Chapter 122 Tiezhu Becomes the Manager
Tiezhu looked at the mulberry bark in the yard and shook his head:
"There are still a lot in the yard, and a lot has been soaked in the pond in front, but it's still not enough. If we collect more, we can soak more in the pond for use."
Jiang Yuwei nodded:
"You're right. I'll go find the village head and ask him to contact the village heads of nearby villages. I'll also ask them to let the villagers know that we collect elm bark and wood ash. This way, more people will come to sell it."
Tiezhu looked at the sky above his head and frowned:
"Sister Yuwei, I'm afraid it's going to rain in the next few days. I think it would be a waste of time if we can't work if it rains. Why don't we build a long shed in this yard? That way, we can boil paper pulp in the shed on rainy days without delaying the drying of bouquets and paper."
Jiang Yuwei had already thought of this a long time ago. She had to build the shed as soon as possible, otherwise, when the number of orders increased in the future, she was afraid that the paper production would not be able to keep up and the construction period would be delayed.
Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled:
"Okay, Tiezhu has thought so far ahead for me. Anyway, we have finished the papers we ordered, and I am afraid there will be no new work for a while. You can be busy for one more day today, and tomorrow you can go to the mountain together to cut bamboo and build the shed as soon as possible."
Tiezhu felt a little embarrassed by Jiang Yuwei's praise, he lowered his head and scratched his head and continued:
"I was thinking, now that the sun is shining, our paper mill needs more firewood, so we can go up the mountain to chop more firewood, bring it to the backyard to dry, and put it in the shed, so that it can be used when it rains or it's bad in the future. If we save more firewood in spring and summer, we won't be delayed in making paper in winter."
Jiang Yuwei nodded with great satisfaction:
"Okay, I'll leave these things to you from now on. You'll be responsible for overall planning. There will be more and more people in our paper mill in the future, so you must take care of these trivial matters. I declare that from today on, you will be the manager of our paper mill."
Tiedan blushed with excitement when he heard this, and kept bowing to Jiang Yuwei:
"Thank you Sister Yuwei, I will do my best!"
Ning Wu heard it and ran over to pat Tie Zhu on the shoulder, saying with a smile:
"You are so good, Tiezhu. You have become the manager without making any noise. Congratulations, Manager Ning!"
Ning Daya also covered her mouth and laughed:
"Haha, Manager Ning, we will follow your arrangements from now on."
Tiezhu blushed even more after hearing what Ning Daya said, and ran to look at the pot with his head down.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the three of them, shook her head helplessly and smiled:
"Work hard, and when our paper mill becomes bigger and stronger, you can all become managers."
Jiang Yuwei felt that this scene was familiar. Wasn't she the same as the leader who made promises? No, I never make promises. What I said will definitely come true.
Seeing that there was nothing for Jiang Yuwei to do in the backyard, she ran to the front yard to see how Ning Huaizhi's rubbing plate was being carved.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei arrived at the front yard, she saw Ning Wan sitting on a small stool and watching Ning Huaizhi carving obediently. Ning Huaizhi looked up and saw Jiang Yuwei coming. He hurriedly handed the board to Jiang Yuwei and said with a smile as if asking for credit:
"Yuwei, take a look. Am I carving it correctly? It will be done soon after I grind off the rough edges."
Jiang Yuwei took the board and looked at it, nodding repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, this is the kind I want. Wait for me to find you a few more boards so you can carve more."
After hearing this, Ning Huaizhi looked at Ning Wan who was sitting next to him helplessly:
"Wan'er, it's not that Daddy won't carve the wooden figure for you. I'll carve it for you after I finish what your mother asked me to do. Don't worry."
After hearing this, Ning Wan could only nod aggrievedly.
Seeing this, Ning Huaizhi had to work faster, and the carving knife in his hand was almost smoking.
Jiang Yuwei took a few pieces of gray tofu and some preserved eggs and went to the village head's house:
"Li Zheng, are you home?"
When Ning Qiu heard that it was Jiang Yuwei's business, he hurriedly went out to greet her:
"Sister Yuwei, how come you have time to come here today?"
Jiang Yuwei handed the basket in her hand to Ning Qiu and said with a smile:
"I came here today because Tori is helping me with something."
Ning Qiu saw Jiang Yuwei coming with something again, and hurriedly pushed the basket back in front of Jiang Yuwei embarrassedly:
"Sister Yuwei, you said you would come so why do you have to bring something every time? I won't dare to go to your house anymore if you do this. Do you have to bring some gifts every time you visit?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and pushed the basket into Ning Qiu's hands:
"I didn't say that. Besides, I don't know what you are busy doing at home on weekdays. I never see you come to our yard to play. Now that Daya has moved to our yard, you should go around more often. This thing is not expensive. I just brought some for your parents to taste. Don't refuse it anymore."
While the two were talking, Li Zheng came out of the house:
"Yuwei, you're here."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and nodded to Li Zheng:
"Li Zheng, I came here today to ask you to do something. Are you familiar with the Li Zhengs of the villages around us?"
The village head thought for a moment and nodded:
"It's not that we're familiar with each other, we just know each other, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuwei took a step forward and spoke slowly:
"I was thinking that the bark of the mulberry trees in our village has been almost harvested, so I simply asked the village head to ask several nearby villages. Anyone who is willing to go to the mountains to peel the bark of the mulberry trees can bring it to our yard to sell. We also collect the wood ash from each family all year round. Now the paper mill is slowly getting going. After all, I have hired three or four people. I can't afford to have a group of people waiting at home if I can't collect the materials."
The chief nodded and said:
"Okay, this is a good thing. I'll go around each village and talk to their headmen about this. They will definitely be happy that the villagers can have an extra income!"
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Jiang Yuwei said goodbye to the head of the village and walked towards the courtyard.
When Jiang Yuwei was about to reach the courtyard, she suddenly heard a loud bang. Well, it was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Jiang Yuwei was a little curious about what had fallen. Could it be a wild boar that had lost its footing? Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei hurried to the nearby woods to check the situation.
Jiang Yuwei approached and found that it was a person who had fallen down. She was immediately disappointed. She looked up at the hillside and was shocked. He must have died after falling from such a height. What should she do? Should she find a place to bury him? Or should she just leave him here and ignore him? It seemed a bit unkind to ignore him. Otherwise, should she go back and ask the head of the village for help?
Jiang Yuwei was about to leave when she heard the man's faint voice:
"help me……"
Jiang Yuwei hurried forward to check his breath. Hmm, it seems that he is not dead yet. How about being merciful and saving him?
Jiang Yuwei hesitated for a while, then helped the person up and walked towards her own yard.
