The next day, Chen Wenhui really made a list for Yin Hong to present to Bai. At first glance, there are many that Bai Shi does not understand, such as: soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, starch, pepper, chili pepper, and some seafood names, such as shark fin, abalone, grouper, lobster, etc. I asked Chen Wenhui about it, and Chen Wenhui described everything carefully. Bai called Ziyu and thought together. These things are all there, but some of them have different names. For example, peppers are called peppers, potatoes are called yam eggs, sweet potatoes are called sweet potatoes, soybeans are called golden beans, and there are no seafood such as shark fins and abalone. The reason is that the navigation technology of this era was not so advanced, only some marine fish and shrimp, and crabs were not eaten by anyone. Also, people in this era rarely ate the offal of animals. The internal organs of pigs and sheep are fed to dogs. Dog meat is also eaten, but there is absolutely no way to sell it in the market. Also, when buying meat, be sure to order it in advance. Because this is a feudal natural economy, the common people do not know how to breed on a large scale, so there is very little meat.

After some inquiry, Bai felt that his daughter had named these ingredients better than the original name, and couldn't help but wonder how his daughter knew. Chen Wenhui naturally took the old excuse again, saying that it was seen in miscellaneous books. Bai naturally believed in her daughter, so she didn't pursue it, but Chen Wenhui had bright eyes, because she found many ways to get rich. For example, people here don't use soybeans to extract oil, and Bai was very puzzled when he heard his daughter say that soybeans can be squeezed for oil, but he just promised to let him buy soybeans and try them according to his daughter's method to see if he can produce oil. If it does, it's a good way to get rich. Bai, who is good at financial management, can't help but look forward to it when he thinks of this.

In the next few days, Ziyu and Yinhong found a lot of ingredients with the help of Chen Cai, and basically found them all except seafood. Chen Wenhui liked an elegant life in her previous life, of course, as a white-collar worker, her academic performance has been very good since she was a child, and she likes to soak in the Internet after work, so she is very familiar with time-traveling novels. Therefore, she can still remember a little bit of the common techniques in crossing, such as soybean oil extraction. Chen Wenhui drew a simple picture and handed it to Chen Cai, claiming that it was an exotic oil press that he had seen in a miscellaneous book. Chen Cai found the best craftsmen in Anseong and quickly made it. Subsequently, out of curiosity, Chen Cai personally led a few servants to squeeze out soybean oil with an oil press. After the soybean oil came out, it was brought to Bai's, and when Bai's saw that it was really made, he was very happy, and hurriedly ordered the kitchen to take it and try it. What is made with soybean oil is really delicious, without the oiliness of animal oil. Bai found a business opportunity in it. discussed with Chen Yuanheng to set up an oil mill. Of course, as a county parent official, it is too easy for Chen Yuanheng to find a cheap and suitable place, and it is too easy to borrow start-up capital. At the same time, because of the slave system in ancient times, Chen Yuanheng called the Ya people, selected some people from the Bai family, bought them, and the oil mill was complete from the factory to the capital to the workers. Of course, it will be supervised by Chen Cai for the time being, and it will be enough to find another shopkeeper when it is an opportunity. These things are familiar to Chen Yuanheng and the Bai family. Chen Yuanheng was born in a family, and because he was a concubine, he was trained to manage general affairs since he was a child, and the Bai family was a master of management.

Bai did not hide these from Chen Wenhui, because Chen Wenhui followed Bai every day to learn to manage housework, and naturally knew the progress of the oil mill very well. With the establishment of the Tongguò oil mill, Chen Wenhui really felt the benefits of power in this world. Chen Yuanheng just casually said at a poetry meeting with a local squire that his wife wanted to build an oil mill. Immediately, the head of the Wang family, a large family in the city, claimed that he had an oil mill near the Anhe River not far outside the city, which was originally used to squeeze sesame oil, but now it is not doing well, and he has been losing money for many years. Chen Yuanheng was concerned about the situation of the oil mill in a timely manner. The head of the Wang family immediately called the housekeeper to bring the picture album of the oil mill, which was clearly a good oil mill, and the place was very large, in addition to the existing sesame oil squeezing equipment, there was also a lot of place that could be used for development. The most important thing is that it was built next to the An River, and three large waterwheels were built from the river water as power. It's ideal. The next day, the Wang family sent the title deed and documents, and Chen Yuanheng symbolically gave twenty taels of silver, but the red deed stated that it was two thousand taels of transactions. A deal is a great deal. In order to thank Chen Yuanheng for accepting his oil mill, which is said to be very loss-making, the Wang family also sent ten oil mill men, three oil mill masters, and the deed of sale of their families, claiming that they didn't want to see these minions who couldn't manage his property well. Now you don't even need to buy people, you can produce it by buying good materials. Of course, the Chen family actually bought people, and now they are all put into the oil mill, and the more people and the larger the scale, the natural more money.

One day, Bai was taking Director Chen Wenhui with him. The housekeeper Chen Cai came to report that the oil mill had been cleaned up, and the newly made soybean oil utensils were also ready, and the oil had been produced, and asked Bai if he wanted to take a look. Bai Shi was very happy when he heard this, and immediately ordered the car to be set, and took Chen Wenhui out of the city in the car.

There is a late spring scene outside the city, and the suburbs of Jiangnan are very empty, this is the first time Chen Wenhui has gone out after coming to this world, and she is very curious. Sitting in the carriage and looking out from the window, Chen Wenhui was very excited, it was still beautiful in spring without environmental pollution. In Chen Wenhui's previous life, the Jiangnan of Lotus Leaf He Tiantian was already full of factories, and the environment was polluted. The spring here is bright, the flowers are blooming, the warbler is tactful, in the face of such a scenery, infected by Chen Wenhui, Bai Shi is also happy, and ordered the entourage to open the car curtain around. It turns out that this place can be so open, by the way, there is no fallacy of the process of Zhu here, and the social status of women is okay. The carriage was made of two variegated horses drawn by a wooden cart with a blue wheel, a green silk roof and a curtain. The curtains on all sides can be rolled up, and it will not be stuffy at all. Chen Wenhui was held in Bai's arms, and Bai's eldest maid Qingshuang and Wen Hui's eldest maid Yinhong were behind the car. The rest of the mothers-in-law and the little maids followed the car. The housekeeper Chen Cai rode a horse to lead the way in front, and behind Chen Cai, walking in front of the carriage was a team of officials in Anseong. Just kidding, when his wife and his good daughter traveled, Chen Yuanheng naturally used his power to give security guarantees. Chen Wenhui breathed in the fresh air, looked at the picturesque scenery, and sighed, it is good to have a father who is the county governor.

After walking for a long time, I came to the oil mill. This oil mill occupies a huge area, the size of three halls, divided into three courtyards, one courtyard for the families of the craftsmen, one yard for sesame oil pressing, and one yard for fried soybean oil. There is also a row of warehouses on the side, the yard faces the main road, and the back is against the An River, and the rushing water of the An River drives the three waterwheels to turn unlistened. At this time, the air is filled with the fragrance of sesame oil. After Bai led his daughter around, he came to the tent and sat down.

Chen Cai's family served a cup of tea. Bai Shi took it and took a sip slowly, and then asked, "How many people are there here?" Chen Caijia replied: "There are ten long-term workers here, all of whom have signed a deed of sale, and the deed of sale is signed with Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang transferred it to our family, and it has been completed." These ten long-term workers are all young and strong, and they have not yet married. Before, the Wang family had long-term workers who were married, and they were all brought home, and these ten were all bought from outside, and they had been working in the oil mill for three years, signed the deed, and they had not yet reached the age of marriage. Master Wang said that we are novices, and we have to train when we buy outside, so we simply leave these ten. In addition to these ten long-term workers, there are also three masters, namely Master An, Master Liu, and Master Wang. They were all masters hired outside the Wang family in the past, and they also signed a deed of sale. In fact, there were two masters in the oil mill before, but those two masters were married to servants of the Wang family, so the Wang family took them away. These three masters all have families and children, and now they all belong to our Chen family. Master An's wife is in charge of the stove in this oil mill. Master Wang's wife is responsible for the washing of the yard. Master Liu's wife is in charge of sprinkling and sweeping the yard. In addition, there is also a stove, and the pulp wash hires two mothers-in-law from the outside. Saba hired three mothers-in-law. Before, we also bought five small servants, all of whom were placed in the oil mill as apprentices. This is the roster. With that, Chen Caijia handed a booklet to Qingshuang in front of Bai's family. Qingshuang handed the booklet to Bai, who slowly flipped through it. After reading it once, Bai Shi looked up and said to Chen Cai's family: "You go and call the three masters and their families and children over for me to see." Chen Caijia's mouth said yes, while withdrawing. At this time, there were only Bai and Qingshuang and Chen Wenhui in the room. Yin Hong boiled water outside. Bai Shi said to Qingshuang: "You go to the stove and call Yinhong to learn." Qingshuang hurriedly opened the curtain and went out. Seeing that there was no one in the house, Bai said to Chen Wenhui: "Hui'er, today my mother wants to hand over how you will accept the domestic servants." This old man Wang is very scheming. He sold us such a good oil mill at a low price, and gave it to us servants, you don't see anything. Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said: "Mother, these individuals have a skill, but they have nothing to do with the Wang family, so they give us a favor for nothing, and don't let us misunderstand that the Wang family wants to meddle in the internal affairs of our Chen family." Bai Shi was very pleased: "Hui'er, you are very right. In a family, there can be several masters, and the most people are these servants. Therefore, the management of servants is the main thing for us as women in the inner court. To manage a servant, one must first sign a deed of sale. In particular, the masters of these shops, Zhuangzi, and workshops must sign to prevent eating inside and out, and to prevent technology leakage. For the main characters, such as the owner of the Zhuangzi, the master in the workshop, and the shopkeeper, it is not enough for these people to sign the deed of sale, but also to get their children to the inner house, or not to be a maid, or not a small servant. And give more decency. In this way, these people will be firmly on a leash, and they will be extremely grateful to their masters. Later, I will pick a few maids for you from these three families and put them next to you to count as second-class maids. Originally, you had two first-class maids, but there were only two second-class maids, so I took advantage of this time to add them to you. Chen Wenhui exclaimed in her heart, it turns out that there is such a big difference between ancient management and modern management, and we must learn with an open mind. Bai Shi saw his daughter with a look of understanding and said, "Hui'er, you are so smart, you deserve to be from a big family." It's just that I've wronged you in this Anseong. If you were in this family, you would have been equipped with two big girls, four second-class, and eight third-class. It's just that there aren't many people in this Anseong. “
