Chapter 104: New Clothes
Looking at this brand new set of clothes in his hand, the three donkeys left tears in their eyes.
Growing up, he didn't wear a single new dress.
Before he was five or six years old, he spent most of the year naked, and only later did he begin to pick up his brother's clothes to wear.
Sometimes, his grandfather, eldest brother, and second brother all wore a piece of clothing, and when it was his turn to be here, it was already patch after patch, and it was in tatters.
The desire to have a new dress of his own has long been buried in Sandonkey's heart, and it has become something he desires extremely much.
It's a pity that although the family has worked very hard, the family's money and food are not enough every year, and even worse than before.
The desire to wear new clothes can only be buried in the heart all the time, and it becomes unattainable.
And now, Brother Cheng has given him a new set of clothes!
And in order not to hurt his face, he deliberately said that he grew too fast and couldn't wear it......
Through the hazy teary eyes, looking at Brother Cheng who was smiling at himself, and grinning like when he was herding cattle and sheep together that day, he was grinning silly, and then looking at the brand-new clothes in his hand, something kept churning in the hearts of the three donkeys......
However, the three donkeys were not willing to wear this new dress.
After going back, people who don't like to take baths on weekdays washed their bodies carefully and carefully, and their bodies were red.
Standing by the river and carefully unfolding the new clothes and putting them on their bodies, the three donkeys looked at the river for a long time, and the smile on their faces could not be hidden.
After looking at it like this for a while, he took off the new clothes again, put them on tattered old clothes, folded the new clothes neatly, and carried them to the house with both hands, and put them away cherished.
Although he was still wearing the old clothes that had brought him a lot of inferiority complex and injury, the state of the three donkeys was completely different from before.
Because, he also has a new outfit! I just put it there and didn't wear it!
After putting away the new clothes at home and telling Ah Niang what happened today, the three donkeys did not follow Ah Niang's advice to rest at home for one night and leave tomorrow, but chose to set off from home immediately and go to Qingque Village.
Because he had heard from those who had been recruited with him in the salt works that the production of salt would begin tomorrow.
This salt farm is the salt farm of Cheng Ge'er's family, and salt making is to do things with Cheng Ge'er, and Cheng Ge'er treats himself so well, he can't delay Cheng Ge'er's work.
The westerly sun stretched the figure of the little boy walking briskly in the fields, making him suddenly taller......
The matter of salt was very urgent, and there was no delay, so after the preliminary construction of the salt factory was completed and a group of workers were recruited, the production began immediately.
The people of Qingque Village had been making salt for a few days before the large-scale construction of the salt factory began, and they were already familiar with the matter of salt production.
Therefore, Han Chengcheng arranged according to the previous plan, and let an old man from Qingque Village bring a few new workers to work.
The old man and the newcomer can quickly let these people who have not boiled salt have a preliminary understanding of what they need to do and what to do, so that they can enter the state as quickly as possible and contribute to the great cause of salt production.
If you want to improve production efficiency, division of labor and cooperation is a very good way.
The matter of the salt field Han Chengcheng came according to this method.
Pick a group of able-bodied people and let them beat the salt ore and smash it into powder, and the weaker people let them do things like filtration.
Those who are weaker or less old, such as the three donkeys, are responsible for boiling the fire and salt.
Of course, there is also someone to do the bookkeeping.
People who are literate and hyphenated, and also know how to keep accounts, are very rare compared to the total population of this era, and it is difficult to recruit.
And even if it is easy to recruit, Han Cheng does not plan to recruit from the outside, he comes from the later generations, and he has a very clear understanding of the importance of the account room.
In today's era, in this matter, we must be cautious in the choice of the accounting room, and it is best to choose someone you trust or know the roots.
There are no such people around Han Cheng, but there is no shortage of them on Li Jing's side, so it is easy to get two people to be responsible for bookkeeping here in the salt farm.
After looking at the way these two people kept accounts, Han Cheng felt that he could do such a task by himself.
Because these two act as bookkeepers, they are all running accounts, and this bookkeeping method is not difficult at all for Han Cheng, a person who has received systematic education, and it is not difficult at all compared with the double-entry bookkeeping method that he once learned, 'there must be loans, and loans must be equal'.
However, Han Cheng was just thinking about it this way, he still had some other things to do, and it was impossible for him to only act as a bookkeeper in the salt pan in the future.
However, this double-entry bookkeeping, after slowly recalling it, can teach the two accounting offices and let the two of them lose their hair as well......
With so many people working here, they need to eat a lot of food every day, so it is certain that there are special people to cook for them.
You don't have to look outside to find it, just the women of Qingque Village are enough.
Although the social atmosphere at this time was much more open than those of the later dynasties, there were some differences between men and women after all, especially after the recruits were all men, and it was even more difficult for these women in Qingque Village to mix and work in it.
But they had the rest of the things to do, such as cooking, such as arresting some fish and shrimp and selling them to the salt works.
These can also be regarded as some of the benefits that Han has obtained by becoming a member of Qingque Village.
Of course, this is only for now, and when the production scale of the salt factory is expanded, or after the establishment of other factories, Han Cheng will consider letting women participate in it.
As a later generation, Han Cheng has never dared to despise women, and has great respect, on the one hand, because he has female relatives, and on the other hand, he has seen many women who can hold up half the sky.
Of course, this kind of respect does not include the kind of people who talk about women first when they encounter good things, let people talk about gentlemanly style when they encounter bad things, and often talk about whether they are still men or not.
Stimulated by wages and good treatment, there was a sense of urgency in producing salt earlier and solving the salt shortage earlier, and these people in the salt works were not ambiguous at all.
On the first day, more than 6,300 catties of salt were produced, and Li Jing was so happy that he rushed over with his beautiful daughter on the first day of construction.
