There has never been a summer as prosperous as this summer, and there has never been a village as lively as Anning Village.

Shen Qingqing is definitely not a big talker, since he said that he wanted to build a glutinous rice factory, he must do it in a good way, and in less than half a month, a decent factory was erected in Anning Village.

The three-in, three-out house also has a thatched house and a kitchen, and the yard is also roofed, so you can come out to work on rainy days.

Some of the women were in the courtyard, some were in the house, several cauldrons were working at the same time, and the smoke was rising day and night.

Although the villagers are tired, they are also happy on their faces when they get silver, which is original, with silver and their waists are straight, and they are a lot harder to talk at home.

The old and young masters in the village also helped Shen Qingqing build a house, and they also got a lot of silver taels for a while, and people in other villages and towns were envious of having such a God of Wealth as Shen Qingqing in Anning Village.

Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong stood at the door, looking at the scene of labor, and couldn't help but be happy.

"I never thought we'd end up in such a situation." Lin Zhong sighed.

When Shen Qingqing just wanted to speak, he saw that there were already a lot of glutinous rice cakes and glutinous rice dumplings in wooden boxes, ready to be sent to the town, and they were quite busy going in and out.

The two of them had just taken a step back, and Lin Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, and asked an old man in the village, "How much have you made glutinous rice cakes and glutinous rice dumplings?" ”

"Five boxes of glutinous rice cakes were made, and six boxes of glutinous rice dumplings were made."

"Why so little?" Shen Qingqing couldn't help frowning, looking at the village woman busy with her work, Shen Qingqing originally thought that the task had been completed a long time ago, but she didn't expect that there was still so much short.

Since Zhen Qian cooperated with people from other counties, there are ten boxes of glutinous rice dumplings and glutinous rice cakes every day.

The old man touched his forehead, but smiled honestly: "Alas, this has been able to earn a lot of silver, I see, the two of you should be content, besides, the work of the women in the village has not stopped." ”

The old man was highly respected in the village, and Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong, who were talking hippie and smiling, didn't take it to heart.

When these glutinous rice cakes were transported to the ox cart, Shen Qingqing felt that something was wrong.

She sat down and took a sip of water: "If this is the case, I'm afraid we don't have enough workers now." ”

"Do you need to find some more workers?"

If there was not enough manpower before, Shen Qingqing would definitely have to find some workers, but now she has some hesitation.

If you get those workers back, you will definitely have to work for a long time, but glutinous rice dumplings and glutinous rice cakes are also divided into off-peak seasons, and now it is the peak season when there are more manpower, but if there are so many long-term workers in the off-season, wouldn't Shen Qingqing be very cost-effective?

Lin Zhong's hand tapped on the table, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "We can hire some short-term workers." I see that there are some women in the village who have not come to work, just because they think that in a month or two they will be busy at home and cannot do long-term work, but now we can let them come and do it for a short time, what do you think? ”

"That's a good idea." Shen Qingqing also smiled and felt that this method in the forest was indeed feasible. And Shen Qingqing thought about it for a while, and didn't know what came to mind, "If we are like this, it is not the most cost-effective, the most cost-effective is to make glutinous rice seeds and glutinous rice cake one-stop service." ”

"One-stop service?"

This is a modern technical vocabulary that Lin Zhong does not understand.

Shen Qingqing took a pen and paper while writing, and demonstrated to Lin Zhong: "That's the case, we can buy some glutinous rice seeds, distribute these glutinous rice seeds to the villagers and let them plant them, and then we will recycle these glutinous rice at a high price, and this glutinous rice will be transported directly to our glutinous rice processing factory. ”

This brain needs to be used, and only by being flexible can we think of ways to make money.

Although Lin Zhong didn't speak, his mind was also extremely flexible, as soon as he heard Shen Qingqing's idea, he immediately felt that it was really feasible, but now it was still too petty, if he really made up his mind, he had to make it more formal.

When twilight fell, most of the people who had had dinner were chatting by the stream, or they were at home with their wives and children hot kang, but tonight was a little different.

Most of the people in the village gathered in Shen Qingqing's house, there were too many people, and there was no way to stand in the house, so Shen Qingqing simply pulled some people into the courtyard.

The lights are lit, and there is an atmosphere of some candlelight night talk.

The villagers sat on the benches one by one, eating red dates and eating melon seeds in their mouths, Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong sat in the middle, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

Shen Qingqing was also facing such a solemn occasion for the first time, and it was inevitable that she was a little nervous in her heart.

And Lin Zhong just patted her on the back lightly: "Don't be nervous, you are now looking for some ways for the villagers to make money and make a fortune, and it is too late for them to thank you." ”

For some reason, with Lin Zhong's words, Shen Qingqing relaxed a lot, and the smile on his face was as bright as the light next to him: "Villagers, I didn't call everyone here today because of anything else, but because I wanted to discuss something with you." ”

"If there is anything that can be discussed, you can do what you want to do." Some of the village women said with a loud voice.

"Yes, Qingqing, we can't wait to confess to you now, what else is there to discuss? We'll all listen to you. The man also responded, and the villagers all laughed.

Shen Qingqing saw that the villagers were so cooperative, but she also said bluntly: "Everyone also knows that now my glutinous rice factory has been opened, but there is really not enough manpower. And this glutinous rice dumpling is not a one-year or two-year business, if we do it well, it can last for many years. I wondered if we could all work together. ”

"How do you divide labor and work together? What does this mean? But some villagers immediately shouted, staring at the fierce gods.

This is the person who didn't get the silver taels from Shen Qingqing's hands, and he was a little anxious.

Shen Qingqing just wanted to speak, but Lin Zhong stood up: "Now Shen Qingqing is the boss, whatever she says, if you are not satisfied, you can leave now." ”

"Lin Zhong," Shen Qingqing felt that Lin Zhong said this sentence too much, and when he wanted to stop it, he understood Lin Zhong's deep meaning when he thought about it the next day.

Now that they have made this decision, it means that Shen Qingqing is the shopkeeper, and the villagers are all his workers, and some sensible people will grasp these distances, but if those white-eyed wolf villagers still think that Shen Qingqing should give them silver, and it is necessary to establish prestige now.

Admittedly, violence and seriousness are the simplest and most effective ways to build prestige.

Sure enough, after Lin Zhong's words came out, some dissatisfied villagers just now all closed their mouths at this time.

Shen Qingqing was very satisfied with the current situation, and when he spoke again, his tone eased a little: "Although I, Shen Qingqing, don't have any big ambitions, but I also want everyone in the village to be able to earn money, but I can't help some village women's hands are stupid, and I can't learn how to cut cakes and glutinous rice dumplings, and I am also red when I look at others making money, I have also found a way for you." ”

"What, Qingqing, say it quickly." Immediately some of the villagers couldn't wait.

Shen Qingqing smiled: "I bought a lot of glutinous rice seeds, and now I sell them to you, if you don't want to make glutinous rice cakes with me, you can take these seeds back and plant them in the field, and when they are ripe, I will take them back at a high price." But some people still want to plant some crops in the field that they want to grow, and that's okay. If you want, come and make glutinous rice cakes with me, and we will sign an agreement that is fair and reasonable. There are also some people who come to my factory to work inconveniently, so it's okay, I can give you those glutinous rice noodles and you take them home to do, and then hand them over to me after the glutinous rice cakes are ready, and we will settle the accounts according to the number of glutinous rice cakes. ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than that some villagers help Shen Qingqing grow glutinous rice, some take it home to make glutinous rice dumplings, and some make glutinous rice dumplings in Shen Qingqing's factory.

The division of labor is reasonable, and Shen Qingqing's expression is also clear, even the villagers who can't read a single big character immediately understand.

One villager raised his hand: "Qingqing, I want to take this glutinous rice flour home to make glutinous rice dumplings, but how is this salary settled?" ”

"Yes, the people who come to work in the factory are two cents a month, how do they calculate these?"

Shen Qingqing had already thought of the price: "Take it home and make it for ten pennies a catty." ”

"Ten dollars a pound?" Immediately, some people muttered, saying that more is not much, and less is not too much, but it is fair.

"Okay, I'll follow Qingqing."

"Yes, yes, I agreed."

Seeing that all these villagers were very enthusiastic, Shen Qingqing immediately took out a paper and pen: "What kind of work do you want to do, ask me to sign up now, I will register for you, and I will sign an agreement when the time comes." ”

Shen Qingqing looked at the dense names and division of labor written on the paper, and just when he wanted to put down the brush, a person directly said: "Qingqing, I also want to help you make glutinous rice dumplings and glutinous rice cakes." ”

This voice was sharp and ugly, very familiar, and when I looked up, it was Zhang's daughter-in-law.
