MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 270 The population is booming
Chapter 270 The population is booming
Yun Niang asked very quickly: "Liu Qi just re-read the delivery standards written by Manager Qin to all of us. It says that each bookcase must be equipped with two shoulder straps?"
Qin Yao ate her meal with a big mouthful, unable to speak. She nodded when she heard the words, and asked her if she had any questions. He's craftsmanship is already very good, and now Qiu's details are added to it. Oh my god, she didn't know the workers were eating so well!
He lowered his head and took another big mouthful of multigrain steamed bun soaked in vegetable soup. It was so delicious.
At the same venue, Qin Yao was in high spirits, while Yun Niang looked tangled.
“Originally, we bought it ready-made from an embroidery shop in the county town, which was a bit expensive. Now the amount we need has suddenly changed from one hundred to ten thousand. After all, it’s even more expensive!”
She made a hesitant suggestion: "I was just thinking, how about we give it to the daughters-in-law from several nearby villages to make it?"
Qin Yao asked doubtfully: "Can their embroidery work meet our standards?"
"Or, you can find someone who can write to help you write." Qin Yao smiled and looked at Liu Qi, who was already being pressed by Liu Zhong in front of the stone mill to count, and winked at Yun Niang.
Qin Yao walked home on the tail of the setting sun and walked through the fields by the river. The villagers she met along the way greeted her.
But then, he suddenly remembered that he couldn’t write a word, he only knew how to flick ink, and his smile fell.
Qin Yao looked at Yun Niang in amazement. She could even say the word "kill a chicken with a bull's knife."
Yun Niang was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, saying that she would definitely handle this matter well.
Qin Yao stood up and said: "Very good. I think your idea is very good. Then I'll do what you said. You first draw up the charter and give it to me. I'll give you the funds after I read it and think it's okay." manage."
Think again about Yun Niang a year ago. She was dedicated to guarding the small stall at home. She spoke softly and rarely went out. She was not as decisive and courageous as she is now.
For example, they can still buy fabrics and needlework from embroidery shops in the city. When the quantity is large, the cost and price can be lowered, and then they can notify nearby embroidery ladies to come and get work.
When there was a daughter in the family, she would proudly say: "Our daughter is capable and sensible. We don't need to worry about Mrs. Qin. The factory manager will definitely handle the tasks assigned by us!"
She has children in the stationery factory and asks her to tell them if her children are disobedient and they will help her deal with those brats.
Yun Niang laughed "Hey", she understood. Qin Yao has been in the factory all afternoon, helping out whenever necessary. With her joining, everyone seems to be more energetic in their work.
The fabric of the shoulder straps does not need to be too good, it just needs to be strong and soft to relieve the pressure on the shoulders.
The villagers of Liujia Village who were working in the fields looked at the young workers returning home from work as the sun set. They felt that these days were getting more and more exciting.
The embroiderers in the village are only paid fifteen or twenty cents for one piece, and there are many people rushing to do this job.
Yun Niang nodded wildly, "Okay, okay. There are several embroiderers in the villages near us who are very skilled in craftsmanship, and the patterns on the shoulder straps are very simple. If they do it, we only need to give them the raw materials, and then give them dozens of Just make money.”
However, there were a few who were gnawing on the marrow and bones of their children. The supervisors at the top were paying attention and took away their wages and asked them to come back to them if they wanted to use the money, so as not to be robbed by those bastards.
That sound echoed in the silent valley, bringing infinite vitality to these excessively quiet mountains and forests.
Girls get two cents more than the average male carpenter, twelve cents a day, and after the settlement, they take home a heavy package of copper coins.
Yun Niang has just calculated the cost. It turns out that she went to the embroidery shop to buy a ready-made shoulder strap. A shoulder strap costs them ninety cash, but if the women in the village are asked to make it, the cost may only be fifty or sixty cash.
The two of them looked at the new factory that was about to be completed, with bright smiles and bright eyes.
“Mr. Qin, what do you think?” Yun Niang looked at Qin Yao a little uneasily, waiting for her to make a decision.
These fifteen-year-old girls are the main force in the factory. Not only can they make money for themselves, but they can also provide subsidies for their families. Who would dislike them for staying at home with more mouths to eat when they are older?
In the evening, the workers who gathered from each village returned from work and went back together.
It is best for a village to have a capable embroiderer who is responsible for supervising the work and helping to check customs and deliver the cloth. This will also facilitate unified management.
The happiest person was Carpenter Liu. When Qin Yao came, all the responsibilities on his shoulders were lifted, and he could sit on the pile of wood with Uncle Jiu and smoke a dry cigarette.
There is a difference of thirty or forty cents between fifty or sixty cents and ninety cents, a difference of ten thousand pieces, which is three to four hundred taels of silver.
“Prosperous, prosperous.”
Several families with only daughters drove away the matchmakers who came to meet the girls, saying that their girls were not in a hurry to get married now and would wait for a few more years to raise them.
Qin Yao knew what she was worried about, and suggested that she could use drawings if she couldn't write, or tell her after adjusting the order of things clearly in her mind.
The tribesmen discovered that girls can also make money to support their families and themselves, and they are very capable.
With the support of the stationery factory, these poor children can now secretly buy some delicious food for toothpaste, which brings a bit of color to their faces.
After Qin Yao finished eating the food in the jar, Mrs. Qiu took the initiative to take away the jar and chopsticks and wash them. She just waited for Qin Yao's "empty bowl". After washing, she would finish today's work and go home~
Yun Niang glanced at He's Qiu's sister-in-law with envy, and continued to talk to Qin Yao about the specific details of the operation.
What’s more, you’ll be charged by the piece. If you do more, you’ll get more, if you do less, you’ll get less. The price of each piece of embroidery work can be clearly marked. The embroidery girls in the city are very good at charging high prices, but the shoulder straps are actually very expensive. For them, this is killing a chicken with a knife.
All this is because a stationery factory was built in the village, which became popular and prosperous.
If you are quick with your hands and feet, you can make two pairs of shoulder straps in one day.
I just look forward to staying a few more years and providing good food, drink and clothing to my aunt.
There were few shames in the mountains in the past year, and now I can hear the echo of people chatting.
The clan elders who used to talk about the prosperity of the population every day but did not admit that girls also belong to the population, now see the girls smiling and going home with them after work, they can't help laughing no matter how hard they talk. Whispering continuously:
Since there is no restriction on men and women in the factory, many girls who are unmarried or waiting to be married have joined Yunniang's painter's team. Because at first glance they are all women, Sister-in-law Zhou even jokingly called them a women's army.
The villagers didn't know how to say nice things, but their gratitude was almost overflowing from their eyes. Qin Yao was about to walk away, but they were still watching from a distance, asking her to remember to call the children to come home to pick vegetables and mulberries, and dig peanuts. Eat at home.
Qin Yao was most afraid of this, so she accepted the kindness, but her pace quickened, almost dodging all the way to her home. The door slammed shut, shutting out the enthusiasm that was about to overwhelm her.
