Ye Qing felt that although these power generation things were shocking here, she would think of a proper way.

In the future, there will always be a simple and practical generator suitable for use in the manor, but it will not make the ancients unacceptable.

Ye Qing thought as he returned to Zhuangzi with a large oxcart of vegetables and pork.

As soon as the carriage entered the Zhuangzi, it was seen by the old butler who was sitting in the gatehouse.

Qian Laifu parked the carriage at the door, and Dongyun helped Ye Mei and them get out of the carriage.

As soon as the old butler came over, he looked at her eagerly and said, "Young lady, you are here." It just so happens that the helpers have finished their work for the day, and the old slave will tell you about their situation now.

A total of 566 helpers were recruited for this trip, including 320 men, 180 women, and 66 half-sized workers.

Ma Sanniang from that line said that there were more people than you and her booked, because many people heard that our Zhuangzi was well treated, and they all wanted to come, so she recruited all of them for you, and half of the children were counted separately.

Ma Sanniang said that these people are all selected according to your requirements, and they are all honest and hard-working.

Today, the big guys are really working hard, and they don't want to rest much at noon.

Or the old slave forced them to go home after lunch and rest for an hour, young lady, it's not the old slave who praises you.

In the whole world, there is no owner who can feed the helpers at noon and rest for so long. And they all said, "Thou art righteous." ”

After speaking, the old housekeeper also respectfully gave Ye Qing a salute.

made Ye Qing's face slightly red, in her opinion, this is the most basic employment requirement.

In the future, these helpers would have to do ten hours of hard work every day, but in the eyes of the ancients, her approach was benevolence, righteousness, and virtue.

However, of course, she will not be so stupid as to treat these people with the employment methods of later generations, otherwise she will really become an outlier.

Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Old housekeeper, take me to the kitchen." ”

Qian Duoduo also came out while talking, and as soon as he saw Ye Qing, he complained: "Young lady, you are here."

I've been here for a day helping the old housekeeper today, and you don't know, they're working so hard that two of them are suffering from heat stroke at noon.

Fortunately, there is a boiled Huoxiang mint soup potion that you specially prepared, otherwise it would be enough to choke a few times a day. ”

Ye Qing nodded slightly, and said to him in a straight voice: "I said earlier, the sun is big at noon, so you should pay attention to rest and prevent heatstroke."

Later, when the sun was shining, everyone who worked outside had to put on a hat to protect him from the sun.

There are also those who ask the cook to prepare mung bean soup and summer soup enough, and you can eat some to relieve the heat when you are tired from work. ”

"Young lady, besides, I can't run here alone.

There are too many people, you don't think it should be to get 10 stewards to come out and let them work for half a day, and by the way, take care of those people. Qian Duoduo suggested.

Ye Qing touched his chin and thought for a while, before he said: "This idea is good, this is good, you will go and announce it to them in a while, pick 10 leaders to come out, and each leader will be responsible for the helpers under his hands."

If there is a dispute or any other situation, let them go to the leader to solve it first, and if they can't solve it, they will find you and the old housekeeper to solve it. ”

"Okay, I'll go ahead and talk about it." Qian Duoduo took the order and left.

The gatekeeper of the manor also came over, and soon led Ye Qing into the small courtyard where their family lived.

The yard was cleaned up, and a large kitchen with a grass shed was built at the back of the yard according to Ye Qing's requirements, with five separate large stoves in it, and five cauldrons with a diameter of three and a half feet were set up on it, and now there were full cauldrons of dishes.

Ye Qing glanced at it and found that it was stewed pork slices with Chinese cabbage, and some sweet potato vermicelli.

In addition, there are a lot of sliced pumpkins piled up on the board, as well as eggplants and peppers soaked in water.

It seems that today's dinner dishes are these three things, it looks quite simple, Ye Qing turned his head and asked, "Cook these for dinner, do you have any opinions?" Is it enough to eat? ”

A chubby woman in her forties came over, greeted Ye Qing, and first introduced herself as Li Chunhua.

Cai smiled and said: "How can the big guy have an opinion, these dishes are good enough, usually not during the festival, how many times can they eat such good meat."

What's more, Madam, you are kind and righteous so that the big guys can eat meat at once, and they are already very satisfied and grateful to you. ”

Ye Qing looked at the steamed rice again and asked, "Is the rice enough to eat?" ”

"If Mrs. Hui is concerned, according to your instructions, one bowl of rice will be given to each person, and one big steamed bun and one bowl of soup will be given to each person. This kind of dinner is enough for them. ”

"Did the big guy use the bowl I bought?" Ye Qing asked.

"It's all the bowls you brought over to number, and in the morning, each of our helpers received a wooden number plate of their own, and then took a bowl with the same number plate to fill the rice.

The old housekeeper said that in the future, we will let us use this bowl alone. I would like to thank you for this kind of good thing. ”

Ye Qing smiled and waved her hand, a few days ago she ordered more than a thousand large rice bowls, each of which was about the same size as the bowl for vegetables, equal to two ordinary rice bowls.

But the ancients had a large amount of food, and Ye Qing was afraid that they would not have enough to eat, so everyone added a big steamed bun, an old steamed bun the size of a man's palm.

They are all made with two-two-three noodles, and if Ye Qing eats it, he can only eat half of it.

"You're doing a good job, and if someone doesn't think they have enough to eat, just give him more food. Don't save me either, make sure everyone is fed.

If the rice and noodles and vegetables are not enough, let the old housekeeper send someone to the town to buy them and deliver them. After Ye Qing finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he should get two purchases, using a person around him and a person with great strength.

She lowered her head and pondered for a while, and decided to arrange for the third aunt to do this, and then let Dabao help her.

After coming back to his senses, Ye Qing turned around the kitchen again, and then said to Dong Yun and Dong Ling behind him: "You two stay here to help, and you will also help the big guy share the meal for a while, and today we will have the same meal as the big guy, and then go back after eating." ”

"Yes, young lady." Dong Yun and Dong Ling immediately went to wash their hands and prepared to help chop vegetables.

Ye Qing asked the fat cook Li Chunhua again, "Aunt Li, where is the place where you put vegetables, meat and rice noodles?" ”

"I'll take you to the side room in front."

"Hmm." Ye Qing followed Li Chunhua there and let her go first.

She went into the house alone, looked around, and found that all the vegetables and fruits she had bought had been put in, and the pork, which was easily perishable, had been brought into the kitchen.

Ye Qing paced around the room and pondered, this summer's meat is indeed easy to spoil, it seems that she has to let someone dig a cellar here.

When the time comes, the cellar will be converted into an ice storehouse, which can preserve the meat.

In addition, the kind of desert refrigerator should also be made by Qian Laifu's nephew as soon as possible.

In the future, it is easy to store these vegetables, so you don't have to ask someone to deliver a batch of vegetables every day.

There is also a part of the pork and lamb produced in the space and put it in the ice cellar to add dishes to the big guy.

After a while, Ye Qing put down some space here, rice, cabbage and radish, walked out of the house, and then went directly to the place where the helpers were staying outside to take a look.

Twenty large sheds were set up here temporarily, and in each shed there were seven or eight round tables and benches, in which the helpers sat and waited for food.

When everyone saw Ye Qing coming over, they all got up to salute, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Sit down, big guys, I don't have much to say, as long as everyone works hard every day."

When the meal starts for a while, you don't have to crowd, don't scramble, and rest assured that there will be no shortage of food for you in the future. ”

"Good!" A group of people agreed loudly.

At noon, they had already eaten a meal, and they were surprised to see that the owner actually gave them wild boar.

There has never been a big family that has hired helpers to do the work, and has given so much meat to eat, and it is wild boar.

So at noon they were full, and many of them worked very hard in the afternoon, and there were originally 500 people digging fruit trees, and at most more than 1,000 in one afternoon.

But they dug up more than 2,500 trees, which is equivalent to five trees in one person.

This is digging trees, not cutting down trees, but digging out all the roots, which shows how hard they worked.

There are more than 30 fruit trees in one acre of land, and they dig up 100 acres of fruit trees in one day, and it is estimated that they can dig up the fruit trees in 800 acres of orchards in less than a week.

Five hundred helpers, more than twenty craftsmen. The rest are children, and Ye Qing arranged for these children to be responsible for lighting the fire, delivering water, washing vegetables, and helping the cooks clean up after eating.

Children are paid half of their wages for 2 meals, and many people in the village want to send their half-grown children over.

It's a pity that Ye Qing is afraid too much and it's not easy to manage.

It's a pity that they don't take too many children anymore.

However, Ye Qing's approach makes people who have children who can work here very grateful, and at noon there are children who go home to rest, and those people say that Ye Qing is a benevolent and righteous person wherever they go in the afternoon.

It also makes more people believe that working in Yejiazhuang can really eat well, and they will get paid.

Some people who have a labor force at home want to come here to find work.

There was already a wave of questioning in the afternoon, but unfortunately Ye Qing said that he had recruited enough helpers, and the old housekeeper did not accept them anymore.

There are too many helpers, which is not only troublesome in management, but also prone to other problems.

At present, this number is the most ideal, everyone has work to do, and they are also supervised.

This number is like the number of people in an ordinary middle school, and the cooks are easy to arrange in terms of food.

Ye Qing no longer plans to recruit people, unless someone in a particularly difficult situation asks for them.

Otherwise, there is no need to add trouble.
