Chapter 129: Preparations for Opening the Workshop
"Auntie, I want you to help with something. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Du Yue said beside Liu Lin's side.
"Anything, I can help you." Liu Lin said that she couldn't think of anything else that Du Yue needed her help with now.
"Didn't I sign a contract with someone else for the yuba business, seeing that the autumn harvest has passed, and the villagers have begun to be idle, I plan to recruit a few diligent women from the village to help make yuba, but not only to be diligent, but also to be strict enough, at least I won't tell me about my yuba practice." Du Yue said what she was planning in her heart, today Tang Yizhi has already started to ask, now that the workshop is also available, and the autumn harvest has passed, there should be a woman in the village who is idle.
"I thought what was the matter, this is simple, you want to find a few, when you want it, I'll help you find it." Liu Lin said, she also remembered that Du Yue's workshop had been built, and she was about to start making yuba.
"It should take two or three days, let's recruit five first, try to sell it in the early stage, and then there will be more demand over there, and then continue to recruit people." Du Yue thought that in the past two days, he would go to the city to let people make a few big iron pots, buy a stone mill and come back, and then buy soybeans, prepare these, Du Yue expects that two or three days will be enough, the number of people Du Yue has calculated before, five people, even if they are not familiar for the time being, they can produce hundreds of catties a day.
"Then I'll help you ask those people first, and when you want to start, just notify them to come over." Liu Lin had already thought of several candidates in his mind, all of whom were hard-working people with strict mouths.
"Well, then I'll trouble you first. Then I'll go back first. "Looking at the recruitment, it's over, Du Yue wants to go back first.
"Then you can go back and get busy first." Liu Lin thought that Du Yue had just moved to a new home, and it was estimated that there were still some things that needed to be sorted out, so Du Yue was not left.
Du Yue walked out of the courtyard gate, and suddenly thought that there must be a lot of firewood at that time, and he had to find someone to buy firewood, so Du Yue walked back again.
"Auntie, I have to trouble you to help me find two more people to collect firewood, and there will be a lot of firewood to be used at that time." Du Yue came to Liu Lin's side again and said.
"It's easy to collect firewood, there should be a lot of people rushing to come, I'll help you choose two." Liu Lin saw such a simple thing, and even agreed in one bite.
Du Yue thought about it, there should be nothing more to trouble Liu Lin's help, said goodbye to Liu Lin's again, and went home.
Now there are not many things at home, they are all packed up before coming out, Du Yue went back, tied the courtyard door from the inside, and went to the kitchen, ready to boil water and wash, so she rested early, she thought that she would start teaching tomorrow morning, and she would take a look at the content to be taught later, and she would rest. After coming here for a few months, Du Yue has been accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, if in modern times, there is no eleven or twelve o'clock every day, Du Yue can't sleep at all, and at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock has to be set up several times to get up.
When she came back from school in the morning, Du Yue hurriedly made some lunch to eat, brought the silver, and went to the city, she had to quickly find someone to order a few large pots, the pots sold in the grocery store, Du Yue felt that it was still a little small, and the stoves she asked people to build at that time were larger than ordinary stoves.
When Du Yue arrived in the city, she went straight to the blacksmith shop, fortunately, she came to the city many times, and she could find the blacksmith if it wasn't on the street.
When Du Yue arrived at the blacksmith shop, he saw a man, constantly hammering a piece of red-hot iron, and he didn't know what it was for, an apprentice-like one, still helping to burn the fire.
"Uncle Iron, can you help make a pot here?" Du Yue shouted at the big man who was striking iron, the sound of striking iron was a little loud, and the big man didn't notice Du Yue, he focused on hitting his iron, and didn't hear it at all. Du Yue had no choice but to make a louder voice.
"Girl, you're going to get something." Dahan finally heard Du Yue's voice and stopped the hammer in his hand, but he didn't hear what Du Yue was going to fight, and looked at Du Yue and asked.
"I want to take a few cauldrons, I don't know if you can do it here." Du Yue said.
"Come in and talk." Dahan heard Du Yue say that he was making a few cauldrons, so he led Du Yue to the house.
Du Yue followed Dahan in, there was only a simple table inside, and there were only two large teacups on the table, which were probably used by Dahan and the apprentice to drink tea.
"Sanniang, pour a cup of hot tea." The big man shouted into the room.
"Okay." The person who was called Sanniang, after a while, poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Du Yue.
"Thank you." Du Yue took the tea, took a sip, and put it on the table.
"Shopkeeper, I want to hit five big iron pots, so big and so deep. Don't know how much money you need here? Du Yue said with his hand as he gestured with the big man who was striking iron.
"Half a tael of silver for each pot." Dahan quotes.
"Shopkeeper, can it be cheaper?"
"This price is very realistic, and it can't be missing."
"Okay." Du Yue thought in her heart, this iron was also rare in ancient times, so an iron pot was so expensive. After negotiating the price, Du Yue said her requirements in detail.
"That's fine, when do you want it?" Dahan wrote down Du Yue's request and asked.
"When will you give it to me as soon as possible?" Du Yue didn't know when this big man would be ready, so he asked.
"It'll be fine the afternoon the day after tomorrow. But you have to pay a deposit first. Dahan replied, the pot is not a difficult thing to do, in a day or two, you can do it yourself.
"How much is the deposit?" Du Yue asked, fortunately, she brought a few taels of silver out, she knew that if she wanted to find someone to make things, she would definitely have to pay a deposit.
"A tael of silver." Dahan said.
"No, here you go. Then I'll come to pick up the pot the afternoon after tomorrow. Du Yue took out a tael of silver and handed it to the big man.
"No problem." Dahan accepted Du Yue's silver and said happily.
The iron pot matter was settled, and Du Yue still had to buy a stone mill, but she hadn't seen where it was sold, so she asked Dahan: "Shopkeeper, do you know where to sell stone mills?"
"It's in the back alley, the third one, where there is a specialist in making abrasives." Dahan said to Du Yue, and showed Du Yue the way and told her how to go.
"Thank you." Du Yue thanked Dahan, and did as Dahan said, to find a place to sell stone mills. This place seems to be a little more away from the main street, and there are not many people in the alley, Du Yue thought, this big man shouldn't be lying to her, but when she thought about it, she also gave him a business, so there was no need to lie to herself. Du Yue turned the alley, and according to what the big man said, when he went to the third house, the courtyard door was open, and there was really a stone mill, and there were still people in it who continued to polish.
Du Yue raised his feet and went in, and the yard was full of stone mills, about six or seven of them, large and small. There were still four or five people polishing in the yard, two men and three young boys there, and there was a little lady in the house.
