
Fresh mint leaves paired with freshly picked water spinach, and mixed with the cooks' special salty mayonnaise, this mint salad is refreshing enough without any other seasonings, making Shuxin's appetite soar.
Paired with cold slices of mutton and cold diced meat, a bowl of chilled acorn noodles sprinkled with mint and topped with several salted egg yolks, and finally a cup of mint tea, Shu Xin felt the stuffy and humid heat around her disappear, and felt refreshed from head to toe.
Sure enough, cold dishes are just what you need on a hot day!
However, the reason why Shuxin is so comfortable and cool is not only due to the refreshing and appetizing cold dishes carefully prepared by the cooks, but also largely due to the simple renovations that Flower Castle has undergone.
With the combined efforts of the service officer and the construction officer, as well as the full cooperation of the Flower Fairy and the Tree of Life, the ventilation conditions of the entire Flower Castle have been greatly improved. Now, Shu Xin can feel a gentle breeze blowing in her face even when she is sitting in the restaurant.
After taking a nap, Shuxin started working with renewed energy.
After establishing a well-defined leadership team in the Land of Sin, Shu Xin's workload was significantly reduced. She also gave the administrators the authority to form their own teams. Currently, there are over a thousand deacons at all levels in the Land of Sin, including nearly a hundred senior deacons, which greatly reduces Shu Xin's workload.
Now, Shu Xin needs to handle decision-making tasks, such as the issue of making loungewear, which the administrative staff recently discussed and decided to report.
All newborns are taken by their parents to the Tree of Life to make a wish. Flower fairies, except for slaves, can receive the blessing of the Tree of Life, which means that a leaf of the Tree of Life will turn into a set of clothes and fall down. Commoners' clothes will be simpler, while nobles' clothes will be more gorgeous. But no matter whether they are nobles or commoners, they will only wear this one set of clothes for their entire lives.
The situation in the Land of Sin is now somewhat different—
The first job that all the flower fairy slaves who came to the Land of Sin received was either to enter the cloth workshop or to go to the cloak workshop, where they would continuously make grass cloaks to cover themselves and their companions.
If the slaves work diligently in the Land of Sin for three months and are willing to continue working there for another three years, they will receive the blessing of the Flower Fairy, regain their freedom, and regain their commoner status. After becoming commoners, they will naturally receive the blessing of the Tree of Life and will be able to have a complete and presentable set of clothes.
The common people of the Land of Sin initially only focused on decorating their own houses. However, when Shu Xin braided her long hair into a large braid because of the hot weather, the flower fairies seemed to discover for the first time that they also had hair on their heads, and they all began to imitate her. Shu Xin had just braided her hair the day before, and the next day, not a single flower fairy in sight was not braiding her hair!
Many flower fairies are so skillful that they can weave various grasses into blankets. Not to mention, some flower fairies have even adopted the skills of decorating houses onto their own heads, leaving Shu Xin in awe of the exquisite hairstyles of the flower fairies.
When Shu Xin entered the normal rainy season in the Land of Sin and began to frequently change into various summer clothes, the flower fairies seemed to have discovered a new continent and also began to try changing their outfits.
However, as a flower fairy, Shu Xin doesn't need the power of the Tree of Life to change her clothes with a single click. The flower fairies, on the other hand, have to go to the Tree of Life to make a wish in order to change their clothes. In addition, all the clothes provided by the Tree of Life are standard uniforms that are easy to move around in and work in. The styles that can be changed are all the same. So the flower fairies started to try making their own clothes.
Then quite a few young and reckless flower fairies got injured in the process:
Some people overused their magic and fainted from exhaustion, others were frostbitten by snow sheep while collecting wool, and still others almost lost their lives after accidentally falling into the waters of the Salt Lake District in the dungeon.
The officials noticed this situation, discussed it internally, and proposed to the Flower Fairy the idea of building a new type of clothing workshop.
Upon seeing this suggestion, Shu Xin was quite pleased after learning the details from the Tree of Life. As the old saying goes, "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame." Only when people are well-fed and clothed will they have the mind to study whether the food is good or not, or whether their clothes are beautiful or not.
The flower fairies used to have time to do their hair into beautiful new styles, and now they even have the energy to make themselves nice new clothes. This shows that life in the Land of Sin has really improved.
A clothing workshop is definitely going to be built. This will not only meet the growing material and cultural needs of the flower fairies, but also create a large number of new jobs for the land of sin. As for what type of workshop to build, we need to carefully consider that.
The officials' proposed solution was to build the same magic workshop as before, with the Tree of Life providing custom-made blueprints and magic array diagrams. This new type of clothing workshop could obviously be built quickly. However, Shu Xin did not give an answer immediately because she was considering whether to build a truly new type of workshop in the Land of Sin—one that did not use magic but relied solely on manpower.
Shu Xin's starting point was simple: a purely handmade workshop could obviously provide more job opportunities.
However, after careful consideration, Shu Xin felt that it was unnecessary to completely abandon magic in building the workshop. This was unrealistic, as this was a magical world, and the flower fairies were a magical race with powerful magical talents. There was no need to deliberately ignore the flower fairies' racial advantages in order to increase the employment rate.
Shu Xin's initial proposal was that the Land of Sin could try to establish an industrial chain. Instead of building a single independent workshop with multiple layers of magic arrays, the entire magic array would be broken down and subdivided to create multiple workshops responsible for different processing stages, ultimately forming a clothing workshop cluster.
This will not only further increase job opportunities, but also provide the flower fairies with more clothing options.
Previously, bakeries could only use acorn flour as a raw material, and naturally could only produce acorn bread. However, if we follow this idea and disassemble the magic array set built into the bakery, and transform one bakery into multiple bakeries, we can completely replace acorn flour with chestnut flour, wheat flour, mushroom flour, or even moss flour in the pre-filling stage, thereby making bread with a variety of flavors.
Of course, different flours will require different baking temperatures, humidity and other conditions. At this time, we can either arrange more manpower to make manual adjustments or set up more workshops to carry out more detailed processing. But no matter which method we use, we can expand the employment opportunities in the land of sin once again!
