After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 85 Hiring People
The starry sky in Gujia Village is beautiful.

The bright stars are dotted in the night sky, and the moonlight shines on the earth without hesitation. Even at night, you can see the road ahead clearly.

Gu Qing asked Gu Yu and Gu Nuo to release the news about their employment. The two children quickly told a group of children. After a while, people from the entire Gu family village gathered at the door of Gu Qing's house. .

The soap workshop, the house has been built, a total of eight rooms, the largest of which is a warehouse, and the others are workshops.

The first room is used to boil lard and produce plant ash.

The burned plant ash is transported to the second room for filtration.

Then it is sent to the third room for high-temperature cooking, and when the concentration of lye reaches the standard, it is sent to the fourth room.

This fourth room is made a little more closed, and only one can enter it by oneself, because the most critical step of the formula is here.

The fifth room is used to add fragrance types. Three types of fragrances are tentatively determined, namely flower fragrance, milk fragrance and honey fragrance, which are divided into three workbenches to complete.

In the sixth room, there are one hundred molds, which are specially used for forming and solidifying.

Finally, it is sent to the seventh house for packaging and storage.

Gu Qing checked everything in each house, and then began to recruit workers.

People in the village have long known that there will be recruitment here. As soon as she said this, countless people came to sign up, including men, women, and children. Everyone didn't know what they were doing.

Now the farm work in the field mainly consists of watering and weeding, which can be left to the children. Adults like them have to find ways to make more money.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to me." Gu Qing said at the top of his voice, "Because this business has just started, a dozen or so people are enough. Those who are not selected don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future."

Everyone in the village nodded.

Basically, the whole village has earned a few taels of silver from Gu Qing. At the beginning, they bought mushrooms, and later helped build workshops. These days, they built fences and cowsheds. Every household has made some money, ranging from four or five taels to as many as ten taels of silver.

No one dared to offend Gu Qing, if he didn't bring himself to make money, there would be nowhere to cry.

Gu Qing asked Mo Li to record the people who signed up. A total of more than 130 people signed up. If she didn't say that, there would be more people who signed up.

For those who boil lard, she chose two strong women. This is delicate work, so let the women feel at ease.

She chose two teenage girls to filter plant ashes. Young girls have good eyesight and are suitable for this job.

Cooking plant ash at high temperature requires stirring for nearly an hour from start to finish. This is a laborious job. She found four strong men, and the four of them took turns to stir.

The fourth process is to add alcohol, which must be stirred after adding, and four men are also needed here.

Adding fragrance is not a laborious task, just find three women.

Then, it is poured into a mold to set and solidify. A hundred soaps can be solidified at a time, and one woman can complete it.

In the last step of packaging, Gu Qing was also looking for a little girl.

This is a total of seventeen people.

She asked Mo Li to write out the list and post it at the school gate.

Those who were selected were so happy that they didn't know what to say, and some of them had never even dealt with Gu Qing.

In fact, Gu Qing also had her own thoughts on selecting candidates.

The selections are basically people who are not familiar with each other. There are six or seven processes, and it is necessary to combine six or seven people who are not familiar with each other to know a general production process.

Although the most critical step is completed by her, if the basic production process is leaked, it is inevitable that some businessmen will imitate it and study it, and then there will be a lot of troubles.

After the selection of the people in the workshop, the remaining tens of thousands of flower seedlings will be easy to deal with. No matter who it is, they will be given three pennies for each flower seedling, and how many copper coins for the number of flower seedlings planted. , you have to grab it.

Early the next morning.

The little brother from the mall drove dozens of carriages into the village, and the carts were full of flower seedlings, and there were more than a dozen little brothers from the mall driving over eighty cows behind them.

Fortunately, Gu Qing had already assigned all the work, and Yang Pei was responsible for planting the [-]-acre flower garden.

The eighty cows were handed over to Mo Li, and he was asked to hand over to the old house. There were more cows, and Gu Qing gave a lot of money. Gu Qing gave the old house 15 taels of salary for one month of herding the cows for milking. Yin Zi, even Mrs. Sun, who was always talkative, was stunned.

And Gu Qing is in charge of the soap workshop.

The seventeen people selected in the village gathered at the gate of the soap workshop early.

"Before the official start of work, I will put my ugly words in front." Gu Qing said softly, "What have you been doing here all day and how to do it, you just need to know these things yourself, and you are not allowed to tell anyone else."

The 17 people nodded one after another: "That's natural, not even the kids at home!"

"I asked someone to write the contract." Gu Qing held seventeen pieces of paper in his hand, "If you violate the contract, you need to pay at least 100 taels of silver. If you think there is no problem, you can draw a pledge."

100 taels of silver... This is an astronomical figure for the villagers.

17 people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Jin Huaniang was the first to go out: "I'm a tight-lipped person, and I won't tell anyone who asks, I'll bet!"

Aunt Xu also stood up: "I'm a woman, I don't understand anything, and I won't tell anyone."

There were two people who took the lead, and others also came to draw bets.

They knew in their hearts that if this profitable business was leaked out, Mrs. Gu would definitely lose money.

If Mrs. Gu can't make money, then they have no way to make money.

Gu Qing put away the dozen or so contracts.

In fact, this contract is a bit unequal, the monthly salary is only so little, and people pay 100 taels of silver. If it is placed in modern times, her contract is equivalent to the overlord clause, which is not supported by the court.

But in ancient times, as long as the painting is signed, it will take effect.

She was domineering for a while, so she naturally wanted to give a sweet date.

Gu Qing smiled and said: "Then let me talk about the wages. The wages of women and girls are [-] Wen a month, and men are [-] Wen a month. Come here at the hour of the morning and rest for half an hour at noon. Finish work at the end of the afternoon application time, and work every six days off."

Gu He's mother rubbed her hands, and boldly asked, "What does it mean to do six rest?"

"Just work for six days and rest for one day." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Everyone has children at home and has trivial matters, so you can't just spend all day in my workshop, but I don't provide meals here, you can eat by yourself solve."

Hearing her words, everyone was stunned.

After six days of work and one day off, is there such a good thing in the world? !

People in their village have no time to rest throughout the year. Even if it is slack, there are a lot of messy things. No one will really lie at home and do nothing, of course, except for lazy people.

Wang Yuanwai in the county is considered a very kind person, working for Wang Yuanwai, he can take one day off a month, which is praised by countless people in the county.

But now, Mrs. Gu actually let them rest four days a month!
After four days of rest, you can still get close to one tael of silver, which is simply a blessing in disguise!
Such a good thing happened to them. This is a good thing that they dare not even think about. Everyone is gearing up and preparing to do a big job!
