Building a workshop is a big project that can earn you more money than building a house. And building a wine-making workshop is not just about building a workshop, it also requires a warehouse, a drying plant...
Since there was no one, Ke Xin looked at the other one: "Master Meng, I also want to build a workshop in Anjia Village. Although the area is not as large as the winery, there are still many places to build inside. The time is also set for the first day of February. I wonder if you have any problems here."
Master Meng didn't know what was going on in this workshop. If it was just an ordinary small workshop, then he really didn't need it, so he asked, "Excuse me, what is going on in this workshop? Approximately how big is the workshop?"
"Five-spice powder, air-dried sausage, and sausages of various flavors." Ke Xin finished speaking, frowning slightly and adding, "It's about three or four acres of land. Besides the workshop, there's a warehouse and a drying room."
Master Meng's eyes lit up when he heard this. "When I have time, I'll definitely be there with my team." He smiled and said, "When can you give me the blueprints for the workshop?"
Ke Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Come back after the Lantern Festival to get the blueprints."
Master Meng nodded. It was almost time for the meal, so he was not in a hurry. When he was about to ask what materials were needed, Ke Xin had already spoken.
"Master Cao, I'm going to build a villa in Anjia Village. Do you have time?"
Master Cao didn't think or hesitate, and nodded quickly, saying, "When I have time, I am very confident in my skills in building a villa. Leave it to me to build it. I will definitely satisfy the young lady."
So far, Master Cao is the only one who satisfies Ke Xin. He did not hesitate or waver, but responded to her immediately. No matter how good his cooking skills are, at least he does not serve dishes to different people based on their cooking skills.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Master Cao."
The winemaking workshop, the five-spice sausage workshop, and her own villa were all confirmed, and now there were only a few left to be finalized. She counted on her fingers and found that there were at least three more.
So, he asked the people on his left: "Master Yun, I need to build a pickled vegetable workshop. Do you have time?"
Master Yun smiled with his honest face and nodded repeatedly: "I have time. It's just after the Chinese New Year, I have plenty of time. If Madam can hand over the sauerkraut workshop to me, I will definitely build it quickly and well for you, and save you money."
Speaking of saving money, the masters who were assigned to the mountain looked at Master Yun who was speaking, with a hint of displeasure in their eyes. It sounded as if they were not saving money enough.
After listening to this, Master Xiao, Master Meng, and Master Cao all expressed their opinions: "Don't worry, Madam, we are absolutely honest and will definitely help you spend the least money and get the best house."
Ke Xin smiled at this group of veterans and said, "I trust all of you masters. If you cut corners in the workshop or the courtyard, not only will I not pay you, I'll also make you start over. If you think my conditions are too harsh, please leave now."
The people in the room looked at each other. They had spoken so beautifully before. If they left, wouldn't it be a slap in their faces? If this got out, how would they survive in the town, the county and Huaizhou Prefecture?
No one left, so Ke Xin continued to look for the next craftsman. Among several people, Ke Xin chose a master named Wen: "My mother's family needs to build a separate courtyard. Master Wen, do you have time?"
Master Wen lived up to his name. He looked very gentle and didn't seem like someone who would get angry. He gave people a very polite feeling. He smiled and said, "When I have time."
There were no extra words, just three words to return to Ke Xin's words.
After all the calculations, Ke Xin still had a workshop for all-purpose seasoning and chopped pepper sauce, which was added later. She originally wanted to give the recipe to Manager Fang, but after thinking about it, she decided to produce it by herself to prevent it from being leaked. She hoped to make a fortune before Liu Ji could imitate it.
Ke Xin finally handed over the workshop to Master Ma, and finally Ke Xin unified the start time.
"Except for Master Wen who started work on the 9th of February, the rest started on the 1st of February. Everyone will pick up the blueprints after the Lantern Festival."
After that, she paused and continued, "My requirements are very simple. Build it according to the building on my blueprint. If there is anything you don't understand, please ask."
"Secondly, whether I'm building a house or a workshop, it must be sturdy, waterproof, mildew-proof, and breathable. All of them must be tiled. This also applies to warehouses and firewood rooms. If stone is needed in some places, we won't skimp on it. Don't worry about the wages; I won't shortchange you. However... if you cut corners, I won't tolerate it."
"Finally, after the house is built, the ground must be clean when people walk away. I don't like sloppy builders."
After saying these points, the master was still very self-aware and expressed his acceptance.
Ke Xin nodded. Since she had accepted it, she naturally had to show some appreciation. "If everyone has no objections, I'll pay you half of your wages when you come to get the blueprints. This is my sincerity and it also gives you peace of mind."
The masters who were selected were all smiling, and their smiles looked very festive, while those who were not selected looked at them with envy and congratulated them one after another.
Ke Xin looked at the others and smiled, "Don't be discouraged if you weren't chosen. My eldest and second uncles on my mother's side are also planning to build houses, but they haven't found any craftsmen yet. As far as I know, these two uncles are also planning to build villas."
