That's fine. Just now, all the people selling their bodies were huddled in the corner. Shen Jia couldn't see clearly. When he arrived at the shop, he found that one person had an abnormal expression.
If she is sick, then she has made a loss. What difference does this make to her heart being gouged out?
Looking at Yang Shu, who was desperately trying to block his youngest son, Shen Jia once again instructed, "You can touch the furniture in the room now, but you can't touch the soybeans soaking in the yard. These are the most precious things in our shop. We can talk about it after we understand it."
Now you can go and rest, we are also going home. The Chen Mansion is in the center of Qingyang Street. If you have any important matters, you can go there to find us. "
"Okay, okay, boss, don't worry, everyone in our family is honest and upright."
As if worried that Shen Jia would go back on his word, Yang Shu kept bowing, and his humble look made people feel a little pitiful.
Shen Jia warned himself not to be so kind in this era, turned around and left. When he returned home, Shen Jia told his family about his purchase of land and people.
In fact, no one expected that Shen Jia could expand so rapidly in just over a month. It wasn't long before a tofu workshop covering an area of more than 600 square meters was about to be built.
Because Shen Jia still had to take care of his own workshop, the shop was temporarily managed by Fuqiu and Shen Hao, who worked together seamlessly.
This time, she chose the same team that had previously renovated her own house. However, due to the tight timeline and the large workload, she required this improvised team to complete the work within at least a month.
Therefore, she could recruit as many people as possible. She would not consider the money she spent for the time being. Her main goal was to expand the tofu shop chain in one fell swoop in the spring of next year when food was scarce in the north.
Just thinking about it, she felt that she didn't have enough time, and now she could only shorten the time for setting up the workshop.
When they arrived at the newly purchased land, Captain Wang, the team leader, had already started to correct the ground with his men. Shen Jia's requirement was that the ground should be paved with flat stones in the future, and preliminary preparations were now underway.
Her appearance quickly caught Wang Yang's attention. This was his big boss, his financial sponsor. He quickly put down his work and ran over, asking:
"Boss Shen, do you have any other requests? We're still renovating the ground, and it's very dusty. It's not suitable for you to stay here. Don't worry, we've kept your request in mind and will definitely not make any mistakes."
Before approaching Shen Jia, he brushed off the dust on his body and was ready to listen attentively to Shen Jia's advice.
The main reason was that the toilet they had built at the Shen family's house was Boss Shen's idea, and he hadn't restricted them from doing the same at other houses. As a result, their recent work had been much better than in previous years, and everyone was filled with gratitude towards Boss Shen.
Thanks to this, they directly established a regular team to help people repair houses and provide other supporting services. Although it is winter now, they can make money and everyone is very excited.
Life is much better than in previous years. His wife and parents at home no longer look down on him and no longer say that these are just trivial matters. Now they are a famous team in the town.
Shen Jia looked at him and slowly opened what she was holding in her hand. Inside was the architectural blueprint of the tofu workshop that she had obtained from the mapping artifact. According to the construction plan above, her soy products would be ready soon.
"See? This is the architectural blueprint I drew for the tofu workshop. I want you to copy and build it according to the above instructions. You should be able to read the blueprint, right? If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Wang Yang stared at the unique construction blueprints before him, his inner shock unknown to anyone. Now he felt that Boss Shen was a truly extraordinary talent. Not only was he a good businessman, but he could even draw these kinds of artisan blueprints. He was truly a genius!
Seeing Wang Yang didn't answer for a long time, Shen Jia asked again: "What's wrong with you? Don't you understand?"
"No, no, no, I'm just astonished by Boss Shen's drawings. I can still understand the architectural structure. Your design is so ingenious, I can't believe our tofu workshop can be completed in just a month."
Wang Yang waved his hands repeatedly to explain why he was stunned.
Shen Jia thought that this mapping artifact was indeed somewhat useful. "In that case, you should first carefully build it according to the instructions above. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. Of course, I will also come here from time to time to check on the progress."
After saying this, she looked at everyone working enthusiastically and decided not to stay and delay their work. She noticed that some people had obviously slowed down since she stood there.
Wang Yang, who had returned to the team, excitedly pulled out the blueprint he had just put in his arms in response to his teammates' questions. He exclaimed, "It looks like we'll be seeing a new type of building again this time. You have no idea how amazing Boss Shen is. I'll have to take you guys to study it carefully when I get back. Who knows, we might be able to use it in the future."
Wang Yang knew very well that as long as he could research a little bit about the above things, it would benefit him greatly in the future.
Every time I work at the Shen family, I learn something useful. Wang Yang doesn't ask Shen Jia for much in wages, and Shen Jia won't stop him. Anyway, their craftsmen will definitely see the content, and you can't control it. So just consider it their tuition.
All Shen Jia gave them were the blueprints of the outer structure, because it was a tofu workshop, plus the attentive service of the mapping artifact won in a lottery.
In fact, it also directly drew a complete set of tofu processing machine drawings, and Shen Jia still needed to find a carpenter who was good at large equipment to help.
Finally, half a month after the tofu workshop started construction, Shen Jia finally found a carpenter who met his requirements in the neighboring county.
Unfortunately, this entire machine can only be made by skilled workers, and others are not allowed to use it. The time it takes is the most labor-intensive, but for the sake of the time-saving and labor-saving machine in the future, she endured it.
She had been so busy lately that she felt quite haggard. With the help of five laborers in the tofu shop, Fuqiu and Shen Hao could relax a lot. As for Shen Yue, her temperament still needed to be cultivated by the fire for a while.
That day, Shen Jia unexpectedly showed up in the shop. As soon as he arrived, Fuqiu and Shen Hao quickly surrounded him. Especially since Fuqiu hadn't had Shen Jia watching over her for such a long time, no one knew about her inner panic.
"Jia Niang, why are you here today? Isn't the workshop construction busy? Please help me check my account book. I'm still not very familiar with your double-entry bookkeeping method. If there are any mistakes, please correct them as soon as possible."
In order to better manage the flow of funds in the shop, Shen Jia also taught Fuqiu the double-entry bookkeeping method from his previous life. Every income and expenditure had a source, and only by the end-of-year accounting could one clearly see the source and destination of every sum of money.
In fact, Shen Jia thought Fuqiu was really smart. He had only been teaching her for less than two months, and she was already able to handle the business on her own. The only thing she lacked was confidence. She would ask him to help check things every few days, worried that any problems would affect the shop's business.
Shen Jia took the account book handed to him and checked it carefully. Just as he expected, every inflow and outflow of funds was clearly traceable without any mistakes or omissions.
She closed the account book, looked up at Fuqiu who was waiting anxiously, and said with a smile, "Fuqiu, your skills are almost as good as mine. I think you should just be the accountant of our shop. Managing money is not a simple matter.
You're truly outstanding. Have more confidence in yourself. From now on, I'll hand over the entire responsibility to you and review it during the year-end inventory."
Facing Shen Jia's praise in front of so many people, Fuqiu's face flushed red all the way down to her neck. "Jia Niang, please stop teasing me. You taught me all this. If you don't check, who can spot the mistakes?"
"I won't say any more. I'm giving it to you, so it's yours. Everyone heard that, right? From now on, for any withdrawals or anything like that, go to your accountant, Miss Fuqiu. I won't be involved in this mess anymore."
Hearing Shen Jia's voice, which didn't sound like a joke, the few people who were still busy in the yard quickly responded, "Got it, Boss!"
There was really no turning back, so Fuqiu had no choice but to agree. This was mainly because Shen Jia had been so busy lately that she'd barely been seen, and she secretly hoped she could share some of the burden.
The loud voice made Shen Jia turn around and look. After so long, she realized that the six people she bought had undergone great changes. Especially their figures, they no longer looked as empty as before when they put on clothes.
Even the youngest son, who was pale and looked like he was about to collapse, no longer had the bloodless look as before. The red fireworks shining on his face added a bit of vitality to him.
Time quickly entered the twelfth lunar month, and even the severe winter cold could not extinguish the joy in everyone's hearts.
Shen Jia's tofu workshop was completed a few days ago. Its walls, made of a mixture of yellow mud, straw, and gravel, are sturdy and warm. Built entirely according to Shen Jia's drawings, it's safe and secure.
Moreover, the workshop did not seem particularly special among the other yellow buildings. Now it only lacked its own machine. Judging from the situation, it would probably take until after the New Year to get it. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious waiting.
Walking on the street, Shen Jia could also feel the joy of the people. Various candies and cakes that only appeared during the New Year were baked, and the sounds of adults and children playing could be heard everywhere.
To better experience the border atmosphere, she stopped at a stall. Suddenly, she heard someone say, "Do you think it's getting colder here this year? I feel like two padded jackets aren't enough!"
"It snowed unusually early today, so it's understandable that the weather is a bit cold."
"But do you think it's colder in our northern border or in the Xiongnu? They won't invade us, will they?"
"You've forgotten General Yan's previous record. If the Xiongnu don't want to break the agreement, it will take ten years for them to invade."
After hearing this, Shen Jia became more and more interested in General Yan, who was highly respected by the people of the Northern Territory. Since she came to the Northern Territory, she had heard this name so many times that her ears were covered with calluses.
