Chapter 116 Employee Benefits Package

Song Qingyue tossed about Zhuangzi, and time soon entered the twelfth lunar month.

The earth dragons under the cattle house, sheep house, and chicken house started to burn fires to keep warm. Fortunately, coal is produced on the farm now, and the cost of getting some cinders to burn is much less than last year, and there is no need to use cow dung for fire. Save it as fertilizer for next year.

Originally, Song Qingyue thought that it would be warm in the cattle and sheep shed. Maybe she could build a shelf in the cattle and sheep shed and use clay pots to grow vegetables. Unfortunately, the problem of light source can’t be solved. Let’s build a glass greenhouse. Such a luxurious facility, it’s better to go back to the capital and live in it. It was built in the Song Mansion.

Just do what you say, anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, and it's time to go home.

Last year, Lord Song asked Song Quan to set up a glass factory in the suburbs of Beijing, but the natural sand and sea sand used to make glass were shipped all the way from the south, and the price was much higher than in the south.

Song Qingyue was very depressed. She used to want to eat fruit in Lingnan, and she could eat whatever she wanted. There were also various green vegetables available in winter. Now that she is in the north, she has also become a member of the family holding canned fruits as treasures. Wanting to eat green vegetables is even more important. There are no doors, only Chinese cabbage, sour cabbage, and because of the popularity of chili in recent years, there is another spicy kimchi.

Anyway, eating cabbage and cabbage all the time makes people want to cry.In this era of the previous life, there were frozen pears and frozen persimmons in the Northeast!There is no such thing in this era.

The capital area is not bad, but beyond the boundaries of the capital, the quality of life of ordinary people in rural areas is really not very good.

Song Qingyue's heart twitched when she thought of the children working in the factory.When they first arrived, nearly half were night blind due to malnutrition.

She thought, it is better to set up more factories, do more farming, give people more opportunities to make money, and provide them with more ways to make a living.

This year, the people in the south really gave her some surprises, and even made some new things. In the south of the Lingnan, there are small cucumbers with thick skin, astringent taste and low water content. The locals don't like to eat them, and few people grow them.But after being made into kimchi by an employee of the canning factory, it is sour, crunchy and delicious, especially delicious.

This kind of kimchi also seems to be suitable for canning.

So this year, the cans sent from the south included a lot of sour canned pickles. Canned sour beans, pickled cucumbers, and sour radishes appeared on Song Qingyue's table.This really adds some joy to the winter in the north.

After returning to Beijing from Baoding, Mrs. Liang smiled and said that Song Qingyue had grown a lot taller and had become more plump, so she called the people from the sewing room in the mansion to make new clothes for Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue felt that it was a waste. Her clothes were made of excellent materials. In autumn and winter, they were basically decorated with silk satin, and in spring and summer, they were made of beautifully embroidered silk or satin of various colors. Concubine, probably all the clothes have to be made according to the specifications of Shizi Concubine again, and the palace even specially sent someone over to measure for her.

The clothes of this era are basically Ming style, and they are quite roomy, even if she grows taller and develops, she will not look small.

But Mrs. Liang said that new clothes should be worn during the New Year, and she insisted on making two new winter clothes and four new spring clothes for Song Qingyue.

The materials are so exquisite that Song Qingyue feels that she wears cultural relics on her body every day, and she feels an inexplicable sense of guilt, which is too extravagant.

Compared with the nameless luxury brands in Europe and the United States in the later generations, which were shaped by packaging and marketing stories, this kind of luxury is a luxury piled up with real labor hours and extremely superb skills.

And since her father came to Beijing and became a second-rank heavenly official, she has six brand new Kesi or Shu brocade clothes every year. Sometimes she is reluctant to wear them, not because she can't afford the money, but because if I feel sorry for the weaving craftsmen if I accidentally get it dirty or stained.

Chinese New Year is the busiest time for the Song family.

This year the mansion lost the elder sister and the second elder sister, so Song Qingyue had to take on the responsibility of the Liang family's helper, and take care of the banquet during the Chinese New Year, as well as the New Year's ceremonies with various families in the capital.

For example, before the New Year, it is necessary to do a good job in the employee motivation meeting and distribute the employee welfare gift package.

Since Mr. Song is a rising star in the capital, and he was a poor man before he got married, the Song family currently has a relatively good shop in the capital, and the relatively fertile land near the capital is the dowry of the Liang family. The heads are basically the Liang family.

However, Liang's money has become more abundant in recent years, and even the employees of the Zhuangzi can enjoy the New Year's gift packages from the people of the Song Mansion.

This Chinese New Year gift package is quite realistic for people of this age, like this year there is a bag of rice, a piece of bacon, and two big bags of charcoal.

Last year it was two bolts of cotton cloth for one person, but this year it was replaced by charcoal.

The reason is that the Liang family hoarded the charcoal in the summer when the price of charcoal was low. As a result, this year, because Sanyatou dug out the coal mine, it was no longer needed.

Because the current Song Mansion was originally a royal mansion, the masters had earth dragons in their houses, so it didn't matter much to burn coal with smoke, but the servants didn't have earth dragons in their houses, so they could only rely on charcoal basins for heating.

However, the supply of charcoal fire to the servants is not unlimited, there are regulations.

There are always some charcoal fires that are not enough, and when it is going to be cold, not to mention the farmers on the village and the guys in the shop, now that charcoal is distributed, everyone can have a warm winter.

For Song Qingyue, this was proper pre-marriage training.

Song Qingyue carried a palm-sized notepad and a homemade pencil with her, like Liang's follower, taking notes while learning. to teach Song Qingyue.

For example, the choice of tableware for a banquet should be both festive and different from previous years. Last year, the tableware that bloomed in four seasons was used, but this year it will be replaced with rich peonies; There is particularity, in addition to the orderly seniority and the size of the official position, the host also requires the host to know his guests very well, such as who is close to whom in the capital, and who has grudges with whom, so pay attention when arranging seats with.

The exchange of annual gifts is also very particular. For example, the annual gifts between officials at the same level must be of equal value. The things that come up from the following filial piety, which ones can be received and which ones cannot be received, and some of them need to be decided by Mr. Song .

The most common thing during the Chinese New Year is "Carbon Respect", but this year probably because Song Qingyue dug out a coal mine. In previous years, charcoal was sent, but this year many of them were changed to ink sticks for calligraphy and painting. For a while, there were all kinds of ink ingots in Mr. Song's study Heaped up into hills.

Song Qingyue felt that these exquisitely carved ink ingots were enough for an exhibition.

Then all parties in the government will make new clothes for the new year, and the sewing room will buy them. Who are the suppliers, what are the prices, how much money can people make from them under normal circumstances, and what kind of people are arranged to do things. Qiao, Liang told Song Qingyue one by one.

The preparations for the New Year must start from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, so as to basically ensure that there will be no mistakes, but no matter how well the preparations are made, various accidents and problems will still occur when the time comes.
