After taking a gulp of tea, she took a breath and said, "Miss, some shops outside have begun to do roasted chestnuts, roasted pine nuts, and peanuts."
"Oh, please order someone to buy a copy."
It is normal for some people to imitate, as long as there is healthy competition. It is estimated that they haven't figured out snacks such as fish balls, pork breasts, crispy green plums, and strange-flavored peanuts that are relatively complicated to make. She just wants to come up with something simpler to make, but she is not afraid. The snacks she makes are of high quality and taste great, so she is not afraid of not being able to sell them.
After buying the snacks, the master and the servant began to taste them.
After the maid Qiu Yu took a bite of the sugar-fried chestnut, she complained: "This chestnut is burnt, and it has a bitter taste. It's too sweet and not delicious."
Su Lele also took a bite: "I guess there was too much sugar and the heat was not well controlled."
Then the two of them tasted others. The pine nuts were not fried fragrant enough and some were not opened yet. The shelled peanuts were only salty and not crispy enough. The peanuts were only spicy and not crispy enough.
Su Lele looked at Qiu Yu, who used to have a sad face but was now cheerful: "Are you still worried now? Do you have so little confidence in your young lady?"
The maid Qiu Yu flattered her young lady: "I have always had confidence in my young lady. This is not because I am afraid that they will come up with some bad ideas."
In the evening, Leng Yichen returned to the palace and went straight to Yanyu Pavilion.
"I heard from the housekeeper that some shops outside are starting to fry chestnuts and pine nuts."
I saw Su Lele smiling: "It's okay, I've tasted them all, and they don't taste as good as the ones I made."
The maid Qiu Yu echoed: "The princess is too humble. What they do is not as powerful as the five powers of the princess."
Seeing her confident look, Leng Yichen didn't say any more on this topic.
"After all the ministers tasted the vermicelli, they were all full of praise. I plan to use the money earned from the workshop to build dams, roads, disaster relief and other livelihood projects. I also plan to tell the farmers how to make sweet potato cakes and dried sweet potatoes. You won’t have any objections.”
He was worried that telling the farmer how to make dried sweet potatoes would affect her subsequent opening of a workshop to do sweet potato business.
"No, Dayun Country is so big. As long as I control the quality of the dried sweet potatoes, I won't be afraid of not being able to sell them. And the making of dried sweet potatoes is simple. As long as they are willing to use their brains, it won't take long for them to learn it. What do you do? The approach is very good and allows the farmers to feel the royal family’s care for them.”
Su Lele has no intention of being dominant by one person. Competition will only give him more motivation.
"Also, I don't have manpower in Liangzhou, so I can only rely on your people to help me find people to build workshops and recruit people. But I will pay the money, and I will donate 50% of the money I earn. To improve people’s livelihood.”
"Okay, I will order someone to take care of this matter. Thank you for everything you have done for the people."
"My pleasure."
"I'm hungry, let's go eat quickly."
After Su Lele finished speaking, she took him and strode toward the dining room.
At about o'clock on the second day, Su Lele took Xu Sen, Dong Siman and the other six people on a carriage and headed to the workshop.
The workshop is almost completed, and Su Lele plans to recruit workers today. Calling the six of them, in addition to helping, also allowed the farmers who came to work to get to know the stewards and accountants in the workshop in advance.
At this time, many people gathered on the wasteland next to the workshop. Most of them are young people, but there are also young and old. There are also many married women, and there are also unmarried young women, but not many. The person who came to the village last time told me that unmarried women can also apply for jobs, but it is difficult to change the traditional thinking of farmers.
"Hey, Brother Li Qing, aren't you working in Pingzhou Fucheng? Why are you here for an interview?"
Li Qing smiled: "Last time I came back, I heard from my dad that this snack shop was recruiting people. Then I came here again to inquire about it carefully. After careful consideration, I quit my job and came here for an interview."
Although this approach is a bit risky, he has no regrets. The snack workshop is not only close to home, but also very close to the capital. His child is only over one year old, and he wants to spend more time with him.
A young man next to him heard their conversation: "I heard that many people working outside have taken leave to come back for interviews. Who doesn't want to find a job that is close to home and pays well?"
"Yes, it seems the competition is quite fierce."
A quarter of an hour later, Su Lele and his party arrived at the workshop. After she got off the carriage, she saw groups of people in groups of three or three gathered around and talking, which was very lively.
Su Lele winked at Su Xiaoxiang, and he understood instantly.
"Everyone, please be quiet and follow my instructions. Men line up in twenty lines, and women line up in ten lines."
Then everyone lined up obediently.
Su Lele began to talk:
"Everyone who comes to interview, please tell the steward or accountant you are interviewing one by one during the interview: your name, age, address, skills, and your previous job or current position."
Someone in the crowd boldly asked: "What is a skill?"
"For example, I can learn calligraphy, cook, do carpentry, embroidery, etc."
Before coming to the workshop, Su Lele had already given several stewards and accountants a detailed explanation of the recruitment process and the key points to focus on when recruiting people. We don’t necessarily only recruit young people, those with cooking-related experience, those who can learn calligraphy, and those who are good at carpentry or embroidery, which require patience or dexterity, can be given priority.
"In addition, I would like to focus on the wages and benefits that everyone is more concerned about."
Everyone echoed: "Okay."
"Those who succeed in the interview today, the team leader, who is also the steward, will be paid two taels of silver per month; the others will be paid one tael, 500 silver coins per month, regardless of gender."
"We also give out snack gift packs to everyone every month, and give out money and snacks every holiday. People who come to work will also be given snacks or other gifts on their birthdays every year. Those who are far away from home can stay in the dormitory of the workshop for free. Check in here. In addition, you can enjoy free lunch, and if you work overtime, the dinner meal is also free."
"But if you want to get these benefits and benefits, everyone must work hard, not be lazy, and not talk too much. Whoever leaks the snack making process will not only be fined a high amount of silver, but also be sent to the government for processing."
"Those who are successful in the interview later will have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Those who don't agree with this approach can just leave now without forcing it."
After Su Lele finished speaking, most people agreed with her approach. Of course, there are a few people who are timid and have unclean hands and feet. They ran away when they heard that they had to sign a confidentiality agreement.
There were still hundreds of people waiting for interviews. Su Lele thought for a while:
"Xiao Xiang, go back to the palace immediately and ask the housekeeper to bring some people to help recruit people."
"Okay, little one, let's go."
Fortunately, the housekeeper brought a group of people over to help. Su Lele and the others were busy until the evening before the interviews were completed, and a total of 250 people were recruited.
While he was busy recruiting people, Su Lele also visited the workshop that was about to be completed. After carefully looking at the stoves, ovens and other facilities inside, he gave Su Xiaozhi some rectification suggestions and asked the workers to improve them.
Su Lele, who was exhausted, strode to the dining hall after returning to the palace. She just heard a servant come to tell her that the prince was waiting for her to eat in the dining hall.
