Chapter 175 Meeting Wei Jinyi by chance
"I've chosen it, I'll ask them to come over and show it to you, Young Master."
"good."
Manager Yu led the ten people he picked out to Wei Ruo.
Guard Yu introduced: "The four here are long-term workers who used to work in our village, and the six over there are selected from the recent recruits, and one of them has been an apprentice in a pharmacy."
This is Wei Ruo's request, and those with experience as a pharmacy apprentice will be given priority.
Wei Ruo looked at them one by one, and found that they were young lads with great strength, energy, willingness to endure hardships, and good character. These were the selection criteria that Wei Ruo explained to Manager Yu. These three points should all be in line with the law.
Wei Ruo explained a few words to several people: "You can be selected to work here, and your wages will increase by ten yuan a month, plus a bucket of rice."
"Thank you, my boss!"
Several people quickly thanked.
During this period of grain shortage, many people have no food to eat, and many places that recruit workers have reduced wages, and they can get an extra ten cents and a bucket of rice for a month, which is a great favor to the poor.
"But in the same way, I have higher requirements for you than for others. I believe that Manager Yu has already told you that when you come to work in the workshop, you must abide by the rules and know the importance. The things in your workshop need to be kept secret. You can’t talk to outsiders, not even family members.”
"Once you are found to have violated the regulations, you will be dismissed immediately and will not be hired again."
The last sentence Wei Ruo spoke very harshly.
Several people nodded repeatedly, expressing that they would not betray their boss.
It is not easy to have a place to eat enough these days, especially those few refugees who have just been accepted. There is a place to live and a salary to get. Unless their brains are kicked by a donkey, such an opportunity must be seized.
Then Wei Ruo arranged jobs for ten of them.
There are five houses, the first one is mainly used for grinding, grinding the transported materials into powder, and these powders are used to make five-spice powder. In addition to the five-spice powder, Wei Ruo also asked them to grind some medicinal materials.
Not only because Wei Ruo needs to use these medicinal materials, but also to confuse the public.
Wei Ruo arranged three people in this room, just to do the grinding work. For the time being, Xu Zhushan will personally do the subsequent blending work, because the relevant formula ratios are still in the hands of people he can trust.
The second room is mainly for the processing of oysters. The purchased fresh oysters are shucked and washed. This room is arranged for two people.
The third room is cooking, which is used to boil the processed oysters into oil. That pre-made hearth and big boiler is for this. Wei Ruo arranged for two people in this room.
The fourth and fifth rooms are reserved for making soy sauce, and there is a large open space in front of the fifth room, which is used for drying soy sauce.
But the production cycle of soy sauce is relatively long, so Wei Ruo did not agree on soy sauce when talking with Fan Chengxu, but only agreed to supply him with five-spice powder and oyster sauce.
Wei Ruo temporarily arranges three people for these two houses, and then considers increasing the manpower after the stable operation.
Wei Ruo likes to take steps step by step, and doesn't want to take too many steps at once and bring unnecessary risks to himself.
There are spices for making five-spice powder, some medicinal materials, and oysters and soybeans.
Then Wei Ruo asked a few people to start working, while himself and Xiumei supervised and guided them, and corrected any mistakes in time.
Wait until everything is on the right track, and it will be dark.
Although he had a busy day, Wei Ruo felt refreshed.
Sure enough, for Wei Ruo, doing what she likes is much less labor-intensive than fighting with people in the house!
Leaving Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo decided to go to Zuixianju for a meal.
Xiumei was a little worried: "Miss, are we still going to Zuixianju?"
"Since we want to do business with them, it's better to know more about them. What's more, we won't be in time for dinner when we go back to the school captain's mansion. Why don't we eat a little outside? It just so happens that today's outfit is suitable." Wei Ruo said.
"Miss, I am always worried that we will be recognized by others! The last time we went to Zuixianju was for revenge. Today, we are our own people in Zhuangzi. It's okay to be discovered, but I am really worried about going to Zuixianju like this now."
Xiumei was a little worried.
"It's really found out. It's probably because of the damage to my boudoir's reputation and the difficulty of getting married. It's not a big deal. I didn't want to marry a good man, so why should I be afraid? As long as I don't hang myself with a white silk , I have nothing to worry about." Wei Ruo said frankly.
Every lady disguised herself as a man and went to a restaurant to eat. Although the rumors are not good, it is not a terrible thing. Wei Ruo can still afford the consequences.
"Okay, but I still have to protect you so that you won't be easily discovered!" Xiumei said firmly.
Although the young lady has a plan for the young lady, she still hopes that there will be other possibilities at that time, and the young lady does not have to marry the dead to become a widow.
What's more, isn't there Brother Xiaoyong? In case Brother Xiaoyong really succeeds, then the lady will have a backer in the future!
Arriving at Zuixianju, Wei Ruo asked for a box on the second floor, and when he was about to enter the door, he saw Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang coming out of the next room.
Ke Chongshan and Lin Fang are here, does it mean that the second brother is also here?
With a little curiosity, Wei Ruo walked to the door of the next box, and was about to take a peek at the situation in the room, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the room and dragged her in.
Seeing this, Xiumei stepped forward quickly and pushed away the person who was dragging Wei Ruo, and then stood in front of Wei Ruo.
But after a closer look, the room is full of acquaintances. When they were in the house in the alley that day, they had already greeted Wei Ruo.
Wei Jinyi himself was also in the room, sitting directly opposite the door.
Xiumei was planning to fight someone, but when she saw the situation, she loosened her fist, and then turned to look at Wei Ruo.
"What are you two sneaking around at the door?" Zhang Yi, who dragged Wei Ruo in, looked at Wei Ruo and Xiumei very vigilantly.
Today, the two of them were dressed in men's clothing. They looked ugly and looked a little strange.
Of course Wei Ruo knew that the other party did not recognize him. After thinking for a while, he put on a smile and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm just passing by, and I don't have any other intentions."
"There is no other meaning, what are you doing so close?" Zhang Yi was not easily persuaded.
