Back at the workshop, Shen Shuangshuang asked Uncle Wu for some instructions, and then returned to Shangyang Town.
The affairs in the village were left to Uncle Wu, and she had to arrange the affairs in the town.
After returning to the town, Shen Shuangshuang did not go home immediately, but went to the carpenter's workshop first.
The workshop needs to be expanded and the manpower needs to be increased. Whether it's a tofu frame, a wooden basin, a bucket, etc., they all have to be added.
Especially for tofu frames, as the production of tofu increases, the demand will increase a lot.
Shopkeeper Li had sold a lot of wood products to Shen Shuangshuang in succession. He was very happy to see Shen Shuangshuang come to his door again, and this time he ordered several times more than before.
"You should have some wooden basins and barrels in stock here. You can give me some first."
"I need the tofu frame urgently, and I hope you can ask your craftsmen to rush in and make a batch for me first."
The production of tofu frame is relatively simple, just splice and bind some ready-made boards.
The carpenter's shop is catching up a little bit, and she should be able to get the goods soon.
"Sure! I'll have them do it for you later." Shopkeeper Li readily agreed.
"In addition, in addition to the tofu frame, there are also wooden barrels and tubs, the three types of boxes I asked for before. You can also pack some more for me."
"The small one will be one hundred, and the large dark and light ones will be two hundred each." Shen Shuangshuang paused.
"First of all, after you finish delivering this batch of goods, I will increase it as appropriate according to the situation."
Yes, her original intention was to order more kitchen utensils and boxes.
But there will be many places to spend money next, so she can only take it easy for the time being.
"Sure! I will definitely ask them to prepare the goods for you as soon as possible!" Shopkeeper Li said with a smile.
After saying that, he invited Shen Shuangshuang to settle the accounts and then collect the deposit.
After coming out of the carpentry workshop, Shen Shuangshuang went to find Master Liu again.
Master Liu and Shen Shuangshuang are also old friends.
The Shen Shuangshuang family has always turned to Master Liu whether it was making a kang, building a stove or building walls.
This time to expand the workshop, Shen Shuangshuang was also planning to find him.
Master Liu was surprised and pleasantly surprised when he heard that Shen Shuangshuang's project was so big this time.
He agreed immediately and said that work could start tomorrow.
In terms of wages, Master Liu considered Shen Shuangshuang a little cheaper.
This is mainly because Shen Shuangshuang's job is enough for them to do for a long time, and in the middle of winter, they rarely get jobs.
"Then I'll order the stones and materials right now. I'll bring them back later."
"You will start construction tomorrow morning. There shouldn't be any big problems."
This time she planned two oxcarts to pull bricks and stones, and the mule cart could occasionally carry a cart. Master Liu and the others could keep up even if they were working while pulling materials. The subsequent materials should be ready in advance.
Of course, Master Liu has to do the math to know exactly how many materials are needed.
"Yes!" Master Liu agreed.
Shen Shuangshuang quickly said goodbye.
I went back home and asked Mr. Shen to go to the porcelain shop.
The family has been selling fermented bean curd for a long time, so there is a huge demand for jars.
The porcelain shop she now works with has its own kiln behind it.
The other party attached great importance to her as a big customer and offered a very good price.
This time the Yin family merchant ship gave her such a big order, so she had to start booking the jars in advance.
As for my mother-in-law, she can also order the medicine bottles she makes from the china shop.
Once the pills are made, store them together first, and then pack them separately when the pill bottles come out.
Shen was very happy, tidied up a little, and went out with Shen Shuangshuang.
After arriving at the porcelain store, I saw my daughter-in-law chatting with the shopkeeper familiarly and easily setting the price. I admired my daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, women from that world can do very well.
When my sister started selling body lotion, she bargained with the china shopkeeper in the same way.
Shen Shuangshuang didn't know what Shen was thinking, so she ordered the goods, paid the deposit, and left with her mother-in-law.
On the way back, I took my mother-in-law to a cloth workshop and bought a batch of gauze that would be used in the workshop.
And I went to the grocery store I always cooperated with and ordered a batch of oil paper.
On the way back, Mrs. Shen asked about the situation of Shen Shuangshuang's workshop.
Shen Shuangshuang explained the situation.
"Mom, please go home first, I'll go to Yaxing." When they came to an intersection, Shen Shuangshuang said to Mrs. Shen.
"Why are you going to the dental shop?" asked Shen nervously. I was afraid that Shen Shuangshuang would go shopping again.
Shen Shuangshuang reached out and patted the back of Shen's hand.
"Go hire someone."
"Next, the workshop will produce more tofu, and I have to go out from time to time to buy goods or deal with other situations. Wu Xia is the only one at home making bean curd, which is too busy."
After saying that, Shen Shuangshuang was ready to leave.
But he was pulled back by Shen.
"Hey, don't worry yet!" Ms. Shen grabbed the person.
"There is no need to go to the dental shop to hire someone. Didn't your sister-in-law Fang introduce her niece before? There is also the Liu family next door. Old Mrs. Liu met me before and asked if our family needed any help."
"Making fermented bean curd is not difficult. The most important thing is the ingredients." Speaking of this, Mrs. Shen moved closer to Shen Shuangshuang.
He lowered his voice before continuing: "Chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns come from your space. We have ground them in advance. Even if outsiders come into contact with them, they won't know what they are."
"In my opinion, you don't need to hire long-term workers. Just hire two people to do odd jobs. The wages will be paid every day."
"When you're busy, call them over. If you're not busy, we can do it ourselves!"
“There are also jobs such as paper cutting and packaging at home, and you can also find odd jobs.”
After hearing this, Shen Shuangshuang felt a little moved.
"This... part-time jobs are not that easy to find." Who would be willing to do part-time jobs if they could find a long-term job?
"What's so difficult about this?" Shen asked.
"Just in Shenshui Alley, there are many girls who do embroidery work at home to support their families."
"They have to take care of the family and it's hard for them to go out and look for work."
"Besides, why is it so easy for you to find a job outside?"
"Our family is going to spread the news about recruiting part-time workers. Believe it or not, there will be a lot of girls coming."
Shen Shuangshuang looked at Shen's confident expression, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
"Mom, will you arrange the recruitment of odd jobs?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Shen agreed happily.
"I'll call you two tomorrow!"
The twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month.
The Shen family began to expand the workshop, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.
During the past six days, if anyone wanted to say which house in Dahe Village was the busiest, it would definitely be the Shen family.
This time the Shen family expanded their workshop and invited many young people from the village to help, and they were paid more.
When there are more people and they all work in the Shen family, many secrets of the Shen family cannot be hidden.
For example, the Shen family's workshop is very large, and people from the Wang family and the Li family's main room have been working for the Shen family.
For another example, the Shen family also bought a yard in the town to serve people.
He even opened a shop!
The Shen family has actually become prosperous!
At the moment, the Shen family still thinks the workshop is too small and wants to expand it.
Moreover, it has been greatly expanded, and dozens of stoves have to be added. (End of chapter)
