"Xia'er..."
Song Laosi had just opened his mouth.
Song Qiu retorted, "Dad, don't you know our family's situation? We can manage all the work selling food at our stall, why would we hire them? Just to stand by and watch?"
Song Xia didn't say it, and Song Qiu and the others naturally didn't know that she already had a shop in her hands.
Even though she opened a shop.
She wouldn't hire Song Lao Er or his group either.
She wouldn't want the rest of the Song family either.
Song Xia had other plans.
She opened her mouth and said, "Second Uncle, if you really want us to hire you to work, then you'd better wait, because I'm planning to open a workshop in the village."
Now that she had a shop, she naturally had to make use of it.
In addition to the previously sold dishes such as zha jiang mian (noodles with soybean paste), liangpi (cold skin noodles), and liang mian (cold noodles),...
Song Xia also plans to sell wontons and hot and sour noodles.
The main ingredient of hot and sour noodles is sweet potato vermicelli, which didn't exist in their time. She plans to open a workshop and hire people to make it.
Some of them were produced and sold in their shop.
The other part was sold to other places in cooperation with Ji Ying.
This made things convenient for them and also allowed them to earn extra money.
We need to hire people anyway.
It doesn't matter who you hire.
Hiring them isn't out of the question.
In any case, none of them are a match for her.
They dare to cause trouble.
She beat them so badly they regretted ever being born.
Song Qiu really didn't expect that her second sister would open a workshop and need them.
Song Lao Er and the others were overjoyed.
Qiao Lianhua asked curiously, "Xia'er, what kind of workshop do you want to open?"
As soon as she said this...
Song Lao Er kicked him, saying, "What business is it of yours what kind of workshop Xia'er is going to open? Didn't she tell us to wait? We'll find out when the time comes?"
Qiao Lianhua felt wronged but didn't dare to say anything.
With a beaming smile, Song Lao Er said to Song Xia, "Xia'er, if you need any help from us, just let us know. We promise to be there whenever you call."
"OK!"
Song Xia responded.
After they left.
Song Laosi sobbed and said, "Daughter, you're so good to me. I knew you cared about me. You only wanted them because of me, didn't you?"
Song Xia: "..."
He even started working on his own strategy.
Song Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Second Sister, are you really going to use them? Aren't you afraid they might do something behind the scenes?"
"It's okay, let's see if they can cause more trouble or if my fists are stronger."
Song Xia replied to her.
Song Qiu was speechless for a moment.
Fang Xiu came over and said, "Xia'er, if you're going to recruit them, then what about your eldest uncle, third uncle, and the others..."
Upon hearing this...
Song Xia smiled and said, "Of course I'll recruit them all. As long as they're willing to come, I'll take them all."
Fang Xiu was somewhat surprised, but quite happy inside.
Old Song wiped away his tears, leaned closer, and whispered, "Daughter, what kind of workshop are you planning to open? Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Sweet potato vermicelli workshop".
"Of course there's something I need you to do."
Song Xia turned to Song Lao Si and said, "Once the workshop opens, you and your uncle will manage it together. One of you will be in charge of external affairs, and the other will be in charge of internal affairs."
Should one focus on external affairs or internal affairs?
Song Laosi looked completely bewildered.
Song Xia continued, "Here's what I'm thinking: Uncle will be in charge of managing everything in the workshop, and you'll be in charge of leading people to deliver the goods and taking inventory of the incoming stock."
Upon hearing that she wanted to take responsibility for all of this...
Song Laosi whispered, "Can I do it? I can't even count properly."
Song Xia: "..."
She really overestimated him.
Song Xia pursed her lips and said, "If you can't count, then you can learn. I'll teach you for a little while every day, and I'll also arrange for someone to assist you."
Can he not learn it?
Song Laosi only dared to think it in his heart, and didn't dare to say it out loud.
The following evening.
Song Xia asked Song Lao Si and the others to call Song Lao Da and the others to their house.
Song Lao Er and the others didn't tell anyone.
therefore.
Boss Song and the others had no idea that she was going to open a workshop.
Each of them came and asked her curiously if there was something she wanted to tell them.
Song Xia told them slowly, "It's like this, I'm planning to open a workshop. I called you all here to ask if you want to work in our workshop. The workshop will probably open at the end of August."
It's the end of July now, and there's about a month left until the end of August.
Upon hearing this, Granny Song asked, "Xia'er, do you really need so many people?"
Upon hearing this...
Song Xia said calmly, "If you have so many, Grandma, you can come too. You can peel sweet potatoes for us, and I'll pay you for your work."
"That would be great."
Granny Song laughed.
Boss Song then said, "Xia'er, are you sure you can really make money? Don't let yourselves end up losing money."
"Don't worry, it's definitely possible."
Song Xia answered without the slightest hesitation.
Qiao Lianhua was most concerned about her wages.
She immediately asked, "Xia'er, your workshop is hiring. How much are you paid per day?"
Regarding wages.
Song Xia had already thought it through. She said, "The wages are like this: the team leader gets fifty coins a day, and team members get thirty-eight coins a day. If you don't take any days off, you get one hundred coins a month for perfect attendance. There are holidays, and there are gifts for holidays and New Year's..."
Song Laoda and his men were stunned. Not only was the wage substantial, but there was also extra money every month, and they could even have fun and receive gifts during holidays.
What an amazing workshop!
Song Xingdu was tempted: "Xia'er, can I come too? Just say the word and I'll resign from my job with our manager in a few days."
He earns a few hundred coins a month as a waiter.
Now there are better options.
Of course he wanted to switch jobs.
"sure!"
Song Xia originally wanted to recruit Song Xing to work in their workshop. He was literate, good at accounting, quick-witted, and adaptable. She planned to have him assist Song Lao Si.
Goodness, he earns fifty coins a day. If he could become a team leader, he could earn more than one tael of silver a month.
That adds up to a lot of money over a year.
Song Lao Er became happier and happier as he thought about it, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must become the team leader.
Song Qiang, the eldest son of Song Laoda, asked from the side, "Xia'er, are there any conditions for becoming a team leader?"
"right!"
Song Xia truthfully stated, "First, you need to be good at accounting, and second, you need to be efficient. I initially appointed the team leader, but later the team members voted to decide, and the leader is changed every month..."
Oh, this is so troublesome.
Song Lao Er wanted to complain, but he didn't dare.
Send them away.
Song Xia called Fang Xiu over to sit under the eaves and talk.
“Mother, Uncle’s leg is much better now, isn’t it? Once the workshop is up and running, I want him to help harvest sweet potatoes and help lead people to town to haul goods. I’ll pay him one tael of silver and two hundred copper coins a month.”
Fang Xiu held Song Xia's hand gratefully and said, "Xia'er, thank you, Mother."
"We don't talk about these things as family."
Just a few days after Song Xia decided to open the workshop, the day arrived for them to dig the foundation for their new house.
After paying homage to all the gods and deities of heaven and earth.
After Song Laosi dug the first hole, Foreman Wang and his men got to work.
Song Lao Er and the others all came today, and they all helped with weeding and digging up trees.
Although Song Youdi was included, she did it unwillingly.
Previously, Song Xia had gathered her family members at their home.
Her parents didn't let her go.
Now they're asking her to do the work.
Song Xia knew she was unwilling, so she ignored her and went straight to chat with Foreman Wang: "Uncle Wang, you said before that the house with one entrance and one exit wouldn't take long to repair, and that it could be completed and ready for occupancy by the end of August, right?"
