Chapter 169 Arrangements for New Workers
Early in the morning, the fifteen newly recruited women in the village came to Shiliu's house early. These fifteen women were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night. Before dawn, they had to tidy up for themselves. One pass, it came cleanly.

When we arrived at the open space in front of the workshop, we saw workers from the Li family entering the workshop one after another. They couldn't help but become more excited. From now on, they can also work in the workshop!

Li Chunfang came early with Dani and Erni. She just wanted to start work early and earn wages one day earlier. Her mother told her yesterday that seven taels of the money they redeemed from their mothers was hers. The remaining eight taels of dowry money were all covered with pomegranates.

She strives to earn enough money as soon as possible so that she can return the pomegranate!

She was sleeping in bed last night, thinking about these things all the time. She had to pay off the debt first, and give some of the money she earned to her eldest brother's house. Although they lived with their parents, they couldn't live in vain, even if her eldest brother didn't say anything. What, there is such a big family as Rong Song's daughter-in-law and Rong Bai's daughter-in-law - besides, she herself is too embarrassed to live in vain.

Pomegranate arrived at the workshop in front of everyone. She knew many of the fifteen women in the village and knew their reputations. She couldn't help but nod secretly. The patriarch had a charter and the people he picked were all good ones.

She didn't say much more. She just said one sentence at the beginning. Once you enter the workshop, you must work hard and don't be wrong. If you are talkative and ill-intentioned and leak out the things in the workshop, don't blame their family for not telling them. The affection between the fellow villagers is strong. When the time comes, just drive them out. Anyway, the workshop will not worry about not being able to recruit people.

The women all expressed their opinions that they would work hard and not be mean-spirited! Just kidding, the workshop has no worries about not being able to recruit people, they are afraid of losing such a real job!

Which woman can find such a good job right in front of her house and earn thirty cash a day and be willing to throw it away?

If you don't pay close attention, you're all a fool!
Pomegranate nodded and immediately began to share the work with everyone.

Fifteen women, four were assigned to the group of pounding and shredding meat, eight were assigned to the group of frying pork floss, and three were assigned to the packaging group. Today, we will learn how to do it with the women in the original group. Tomorrow You’re ready to get started.

Long before the decision to expand enrollment was made, Shiliu had made an agreement with Uncle Six to build a few more stoves right after New Year's Eve, and they would be built on the outside of the wall next to the meat floss workshop.

Although the Li family has been busy these days, the sixth uncle and his son have nothing to do. They came over to do some work in the afternoon of the second day of the second year of junior high school.

No, six simple one-pot stovetops were built, packed and ready for use.

When the fifteen women today get started, starting from tomorrow, the six stoves outside will be used exclusively for cooking meat, and all the ten pots in the house will be used for frying pork floss, which is four more pots than before. This progress will also be increased by almost half.

The fifteen women were all assigned to their respective groups. The women in the original group were all familiar with each other, and they got along quickly.

Only Li Chunfang, mother and daughter were left, and Pomegranate took them directly to the salted egg yolk workshop.

A new stove and a large pot were built under the wall of the Salted Egg Yolk Workshop. Several pots were bought together after asking Li Jizhong to deliver the goods on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

At the moment, Pomegranate went to the salted egg yolk workshop to get the freshly made salted egg yolks, and asked Dani to get firewood to light a fire so that she could teach them how to make salted egg yolk sauce.

Yes, she plans to leave the making of salted egg yolk sauce to her sister-in-law, Li Chunfang, and her daughter.

While waiting for the fire to be lit, Pomegranate made it clear to Li Chunfang that the wages of the three of them were calculated not by the day but by the piece, and each jar of salted egg yolk sauce would cost two cents.

Li Chunfang listened and didn't know what kind of salted egg yolk sauce it was or how to make it, but she was very happy when she heard that she could get two cents for making a jar. Dani and Erni were also used to it when they were still in the Zhang family. Her workers are all hard-working children. If the three of them are lazy and can make ten or twenty altars a day, wouldn't they be able to earn dozens of copper coins!

Just thinking about it like this makes my heart beat with excitement. At that moment, Li Chunfang looked at Pomegranate, looking serious and waiting to learn.

When the fire was lit, Pomegranate poured water into the pot and placed the steamer. When the pot started to steam, she put the salted egg yolks on a plate and steamed them.

After steaming for about ten minutes, lift the lid of the pot and take out the plate. The salted egg yolk inside will be cooked until it is a little oily. Then put it into a clean ceramic bowl, add an appropriate amount of sesame oil, crush it evenly with a spoon, and finally You will get a golden and rich paste - salted egg yolk sauce.

The process is very simple. Steam it once, pour the crushed salted egg yolk sauce into a clean small jar, and it is half filled. In this way, you only need to do this twice to get a jar.

Li Chunfang looked at it seriously and felt that it was very simple. It didn't take a lot of effort, and you could get two cents per pot. She roughly estimated that if the three of them worked non-stop, they would be able to make three There is no problem at all with Shitan.

Pomegranate then asked Li Chunfang to do it once, while she watched from the side and was making a budget in her heart. Sanni was responsible for lighting the fire and watching the pot, so that the fire would not stop and the pot would not stop, and the sister-in-law and Dani would be in charge. Crush, stir and assemble the jars. In this way, it is easy to make thirty or forty jars in one day.

In this way, you can earn at least sixty pence a day. After a month, a penny is indispensable. In a year, you will have an income of more than ten pence. After working for a year, my sister-in-law will be able to build a new house by herself. Completely settled.

As for the homestead - Shiliu thought that she would have to discuss it with her grandparents now that she had some free time. There were not many pieces of homestead left in the village. Without waiting for anyone, she could advance her wages to buy a piece of homestead for her sister-in-law.

But we have to wait until everything is over after the fifteenth birthday, and if we want to buy a homestead in the name of my sister-in-law, then the sister-in-law must set up a female household.

Although there was a rule in Jin Dynasty that married women could establish a female household, but she thought what if her grandpa still wanted to give her sister-in-law a separate household? After all, my sister-in-law is still young.

So let's do it step by step. Later, she will "fool" her grandma to buy the homestead first.

After thinking about it, the salted egg yolk in the pot was also steamed. Pomegranate watched Li Chunfang take the pot and started adding oil, crushing and stirring. This step was simple. Li Chunfang looked at it carefully first, one by one, there was no problem at all. Pomegranate also paid attention Here, the number of times she was crushed was almost the same as hers!
"Pomegranate, how about it? Okay?" After doing it, Li Chunfang looked at Pomegranate with a look of anticipation.

Pomegranate nodded immediately, "Sister-in-law, you did a good job, just do it this way! After putting a jar in this way, seal it with oil paper and put it in the middle room. First put it on the table near the door. At the end of the day, Count how much you have done and then put it in the warehouse.”

Li Chunfang nodded in agreement, and she was also very motivated and hurriedly installed the jar and sealed it without any delay, so that she could continue to cook the next pot.

Pomegranate looked at them for a long time and saw that there was no problem with them, so she went home.

First, she walked through the middle homestead. She had already drawn the drawings of the new house. She would not start construction until the fifteenth day. Then she would also have to go to the pottery kiln to see about custom-made water pipes.

Think about it, there are still many things to do.

All the way to their kitchen, Mrs. Song, Li Xiangli, Li Yitang's daughter-in-law Niu and Aunt Jifu were selecting and cutting vegetables to prepare for lunch. Niu's Aunt Jifu was hired as a helper at the start of this year's work. Taking care of the meals for dozens of people was a tiring job, so Pomegranate thought that finding two more people would save some of the burden on her mother and eldest sister, so that they would not have to work in the kitchen for most of the day.

The helpers were paid five cents per meal, and the two of them came to help with joy even though they were responsible for the meal.

The meat that was delivered this morning was also topped with a lot of big bones, and was stewed with specially sour green vegetables. It was a full pot, and the pickled vegetables had a strong flavor. The pomegranate made me take a sip of saliva. I just had breakfast not long ago. Then I felt hungry.

She can only eat two bowls of this big-bone pickled cabbage soup!
