Chapter Sixty-Seven: Getting Better

Liu Man'er learned from the factories of later generations, and paid them according to their work, this ancient job was originally very difficult to find, most people went to find some work in the pulp washing clothes, but this kind of work is tiring and hurtful, and the money earned is still small, but Rao is so, there are still many people who want to rush to do it, after all, money is difficult to earn, and it is idle at home.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Man'er said that she wanted to open this small handicraft workshop, many people came to ask, but Liu Man'er asked Fang's to help screen it, and some people with unclean hands and feet, bad conduct, and lazy work did not want it.

Everyone has lived in the village for so many years, what kind of character is the general person, although they don't say it, but everyone knows it, but although the Fang clan knows, they are a little afraid of offending people.

Liu Man'er felt that this was indeed a trouble, after all, they were all from the same village, and if you look up and don't look down, you just say that people can't do it, that's not good, isn't it.

So she thought of a way and conducted an assessment, which is naturally not needlework, just a little needlework, many people can be patient and sew two stitches.

Liu Man'er knew that everyone who came could needlework, but she asked Ye Yuan to take out those rough and unformed wooden beads for them to polish.

This is a job that tests patience, Ye Yuan has to polish a wooden bead for a long time every time, and he is fast, if you are like these women, it will definitely take a long time to polish.

Most women with long tongues spend all their energy on chewing the root of their tongues, naturally they don't have this patience, but some are patient, because they keep talking, their spirits run out of their mouths, and the things that come out are not round.

In this way, Liu Man'er has a reason to eliminate them, presumably they themselves have nothing to say, if the legend is not good, but there is patience to polish these wooden beads, Liu Man'er will leave them, and then let them help polish the wooden beads, if they have been performing well, it is not too late to let them do something else.

Using this method, Liu Man'er chose the person she wanted, and then she wronged Ye He to sleep in a room with the Fang family first, and cleaned up her room to make a small workshop, which was used as a simple workplace for these women.

Ye He's room was originally very simple, she was young, and she didn't have a lot of things, so she quickly cleaned it up, the little girl was very sensible, and she didn't complain, but Liu Man'er promised to prepare a big room for her when she made money.

The workshop was established, and it was still billed according to work, Liu Man'er divided the things she had to do into several processes, she calculated the money she could sell, the cost of planing, etc., and calculated the price for each process, such as how much it cost to sew a sachet and so on.

Of course, now that there are more people, the wages she gives are not as high as before, but she has calculated them to ensure that these women can earn at least a dozen yuan if they work hard every day, but the country people are generally diligent, and many people get twenty yuan on the first day.

For the countryside, this is a lot of money, and these women have no place to make money on weekdays, if they can earn twenty yuan a day, won't they be able to earn half a tael of silver a month?

In this way, there will be an income of five taels of silver a year.

Liu Man'er gave them the first three days of the daily settlement, and then gave them ten days to settle the settlement, she originally wanted the monthly settlement, but she didn't know how long she could sell these things, just every ten days, she was going to the county seat, investigate the market, and from time to time to see the money, these people will be more motivated to work.

After doing it for so long, Liu Man'er wants to make more and more things, and even big dolls, she has begun to design.

Many people want to know what Liu Man'er is doing, but Liu Man'er doesn't plan to tell them that there are too many people, the apprentices of the church starve to death of the master, and there is no patent here.

So every time she thinks of something, she is ready to let the trusted Aunt Chunhua's family do the last few molding processes.

As for the last step, it is all done by herself, this flower sample is the finishing touch, if there is no pattern, even if it is good-looking, it is always a little too plain.

In the past, when he came back from hunting every day, he had to draw things, Ye Yuan felt a little sorry for her, and every night when he saw her staying up late to make these things, he blamed himself a little, so he would help Liu Man'er prepare hot water and use a hot towel to compress her wrists.

Now that the small workshop has opened, there are countless things to be painted, Liu Man'er paints things every day until his hands are sore, Ye Yuan is distressed when he sees it, but he can't help.

Other people won't, the main thing is that she is a little worried, if she doesn't paint well, or if there is too much ink, then the whole sachet or doll will be all wasted, Liu Man'er is a little reluctant.

So in the past few days, she began to let Ye He learn to paint, and she could help her when the time came.

Ye Yuan has been hunting less recently, Liu Man'er instructs him to come and go every day, there are too many things to do, and occasionally he has to go to the county seat to see the sales and build a good relationship with those shopkeepers.

Nowadays, Liu Maner is both a manufacturer and a distributor, don't look at the things that are not made every day, but there are many things.

Many shopkeepers have sold out of things, and they still want to buy them but they have no place, and it is not worth it to go to the countryside for this little thing, so they can only send Ye Yuanchang to take a look.

However, the hard work during this period of time is also worth it, Liu Man'er's property has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in just over a month, he has earned more than thirty taels of silver during this time, plus the money he earned before, a total of fifty taels of silver.

With money, Liu Man'er remembered to buy land, but she wanted to open a small shop in the county seat, and then she also wanted to buy a horse for Ye Yuan, but at present, there is only so much money, which is really a tangled matter.

Finally, I thought about it, it is better to buy land first, and then buy a horse if there is a balance of money, so that if it is placed in ancient times, it can be regarded as a good family with a house and a car.

As for buying a shop, Liu Man'er is not in a hurry, she doesn't have many products designed now, and it is quite suitable to put them in these shops, which is better than selling it herself.

Another reason is that there is a serious shortage of manpower in the family, and even if you buy a shop, there is no one to manage it.

Because of the lack of manpower, Liu Man'er wanted to buy a few people to help with the work, I heard that the people of this era are not expensive, it seems that a few taels of silver can be bought.

But now the house has not been built, even if it is bought, there is no place for people to live, Liu Man'er is a hedonistic person in her bones, and there is no idea that everyone is equal, but after all, she has gone through higher education, since she has bought a subordinate, she naturally has to treat others well, let her be the kind of housewife who either beats and scolds her subordinates, she still can't do it.

It's like asking someone to work, even in the later generations, those who have money don't hire a lot of servants to help with the work.

But I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so take my time step by step.

It's almost summer, and there are more and more things at home, these chickens and ducks have grown up, and they are noisy in the backyard every day, and the rabbits raised by Liu Man'er also gave birth to rabbits, and Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to make a nest for these rabbits again, and two sheep, so they were locked in the backyard and let them run around and graze.

But Fang's is both loving and hating these two sheep, what he loves is that it produces milk, and now after drinking milk, this little Tianchen is becoming more and more flexible, and can already stand up, and even occasionally speak, will call grandma, mother, and father.

What I hate is that these two sheep walk around the land every day and eat all the vegetables she grows.

But there is no way, there is no manpower in the family to herd the sheep, only to take the way of free-range, they love it, anyway, the courtyard door is closed, the sheep can't run out.

Liu Man'er bought two more geese to come to see the house, these two geese are very fierce, every day they walk around the yard with their heads held high, they manage the yard raising, chickens and ducks, etc., these poultry see this goose and run.

Sometimes Liu Man'er would come out for a walk after painting, look at the poultry, listen to what they were thinking, if they were hungry, she would give them something to eat, if they were sick, she would check what was going on, and if they were bored, Liu Man'er would let them out for a walk.

Of course, these poultry don't speak, they don't have much thought, most of them just play when they are full, and all they think about is some food and drink problems.

But the two sheep think more, especially the milked sheep, every time they cry out in pain, Liu Man'er will try to lighten it, and reward it with good food.

Although none of the birds understood Liu Man'er's words, and Liu Man'er didn't know whether she was right to perceive the meaning of these animals' expressions, she thought that her talent should be fine, and she felt that she could know their general thoughts through the emotions conveyed by their calls and expressions.

In this world, there are many magical things, her hearing is so good, she can be more sensitive than ordinary people, it is not a magical thing.

So she was comfortable every day, and occasionally came over to reprimand them, and when Fang saw it, he said to Ye Yuan: "Look, Man'er, she is talking to these animals again. ”

"She said that animals have spirits, and she said she could understand them, so she was left to go." Ye Yuan didn't care.

"But it's also strange, there used to be vines, and the poultry I raised couldn't survive, but now she raises them herself, but she takes good care of these chickens and ducks, and we have so many chickens and ducks, and only one died this year, which is also strange."

Fang Shi said, while also a little happy, this farmer raising chickens and ducks is always difficult to feed, usually several will die, sometimes these chickens and ducks get sick, a large number of deaths are also a common thing, Liu Man'er raised so much, only one died, this is indeed a thing worthy of praise.

"In the past, I thought that the eldest lady in our village was an expert in raising chickens, and she took good care of these chickens and ducks every year, but now it seems that our family is also an expert in raising chickens and ducks." Fang said with Ye Yuan.

"Yes, she said that she was the king of these animals, and these chickens and ducks had to listen to her, and she didn't let them die, and they didn't dare to die." Ye Yuan also talked to Fang's family.
