Chapter 441 Hongjia Village 6
When Yi Ke heard Hong Xing's mother say that the beans they grew here were very productive, he came up with the idea of opening a small workshop here, specializing in the production of daily condiments such as soy sauce. Using local materials, he could not only help the villagers make money and improve their lives, but he could also make money. It was killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it?
"Sister-in-law, are you serious? You want to open a workshop here?" Hongwu was a little bit unbelieving.
"Yes, you heard it right. I would like to ask you and sister-in-law to take charge of it, but I don't know if you agree." Yike said.
"I agree, why not! I can't thank you enough, thank you! Thank you!" Hongwu thanked repeatedly. Hong Xing shouted to Yu Rui who was busy in the kitchen, "A Rui, A Rui, come out quickly, come out quickly."
Yu Rui came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron around her waist, and asked, "What's going on? I'm cooking."
"Come on, come and thank your sister-in-law. She opened a workshop in our house and asked us to be in charge of it. Come on and thank her." Hongwu said excitedly.
"Oh, opening a workshop, but I can't do anything. What if I don't do it well? I can't ruin the job for my benefactor." Although Yu Rui was happy, she still had her sanity.
"Well, I, I'm just busy having fun. Yes, sister-in-law, we've never done this before. What if, I mean what if," Hongwu didn't finish his words, and Yike waved his hand to stop him.
"This workshop is for making sauces, such as soybean paste, bean paste, broad bean paste, etc. I will tell you how to make them. It's very simple. You all make them normally, right?" Yi Ke asked.
"That's fine. I can make it. It just won't taste that good." Yu Rui felt relieved when she heard about making the sauce.
Yike also felt more at ease. Being able to make common sauces meant that she understood the basic procedures. She only needed to tell her the key points of whether the sauce tasted good or not. At least she didn't need to teach her step by step.
Yike said to Ziyi: "This is my personal workshop, how about it?"
"Okay, you have the final say." Ziyi was very happy. His wife could think of ways to make money even by eating snacks. She was so smart.
Yike said to Yu Rui and her husband, "It takes time to make this sauce completely, so I'll leave it to you two. If you want to do more, you can ask others to help you if you can't handle it, but you have to pay for it yourself. Your wages are 30 yuan per person per month, and I'll give you a share of the money from selling the bean paste."
Yu Rui and Hong Wu both looked at Yi Ke with wide eyes and mouths, asking, "Thirty, thirty dollars? Isn't this too much?"
"Not much, and after selling, you get a share of the money, which is the big share." Yi Ke thought that they might not know how much a share is, so he gave an example, "A share is, if you sell bean paste for ten yuan, one yuan of it is given to you. If you sell it for a hundred yuan, then you get ten yuan. So the more you make, the more you sell, and the more you get."
Hongwu and Yu Rui felt as if they were hit by gold falling from the sky. How could it be so unreal?
Yike saw Yu Rui pinching Hongwu's arm hard. Hongwu hurriedly grabbed Yu Rui's hand, looked at her reproachfully, and whispered, "Stop making trouble."
"Does it hurt?" Yu Rui asked.
"It hurts. You're using so much force, it would be strange if it doesn't hurt." Hongwu replied in a low voice.
"It hurts. This isn't a dream." Yu Rui rushed over and grabbed Yi Ke's hand so hard that Yi Ke couldn't break free.
"Oh, people here have so many bad habits. One of them kneels down when he gets excited, and another one grabs people's hands when he gets excited." Yi Ke thought to himself.
Yu Rui grabbed Yi Ke's hand and said excitedly: "Sister-in-law, thank you, thank you! You are really a great benefactor to our family."
"Yes, yes, our family has received so much kindness from you, we don't know how to thank you." Hongwu also sobered up from his excitement, so he said, "Forget about the share of the money, we only need to take the 30 yuan a month, 30 yuan a month for two people is enough, 30 yuan a month for one person is too much."
"Yes, it's too much. We will help your sister-in-law even if we don't ask for money. It's not a very tiring job. Just do as the head of the family says." Yu Rui also chimed in.
"That won't do. The wages are all the same where we are. If you don't believe me, ask your cousin." He said as he saw Hong Xing appear at the door.
Hong Xing told Chen Dawang what Yi Ke had told them. The two of them had originally come to show Yi Ke the estimated price, and they happened to hear what Yi Ke said.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, what Yi Ke said is true. I make at least 30 yuan a month now." Hong Xing quickly proved.
"Really, really?" Hongwu and Yu Rui were so surprised. They couldn't earn that much in a year, but now they have so much in a month. They had unreal thoughts again.
"Hey, you two, why don't you thank your benefactor quickly? What are you standing there for? Work more carefully and diligently in the future." When Hong Xing's mother saw Yu Rui being called out, she also came out and shouted.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Hongwu and Yu Rui both hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
After the matter was decided, Chen Dawang showed the estimated purchase price to Ziyi for review. Ziyi made some modifications and gave it to Hongwu.
"Hongwu, this is just an approximate price. You need to adjust it appropriately based on the quality of the beans. You can't charge the same price for good and bad beans. From now on, you two husband and wife are Yi Ke's people, and only Yi Ke has the power to allocate things to you two. You two must remember this." Ziyi instructed.
"Brother Ziyi, don't worry, we will follow your instructions and complete them seriously." Hongwu assured, and Yu Rui nodded in agreement.
"As long as you finish your work, you can also do other things, such as part-time work, and still make money," Yike added.
"Where can you find temporary workers? You have to go outside, and they are hard to find." Hong Wu said.
"It will be ready soon. We are also planning to open a breeding farm here. Didn't Tang Jianguo tell you about it?" Yike said.
"Yes, I was so happy that I almost forgot about it. Is this really going to be launched?" Hongwu asked. "Do it, do it right away, no need to wait until next year, you can do it now. Here, Chen Dawang, he will stay to take care of these, so in addition to doing the things in the workshop well, you can also assist him. The wages will be calculated separately, and the specific amount depends on what he asks you to do." As soon as he finished speaking, Hongwu's eyes brightened.
"I, I'm getting two salaries?" he asked in disbelief.
"Yes, it's not just you. If I have time to work at the farm, I can also get two salaries." She kept encouraging them and making promises, but this "pie" was real.
"Good, good, that's great. But I must finish the workshop first."
Hongwu and Yu Rui both expressed their opinions.
