Feng Gaihua smiled and discussed it with her husband.
"When the cotton fabric comes back, we can save some cotton."
"We should get some more blankets for our family; then we won't be cold at night."
"And I think the fabric for making quilts is quite nice; it's pure cotton. I'll make a couple of new clothes for the children."
The other women in the village also had the same idea.
After lunch, when no one was resting, everyone rushed to the brigade headquarters to wait for their materials.
Who knew that Huang Youqing first instructed them to clean out all the empty warehouses and buildings in the brigade headquarters.
There are indeed several buildings here at the brigade headquarters, which used to be warehouses for storing grain.
In recent years, there has been no grain left in the disaster-stricken warehouses.
But these rooms are quite spacious, not only spacious, but also with level floors, and all of them have been properly renovated.
Originally, a layer of wooden planks was laid on the ground to store grain, and these planks were carefully processed.
This place can now be considered a uniquely advantageous location.
A mat was laid on the ground.
This bamboo mat is usually laid on the kang (a heated brick bed), but now it's laid on the ground, smooth and flat, without a single splinter.
The women worked while wondering what their captain was up to, whispering amongst themselves, wondering what he was doing.
After they finished tidying up, they also tidied up the other empty rooms and arranged them in the same way.
Jiang Tiecheng only showed up at this moment.
Jiang Tiecheng was accompanied by Huang Youqing's wife, who was also a capable woman in charge.
There was also the village accountant and two scorekeepers, who were Captain Huang's two sons.
After all, the production team leader should have some advantages.
Jiang Tiecheng spoke directly.
"From today onwards, this will be everyone's workplace. Every day, everyone will come here to report for duty."
Two people per group.
After everyone has formed their own groups, they can collect the materials on-site to process the quilts and receive the quantity they need.
A certain number of blankets had to be handed in at the end of each day. Someone was personally supervising this.
There are dedicated scorekeepers supervising the process on-site, and everyone comes here to register after finishing their quilts.
I suggest you work in pairs and split the processing fee equally.
These words were like pouring boiling water into a frying pan.
It exploded instantly.
It disrupted everyone's plans.
"Team leader, what do you mean? Why do we need to work in pairs? I make quilts quickly, and they make them slowly. If I work with them, won't I be at a disadvantage?"
"Yeah, there are fast and slow methods, why should we do it this way?"
"We'll do it ourselves, we'll earn our own money, so why do we have to work here?"
"It's so much better for us to work warmly and comfortably on our own kang (heated brick bed). But there's not even a stove in the village warehouse. We're going to freeze to death."
"They say a young man with no experience is unreliable, but look at how they arrange work."
"Women's Director, why don't you say something?"
"You be the judge. You should know the situation in our village best. Do you think this method will work?"
Women's Director Huang said with a smile,
“Don’t tell me.”
This is the processing interaction group.
The team leader is Xiao Jiang, and I just follow his instructions; I do whatever he says.
"Besides, if the team leader wants to do it this way, he must have a reason for doing it this way."
Before Sister-in-law Huang arrived, her husband had discussed with her that there would be follow-up orders.
If the first batch of orders doesn't turn out well, there's no chance for future orders.
But these short-sighted people in the village might really turn it into a one-off deal, so we must stand on Jiang Tiecheng's side.
For the sake of the long term, Sister-in-law Huang will definitely stand on Jiang Tiecheng's side.
Upon hearing this, the women realized that the production team leader and his wife completely disregarded their lives.
They immediately turned their attention to Jiang Tiecheng.
"Team Leader Jiang, what you're doing is inappropriate. You have to give us an explanation!"
"Why should we do this?"
"Why should we share the work with others when we can all do our own thing? That would be a huge loss for us."
"Besides, we'll process it the same way when we get home. You can just do a group quality check at the end."
Everyone has their own little schemes.
Jiang Tiecheng clapped his hands.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down."
I know you're not convinced and think that it's illogical for a man like me, who has never held a needle and thread, to make such an arrangement.
But what I want to tell everyone is that if we want long-term development, then collective cooperation is inevitable.
Don't underestimate the power of two people working together. Think about it yourselves, when someone makes a quilt...
Wouldn't it be faster to get it done if you asked your neighbors for help?
Take this quilt for example. It takes two people to lay out the cotton and two people to sew it. Isn't that much faster than if one person sews it?
It takes one person an hour to make one quilt, but two people can make one in 20 minutes. That means you can make three quilts in an hour.
If you don't believe it, you can try this method.
As for the issue of speed, everyone knew what was going on when they formed their own groups, since they were all members of the same village and knew each other well.
"How are we supposed to put together a team?! Don't you guys even know what kind of partners you're looking for?"
"But even if this problem is solved, why force us to do it here?"
It's so cold here, we're freezing, what are we going to do?
We can do it just as well back at home on our own kang (heated brick bed).
"As the group leader, you can't be indifferent to the lives of us members."
More importantly, if they don't go back to their own homes, how can they take the fabric and cotton with them?
"Why can't you go home and do it? Don't you know what you're doing?!"
These quilts all have a specified quantity of cotton and a specific size of fabric.
If any problems arise, they will refuse to accept the goods, and then everyone will not get a penny and will have to pay compensation collectively.
I don't want one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch.
"Besides, when everyone works together, chatting and laughing, we get things done faster."
It's not so cold here when there are more people. If you're really afraid of the cold, I can have two braziers lit.
"If you have any objections to my current decision, you can withdraw your registration now."
Jiang Tiecheng's voice turned cold, clearly indicating that there was no room for negotiation.
Everyone who looked at Jiang Tiecheng felt resentment.
Originally, he thought he could take this opportunity to make up for his own family's shortcomings, but Jiang Tiecheng blocked him completely, which was equivalent to cutting off his source of income.
For a time, everyone was filled with resentment towards Jiang Tiecheng.
But no one could bring themselves to refuse. These days, it's not easy to get an order like this, so why would they really turn it down?
While they hesitated, several women whispered among themselves below.
The leader was the village's famous sugar rooster.
Not only are they stingy, but they also try to take a few hairs off others.
