Chapter 173: Qingwen is outstanding
After walking around the construction site for a while, I went out through another door and entered the living quarters.
"Qingwen, tell you about the food and accommodation of our craftsmen and laborers here. Ladies and gentlemen, this girl is just a maid, and she is not sensible, so please don't laugh if she doesn't say it well. ”
A maid? yes, whose young lady can come to such a place to show her face?
But she's just a teenage girl, what can she say?
is a favored maid, you Jia Zheng can't use her to fool us, right?
Zhou Shilang and Zheng Bu muttered in their hearts.
Hearing that the Zhou and Zheng families were coming to visit, Jia Zheng asked Jia Rui to discuss the reception.
According to the meaning of Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, Jia Rui explained the whole process.
Jia Rui can certainly explain that this set of systems and procedures was designed by him, and he is actually the most suitable person.
But Jia Rui put forward another plan, that is, to ask Jia Huan, Qingwen, Lin Zhixiao, and Zhang Hua to explain separately.
The purpose is to show the talents of the Jia family in an all-round way, and tell the guests that even if I am a teenage master, a maid, or even a housekeeper in Jiafu, they are all talents, and if you take out one casually, you can take charge of it alone.
Jia Rui's ability, Zhou and Zheng basically understand it, no matter how good it is, others think it should be, and it can't have a surprising winning effect.
Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen felt that this was also the case, and after Jia Rui assured Jia Huan that they could talk well, they agreed to Jia Rui's plan.
They are actually more willing than Jia Rui to show that the Jia family has talents.
Qingwen was originally bold and not timid, she was familiar with the business, and she got Jia Rui's guidance, and she was willing to show herself in front of everyone, so she said it generously.
"This is the food and lodging area for craftsmen and laborers, and there are currently 321 people living there. The East Courtyard is the men's section, with a total of 270 people. The West Courtyard is a women's district, with a total of 51 people. ”
Then I went into the dormitory.
As soon as they entered, the guests' eyes lit up.
Although it is a Chase shop inside, the ground is clean, and the luggage on the shop is neatly placed, and the stacks are roughly square above.
What makes people feel special is that the luggage and pillows are relatively clean, and there is no smell in the house.
"Even craftsmen and laborers, the place where they live should be clean and tidy, not only good-looking, but also not easy to get sick."
"Every day there was someone on duty to clean the grounds and the courtyard. Bedding and clothing should be washed regularly. Every day we have to check and supervise. ”
After reading it in the dormitory, I went to the cafeteria.
I saw that the place was also clean, the tables, chairs and tableware were neatly arranged, and the women who cooked were all wearing white clothes and hats.
"Why do you wear white clothes and white hats?"
Zheng Tianlun asked.
"One is to show identity, uniformity. The second is the most important, the white color is easy to get dirty, and you can see it at a glance. This requires them to wash their clothes frequently and keep them clean and tidy at all times. ”
"When they are clean, the food they cook can be clean, in order to prevent the disease from entering the mouth."
"As for wearing hats, it's to prevent hair from falling out and falling into the food."
The guests looked at each other in disbelief. But look at the hangers by the wall, there are still a lot of white clothes hanging on them, all of them are worn, and they don't seem to be pretending.
"Craftsmen and laborers eat as much as they want, and they can eat as much as they want."
"There is a meal of meat every two days, at least three taels per person each time, and a meal of fish every three days, as well as tofu and eggs."
"Adults may be asking, wouldn't it cost more to eat like this?"
"It's going to cost a little more, but it depends on how the account is calculated."
"Although I spend more money, I eat well, I eat well, I am in a good mood, I work hard, I am not fooled, I have strength, and I don't suffer a loss in general."
"If they don't eat well, they will have resentment in their hearts, they will be lazy and slippery, and they will drop a brick for a while, and a tile for a while, no matter how many of us there are, we can't stand it."
Qingwen is beautiful, articulate, and has a charming voice, and everything she says is the truth, and everyone nods frequently.
Jia Rui saw Qingwen's performance, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
The little girl is out of breath, a little bit like the president of Bai Fumei.
In front of a few baskets of eggs, Zhou Shilang and Zheng Bu stopped.
"This egg is also for the craftsmen?"
"It's hard-boiled eggs, one per person."
"Oh? Why don't you fry it? ”
"Of course, you can fry it. But this also has a drawback, that is, it is easy to divide unevenly, and it is difficult to find out if the chefs deduct some of them. ”
"Each person is given one, and with a number, you can't do anything in it, everyone can get it. One for each person, and the distribution is even. No one resented. ”
The group arrived at the cauldron again, and the dish in the pot was stewed with meat and tofu.
I just ate a meat dish yesterday, and under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be a meat dish today.
Because of the visit, a meat dish was added temporarily.
"Is this dish also casual to eat?"
Zhou Shilang asked again.
"You can't just eat this, one spoonful per person, it's also a big bowl."
"My craftsmen and laborers often fight over the division of vegetables, just because of the uneven distribution, is it the same here for you?"
Zhou Shilang asked.
"No, we've never been in a fight over this."
Why is that? Do you all know how to be humble and courteous? ”
"No, in fact, it is also calculating, and the people here are not necessarily more humble than your people."
"Then why not fight?"
This kind of group meal, quarrels and even fights due to the uneven distribution of meals, is almost commonplace. Zhou Shilang couldn't imagine any way to avoid this phenomenon.
He was skeptical of Qingwen's statement that she never fought.
"Actually, it's simple, it's just how to divide it."
"But the people who divide the dishes always want to divide more for themselves. He is close and thin, thin and thick. Even if it is a different person, it is difficult to avoid human feelings. ”
Qingwen smiled.
"That's still not the right division."
"How do you divide it?"
"A team of twenty people, it's all the same big bowl. One person divides the dishes, divides them first, others take them first, and the one who divides the dishes takes them last. ”
"The one who takes it first naturally wants to take more. If the distribution is uneven, the last remaining will naturally be the least. ”
"People who divide food are afraid that they will get the least, so they will try to divide them evenly. lest you suffer yourself. ”
"Today you share, tomorrow I share, everyone takes turns to divide the dishes. In this way, they will be divided as evenly as possible, even if there is some unevenness, but there is also very little difference. ”
After Qingwen finished speaking, everyone immediately fell silent.
Hey, that's true. It turned out that such a simple method solved the old and difficult problem.
Who came up with such a brilliant idea?
Looking at the appearance of everyone, Qingwen was very proud.
Seeing Jia Rui looking at her, he threw Jia Rui a flattering look.
Master, your trick is really clever. Since this division of food, no one has fought or quarreled anymore.
This move was indeed Jia Rui's idea. This is also the basic idea of what he is doing now.
Of course, he wants to make some inventions, but the current level of science and technology and the industrial base greatly limit his ability in this area.
Without the power of electricity and steam engines, and without the mother machine, how easy is it to engage in invention and creation?
But that doesn't mean inaction.
Using advanced concepts, integrating existing resources, and innovating in the system, there are still a lot of articles to do, and they can also receive surprising results.
