After rebirth, she just wants to farm

Shopkeeper Wang doesn't know the relationship between Feng Manlou and Meng Qingning yet, but he only heard that Feng Manlou used the Doubanjiang made with Luyang sauce and attracted a lot of business.

Meng Qingning knew that Song Zhao's propaganda had an effect.

"You should be talking about Doubanjiang."

"That's right." Shopkeeper Wang beamed, "Your sauce is amazing, even restaurants in Pingchuan County are discussing it now."

Meng Qingning was dumbfounded. She didn't expect the effect to be so good.

She put the sauce in Fengmanlou and came back. She was busy developing hot pot base ingredients recently and didn't bother to ask Song Zhao.

"How much do you want to order this time?"

The process of making doubanjiang was cumbersome. After the first batch was made, she sent some to Feng Manlou, and the rest was only about fifty cans.

The second batch has just been fermented and will take a few days to be ready.

"Our boss has a total of more than a dozen restaurants under his control. We want more this time. I wonder if you have the goods here?"

More than a dozen?
The boss among bosses.

Seeing that Meng Qingning didn't speak, shopkeeper Wang thought she was frightened and said slightly proudly, "We have the largest restaurant in Pingchuan County."

"Our boss plans to order a hundred cans of doubanjiang, and the other sauces will also come in fifty cans each."

Well, Meng Qingning was shocked again.

A full 250 cans.

Although I am happy, there are some things that I still need to explain clearly to the other party. "The production process of doubanjiang is complicated, and the price will naturally be higher. Do you think you can accept it?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked like he had a lot of money, "Price is not an issue."

"Well, you are also our regular customer. We will give you a [-]% discount on each jar of sauce."

"Shopkeeper Meng is a cheerful person." Shopkeeper Wang was ecstatic. He saved another sum of money. His boss will definitely be happy when he goes back.

"It's just that we only have about fifty cans of Doubanjiang here at the moment, and the rest will take two days to open. Please see if you can take away these fifty cans first, and I will send the rest to you in two days."

Shopkeeper Wang took a sip of tea and was somewhat thankful that he had arrived in time, otherwise he would have been overtaken by other restaurants.

"Okay, let's take away these fifty cans first." He thought for a while and then made a decision, "I will take charge of the rest and give fifty more cans when I deliver them."

It was only a matter of time before this sauce became popular, and he was afraid that other restaurants would get there first.

"That's good." Meng Qingning was overjoyed.

After this trip, I earned almost 50 taels.

Shopkeeper Wang was busy on his way and didn't stay much. Meng Qingning asked Zhou Lisheng to help load the goods into the carriage and loaded them into two cars.

After seeing off Shopkeeper Wang, Meng Qingning called everyone together.

"We don't have enough manpower in the workshop right now and we must recruit more people as soon as possible."

Aunt Wang also discovered this problem, "Now that the orders are increasing, it will definitely not be enough for us to cook the sauce alone."

Moreover, after the hot pot restaurant opens, they will have to send manpower to the county seat.

"Let's recruit ten sauce-making workers first." Meng Qingning made the decision immediately.

"Is ten too many?" Wang asked.

Meng Qingning shook her head, "Not many, we still need to recruit a few more delivery workers."

"Brother Zhou will be solely responsible for recruiting workers. Try to find workers in the workshop who can work quickly, and those who deliver goods need to be strong."

Zhou Liwen quickly agreed. He knew in his heart that Meng Qingning entrusted these matters to him because of her trust in him.

"Then starting from today, Brother Zhou's salary will increase to four taels of silver per month."

Zhou Liwen was completely stunned. Eighty taels a day was the highest salary in their town. Five taels a month was equivalent to double the salary.

He was a little frightened, "Boss, this is too high." "The wages are high for a reason. From now on, the delivery will be handed over to the newly recruited workers. You will be mainly responsible for managing the workers and shipping."

After spending time together, it is not difficult to find that Zhou Liwen is bold and careful. He also read a few books when he was a child, so it is not a problem to read and write.

"I will definitely live up to expectations." He agreed solemnly.

After this matter was settled, Meng Qingning thought of another question, "In addition, we have to recruit a bookkeeper."

She had always been in charge of the money before, and it was really beyond her capabilities.

"Then let's put up a notice. The most indispensable thing in this town is workers."

The world is tough nowadays, and finding a stable job is not easy.

"Don't worry, the workshop has hired so many people at once, and it is inconvenient to manage. I have formulated a management rule. Do you think there is anything that needs to be added?"

There are twenty regulations in total, which clearly stipulate workers' clothing and payment of wages.

The daily wage for workshop workers is sixty coins and that for delivery workers is seventy coins.

Such wages are rare in the whole town.

As for the clothes, Meng Qingning planned to make them all. What they were doing was eating, and hygiene was the most important thing. They also planned to make a batch of custom-made hats, so that hair could fall into them.

Everyone marveled at her attentiveness.

"When did you make this?"

Lu Qiyu happened to rush over at home, "My sister-in-law and I did these together." He looked like he was begging for praise, amusing everyone.

The original owner had never read the book, and Meng Qingning didn't want to be exposed, so the words were all written by Lu Qiyu.

Although this kid has only been reading for more than two months, he still knows a lot of words.

After the agreement was reached, they posted a notice recruiting workers directly at the door.

After a while, many people came over. Some of them didn't know how to read, so they came to ask directly. Zhou Liwen patiently explained to everyone.

When everyone heard that the wages were actually seventy cents, they were all stunned. Working in other places, the daily wages were at most forty cents.

The Luyang sauce was doubled.

"Of course we have requirements for recruiting workers. Delivery workers must be hard-working and willing to work without complaint. As for the sauce-cooking workers, they must sign an agreement with our employer to ensure that the sauce recipe is not leaked to others. Otherwise, a large amount of liquidated damages will be paid."

"Not only will we not get paid, but our employer may also lose a lot of money." When saying this, Zhou Lisheng deliberately increased his voice.

"Why do I come to your house to work if I don't get paid?" someone in the crowd booed.

Zhou Lisheng did not tolerate him at all, "How can you not get paid if you concentrate on your work, unless you have evil intentions."

"That's right, they said you have to pay liquidated damages for stealing the formula. Aren't you looking for trouble?" Someone in the crowd agreed.

Meng Qingning knew that their business was booming, so naturally many people were interested in their formula.
No one can guarantee that no scoundrels will take advantage of this recruitment.

Liquidated damages are only one part of it. In order to prevent the formula from being leaked, she also thought of other ways.

"Those who want to come to work, please line up now to sign up with us. There are only fifteen places, no waiting after the deadline." Zhou Liwen shouted in a loud voice.

When everyone heard that there were only fifteen places, they were all squeezed to get in.

"I, I, I..."

Zhou Liwen treated everyone equally and just glanced at them casually, "Go and line up. We won't take anyone who doesn't line up."

The boss said that character can be seen from small things. People who don't follow the order will not obey the management when they come. They must not want them.

The people who came were all acquaintances from the neighbors, and many of them wanted to jump in the queue because they were familiar with Zhou Liwen. Zhou Liwen announced directly and expressionlessly that he had lost the qualification.
