In line with the idea of treating everyone equally, Ning Wuyang first asked the old housekeeper to prepare some things as materials for selecting suitable personnel.
After getting ready, he glanced at the three rows of young men in front of him who had been whispering to each other, feeling a little disappointed. Then he looked at the nurses in the back who might have physical disabilities but were standing upright with a smile on their face.
Everyone is treated equally, but there are some things that will make people look at them with admiration once they are presented.
For example, self-discipline.
"Is there anyone who can settle accounts?"
After Ning Wuyan finished speaking, three people raised their hands.
His eyes fell on the left hand with only the index and middle fingers left, and he pointed at the other party: "Get out of the queue."
"yes!"
The person who stood out was a young man of medium build and handsome appearance. Except for three broken fingers on his left hand, there was a large burn on the left half of his face.
He is less than twenty years old, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes of life, which are traces of being destroyed by life.
The two young men who also raised their hands had expressions of dissatisfaction on their faces when they saw the young man standing up. However, considering that the Ning family had given preferential treatment to these wounded soldiers, they could only hold back their breaths of dissatisfaction.
Ning Wuyang saw all this, he picked up the abacus and asked: "What is your name?"
"Little Zhu Xu is from Wuhu County. My grandfather worked as a bookkeeper for others. I have been able to make an abacus since I was a child and worked as a checker in the grain and grass department in the army."
Zhu Xu wiped the burns on his face with two fingers and smiled sheepishly.
"Three months ago, Xidi attacked the grain depot. I burned my face trying to put out the fire. Later, I had three fingers cut off when I chased the enemy soldiers."
Zhu Xu was generous when he introduced himself, but he was still a sensitive person at heart. Seeing that the other two boys looked a little resentful, he quickly explained: "Fifth Young Master, I have achieved military merit, and I can earn one hundred copper plates every month." Allowance, otherwise, you..."
Two other people to consider?
Zhu Xu wanted to say this, but when he thought that if he stayed in Ning Mansion, he would eat and drink for nothing at most, he felt that he couldn't say it.
A moment of dilemma.
"Don't think too much. I called you out not because I selected you, but because I gave you a priority to test you. The three of you will be hired with priority." Ning Wuyang threw the abacus towards Zhu Xu.
The other two boys immediately became energetic and thought that they were the winners.
Zhu Xu used his only two fingers to take the abacus. He held the abacus in his right hand and lightly placed the two fingers of his left hand on the abacus. His whole body was tense as if he was about to charge, and all the servants around him were stunned. .
"It's just a calculation, it's like going into battle to kill people, that's all."
"You see, he moves the arithmetic beads with two hands. If he wants to win against the other two, he has to work hard."
"If you can, go ahead. If not, don't act blind here."
Zhu Xu did not relax his vigilance when he heard the discussions around him, which made Ning Wushu very satisfied.
He immediately asked the question.
"A customer wants to pre-order thirteen bottles of perfume. One bottle of perfume costs fifty taels. She brought a five hundred tael silver note and two one hundred tael silver notes. How much money do I need to ask her for?"
Bang bang bang!
"Fifty taels."
Almost as soon as Ning Wuyan finished speaking, Zhu Xu had used his abacus to dial out the final result.
The other two boys who raised their hands looked at each other, and they both saw embarrassment in each other's eyes.
They hadn't even figured out how much thirteen bottles of perfume would cost, but Zhu Xu had even figured out how much the change would be.
Two fingers are much faster than their normal hands!
"How about it? Do you want the remaining two to stand up together and do other tasks? Selling perfume is the easiest. Calculating the cost and loss of flowers and soju will be more troublesome. Since the output involves complicated money, it must be done every day. Daily accounting, do you think you are competent?"
Can't, can't.
The two boys shook their heads like rattles.
At this time, people who were looking for high wages and meat to eat finally understood that the one-eyed boy and the others were not lucky enough to stay in the perfume shop, but they were really capable.
"Since they don't want to compete, Zhu Xu, stand behind me."
With Zhu Xu proofing.
Next, it was much smoother to select workers for making fires, chopping wood, steaming wine, cleaning, and shaking bottles.
Many wounded soldiers with inconvenient legs and feet could do better than ordinary boys at such laborious tasks as lighting a fire and chopping firewood.
For example, the matter of steaming wine is related to the alcohol concentration. The one-eyed boy has always been responsible for this matter. This time, I found a few helpers and chose a boy with a sharp nose and the ability to climb up and down easily.
Cleaning petals mainly requires carefulness, and some old men in the military are not suitable.
Finally, the perfume shaker work depends on arm strength and endurance. As long as you have fast hands, whether you have both arms intact or one arm, speed will tell the difference.
finally.
Ning Wuyang selected nine wounded soldiers and four young men to cooperate in making perfume. Zhu Xu took over the one-eyed boy's accounting for the incoming and outgoing accounts.
Three more wounded soldiers and three servants were selected to look after the home and nurse the home, a total of twenty people.
The housekeepers and nursing home guards all went through a few moves under Xiao Yunfei's hands to make sure they could survive even if they couldn't beat them.
Ning Wuyi had been watching the selection from the side, thinking that if his fifth brother was in trouble, he would step forward to help.
But it wasn't until after the selection that he realized that he was not as thoughtful in this matter as his fifth brother.
In this way, he can continue to practice martial arts at home with peace of mind and prepare for the martial arts examination.
After selecting the people, Ning Wuhao still has to go back to the shop to mix the perfume, so that these newcomers can fit their workstations, so as not to delay the perfume output.
Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure following the wall but did not show up. He said with a smile: "Third brother, if my second uncle has nothing to do recently, you can go to my shop to help and find something for him to do." , so as not to keep the illness at home."
Ning Wuyi had noticed that his father had come, but had not shown up. Seeing that his fifth brother had brought it up deliberately, he smiled bitterly and said, "Father has nothing to do with this matter. Mother needs to speak up."
"You give the 90,000 taels to the second aunt and use it as the money for the second uncle's prostitution. I think the second aunt will agree, hahaha." Ning Wuchang paused, rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and left immediately.
The second uncle's frantic screams came from behind.
"Ning Wuyan, you bastard! How dare you set up your second uncle! Sooner or later, I will have a chance to deal with you!"
Ning Wuyang felt that the second uncle's hope was slim.
The second uncle has short hands, and the second aunt will not let the second uncle stay at home all the time. As long as he comes to the perfume shop, the second uncle will see that his hands are itchy, regardless of the fact that he is the boss, she will also give him this poem in front of outsiders. Fairy thin noodles.
Return to the perfume shop.
Ning Wuchang bought beds, dishes and chopsticks and provided for their food and lodging.
Seeing the small courtyard being crowded, a distiller for steaming wine and a distiller for steaming flowers made people's faces turn red on a hot day.
He knew that when these perfumes came out, the poems he wrote in Xiaoxiang Pavilion would spread throughout Jiangnan Road.
When the time comes, orders for perfume will come in like snowflakes.
This small workshop alone cannot handle so many orders, let alone Daxing’s orders from all over the country.
"If you have money, it's not difficult to buy land and build a factory. It's just that we need to go ahead with food and grass before the soldiers and horses are used. Alcohol is easy to talk about. I'm afraid the price of these flowers... will rise accordingly."
Ning Wuhuang does not mean to do evil to others.
At that time, he shopped around and ordered enough flowers for five thousand bottles of perfume. He steamed the alcohol and plant essential oils in advance, without giving the flower shop owner a chance to raise the price.
It's just that when the flower shop owner heard that perfume can be sold for fifty taels and that a large supply is needed, there is no guarantee that he will become greedy and want to eat meat.
"Whether it's a long-term cooperation or overturning the table, it all depends on what Mr. Zhao of Hanafang thinks."
Ning Wuhao spent half a day mixing alcohol and plant essential oils into ten different barrels to blend out four thousand bottles of perfume.
Pre-order 2,000, and the remaining 2,000 will be taken out after the pre-order, with a daily limit of 200 bottles.
The rest of the process is bottling, shaking and letting it stand for observation. Ning Wuhao doesn't have to watch it in person.
Everyone was busy until late at night before going to bed.
Cheng Yi, who had been staying in the shop all the time, said he was just eating for free, and he was not allowed to cook in person.
The next day.
Ning Wuchang didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. When he was about to cook lunch himself, Boss Zhao came to his door.
