Chapter 199: Pick and Choose
Now Xie Yunshu is the teacher of Xiao Shizi, and Lin Bin has also become a martial arts instructor, and their family has to live in the palace.
Not to mention that Zhao Yi is very sticky to Ye Zhen, he spends most of his time in their yard almost every day, and his yard is about to fall to ashes.
Anyway, the house that Fu Ru'an bought was given to herself, and Ye Hao thought about simply taking it out to improve the living conditions of the girls.
On the other hand, the house where they were originally located was a bit remote, not a short distance from the weaving mill.
And his house is quite close to the weaving mill, even if it is a walk back and forth, it is a matter of ten minutes.
Therefore, Ye Hao plans to select some girls who are good at female popularity first and move to her own house.
As for eating, the girls always have something to cook, and she asks people to send rice, noodles, vegetables and meat every three or five days, and she can cook it herself.
Just take advantage of the fact that they cook by themselves, and they can choose from them to have good cooking skills, which will lay a good foundation for opening a restaurant in the future.
After making the preliminary plan, Ye Hao immediately took Lin Bin out again, and by the way, she also called Steward Yue and the Li family next door.
"I'll take you to meet some girls, and you can help me choose some suitable weavers?"
Because there was a problem with the craftsman's side of making the improved loom, Lee was often invited to come and discuss with the other party.
Now it just came in handy, and I went with Ye Hao to choose a weaver.
Ye Hao herself doesn't understand this convenient knowledge at all, and it is much easier to have a veteran by her side to help.
"This, my ability alone is limited, why don't you invite Aunt Liu over to palm your eyes together?"
Li was as shy as ever, and aside from the mention of weaving, she was clearly a social phobia.
Ye Hao had already expected this and smiled.
"Don't worry, when I go out, I will tell Steward Yue to send someone to invite him, I don't think it will be slower than us."
Sure enough, when the group of them arrived, the person sent by Steward Yue happened to also bring that Liu Da over, and the two sides happened to meet each other.
Speaking of which, Aunt Liu, who lived near the weaving workshop, was closer than Ye Hao and the others who rushed over from Cheng'an Palace, so they could arrive in time.
After explaining their needs for this trip, several people entered the door together.
Since responding to Ye Hao's request, Zhao Gaowei ordered the county order to remove the officers and soldiers guarding the door, but he still secretly left a few patrols, after all, there are all women here, and it is inevitable that some people with bad ideas will come to inquire about the news.
This is also convenient for Ye Hao in disguise.
After hearing that Ye Hao planned to recruit these women with tragic backgrounds who had been sold into the Qinglou to work in the weaving workshop, Steward Yue also had an indescribable expression on his face.
It's not okay to say, but the other party is indeed doing good deeds, and there is nowhere to blame.
Well, this is a complete obstacle to the development of the weaving mill.
Helplessly, the family is the master, he is an assistant steward, how can there be room for beaking?
As soon as he entered the door, he attracted the attention of the girls who were staying in the yard.
Seeing that it was Ye Hao who promised them that they would properly settle the distribution work, the girls immediately showed a smile of surprise on their faces, and someone went to spread the news.
"Would you like to call all my sisters over?"
Ye Hao said with a smile, calmly waiting for everyone to gather.
Of course, such a small courtyard must not be able to fit all the girls, so they divided into two courtyards, each with fifty people, and barely squeezed it out.
It was a little troublesome to divide into two courtyards, but it didn't stump Ye Zhen.
She arranged for Steward Yue to go to another courtyard, and asked the other party to count all the girls who took the initiative to ask Ying to take the position of weaver, and she counted in this courtyard.
There are not a few girls who want to be weavers, after all, when everyone hears that it is a weaving mill, the first thing is that they want to be weavers.
After all, they are all peasant girls, and they have not been exposed to much weaving mills, and subconsciously think that weavers are the only type of work in the weaving mills.
Wait for Ye Hao and Steward Yue to lead
When the people went to another empty courtyard, they almost didn't squeeze in.
Seeing that the number of people was afraid that it would be more than fifty people, Ye Hao had no choice but to count the number of people and divide them into two courtyards, thirty-two people on each side.
Fortunately, Li and Aunt Liu were called today, so they can divide the labor.
Lin Bin also rushed over from the location of the weaving workshop, bringing two ancient looms left by the previous owner, and one in each of the courtyards.
"Everyone, stand up, let's take a closer look at Aunt Liu's demonstration of how to use the loom."
was surrounded by everyone, and Aunt Liu, who was in the middle position, was not nervous, after all, she was used to doing the work, and she was not jerky at all.
While using a loom to weave cloth, she also had to explain every step of the technique according to Ye Hao's requirements.
It stands to reason that this craft is a valuable thing in such an era, and it will not be easily taught to others.
But firstly, Ye Zhen was backed by Cheng'an Wangfu, Aunt Liu did not dare to hide her selfishness and contempt, and secondly, the other party was indeed very generous, so that the weavers who signed the deed in advance and prepared to work could not find fault.
After signing the deed, they will get a month's salary, and this salary is nearly double the amount they worked in the weaving mill in the past.
Money can make ghosts grind, Ye Hao knows this truth very well, seeing that the Li family and Aunt Liu are both reliable people, of course they are happy to spend a little money to buy people's hearts.
The girls in a circle only stared at the movements in Aunt Liu's hands, and occasionally some people had questions, but they all asked on the spot and answered them directly.
After demonstrating the whole process three times, Aunt Liu retreated according to Ye Hao's instructions, and tried to sort them one by one.
Among the girls present, it is inevitable that some of them have come into contact with weaving tools such as looms or shuttles, and they are quite smooth to use, but more of them are lost and fail to complete the whole process.
Aunt Liu and Ye Hao watched from the sidelines, scoring everyone.
1 to 10, 10 is the best, 1 is the worst.
Aunt Liu was originally illiterate, but fortunately, these ten numbers were extremely simple, and with Lin Bin's assistance, nothing went wrong.
On the other side, the situation of the Li family and Steward Yue in the courtyard was not much different, and by the time the more than 20 people in the courtyard on both sides had tried it, it was almost dark.
Putting together all the written lists and scoring transcripts, Ye Hao nodded with satisfaction and said to the girls:
"Today, I will trouble you sisters to squeeze here for the night, and when the weaver candidates are selected tomorrow, they will be taken to another place to work, so that they can work and give everyone a comfortable living environment. Don't worry if you don't choose, the weaver is just one of the jobs I'm hiring, and there are other jobs waiting for you, so you won't be in a hurry."
After pacifying, the group left together.
The Li family and Aunt Liu naturally asked Steward Yue to send someone home, and Ye Hao's family went straight back to the palace.
After crossing over, Ye Hao read at night for the first time, frowning at the thick stack of transcripts.
In fact, it is really rare to have a score of more than five points, she picked them all out and counted them, but there were not even ten.
She alone didn't score more than 10 points.
I can't blame those girls, after all, they are all zero-based people, and it is good to be able to use the loom smoothly after simply watching the process a few times.
But the problem is that Ye Hao plans to hire at least twenty weavers, which is not half of the number.
"What's wrong? Got into trouble?"
As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Xie Yunshu saw Ye Hao's frowning appearance, and asked her with some curiosity.
It was not a trivial matter to dispose of a hundred people, and he knew the difficulties involved, otherwise this problem would not have ended up in Ye Hao's hands.
Pinching the large stack of transcripts in his hand, Ye Hao sighed.
"It seems that I am really thinking a little too simply, and there are not even ten percent of these hundred people who are suitable for weaving."
After that, she told the other party in detail about the test she did this afternoon.
The result of the test is the current report card in her hand, but it is very unsatisfactory.
After listening to her words, Xie Yunshu shook his head with some disapproval.
"Although your method is simple and quick, there are still many drawbacks. Those girls are basically from peasant families, and it is right that they are not good at using machines, but that doesn't mean that their female popularity is not good, and your test method is a little too one-sided."
These words made Ye Hao fall into deep thought.
In the girl's house on the other side, there are indeed many girls who have some complaints about this unique test.
"Well, it seems that I can't be elected, but there is still hope for the few of you."
The girl who had been called Lu'er sighed and sat in the courtyard with a few familiar girls, her face bitter.
Originally, she thought that the weaver only needed the female celebrity to be good, and she didn't say anything else, but she was a first-class good at embroidery.
However, today's test completely shattered her confidence.
She couldn't remember what kind of loom it was after looking at it three times, and she couldn't even weave a small piece of cloth in the final test.
"Lu'er, with your embroiderer, it's a pity not to be elected as a weaver!"
"yes, yes, this test is weird."
The girls' complaints failed to reach Ye Hao's ears, but Xie Yunshu's opinion made her think deeply about it.
After a night of careful consideration, Ye Hao decided early the next morning to continue to take the original team from yesterday afternoon to go again.
This time, she asked Xie Yunshu to draw a delicate orchid in advance, so that the girls who participated in the election yesterday could look at the embroidery.
For this additional experiment, there was no dissatisfaction with the girls, and they all sat down obediently with their own things and began to work.
Glancing at the painting placed in the middle of the courtyard, Ye Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly, fortunately, her husband Junqin, chess, calligraphy and painting have everything, otherwise if she wants to let herself come, she may not know what it will look like!
Let her draw an engineering drawing, or any chemical equation, any graph, she can do it easily.
But it is absolutely impossible to paint this kind of flower and bird scenery.
Fortunately, Xie Yunshu, this great talent, can come in handy at this time.
The two courtyards were quiet, and all the girls who participated in the election were busy with the embroidery in their hands, and even the girls who were watching did not dare to take a mouthful of the atmosphere, for fear of affecting them.
All the girls here are basically people who have a hard life, and they cherish each other, and there are very few stumbles.
Even if they know that they can't compete with others and can't become the first batch of weavers, everyone can only envy and not envy.
Ye Hao sat beside the Li family and whispered to the Li family:
"Today, we chose the embroidery girl, or according to yesterday's scoring criteria, everyone sees the physical score."
With Xie Yunshu's words, she understood that she was indeed too selfish and decisive sometimes, and judged the life and death of others just by a thought.
People who want to apply for weavers are basically some beautiful girls, what does it have to do with operating a loom?
