Chapter 156 Zhao's Workshop Opens
"Then Auntie Wang, can you swim?" Zhao Shiying looked at Wang Guifang again.
"Oh, I really can't swim." Wang Guifang suddenly realized. Yes, she was so focused on going down to the river to save people that she forgot that she couldn't swim.
"Well, then I understand. The person I announce as admitted is Brother Wang Mian. Do you have any objection, Aunt Wang?" Zhao Shiying looked at Wang Guifang.
Wang Guifang moved her lips a few times but still didn't say anything, then shook her head. In fact, she already knew what was going on.
The difference between her and Wang Mian was not in age or gender, but in literacy.
"Okay, then please go back first, Aunt Wang. I'm sorry to bother you for so long. I hope you will accept this little token of my appreciation." Wang Ronghua came out of the kitchen holding a piece of meat, which was estimated to be about one pound.
"This...how can this be done? No, no, it won't delay anything." Wang Guifang waved her hands repeatedly.
"Aunt Wang, if you don't take it, you'll be looking down on me." Wang Ronghua said pretending to be angry.
"If I took it, I would be ungrateful. You called me here with good intentions. It's because I'm not as capable as others and you didn't like it. How can I let you spend money on it?" Wang Guifang wanted to leave after saying this.
"Take it. You are not a stranger. Just think of it as a gift from my old friend." Min Wenying came over, took the meat from Wang Ronghua and stuffed it into Wang Guifang.
"This..." Wang Guifang was speechless. This family was really good. She wouldn't be angry even if they didn't like her, but she didn't expect them to give her a piece of meat as compensation.
It made her feel embarrassed.
In the end, Wang Guifang had no choice but to take the meat and leave.
Wang Mian, who stayed behind, was a little excited. He didn't expect that he could stay. Does this mean that he will be the one to run the grocery store in the village in the future?
"Congratulations on passing our assessment, but this is just the beginning. What happens next will be a real test for you. Are you afraid of hardship?" Zhao Shiying looked at Wang Mian.
"What I'm least afraid of in my life is suffering. After all, I've been through hardships since I was a child," said Wang Mian.
"Okay, if I ask you to do more work, would you be willing to do it for the same pay?"
"Of course. As long as it is my responsibility, I will do my best to get it done." Wang Mian nodded.
"Well, where do you live? Can we go and see?" Zhao Shiying asked.
"It's right at the entrance of the village. As long as you don't mind, you can go there." Wang Mian nodded.
Although he was curious as to why it was always the little baby who asked him questions, it seemed that her family had no objection.
Although Wang Mian was confused, he kept it to himself.
Soon the group arrived at Wang Mian's home at the entrance of the village.
Looking at the three somewhat dilapidated thatched houses in front of them, everyone fell silent.
Sure enough, what Wang Mian said was right. What he was least afraid of was suffering.
Wang Mian blushed a little embarrassedly, then raised his head slightly to open the door and let everyone in to sit down.
Zhao Shiying just took a look and then said, "There's no need to sit down. We're just here to get acquainted with the place. We'll notify you to start work in a few days when we've stocked up on the goods." After saying that, Zhao Shiying waved her hand and prepared to leave.
The group came and went in a hurry.
By the time I finished the work, it was almost 3 p.m.
The Zhao family was about to go back, so Zhao Shiying gave the key to her grandmother and asked Min Wenying to keep it first.
Several people left.
The next day, Min Wenying went to the rented house, opened the door, took a look and helped clean.
The contents have been moved out.
Unexpectedly, Wang Mian would come and help clean up on his own initiative. Min Wenying likes this child very much.
Really sensible.
Zhao Shiying and Wang Ronghua came to Liu Jinfu's house today and made the things they needed first. It just so happened that the Liu family had ready-made wood.
It was promised that it would be completed in two days, and now the three members of the Liu family joined together to do the carpentry work.
.......
Soon it was November 21st, the day the workshop opened.
"Crackle, crackle~" the sound of firecrackers rang out.
"Zhao's workshop is open today. Everyone is welcome to bring us mountain products. We are absolutely fair to everyone and the price is the same as what you sell in town. Thank you for your support, fellow villagers." Zhao Guocheng only said a few words before announcing that Zhao's workshop officially opened today and everyone started to work.
There are currently fifteen people in the workshop.
Erbazi and Shuanzi also helped in the workshop.
Eleven of them were men and four were women.
Now four men are starting the cleaning work in the front yard, and four women are doing the pre-production processing in the production room.
The rest of the people were also assigned tasks.
The villagers were unable to come in and watch, after all, some things involved secret recipes.
So the villagers stood outside the workshop to congratulate and watch the fun.
Zhao Guocheng entered the workshop only after most people had left. The gate was wide open and he could only see people in the front yard washing fruit.
Wang Ronghua is working with a few people at the moment.
Of course, the key step still needs to be left for her to do.
After a day like this, Wang Ronghua, Zhao Guocheng and Zhao Shimin were all very tired, only Zhao Shiying was relatively relaxed.
Although she wanted to help, she really couldn't, she couldn't help much.
When Wang Ronghua got home in the evening, she was so tired that she didn't even want to cook.
"I can't do this. I feel like my waist is going to break." Wang Ronghua pounded his back while eating.
"Mother, why don't we buy a few servants and let them do the core technology when we come back, and we just need to check it." Zhao Shimin suggested.
"This is a good suggestion. I support my sister," said Zhao Shiying.
"I think this will work. We both can't possibly be in the workshop all the time, so we'll definitely need someone to replace us. Shimin's suggestion is very good. If we buy two people back, we can be more relaxed. The key is that we have their indentures in our hands. After signing the confidentiality agreement, they won't dare to tell anyone." Zhao Guocheng thought of the most crucial point.
"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Wang Ronghua nodded.
So the next day, the two of them went to the workshop to explain the situation and then took Zhao Shiying to the market in a ox cart.
Only Zhao Shimin worked in the workshop because all of Wang Ronghua's work was taken over by Zhao Shimin.
After the three of them arrived in the town, they found the agent and stated their needs.
Li Zhongren brought more than a dozen men and women who met the requirements.
They are all middle-aged people ranging from thirty to fifty.
Zhao Shiying looked at these people curiously, then at her mother.
Wang Ronghua asked a few questions and asked everyone to stretch out their hands for her to see. After a round of inspection, Wang Ronghua selected four people.
One of the couples was a couple, one was an old woman and the other was a man, a professional farmer.
This was naturally bought for the purpose of managing the farm.
This man not only farmed the fields, but also managed an orchard.
This reminded Wang Ronghua of her family's two acres of grapes, and she naturally decided to buy them.
"Madam, I have two sons. Can you buy my two sons at the same time as me and my wife? They are both capable of working. I will make sure they eat less and work more. Please, madam, master and young lady." Suddenly, the couple knelt down together, and the woman spoke.
