When the wool is sheared from the sheep, it is called "oil wool", which contains oil and impurities, and has a strong odor, so the wool cannot be woven, and the wool washing process is the first step to be done in the weaving workshop.

Later generations had a washing machine, several sinks one by one rinsing, heating, adding detergent, this set of processes is done, grease and impurities are removed, and then dried, it becomes clean wool, white and loose.

In Dawei, there is naturally no such washing machine, all processes have to be completed by manpower, the process is cumbersome and boring, and you have to have strength, such a position is not easy to recruit people in modern society, but in Qin'an County, if He Wan does not limit gender, there is no worry about recruiting people - Qin'an County is poor and remote, ordinary people have no way to make money, they are busy all year round and ask for food and clothing, it is good to fill their stomachs, as for silver or something, they have heard of it, but they have not touched it, and they have not owned it.

Not seeing "living money" is the general status quo of the people in Qin'an.

However, He Wan's weaving workshop only needs female workers, which is more troublesome.

The jobs provided by the weaving mill, the people were cautious at first, paying wages, food and housing, to let the female dependents of their families sell themselves into slavery?

The people in the northwest are fierce, and the defense of men and women is not as serious as in the Central Plains, Rao is like this, many families are still unwilling to let their female dependents come out to earn money, and the faces of the men in the family can't be hung up, for fear of being laughed at by women to raise.

So these jobs should be available to men!

Some people who wanted to come to work couldn't see He Wan, so they went to Shao Dahu to plead for mercy.

Shao Dahu also asked He Wan, He Wan insisted that female workers are more suitable for the fine operation of the weaving workshop, Shao Dahu can provide land to build a weaving workshop, and can provide some raw materials, but he doesn't know anything about wool textile technology, plus he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, because of Cheng Qing, Shao Dahu is in charge of He Wan.

Anyway, male and female workers are recruited to work the same, and female workers eat less, so they don't lose anything.

And if He Wan has never been able to recruit female workers, she will still compromise in the end, and there is no need for Shao Dahu to argue with He Wan.

Shao Dahu's son Shao Bao is a crying bag, that's because Shao Bao is too well protected and overspoiled. As for Shao Dahu himself, if he is really as honest as he seems, it is impossible to keep his huge family business in the northwest, where the people are strong!

Shao Dahu did this, Cheng Qing was not uncomfortable, this person did not leave He Wan when his future was unknown, even if he was responsible, it was the local people who made Cheng Qing cry and laugh: "I can't go on, do I still want to save face?" I see so many female workers in the weaving workshop, where did you find them? ”

He Wan thought about it and felt that it wasn't all about face.

If women can make money, their status at home and in society will improve, many men do not necessarily understand this truth, but they reject this change from the bottom of their hearts - men can do business, can be officials, can be a partner and be a shopkeeper, if women can do these things, why should marriage and children be the only way out?

To do all this, as Cheng Qing said before, there is a long way to go!

He Wan sighed, pointed to a female worker in brown clothes in the courtyard and said, "I didn't recruit it, it was brought by this Chang lady." Chang Niangzi's husband died, leaving three children, and no one in her mother's family could make the decision for her, her mother-in-law closed the door and wanted Chang Niangzi to remarry the little uncle, the little uncle was an idler who stole chickens and dogs, and when Chang Niangzi's husband was sick in bed, this little uncle dared to tease Chang Niangzi, and Chang Niangzi naturally didn't want to marry. ”

Chang Niangzi didn't want to get married, and the little uncle at night touched Chang Niangzi's room and was scared away by Chang Niangzi with scissors and forced to die. After this scene, Chang Niangzi was even more willing to die than remarry the uncle, the mother-in-law was embarrassed to force Chang Niangzi to comply, and thought of a way to separate from Chang Niangzi, so that Chang Niangzi could raise three children by herself, a broken house, and no livestock were divided.

Chang Niangzi is indeed desperate, and she has the idea of seeking death, but she is reluctant to have three children.

Mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a few days in the broken house, spring ploughing came, Chang Niangzi went to the ground with a hoe alone, her hands were full of blisters, and she barely sorted out more than half of the field.

Chang Niangzi hoes the ground, the youngest of the three children is only three years old, and they all know that they help their mothers move soil in the field.

If Chang Niangzi is ruthless enough, leaving her three children and remarrying by herself is also a way out.

However, the mother-in-law's family is so bad, Chang Niangzi is afraid that her mother-in-law will abuse the child after she remarries...... Chang Niangzi dragged her tired body, returned to the broken house, took out the only food at home, let the three children eat a full meal, boiled water to bathe the children, and changed into clean clothes that will only be worn during the New Year.

Hearing this, Cheng Qing already knew Chang Niangzi's plan.

Chang Niangzi, who was wearing brown clothes, was among the female workers at this time, rolling up her sleeves to wash wool, I don't know what the worker next to her said, Chang Niangzi showed a shallow smile.

She is said to be a mother of three children, but she is actually in her twenties.

This has to be put aside from the era before Cheng Qing traveled, or only at the age of falling in love and not wanting to get married, in Dawei, Chang Niangzi has to ruthlessly take her children to seek death together.

Now Chang Niangzi is still working in the weaving workshop, so naturally she didn't die.

On the second day of Chang Niangzi's collapse, He Wan sent people to the countryside to promote the weaving workshop to recruit workers, and happened to arrive at Chang Niangzi's village.

Chang Niangzi heard that there is a place to eat and live, and pay wages, it is really a drowning person who grabbed the straw that saved his life.

A person is not even afraid of death, is he still afraid of selling himself into slavery?

Without waiting for the recruiter to finish reading the work deed, Chang Niangzi rushed to press the handprint.

"She didn't ask how much she was paid, she only made one request, whether she could live with the children, and said that the children would have a bed with her, and would not take up extra beds."

He Wan naturally agreed to this request.

After listening to Chang Niangzi's difficulties, she asked Chang Niangzi to leave the child in the village, isn't that to let the in-laws' family continue to pinch Chang Niangzi's weakness, even if they make money from work, they still have to be obediently handed over to their in-laws.

He Wan not only agreed with Chang Niangzi to bring the child, but also gave Chang Niangzi an idea to rent the family's field to the same village to plant, and she didn't have to go back to the village at ordinary times, so her mother-in-law's family naturally had no chance to harass Chang Niangzi.

Cheng Qing nodded, "You are buying bones with a thousand gold, although you are far from spending a thousand gold, that's what it means." ”

He Wan did not deny it.

can help a poor person, and can also break the deadlock that the weaving workshop can't recruit female workers, He Wan is killing two birds with one stone!
