Well, how was it today?

Touching the top of Zhao Yi's head, Ye Hao said with a smile.

Aunt Huang's grandson Yang'er, who was not far away, stood a little timidly, and looked at Ye Hao from time to time with a pair of small eyes.

Although Ye Hao and Aunt Huang are very familiar, they are always a little recognizable.

Taking out an oiled paper bag from her arms, Ye Hao handed it to Zhao Yi and said gently:

"I bought you some snacks and eat them like Yang'er, my aunt still has something to do with Grandma Huang."

After speaking, she gently beckoned to Yang'er, and after seeing the two sharing the preserved fruit together, she turned around and walked towards the house.

Aunt Huang in the house had already heard the movement, and when she walked to the door at this time, she happened to meet Ye Hao who was coming.

"Mrs. Xie, are you done with today's business?"

Recently, Ye Hao has been so busy that she can't see anyone, and even Aunt Huang's house rarely moves around.

As soon as things piled up, she really couldn't pull away, and Ye Hao had no choice but to run to the county every day.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to buy a carriage in advance, so that she would not have to wait to be the ox cart of the villagers every day when she went to the county seat, which was very laborious.

"I just came back, and I want to discuss something with you, let's talk about it in the house?"

So saying, the two went into the house together.

Ye Hao is not a procrastinator, as soon as the cooperation with Fu Ru'an was finalized, she began to think about organizing the sugar workshop.

She told the other party that the sugar workshop was completely presided over by herself, and she just wanted to give the villagers another way to get rich.

The egg white decolorization method is easier than the yellow mud decolorization method, and there is not much heavy work, even some women can get started.

Especially the women of this era, these women who have been in the countryside for a long time are no longer the noble ladies they once were, and their fingers do not touch the spring water.

They are also good at doing things now, even Ye Hao is ashamed of herself.

After the two sat down, Ye Hao got straight to the point and said the purpose of her coming.

"Aunt Huang, do you know which people in our village are really good at work? If I'm not busy now, I'd like to open a workshop in the village and recruit some people."

The sugar workshop was different from the artisan shop she was about to open, and the former had to be carefully kept out of sight and ears so as not to be discovered by the county order.

Therefore, Ye Hao's plan is to open this sugar factory in the village, their village itself is remote, and there will be no outsiders on weekdays.

As long as the workers in the workshop are tight-mouthed, there will be no problems. Ye Hao believed in the people in the village, they would not say anything outside.

This is the confidence given to her by the villagers during the time she has lived in the village.

The matter of cooperating with Fu Ruan to sell white sugar still has to be covered up, and she doesn't want to get into trouble with the county order at this time.

So she planned to whisper this matter to the village first, and as for the follow-up purchase of sugarcane, she would find another way.

"Workshop?"

Hearing the news, Aunt Huang was stunned, and her mind couldn't turn for a while.

Although the two families are already quite familiar, what Ye Hao is busy with every day has nothing to do with them, so Aunt Huang actually doesn't know what Ye Hao is busy with every day.

Suddenly, I heard the other party say that he wanted to open a workshop, and he was a little too late to react.

"What workshop are you going to open?"

She subconsciously asked Ye Hao, what do you want in the village, it is really a wild place, how can you open a workshop here?

"Yes!"

Ye Hao nodded firmly, and then added:

"It's better to be some tight-mouthed aunts, my workshop needs to be kept secret, so that outsiders can't know about it. But in the same way, the salary must not be low, as long as it is an aunt who agrees with the conditions."

In the early stage, she had to try it first, and after the formula given by the system was successfully tested, she would expand her manpower.

There are dozens of people in the left and right villages, and they can always meet the needs of her small workshop.

Seeing her so mysterious, Aunt Huang also gave birth to her heart

I was curious, but I didn't continue to ask.

In the hearts of these people, Ye Hao is like a fairy descending to earth, and she can't wait to offer them all.

Everyone has all the requirements for her, where will they interject more?

"In our village, except for one or two aunts with big hearts, everyone else has a good oral demeanor. If you're really interesting, I'll call Aunt Li and Aunt Wang from the neighborhood to try it later, both of them are very hard at work, and they happen to be idle at home these days, embroidering handkerchiefs with me!"

After thinking about it carefully, Aunt Huang first gave two names.

She didn't know how many people the other party wanted to recruit, so she thought about recommending two people to try first.

These two people are the best friends of Aunt Huang in the village, but they are not favoritism, they are indeed good at work, which is recognized.

Ye Hao trusted Aunt Huang very much, and when she heard her recommendation, she naturally made a decision on the spot.

And this matter is imminent, she doesn't want to delay any longer, lest the sugarcane be bought at a low price by the county order, and she will be embarrassed to cook without rice!

So, the two went out together, first told the two children in the yard not to run around, and then walked out.

Ye Zhen's family is some distance from the village, and Aunt Huang's family is the closest to their family, but it is also located at the end of the village.

And the two aunts in Aunt Huang's mouth are nearby, so it doesn't take much effort.

After walking for less than two steps, Aunt Huang took Ye Hao and knocked on the door of the first house.

"Aunt Li, are you at home?"

Her voice was so loud that she could hear it all over the room.

Aunt Li's house has no yard, it is just a wooden house, so the people in the house quickly walked out.

"Come on, come on!"

The aunt who opened the door made Ye Hao a little familiar, the other party was one of the women who came to help cook when the house was built before, and she had dealt with her a few times.

Ye Hao is not face blind, although there are many aunts in the village, she can still recognize the few aunts who have come to her house to get along with each other day and night for a while.

"Sister Huang, Mrs. Xie? Who are you?"

As soon as she opened the door and saw Ye Hao's figure, Aunt Li was a little dazed and looked at Aunt Huang with a puzzled expression.

Aunt Huang is not a person who twists and turns, and when she sees someone, she quickly says her purpose.

"Mrs. Xie wants to recruit workers, so she came to ask if you are free, would you like to come?"

Ye Hao beside her nodded, responding to her words.

Seeing this, Aunt Li, who was originally a little confused, was even more confused, but she still subconsciously agreed.

Joke, last time it was just cooking, and the wages given by the other party are comparable to the income of their family for a year!

Who wouldn't want a family as generous as Ye Hao?

"Okay! Then you can follow us to Aunt Wang's house again!"

ran away again, and the lady Wang Ye Zhen was a little blind, and later asked Aunt Huang, it turned out that this Aunt Wang was busy in the field before, and she didn't have time to help cook.

But Ye Hao doesn't have any ideas, as long as she does things quickly and doesn't chew the root of her tongue, that's enough!

led the two back to Aunt Huang's house, the four of them faced each other, and Ye Hao repeated her request again.

This time, she brought the salary and the details of the workshop.

"I'm going to open a sugar factory. I don't do much work, most of it is light work, and I don't have to work too hard. The salary is one tael of silver a month, and if the follow-up sales are good, it will rise."

Ye Hao knew that the wages of the workers were relatively low, let alone the women.

But her original purpose was to make these villagers rich, and she would not oppress them like those businessmen outside.

Hearing the salary of one or two silver for a month, let alone the two aunts, even Aunt Huang's eyes lit up.

Even if you are a bookkeeper in the city, you can't do it like that!

"Mrs. Xie, can I apply?"

It's hard not to be excited,

Aunt Huang thought that she couldn't make much money by embroidering handkerchiefs for a year, so she might as well follow Ye Hao!

"Don't worry, you naturally have other responsibilities."

Smiling, Ye Hao patted her shoulder soothingly.

The other two concubines recovered from the shock, nodded quickly, and responded without saying a word.

With such a salary, who is going to farm?!

They are not very good at farming, and they have basically no harvest over the years, and they are all eating their old books.

If Ye Hao is telling the truth, then they can not only support their family by working in the workshop, but also save a lot of money every year!

"Okay! Then I will invite you two to come to my house tomorrow and officially start work!"

After making an appointment with the two, they left happily.

Only Ye Hao and Aunt Huang were left in the room, and only then did the former tell the latter's task.

"Aunt Huang, I trust you the most in the village, so I won't hide it from you. The workshop I opened actually produces white sugar, not the common brown sugar."

Ye Hao lowered her voice and told her all about her plan.

She didn't tell a lie, although the people in the village gave her a very good impression, but the person she believed most in her heart was Aunt Huang.

Hearing the words of white sugar, Aunt Huang's eyes widened, and she was a little incredulous.

The big guy used to think that the sugar workshop Ye Hao mentioned was to make brown sugar, after all, there are many sugarcane villages in the Lingnan area, and many sugar factories will buy sugarcane to make brown sugar.

"You also know how rare sugar is, so you can't let anyone else know. I hope you can help me buy some sugar cane from the other village first, just at the previous price."

Because it was a test first, Ye Hao only needed to get a few dozen catties of sugarcane first, and then buy it in large quantities after figuring out the overall process.

Since it is going to be purchased in large quantities, it will inevitably conflict with the people of the county order, so the follow-up acquisition cannot let Aunt Huang come forward.

Ye Hao asked Aunt Huang to do things for herself, and naturally she would not treat her badly, but doubled her previous salary.

According to her assumption, Aunt Huang is the person she trusts the most in the village, and she can be trained to be her second-in-command, and she will handle most of the things that are inconvenient for her to come forward.

For this, Aunt Huang has nothing to refuse.

Ye Hao is kind-hearted and generous, she has long admired her, and she is naturally willing to do things for the other party.

After negotiating the matter of the sugar workshop, Ye Hao went out and brought Zhao Yi back.

When the two arrived home, Lin Bin and Xie Yunshu also came back sweating profusely.

"Cleaned up?"

Ye Hao glanced at the location of the bamboo house from a distance, and immediately asked the two.

Xie Yunshu nodded, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Turning around, Ye Hao said to Lin Bin, who was drinking water:

"Lin Bin, please go to the city, find the brick factory that built us a house last time, and ask them to help us build the wall."

She had mentioned this to the other party before that it was inconvenient to build a house at that time, and it was decided to come later, but there were too many things that have been piled up until now.

Now that she wants to open a sugar factory, Ye Hao wants to make use of the abandoned bamboo house, saving the step of building a new house.

The bamboo house space is not very large, and it is a little inconvenient to live, but it can still be used as a warehouse.

As long as the two houses are enclosed together by a fence, the space in the courtyard will be even larger!
