"In addition, those who open up wasteland on the barren hilltop only need three kilograms of meat, four glutinous rice cakes, and one kilogram of brown sugar per person."

After Bai Taotao finished speaking, the villagers were excited again.

"I didn't expect that there would be New Year's goods delivered while working in the workshop."

"The most important thing is that we have only been on the job for a few months."

"New Year's goods are nothing. I haven't heard that there is a bonus of one tael of silver. This is one month's wages."

"The land reclamation hilltop also has New Year's goods, as well as a pound of brown sugar. This year, two of our family members are working in the workshop, and one is helping to open up wasteland. This year, we don't have to spend any money to buy the New Year's goods ourselves." Grandma Chen calculated that her family I was so happy that I would be able to receive the New Year’s goods by then.

Don't be happy. Three people only have 13 pounds of meat. Their family has probably never eaten so much meat in a year.

There are also glutinous rice cakes, brown sugar, and two taels of silver.

Everyone looked envious when they heard this.

Grandma Chen's family has many sons and they contribute a lot. They are all good at work. It is normal for them to work a lot in the workshop. Besides being envious, she hopes that she will still have a chance to get her turn.

"I really hope that Mrs. Yi's workshop will be bigger next year, and I will also work in the workshop. One tael of silver a month, which is twelve taels a year, and I can still go to the fields to do the work at home sooner or later. It would be nice to help out."

Bai Taotao heard this and said with a smile: "My workshop will indeed need manpower next year, but we will wait until after the New Year to arrange it, so don't worry. As long as you are solid and willing to work, regardless of male or female, you will definitely be able to do it by then." Arrange for the villagers to work in the workshop. The welfare of the workshop will change next year, of course, it will only get better, not worse."

Starting from next year, the workshop will arrange two days of paid leave for workers every month. The time of leave can be chosen by the villagers themselves, and if they do not take off, they will be compensated for their wages. There will also be seven days of paid annual leave at the end of the year and the Chinese New Year, from the 28th to the fourth day of the new year, and work will start on the fifth day of the new year.

There are few holidays at this time, and we will give everyone some benefits at the end of the year, so Baitaotao naturally doesn’t have to worry about the benefits.

Only when you are well treated can you keep people's hearts.

After the villagers returned home and told the news about Bai Taotao, the whole Shihe Village was in a state of panic. Everyone in the family was very happy when they came to work in the workshop.

Those who didn't work in the workshop don't hold grudges or feel bad, because they will still have a chance next year, and as long as they are solid and willing to work, both men and women will have a chance.

Early the next morning, three live pigs were delivered to Baitaotao from the slaughterhouse.

Bai Taotao had reserved six pigs, and there would definitely be more than six pigs to kill in one day, so she made an agreement with the slaughterhouse to deliver them in two days, three pigs a day.

Because Bai Taotao told the villagers in advance, the villagers rushed over early to help.

Butcher Zhao was experienced. He was responsible for the main work, and then divided the labor. Who was responsible for boiling water, who was responsible for cleaning tools, and who was responsible for sharpening knives. Everyone was very busy.

Isn’t the flavor of the New Year just like everyone getting together, making glutinous rice cakes, brewing sweet wine, and killing New Year pigs together? They all went to the battle and were busy, and then chatted about home affairs while busy. From time to time, you could hear the hearty laughter of the villagers.

There were some old people who were good at paper-cutting, but they couldn't get their hands on the pig-killing side, so Baitaotao took out the red paper and scissors and asked the big guys to help cut the flowers.

At that time, you can also add it to the New Year goods for good luck.

In this way, under the eaves, there were more than a dozen old people sitting around two tables. They chatted around the table, ate peanut candy, and cut flowers. They also laughed and laughed.

No matter how cold the winter is, as long as there is laughter, it is warm. After killing the New Year pigs for two consecutive days, the next step is the New Year goods that the villagers are most looking forward to.

Distributing New Year's goods does not necessarily have to wait until the day before the holiday. After killing the New Year pig, the pork will be divided into portions with the help of the villagers. Baitaotao has also prepared other things in the past few days, so the next day Get ready to start distributing New Year's goods.

Those who need to work should go to work, and the New Year's goods will be collected by family members on their behalf.

The workers in the workshop: five kilograms of pork, four glutinous rice cakes, and a bonus of one tael of silver.

In order to facilitate the use of the villagers, Baitaotao has prepared loose silver and solid silver. Those who are willing to ask for loose silver will be given loose silver, and those who are willing to ask for solid silver will be given one ingot or one tael of solid silver.

The caravans who were delivering New Year's goods and picking up peanuts saw people crowding around the door of Baitaotao's house, and several businessmen came over to take a look out of curiosity.

"Madam Chen, what are you doing?"

"Yes, it's money, meat, glutinous rice cakes, and brown sugar. These are all good things."

"Is there any big happy event?"

Before Bai Taotao could answer, Granny Chen and her grandson, who had just received the New Year's goods, carried a basket of New Year's goods and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a big happy event? Wife-in-law Youyi is here to help the folks in the workshop." The folks on the reclaimed hills are handing out New Year's goods."

When several business leaders heard this, they all looked shocked and said in unison: "This is unheard of."

"Don't all workers receive wages when they come to work? How come they are given so many good things during the Chinese New Year?"

"Yes, yes, seeing so many good things makes me want to come and do things for Mrs. Chen."

Bai Taotao smiled and said: "Stop joking, Xu Shangtou, how much money does it cost to work here for a month? How much does a good businessman like you earn in a month? Don't be envious, your New Year's gift is indispensable. Wait."

Bai Taotao said and walked into the house. When she came out, she had three large bamboo baskets with gift bags in her hand. He handed the big gift bag to the three business leaders, "Hey, this is yours."

The three businessmen received their big gift bags in surprise. Although there was no meat in it, there was wine. It looked like good wine.

Although there is no brown sugar inside, there are glutinous rice cakes, a cake of tea, a pack of snacks, and big red flowers cut by the folks yesterday.

Except for the glutinous rice cakes, which I bought in the past few days, the rest are all good products Baitaotao bought from the mall.

These merchants are all business partners, and the business will be stable only if they are maintained well, so she naturally has to prepare some good things.

"You are all big bosses. I haven't prepared any meat for you, but I know that you like drinking wine and tea, so I have prepared a little treat for you. Don't dislike it." Bai Taotao said.

Seeing this, Ye Shangtou smiled from ear to ear: "Hahaha... I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it. These are all good things. There is no reason to dislike them. All the New Year's gifts given by Madam Chen's family are sent to our hearts. Come up."

"There is no reason to dislike it. Madam Chen has prepared a New Year's gift for us so carefully, but we didn't prepare anything. It's all our fault. How can we dislike your gift?" Xu Shangtou said embarrassedly.

At this time, Jiang Shangtou took out a piece of white silver from his sleeve pocket and said, "It's easy without any preparation. I'm more straightforward and just give the silver." After saying that, he handed over the ten taels of silver in his hand. She fell into the arms of Chen Wan held by Aunt Jin. (End of chapter)
