Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 59

"I've earned money from you these days and bought fabrics to make this, isn't it beautiful?" Li Xiaomei looked at Tong Xiaowu with admiration in her eyes.

She heard about what happened last night, and the news that she went to the county town to discuss business spread in the village. She really admires how powerful she is as a woman.

"Well, it's pretty good-looking, and the little girl should be pretty." Tong Xiaowu nodded, and said the business:

"Xiaomei, I only have one thing for you. I want you to learn how to read. If you can read, I will divide a workshop for you to manage in the future. If you don't want to learn, I can only choose someone else, and you can't do it. Just keep doing what you did before.”

"You can go back and ask your two older brothers. If they agree, you and Mrs. Fulin can start now..." Tong Xiaowu knew that some things could not be done by her alone, and she needed manpower.

"Don't ask my brother, I can decide by myself, I'll learn!" Li Xiaomei replied excitedly, her eyes shining brightly.

Her parents died early, and some things were decided with the help of her two elder brothers, but she can decide this matter by herself. In the future, she will learn from the third sister-in-law and go forward bravely.

"Okay..." Tong Xiaowu took out a piece of paper, pen and ink from one side, and wrote down a dozen words:
"This is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten thousand million, thirteen characters. I hope you can learn to recognize them in an hour. You must learn to write today. Let's start now!"

After finishing speaking, she handed them the paper in front of her, "Go to Mrs. Fulin's house to practice, I have other things here."

The two nodded in agreement, and exited the thatched cottage excitedly.

Tong Xiaowu took out the paper and wrote down the recruitment notice.

She now has thousands of dolls that need to be made, and some of the dolls have a very short delivery time, so she must recruit workers in a short time.

Tong Xiaowu's family was recruiting workers, and soon, the news spread to the village. The women and maids in the village used to envy the village chief's daughter-in-law to work in her house to make money, and now they have the opportunity.

Not long after, more than 20 people signed up.

In this village, relatives are passed on from one relative to another, and women from neighboring villages also come.

"Listen well, everyone, the salary is settled monthly, because there is no time to settle the bill every day, so it can only be settled monthly. The salary of each doll is different according to the workmanship of the doll, and the price is also different, so everyone thinks it over. , at least for two or three months, temporary workers are not required..."

In order to avoid plagiarism, Tong Xiaowu formulated her first management code.

"Can I ask for leave?" A woman asked.

"Yes, but we can't ask for leave at the same time. We have to take turns to ask for leave. I will give leave for things like harvest autumn, and everyone will take turns to ask for leave during the rest of the time." Tong Xiaowu announced loudly.

Everything is too impatient, if there are not too many orders, she will definitely find a way to cultivate talents slowly, but not now, the working hours are too urgent, she can only rush.

"Okay, I'll sign up..."

"I'm signing up too..."

The women signed up one by one, Feng Yuchen sat on the side and wrote their names, and Tong Xiaowu directly brought them in.

Zhao Hongzhu's daughter-in-law Zhao Lishi and Zhao Wenjing are helping to teach everyone how to make dolls.

A group of 20 people has already recruited three groups of people.

It's impossible to go on like this. Tong Xiaowu stood at the door and looked at the more than 60 people in front of him. If each person made eight a day, the goods would not be delivered after five days.

How to do?
Suddenly, she thought of a way, Ning Yuezhen.

Most of Shanshui villages are villages, and every household has fields. Some women have so many children that they can't leave, and they can't come out to work at all.

And she is not allowed to take the materials home to make, so this limits the idea of ​​many people to make money.

But there is a place with a small land and a large population, and that is Ningyue Town, and if you set up a workshop in Ningyue Town, you can still save a lot of shipping costs.

Thinking of this, Tong Xiaowu walked out of the yard and came to Feng Yuchen at the door: "Yuchen, I want to go to town."

Feng Yuchen saw that no one was queuing up to sign up outside, so he turned around and walked into the yard: "Wait a minute, I'll go change."

"I can go by myself. You have to stay here. No one else can do it. You have to watch at home." Now she wished she could use one person as eight people, how could she let him accompany her.

Feng Yuchen looked at the sun, "Okay, I'll be back in the afternoon, you know? If I don't come back, I'll go to the town to find you."

He had lingering fears about what happened yesterday, and he was worried that he was not by her side.

"Yeah!" Tong Xiaowu nodded, went back to the house and changed into the clothes she used to wear, took the IOU, and went out of the yard.

Second brother Liu went to the county with someone because of what happened last night, and now she can only take a slow and cheap ox cart. While waiting for the cart at the entrance of the village, Zhao Cheng and his wife from the village came over in a donkey cart.

"Isn't this from Yuchen's family? What are you going to do here? I heard that your house is busy today, do you still have time to come out?"

Tong Xiaowu was familiar with some people in the town, but she didn't know some people, so she laughed: "Go to the town."

"Take my car, no money..." Zhao Cheng's wife greeted.

Tong Xiaowu was also polite and jumped into the donkey cart, "Thank you both."

"His name is Zhao Cheng, and he and Li Zhang are in the same family. It's just that we are from a distant branch and live in the east of the village. You don't know me yet. I'm your sister-in-law, and my maiden name is Wang."

This Mrs. Wang Zhao is enthusiastic and speaks simply.

"Brother Zhao, sister-in-law..." Tong Xiaowu nodded slightly.

"Your name is Tong Xiaowu, right?" Zhao Cheng's wife leaned forward: "I heard that you are hiring people to work?"

"En!" Tong Xiaowu didn't want to miss any chance, anyway, she was fine along the way, so she nodded.

"It's like this, see if Brother Zhao Cheng can do it, don't think he is a rough man, but he can read." Zhao Cheng's wife recommended.

"He can read?" Now Tong Xiaowu lacks such skills.

"Well, I studied in school for a period of time when I was a child. I can recognize simple characters, although I can't recognize complex ones completely, but as long as you are willing to learn, you can definitely learn."

Zhao Cheng is planning to go to the county to find a job these days, and he earns little far away from home. Now that Tong Xiaowu's family is recruiting, they can ask, maybe they will succeed.

"Sister-in-law, hurry up and recite a poem for Yuchen's wife." Zhao Wang stepped forward and tugged at her man.

"I'm busy driving!"

The man's face turned red, and he pulled off his sleeve. Mrs. Zhao stepped forward and grabbed his whip: "I'll do it, you go recite poems, hurry up."

"No need..." Tong Xiaowu hastily stopped.

Her words made Zhao Cheng think that the other party wanted to reject him, and he yelled as soon as he turned around: "The moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground, look up at the bright moon, and look down at your hometown..."

　Tomorrow this book will be on the PK, I hope everyone can help, vote for recommendation, like something!Thank you!
