Chapter 165

Gu Jinli said: "Aunt Tian, ​​the reason I propose to hire someone is not only that everyone is too tired, but also to make our family more profitable."

"We have a small number of people. Even if we keep working, we can make at most [-] catties of tofu a day. If we hire someone to grind the beans and order the tofu ourselves, the speed will be much faster. It is no problem to make [-] catties of tofu a day." .The more this tofu is made, the more we earn."

"There are also seasonings and spices. Grinding spices is a very labor-intensive job. Grandma Yan and the others can grind more than ten catties a day, which is not enough to sell. If you ask someone to help, don't say more than ten catties a day, forty or fifty catties are enough." It can be ground out."

"This seasoning is different from tofu. It can be kept for a year. Let's order a batch of clay pots, sell them to others, and have them transport them to other places for sale. This can make a lot of money."

Compared with tofu, she is more optimistic about seasoning and spices, this is the business that can grow big and long.

Gu Jinli quickly made a calculation for everyone: "If we can make three thousand catties of tofu and fifty catties of seasonings a day, we can earn at least 50 taels of silver a day."

"I can earn 50 taels of silver a day!" Several family members were shocked.

"That's right, you can indeed earn so much." Gu Jinli looked at Aunt Tian and said, "Aunt Tian, ​​you don't have to worry about the wages, we can earn dozens of taels more for a day's wages of two taels of silver, which is very worthwhile. "

After hearing this, several families no longer cared about the wages, and agreed to hire someone: "Then what are we waiting for, let's hire someone quickly."

However, Gu Dafu was a little worried: "If you ask someone to grind the beans, don't everyone know that tofu is made of soybeans? If someone makes a mess and puts something in the soy milk, what will happen to our tofu? There are also seasonings, Ask people to grind the spices, they will know the types of spices, and then our prescription will be released.”

What Gu Dafu said was exactly what the family was worried about.

Gu Jinli had already thought of a way, and said with a smile: "Even if they know that tofu is made from soybeans, they still can't make tofu. If you want to make tofu, the marinade is the key. As long as we get the marinade in Hands, they can't make tofu."

"The same goes for seasoning and spices. As long as they don't know the ratio of blending, they will never try to make spices that taste delicious. They will only make spices that are very strong and difficult to swallow."

The raw materials of the spices are very strong, and they need to be blended in a certain proportion to neutralize the taste and become delicious.

"As for worrying that people will put something in the spices and soy milk, we can sign a contract with the workers and implement a continuous sitting system. If there is a problem with the tofu and seasonings, all the workers will compensate us for the loss. Seriously, We can also send them to officials for investigation, and no one can escape."

This is indeed a good idea, but...

"Will it be too cruel?" It was Mrs. Chen who said this, and even she said that, and the family felt that this method was a bit too much.

Gu Jinli shook his head: "It's not ruthless at all, only those who work together will have scruples. Otherwise, someone will deliberately make a bad move, and then push the matter to another person, our tofu and spices will still have problems."

What she wants to ensure is that no one dares to touch tofu and spices, so sitting is the best way. In order to protect themselves, the workers will automatically supervise other people.

After listening to her words, the family members were silent for a while, nodded and said: "Xiaoyu said yes, let's do it like this."

"How do you pay them? How much do you have to give them a month?" Mrs. Chen is most concerned about money, and if she pays too much, she will feel pained to death.

Gu Jinli said: "It's not calculated on a monthly basis, but on a catty basis. If you grind a catty of soybeans and filter them, you will be given one cent. As for seasonings and spices, you will be given twenty cents per catty for those that are easy to grind, and eighty cents per catty for those that are difficult to grind." .”

This is more pay for more work. If you give monthly money, the workers will inevitably learn to work hard.

After hearing this, the family members all felt that it would be better to calculate by the catty, and they all nodded in agreement.

As for the matter of inviting someone, I left it to the third grandfather and Gu Dashan.

The third grandfather is old-fashioned, while Gu Dashan needs to be tempered. Now the third grandfather is taking Gu Dashan with him, teaching him everything that the old man has not taught Gu Dashan.

The third grandfather said: "He Laoguo and the others can clear up all the wasteland tomorrow. Let's see if they can do this job. If they do, it's better to invite them."

He Laoguo opened up wasteland for several of them, and they did a good job, and they were all honest and responsible people.

"If they are invited, but there are still not enough people, I will talk to Village Chief He and ask him to help recruit people. If he comes forward, the He family will be more afraid, and they can have a good relationship with him."

Although Village Chief He treated them badly when they first came to the village, it is still necessary for their family to live in the village and get on better with the village chief.

After talking about inviting people, it was already dark, and the family got up and went home.

Today, the third grandma was very happy when she learned that she had earned so much money, and went to the backyard to catch a pheasant, and wanted to kill it to reward everyone.

Gu Jinli saw it, and deliberately smiled and asked, "Third Grandma, didn't you say that you want to keep the pheasant to lay eggs and nest?"

After arriving in Dafeng Village, they went into the mountains a few times and caught some pheasants, but the third grandma was reluctant to eat them and said they would keep them for raising, and they raised them to lay eggs and brood.

The third grandma knew that she was asking on purpose, so she glanced at her and said, "You still dare to tease the old woman, are you so picky about your third grandma? Naturally, I am willing to give it to you when I make money."

As he spoke, he carried the pheasant to the kitchen, and quickly killed the pheasant. Half of it was used for stewing soup, and the other half was used for braised in soy sauce.

That night, their family drank delicious chicken soup and ate delicious braised chicken.

The next day, He Laoguo and the others went to work to open up wasteland. As usual, they first went to Gu Jinli's house to say hello to Third Grandpa and the others.

In the past, when I went to work in the town, I had to tell the master every day when I went to work. This was the rule.Although they are working in the village now, they still stick to the rules.

The third grandpa was waiting for them, and when he saw them coming, he stopped them and told them that he needed someone to grind beans and spices.

He Laoguo and the others were worried that there would be no work after opening the wasteland, so they were naturally happy to hear this, but they were completely shocked when they asked about the wages.

"Gu, Brother Gu, how much do you pay for grinding a catty of soybeans?" He Laoguo asked with his cloudy eyes wide open, staring at the third grandfather, holding the third grandfather with his callused hands.

The third grandpa smiled and said, "Grind a catty of soybeans, filter them, and give me a penny."

"Hey, it's really a penny!" He Laoguo was so excited.He has seen Gu Dafu and the others work, grinding a catty of soybeans, and then straining them. It doesn't take long. After a day, one person can grind at least one hundred catties, which is worth one hundred Wen.After a month, you can get three taels of silver, three taels of silver, He Laoguo is going crazy with joy.

He Shengzi was listening beside him, and he took the lead in saying, "Grandpa Gu, the four of us will do this work."

His family was extremely poor, not only had to support his younger sister, but also his elderly and frail grandparents.He is also sixteen, and at the age of marriage, if he does not give up his life to work, he will be a bachelor for the rest of his life.

"That's right, all four of us are responsible for this job." He Tugou said hurriedly, fearing that his job would be robbed.

The third grandfather said: "Don't be in a hurry, listen to me. Don't look at this job as making money, but if you want to do the work of our family, you have to sign a contract."

The third grandpa called Gu Jinan and asked him to read the contract written last night to them.
