Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 67
Liu Man'er imitated the factories of the later generations, and paid them according to their work. It was very difficult to find jobs in this ancient time. Most people looked for some jobs such as starching and washing clothes, but this kind of work was tiring and hurt their hands. The money earned is still small, but even so, there are still many people rushing to do it. After all, money is hard to earn, and being idle at home is also idle.

So as soon as Liu Man'er said that she wanted to open this small handicraft workshop, many people came to ask, but Liu Man'er asked Fang to help screen, some people with dirty hands and feet, bad conduct, and lazy people were not wanted.

Everyone has lived in the village for so many years. Although they don't say what kind of character they are, everyone knows it well. Although Fang knows it, he is a little afraid of offending others.

Liu Man'er felt that this was indeed a trouble. After all, they all belonged to the same village. If you don't look up and look down, it's not good if you just say that they can't do it.

So she thought of a way and conducted an assessment. Naturally, this assessment is not needlework. With just a little needlework, many people can sew two stitches patiently and well.

Liu Man'er knew that the people who came here were all good at needlework, but she asked Ye Yuan to take out those rough, unformed wooden beads for them to polish.

This is a job that tests patience, Ye Yuan has to polish each wooden bead for a long time, and his speed is fast, if it is like these women, it will definitely take longer to polish.

Most gossip women put all their energy into chewing their tongues. Naturally, they don't have the patience, but some of them have patience. Because of the non-stop talking, the spirit runs out of their mouths, and the things they grind out are not good enough. round.

In this way, Liu Man'er has a reason to eliminate them, presumably they themselves have nothing to say, if the rumors are said to be of bad character, but they have the patience to polish these wooden beads, Liu Man'er will keep them, and then let them help polish the wooden beads. Zhu, if they have been performing well, it will not be too late to let them do other things.

Using this method, Liu Man'er chose the person she wanted, and then she wronged Ye He to sleep in the same room with Fang Shi, and tidied up her room to make a small workshop as a simple workplace for these women .

Ye He's room was originally very simple and simple. She was young and didn't have many things, so she quickly cleaned it up. The little girl was very sensible and didn't complain at all, but Liu Man'er promised to prepare one for her when she made money. big room.

The establishment of the workshop is still billed according to work. Liu Man'er has divided the things she has to do into several processes. They calculated the price, such as how much it cost to sew a sachet and so on.

Of course, now that there are more people, the wages she pays are not as high as before, but she has done all the calculations to ensure that these women can earn at least a dozen pennies if they work hard every day, but rural people are generally hardworking, Many people got [-] yuan of wages on the first day.

For the countryside, this is a lot of money. These women don't have any place to make money on weekdays. If they can earn twenty coins a day, wouldn't they be able to earn half a tael a month?
In this way, there will be an income of five taels of silver a year.

Liu Man'er gave them daily settlements for the first three days, and then gave them daily settlements every ten days. She originally wanted monthly settlements, but she didn't know how long she could sell these things, so it happened every ten days. She was going to the county town to investigate the market, and seeing money from time to time, these people would be more motivated to work.

After working for so long, Liu Man'er wanted to make more and more things, and she even started to design big dolls.

Many people want to know what Liu Man'er is doing, but Liu Man'er doesn't intend to tell them, there are too many people, teaching apprentices to starve the master to death, and there is no patent right here.

So every time she thinks of something, she prepares to have the trustworthy Aunt Chunhua's family do the last few forming processes.

As for the last step, she did it all by herself. This flower sample is the finishing touch. If there is no pattern, no matter how beautiful it is, it will always be a bit too plain.

In the past, when he came back from hunting every day and had to draw something, Ye Yuan felt sorry for her. Every night when he saw her staying up late to make these things, he felt a little guilty, so he would prepare hot water for Liu Man'er and use a hot towel to give her She wraps her wrists.

Now that the small workshop is open, there are countless things to draw, Liu Man'er draws things every day until her hands are sore, Ye Yuan feels distressed when she sees it, but he can't help.

Others don't know, mainly because she is a little worried, if the painting is not done well, or if there is too much ink, then the whole sachet or doll will be useless, Liu Man'er is a little bit reluctant.

So in the past few days, she started to let Ye He learn to paint, and she can help her a little bit when the time comes.

Ye Yuan has been spending less time hunting recently, Liu Man'er instigates him here and there every day, there are too many things to do, occasionally he has to go to the county town to see the sales, and establish a good relationship with those shopkeepers.

Now Liu Man'er is both a manufacturer and a distributor. Although there are not many things made every day, there are many things.

Many shopkeepers have sold out their items, but they still want to buy them because they have no place to buy them. It is not worth going to the countryside for these items, so they can only send Ye Yuanchang to have a look.

However, the hard work during this period is also worthwhile. Liu Maner's property has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in just over a month, she has already earned more than 30 taels of silver during this period, plus what she earned before. Money, a total of 50 taels of silver.

With the money, Liu Man'er thought about buying land, but she also wanted to open a small shop in the county, and then wanted to buy horses for Ye Yuan, but there was only so much money at the moment, it was really a tangled thing.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to buy the land first, and then buy the horse if I had money left over. In this way, in ancient times, it would be considered a good family with a house and a car.

As for buying shops, Liu Man'er is not in a hurry. She doesn't design many products now, and it is quite suitable to put them in these shops, which is better than selling by herself.

Another reason is that there is a serious shortage of manpower in the family. Even if they buy a shop, there is no one to manage it.

Because of the lack of manpower, Liu Man'er wanted to buy a few servants to help with the work. I heard that servants in this era are not expensive, and it seems that they can be bought for a few taels of silver.

But the house has not been built yet, even if you buy someone, there is no place for them to live in. Liu Man'er is a hedonistic person in his bones, and he doesn't think that everyone is equal, but after all, he has received higher education. When buying a servant, it is natural to treat her well, and she still can't do that kind of mistress who beats and scolds the servant.

It's like hiring someone to work, even in later generations, those rich people still hire a lot of servants to help with the work.

However, I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, so take it step by step.

It's almost summer, the things at home are getting more and more, these chickens and ducks have grown up, they are noisy in the backyard every day, the rabbit raised by Liu Man'er also gave birth to a little rabbit, and Liu Man'er made Ye Yuan again I made a nest for these rabbits, and kept two sheep in the backyard, letting them run around and graze.

On the other hand, Mrs. Fang loves and hates these two sheep. What she loves is that they produce milk. Now that little Tianchen has been drinking milk, she is becoming more and more flexible. She can stand up and even talk occasionally. , will be called grandma, mother, and father.

What I hate is that these two sheep wander around in the field every day, eating all the vegetables she planted.

But there is no way, the family simply can't spare manpower to herd the sheep, so they can only adopt the method of grazing, they like to do whatever they want, anyway, the sheep can't escape when the gate is closed.

Liu Man'er bought two more geese to watch the house. These two geese are very fierce. They walk around the yard with their heads held high every day. They manage the breeding, chickens, ducks, etc. in the yard. Get here and run away.

Sometimes Liu Man'er would come out for a walk after drawing a picture, look at these poultry, listen to what they are thinking, if they are hungry, she will give them something to eat, if they are sick, she will check what is going on If they are bored, Liu Man'er will let them out for a walk.

Of course, these poultry can't talk, and they don't have much thought. Most of them just play when they're full, thinking about eating and drinking.

The two sheep, on the other hand, think more, especially the milked sheep, which cry every time in pain, Liu Man'er will try to lighten it up as much as possible, and reward it with good food.

Although these poultry can't understand Liu Man'er's words, and Liu Man'er doesn't know whether she perceives the meaning of these animals is correct, but she thinks that her talent should be fine, she feels that she can convey it through their calls emotions, as well as facial expressions, to understand their general thoughts.

There are many miraculous things in this world. It is not miraculous that her hearing is so good that she can be more sensitive than ordinary people.

So she was contented every day, and occasionally came over to reprimand them. When Fang saw it, she said to Ye Yuan: "Look, Man'er is talking to these animals again."

"She said that animals have spirits, and she said that she can understand the meaning of these animals, so let her go." Ye Yuan didn't care.

"But it's also strange. In the past, with Man'er around, the poultry I raised couldn't keep alive. Now she raises them by herself, but she takes good care of these chickens and ducks. Our family has so many chickens and ducks. This year It’s strange that only one died.”

While Fang was talking, she was also a little happy. It is always difficult to feed all the chickens and ducks in this farm, and usually several of them will die. Sometimes these chickens and ducks get sick, and it is common to die in large numbers. There were so many and only one died. This is indeed a thing worthy of praise.

"I used to think that the lady head of our village is an expert at raising chickens and takes good care of these chickens and ducks every year. Now it seems that our family's Man'er is also an expert at raising chickens and ducks." Fang and Ye Yuan Said.

"That's right, she said that she is the king of these animals, these chickens and ducks have to listen to her, she won't let them die, they dare not die." Ye Yuan also talked to Fang.
