Mu Yi'an assigned Steward Wei to be in charge of buying and selling, and Steward Li to be in charge of all household affairs. The division of labor was clear, and everyone did their job well, which was quite good.
"Thank you, ma'am. I'm not afraid of hard work."
Manager Wei was happy. He did his best, and his wife would not mistreat him. His children would also have something to do, and life would get better and better.
"Alright, get ready. We'll open for business once Butler Li has calculated an auspicious day."
These next few days, practice grilling skewers a lot. Don't worry about using up meat. Go to the farm to practice. If you can't finish the skewers, share them with the farmhands and tenants. If they eat them, it's not a waste.
Mu Yi'an instructed the farm to slaughter pigs and sheep, divide the meat, wash it, cut it into pieces, skewer it, and then deliver it to the shop.
There are too many people in the village to handle everything, so it's convenient to hire temporary workers from nearby villages.
“Madam, I plan to have them skewer meat in the back room of the courtyard, with Sister Xu in charge of supervising. We intend to hire women and teenagers from the tenant farmers, paying them by the piece, one coin for every twenty skewers.”
Manager Wei and his team calculated that if the cut pieces of meat were roughly the same size, one person could thread forty or fifty skewers in half an hour.
“Alright, if you don’t have enough manpower, hire temporary workers. You and the manager of the estate have discussed it and arranged the personnel.”
Those who work must be clean and efficient. Prepare aprons and headscarves, and make sure your hair is neatly combed so that no hair falls into the food.
The fingernails need to be checked regularly and shouldn't be too long. Before working, wash your hands thoroughly, and clean and dry all tools properly..."
Mu Yi'an summarized her past life's work experience and concluded that hygiene must be taken seriously.
Mu Yi'an had told Steward Wei everything she could think of, but she couldn't think of anything else for the moment.
After seeing Steward Wei off, Mu Yi'an asked Sister Fang to find Steward Li and have someone calculate an auspicious day for the opening.
Mu Yi'an was also tired and wanted to take a nap.
After Fang's wife had finished serving her, she went to find Steward Li and also wanted to talk to Mianhua about making shoes.
Now, things are good both at home and outside. Since the master is doing well, the servants are also doing well.
Her son, Mianhua, is fifteen years old this year. In two years, she will ask her mother to arrange a marriage for her. She has no other desires!
