Chapter 152: The Doll Factory Begins
Fang Cancan shook his head, "Forget it, let's wait!" Maybe Han Rong will be back in a few days. ”
Han Fuda nodded, and could only wait patiently.
Because the doll factory has not moved, the village has slowly become a little unpleasant, saying that Han Fuda is thundering and raining, and it seems to be very good at first, but everyone is shaken.
Li Zheng is also a little worried, seeing that this doll factory has been built for a long time, why is there no movement, it can't be something, right? He wanted to ask, but he was worried that if he went, the people in the village would completely suspect Han Fuda and them.
So you can only endure it, give the people in the village an illusion, and you are stable, and there must be no problem with this matter.
They also knew the rumors in the village, Han Fuda, Fang Cancan ignored it, who said those words, she knew, the doll factory only needs women with good craftsmanship, although most of the people in the village work here.
But there are always some people who are not good at needlework, naturally they can't work here, and if they can't make money, these people are just red-eyed, and they must be eager to do this doll factory completely.
Wang Wenle's family and Fang Xing'an's family couldn't get angry when they heard these words, so Fang Cancan comforted them, "Don't worry so much, as soon as Li Hanrong comes back and we know how it is sold, this doll factory will start immediately, and then these will be self-defeating, we don't have to care about this." ”
Just when everyone was anxious to wait, he finally received a reply, but Li Hanrong didn't come, saying that something happened in the capital and he wanted to deal with it there, so he just sent a letter over.
Shopkeeper Li sent someone to send them the letter, after reading the letter, Han Fuda and Fang Cancan were very happy, the dolls that were originally shipped to the capital were all sold out in two days, and then the magnates in the capital asked when they could buy them again.
It can be said that during the Chinese New Year, this doll is out of the limelight in the capital, if anyone's children don't have it, it will be ridiculed, and those powerful people don't care about silver, as long as the children in the family are happy.
So those dolls not only sold out, but also made a lot of money, Li Hanrong was praised by his father because of this during the New Year, and even those people in the clan praised him.
Li Hanrong wrote to say that he was not worried about not being able to sell now, but he was worried that there was nothing to sell, and Fang Cancan's eyes flashed slightly, and it was best to have nothing to sell.
It is to create a phenomenon of shortage of stock, so that people can always remember, if it is rotten on the street, it will not be unusual, there will be no such hot scene.
Now that they have received a reply, they can start work, so early the next morning, Han Fuda and they set off firecrackers in the doll factory, and then Han Fuda drove the ox cart, Wang Wenle drove the ox cart, and Fang Xingan also followed the three of them to the town to transport cloth and needlework.
And Fang Cancan, Zhao Hui and Zhou Ling took the girls of the family to the doll factory to start cleaning, the area of the doll factory is very large, on the left side of the door is a large warehouse, which is specially used to put the doll, and there is a medium warehouse next to the warehouse, this warehouse is used to put cloth and needlework.
On the right is where the women work, a row of three rooms, two cut and one embroidered, and in the room there are tables, one for each person, and the tables are all with drawers, and the drawers can be locked.
A few steps further inside, there are two more rooms, which are more private than the previous ones, because this is the last part of the stitching, and the part that needs to be kept secret the most.
In the innermost part of the factory is a row of houses, which are inhabited, but it is still empty, Fang Cancan wondered if he should buy some people with martial arts to come back, so as to ensure the safety of the doll factory.
Seeing their movements, the people in the village understood that this was the doll factory was about to start, and they all ran over to ask, and Fang Cancan also gave an accurate answer, come over this afternoon to choose their location, and send things, and they will be able to work tomorrow.
Hearing the good news, everyone was very happy, they were all looking forward to coming to work in the doll factory, and they did not leave when they got the news, but helped clean up together.
When it was time to eat in the morning, Han Fuda and the others also came back, and everyone was amazed to see the two ox carts full of fabrics, they had never seen so much fabric, and they all helped move the things to the warehouse.
After lunch, Han Fuda and the others went to the town again, and the women who were going to work in the village also came over slowly, these were all people who had worked here before, so without saying anything, Fang Cancan took them to the house.
The neatly arranged tables and chairs in the room were dazzling to everyone's eyes, and Fang Cancan said, "Okay, you can choose your own position, but you can't change it after you choose it." “
After hearing this, the people in the village went over one by one and sat down in the position they had chosen, Fang Cancan glanced at it, cutting that not a single room was full, this room was very large, and it could seat sixty people, but now there were only about fifty.
Fang Cancan said to everyone: "You guys sit in your place first, and then we'll send things to everyone later." ”
After that, she took people to the embroidery room next door, and also asked them to choose their own places, and after they all sat down, she found that there were about forty people in this embroidery room.
When everything was done and Han Fuda and the others came back from their trip to town, Fang Cancan began to send things to everyone, a pair of needles per person, a pair of scissors, some thimbles and other things that the woman needed, and the key to the drawer in his place.
After all the distribution was finished, Fang Cancan said: "Okay, that's all for today, let's start work on the first day, I won't say anything superfluous, I will come here every morning in the future, work for an hour, and then you can go back to prepare lunch, and you will be here at the beginning of the afternoon, and you can go back at the end of Shen, do you know?" ”
Everyone in the village nodded to indicate that they knew, and Fang Cancan also nodded, one hour in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, adding up to three hours a day, although it was only six hours, but Fang Cancan already felt very good.
When they first arrive here in the morning (9:00-10:59), these women can arrange all the things in the house, work for an hour, that is, at the end of the hour, and go back to catch up with lunch, clean up the house after lunch, and rest before coming back to work.
When I go back in the afternoon, it is around 17:00-18:59, and it is perfectly fine to cook dinner at home or do other work.
In this way, the woman can not only take care of the family, but also make money, she can't ask too much, the status of women in this era determines all this, even if they can make money, but they still have to do the work at home after they go back.
So three hours a day to make money, the rest of the time you can take care of the family, and the work of the doll factory is not heavy, after you go back, you will not be tired and can no longer work,
Besides, this needlework is very eye-consuming, one hour in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon, which is finally decided by Fang Cancan's repeated research.
After finishing speaking, Fang Cancan asked everyone to go back, but because the new factory started, Fang Cancan still gave each person a pound of pork, and everyone went back happily.
And the people from other villages who got the news also slowly came over, Fang Cancan is still the same as before, let them test their skills first, and those who pass the test can choose a position, take needles, scissors, and pork, and she doesn't want it if she doesn't pass the test.
When no one comes back at the end of the night, there will be about thirty people on the cutting side, ten more people for embroidery, and the most important part for stitching, Fang Cancan plans to wait for the doll factory to operate before choosing someone with trustworthy character.
The doll factory started in the expectation of everyone and some people's ill-intentioned ideas, and on the first day, everyone was a little unaccustomed to sitting at the table and working, at home they were all in the yard or on the kang of their own house.
However, Fang Cancan gave them time to adapt, and didn't say anything, just let them get used to it slowly.
The factory also provides boiling water, there is a kettle at the front of the house, and everyone is given a tea bowl, and when they are thirsty, they take the tea bowl to the front, and they can only return to their positions after drinking, because the fabrics are more afraid of water.
The tea bowl is put in a drawer when you take it back, which is very convenient and clean.
And Fang Cancan handed over the work of boiling hot water to Grandma Wang, just to ask her temporarily, after all, Grandma Wang is old, although the hot water is not heavy, but she is still a little unable to mention the work of the house and carrying firewood.
Fang Cancan plans to find another person to boil hot water later, the embroiderers have not come to work today, they will only come over tomorrow, only the cut part will come over today.
Fang Cancan asked his sister-in-law and Zhou Ling to be responsible for checking the quality of the completed parts of these people, and when they couldn't fit on the table, they could hand it over to these two people, and they would count it after they accepted it, and Fang Cancan felt that he needed to hire a bookkeeper.
It's just that there is no suitable candidate for a while, which is also a headache for her, and now she can only take on the job herself.
The first day of stumbling passed, and Fang Cancan found a lot of problems, first of all, there was a shortage of manpower on her side, which was the most serious problem.
Therefore, the next day, Han Fuda went to the people in the town early in the morning to see if he could buy a suitable candidate.
Fang Cancan had great hopes for this, but he was afraid that there would be no suitable candidate, so he could only think about what else could be used.
After some of the embroiderers came, Fang Cancan still used the usual method, first taught them how to get it, and then completely let go and let them do it themselves.
This embroidery part has already been worked, and the stitching will be done tomorrow at the latest, and Fang Cancan has also asked Zhou Ling and them to pay attention to the candidates before, hearing the candidates proposed by Zhou Ling and Zhao Hui, Fang Cancan nodded, "Well, these people can." ”
