Chapter 183 Initial Formation
"Then how is the salary calculated?"
After Song Yu asked, he waited for Zhang Juexia to answer.
"Of course, it's still piecework, just like before. The more you work, the more you earn!"
"But this is complicated. Knitting and embroidery are technical jobs, as is needlework. Although cutting is a bit simpler, I'm afraid I won't be able to cut if I don't have the knowledge in my mind."
After Song Yu finished his analysis, Zhang Juexia came up with a solution.
"How about grouping?"
Song Yu was puzzled, "How do you divide it?"
"A few people work in groups, each with their own responsibilities. Finally, they produce a finished product. They are paid according to the number of finished products, and then they share the wages equally among themselves."
Song Yu thought about it and felt that it was feasible.
Ye Suyun put forward her own idea, "Needlework and embroidery are very time-consuming. If we rush the work blindly, I'm afraid the quality will be affected."
Li Yiqin also agreed with Ye Suyun's idea. "According to this division method, each team must have at least five people. However, the first step is simple. If everyone gets the same pay, the people who embroider later will lose their enthusiasm."
"That's easy. Each group only has one cutter. We can add more people based on the complexity of the process."
Song Yu added, "In that case, we can just find someone who knows how to cut, and the rest of us can just divide the work among ourselves."
"We need to divide them into groups to encourage motivation. We'll have a competition once a month, and the group with the most output will get a reward."
"Juexia, I'm really impressed by your brain."
Liu Jinhua couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Leave the grouping to Sister Song. We'll make the overall arrangements based on their performance, or perhaps by asking for everyone's opinions. We'll try to have it done by the time we start work after the 15th."
Liu Jinhua worked the most actively, "I'll notify them to come over right away. If this matter is settled sooner, everyone will feel at ease.
Beixiu's wife, you don't know, they are all getting impatient at home, and there are more than one or two people coming to my house to inquire about things, because they are afraid that there will be no work in a few days and the family will have no income.
If they heard the news, they would be overjoyed."
As soon as Liu Jinhua left, Li Yiqin stood up and walked a few steps in the room. "Aunt Jinhua, what you said is absolutely true. I've been asked this question several times."
Li Yulan also nodded in agreement, "Sister-in-law, Master, I originally wanted to invite your family for dinner, but plans can't keep up with changes, so we have to postpone it."
"Qin Eryong's grandmother is back?"
"Well, my mother-in-law is back too. I'm looking forward to starting work soon. I've been staying home long enough. When Qin Eryong isn't home, his grandmother acts up. It's really annoying."
Li Yiqin rolled her eyes and said, "If Mrs. Qin didn't do this, she wouldn't be Mrs. Qin anymore. But this is much better than before.
Yulan, if you ask me, you and Eryong should work hard here in Juexia, and when the time comes, buy a piece of land and build a house, and don't get involved with them.
No matter how good your life is, if you let her mess things up every day, your relationship with Eryong will fade."
"Eryong and I have the same idea, but Eryong hasn't paid back the money we borrowed when we got married."
Li Yulan was a little depressed, and Song Yu comforted her, "As long as you work hard with your sister-in-law, you will save money for building a house quickly. Maybe your sister-in-law will give you processing fees now."
"Really? Sister-in-law."
Ye Suyun and Li Yulan spoke at the same time and looked at Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia pointed at the two of them and said, "You two are really greedy for money! Sister Song and I have already discussed it. Since the purse making process is a little complicated, we will increase the labor cost by ten cents for each purse."
"Very good."
Song Yu had been thinking about how to arrange these people. After about an incense stick's time, she figured out how to arrange them. "Juexia, form a group of seven. Two people will do needlework, three will do embroidery, one will make lace, and the last person will be responsible for checking the assembly.
There are 28 of us in total, so we can be divided into four groups.
But you have to find someone separately to do the tailoring, and you have to think about the salary for that person as well."
Zhang Juexia thought this was a good idea, and she didn't have to worry about finding people to cut the clothes. In the current situation, there were many people who wanted to make money. As long as she spread the word, someone would come to her door tomorrow.
"Yulan, I'll leave this matter to you. Once everyone is here, tell everyone.
Also, we need to add more people to our workshop. Let’s ask if anyone has relatives who want to come and earn money. They can come to our workshop.
I just want food and lodging, preferably with someone near our village."
Li Yulan nodded in agreement.
"Sister Song, please help me find the leaders of these four groups. Aunt Yulan and Aunt Jinhua have already been decided, so you can just find two more."
Song Yu asked Zhang Juexia in confusion, "Aren't your sister-in-law and Suyun already there? Do we still need to look for them?"
Li Yiqin and Ye Suyun waved their hands, "We can't do it."
Zhang Juexia smiled, "It's rare that you two are so on the same page. Sister Song, my eldest sister-in-law's current task is to give birth to a child. Suyun has to go to town in a few days. She's getting married in the second half of the year and has no free time at all."
Ye Suyun lowered her head shyly, "Sister-in-law, you only know how to frame me."
"I'm telling the truth, but I don't mean to frame you. Didn't the Zhao family come to propose marriage? Don't you want to get married?"
Ye Suyun stamped her feet and turned her head away.
When Zhang Juexia wanted to tease her a little longer, he heard footsteps outside. The yard suddenly became lively and people came in one after another.
Liu Jinhua told everyone what she had known before.
Everyone was of course happy to have work to do, and their voices unconsciously became a few decibels higher.
When Liu Jinhua saw Zhang Juexia leading Song Yu in, she told them to shut up.
Zhang Juexia said a few opening words and then left the space to Song Yu.
Li Yulan was helping out from the side. Song Yu had her reasons for dividing the things. After all, she knew the people here best.
In half an hour, Song Yu had divided the groups and selected the leaders of the other two groups. One of them was Ye Yun'an's wife, Wang Meiying, who was also Liu Jinhua's sister-in-law.
The other one is Ye Beiyan’s wife Zhao Taohua. According to seniority, Zhang Juexia should call her sister-in-law.
After arranging everything, Song Yu told them to come to work on the 16th. He also gave the team leaders some additional instructions before letting them leave.
Zhang Juexia watched Song Yu's arrangements from the side and felt that Song Yu was more capable.
Even now, their handicraft workshop would be considered a qualified makeshift team.
She thought that Song Yu would have more things to worry about in the future, so she brought up the matter of paying her for the work, "Sister Song, when we really start working, shouldn't we get a raise on our wages?"
Song Yu shook his head, "Juexia, you've helped me so much, don't even mention a pay raise.
On weekdays, Sister Jin and I eat and drink with you, which also costs money."
