Ning Xiu asked someone to transport the purchased oak wood to the backyard of the new house first and store it temporarily.

At this time, the backyard has been separated from the inner courtyard and has become an independent workshop.

When more than a dozen hired workers saw that the young owner was coming, they put down their work and saluted the young owner.

Ning Xiu nodded and motioned for everyone to continue working.

After this round of recruitment, the soap workshop can be officially put into operation. Ning Xiu feels that the soap market has great potential to be tapped, and expanding production at this time can precipitate costs and maximize benefits.

The market pattern of Jiangling is too small, and what Ning Xiu wants to do is to win the entire Jingzhou and even Huguang market, and look at the world while sitting on Huguang.

If soap could be accepted by the whole world, it would be an important innovation.

Nowadays, only the part after the saponification reaction is carried out in the workshop, and the previous raw material configuration is still completed by the Ning family.

Therefore, Ning Xiu does not have to worry about the leakage of soap making methods for the time being.

Mastering the key steps and delegating the rest of the work to the workers is what a wise business owner does.

"In a few days I will have a master carpenter come and explain how to make a barrel. Everyone learns hard from the master carpenter, and rewards 30 yuan for each barrel made. ”

Hearing this, all the hired men had a greedy look in their eyes.

Obediently, the young owner is really generous. If you can make dozens of barrels in a month, wouldn't you be able to get a whole tael of silver?

Their wages for making soap in the workshop are one and a half a month, and this extra one or two is equivalent to two and a half a month's monthly salary, which is much better than working outside.

Everyone is gearing up and ready to do a big job.

The young owner is so good to them, and they can't let the young owner down.

A thin young man said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, is there a limit to the number of barrels?" ”

Ning Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no limit to the quantity, you can get thirty yuan for each barrel you make." ”

Now the employees cheered.

The reason why Ning Xiu dared to say this was because he knew that the production of oak barrels was extremely complicated, and he could make dozens of them at most a month, or after he was proficient.

The workshop now has only a dozen hired workers, and at best it can make hundreds of barrels a month.

Moreover, these hired workers also make soap on weekdays, so it is impossible to concentrate all their energy on making wooden barrels.

It would be nice to have 100 barrels in the first month.

The aging of wine requires wooden barrels.

These hundred barrels may not be enough.

Of course, Ning Xiu wouldn't make a hundred barrels of wine at once.

After all, this thing has not been tested by the market.

Although Ning Xiu has made a lot of money now by relying on soap and restaurants, he has not reached the point of burning money at will.

After encouraging people, Ning Xiu did not leave immediately, but came to the stove room.

Working in the Ning family's workshop, the owner is responsible for three meals a day.

This may seem like an increase in spending, but in fact, it can buy people's hearts to the greatest extent and make the workers think of the workshop as their own home.

Ning Xiu did this to let the hired workers work for the Ning family and cut off the idea of changing jobs.

After all, in this era, there are not many owners who are willing to give half a month's money consistently, and only the Ning family is the only one who includes three meals. The rest of the so-called rice managers are at most one gruel a day, and they can't eat enough at all.

People's hearts are made of meat, and in horizontal comparison, hired workers will naturally choose to stay in the Ning family to work.

Ning Xiu also paid special attention to several points when choosing employees.

First, the employee's background must be innocent, although it is not necessary to have several people to jointly guarantee it as if taking the imperial examination, but it is also necessary to ensure that there is no record of committing adultery.

In Ning Xiu's view, character is the most important, be a person first and then do things.

Secondly, the hired workers selected by Ning Xiu are all from poor families haha.

These people are living in poverty, and they are already very grateful to be able to eat a hot meal, and they are suitable for training as a team.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

Ning Xiu gave a small favor to these hired workers at this time, and they would definitely repay them in the future.

In order to cook for these hired workers, Ning Xiu also specially hired a cook.

This cook's surname is Liu, known as Liu Niang, who is an ordinary farmer, but she makes several good farm dishes.

Seeing that the young owner entered the stove room, Liu Niang hurriedly said: "Why did the young owner come in, it's smoky here, don't stain your clothes." ”

Ning Xiu shook his head and said, "It's out of the way." What are you doing here? ”

Liu Niang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all home-cooked food." There are scrambled eggs, vinegared bamboo shoots, green onion mushrooms, and what is being made is a small fried pork from the farmhouse. Oh, and a pot of gnocchi soup. ”

Ning Xiu nodded. Yes, according to what he said, four dishes and one soup.

"Very good, add me a pair of chopsticks later, and everyone will eat together."

"Ahh

Liu Niang was surprised. The young owner wants to eat with the hired workers?

She has worked as a cook with many owners, and she has never seen a single owner willing to eat with a hired person. Isn't this self-deprecation?

But Ning Xiu didn't have much to say, so she answered lightly and continued to cook.

After a short time, the meals were all ready, Liu Niang took out four large pots and put the dishes into them, and brought a large pot of fragrant rice over to wipe the sweat on her forehead.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

Liu Niang shouted at the top of her voice, and the hired workers cheered.

Meal time is the happiest time of the day.

Although other owners sometimes take care of the rice, it is actually gruel and pickles, and they can't eat enough at all.

Ke Ning's family is different, not only has fragrant white rice, but also four dishes and one soup, this day is like a fairy.

Liu Niang brought out four pots of stir-fried vegetables, a pot of rice, and a pot of pimple soup one by one, and distributed dishes and chopsticks to everyone, then put away her apron and said with a smile: "You are blessed today, the young owner wants to eat with you." ”

"Sister-in-law Liu, what are you talking about? The young owner wants to eat with us? ”

"Sister-in-law Liu, you're not bluffing, are you? How could such a noble person from the Shaodong family have dinner with us bitter haha? ”

Liu Niang saw that these fools didn't believe it, so she was a little anxious.

"What am I lying to you, see for yourself, isn't the young owner here?"

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Liu Niang, and saw Ning Xiu walking towards them with a pair of dishes and chopsticks smiling, and they were dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Ning Xiu was holding the dishes and chopsticks and sitting around the small table like them that everyone exclaimed: "Young Dongjia, how can this make us, we are all vulgar people, don't stain your clothes." ”

Ning Xiu's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "What kind of vulgar people are not vulgar people, since the Ning family has hired you, you are the workers of my Ning family." Ning is also from a poor family, where is there so much exquisiteness. You eat by your own skill, and no one will look down on you. From now on, no one who wants to work in the Ning family is allowed to look down on themselves! ”
