"It's rare that my aunt is interested in working in my workshop. As long as she is free and accepts the conditions of my workshop, the workshop will naturally be willing to accept her."
The village chief was startled.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "What are the conditions for working in your workshop?"
Shen Shuangshuang turned his head and looked at Uncle Wu sitting next to him.
Uncle Wu stood up and saluted Shen Shuangshuang, and then saluted the village chief.
"There are three conditions for employing people in the workshop: first, they must be between the ages of fifteen and fifty-five and in good health; second, they must be able to cooperate with the workshop's production arrangements and work overtime; third, they must abide by the workshop's regulations, work conscientiously, and not be late or leave early. .”
The village chief nodded.
These conditions are very simple.
Shen Shuangshuang gave Uncle Wu a look and asked him to talk about the benefits of their workshop.
So Uncle Wu bowed to the village chief again and continued: "Currently, piece-rate wages are implemented in the workshop. The more you work, the more you will get."
"Because newbies are not familiar with the work, their wages may be less in the first one or two days. But the workshop work can be picked up quickly. Once you become proficient, your wages will generally be relatively stable."
The village chief looked at Uncle Wu curiously.
Uncle Wu continued: "Based on the current wages of workers in the workshop, they only work four and a half hours a day. If they don't work overtime, their wages are around sixty-five cents. If they work overtime, most workers can earn more than nine cents a day. Ten coins. There are those who are nimble and have over a hundred coins."
The village chief's eyes widened in shock.
"This - so many?" He almost lost his composure.
"It's not much." Shen Shuangshuang answered with a smile.
"The more you work, the more you get. The more wages you pay, the more labor they put in."
The village chief had already begun to ponder.
Their family is considered a wealthy family in the village. Just now, the eldest daughter-in-law proposed that she wanted to work in the Shen family's workshop, but he still disagreed.
I felt that I probably wouldn't be able to make much money if I went there, and it would also delay my family's affairs.
But now, he thinks a little differently.
It's more than one hundred taels of silver a day, which is three taels of silver a month. Even a young man can hardly earn so much.
Thinking of this, the village chief became even more excited.
Their family has two sons, two daughters-in-law, two grandsons, and two granddaughter-in-laws, all of whom meet the recruitment requirements of the Shen family workshop. To be able to go all...
The village chief was excited for a moment, but quickly gave up the idea.
We still have land at home, and we raise a lot of livestock and the like.
The land outside and the livestock at home all need people to take care of them.
Although their family has gotten a lot of bean dregs from the Shen family's workshop these days, they still have to take care of their livestock.
However, you can’t go to them all, you can always go to just a few...
"Girl, tell me, how many more people do you need to hire for your workshop?" the village chief asked Shen Shuangshuang.
Shen Shuangshuang smiled.
"We need five or six for the time being. But if someone from your uncle's family wants to come, they can do as many as they want." He said cheerfully.
"Hahahaha..." The village chief was amused.
He smoothed his beard, stopped smiling, and then looked at Shen Shuangshuang seriously.
"Your cousin really doesn't have much work to do these days. Let's do this. When they come back, I'll ask their opinions. If they are willing, let them find you."
Shen Shuangshuang smiled and nodded.
"When the time comes, just ask my family to take care of things. Now, Uncle Wu is in charge of everything in the workshop." He said, pointing to Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu quickly saluted the village chief and expressed that he would take care of the village chief's family.
This was not the first time the village chief had met Uncle Wu, and he had already known that Uncle Wu was a servant bought by the Shen family and was helping Shen Shuangshuang run the workshop.
He did not dare to look down upon this person.
So, the village chief returned the gift to Uncle Wu and said a few words of thanks.
With the village chief's family members wanting to join the workshop, Shen Shuangshuang's affairs would be much easier to handle.
The village chief directly sold the large piece of wasteland outside the Shen Family Courtyard to Shen Shuangshuang for a workshop at a low price of fifteen taels.
Moreover, Shen Shuangshuang made an appointment to go to the Yamen to register and file tomorrow.
There was also a matter of asking the villagers to help with land preparation and demolishing walls. The village chief also agreed and said that he would find someone on Shen Shuangshuang's behalf.
Early tomorrow morning, the people she wants will be able to gather outside the Shen Family Courtyard.
In addition, to help pull the ox carts for stone materials, one was brought directly from the village chief's house, and the other Shen Shuangshuang could hire directly from the villagers.
Shen Shuangshuang had hired an oxcart from the villagers before, and the matter was not difficult to handle.
After some discussion, the preparation work was almost completed.
After the conversation, Shen Shuangshuang did not stay at the village chief's house longer and left quickly.
The village chief personally sent the master and servant out of the house, with such enthusiasm that Shen Shuangshuang was not used to it.
As soon as the master and servant went out, the village chief turned back and saw the eldest daughter-in-law who was eavesdropping from the kitchen door.
The village chief's face immediately became serious.
Zhou was not afraid, but bravely came forward to meet him.
"Dad, I just heard Manager Wu say that if you go to work in the workshop, you can earn a hundred yuan a day?" He said with a slightly exaggerated expression.
The village chief glanced at Mr. Zhou displeased.
But he nodded.
"Go and call the boss and the second brother here, and tell them that I have something to do with them." He said in a deep voice.
Realizing something, Mr. Zhou looked happy.
"Okay, dad! I'm going to shout!" After saying that, Feng Feng Huo Huo ran out.
The village chief frowned and wanted to call the person to stop, but did not speak.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhou called her husband and brother-in-law back.
The two came to the main room and listened to their father's instructions.
The village chief glanced at the two and told them about Shen Shuangshuang's arrival.
"I have promised Shuangshuang girl to help her find someone to prepare the land, demolish walls and so on."
"Both of you, as well as Da Lang and Erlang below, go!"
"Boss, take the family's oxcart and help the Shen family pull stones and materials from the town. Everyone else, go and help prepare the land."
"When this matter is over, four more people from our family will come to work in the Shen family's workshop."
The two sons of the village chief looked at each other, both a little excited.
"Only four people are going?" the eldest son asked stutteringly.
One hundred wages a day is much better than working in the fields.
The second son also looked at the village chief nervously.
"It only takes five or six people. It's hard for our family to occupy all the people."
"Also, someone has to do the work at home and in the fields," the village chief said.
Two sons, you look at me and I look at you, I think my father is right. I feel a little pity again.
"Dad, which four people are you going to let go?" the eldest son asked again.
The village chief frowned.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Two from the first bedroom and two from the second bedroom."
The two brothers looked at each other again and nodded respectively.
A complex look flashed across the second son's face.
After a while, he still couldn't hold it back and spoke.
"If the Shen family buys such a large piece of land to expand their workshop, they should need more than five or six people."
"Let mom and Da Nier take care of the work at home. I should be able to take care of it."
"We don't have to worry about the land in this winter. As long as everyone in our family meets the age requirements, can't we all go to the workshop?"
"The salary of one hundred silver a day is three taels of silver a month. If all eight people go, that's twenty-four taels!"
